K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports7 mos pregnant but the interview was on feb 2014, could b my case could b expedite?

Your Child, the child of a US Citizen is a US Citizen and will NOT have to have a petition, as someone said above.   But you will have to Report the Birth of a US Citizen with the Consulate office.  We completed this for our Daughter and comparing THAT experience with the I130 Petition- NO COMPARISON- it is rather straight forward and quick.  Also as someone stated this WILL effect the affidavit of support and raise the income requirements.  Based on the size of the family.

 

THe WHOLE IMMIGRATION thing is so long and drawn out ---  My feelings go out to each and everyone faced with this issue.  Keep the faith.

Don't make it hard on yourself..all you need is your Ecu police record..you have lived No where else so its all you need. You do NOT have to go chaseing after all you heritage your going to make this more difficult!..you ONLY need where you have lived your life. Im waiting on my Danish husband and also he had to send in police records..and he has ONLY lived in Denmark so that's ALL NVC needs..don't make it more work on yourself ..

PhilippinesGot our NOA2, what's next?

What you do is expect to be a little busy for the next three or four months, give or take. During this time you'll need to pay fees as they become available, fill out your Affidavit of Support form, get your other documentation together....follow that link sweet cakes gave for the steps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWords of Encouragement...

I have to agree this process is not for the faint of heart and those ready to give up easily. I have cried many nights out of frustration just because I have no control over my life and what to expect. I felt lost at times because no one understood my pain. I havent had much of a support except in visa journey. I am so happy today my I130 was approved today and I can smile and laugh without worry creeping in my thoughts. Today I am celebrating!!! I hope soon to be with my husband finally since a year and almost four months now being apart.... I hope we have this process completed before the two year mark. I hope everyone finds their reasons to celebrate throughout this process.

 

Yep. It's really been hard over this year to explain to our family and friends why the heck it's taking so long (because even we can't fathom this).  They've asked some funny questions:  "Why won't his country let him out?" (like he's in prison or something! LOL)  and "Why won't the U.S. let you in?" and "Why don't you just pay them extra for express service?"  (I laughed out loud at that one!) 

 

I've explained so many times I'm sick of talking about it when I get together with friends. And midway through, over and over having someone ask all perky-like: "Well...any news?" made me want to just tear my hair.

 

Unless you're going through the process, it's hard to explain to people who aren't going through it too.  But hang in there, because it WILL get done, and one day you'll be with your sweeties and all will be fine. :)

Yes. It probably means that they're looking over your paperwork. Commonly called a 'touch.' Nothing to be alarmed about.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAfter entering at US whats next for marriage?

We got married at the courthouse in Nashville. I had to call to make an appointment for us to do this, because so many people get married this way. We filled out one form online, and then arrived early, and sat with a clerk who filled out the rest of our forms and took our fees. It was more fun than a regular all-out-party type wedding, for us; we stayed in a lovely hotel and had our wedding night dinner at the Capitol Grill. Wonderful! I'd recommend this way, because it's so much less expensive; you can save your money for a wonderful honeymoon together.

 

Just go to the state website and search for information. It's all on there, how to do it and who to call.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 visa interview today but fiance's name not on the list??

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! After that initial scare everything else went smoothly, and he was approved in the end! He said the interview was really short and the woman was very nice. I will write up a more detailed review when we have both calmed down enough to process everything. We really appreciate all the positive thoughts and messages, and we are hoping that you all get good news soon as well!!

Wow, what a crazy day! I'm sure you're waiting for your pulse and blood pressure to return to normal!

 

Congrats on his approval! :D


OrtolanFemaleNetherlands2014-04-21 18:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTo Call or Not to Call, that is my question

Try not to expect anything before the 6 month mark; you might then be pleasantly surprised if it goes faster.


OrtolanFemaleNetherlands2014-04-30 13:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow frequently do you check USCIS website?))))

I used to check it 4 and 5 times a day, and sometimes in the middle of the night. It got to be kind of a compulsion to check; I dunno why, it just made me feel better to check it. Ridiculous, I know...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 
Huh? You sent your petition in August and already got approved, and you're F2A? That's blazingly fast. Did you do a DCF or something?
 
How are we all supposed to think positively? Most of us are U.S. Citizens and we see that fiance petitions and F2A petitions are being processed faster than us. With all due respect, that's a very hard environment for a citizen to stay positive in. 



Im sorry about that. I did nothing but to submit all of the said document. F2A are maybe approved faster than fiance coz we have to wait for a visa to be available for a year or two while you on the other hand as a petitioner of a fiance you just have to wait 3-5 months for your visa to be approved and 1-2 months for the availability of the visa. Fiance petitions mostly process not more than a year. Unlike ours as F2A 2-3yrs. Does tha make sense? I hope it does.

No, it's not just you. It makes no sense at all and the whole process right now is completely backwards.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

Hey everyone - just checked my status on uscis.gov and it still says "initial review"...so i'm wondering if my application is even being looked at.  Should I give them a call?  if you're getting a RFE, at least you know it's on someone's desk being reviewed. 



When did you receive your NOA1?


JMG2013FemalePhilippines2013-10-04 22:47:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

What did it say?

RFE STATES: petitioner must submit a legible copy of the front and  back of form i551 (greencard) or the petitioner's passport which includes admission stamps showing the entry as LPR as well as the identificaiton page. 

 

Got an RFE since i forgot to include my GC photocopy the first time i sent the documents for the petition.

Glad to finally have read this forum. Been paranoid lately with some of the forum august filers with NOA2 already? I dont know how it goes. All i care is that im on the right track and im not alone. Finally got myself here no more worries. No more paranoias. Anyways, sent mine last aug22 and NOA1 is dated aug27. I was a bit paranoid not getting the NOA2 just like august filers ive read. Sent my husbands petition with incomplete requirements. No photocopy of immigrants card and 2x2 pic with no name at the back. Geee i am hoping they wont turn dow my petition just for this. Please pray for me! Thanks everyone just want to vent out to tak my worries away!
