I never saw this threat. I sent it in on April 6th and received my NOA1 one week later dated on the 9th. Now the wait is starting to take its toll. And yes, I hate the weekends which means no possible news. smile.gif I wish all of you a speedy approval.


It's funny because we normally look forward to weekends. However, in this case, I think most of us who are waiting agree that we are not looking forward to them, especially Sunday, when there's no mail. laughing.gif



I am considering getting myself a second job on the weekends. Not because really need the extra income ... but more for the fact it will keep myself busy 7 days a week and make this waiting period go by so much faster. The only days that go by fast for me now are the days I work lol ...


Not me... it would consume my unlimited weekend Skype time. That's something to look forward to.

Ok maybe I'm getting over my head but I wonder where we find the forms for the 2nd round that we need to send in...the i-134 was easy to find but the others....good luck....do you think they send it to the fiance when they do the nv2?

Do you mean after NOA2 (approval of your K1 in the US)? There's info about packets 3 and 4 (and a list of forms and the checklist) here: http://www.visajourn...e...&cty=London

hello we filed our application last month,just wanna ask here to vj members here,how to check you status online?
any ideas..share naman dyan..
thank you


Get the receipt number from your NOA1 or the back of your cashed check, and go here: https://egov.uscis.g.../jsps/index.jsp to sign up for an account and track your progress. Note, the progress moving bit is not quick. It will show "pending" most of the time it's with USCIS.

If you don't have your receipt number, then you won't be able to track it until you get one (or maybe call USCIS). They take phone calls for these issues: http://www.uscis.gov...0000ecd190aRCRD

Good luck!

Hey Everyone.
My fiancé hasn't received anything in the mail yet, but I was able to pull our case number off the image from the back of the cheque. lol So, I created an account on the USCIS website and according to that, they mailed us our NOA1 on May 6th biggrin.gif
Hurrah! Tiny progress! lol


NOA1 Received today with a date of April 22nd. Should I put todays date in as NOA1 or the actual date on my NOA1 for the purpose of my timeline?


I think I would put the actual NOA1 date of April 22nd. Not 100% sure though


You ARE 100% right! It's the date on the NOA1 itself, not the date you receive the hardcopy. smile.gif

Hope to return to the wheels turning.


I wish I had the money to do that! Have fun


Someone needs to come up with cheap airfares to or from the UK. smile.gif

I called the department of immigration today b/c my fiance is in the process of moving. For the beneficiary's notification of a move, it only requires a letter to the service center. Just in case anyone else runs into that situation. I'm attaching a copy of our NOA1 to the letter.

Should I be worried that the check has been cashed, but we've received no email confirmation as to our NOA1?

Can't check the status online, as only the front of the check was scanned/submitted, with no case number found.

Sometimes it takes a week or so from the cashing date to get NOA1 in the mail. There won't be any email (at least I didn't have any) about it. I also had no case number anywhere on my scanned check.

Hang in there!

Also do Money Orders speed the process up at all? I used a money order instead of a cheque because they don't need to wait to clear wacko.gif


They process personal checks electronically. You can at least easily track your personal check if you do banking online and your bank scans your checks in. Our packet was rec'd by CSC on April 4 and the check was cleared on April 7. Quick, quick!

Thought I'd also throw my name into the mix...our I-129F was sent to CSC April 7th. I keep looking online to see if my check has been cashed yet but nope! mad.gif

It's also annoying that I won't be able to check the snail mail for NOA 1 or 2, since both my fiance and I are in Australia right now. Guess I just have to count on my parents to tell me ASAP if they receive anything!

Anyway, good luck to all of us April filers and to anyone else still waiting!


Same boat. Away from home, wish it was with my girl though. Lucky.
They have yet to cash my check yet... Maybe they will open it and approve it in the same day... hahaha. C'mon CSC be kind to us April filers.


The NOA1's seem to be coming pretty quick. You should have a check cashed by the end of the week or early next, then the NOA will be on it's way to you. Good luck!

P.S. Skype is good, too!


I wouldnt be able to live without Skype and a webcam smile.gif


Same here! It makes him seem so much closer... It's to a point where if we chat without webcam it seems weird because I can't see him! lol
Sigh... still not the same though, but yes.. helpful for now.


Ian has a SkypeOut plan where he could add a local number and I have an Alltel pay-as-u-go phone where I can choose his local number to be in my "circle of friends" = relatively free Skype calls to my cell. Even better is when his Skype mobile phone is working and he can call my cell or my phone number from wherever he is.

We might be doing the webcam Skype thing, soon, since I have a good Internet line being installed within the next few days.

Happy Wednesday!

I am in same boat. Mine was also Approved on April 12 , I got my Case number from NVC on April 26. Still nochange. Nothing has happened yet. Still waiting:(
they have not transferred my case yet


Some people move right through NVC. Some randomly get a review which delays the forwarding to the embassy. No worries, though. It moves on!

We sat around for 30 days, and it was very frustrating. After that, things seemed to move super rapidly!

SO..IM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!
**** NEWS FLASH****


Those of us who got out NOA2 on or after MAY 14th 2012...GUESS what our appilcations are still sitting at CSC waiting for then to compile enough to sent to NVC in new hamshire!! Outrage!!!


On May 14, 2012, my I-129F my PETITION FOR FIANCE was approved (so thats the good news!) BUT!!!!!!!!!

I still havent got a case number yet from NVC, despite my daily calls to NVC...so today I called USCIS (as its been 3 weeks and more than 15 business days) and I spoke with a supervisor after waiting for 45 minutes and we found out its still sitting at USCIS CSC office as they only send out approved petitions from time to time and they are waiting to compile enough to send out to NVC...crazy or what!!!! Not fair!!! We all wait so long to be re-united with our loved ones and our packet is sitting around still!!! They said hopefully by the end of this week it will go out to NVC..grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

So i did a little research scrolling back on this posting and

All the people who got approved just 5 days before us (like May 7.8.9,10,11)went to the NVC and got case numbers (and yes I have genuinely happy for all of you!!! :) ) around May 20-23rd exactly 2 weeks.

But those of us who got out NOA2 on or after MAY 14th 2012...GUESS what our appilcations are sitting at CSC waiting for them to "get enough applications to send all at once"

HAVENT WE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least we have each other to vent!!!

V&V

awaiting NVC case number


Just so you're aware, paperwork is sometimes randomly re-reviewed at NVC, and that could be a reason for no case number yet, also. Some people fly through NVC, and other people wait around. Our app sat around NVC for 30 days, and generally people don't go longer than that. Do a search for "Stuck at NVC" to see what I mean, not to freak anyone out, but it stinks to be surprised if this happens.

Hopefully, your wait is just a few days. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone out there seen what a RFE looks like?

Question to anyone who has seen an RFE:


What happens when you get an RFE?

Do you get an email notification? Does it ACTUALLY say "REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE" ?


Or does this only show up in a letter that's mailed to you?


I want to find out because I got this update ONLINE from USCIS 2 days ago and have no idea what it means:

On December 5, 2012, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please check our website at uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.


I called them and they said they mailed something to me, but didn't say what........

So I'm really confused right now. What's going on? Could this be an RFE ???



Thank you for any feedback!


Was your alien number incorrect on your filing? If not, sounds like they changed it for some reason. It doesn't look like this was a show stopper, or else you would get an email saying your application is on hold.



This is what an RFE looks like via email:



*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: xxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: xxxxxxxx

Current Status: REQUEST FOR INITIAL EVIDENCE SENT, CASE PLACED ON HOLD

On December 31, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo worried and confused about my fiancés interview

Thank you guys. I appreciate it, but I'm confused about if he was approved or not. They kept his passport and said we will send it back to you. Does this mean he was approved?

I can't speak for your embassy, but normally they won't take the passport unless the Visa has been approved.  They put a special sheet in the Passport, and then send a courier to deliver it.


Thank you guys. I appreciate it, but I'm confused about if he was approved or not. They kept his passport and said we will send it back to you. Does this mean he was approved?

One other thing to think about... It may be difficult legally to move your children out of the US, assuming the father still has legal ability to see them. My attorney said it would be difficult to move out of my state without very strong evidence that my daughter would be financially and educationally benefited.

Well, item 7.11 here says you can remove conditions after a divorce: http://www.visajourn...tions.html#7.11, but recommends an immigration attorney.

Also, read "Who May File" and "When Should I File" here: http://www.uscis.gov.../i-751instr.pdf. If you get divorced, then you can file to have conditions removed immediately, according to the documentation.

Save documents to prove you intermingled accounts, rental agreements, etc. There may be other proof required to show you entered the marriage in good faith.

I recommend researching VJ for similar situations. You may find people who've made it through this process who have recommendations.

Good luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGetting RFE in I-130 process is Good or Bad?

This seems to be weird! Getting RFE in I-130 process is Good or Bad?

To clear the RFE would take couple of weeks to months - which is bad.
But when the RFE is cleared, since the officer reviews your file again, is the chance high to get the approval? If yes, it is good.

All those experienced this would have upper hand to share their experiences.

Loto


If you have an RFE right near the beginning of the process, it's usually for a missing signature or a critical missing piece of paper. Did you get a letter in the mail yet identifying the problem.

You can get an RFE anywhere in the process. It just means you have to get them something extra, as you know. It's not a sign of good or bad... it's just a delay.
