K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!

Deron, you are right! I've never noticed it before, but those April filers who already have NOA2s sent in their apps in March! But they got their NOA1s in April, so technically they're still considered April filers right?

Anyhoooo, I'm also in the same boat of waiting and frustration, I got my NOA1 on April 10, you got yours April 11, and Wioombeen got his April 9. Hopefully we all get approved pretty soon....tomorrow, perhaps!!

I just checked, we got touched again today, but we didn't call today, so this might just be the real touch, right, right, right?? COME ON NOW, CSC!!! <_<


Rambaldi,

Let's hope for all of our sake that was a legit touch....

I think that technically the NOA1 determines if your an April filer, however I've noticed that the send date has as much to do with adjudication time as any. For example, if you look at those that were approved, from NOA1 to NOA2, in a short period of time, many times you'll see that it took quite a while for them to get their NOA1. The dates seem pretty consistent from mailing to NOA2, but again this isn't scientific just a result of combing the timelines way too much. ;)

I'm in the opposite boat and concerned as my NOA1 took only one day to be issued. If you and wioombeen get approved quite a bit before I do, that would potentially be proof that I am right about the mailing date being relevant. Oh please let me be wrong.... :)

Go CSC go!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!

Indeed Deron we are in the same boat. That is one thing I love about VJ is we don't have to endure this insane waiting alone. HAHA not that I'm glad you all are waiting too haha but you know what i mean. I am still trying to be optimistic that my fiance can be here before Christmas.

I feel blessed that I was able to spend 6 months last winter with her in the Philippines. The fact we spent so much time living together has made this time apart all the more frustrating for me. Plus we have had to endure a system that is even worse than the USICS process. We had to go through an annulment in the Philippines. Talk about frustrations haha. That took almost two years. And I've been told I was lucky thats all it took. But with that compared to the time we have been waiting for the K-1 process I really can feel how close I am to the end haha.

But as I said before i would walk though fire for her so I'm grateful all I have to do is wait in the worlds longest line for her hehe.

Just think. This time next year. The K-1 process will be months behind us. We will already be married and enjoying life. Well yeah there is still paperwork to do the AOS and lifting conditions blah blah blah. but once that special person is with you, its all downhill from there.

The waiting sucks......sucks bad....I go bat nuts just waiting for a book to come in the mail from amazon haha. this, THIS is excruciating. But honestly..I know the end to this story, well this chapter anyway haha. And knowing that, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

So if you can, take solace that we are indeed in this together. It's not just you having terrible luck.(a fact that I have a hard time realizing sometimes haha) But eventually, we will also, ALL get through this together.

:)

Wioombeen,

This isn't the first time your words have helped me out. I appreciate your perspective and I'm doing my best to follow suit. I believe you are right, we are already so lucky to have our SO's, this time is just a small blip in the big picture of life. Wishing it to be smaller is both futile and frustrating, therefore focusing on the grand scheme of things clearly has it's advantages.

I also spent about 4 months in Ukraine, a time that I am very thankful for. It makes this waiting process more irritating, but I of course wouldn't trade it for anything. It's kind of like the webcam and laptop I brought her last month, I love to see her over the net but I miss her even more each time I see her.

I'm even more thankful now that I didn't have to endure an annulment process. ;) I thought having to wait for my divorce papers, a process that held me up 'the' critical month, was difficult. But alas you are correct, it sure makes it better to have others to share our experiences with. VJ is great, without it I would complain and eventually share my success, to those tired of hearing about it. :)

Thanks again for your response Wioombeen. Take care!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!

Weekly Rant: (seems like the situation hasn't changed at all for weeks...)

So a quick immigration timeline search of CSC shows a whopping 9 applications approved in the last 2+ weeks. Not only that, a total of 1 has been approved so far in July, that's right, 1! First 10 days of June had 25 approvals, first 10 days of May had 53. What's even better is that no one that sent their application in during April has been approved, that's right, not one. Fantastic!!! The only thing I love more than this K-1 process is knowing that I'm lucky enough to have filed at CSC. CSC is such a superstar that our wise government decided to send 2 of the other 3 national service centers application to be processed by CSC right after we all filed. Now, while also dismally slow, TSC and NSC are actually being processed faster than the applications that are actually suppose to be at CSC. Don't forget, TSC and NSC apps, while at CSC, are being processed independently of the true CSC ones, so they really provide no indication of adjudication for us true CSCers. The only real indication we have right now is that those that sent their apps in mid-late March are being processed at the rate of about 1 per day. Let's face it my fellow April filers, we are on the four month plan if we are lucky. No summer love for any of us....



Its true the stats are indeed dismal, but there have been some April filers with CSC that have been approved. DakotaK1 has a NOA1 date of April 9th. JVKnCVO have a NOA1 date of April 14th. both of these couples have received their NOA2's. There have been others as well but I can't remember their names.

Where did you hear that they adjudicate transfered applications separately. This has been a theory posted by some. I did call the CSC using the RFE trick and they assured me they do not. Now I know I don't entirely trust what they say either, but have you read this somewhere or did they tell you that?

I do agree it has sucked not seeing more people announce they have received there NOA2's, but Blues Fairy made a great point earlier, stating that those of us VJ'ers only amount to a small % of all the K-1 filers. So its really hard to truly know how many approvals April filers have chalked up without knowing how many actually filed but never stopped by the VJ to fill out a time line.

I know it's still frustrating. I told myself I would not fret until I hit the 100 day mark. And I'm trying HAHA. But as soon as I hit the 90 day point it has been harder and harder haha. All we can do is take that photo of our better halves out to remind ourselves why we are doing this. :):):):) One thing to note. If we are 4 monthers then our wait for this leg of the journey is almost done. and if not then those torrents of NOA2's should be flying through our doors soon.

;) ;) ;)

Wioombeen.


I appreciate the reply Wioombeen. We are certainly in the same boat together on this one.

My comment on no April filers was not with regards to the NOA1 but as to when the application was sent in. Both DakotaK1 and JVKnCVO sent their apps in during March, not April, many here would consider them March filers. No one that actually mailed the app in April has been approved.

I agree that VJ is not everyone, however if you look at I-129f's sent in April to CSC, NSC, or TSC, not only will you see zero approvals, there is a total of 79 applications. This is certainly a large enough sample space to extrapolate. It you look at the total apps adjudicated last year, this number represents a solid percentage of total filers in a month. I don't remember the totals off the top of my head or I'd say exactly what percentage we VJers are. Now maybe some people are lagging on filing in their timeline, but still...not one. :(

I'm don't recall exactly where I learned that the service centers are being processed independently. It seemed credible at the time so I just filed it as fact. It seems to be backed up by the differences in NOA2 dates, based on NOA1 filing dates, but of course that could be for other reasons. It's not scientific, but the NOA2's at CSC that have recently been approved seem to have NOA1's a couple weeks behind NSC and TSC. Again, I maybe wrong...

I'm with you on the waiting, surely we must almost be done, even if it is four months, and that is a very positive outlook as compared to the 'wait and frustrate.' I was really hoping that I would see my girl this summer, a fact that I am sure is amplifying my frustration. I must keep reminding myself that everyday is one day closer, no more, no less.

I do appreciate the reply, thanks Wioombeen!

Another touch today.

So I called again and they say my case has still not been assigned to anyone. Ya think they really know what's going on over there? haha.

He tried to tell me that they are still adjudicating cases with December dates. I asked him "if thats the case then why have 80%+ of January, February, and March filers have been approved already?" He only told me that it looks like my case will be adjudicated very soon.

Hmmmm who knows hahahha

Wioombeen


I am in the same situation, I was touched everyday last week with only 3 calls and so I called yesterday to see if something was happening. He said the updates were from my calls, so I asked why 5 updates for 3 calls? He told me it was that phonecalls registered as two touches or something of that nature. A couple hours after I called my updated date jumped to the 9th and this morning to the 10th, possibly the two touches resulting from the one phonecall? I pressed him for more info because he was a young guy I thought I could get info out of, and as he was telling me about their internal processing times and not the official ones, our phonecall was cut off. So I'm not sure what's going on, but I do know for sure that I am one day closer to adjudication than I was yesterday...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!
So I got touched on the 4th and again today and I haven't called since Tuesday. I was cautiously optimistic that this finally meant that I, and the rest of us April filers, were being processed. So I called to see my status and they told me that I hadn't been processed yet, I was about a week out as they are currently working on April 2nd. I was stunned since I've never read or heard about them saying a date other than the 'official' date, but she went on to tell me that in about a week my case should be handled. So if she is correct, that is good news for all of us. Let's hope so!

I agree with you. The process is unnecessarily long and very inefficient. They seem to not see that VSC is processing at lighting speed while CSC seems to be sitting in cement.

Why they don't ease the load and transfer some petitions to VSC or NSC I'll never know.

But one thing I do know is that on the other end of this whole bureaucratic nightmare is a beautiful princess waiting to join me over here, and that my friend keeps my head up and a smile on my face. Soon you will be united with your loved one and things will be great for years and years and years and when you look at it that way its just a short time to wait for a lifetime of happiness. :):):)

Wioombeen


Thanks for the reassuring words Wioombeen, I've been pretty steady so far but today for some reason it's all starting to get to me. I hope when I get the NOA2 it will be easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Quinn, the Visa Wait Time site is not on VJ, it's on the state dept website and is updated usually weekly. For J'burg your link is: http://travel.state....m...p;x=88&y=22

Good luck to all, maybe this is OUR week?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!

Got a touch today, first since April 13th. I did call in, but I've done that before and received no touch, plus I'm fairly certain they are not generated by just pulling the case up on the computer, only by actually touching / scanning the file itself. Let's hope this is a good sign for all of us.


I may have gotten excited too soon. I called CSC again and was told that my case hadn't been assigned to someone yet and that the touch was generated by my call. It seems to be confirmed after I got another touch after today's call. So back to waiting...this sucks. I'm so tired of this process, CSC has gone from processing many cases in 75-80 days just a month or so ago, to where NOT ONE CSC April filer, who sent the petition in April, has gotten thier NOA2 three months later.

Over the past few weeks, CSC has increased their processing times by a few weeks, how is this possible? If you look at the immigration timelines section and sort to just CSC, then by NOA2 date, you will find the first few pages that the span on the page is 6-7 days of NOA2's. If you go back a month or so you find it to be 1-3 days per page, with multiple approvals happening daily. I just don't get it...

Coupled with NVC coming to a grinding halt over the past weeks and my embassy changing from an 18 day interview leadtime to 36 today, I couldn't be happier...So much for the idea she might be here during the summer. I love our country, but as a citizen I find this process unreasonably lengthy and inefficient. I couldn't be more dissapointed that my government is keeping me apart from my love for an undetermined and lengthy period of time, when clearly an entire petition could be adjudicated in one day if done efficiently.

Ok, I'm done ranting, but clearly this process is wearing on me.


Ok almost done ranting...

FYI, according the VJ Immigration Timeline:

K1 Approvals at CSC in June: 47
K1 Approvals at CSC in May: 126

What the heck is going on over there?

You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location." .any suggestion or at less sheering up.thank you so much.


I highly recommend calling your Congressman and getting one of them involved. This application has long passed the point of reasonableness. Your congressman is there to help in these type of cases.

Thanks


Without sounding rude, your process is only just beginning. By the time you get your NOA1 in the mail, which will almost certainly be soon, you will begin a wait unlike any you've likely ever experienced. I strongly suggest not checking your status online from day one, even if you are a VSC filer nowdays, your wait will only consume you even more. If they cashed your check, they have your petition, you have no worries. Your time will come relatively soon. Welcome to the community.

P.S. My advice aside, here is the link you're looking for...

Hi All,

Has anyone here experienced a delay of more than a week between the approval time of your NOA2 and your case arrival at NVC? From what I can see many cases arrive within two days and most arrive within a week. So far my case hasn't arrived at NVC and it has been two weeks since my NOA2 at VSC.

Everytime I ring up NVC they tell me that 2-4 weeks is normal and that it can take up to 90 days. crying.gif

Anyone else experienced this??? I feel like we are lost in some sort of immigration area 51 wacko.gif

We just recieved our K-1 approval but instead of being forwarded to the NVC for final clearance ,it was forwarded to the Indonesian consulate. They have not recieved it yet. My question is has anyone gone this route before. I scanned all these posts and all say it must go to the NVC first.
Please help

I've seen this claim a few times in the last couple days. What leads you to believe that the NVC was bypassed?



It is written in the further instructions section in the lower section of form I-797C

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescalled nvc for status
Did not get any information from the automated system. says no record of that case#.

got a hold of an operator to verify that my documents where in fact recieved on 11-17-08.
Operator says its is going through a 2 to 4 week review and to call back then.

Hope all is going well for everyone in similar situation.

i should have put the NBI clearance certificate

An early interview date may not be a good thing if there isn't enough time alloted for the series of medical shots.
