K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NOA2! (On a SUNDAY?!?!)	Oh man, I have had one heck of a weekend!! For the last few weeks, on Fridays especially, I've started getting REALLY down. This weekend was probably the worst of it. I actually had a full blown panic attack earlier today. So I came home and I was talking to my fiance, Tom, about it, while he was on break at work. And I hung up and asked him to call my mom and tell her what happened so that I didn't have to. So 10 minutes later, I hear my phone ring, figuring it was my mom, but it was actually Tom, and he just said "WE GOT IT" and I was silent. And then I was like "That's not funny." and he goes... "No, I'm not *!@ting you. I just got off the phone with your mother, and I checked my email... and we got it" And I immediately went to the website and checked our case number, and I was like, shaking and crying and freaking out. Holy #######. I can't even believe it. I swear it was just USCIS playing tricks on me, wanting to see how far they could push me until I absolutely broke. LOL. Seriously... we were "officially" approved as of Friday, and I went through SOOOO much drama between Friday and today, mostly because of my insanely melodramatic moods. That's just karma kicking me in the butt for something I must've done wrong at some point That is a fantastic good news on Sunday .... CONGRATULATIONS...	GonYet	Male	Ecuador	2012-08-20 06:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Case Updated after 196 days waiting for NOA2	Blue sheet on top, another 3 Month. Seriously? 3 more months?	GonYet	Male	Ecuador	2012-08-21 15:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Case Updated after 196 days waiting for NOA2	When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case. Very good advice Thanks a lot for that I will keep it in mind...	GonYet	Male	Ecuador	2012-08-21 13:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	rain, rain, rain,	i understand V S C is now stepping up after 20th FEB.files, (: as from now i will be at the bus station most of the times waiting for mr. NOA2 i believe he is on the way to see me in ma happy mood i pray for all FEB.members hopefully ready to receive Mr. NOA2 HE IS ALMOST HERE Well I notice that VSC are reviewing around second week February fillers, but my NOA1 date is from 02/08/12 and I was thinking that the reason why mine is taken looonger than the other ones is because the K1 peticion for my fiance include her kids and that maybe makes looonger the approvment, any ways I will keep crossing my fingers and I hope this week maybe I will receive the good news ... and of course I hope yours receive the approuve soon.

Long story, and I'd rather not go in to it, but I just wanted to stop by on my way out to say a big thank you to those of you who have been a huge help during this K-1 process so far. I really appreciate your support and prayers, and your honesty with some direct answers to questions that I've had in the past. I wish you all the best of luck as you continue with your journeys, and you will be in my prayers. Love you guys! Thanks again! Ezekiel Frazer Chester Best wishes ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Starting to loose my control now!	[quote name='tmarie838' timestamp='1344883300' post='5607647'] I know it can be very frustrating, but just be patient. You'll hear something soon. If you look at what's been coming out of the VSC in the last few days, a lot of people who filed at the end of February are getting approved now. Hang in there, you're getting close! I am a early February filler (NOA1 received on 02/08/12) to Vermont and as today I am still waiting for NOA2 (188 days) so you miust be patient. For Vermont as I undestand is more than 6 months now because that office is very low...Just wait at least 2 more months.	GonYet	Male	Ecuador	2012-08-13 15:58:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	190+ Vermont Service Center	I am calling this number tomorrow, and I am asking for Mr. Gregg himself. There is no need to rake a receptionist over the coals...go straight to the man in charge. Also, I called our normally disappointing number again today (the customer service one) and asked for a Tier 2 person...I think that the Tier 2 was more rude and less helpful than the first level people. She gave me the same bs about working on Jan 16 applications and no expedited requests could be done. EVERYBODY START CALLING THE VERMONT SERVICE CENTER. Don't worry about getting them angry..don't even give them your information about which petition is yours...just complain about the time and lack of communication and get into them a little bit. You know you're rigth we have to call them... every person with more than 180 days must call ...but wait wait, probably if to many people call them then no one will be able to process our paperwork...lol	GonYet	Male	Ecuador	2012-08-15 15:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	190+ Vermont Service Center	Do you try sending them letters or anything? That's seems very excessive but I'm at the beginning of my wait. Other than politicians who oversees the office? I might have to get pro active once I get my number to make sure I'm not here in 190 days asking the same question. They always say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, I've lived that motto and it hasn't hurt my life. Nop. I will wait this week and the next one to star to calling to VSC I undesrtand that they are very low, I will wait. but any ways if you get the approval before me I will start to cry my friend lol ... just kidding I will be so happy for you and I will be very very happy if they give me the approval today or soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	vermont processing petition	So I have been regularly watching the timelines and processing times for K-1 visas and it seems the California is chugging along nicely and working on May/June now, meanwhile Vermont is still stalled in February. I can imagine that this is stressing out a lot of people. I was thinking that if we collectively sent a petition to request that applications be distributed so that they have a fair shot at being processed in a reasonable time frame (i.e. less than 5 months) that might be more effective then sending individual letters to congressmen/women. Has anything like this ever been done? Would many of you be willing to sign a petition to this effect? I will be able to do it... sing me up as well..... Edited by GonYet, 20 August 2012 - 09:58 AM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interview Experience at the US Embassy Manila, August 14, 2012	I would like to share my K1 Visa Experience at the US Embassy Manila even my Fiance did not meet the Federal Poverty Guidelines Last Year. He only got $13,xxx and we passed. 3am - I woke up so early even my interview was at 7:30am. (I did that because I thought that the first to arrive will be serve first but I was wrong because you will be allowed to enter at least an hour prior to your interview.) But I did not arrive early because I looked for an open printing shop to print out the latest pay stub of my Fiance. 5:30 am- I arrived at the Roxas Boulevard. Many people are already waiting outside the US Embassy and the Applicants with 6:30 am appointment were entering the gate. There was a drizzle that time and I'm wearing a corporate attire but actually, you don't need. (Even a casual attire is allowed at the embassy.) The vendors helped the applicants on what to bring inside the embassy. I gave my staple to one of them but I forgot to give my scissors. Even cologne spray and alcohol is not allowed inside. I also got a problem with the musical card that my fiance gave to me. It's allowed, however , batteries should be removed to avoid delay because it is being detected by the Xray upon entering the embassy. At around 6:30 am, applicants with interview time of 7:30 were asked to fall in line before entering the gate of the embassy. When I entered the security check, the machine alarmed. I was wondering why because, as far as I know, I removed all the prohibited things prior to entering the embassy. I was surprised because the female guard told me to remove the battery of my 2 musical cards. I thought that she wants me to throw them away. Then she told me that only the batteries must be removed because those cards were my evidences. I threw my scissors as well. I got number 6118. upon entering the building, we were asked to place the appointment letter/ confirmation to Window 39. Then afterwards, I was called again to the same window and gave all my Visa Application forms or the DS-156, DS-157, and DS-156K. I return to waiting area after that. About an hour when my number appeared in the Q-board for Window 43. I had my Finger Print Scan there. The women in that Window is nice. I was just asked about my name and Date of Birth. After more than 1 and a half hour, my number appeared again in the Q-board for Window 46. A young Filipino Consul was there that seemed in his late 20's. He was serious. I smiled at him but still, he remain serious. He asked me to Complete My DS-156, on number 37, (Status of my Relatives in the US because I only crossed-out my fiance's status). Then, he told me to write my Fiance's name and I signed the DS-156K. After that, he asked me the following questions. He also asked me about the NBI Clearance, CENOMAR, Birth Certificate and the Affidavit of Support of my Fiance. I was really nervous about the affidavit of support of my Fiance because last year, he only got more than $13, 000 which was below the Poverty Guidelines. He just included in the form I-134 his savings of $2000, and his car as his property with the amount of $4000. The Supporting documents were his W-2, ITR form, his latest pay stubs (6), Employment Letter (He got a new job last September 2011 and he expected to earn aroung $18,000 at the end of 2012) Bank Statements, the form of his car, and explanation letter/email why his salary was low last year. (I was prepared about the Co-sponsor it was not asked by the Filipino consul that's why I just present it to the American Consul.) When the Filipino consul saw that he had low income last year, he seemed to frown even more and he wrote it in the form. Then he asked me what's my name, my Date of Birth, My Petitioner's name, and what does he do for a living. I answered all of his questions with a smile and confidence. I told him that my fiance and I have known each other since we were young because our families are friends. He clarified if we are childhood friend but I answered him "NO" because he is older than me and there was conflict of interest when we were young until we meet again after more than 8 years. Then he browsed my DS forms and saw that I'm a nurse. "so you are a nurse". I answered him "Yes, Sir". After that, He asked me if my fiance was married before. I told him "No Sir, I'm his first, and he is my first boyfriend as well." He smiled lightly and asked if i am sure about that. I told him yes because his family says that. After that, he told me to return to my sit because he have no questions to ask anymore. He also said that he was sure that I have pictures and just show them to the American Consul. I was really nervous and really afraid that I might fail this interview but still, I'm excited to be interviewed by the American consul. 9:45am - I sat again and waited for my number to be called for American Consul's Interview. After 2 hours, all applicants that were not called was asked to have their lunch. We went back at 1 pm. I waited for more than 1 hour again. at around 2:15pm, my number flashed to Window 62. I'm a bit nervous but still in my senses. The Consul I think was a Chinese-American man. He speaks in good English that can be understand easily. He told me to promise to tell the truth and I said Yes. He asked my name, My Fiance name, Date of Birth, the City where my Fiance live, how did we meet, and how did we meet again within two years. Actually, with my confidence, I also told him the information which were not asked.(hehe)He did not asked about our proof of Genuine Relationship, even our pictures because he just looked to the pictures that my Fiance sent along with the I-29f Petition. When he was finished asking, he told me to return to my sit and wait to be called to the last. Then he asked me if I'm willing to marry my fiance within 90 days in the US and with full of conviction, I told him "Yes Sir, I swear". I was shaking when I offered the I-134 form of the brother-in-law- of my Fiance. He saw that they are living at the same house and he accepted it. He didn't told me if I was approved or not until I was called to Window 72 and the the man in the Window told me to go home because my Visa will be delivered. I asked him if I'm already approved and he checked it on the system. He said to me Yes because my Visa was already issued and will be delivered to my address.. I'm so happy to hear that but I still don't want to be relaxed until my visa is already delivered. As of now I'm still waiting for it. Thank You Lord for guiding us and for allowing me to pass the Interview. It's all because of you Lord. We love you. ** The best weapon in this interview is to be over prepared. Bring everything you can that is pertinent to the interview even if will not be asked because it's better to be over prepared than to be under prepared. God Bless us all. I know it's just a beginning. Hello and thanks for share with us your good experience with the interview at the Embassy, I personally think the best advice that you made is to be ready and prepared bringing all the documents related to the relationship just in case they ask you for anything and show them that you were ready for any situation like that as you said it's better to be over prepared than to be under prepared. .
