Oh yay!!!! I just talked to NVC, and they told me that our petition was shipped to Nairobi yesterday! Hooray! I am SO relieved that the "additional processing" status on Friday didn't turn out to be a problem.

Everyone still waiting is in my thoughts, and garlicknots, I would totally sign that petition. There has to be a better way.

Congrats! :dance:

What's this?
I'm not visiting the forum for a weekend only to find out that the VSC had a weekend sleepover party?

Congrats all! I'm so happy for you guys, especially for those long waiters and forum cheerleaders!



I kinda get you two. I was just talking about this with Kim. I recently saw some CSC approvals from February, I mean aren't they approving May filers? We were just thinking about how it would suck if you've seen your whole month get approved and got left behind. I'm praying for you two that it won't happen!

It was a plesant surprise for many on Sunday after a disappointing Friday.

I'd be happy to sign it as my NOA1 was 2/9 (2/7 via USCIS) and I'm currently spitting nails over the fact that they have moved forward and left me in the dust (along with about 20 other petitions in the group I'm following). I believe Miss. AAA is still in the same vortex of hell.

Mary :wow: my NOA1 was February 8 one day before you and I had a simple RFE and got my NOA2. You gotta be so close now. Keep your finger nails intact your fiance will appreciate it :devil: Hang in there we are rooting for you and all the others.

Finally got approved!!!! All of the waiting time is worthy. My fiance is on his plane back to US now. Can't wait to tell him the news when he lands in three hours. Checked my email this morning. The approval was made on Aug 17th. Kinda pity that they didn't post it on Friday when he was in China with me, that we can celebrate together. But still very very happy and excited. Thank you all VJers, and Thank you GOD!!!

OK, I apologize for my premature tantrum :innocent:

I got approved on the 6th and NVC received my paperwork 2 days ago. I believe they should have your paperwork by Wed next week the latest.

:wow: NVC now has the VSC slowness. The turtle and the snail.

Well, I just got an RFE. I was certain I wouldn't get one and now I don't know what to do. I already sent in our tickets from two trips to see eachother, receipts for our wedding and engagement rings, 300 some odd love letters, photos with our families.... I mean what else do they even want?!

It might be something silly and simple. Mine was very simple - I did not check off the box regarding my criminal record. I answered it and sent it out right away. At least your application isn't lost and they did look at it.

Officially at the six month mark today at CSC and no word. I thought CSC was supposed to be fast or did they just skip mine. :(

So now it seems that both service centers are slow.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

Nothing more to say about today than depressing.

As for the possibility of the "Dream Act" making our visas take longer, I don't think that's the case - according to my Congressman's assistant. She told me the people filing for the "Dream Act" visas will be going through their local state immigration offices, and VSC wouldn't have anything to do with that. I think VSC moving so slowly has all to do with them just sucking in general.

That is good to know

Am I the only one who is feeling physically ill at how horrible this is right now? I just want to throw up seeing the lack of activity today. I was all 'rah-rah' this morning and now it's off to bed crying again. This just sucks. Sorry - I is all out of cheer and full of jeer. :cry:

I really hope tomorrow is better. I need it to be.

Me too :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

I went through a whole bunch of receipt numbers (About 10,000) and made up a little chart of all the I-129F petitions in excel. (It's helpful to go up by 10's or 20's instead of doing ALL 10,000 numbers LOL) - you just go to uscis.gov and enter from there.
I started with mine, and went up and down from there to come up with all the ones in my range. Then a few other people have shared their numbers with me too. If you like, I can send you some numbers - let me know :)

Pretty cool. I just started checking some and saw a bunch after mine approved.

omg well they seem to be doing pretty good. lets see some more late feb petitions approved. i would loveeee to see more approvals!

the email we are suppose to recieve does it comes immediately after they approve it and is the site updated right after approval
im just curious

Some get the email and others don't. There can be delays on the website updates.

We are approved!!!!!! Oh my the feeling!! I'm still shaking and crying tears of joy!!! So so so happy! I can't believe it! :dance:


Did not expect that after going through all those numbers before today. (Actually it says Aug. 13 but e-mail coming tonight.)
I just checked the e-mail one more time before going to sleep (it's 11.40 pm here) and there it was! Oh joy! Broke down crying! We put my e-mail and my fiances cell phone number,good thing since he actually got a new cell phone number a couple of weeks ago.



I just hope every February filer will experience the same thing ASAP, I know the pain. (L)

We knew we could do this process ourselves, but we had this fear that we may just miss something or do one little thing wrong and mess up the whole process. So in the end we used an attorney. I was just wondering what everyone else did?

I did it myself with the aid of Visajourney.
