K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November 2010 K1 filers	It was pretty interesting. I do not check CIS (Vermont)for updates very often, perhaps once or twice a month at most. I found it way too frustrating to never see any changes. One touch a few weeks after delivery and that was it. So I was totally surprised after checking on the 18th and seeing NO update, to then wake on the 19th and see an email with our approval. Just under the 5 month threshold. Hopefully they are pushing to meet commitment times for everyone out there; my hopes are with you all. I know this waiting really SUC@S.	greg584	Male	Hong Kong	2011-04-20 12:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Create a VJ timeline to track your case and get estimated approval dates :)	QUOTE (rupa @ Jan 28 2008, 06:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you get an estimated approval date from the VJ timelines? Sorry, this may be a dumb question. I had assumed that the estimates were based on further input from the members here. As members update their time lines I thought the estimated times would reflect the new input. But I know, the old joke. One should never assume, you make an ####### out of you and me...as%-u-me. Meaning ME! That was the reason for a more accurate estimate, the more input the better the output. Estimates are just that though. Greg	greg584	Male	Hong Kong	2009-02-27 17:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K1 Visa Approved!!!	QUOTE (Erika&Justin @ Apr 15 2008, 02:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Erika and I got our approval at the US embassy in Lima today!! Other than electrifying my nerves with a death stare when she saw that my previous passport was mutilated (it went through the wash last year) and replaced, our interviewer was very cordial and friendly, telling us stories from days of yorn and about her experiences. We spent about two hours at the embassy and other than the required documents, we were only asked for pictures and emails, which were both reviewed by the interviewer and we had to answer some simple questions about them. We also had to answer questions about how we met, but those are a piece of cake, right?? So, we are very excited and Erika is excited to be coming to New York with me for her 29th birthday this Friday! Thanks for all the help in the past! Amen! I am sooooo happy for you guys. Tell my girl happy birthday!	Gringita/Morenito	Female	Peru	2008-04-16 20:47:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November Filers	QUOTE (rony @ Feb 12 2008, 01:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey guys! Could anyone tell us how we can know that our approval has been sent to NVC and then that NVC send it to the embassy? You can call NVC at 603-334-0700, 1, 5 or email at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov Make sure you talk to someone because K1's are not entered into the automated system.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November Filers	QUOTE (Mr. Grey @ Feb 7 2008, 04:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm getting all excited, too ! We sent our package on 11/28, and the NOA1 is dated 12/03. Hopefully somewhen in February or March ... I am putting more hope in March (though it could be April). Of course I too check everyday hoping for February....but at this point it's still stretching it a little.. There have been a couple of Nov. filers with NOA2 but it still seems so isolated. The October filers are pouring in though....and thats just cool!! QUOTE (afroamerapole @ Feb 7 2008, 02:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Rony , My NOA1 is on the 15th of November aswell and I too have not had any touches or updates. I am sure everything is fine but it would be great to get some feed back from any one who has any knowledge or experience with no touches or updates. Any body out that who can speak on this???? Would love to hear from you!!! Much speed to us all I would venture to say most filers don't get touches. Some get them for no apparent reason, others right before something is sent out.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November Filers	QUOTE (rony @ Feb 7 2008, 12:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey November filers, We are also November files. We filed our K1 petition package to VSC on 9 November and NOA 1 recieved on 15 November. I keep checking our status online but there is no update and no touches at all!! I got to tell you I start feeling worried! My question, is that normal?! Anyone has any idea?! Thanks! Oh one more thing, congrats to our November fellow for the NOA1. You make all of us excited now! Still normal but we are getting closer....I would bet in March sometime....(rough guess) And touched could be anything...a pending approval, a pending RFE, a person moving the file...truely no way to tell....

Wow, all this new news for December filers is pretty exciting stuff! I just checked our case status online and the date changed! All that changed though was the date... when I checked the actual info, it still had just the "On Dec. 27th, we received..." blah blah blah. Basically it still had the info that they sent off the NOA1... Does anybody else's say the same thing? Hmmmm thats exactly what happened to me.......about 2 hours before I got the approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited I know you guys are very close, Buena suerte!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Sent directly to the US embassy, is that normal??	Mine was not directly forwarded but by the time I had an NVC case number which I tried calling to get it had already been shipped to Kazakhstan across the world. It arrived at the embassy only 7 days after NOA2. The NVC sent me a letter 4 weeks later stating the same. It went through the NVC in only 3 days from NOA2. Sometimes I don't know why some cases seem to fly through the NVC and others don't. Its not fair to anyone and especially those who have been waiting so long. Call the embassy and get them looking for it. They are usually very nice to deal with. Good luck!! Keep us posted.	djaedi	Male	Kazakhstan	2008-04-15 17:15:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Where is the "black hole" between CSC and NVC???	QUOTE (Lancep @ Apr 8 2008, 03:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I finally got a meaningful call from the CSC after calling the emergency line once again. The woman was extremely nice and said that my file is indeed still there. She said that I am the most persistent human being she has ever seen (hey, I'm an attorney!) and that I have attacked this from so many angles that the file has bounced all over the place during the past few weeks as they try to respond to all of the inquiries. But she did say it is approved and that she is sending an e-mail that it must go to the NVC ASAP. She had a convoluted explanation as to why it is still there – things get shuffled to the wrong officer’s desk, what is called the CSC is not all one building, things get put into the wrong crate for shipping, etc., etc. She did say that this problem is not all that unusual, and my Congressman's office said they have heard the same thing about multiple inquiries actually causing delays. It appears to me that whatever I’ve managed to accomplish with this has been done on my own – I don’t think my Congressman efforts carried near as much weight as me bugging the CIS Ombudsman to death, calling the Director of the NVC, and leaving repeated messages on the CSC emergency line. WOW man, I am so happy to hear at least they found it. I know its not good news that its still there but at least you can take some satifaction that it is found. Honestly I think they will rush it now and I believe what you did and all you did has made it happen. Way to be persistant. You did it Lance. I hope things get moving quickly for you now. Did your embassy say anything about emailing you packet 3 docs when they receive the case? Wasn't sure if you had asked them about that. It may save you more time in waiting for snail mail. The embassy in Kazakhstan emailed us both Packet 3 docs and an interview appointment for 13 days later. It went fast and my girl will be here on the 21st of April. The lady at the embassy said email saved us 3 to 5 weeks of waiting on the mail. Just a thought since you had to wait so long already. Take care and keep in touch with the progress.	djaedi	Male	Kazakhstan	2008-04-08 17:07:00
