K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC is finally awake !!

It actually says June 14, but that is wrong too as most people in early June haven't heard. There is actually one person in June saying they sent, got NOA1, RFE, and NOA2 all on the same day (like June 18)..
I'm sure that is throwing things wayyyy off. Check out Igors List.


I have, but I'm not sure I understand how to read it properly. I'm here right now: http://www.visajourn...filers.php?cfl= and it shows someone (David and Kezia)got their first NOA on Sept 1st and their NOA2 on 10-14 from the CSC. How can that be true if they haven't even processed June, July or August? There is another couple as well (Todd and Aiko) who received their NOA1 7-26 and got an NOA2 8-23 when no one was getting approvals.

Finally!!!!! Per VJ timeline CSC is processing July 14, 2010 Yey!!!!


What?! No way. They haven't done most of June yet, why would they jump to July 14th? Gah, this is crazy. Where did you see this?

anyone who has filed before September should hear something this month.


How do you figure? From what I gather they have been touching or approving people in late May/early June in the last few days. If they decide to keep up a regular pace again (and who knows given how inconsistent the CSC has been), they'd still have to get through all of June before getting to July or August filers. I think we're still in for at least a month's wait. Of course anything is possible and I'm hoping you're right, but I don't see how that would happen.

You should come and visit him before the end of November, then we'll meet up and get completely pissed together (I'm in London for a while to do some schooling).


I wish! He just visited me here last week and I can't get back to the UK until New Year's Eve. I'll be there Dec 31-Jan 11.

Don't worry, once my NOA2 comes I will be positive again, in the meantime, eventually you will revert to negativity when everyone else is getting approve and you're not... BWAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAHHHAAAA!!!! (evil laugh)

j/k... I'm just trying to amuse myself.


:lol:

I wish we could all hang out and get drunk while we wait.

In the meantime, my fiance and I met following this band. This song seems very appropriate and always makes me feel better.

HA! Just realized that the USCIS page above shows dates as monthyear (Jun10 is June 2010 for example) on the trend charts. Interesting that there are no numbers for July, August, or September.


Interesting or heart-wrenching?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsany updates on CSC?

Haha well I hope it's mine!

Honestly, I'm not buying the whole 5 month hold thing. Wouldn't that mean they would have waited until November to process June applications? Lots of people got approved in October.


Precisely. I think it's the standard bull they tell callers just to get rid of them and give them unrealistic time frames. You always read posters on here talk about the various lines given to them by the CSC. Just a few weeks ago someone posted that they stated they were on April 23rd applications when we were seeing June approvals.

As long as we keep seeing daily approvals, we have nothing to worry about.

I think most of May has been approved by now. They're working their way through June.

I swear, the day I see a July approval I'm going to cry. It doesn't even have to be mine.

She does seem stressed out. It sucks that she's the US side, if she was in the UK I'd certainly be getting her drunk right now!


:lol: Am I THAT bad?

I've been doing a great deal better, especially after the recent CSC updates. I've been trying to focus on the positives and it's been helping. I'm buying my UK airfare in two weeks after saving for months so that's a relief. I always feel better with airfare squared away. It makes the visit official.

VeraVimes, we must drink together some day. Thank you both for your concern, but I promise I'm not some crazy lady...even if I come across as such on here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsany updates on CSC?
Well yes and no. Sure people that do it illegally get to be with their loved ones, but they have to live underground and in constant fear of being caught as well as not being able to get a decent job. I imagine it would be awful knowing at any minute someone might discover my husband and deport him. I'd much rather do it the official way.

London has a decent turnaround time but with all of these backlogged petitions that might change. It will still be about 2 months between returned packets and interview. I'm just so scared we'll mess something up at the interview stage and have to wait even longer.

I don't even know what to expect anymore. I didn't factor in a 3-4 month stoppage (I didn't know that was possible) when planning my life out. We are still hoping to be married in April, but now I feel like we'll be lucky if he gets approved by April.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsany updates on CSC?
Heh, a hobby. I wish. There is no hobby in the world (well, except Immigration Law I suppose) that could free my mind of this insane process. As if the NOA2 wait isn't bad enough, there is massive potential to mess up the forms or send the wrong thing once the case goes to the embassy. I'm terrified that, months down this horrible line, we are standing at the interview and find out we didn't do something right and have to reschedule it for 2 months later or something.

How long can the CSC possibly go without any action? I just read someone at the VSC who filed June 30th was just approved yesterday. While great for them, it's beyond depressing. I just wish we knew what was going on.

I just wish we had applied two months earlier, maybe we would have escaped this madness. I'm a July filer too, and every week that goes by and I see people in May still waiting I realize I may go well into 2011 without him here. We were hoping for an April wedding, guess the odds of that happening now are slim.

Yep, the wait is pretty horrible. They don't update you either, you just sit in a black hole and wait for a message in a bottle to wash ashore.

This board has helped me cope so much. Make friends here. All of us are like a big support group. My regular friends can't understand how this feels so it's nice to be around those going through the exact same situation.

Be careful what you wish for!!! haha... I can pretty much guarantee your fiance will interview before I've even scheduled my interview in Montreal!! So yes, I admit, it is nice to know we are only 13 days away from calling up CSC in the event of no NoA2.... buuuuttt.... we're in the position of being an unlucky Montreal consulate-er (I should use that word with my students.....) haha.... but, in the end, we'll all get there!
Say you guys get your NoA2 in the next month.... your fiance could still be in the US right after the new year! You have a trip planned around then, correct? it's possible he could even fly back with you after your visit... London is meant to be super fast, only taking a month or so to schedule interviews.... seriously, you could aim for after the new year.


That would be so amazing. We are planning on him arriving in March, then the wedding in April. That's the worst-case scenario. Anything before then would be a dream. I really doubt he'd have a visa in hand by January, but it's a very nice thought. We are preparing all paperwork so he can literally mail everything back to the consulate the day after receiving the packets.

That said, the CSC would actually have to, you know, approve things first.

I'm sorry you have to go through Montreal. That's awful.

Yep, we're all in the same boat. Basically no June filers on VJ have heard anything, so we are in for quite the wait since we're a month behind them. It seems like the CSC has stopped approving K visas in the last months for some reason, they are very slow. I doubt we'll hear anything until November or December at this rate.

Well not yet. We still have to see his GP so they'll fax the results over to the embassy and they still haven't been able to get him an appointment. Hopefully they can schedule it this week so we can move forward.

Thats great gap1. We have to wait until we get the interview date then call to make an appt for the medical. They dont let you do it till you have that date. Which sucks.


That sucks. We were able to get our medical in really early (last week), but we had to obtain additional information from his GP before they'll give him the green light. It's annoying.
