well i called and the agent said the one with the cancelled check will be just be rejected. Each application is treated as a separate case. So now I am just hoping it goes as she said. And that I will receive my NOA1 hopefully next week.

Hi everyone, I sent my packet AGAIN Jan 5 due to USPS losing my packet :bonk: the first time I sent on Dec. 29. And now they called me to tell me my first packet has also just arrived in Lewisville. Leaving me with 2 packets at the lockbox. One with a cancelled check and another in good standing. I dont know what to do now!! :crying: Now :ot2: I wish everyone the best of luck.

Congrats on all recent approvals... Those of you waitin on approvals when u call ask to speak to a tier 2 officer they have more access to information in their system they can go into your file and see what exactly is holding up your case. They are much more helpful... Hope it helps!!!

On another note waiting upon the arrival of hurricane Sandy NYC is completely shut down :-(

No, it is not just you! I was going insane and so was my fiancee. Even knowing I had a week before reaching the 6 months mark, after 5, I was starting to unravel. I lost all motivation to do any of my daily obligations. Hang in there! I know you probably feel that it is so close you could taste it at this point, and it more than likely is!

I received the NOA2 letter today.

NOA2 text: 10/10/12
NOA2 letter: 10/15/12

They didn't waste any time getting it in the mail, and USPS was obviously on top of their game as well. Very fast to my surprise!

Whats this igor list? Whats my expected date according to this list? April 17 noa1 date??

Time will be here by the time you know it, i think October is VSC April filer's month, by the looks of it they are starting with the early filers first, hopefully by the time you know it your day will be here. I waited 181 days for my NOA2 6 months exactly. I have all you others in my prayers on getting these approvals going! When you get that NOA2, a huge burden will be lifted from your shoulders and the worst part of waiting will be over!! Posted Image i cried like a little baby this morning all happy tears! :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsChanging Beneficiary's contact to WORK Address at the NVC
Hi all,

A little advice/guidance/suggestion needed...

Currently, my K-1 paperwork is at the NVC awaiting to be processed and then shipped to the US consulate in Vietnam. My fiancee is in the midst of changing her home address but is not sure yet. So I just called up the NVC this morning and updated her home address to her work address. They said that they have never done this before and don't know if this will be an issue at the US Consulate in Vietnam, but they will try it. (For those that does not know, this process is to ensure proper delivery of Packet 3 and/or 4 for pre-interview procedures)

1 - Have anyone ever used their fiancee's work address as the contact address? If so, were there any issues?
2 - Based on any prior experience with the US Consulate in Vietnam, do you think there would be any problems with them shipping any necessary documents to a work address?
3 - Any comments?

Any assistance is much appreciated in advance.

THANKS!
MIKE

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsForgot to take second set of vaccinations

thanks for the prompt reply... been reading tons on the vietnam forum... however, I still have not gotten any definite answers for either questions..... cray5ol.gif


MrJetzMaleVietnam2013-08-12 11:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsForgot to take second set of vaccinations

So here's the story....

 

My fiancee got her first set of vaccinations a month ago.... scheduled to come back today to get her second set....

 

However, she totally forgot... (we got our k-1 visa approval last friday, was too happy, and we just ended up remembering about her second set of vaccinations today)

 

Thus, she will go early tomorrow morning to try to get her second vaccinations. Please let me know

1 - if they will give her a hard time for being 1 day late?

2 - if this will postpone her receiving the VISA within 2 weeks?

 

Thanks all

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPlane tickets before visa in hand

oh, thanks for the info!

 

However, she lives alone in the city, and she works... luckily, i have her placed at a hotel, so the receptionist can accept the paperwork....

 

she has been there for a while, and I stay there whenever i visit.... she received her packet 3 thru them, so I believe they are pretty reliable....

MrJetzMaleVietnam2013-08-14 08:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPlane tickets before visa in hand

Hi all,

 

My fiance just completed and passed her interview last week, Friday, August 9th. Thus, in the natural order of things, I started researching plane tickets. In the process, I found out that there was only a few seats left on the plane I was looking at for the way back. Due to work conflicts and scheduling, I have a very short window to take time off and travel to Vietnam to pick up my fiance. So I bought the tickets right then and there.

 

I also did research on the Vietnam timelines on this forum and saw that the average period to receive the visa is two weeks after the interview approval.

 

Nonetheless, I am nervous that I made the decision to buy the plane tickets before the actual visa in hand.

 

Questions:

1 - Should I be nervous? Is there a high probability that the visa will not arrive within 1 month's time frame? (I scheduled her flight to be the end of September.... that leaves her more then 1.5 month to obtain the visa)

2 - Has anyone been through any scenario where they did not receive the visa after an approved interview?

 

Thanks all!
