K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAppealed & Approved
I had got denied because I didn't include any evidence. So I had to wait 5 months for the denial which was in april, then I appealed with supporting documents. Plus I had to wait 6 months to receive approval. But it was worth it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNotice of appeal I-290B

hello, It will take 6 months or so. I appealed my case, because I didn't put any supporting evidence in my package. I could have refilled, and save 200.00 dollars. As long as you explained your case, you should be ok. goofy.gif

Hello. VJ, Is there anyone out there that can explain to me the procedures of this affadavit? I received this denial because lack of evidence. I can file an appeal, or motion to re-open. The fee is 630.00. Or I can refile I129F and wait another 5 months. Thanks for reading.

Thank you Andie... it probably would have been cheaper for that route. I also fiqured that the wait could possibly be less due to the number of people that do not appeal vs. Refiling . I thank you for your support. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAppeal
Yes.... it was sent without any suppporting docs... it does hurt... I wanted to just get a final decision, then reapply and only pay 340.00, but.. with the supporting docs I just appealed it. I read that the same AO will review my file again with the supported documents added. The time is about the same time frame. But I thank u all for the support and understanding... I. do feel a lil better, but sometimes I just want to pass out. I have had some great help from ROCKS. She is my angel. She helped me all the way to this process. She did not throw dirt in my face, because she had compassion. Even though some people make mistakes, we do not need some people going off about you should have read this and you should have read that. It's a journey, and we all are connected somewhow. Thanks gracenp2.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReviewing Appeal Time.
Hi all.... I would like to know of any success with an Appeal. My K1 was denied because of no evidence included. I recently appealed and sent the supporting evidence. I inquired after 2 months, so, I found out that it would be looked at within the next 60 days or earlier. I am still nervous because even though I met my fiance at work. In Iraq.. we have no pics, because we were on a military base, in which no cameras were allowed. I did have his baby, which he is 5 months now. I however sent my son birth cert. , I am praying for everyone to be with their love one soon. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Good morning... it takes one week for your number. Go to the traveldocs website, and email the DS230 AND APPLICANT STATEMENT. They will then send you packet 4. It may take a week. I was a harasser so.... they probably was tired of me. I was unable to pay for visa. Its best to pay the 240 on the day of the interview. Good luck.

Happy New Year Everyone! (L) I checked New Delhi interview times, and we are not listed for an interview for January. My fiance' have not received packet 3. Should we continue to wait, or should we just send the DS-230, to the Embassy? I know if we would have sent the form right away, we could have been schedule for January. When I call the State Dept. They say, we don't have an interview yet, then i say..., i don't have packet 3 yet...ugh!! I know this isn't the way to start off the New Year, but i want my baby here.. As we all do... Be Bless (F)

Just wanted to post and say we got our case complete at NVC on Monday. Now we're just waiting for our interview to be assigned!

 

Hopefully USCIS picks up the pace and starts approving people, it sucks to see so few approvals on the list. sad.png

 

Congratulations on your NVC case complete status. I hope you get assigned an interview date soon!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Hello fellow April filers,

I have some good news to share just to encourage others out there. Our I-130 petition has been approved ? my husband received an email today saying an approval notice has been mailed to our home address! We are over the moon, feel so very very lucky and thank God for such a speedy process because we know so many out there have been waiting for months on end for their approval - Direct Filing does work faster after all!  smile.png

Interestingly, we did not receive an nao1 notice...maybe because my husband had made an appointment at the embassy to hand deliver it perhaps? We had dead silence for 36 days wondering what in the world was going on, and then the magic email appeared today!

I?m a bit confused by the fact that the email didn?t have a case number or anything on it. I guess that will be on the letter that the local Immigrant Visa Section (apparently it will explain the next steps) is sending us. Will update as we journey on...

Good luck to us all on this journey!

 

Yesterday I posted that we received an email letting us know that our I-130 petition had been approved...today we got an email with packet 3!!! We couldn't believe it because we thought it would be another few weeks before we heard anything from the local consular visa section here.Things seem to warming up now! DCF seriously rocks.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
So my husband went along to the Johannesburg USCIS field office at the South African embassy to submit his petition yesterday and our long wait began. Fortunately he lives here, so we will go through the wait together. :whistle:
Interestingly, the official that received his submission gave him a mini on the spot interview - questions about how we met, when we got engaged, where we got married, why we got married in the US and not here, how many times we saw each/visited other before we got married (as he leafed through his and my passport) what he does for a living, what I do for a living, how long he has lived here, why he lives, why he now wants to go back to the US etc. I should think that after that grilling, they can may as well skip my interview altogether as I think they have all the information they need! :lol:
The official also handed back a few pieces of evidence that we had included as part of our packet. I had pulled the supporting documents together for submission as guided by VJ, and I guess the he felt that he had more than enough evidence and retained what he needed.
All in all, thank you VJ for the extremely useful tips and discussions found on this fantastic website. :thumbs:
Anyway good luck to us all April people! God Bless us all.

PS - I'm sorry if you see this post somewhere else under the IR-1/CR-1 case filing and progress reports forum...I posted it in the wrong section the first time I tried...newbie blues...so embarrassed.
