K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 filers

Hello everyone,

I just recieved my NOA-2 hardcopy in the mail on 2-20-10. They sent me the approved email and text on 2-12-10. The actual paper says approval was on 2-11-10.

I am happy things are moving even if they are slow. Now I guess its another wait for NVC to pass it along to the embassy.

I remember a guy tracking the package being sent to the embassy through DHL. He gave this link http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef

The visa journey link to understand the process is http://www.visajourn...howtopic=194465

I hope everyone has complete success soon.

good to go.move vsc

Anyway...we wait...In the mean time, I am headed back down to Costa Rica for another visit next week and bringing more ongoing proof.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 filers

I wish I could answer that. There really seems to be no patterns or consistencies. My own personal theory is that VSC has redirected much of their staff to process forms different from I-129fs. Which ones, why, and for how long, I wish I knew. Unfortunately there are still Many October cases still pending before we Nov filers. Maybe if you imagine of 10 people processing cases, and they take 8 away to file I821 forms (EAC1007950009). Well assume the 2 remaining will work all the cases in their stack from bottom to top. Then you would have Dec, Nov filers being processed, before October filers in the stacks of the other 8 workers. Guessing.


so will just have to wait and wait..it really sucks.

Hi. I just sent our I-129F off today and thought I'd kick it off for the November crowd. My fiance left the US and I'm already going crazy waiting for him to be back here, but it sounds like I've got to get used to the idea of being a bit lonely for several months yet.
Any other November filers to commiserate or be hopeful with?


please i really dont understand why they are not treating the cases likethey use to.when i check the processing time i see that they skip some days and move forward instead of going accordinly fromday to day..what is wrong with them this november..my Noa1 came in on november 9 and i see then processing november 18,20 and the rest..whats going on

Yes, if you married less than 2 years, you will receive the green card for 2 years and you need to remove the condition after 1 year and 9 months. You can send and application 90 days before 2 years.

hello,
pls i want to ask what is the procedure of having a 10 yrs green card apart from from apply applying for the removal of condtion. i read it in the uscis website that any marriage that is less than 2 yrs will received a 10 yrs green card. pls i want to confirm how far is that true. and i need an advise from people that have there 10 yrs green, without applyin for the condtion of removal 1-751 form. pls hope to hear from you.

If you are a CR and married for MORE than 2 years when you arrive at POE you will receive a 10 year GC,



Some of you may be CONDITIONAL RESIDENTS. This page applies equally to you while you are in conditional resident status. The difference between you and an unconditioned permanent resident is that your permanent resident status will expire in two years from when it was given, unless you successfully petition to have the condition removed. Those of you with conditional permanent residence either received your residence through a marriage relationship where the marriage was less than two years old at the time you became a Permanent Resident, or you received that status through an investment as an employment creation immigrant (EB-5). If you successfully petition for removal of the condition on your immigration status, this page will still apply to you as a Permanent Resident.

Permanent Resident Card
The Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, is issued to all Permanent Residents as evidence of alien registration and their permanent status in the US. The card must be in your possession at all times. This requirement means that you are not only required to have a currently valid Form I-551 at all times, but also that you must carry your currently valid Form I-551 on your person at all times. The Permanent Resident Card currently is issued with a 10-year validity. You status as a Permanent Resident does not expire with the 10-year validity. Only the card expires. The card is only valid up to the expiration date and must be renewed before it expires


i got this information from uscis website.

and of course, just as i feared, the middle initial is wrong!!! now what.. i guess i'm gonna have to call USCIS again monday..

question: on his SSC, it didn't have his middle name or his suffix of the third (III). is this going to make a difference? should we correct this? but then everything should match, shouldn't it?


Wow, i am so happy for you and i am praying that i have mine by next week so that i can start doing something about my life plan. so i congratulate you.

in my understanding, your visa (if you entered on an immigrant visa) should serve as a "temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year." this is what i am reading on my husband's visa that is stamped in his passport. also, the immigration officer at the POE stamped his passport with the arrival date, class of CR1 and the date of when his conditional residence would expire. the officer also wrote down his "A" number on the passport.

so, since you already have your SSN, go ahead and apply for jobs, open a bank account, etc. you don't need a welcome letter or the physical green card right now as the I-551 is valid for 1 year from the date of your entry..

somebody pls correct me if i'm wrong.. but this is how i understand it..



YEAH,
YOU ARE RIGHT AND I AM VERY MUCH CONCERN ABOUT MY CASE NOW COS IT IS GETTING TO A MONTH NOW WHEN I ARRIVED THE STATES AND I HAVE RECEIVED MY WELLCOME LETTER BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHIN FROM SSN....I WANTED TO GO TO SSN OFFICE BY MONDAY AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION FOR ME FROM THERE. PLS ANYBODY WITH ANY USEFUL INFORMATION WILL BE HIGHLY APPERCIATED.... SO GET BACK TO ME AND ADVISE.


galaxy, if you applied for SSN through visa application (DS-230) and you do not get your SS card within three weeks after your POE, go to your local office, and check face to face what is going on. I do not think it is possible to check your SSN online via home computer. If they do not find you in the system (my case, but now I am thinking if they even typed my last name correctly cos I have 2), you can apply for SSN there, but make sure you have your immigrant visa and your birth certificate with you, preferably in English.

Good luck!



HELLO,
TKS FOR THE GOOD ADVISED I ARRIVED THE UNITED STATES ON 18TH OF NOV, YET I AM STILL LOOKING OUT TO HAVE MY SSN. SO I WILL DISCUSS IT WITH MY WIFE AND I WILL NEED TO VISIT SSN OFFICE ON MONDAY. PLS TELL ANY OTHER THINGS THAT I MAY NEED TO TAKE ALONG WITH ME AGAIN SO THAT I DONT MISS ANYTHING WHILE GOING THERE.

Hello adejumo, If im not mistaken dear I know ur wife as well as am member of the nigerian group you just joined. I wanted to talk with you on this subject as I know this is of concern to you. There have been members in our group dear that were denied because of the age difference but you are 39 and ur wife is 53 and the ones in the group that had an age difference that has issues is a 22 yr age difference between the two of them and her husband is a young boy compared to her and I really feel that has a huge difference on their particular case. See you are in in your late thirties and the couple in the group that got denied is in his mid twenties. There is a difference in maturity from a boy in his mid 20's versus a man in his late 30's so what im telling you is that as long as you have all of your documenttation prepared and organized meticulously you should be fine. We did have a member in our group that had an 11 yr age difference that did not have any problems going through this process so dont worry yourself to much on this ok. Take heart that God will follow things thru and you will be with your wife soon. Please dont hesitate to contact me through this or even through the group. I do talk to your wife as well so just hang in there ok..Take care of yourself and all will be fine! Mrs Anukem
