K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVermont July Filers!

Hello All!

I thought it might be a good idea to start a separate thread for those of us who have their cases collecting dust at good old VSC. While I am tremendously pleased to see so many CSC people getting approved :dance: knowing we still have MONTHS :blink: to go made it hard to see every single day. :(

So....here is a space for us to wait it out together...talk about life, love, share recipes lol...WHATEVER we can do to keep our minds off of the months ahead!

I hope you will join me!! :)

Here's to VSC getting a serious move on things!!

All of our best, Denise & Andrew


Hi! I am july Filer too, and patiently waiting...Good luck to all of us!!! :yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOur progress

Not a huge poster but I thought i'd give a update. I sent in my I-129 packet on July 17th, 2013... I received form I-797C aka NAO1 on July 24th. Then on September 24th I received the NAO2! :) ... Today is now 10/7/13 and I just received a new letter in the mail from NVC. The letter tells me our case was received at NVC and within a week will be forwarded to the US Embassy in Manila and also I have a case number now.... 

 

Just wanted to thank everyone who is a part of this amazing website. Without you all, me and my fiance would have never made it even this far in the visa process. Thank you all and good luck to each one of us who is trying to be with their loved one! :)

Congratulations! would you care to share the questions asked?

 

They asked her where I work, what my salary was, what my favorite tv show was (odd question), and where I went to high school. That's all they asked her :) She told me they were very friendly there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 K-1 Visa Filers

Hey guys! July filer here, have gotten the NA02 and  I have our case # ... Anyway; so I received a letter on OCT 2nd stating that our case will be shipped to the consulate within a week. It's been over 2 weeks now. I've called the manila embassy and they don't have it yet. Is it normal for it to take so long on being shipped?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhy is our NOA2 not arrived?

CSC received our 129F visa application on Nov. 12th, 2010 and we have heard absolutely nothing. Is anyone else waiting this long?


VSC Is slow as well. Its been 188 days for us today(4/26) We wrote our senator called Immigration and still have yet to hear anything, other than its past their usual processing time. Good luck with the wait and I hope you hear something soon

When did you file for your papers? I got a confirmation thru USPS saying that they got my package on friday 7-12 but so far i haven't received any notification from them yet. This waiting process if driving me crazy!!!!

Finally got the RFE we had been expecting!! Tomorrow would have been 7 months! Pretty sure it will be for Fiance Letter of Intent (of course I didn't find the site until after we sent everything in). But my fiancé mailed it last week so it should get here around the same time the RFE comes in the mail. Never thought I would be so excited to get an RFE!

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give a report on our situation. We had our interview June 1st in Vancouver so we avoided the extra cost increase and more importantly we were approved! Iris picked up her Visa 48 hours later and we were home in NC on the 4th of June.
Now shes home finally, and we can relax again! Saving up for AOS fees and getting ready for the wedding now!
Good luck to all and congrats to all those approvals!
Cheers,
Ray and Iris

Congrats to everyone with recent good news!!! I dont post much but love to read and get info here! This is a great place to hang out and have coffee!
Iris and I have our interview date for June 1st at the Vancouver consulate and we are getting so excited. She is at her medical appointment right now. Vancouver issues visas next day after interview so Im really praying 3 weeks from today she will have her visa and be on her way back home with me a few days after that.
Im really glad this nightmare seems to be almost over!!!
Congrats again to everyone and good luck Drew with your interview!

Since every consulate is different, I suggest you make a post on regional Canada forum. There, people will tell you exactly what packets are there for Canadian consulate (I have no idea).

Also, yes, you do need to get a police report from every place you ever lived for longer than 6 months since the age of 16 (1 report for each country lived in, basically)



Ok thanks! And congrats to you BTW!
...so I need to get a police report for myself then? or for my fiance in Canada? or both? Can I just go down to the station by my house and ask them for one?

Wow! This is making me so happy hearing of all these touches and approvals *finally* coming through for us December filers! I hope to get some good news in the next couple of weeks!!!!!!

Question for all you knowledgeable folks... and forgive my ignorance...but no matter how much i search, i keep getting different answers on this. WHAT can I do paperwork wise to get ready for post NOA2 activity? I know about the affidavit of support, ok no problem, simple paperwork to fill out. But what about the medical? And something about a police report?? What is that all about?? I thought they were already doing background checks before they approve anything? Anyhow regardless of all that what can i get ready before my NOA2 to overnight to wherever when the time comes. Like everyone else, this visa stuff has turned my and my fiances lifes into a stress nightmare. She could be losing her place to live and might have to stay with friends until she comes back stateside so anything I can do to speed up an interview date I want to get done.
Also what is p3 and p4? Our consulate is in Vancouver but we might have to do a change of address to Calgary if she loses her place to live.
Thanks in advance and CONGRATS to all those new NOA 2ers!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFBI NAME CHECKS PENDING MORE THAN 6 MONTHS NOW COMPLETED
Given computerization and the ability to flag those that require extra processing I do believe this is a very attainable goal. Like many going through this process we are seeing huge steps made by the USCIS and FBI to get this train moving in the right direction. Citizens and immigrants alike are paying for a service and like everything you are paying for expect a reasonable amount of customer satisfaction. Given the improvements that have been made and no doubt there are more in the pipeline we shall start to see an immigration process that is:-

a/. More streamlined b/. Ensures the integrity of the immigration process c/. Provides a satisfactory service to it's customers

For far too long immigration has been an issue that no one wants to tackle...it's not a vote grabber and indeed can be an extremely contentious issue. We now have an administration in place whom is tackling all these issues irrespective of how contentious or potentially unpopular they are. As you have probably guessed I am a fan of Barrack Obama whom I firmly believe is a doer, who walks the talk and if the US population as a whole is behind him will ultimately achieve some wonderful results not only for the US but also for the world as a whole.

US citizens involved in the immigration process have for far too long have been (apart from a relative few) silent in regards to this cumbersome immigration process and have suffered (many for years) to be estranged from their family members. You indeed have a voice and need to be heard for I know in most instances US citizens are indeed vocal should they be dissatisfied with the service they receive.

Immigration reform is on the cards, for the US has a huge illegal immigration situation that needs to be resolved and quite frankly deportation is not only impractical but is also undesirable. The chaos that would ensue and the economic costs involved would be counter productive.

I spoke to someone the other day who knew of a Mexican illegal immigrant worker on a fruit farm in Florida he was deported for being illegal and then but 10 days later was phoning from Houston inquiring as to whether he could have his job back. The facts are the borders are huge and the cost of policing them are enormous. Putting a huge fence up....well best i don't go there. Securing the US border is indeed a major challenge and I am sure the frustrations of dealing with such huge areas is not easy to say the least.

Personally I feel amnesty is the way forward for it is only by knowing who you have in your country can you more effectively police it. As for the mechanism required I am sure there are plenty of ways in which this could be achieved, the main thing is to have the trust of the current illegal immigrants so that if they turn themselves in they would not be immediately deported.

I know this will possibly upset those of us who strive to do immigration legally and feel that we are indeed persecuted for doing as such. But that doesn't change what is and has been a situation in the US for years. We can feel more secure in our beds that we are not going to have a lady or gentleman from ICE knock on the door and send us packing back to wherever we came from.

I do hope what I wrote here generates some constructive criticism, for it is but a personal opinion and I have been known to be wrong Ha! good.gif

So the long wait is over. We thought VSC passed us by for our 129f. They seemed to have passed us by while processing people even into February. But finally in to days mail, dated 5-18-2009 approval. YAY....
We are on Igor's list, but how do I update timeline? I tried to figure it out but couldn't, so its says we are still waiting and I want others to know that even if they have been waiting, don't give up, eventually they will remember your file.... Took 5 and a half months.....

yaaay! congrats! im from the philippines too, maybe your SO can now call the call center for interview appointment. that's what my friend did when they got the NOA2 even without the letter from Manila US Embassy yet. If only I have known that I can do that even without the letter (I waited for another month for the letter), im probably done this month. anyway, Good luck and God bless!

While there are non-VJ filers (poor souls) and of course not everyone updates their timelines ASAP... This still is VERY VERY unusual.


There was at least one approval last week... an early November filer got approved. It at least gives me hope that may case may not be lost! Please let me get approved next week!!!



How do you guys know that they have no approved any k-1 visas? Is there a link to follow? Or just from postings here?


When people here on VJ update their timelines, it shows on this list "Igor's list" and you can see the last 15 approvals on the top of this page. The link is in my signature but I will include it here for you also. http://www.visajourn...l...=2&sortby=2

Good luck!



Thank you. Best to you, as well. Do you think that we should get letters from family to show that our relationship is genuine?


Personally, I don't think so. Pictures together, your communications (chats, emails, calls, etc.) should be enough. If they want more, they will ask for it. Real love shows, don't worry.

The processing times for Vermont, K1, seem to be decreasing. Hope it stays this way!! But what's wrong with Igor's list!? 10 approvals of VJ members on the 30th of April and then blink.gif silence!! mad.gif Contradiction. wacko.gif
Or can it be that USCIS failing\forgetting\whatever to send e-mail notifications all of a sudden? What the hell.. sad.gif



Last week, it appears that the employees of the VSC were asked to do something different than process K-1 petitions. I had started another thread looking for the same answer as you... There does not seem to be any answer forthcoming. We can only hope that their week of diversion has concluded and they will right start back in processing on Monday. Good Luck!


There is a notice that I read on USCIS website that there is some Immigrant work visa's that had a deadline and it appears that both Cali & Vermont folks have been diverted to handle those to meet some deadline and not working on these for us at the moment. No where did it indicate any date or time to give any idea how long it could be. I am just hoping next week will will see some activity again here. At first I thought maybe there was a problem and people updates just weren't showing up but I tested it by changing something in my own time line and that updated immediately. SO...I believe people are simply not getting any info to update on their time lines right now. Things were starting to move so well and it is frustrating not seeing anything but hopefully soon it will get back to how it was moving. Good luck to all!

Yes, you need all 4 for each of you and All must be signed. You will notice at the bottom of each they are numbered and each go to a different location once they are received and processed. DO NOT leave them out or your packet will not be complete and you will have to do it again. Good luck and read all instructions closely. This should help...
