Oh God, Thank you all for your reply....It means alot whew! Makes me sweat lol.

I know how stressful this procedure is I remember night of non-sleeping because wondering if i did something wrong.... Try to relax you have a long waiting in front of you and you will need all your strength to get throught it, and I'm sure everything will be fine.... USCIS seems to get out of lethargy that is a good news....
Best wishes


No notary, but make sure its signed though :-) Good luck. I know what you mean when you say its makes you sweat - we are all like that. Worried USCIS might see a comma or an apostrophe misplaced and reject the petition wacko.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2!!! oh and a London question!
QUOTE (lilysidiq @ Dec 10 2007, 11:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,

I am so happy I wanted to tell the only people in the World who i know will appreciate it that we were approved today, December 10th ! I am relieved and surprised as I had mentally prepared myself for a 6 month wait just so I would not be disappointed every time I checked the website lol! We filed on July 27th so I think we are about on schedule, but maybe a bit before, so I hope everybody who is waiting gets a nice surprise in their inbox soon! kicking.gif

Just one question for anyone who knows about London. Do I need my police clearance when I return Packet 3 or at the interview? I am still in NYC with Sidiq and have not even applied for it yet. We are off home for Christmas in a week and will do so first thing, but worried I will need it to even set up the interview..I am hoping someone completes my day and tells me I do not need it until interview!

Thanks so much everybody, this forum has made, and will make the whole waiting process so much more tolerable and less lonely!

Lily



CONGRATULATIONS!!!! kicking.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSenators listen to registered voters
QUOTE (babblesgirl @ Jan 18 2008, 10:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
For me the main bones of contention with USCIS are the differing rates of approval at the two service centers, lack of meaningful and comprehensive information about processing dates and inconsistency in approving petitions by received date.


Ditto for me.

I do think calling some Congressmen helps over others. If nothing, calling the Congressman atleast gets attention to your petition and brings it up from a pile of hundreds of other petitions. That is IF the Congressman did anything at all. One has to wonder if USCIS would ever clean its act up? Maybe short term if there was a large influx of complaints but then they will get back to their old habits.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFear of it not working out
Its been almost two months since he moved here and we are living together now. Its not all been rosy I must say because only when you live together, you learn of all the habits you find annoying in your SO and vice versa. The first 2-3 days were great but we fought a whole lot the next 2-3weeks and I almost started questioning myself if we had rushed into it. On my part, I didn't realize that he had just given up a successful career in India, left his entire family, the lifestyle and everyone he knew for me. I am sure he was frustrated. We talked things over trying to figure out why we were fighting so much. I have started to become more patient with him adjusting here and he has started to take my annoying habits in his stride and its really great now!

But first when we was moving here, it was the gut feeling. The gut feeling that told me it will work out. Kudos to you for being honest with yourself. There maybe adjustment issues but give yourselves more than a few weeks before deciding if its good or bad after you have actually started living together. Sounds mushy and all but really its love that matters in the end, with a little bit of practicality, common sense, and compromise ofcourse :-) my two cents.

Has anyone ever tried to contact CSC? USCIS does not know doodly squat about what CSC is doing. So how can you contact them to find out about NOA2 or is that against their rules?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow does a friend from Morocco come to move here and work here

I think he would apply for a work visa. Does he have an employer in the states who wants to hire him?

I have a friend in Morocco who wishes to come to the US to stay and work here. What does that person need to do to apply for a visa and what type visa. Please respond asap.

No he doesn't have an employer to send him here, just my friend that talks to him and he wants to come here and work and try to live here. She said she could send letter of invitation but anyone know what else is involved?

What I would like to know is why is it taking so long for you, when others who have beneficiary's in Morocco have been approved?

Seems like something is not right here. Hope you have good luck with this if you haven't already gotten your approval.

I am also still waiting and received my NOA1 on April 10. I am now over 90 days of waiting.

GOOD LUCK

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F and I=130
I just want to know why I see that some people who filed the I-130 which is petition if you are already married, file an I-129F too. The I-129F is only for people who are not married yet and seeking the k-1 Visa. Right? So if that is the case then why file the I-130 too? I just want to know for the future, cause i have filed petition to him over here which is the I-129F.

Please anyone let me know about this and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to file for the Fiance visa I-129 and I've researched for a long time on how to do it exactly. Is it really neccessary for me to hire an attorney. I've been told different things from different lawyers so now I'm almost intent to do it myself. I have all the information. Has anyone else done this? What problems, if any, did you have? Thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow hard is it to get a subpeona for phone records?
No i haven't filed yet. Probably in a week or two depending on when i get my fiance's forms in the mail. I didn't know if the phone records were something that should be sent with my initial packet or something that i should get only if they send me an RFE requesting them. If they're not important i won't worry about them. I'm just trying to get as much evidence as i can just in case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow hard is it to get a subpeona for phone records?
I called AT&T and asked for the phone records for my calling card. On my cell and land line phone records it only shows the calling card number on the bills, it doesn't even say international call. So the phone company told me to contact the long distance provider, so i called AT&T. They said they would need a subpeona to release those records to me. Where do I get one and how long will it take?

After all i've read at VJ they seem almost like official definitions and I take them seriously, believe me. I just meant that for a second i didn't even laugh because i thought "oh my god", but then i realized okay these are definitions by real people who are just putting them into simple terms for people like me, and they're supposed to be funny, haha. I'm just glad someone can put all of this into simpler terms.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
Thanks vernouil, it's reassuring to know there are good customs officers out there. We did have to change his flight so he will be entering the US on April 10th and his return is July 7th. If anyone has made this trip from London to North Carolina while your K-1 was being processed I'd like to hear about your experience. I haven't heard of anyone using Charlotte as a POE so I guess we're just not as popular . :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
No, unfortunately since his job will be ending this year they aren't very strict with him. Most of the time he works when there is work, it's very believable that when he comes in march he says that he's going to try to stay for 2 or 3 months unless work calls him back. And they will let him come back to work in July and he'll work part time until we get accepted. My job isn't as flexible, and i have more bills than he does so i can't do without the money for 2 months. There's just no easy way to do this.
blspicerFemaleEngland2007-02-02 13:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
Even if he does get into the country, when he goes back and goes to his interview and they ask to see his passport its going to be stamped with the march date. Will they say something to him in the interview like, "did you enter the USA while your fiance visa was in process"? Or is that any concern of their's since he is trying to get accepted to immigrate?
blspicerFemaleEngland2007-02-02 12:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
He got his passport in 2005 i think so its not very new. So the only way they would know is if they looked him up i assume. We're not exchanging any rings until we get married so there's not gonna be any jewelry with him. I flew into Gatwick in september of 2006 and when they asked me why i was there i said "to see my boyfriend". He then asked me if I'd ever met my boyfriend and i said yes. He asked how long i would be staying in the UK and i said 2 weeks. He did ask how we met and i told him honestly "on an internet chat room". He just looked at me like "oh my god how sad", and let me through, haha. But it makes it so much scarier when you actually are engaged i know. I wish i could do it for him but i can't, we'll just have practice him keeping his cool, and being as truthful as possible without telling the whole truth. Good Luck TimsDaisy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
He will be flying from Gatwick to Charlotte NC. He's been here twice in the past year and had no problems. Unfortunately he doesn't have much documentation. He lives with his mom and sister so he has no rent agreement. He can get a letter from his employer and bring a bank statement, but as for anything else I don't know. Any more ideas on what he could bring?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my fiance enter the US if his fiance visa is being processed?
I am going to file the Fiance Visa forms on February 14th. My fiance, who is english and on the visa waiver program, wants to come over for a visit in March and stay for about 2 months. Will this cause problems and will they even let him into the country. I've asked two different attorneys and i've received two different answers. He will return to England probably before the visa is accepted but I didn't want them to deny him entry in March after we've payed for the plane ticket. If anyone has any idea please let me know. Thanks.
