Hello

just question
why in Igor's list still showing the date as 04/23/09 ?

Still waiting for NOA2 from VSC K-1 I-129F within the VSC processing time (2009-04-23):

You're looking at the older version of Igor's List, the one hosted at Berkeley. It pulls (pulled) the processing times from a page on the USCIS website that no longer works (it was removed when they launched the new website in late September).

Congratulations on getting this far—but don't get too excited just yet. USCIS considers the target processing time for I-129F petitions to be 5 months. While it often doesn't take that long, it's not considered to be "overdue" until 5 months have passed.

What you can do now: view the cashed check on your bank's website when the image becomes available, and find the number that starts with WAC. It's usually on the back of the check, but recently some have been printed on the front. This is your I-129F receipt number. You can use it to check your case status on the USCIS website and register for email/SMS status updates.

Another great thing to do: timeline.gif - http://www.visajourn...eline/intro.php - This will allow you to get estimates from VJ on the actual processing time to expect based on other users' timelines, and will in turn help VJ to give more accurate estimates to you and everyone else.

I just cracked 100, at least on the berkley Igor list....

What number were some of you the last time you checked before you got your noa2?


does anyone know how people move up and down in the list? on what basis?


If a new timeline is entered with an NOA1 date earlier than yours, you move down. If someone before you on the list gets NOA2, you move up.

Good morning April...

Suzie, i'm glad things are going so well for you and luis and the kids. smile.gif

Jill, have a wonderful wedding. congratulations to you both!

So nice to see you Megan, thanks for checking in. Please do keep us posted. Thinking of you guys lots!

Thank you Raff, We do have quite a diverse group here but I've run my own board for a decade now so I think it'll be just fine. You're very right, there is no need for nonsense here ...all of this is stressfull enough on those of us that use these forums. I'm flattered they'd ask and i'll do my best. smile.gif

We are still flying pretty high over here. The weather is getting cooler but the trees are just breathtaking! We're still procrastinating on the AOS stuff. I have all the papers right here next to me and that's suppose to be what i'm doing... whistling.gif Anyway, we're off to Maine for another Halloween party tonight but i'll check in tomorrow. Hope you are all doing well and being happy!!!



Hi all,
Congratulation to all of you that are now in the US, and all the best for everything smile.gif It's good to read you it gives me the feeling that we will eventually make it too!!
I guess Kai&I are really the non-lucky April filers though! Before I moved back from Niger to France we did ask the vermont center to change my address so the case goes to the Paris consulate and they did say it was ok. However it seems like they gave the Niger address to the NVC, who logically sent our case there..
We then called Niger, asked them to transfer and thought they had, till we found out recently they hadn't. The consulate in Niger was very non professional plus very defensive agressive with me on the phone. I got the consul herself who just kept repeting "this is not an overnight process".. I was like "I'm aware of this it's been processing for more than 6 month, I'm just trying to track my case .." they basically kept our case there for no reason for one entire month. So frustrating... I also called the consulate in Paris (14euros) and got an guy on the phone who had no idea what he was talking about. NO IDEA. he was just useless and rude. I eventually got a consulate officer in Paris who knew what she was doing but was obviously overburdened by all the cases she has to deal with...
Another French couple from California had their NOA2 after us and they received their package 3 two weeks ago!! it just seems so unfair. I'm happy for them of course, but I want mine as well!!!
What I hate most in the whole process (appart that we are separeted of course) is how frustrated and angry it makes us feel. it's like everything is on hold..

So today I went to the cinema to see "the visitor". I guess I needed a story worst then mine to put my situation into perspective. At least I don't have a risk of being deported so it's not that bad...

Now we just have to wait, not knowing when the case will get to Paris. The consulate officer in Paris said they were scheduling interview for December right now, so by the time they get my case and we process package 3 we are more than likely to have an interview in January...

well, good luck to all of u with finishing K1 and starting AOS! smile.gif and keep posting on VJ !

mmm I realise kai put on our timeline that we sent the petition on 30th of April. I thought it was earlier than that really.. wacko.gif
anyways, seems like we really are the last ones on the April group / or maybe actually considered as in the May one!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers
Hi all,

Kai and I are in the last ones of the April filers group. We sent our petition mid April, it was received on the 30st of April and we got NOA1 only 22nd of May.. :about 5 weeks to get NOA1..didn't start too well!!
since then it's been almost 4 month and we are still waiting for NOA2. we got touched for the first time last Friday so we are hoping for a good news soon smile.gif in the meantime I've stoped my job and I'm going to visit Kai in DC this week so the wait isn't that bad !(hopefully I'll have a cool officer at the custom though..).
Anyways, I just wanted to say hi and congratulation to all the april filers that were approved and are on the final run process, and bon courage to all those that are still waiting like Kai and I!! smile.gif
we are really happy visa journey exists, it make the whole process much more understandable and bearable!

Oh no! :(

Looking at your list, we sent many of the same things as you: deed showing joint ownership of our house, joint bank statements, joint tax return transcripts for 2009 and 2010. (Incidentally, transcripts are always better than copies of the returns you sent because the transcripts prove you filed. You can get them in about a week if you order them through the IRS website.)

Besides those, we also sent our daughter's birth and baptismal certificates, a copy of my 401(k) beneficiary designation form designating Elisha as my beneficiary, a health insurance statement showing Elisha and our daughter as covered dependents on my policy, a copy of our auto insurance policy info showing both our names as covered drivers on the policy, copies of our family plan cellular bill with both our names on it, a copy of our confirmation from our first anniversary vacation, and a bunch of photos showing the two (later three) of us together. They approved Elisha without an interview (card production ordered today) based on that evidence, so I would think if you have any of the above they couldn't hurt.

Good luck and hope you're sharing good news soon!

RFE received today :angry:

I sent in what we have - the mortgage for our house, joint; joint bank accounts, tax returns with his name on the return, but he wasn't filing as he had no income (didn't work for a year and a half).

I'm not really sure what else to send them. We don't have much more than that. We have another year of tax returns, another year of bank statements, another year of mortgage payments.....

Any suggestions??

For the list the RFE was dated October 12.

I just checked the N-400 form and there's a part where you have to fill in dates and how many days you were actually out of the U.S. I don't think it'll be a big deal if you haven't been outside of the U.S. for more than 6 months?


Nothing to worry about, methinks. For naturalization based on marriage to a US citizen, the requirements are:
  • 3 years as a lawful permanent resident
  • Present in the United States for at least 18 months out of the 3 years
  • No absences from the US of more than 1 year without an approved Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes
The Naturalization Eligibility Worksheet has all the info you need.

In other news, the receipt number on Elisha's biometrics notice is finally showing up in the online case status application. Of course, like a doofus, I immediately signed up for e-mail and SMS updates. :)

As you inferred from the VJ numbers, March through June of 2011 saw pretty high numbers of new I-751 petitions received at VSC. September and November were significantly lower.

By the way, this data is available at http://dashboard.uscis.gov

They took my biometrics today. Going to Alexandria center in Va rather than Tampa was not a problem. No one was there and I had to wait long enough to fill out the form.
The longest part was the faff of getting the prints done. I was in and out really quick. They really enforced the no cell phone rule. I didn't take mine, but everyone got asked if they had theirs on them.

i reiterate, no one was there ahead of me (well, maybe 2 people) and I got taken right away. Most ungovernment like. It was almost pleasant.

We had a similarly good experience at the Alexandria ASC when we went there for AOS biometrics 2 years ago. Glad to hear it's still a pleasant experience. Maybe we can do a walk-in early biometrics like we did last time...

We will call USCIS.
Do you have any further info on that I-551 stamp, where to get it and what it is for?

I-551 is the form number for the Permanent Resident Card (green card). An I-551 stamp is placed into a passport as a temporary substitute for a valid green card. A foreign passport with an I-551 stamp inside is proof of legal presence, and authorizes employment and travel abroad during its period of validity. You can see one at http://www.visajourn...attach_id=14692

If you need one, you can make an InfoPass appointment to visit your local USCIS office: http://infopass.uscis.gov

Hey everyone. I have a quick question. My wife and I moved a few months ago to a new apartment. I changed my address via AR-11. Does my wife (my sponsor) need to do anything?

Yes. As your sponsor, your wife was required to file an affidavit of support for you on form I-864 or I-864EZ. She therefore needs to file a form I-865 Sponsor's Notice of Change of Address with USCIS.

Thank you for the advise Stephen+Elisha!

Would the stamp in passport suffice for extending my employment contract?


Yes, USCIS lists it as an acceptable document for the I-9 form. It's on page 55 of the handbook at this link: http://www.uscis.gov.../form/m-274.pdf

Definitely call USCIS if the NOA doesn't show up within 30 days. In addition, if your green card expiration date gets close and you still haven't gotten the NOA, make an InfoPass appointment to go to your local USCIS office for an I-551 stamp in your passport.

As of this morning our checking account shows a pending debit from "VSC FIELD OFFICE PAYMENT," so it looks like our NOA1 is on the way!

As an aside, the electronic debit thing annoys me... back when I filed the I-129F for my then-fiancee's K-1, I was able to get the receipt number from the online check image well before the paper NOA1 showed up in the mail. No more, apparently. :(
