K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	VSC vs CSC	With the Superbowl here in America looming on the horizon I can't help but notice how our service center is sort of like our 'home teams'. We celebrate with others of our team when we get our NOA2s, we curse our team when they aren't performing as well as they'd like (but we stick with them anyway, mainly because we have to XD) and we call foul on some plays they make (RFE's, other people getting approved sooner than us etc). In the end though, each one of our teams win our own personal Superbowl (the NOA2!) So stick with your teams guys and cheer them on because they may lose every now and then but you will eventually win!!!	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-01 05:59:00

Your NOA2 was after ours and you got out of NVC before us. Just kidding - congrats! An approved I-129F is valid for four months from the date of the approval, so yours is good 'til 12/31/2009. The consulate can extend it beyond that if you (the petitioner) send them a letter asking for the revalidation and reaffirming your intent to marry. So there's still time in case Rebeca changes her mind. QUOTE (Richard-Joanna @ Sep 8 2009, 04:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wanna chuckle? this just in from the VSCfollowup email i sent. Hello Richard, As you were infomed in previous inquiries, your I-129f petition is with the security checks department. The only information we have for you is that the petition is with the security checks department. We do not have access to any other information such as what type of checks are being conducted, or how long they will take. We are sorry for the delay. too funny... at least it was hand typed (hence the typo) Wow, a real answer.... it's something.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-08 15:42:00

Arsehole who knows less than nothing told me that VSC worked their cases on FIFO basis which we all know a big pile of stinking poop. Also told me that I have to give the cases 5+1 month extra before even thinking of inquiry about it. Very helpful. great way to start another week I know, they are sooooooooooooooooo useless..and even when you get to tier 2 there is very little information that they have and to make it even worse, there is no where to go from there... it isnt like you can ultimately get to someone that actually knows something.. there are no tier 2 supervisors.. or at least none that I have been able to get to. Yeah, in a sense Tier II is even worse than Tier I—the poor mindless kids at Tier I will dutifully put in a service request at 5 months + 1 day, but Tier II won't entertain it until you're 30 days outside of the "current" processing time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	Good morning folks! The drive back from Kentucky to Virginia yesterday was fairly pleasant. I saw a rainbow while I was driving through West Virginia. Not just any rainbow, but a double: Shooting those with my iPhone while careening down a 2200-foot mountain—I think it was a 7% grade in that section—was exciting to say the least. Anyway, here's hoping they bring good luck to all our March family!	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-08 08:47:00

Generally you'll receive a letter from the NVC a few days after the NOA2 hardcopy arrives in the mail. If you want to check on the status, give NVC a call: 603-334-0700. Follow the menu choices to speak to an operator, then give them your USCIS receipt number. They'll ask for the full name and date of birth of the beneficiary and petitioner, verify your contact info, then you can ask for the NVC/consular case number and when/if it's been sent to the consulate yet.

No packet yet. Ugh! the waiting for this is worse than waiting for the NOA2! Perhaps this will help: 1) 2 days after NOA2, starting calling NVC: 603-334-0700 press 1 then 5. 2) Once NVC has your case, they assign a new case #. Ask them what date they sent your file to the embassy & also for the NVC case #. 3) Once you know the date NVC sent off the file, track it at DHL's website: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef For the reference code, enter EXP 10 JUL 2009A (adjust using dates just before the date NVC told you), with a shipping range of that day to a few days later (July 13 - July 14 worked for the example above). Look for shipments to your beneficiary's embassy. 4) To find out if the embassy processed the packet, call the Dept of State before 5pm: 202-663-1225 press 1 then 0 5) You can also call the DoS to find out your interview date once you believe the embassy has scheduled it.
