K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRecieved NOA1 early Aug 08 and waiting for NOA2
QUOTE (SoInLove16 @ Sep 23 2008, 02:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You positive? I dont think that's 100% true.



Yes, it is true, I've been following them cause they filed the same time we did. Got their NOA1, September 2 and 21 days later, NOA2. I do believe it was Vermont that was the filing center. I'm not holding out hope of seeing it before February-March.

We got our NOA1, September 12 and we were wondering the same thing. I am quite sure it will slow down. People tend to take some of their vacation time around the holiday season. I'll be interested to read some of your responses. Take care and good luck on your journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat does "Touched" mean
QUOTE (messin18 @ Sep 17 2008, 09:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
In everyones timeline i see "Touched" mentioned... what does this mean?


Once you get your first NOA, go onto the website USCIS.GOV and register with your NOA receipt # and then you can follow along. You should be able to see when your file is worked on "touched". Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsfirst touch
Vermont seems to be faster then California. I've read on here where people wait 4-6 months with no touches and then their NOA2 arrives.
You've just begun the wait...hopefully things will speed up as we are awaiting the CSC as well. Your timeline at the bottom gives you a possible date. I've been watching different ones and they seem to be quite accurate. GOOD LUCK!

There were a few.......you can check Igor's List, there are a little faster to see that way.

cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/igor/vjdata/vsc.aspx

sorry, just in case you don't have the website...



But I mean on this site. No one lists a NOA1 from Vermont for almost two weeks. It's too weird.



Yes, I know you meant this site, but if you go on Igor's list, you can click on the name and it takes you back to this website, I seen two of them for Vermont for the first week of July, and one I noticed has their NOA2 as well. Still I agree its not many. Makes you wonder what they are doing when you see some processed really quickly. One in 21 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Good luck on your journey.

QUOTE (AllyK @ Nov 6 2008, 11:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Does anyone know if there are still huge delays in processing K-1 visas? We filed our petition with the California Service Center. Is 6 months really still the average amount of time the processing takes?

Thank you for your help.



Everyone is different, but have you noticed there seems to be alot that are around the four month mark for the NOA2. Then you see some that are alot longer. Here's hoping! whistling.gif

QUOTE (DanielParul @ Nov 13 2008, 07:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thats great - everyone who gets to spend xmas, new year with their SO. I just bought a 2' xmas tree with lights and decorations. I am going to send it to Daniel so he can have a xmas in Iraq and I will put up our tree in our house here (if I can get it down from the attic). I hope he can atleast come for a few days when the baby is born to take care of things coz my family is not here and he doesn't have much family except grandparents who are really old, but I can't even count on that unsure.gif It will just suck to be alone when having the baby not to say scary too



Your going to send him a little tree...how cute is that! That's so sweet. We couldn't spend Christmas together last year but we talked on the phone most of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I sent him his Christmas Box and wouldn't let him open it till Christmas, along with the present I sent a Christmas Sock I made for him with all kinds of goodies inside. I wish I could have been there to see him open it.

Hopefully you will get to talk to him lots....take care.

This will be our 6th Christmas together. We were fortunate enough to not have to miss even one Christmas since we met.



Its' going to be a little hard for him I am sure. He's the youngest of 8 and they do the big family Christmas. Here in Canada it will be just him and I. OH and a visit to my parents 3 hours a way sometime over the holidays. We will just have to start our own traditions. Hope your Christmas is everything you want. Take care.

I was going to go to Wisconsin to spend Christmas with my honey, but it turns out a ticket to come to me would be cheaper. So yesterday I bought my honey a ticket so we can spend Christmas together. Our first real Christmas together. Even though we've been together about two years, this will be the first one with both of us in the same country! I am so looking forward to it. kicking.gif I pick him up on the 23rd at 11 pm.

How nice for you! Gene and I had a LDR for 4 years before we got the K-1. A month before I moved down here, we spent our first Christmas together! How lovely for you! Have fun!

I guess it takes hiring a lawyer to get your petition process faster huh?



We didn't hire a lawyer. We have been going it alone. We just couldn't justify the costs. We are both sticklers for details, and read alot so we felt comfortable doing it ourselves.
