Just wait...the obsessiveness only continues after you get the number from your cashed check! Multiple checks daily of the USCIS website for "touches"... I knew I was crazy, but geez!!!
Just mailed our I-129F today to CSC. Now the waiting begins!

Congrats all new approvals! CSC must be slowly coming out of hibernation as my petition was received by NVC yesterday after only 13 days!....now if only all the others who are long overdue such as Sara would finally get their approvals! Keeping my fingers crossed!

estadia I hope you have good news soon....

I'm stuck in RFE limbo at the moment.....found out after a call to CSC today it can take up to 3 weeks after the mailroom timestamps your RFE before it makes it to the desk of the officer assigned to the case....absolutely ridiculous!

Hey Everyone,

Let's hope this is the week for us ... 191 days now since we sent off our application.

I know I've turned into a bit of a moaner of late, I promise to be more positive in future.

Maybe it's cos I've swore of alcohol for Lent ... roll on Easter.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for this week Eli!....and all the rest of us that have been waiting so long!

The whole process is starting to really get me down......seems endless......especially when we see the VSC approving applications so quickly. The CSC doesn't seem to care at all that they have people's lives in their hands!
I hope your attorney gets some answers for you soon. I don't know what a service request is....but whatever it is it sure can't hurt!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy hardest post yet... Our last night together
I know how hard it is to have to say goodbye. I can only imagine the pain intensified to have to leave your baby too. Sometimes it is almost impossible to keep a positive attitude. The reality is we are left with email and phone calls which can never come near to that physical presence and warmth of being with your family. It is a cruel process and one that needs to be looked at by lawmakers to end the hardships and sufferings of those waiting to be reunited. If it's any consolation....we are all in the same boat...and there are many wonderful people on VJ willing to lend an ear and give advice...God Speed....and remember "This too shall pass".

Vani...congrats on your approval....

I sent in a few photos, copy of Barry's passport pages showing his visits, copies of boarding passes and itineraries, ATM withdrawal slips matched to copies of his bank statement, a few emails and chat logs and calling card call logs....in the end we got RFE'd for his decree nisi copy


BTW...cute cat!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List
NN1980....you said you sent in pictures, chat logs, email, and phone cards ...that is all considered secondary evidence which can be used to supplement primary evidence of meeting in person. What they will be looking for is concrete proof of a meeting in the last two years such as... itineraries and boarding passes from flights, copies of passport pages showing entry stamps into the US or into the fiance/fiancee's country, copies of hotel bills,credit card statements from purchases, or copies of withdrawal slips from the ATM machine matched up bank statements , anything that says...yes...that person was surely in that place at that time!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List
as for length of time after submitting the RFE...I mailed mine back from the UK on March 22 and as of today CSC has not entered it into their system yet. I spoke with someone there today who told me it can take 2 1/2 to 3 weeks from the time their mailroom time stamps it until it gets to the desk of the officer assigned to the case. So if you receive an RFE...it can hold you up for a month or more....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List
We got our RFE in the mail today. It was for just what I guessed, An official SIGNED copy of Barry's decree absolute. Seems the stamped copy sent out from the court there in the UK is not sufficient.

United KingdomLondon Medical - Knightsbridge Doctors
Barry also went for his medical yesterday and also had the Irish doctor. He said the doctor was very friendly and they chatted a bit about what sort of work he does, what he plans on doing in the States and where in the US he was going to be living. The doctor went over all the questions on the form Barry had filled out. He said everything went smoothly and he was out of there in no time.

As for the photo....He took American and British passport photos also and gave them the British size, which was fine...good thing so he can save the 2 US size ones for the interview!

those are good suggestions for future filers...

My stamped and signed copy of the decree absolute (RFE reply) we mailed while I was in England March 22 , still has not been entered into the system at CSC. I've called several times to check and the latest is there are new contractors in the mailroom and any received mail is taking up to 4 weeks to reach it's recipient in the office.....ugh....

United KingdomDecree Absolute RFE
Just curious if anyone has received an RFE during the K-1 process for sending in the stamped copy of UK Decree Absolute. After waiting over 4 months, I received an RFE requesting an "official" SIGNED copy of the decree...which as I understand is not the norm to send out in England. Wish I'd have known this back in October when I submitted the package.

United KingdomToo Soon For Return Visit?
Thought someone here may have a bit of advice or knowledge. I made my first ever visit to England March 20th- April 1st. I'm planning a return trip for June 12th - June 25th. Do you think they'll deny my entry? I'm only nervous about this because I've seen some have been denied entry because they said it was too soon...how soon is too soon? Barry had no problems in entering the US on his 3 visits from June to Dec. 2007.

I know you've already left, but I just wanted to share a funny story from the last time I was over. This girl in front of me managed to get in the non EU line, but that was about it. She turned around and asked me what this line was for, I said Immigration and she didn't know what that meant. She got up to the lady, was asked for her VW card, she didn't have one (cause they'd only gone around the plane HOW many times with them and have HOW many signs posted!). I don't think she realized how the baggage claim worked either. Too funny!

Then there was another girl sitting in front of me on a different flight. She had to ask the steward what Surname meant and lister her nationality as hispanic smile.gif She was American by the way...


None of that surprises me...I live in Orlando where the tourists go...and it's like their brains (not to mention their common sense) goes on vacation before they get here, and it was to a different place! I wanted so much to not look like a tourist, but I'm sure the camera (and taking pictures of the Underground station signs every time we stopped) gave it away! I fell in love with England and wish I could live there!!!



Glad you enjoyed your trip! I fell in love with England too and can't wait to go back!!!!
