K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCo-sponsor - husband and wife both sign I-134?
I realize there is not a place for both to sign on the I-134, but on page 8 of the packet 3 scan, it says it twice that if the sponsor is married, both should sign. http://www.visajourn...y...3&uid=30186

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCo-sponsor - husband and wife both sign I-134?
My father is my co-sponsor and I read in the packet 3 info that the co-sponsor, if married, would also need his spouse to sign the affidavit of support. Has anyone done this?

Also, I've read that the co-sponsors birth certificate is needed for some embassies - is this true for London?

You have a point though, TBone, I have heard horrible things about TSA at other airports, but I promise you, if you come to PDX (Portland)- DE checkpoint between 4-9am (my shift) you'll find we're a bunch fun loving, kind and respectful officers smile.gif PDX got best US airport the last 2 years running, but we've had several passengers tell us how awful they are at other airports. Just don't lump me or my crew in with them smile.gif


I had a funny experience at the PDX airport with TSA a few years back... I'm sure you are really nice though. smile.gif

I just read that PDF TBone and read "birth certificate" as "death certificate"... I *actually* wondered how the hell you were meant to include that for a full second before re-reading it correctly laughing.gif

Moxie - I will prolly find the I-134 download and get it filled out - I am pretty certain they ask for it in the UK but I just don't understand why it wouldn't have been mentioned yet!


Jeraly, don't they mention it in Packet 3? I thought I saw it in the scans.

I believe that doing this now, in this way, will pay off. I'm proof, and I believe that this approach also finally worked for SSAH. Facts, dispassion, and calm reinforcement are the keys.

I'm certain it was my phone call that reminded the ImmOff working my case that it was actually still on his desk. Thanks again for those prompts, TBone! Now we just wait for it to get to NVC. John, I really hope things move for you in a day or two! I would keep calling them.

I saw the update with their processing times online too, which was supposedly updated 12/14 but actually went up a day or two ago. VSC usually says 6 months too, instead of a date.

Congrats, Lady Anne, on moving ahead in your process! It's good news. smile.gif

Hey, I went through all the prompts like you said, and it told me, too, that I must send the requested evidence. The officer Mendez I reached (yay!) was very pleasant and checked to see where my file was, and told me there was no request for evidence either. She said my file is with an officer but since it has been there a long time (grrrrr), she offered to email him for me and said that usually speeds them up (in your case TBoneTX, it did!) so I am hopeful. On the other hand, I am still so aggravated at the length of time this is taking!! Why would it just sit at someones desk like that?

I have heard of the ban to the US (3 or 10) if an overstay is proved. He never came here on a visa though, just on vacations.

And since they told me my file was assigned, would that mean its not in a background check, assuming I was given correct info?

Next time I call I'll use your prompts to get to an Immigration Off.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?
Hmmm, I really wonder about that. Did your fiance take a lot of trips back and forth too? Did he indicate that files are sometimes sent there randomly or was there always a reason?

My fiance has had a lot of trips back and forth to the US, even before we starting dating. Maybe they are looking into those visits?

I'm waiting for the CSC processing dates to update...

YES, or at least by a week thereafter. The VJ sample (perhaps statistically valid) seems to reveal 5 months as the common time-until-approval.

Re-read my post of later yesterday (in response to Mox, I believe) about an approach to take during your next phone call. They at least owe you the information of exactly WHERE in the Division your file is, and because you're over 180 days and July/August apps have been approved before yours, you have the right to ask them to send an e-mail to the floor.

Keep the faith, Stephanie -- the most beautiful thing in the world is a woman with a smile on her face, and that Most Beautiful should be you. smile.gif

Yeah, I found your post really interesting. But I find it even more disheartening to call and not get anything from it. sad.gif In a few days they should be updating their processing times, and although I have no real great hope that it will move much more than a few weeks, perhaps it will. Either way, I think I will call again with your post in front of me next week.

Thanks for the encouragement. smile.gif

I don't suppose we will ever really know. I can't help but wonder what it is in our circumstance...

an RFE that just hasn't been issued?
name check?
security clearance? whatever that means...
waiting in a forgotten pile with TBone's?
on a desk of someone who's out on leave of absence?

My call last week did not even prompt a touch. That was only my second call; the first was back on October 29th to update my mailing address. On that call, she told me my case had not been assigned yet. Shouldn't it have been by that point?

Probably stating the obvious here, but not every American is loud, or animated (although I think being excited about being in a new country is a natural reaction), or makes fun of things that are different from what they know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?
I, too, called USCIS last Friday to update my address and when I asked about the fires possibly affecting the casework, the rep was nice enough to check my case and tell me that I was not assigned yet and how to check the CSC processing times online. She told me about the April 12th date and also said the same as someone else mentioned, that it could be only one case from April 12th that is still being processed, and doesn't mean that they have not worked any cases received beyond that date.

So, I was not surprised to see a touch on 10/31 but I was surprised to see another one within the last few hours!

I just read through the last 10 pages of this thread - whew! Anyway, I am hoping for an approval this week, but trying not to worry too much since I will be going to see Andrew in only a few days! smile.gif

But I do have a question: I read somewhere to get four notarized copies of the I-134 for the interview - are four needed? I can't find where I read it, so I'm not sure how I'm coming up with that number.

I want an NOA2! We sent it in the end of May, NOA1 sent to us 6/11... I checked out Google maps which shows the San Diego fires and looked for CSC (Laguna Niguel) and the fires are not that close to that city. Whether thats where our apps are, I'm not sure.

Well I know we aren't approaching the leftovers of June quite yet, but yeah its a bit frustrating to have to tell your fiancee sorry I don't know and I don't know when I will know... it could take a whole year to get her here given the things I'm reading lately. It can take 2 months now for a CSC filer to get to the embassy from NOA2, so even if our current problem is answered another one is poised to take its place.

I have a feeling that us stragglers are not just behind because an officer is on vacation. They must be running our apps by a supervisor who is probably busy. SSAH, Tbone and Lora you are my heros for maintaining you sanity this long.

TboneTX, I'm nearly the exact same time filing as you are and still waiting, too. I called them last week and of course, didn't get much out of them. He told me if I was disputing the date of April 29th as the cases they are working, I could make an appt with the local office here. I told him I was not disputing that, but the fact that they work the files in order of receipt which is obviously not the case. Your last call seems to have reached the only nice person working there.

I wonder if my file is somewhere with yours... in the "Division".

I hope it's this week!!!!

This might be slightly off-topic: Has anyone run into their passport being stamped with the wrong year? I came back from England this past August and only just realized that they stamped it as returning to USA 8/7/2006 - instead of 2007. I meant to use that visit and this one (I'm in London now, fiance is at work) as proof of continuing relationship, but now that passport stamp would be useless.

Okay I went to infopass and these are the choices:

1) Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

2) Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

3) EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

4) Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

Okay... none of these fit what I am looking for... that is why I called. Any suggestions? If not I'm going to have to go with the information that I got from the phone call.
