K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS Customer Portfolio - 500 Internal Server Error


Grrr...
It's been a few days that when I want to see my account's portfolio I get "500 Internal Server Error".
So if I want to check our status, I need to type my case number.

Though I can access my account, but it seems the portfolio is broken.
I'm surprised nobody else mentionned it...

Is it just mine that's broken? :s

I don't mean to say my family doesn't empathize with my love of travel, but...



That made me thinking about my mother asking me "Why do you always feel like you need to go away? What are you fleeing from?"

When I was 6, there was that village called Schneckenbush (I loved that name) next to mine, well it was 4 miles away.
I loved to plan "expeditions" and ride my bike just to go there and "explore" that place!
It used to make my parents to laugh.

I grew up on the french-german border, therefore I never thought borders were limits.
As I got older, I pushed the distance limit further and further...

I'm wondering why my parents are still surprised.
So yes, telling my mother I'm going to marry an american guy was just the cherry on the cake!


I love to fly Emirates.
I remember a flight with this company where there was extra icecream... and the hostess was coming every 20mns to check if we wanted some more...
I stopped at 3!

Ok, so I've been having this same exact problem since the beginning.

So cleaning your temporary/cache/cookies files will fix it, but it comes back...

So what I do is, I hit the backward button, you'll see you can actually log out, so Sign Out, and then log again, and finally it works.

Are you guys logging from the US or a different country? I've been thinking it's a proxy problem. I get it on the 3 different computers I use, IE or Firefox...

I am sorry Jewel, but I think you were right to say what you're thinking, it's easy to say nice and supporting stuffs, but it's also a friend duty to raise little warnings when it's needed.
It's not easy because once you said such things there's a good chance you'll get the first punch right in the face. It doesn't matter if it's to help a friend.

No matter what, scam or not scam, this is something he's got to deal with and fix on his own. Don't send him any money.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFiance just had interview, not sure of how it went...

So after stressing out for weeks my fiance just got back from her interview (Paris embassy) and was in tears over it. I had been working as a software engineer for several years but got laid off a few months back. The final interviewer was telling her that we might not have enough money (though they kept her passport and didn't say that anything was denied). She noticed that another person that was there left the same day with a packet, but they told my fiance that they would send everything to her in the mail and to wait 2 weeks.

Does this sound ominous, or is this just the usual grilling they give out for the interview?

I included my savings statements from my banks (about $45,000), and her savings (about $5,000).
Should I have gotten my mother and/or father to send in a statement of support as well?
Is it too late to fax in my parents letter of support in to the embassy?

Thanks for any advice!


Paris consulate is always "mysterious" about the interview result. But nobody gets their visa the same day, the Chronopost enveloppe is usually sent back to you within 10 days.
From my experience and what I read, Paris embassy is not so exigeant about income requirements. So my guess is that the CO advised that you might get a problem at AOS stage which is understandable. So try to look for a co-spondor asap.

Worst case scenario, they ask you for a cosponsor but I'm pretty sure your fiancé/e will get the package back with visa in 10 days or so.

Hey there,
Yes so we have a french looser here.
My trip was exhausting, and when I finally went through immigration, unfortunatly they failed to give/staple my i-94 on my passport.
Which prevents me to apply for SSN and AOS.

I am so angry at myself, I was exhausted and I asked "Isn't there something missing in my passport?" The agent said no, this is it.

Now we called the immigration office at the airport today and they say I have lost it...
They don't want to re-issue one, they say they want to wait for evidences, if I lost it or they didn't issue it, and for now, they can't find any record about me in their system. They say it's too soon and they'll call me back in a week, or two, or three...

I am so mad at myself right now...
You can't imagine.

Good morning my french sister! :-) As you said the only thing that really matters is that you will be together. That's how we feel too. Adjusting is complicated but with lots of love and understanding you'll get through that as well. I am here already a month now and for some reason it still feels temporary, like soon I will have to pack my things and leave again. But I know that's because this is what we've done for the last 6 and a half years. Always on the run. Being here for good feels almost surreal.


This is my dream... To not always carry that horrible feeling that it's temporary and soon I'll have to leave. I'm really wondering how I'll "feel" this. :)

Good morning family! We are getting married on the 22nd of January!!! It will only be a small ceremony held in a chapel on a military airforce base. Unfortunately there will be nobody to attend since both our families are far away from here and there's no time to bring them all. But it's ok. I have arranged with the priest to have the laptop with us and broadcast the ceremony online so all our loved ones could see us. :-)

We got our wedding rings a few days ago. For some reason (maybe because we had to do it so fast) I don't feel like I am getting married. It feels more like completing a task. hehehe On the other hand it may be that we already feel like we are married to each other since we spent so many years together.

Well, I wish everyone all the best and to those still waiting for approvals may your journey be as smooth as ours was.

Hugs and kisses to everybody,

Ileana



Hello Ileana,

You're not the only one to feel this way.
I think it's the visa process that steals the "getting married" feeling. Being able to get the visa is more important than the marriage itself, as without the visa we're not able to get married...
Two years of a long distance relationships have sucked our savings dry so we really don't have extra money for any reception. Plus my monkey and me don't really have familly, we're rootless people. Though our friends insist on making a little one for us :)

I got my visa in hand last week, but I'm not done with the moving organisation at all. I wish I could also just pack two suitcases... But it's way more complicated for me. And I certainly don't have the time or the energy to organize a real wedding reception anyway.

And to be fully honest, I don't really care, all I want is to be able to start a new life with my monkey, getting married is just one task in the process like you said.
Maybe later, we'll do another ceremony, like vows renewal or something, which will have more meaning to us.

Well, maybe it's just personnal, I never dreamt of a big wedding and a long white dress... It's not my thing. :)


Congratz to you Simon & Janet! I try not to think too much about AOS yet.... :x

Hi everyone, I got packet 4 this morning and our interview date has been set for January 25th at 8.30am in London!!! Yaaaaaay!!! Im sooooo excited! We're nearly together forever! Ahhhh! :blush:



Hoolala Rachel !!! Wooooh!!!
That is so great, and that is only in 19 days! Oh my god, will you be ready? ;)

More seriously, the interview stage is really painless for us lucky european people.
So don't streeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!! :dead:

The night before I went, in my bed I reviewed my documents in my head like 235262465745 times, even in my dreams...
Then again, I reviewed them in the bus... and the next day, after the interview, I thought, hmmm where were the paystubs...?
Guess what...? My monkey forgot to send me the copy of his paystubs!!! o_O
He made another "mistake" on his affidavit (the 3rd version already) which I'm too ashamed to tell.
Still, it went very well! I guess, Tax transcripts and employer letter were enough already. Since the lady told me "Oh that's more than enough documents".

Will you leave the UK as soon as you get the visa or do you have some things to manage before leaving? :)

Bonne Année à tous ! wink.gif (2nd edition)

So my interview was yesterday. It went well, it was just very boring, I had to sit and wait like two hours totally...
The embassy was closing for the new year, so agents and consul were trying to go fast. I could notice I was getting a "fast forward" version.
I got 4 questions "What does your fiancée do for a living, what do you do, where are you going to live, what do you plan to do there? Visa in mail in 10 days, good luck!"

Even though I'm really happy this is over (for now), I have to say it was a real pain to deal with this during the holiday season...!
Everything is either crowded or closed... I wanted to give my leave notice for my appartment today and I couldn't find a opened Post office... sleep.gif
I barely could organize anything for myself except a few days during Christmas with my familly... It's been two weeks I'm running everywhere like a chicken with head cut off.
But oh well...
One thing is sure Rachel, it will be a lot more peacefull for you to deal with this after the New Year.

Next step for me is to empty my place, but my mom has decided to fill it again with old stuffs she wants me to bring to the US with me... helpsmilie.gif

They welcomed me with a big smile - the interview lasted less than 5 minutes. So one of the first things I've done here was shopping obviously! wink.gif X-mas tree, decorations, presents and all! I am like a kid in a candy store!

Well, I will take some time to relax and then start the rest of the process - marriage, AOS and all. For now I don't worry about anything. biggrin.gif

Ooooh! You're soooooo lucky!!! Oh gosh I wish I could enjoy the holidays in my warm little house in Delaware...!

I just came home, I took the afternoon off to do last christmas shopping, get the results of my medical, and get my pictures done (wasn't easy to find a place where they can do the american size ones). Everything was actually in the same neighborhood in Paris but... Every place is super crowded, half of our transportation system is on strike, the other one is broken... (one train derailed, big accident but no one died).

It is a nightmare to have to do all those things during the holidays....!

OMG that's horrible. At least he won't delayyou with having to finish up stuff there though! He can get it all handled in the next 2 months. biggrin.gif


We were concerned because his police paper from Peru expires in December, and it was SUCH an ordeal to get it "quickly". Quickly was nearly 3 months. I called the Embassy in Madrid today and his interview is now December 30th! That saves 5 weeks. So nice that they changed it for us. I don't think it would have been an issue to be a little bit expired, I think they take them for 6 months or a year from issuance? Regardless of the expiration date on the paper. I am just happy he will have it before the end of the year.

I hope everyone else gets their interview dates soon.



Wow, yes that's very lucky! Good thing that you gave it a shot, I personnaly wouldn't have believed this would be possible. smile.gif

My police record needs to be 3 months old max but that varies depending on which country issue the police record. It was mentionned on Packet 3 checklist.

It says:

That is all that must be sent back. Everything else must be taken to the interview."

Nobody shows in your "Similar timelines"? Maybe you could directly ask someone here.

Well it seems Argentina has similar delays as France (55 days for France)

Last time I went to the USA, I went to the vet' to check my little ferret, she was more than 6 years old and she hasn't seemed very well for a while, and I wanted to make sure before I'd leave her to a friend for two weeks. It was making me very anxious, because I doubted she could survive such a long trip. 6 years is old for a ferret.

Finally the day before I was supposed to fly, I headed to the vet.
She had cancer... Vet said she could hope to live for 3 months max with heavy medication.
In a blink, I had to make an horrible decision. I couldn't leave her to my friend like that, with the medication.
It was during the summer, it was getting hot, and I could see she was suffering.
So I decided to put her to sleep.

It was my last day at work before vacation and I was supposed to finish and close a lot of files...
All I did was crying all day long... Then I went home, and I started to dismount her cage and put away all her stuffs.
I managed to cut myself very badly...

On the way to the airport, I was still crying...
I managed to loose my little neckband cushion thingy in the gates waiting room, more crying...
I was the last one to get into the plane (because I tried to find my neckband back....)
The air hostess said "I've got a good news for you! you're upgraded to business class!", MORE crying!

We're here now, but speaking for myself, it's been more than a year I'm planning this journey, and I started to plan it thinking she would come with me...

I really hope you'll be able to manage a fine journey for your dog, Rachel, it's important.

I'm wondering how people who are like 50 years old manage this. Well, I moved 17 times in my entire life so you can guess the mess...
I had to dive in my old paperwork, I hate that...
But it's done now, and I'll send it tomorrow!

Ileana's interview is on the 19th!!! It will be our first. One week left. happy.gif
(Ok, I confess, I checked their timeline tongue.gif)

I don't feel comfortable displaying my first name on this forum. Well I never do it on any forum. smile.gif
It is no secret though. It's just that I don't want it to appear when my first name is googled.

I am just a mushroom.

Thank you so much everybody! I know I shouldn't but I am nervous anyway! wacko.gif

They're moving really fast. Only 9 days from my call. Not bad at all!

Hugs to all!!!



Yes wow, that is so fast...
I've been looking at other VJ Frenchies timeline and well I can estimate my interview at the end of December or early January. sad.gif
And I'm scared it may even get worse with that Vermont approval rush...

This winter is killing me, I'm sooooooo tired already, but tomorrow is a holiday, I'll be able to celebrate the end of WWI in my bed. smile.gif

Oh, maybe I wasn't clear, sorry.

You give your old USCIS case number to the NVC agent and they give your their new case number they have assigned to your case (if they have received it of course).
That new case number is precious because you'll need it to fill a form for your embassy.

You should be able to call on Monday.
For example, I got my NO2 on a Monday, we called on Thursday, they had just received it, then we called again on Tuesday and they told us the package left the day before.

Packet 3 is mainly a checklist yes.
