K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???

your situation is hard to say. You note the second I-797C is not on security paper. And looks nothing like a Notice of Action. It could be a duplicate notice. But either way I would be on the phone to USCIS asking what the letter I got in the is, and what it means. Also asking if there is an RFE, or is there a hold while checking evidence, or is the case pending on a desk, or is an ajudicator assigned to the case. You could have approval, you could have RFE or you could have nothing. The case could have moved from one ajudicator to another causing a second issuance of the first notice of action.

But calling UsCIS does not hurt. the key is asking is the case approved, or still pending approval, and if there is a request for evdence is an issue with ajugication. Ask for facts only. Best way to get answers.


Yeah Pangga will definitely call on Monday. Today's Sunday here in Philippines and Saturday night in his time. I just hope its not something for an rfe.. Thanks guys, we'll come back here and let you know what ever that is.
God bless.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???

always pay attention to the form and what is said. Strange it would generate another I797C... I would contact hte USCIS and verify the reason for a second notice. If the second notice is not on security paper (green sheet or something similar) I would be looking for RFE or documents needed or something. Generally, RFE letters are not on security papr. The I-797c and I-797 look very very very similar. However, the I-797 approval notice

Check out this page for images and differences:
NOA images


It's sad to think an RFE is coming. But how come on the 2nd I-797C there's given A# (Alien#)?? Don't you think its positive indication?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???

Yes so it looks like it's not a NOA2, but another NOA1...
Are you a naturalized US citizen? My fiance is, and we have his old A# on our NOA1. There are our 2 A# on our NOA2.

BTW, the link you sent has some small mistakes (some pages on VJ are not up to date so it's possible to find old info). For example, NOA1 is I-797C and NOA2 is I-797, the link doesn't say that.
Sorry it's not an approval notice... I agree that's confusing that you received 2 times a NOA1!!

Problem is that now you have 2 notices with 2 Notice date 1 month apart. I would inquire and call USCIS to know what happened and hope your case won't be delay of one month now!
Does your first NOA1 say the same thing, meaning that they received your case?



Yes a Natural US Citizen so no A# for me. this will be Her A#.

Regarding 1 month delay? I do not think so the first I-797C is on Security Paper and the Second I797C is NOT on security paper.

Just the New NOA#1.5 folks. She is HAPPY with the A# and NOA#-1.5 :) You know if she is happy everybody is Happy!!!

TY all. God Bless :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???

Quick question, do you see the word "approval" or "approved" in this new notice? If not, that's not a NOA2.



Folks,

This is a full page (too much to re-type here):

1. First line says: "Receipt Notice - This notice confirms that USCIS received yur application or petition ("this case") as shown above"

2. I do not see "Approved"

3. The VJ Link above clearly states about the A# being added is the NOA#2. yes I realize NOA#2 is a VJ Term. I WISH VJ to rewriet or reword the LINK above about the A# so this does not confuse others too


TY :) Simply looking like a NOA#1 with the A# Added on another I797C. My NEW TERM IS NOA#-1.5 LOL

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???

If it's I-797C it's a NOA1.
NOA2 is I-797 and clearly says the petition is approved.



FYI

Link Above says if it has been assigned an A# then it is an NOA2 in the middle paragraph.

NOA1 or NOA2??????????

FYI

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this NOA#2, too fast???
Mr Pangga here,

I just received a Second I-797C (Notice of Action). this looks very similar to my First I-797c (Notice of Action) Received Date 15 March and Notice Date 19 March.... This SECOND I-797C has added the AXXX XXX XXX and the same Received Date 15 March but also has NOTICE Date 20 April. Both from CSC.

this link says NOA#2 (I think) http://www.visajourn...-I129f.html#3.1

Sunshine is peeing her pants right now with JOY & Happiness. I hope she is right, but seems WAY-TOO-FAST for me. Also I DID NOT ask for expedite.

What do you guys think???

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow do I get ID in the philippines

Yeah....it's crazy in Pinas. I could not believe my wife applying for all those. And their telling us it will be 1 year or more before receiving the ID.....WOW!!!


Yeah sad to say but true. Here in my place they already made joke on that. coz there was one man 2yrs before he died he applied for this Voter's ID but he got the ID only after he died. When i went there their reason was that they have a new system in providing Voter's ID. They said it will be computerized, but sad to say i don't see any improvement but it got even worst. Before i remember if you wanna get your Voter's ID they'll just give you a card and you're just be the one to put picture on your ID and they'll release it in just a day. But now you'll have to wait til forever for its releasing.
To the OP another easy to get ID is the Philhealth ID. Philhealth has new system also. You can apply online which i did coz i thought it will be faster but sad to say when i went to Philhealth Tagbilaran they said its their first time someone applied online so they did not know yet how to handle it. With due respect to Philhealth staff they were so kind and accomodating. They handled mine like a special case since i was the only one who applied online. And they made sure I'll get my ID in same day same as other people who just walk in and passed the requirements.
Anyways if you want to apply online its ok and its also faster but you have to go directly to their Regional office. But i would advise you to just complete the requirements which is given on their site and just walk in to their office and as soon as you paid they'll give you your ID.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy Interview experienced...

Hello everyone! i hope you are all well,here is my story of my interview yesterday at the
US embassy,manila...May 7th booked hotel in ermita,so i can be there early,i woke up at 2am
get ready,just before i left at the hotel i check my documents and make sure i have everything i need,i Prayed for guidance and called my honey.
Exactly 3:15am i arrived at the US embassy,
there was people already waiting at the foot bridge,i thought i will be the first one lol...
they got there 2am wow!!!so i sit and waited,there's a vendors selling food and telling you
if you have gadgets you can leave it with them for a fee of 150pesos.then around 4 something
the vendors told us to fall inline,i been standing for 2 hours :crying:
Girls,if your wearing heels better bring flip flops but only if somebody with you so,
you can leave it when you go inside embassy.then about 6 something the guard told us to fall
inline there first priority are senior citizen and family with kids.then,the staff wearing
blue shirt will asked you of your Appointment confirmation(1st page)2 copy of DS156,DS157
1 copy DS156k,Passport they will give you a plastic to put you passport.they will asked
you what ST lukes gave you.then we go in security check our belongings
and again,any gadgets is not allowed even USB,food and water is not allowed,
But they are selling food inside,then we got in and again fall inline for that window will
give you your priority number,once you are inside the Building the first thing is you will
drop your papers at window 39,(this are the papers were the staff wearing blue shirt outside
arranged it for you before you get in).once you drop your papers watch the queuing board
Numbers changed randomly,base on my experienced i was interviewed first by filipino consul
at window 49,he asked for my Birth certificate,cenomar,NBI,Passport,as he is encoding some data he asked me question who is my petitioner,when and where did we met,how many times he
visited me,then,he asked my fiance's I134,W2,ITR,then again he ask if we have
chat's,email so i show him my huge paper of YM Chats,Emails,Skype Chat logs he said wow!
ok ok i believed you...lol he didn't bother to check it but it's really better to have more
than enough,then he asked our pictures together then asked me when are we going to marry
i told him June 16,and that my fiance's parents book the venue for us.he write down everything particularly my answer.he told me that everything is good that i can take a sit
and wait,i told him i haven't done my finger scan yet so he said,oh ok ok...then again my
number flash on the queuing board for window 40 finger scan,the american lady in that
window is nice and friendly.Girls,always greet the consul and wear your best smile :)
i was done in 7a.m for pre-interview,finger scan so i sit and waited for my final interview with the US consul. i keep on praying...actually,the US consul window open at 8a.m. but my
number never called til like 9 something so i was setting for 2hrs, waiting...
then the moment came,my number flash on the board window 64,she's like chinese she is
really nice,she asked my name,my fiance's name,when and where did we met,how many times
he visited me,if we are married before,she saw my previous work on DS156k in kuwait if i
commit any crime,i said no.and asked me when did he proposed to me,
and when are we planning to get married,she interview me in less
than 5 minutes,that was really fast.and the last thing i heard from her was your paper looks
good and that i'm approving your Visa,Congratulations!!! i was in tears when i heard that
it's a tears of joy!...God did answer my prayers...i say Thank you to her many times...
so again i sit and waited at the last window 71,the filipino who is in that window ask my name and check my papers then told me where i want my visa to be delivered
i told him for pick up in SM center...and he give me back my appoinment confirmation
with a stamp BIO F/P DONE and dated it.so i walk out US embassy with a big smile on my face Thank GOD!!! thank you guys for all the support and prayers!!!
sorry guys if this really long i just want to detailed my experienced in my interview and
share it with you all...like what i said in my previous post "Prayers bring Miracles"...
keep on praying and believed that you deserve this,apply that law of attraction what
you are attracting to your life is definitely will be yours...stay positive...
and always seek God's guidance...Thank you all! Good luck to us...and God Bless us always!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsour I-129F is still not processed???!?!

Having a military ID does not automatically qualify for an expedite. Military can be expedited if they are deploying to a war zone, then other information - not just an ID is required.



100% TRUE. Hey Beck, I too have K1 at CSC and sent I-129f mid March 2012, It has been 6 months for us too. I did include my Military ID (color photo copy) with original submission. So having the Military ID did NOT make mine any faster either. I called USCIS and asked for "Beyond normal processing time" Service request on 20 Aug 2012, they tell me to now wait 15 more days. How I wish my Adjudicator would call me :) Remember GOD answers all prayer in 3 ways. Yes, No, Maybe later... God Bless and use this time to strengthen your relationship.

Karren19,

Might I suggest what I (Mr Pangga) and She (Ms Sunshine) have done. Create a Profile to be SHARED by both of you, so we can quickly help the both of you even faster. This has worked very well for both of us so are informed and on the same page daily with what is going on in the K1 Visa process. Also we spend an average of 2 to 8 hours everyday reading and researching here and sharing links together too.

Good Luck and GOD Bless

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting on NOA2; Headed to Philippines; What Next?

Hey just a heads up as others answered your questions well. One item as you travel to Philippines is you will be required to purchase a return airline ticket or onward airline ticket as the Philippine Government will not allow you entrance with a one way ticket. This is due to people coming there to disapear with no form of income then it becomes messy for the RP Government etc. So a few options is have your return ticket open ended or purchase an onward ticket on Cebu Pacific to Hong Kong so you have no hassles. I have seen people not be able to board in the USA without a return or onward ticket.



Yes this is happening now. Just started a few months ago!!! Spread the word to other FLI-AM's

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIncome Tax Transcripts LESSONS LEARNED
Mr Pangga here:

OK I called BOTH the 1 800 829 1040 # and the 1 800 908 9946 # both went to same place the latter # got you there a little faster. I called them both and entered all my requested data and waited 10 business days. 15 business days later I got nothing so I did it again and again 15 business days later I got NOTHING but 6 weeks wasted time. I went to www.irs.gov and did this ONLINE then did the online survey and told them how the 800#'s failed me too. Well you guessed it... 15 business days later I got NOTHING! @$%*@&^$*#%@#&$!!!

So I called the first 800# then pressed Zero to operator and was on Hold and listening to recordings for nearly 25 minutes. The guy answers says his name and employee # then "How may I redirect your call?" I tell him all above and then says he will transfer me to someone who will fax it to me in real time. GREAT :)

So another 20 minutes of listening to recordings and then lady answers the phone with her name and employee number. I repeat the above facts, she then gets my SSN, Name, Address, Birthday. She says then says what is the purpose for the Income Tax Transcripts? I say USCIS, Dept of Homeland Security and DOJ for VISA. She says please hold. 5 min later she asked where these filed by Mailed IN or Electronically for 2009, 2010 & 2011. I say 2011 & 2010 were electronic and 2009 was mailed in. Put on hold again. 10 minutes later she says she has found them and could they be faxed in the next 48 to 72 hours? I reply NO WAY not after all of this and nearly 2 moths of trusting your systems NO WAY. Also the guy who transferred me said they would be faxed real-time today!!! A long pause then I hear her exhale abruptly and say "I will have to walk to the printer now". I stayed on my cell phone while these were faxed to my home phone line and Fax Machine. Each year was about 7 pages so 21 pages later I have them :)

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL your NOA#2 then start to get these you might be severely delayed. Yes many have had the 800# work for them... But I would try it once then do website same day then 15 business days later you got nothing then see above. GOOD LUCK :)

OK here is what you are suppose to do. Wait until 5 months and 1 day beyond your Priority Date called NOA#1. Call the USCIS and politely ask for a "Service Request for Beyond Normal Processing Time". Then they will ask you to wait up to 15 business days before calling them back. We got our NOA#2 about 10 business days later.

Hello..thank you all for your kindness... :) I have another question... i just read some article regarding the k1 visa..they said that they need the physical file for the case in order to have the medical exam, what if i dont have the physical file for my case, can i still have my medical exam? What should I bring then for my medical exam?


After you pay at BPI and go back to the website to SCHEDULE the appointment, when you select a date and get to the confirmation "Screen" Capture a "Print Screen" and then print that out and bring it to the Medical Exam at St Lukes. It is only a single page.

Where is the USC Petioner in this process??? What is the USC telling you?? I find it really amazing the number of Benifactors that come here for help on their own. I applaude them for doing so, however the USC should be here on VJ DAILY!!!. The USC has to be the LEAD DRIVER imho. All the answers are HERE on VJ, emails, phone numbers, escalations processes, Congressman/woman, Case numbers, tracking numbers, Ect...

You should not and do not have to go through this ALONE. Yes some USC are more PROACTIVE than others.

Sunshine and I are on VJ DAILY for HOURS each and every day since March 2012.

This is nearly a Partime job!!! The Amount of effort put into this is equal to the amount of results you get out of this. If you think you just start the process and the GOVT will finish this on Auto-Pilot then you are sadly misinformed. It has to be (YOU & HIM/HER) vs (2 Governments) and VJ is your seceret weapon!

Last I knew they use your Medical Date then add 6 months, so was your Medical finished 6 months from Expire date? Upon futher investigation of your timeline I see you fly to the US on the 24th NOV, so you should be fine because the K1Visa is then converted to I-94 and the K1V is no longer Valid that day at POE. RELAX now and enjoy your trip.

Ronn63,

 

  I used my IRS Transcripts that was sent from the IRS (worked for us).  On the flip side and I am sure anyone with half a brain knows they can download some tax software and place any numbers in there to make them look like Bill Gates $$$ and hit print...  I'm sure they would NOT accept these as legit.  Just my 3 cents.

There is a Phillipines Document called CENOMAR (Certificate or Non Marriage).  I requested Sunshine to show me Her CENOMAR on Skype at the start of meetings.  The K-1 Visa Flowchart shows what documents are needed when.  It is not until they are in the US Embassy that CENOMAR is asked for.  If you wanted investigations and confirmations prior to that, then that responsibility is YOURS!!!  So no need to Blame the USCIS for any background checks prior to getting to the US Embassy.  Simply WITHDRAWL your application and add a check mark to Lessons in Life learned.  There are TOO MANY:  Single Women WITHOUT Kids there.  Try www(dot)Jaderune(dot)com, it is OLDSCHOOL site with no Filters but like anything in life you get out what you put in.  Goodluck.
