Here's an update. I talked to Loreta this morning, afternoon her time. Somebody in her apartment bldg last Thursday found her on the floor and called an ambulance. She's still sick and trouble breathing and it hurts when she coughs. Pneunonia is an infection of the lungs. I was so relieved to hear from her. Will have to deal with the embassy again, but what can you do?

Geor and Andie no good news, she had a fever coming on around the beginning of last week. We were hoping it would just go away. Late Thursday I found out she had pneumonia, from a cutoff text msg. Haven't been able to contact her, just praying she's ok.

Geor, thanks, it should go fine this time. Its good you'll see Dante soon!!!

Carolina Congratulations!!! Now the question is what the heck are you going to do with yourself now that your not waiting? :P

Still have several days before the interview. Loreta's ear infection is gone too so she can hear in her right ear now. Thanks for all the wishes! Fingers n toes crossed and hair braided! Will let you know.

I think I know what you are saying Looky ... I believe we go through different stages in our lives and patience and understanding increase as time goes by - life is full of compromises ... for the interview, my best wishes - I hope for the very best for you both. (F)


Yes Andie, and to add I'm one of those who believe there are only a few people in the world that are perfectly in tune with you. I'm almost 50 and I've never been married and there's only a few I ever considered, but now I've found her and I'm not letting her go.

In a way I believe Loreta and I have got the hardest part out of the way, the part where you have to build a trusting and loving relationship and can take on any problems with your partner and solve them. Of course I haven't been in the same place with her for 10 years but we certainly have been having the conversations over the phone over that time span, about everyting and know how to deal with each other.

Nothing good ever came into my life without a fight, but once you get through it you appreciate the prize much more! Thanks for the wishes! I want to believe you two have the same sort of relationship Andie, just there's a bit of a road block that you have to get through first. So best wishes for you too Andie. (F)

Hey everybody, long time I don't post here. Well, but always on the K1 group on Facebook.

@RK & Inday, congratulations guys! February 5th its almost here, wish you all the best!

@Geor, I know everything about the apartment haha :P :lol:

@ Looky, I don't know what to tell you man. Honestly, I've been reading about everything it happened to your fiancee and the updates, I really don't know what to tell you. But to be honest with you, something does seem wrong to me about it all. Since its none of my business, I can just wish you good luck, if its meant to be it will happen, sooner or later.


About our case, we sent last week our AOS package and last night I received the NOA1's for everything. I'm very excited, but not really about the wait :huh: Oh well though, I had to wait to be here with my husband, now its all good. :luv:

I hope everybody is doing alright and enjoying their time with family or loved ones. (F)


Well congratulations Carolina! I don't think you realize how different my relationship is with Loreta than almost any relationship I know about and could easily be a good movie story. First of all the fact is she has always had way too many health problems and now that she will be 37 in 4 months its not getting any easier for her. I've known about the problems since I met her, almost 10 years ago. She and I are best friends and we can never be apart for too long. She's tested me against past boyfriends and just about everything else but I've always won her, over and over again. We both need each other. I really wonder sometimes how long it will be before some health problem comes along that could put her over the edge, but I'm going to be there for her cause there's no one else that can take care of her the way I can.

So don't worry about me, she and I are fighters till the end and we've already given each other so much happiness that we will always be happy for what we have!

Enjoy Carolina, but one thing, quit waiting for everything, cause you'll be waitng for something all your life! Spend the time doing the stuff that makes you happy and so the time will fly and you'll be wondering what the heck you were waiting for anyway!

Just to update. Loreta's interview was rescheduled by the Embassy, by about a week later. I'm not putting out the exact date on purpose, to protect her. Good news on her one ear, her hearing is coming back after starting therapy.

@Looky,

Hi, I haven't visited the VJ site for awhile mostly due to wedding planning. The big date is February 5 and Inday and I decided to "do it up big" rather than go for the justice of the peace option. So, trying to fit a typical years worth of planning into about 2 months is taking its toll time-wise.
Anyway, I am glad that I logged on today and saw your and your fiancee's status. I am almost daily thinking about you and Loreta and cheering you both on. I hope your finacee's health concerns will soon be abated and that she may continue to gain good and better health. Meantime, keep pressing onward for the prize, especially being so close to the goal.

--RK

P.S. Inday was surprised by rthe cold even though I warned her multiple times. Her idea of dressing warm for November arrival was a light sweater and her barefeet in sandals. Fortunately, my family met her at the airport with gloves, hat, scarf, and think overcoat. [She was still shivering wearing those!] Didn't think about the feet, however. The good news is that Inday adapted rather quickly to the colder temperatures.



Hey Congratulations RK, the 5th is not too far away!!! I imagine you two are quite busy and running around like chickens with their heads cut off right now, :lol: with all the arrangements and everything!!! Great!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Thats funny, with Inday's bare feet and all, I guess being from the Phillipines she probaly never been in really cold weather. Its good she's adjusting but I guess you need to let her build up her immunity to things like the flu and all.

Thanks for the cheers and thoughts RK! Everythings still going quite well for Loreta and I. I'm able to talk to her everyday now and all is looking good. She just got her passport photos taken again today cause I think the old ones are almost 9 months old. She thinks she has everything she needs for the interview but we'll go over everything this weekend to make sure she is all set!

Hope she gets better soon Looky, I'm an outsider too in this whole process :crying: I'm still in Peru trying to sell my apartment, but any day, hopefully sooner than later.
Your interview is pretty soon right? Tell Loreta to take extra care of her these days so nothing weird can happen again! Best wishes for you! :thumbs:


Thanks Dante, hope you get your apartment sold soon, so you can go to America soon! The K-1 Visa requires you to travel to the US before 6 months right, so make sure you don't miss that deadline.

Yes the interview is coming soon and I got all the updated documents to her. Yes every time she has to take a taxi, I ask her if she wore her seat belt so she doesn't forget. She lives in a safer area now and I'm asking her not to listen to her friends, if anything takes her focus off our goal. We are trying to be extra careful cause we know even I fell into some sort of scammers trap over there, people somehow got information on us. I think the scammers have given up but I'm letting her be aware, in case she gets calls from phone numbers she doesn't know.

They did an MRI and blood test on her to make sure the hearing problem wasn't due to cancer, and fortunately it wasn't and now she is getting some therapy done for her ear. We actually wanted to get her here closer to Spring/Summer time when its warm here, so we're not off schedule.

Best wishes to you too, and I really think we will get this done this time!

Hope all is going great for March filers. There are a few straglers like Andie and me but I think most others are in the US by now.

As for Loreta and I, we are still moving along smoothly. Loreta is still having some issues, like just last Thursday she lost hearing in her right ear. Hopefully its only temporary, she'll see a doctor on Monday. In any case she will get to the interview on the 27th.

Another good thing for us, I got tired of the temporary Sim card she uses in Cyprus cause the phone connections from the US are horrible at best! I got her an international sim card like the one I use when I go out of the US, so now she and I can call each other whenever we feel like with no worries about whether we'll get a connection!

Looky, the writing on the wall is screaming get her OUT of that place! Really, you seem to have been moving heaven and earth to make this work, and sometimes things are insurmountable, but it doesn't stop us from doing it anyway,, no matter how difficult.


As the song goes Thea, 'you can't hurry love, you just have to wait'. She can do this interview on her own and doesn't need me to babysit her on that. If she doesn't get to the interview this time, then the COs are right she doesn't want to go to America. That said, I think she will get to the interview and I just have to trust her word.

Thea you have to understand that everything is going very smoothly. I can't force her, she has to go at the pace that she feels comfortable at, or it could end up all flying back in my face. She lives in Cyprus for a reason, its warm and her system doesn't handle freezing cold weather too well. I think she could learn to handle a gradual change but putting a shock into her system like going from warm to freezing cold, in America, all of a sudden is just asking for trouble, especially when I would have only 3 months to make that ever-lasting impression on her.

I really do appreciate your concerns, but now I can only keep talking to her, and hope everything keeps going smoothly. (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch 2011 Filers..

Looky, is there any way that you can fly over there, and go to the interview with her from her home? I hate that she keeps running into all these mishaps, and I know if it was me, I'd be scared and anxious to go again, dreading what else could go wrong. The support that you could give her would be priceless, and it would go a long way at the interview to know that you went with her every step of the way this time.


I thought about that a lot Thea, and also talked to her about it but we are thinking its not worth it this time. I'll mention it to her again next time I talk to her.

The thing is I just went and got in a big mess trying to find out what happened to her and salvage this whole process. I already have plans to go over there once she gets the Visa, to bring her to America with the dog.

I think she will be fine cause she got a hint of what she might have to deal with when she talked to the guy at the embassy and he got a bit sarcastic with her, but she says she'll be able to handle the interview. Plus after my recent trip she would rather I just come there after the interview and closer to the Spring when its warming up in America.

She already knows what I went through and what I am doing to keep things alive for us. I think she'll be fine this time and I'm trying to sink it into her mind so she doesn't forget this time. "Don't forget to wear your seat belt when you get in that taxi"!

I found out when I went there what a scary sort of place she was living in! Had I known, I would have had her move. She has moved now to a much nicer area, so I don't fear somebody stealing her money this time.

Thanks Thea, but I'm thinking, if something went wrong again this time, it would be time to take a good look at the writing on the wall.

Well the Embassy was pretty quick to send the interview date of January 2nd. I had to call them and tell them that was way too soon! Anyway we settled on January 27th.

She still has some brief mild, dizzyness and/or headaches in the mornings but they're getting better. I think this third time will be the charm!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA 2!!

It took a reasonable 116 days and now my fiance SMS'd me that we've gotten the "I-797 Notice of Action: The above petition has been approved" in the mail. :dance: . Reasonable because I assumed it would be a much longer wait because we were processed through Vermont but there it is. Thank you all VJ'ers for helping people out. I can't believe four months ago when I found this site that I was so misguided about what marrying a USC meant. I know that the hard part is still to come (and I'll probably come to you with questions) but step one is over, thank God. It's a good day.


Congratulations!!! Good luck the rest of the way. :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm whining! I want my NOA2 and I'm a March filer!

 

<br><br>That's what the Customer Rep told my fiance when he called USCIS, others got luckier than us. We are still in our 5months mark and we are advise to call them back after Aug. 8 if we haven't received our NOA2. So, my fiance said, stop being paranoid, get a grip, August is just around the corner...yeah yeah! if I know he is worried as I am...haha! :P ....I will accept even RFE just to know they are working on my case :P but hopefully no RFE because we ran out of evidences to show....we already sent everything w/ them...Oh man, I can't wait to dance under the rain..get wild and wet! =))

How's ur RFE btw? have u sent it back? Hope u will get ur NOA2 soon...&gt;:D&lt;


Thats what I thought too, I ran out of evidence, but luckily not the kind they asked for, I still had the evidence to muster a big fat NO for them. People always say they will be happy with RFE but in the end the fact is if you don't get RFE, in most cases you will be approved a month faster than if you get an RFE.

Yes as far as me, I got my status updated and email, while I was sleeping last night, they received my RFE and now my status is RFE Review. How long it could take to process a Yes/NO question is beyond my comprehension ability and hopefully they don't dive into my petition and try to find another place to RFE me! :bonk: :lol:

Maybe you need to do some rain dances to get the rain going and then your NOA2 will come so you can go dance in the rain! :rofl:

I'm whining again! :((


Good luck Jan, I can see this is taking a toll on you. The big problem is, you don't know what batch of adjucators your petition got stuck with, and how backlogged they are. So right from the start its sort of the luck of the straw you drew. If you can, try to look on the bright side, you haven't gotten an RFE yet, and March cases have just started to get processed, so its still quite possible that any day or week now your tune will change and you will be dancing in the streets even while it is raining and you are soaking wet! :lol:

At first the embassy told us that they gonna have a background check and document verification. When we emailed them over and over again, they said that the consul needs to be satisfied of our relationship. Kinda scary it sounds like they dont believe us. I had so much proof to show but they didnt even ask for it during my interview.


Wow, did the give you an opportunity to send in that evidence that you had (the ones that they didn't ask for in the interview)? How about when you first sent in the petition was there plenty of evidence in that? It sounds like something made them suspicious. I guess if you have good solid evidence they haven't seen maybe the petitioner should find out if they will accept that. Well good luck and fight this out and hopefully you are out of AP soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm whining! I want my NOA2 and I'm a March filer!

Its quite likely that you will have your NOA2 before start of October. NVC will only send out to the consulate based on your NOA2. So I mean they have to know at the consulate that you received it otherwise they would not even be talking to you or sending you packet 3.

Ask others who did their interview there in the Phillipines whether they were even asked to show a copy of their NOA2. Of course you should have it just in case but I hardly think its likely that you get put on AP for not having it.

But if it ends up that way I mean wouldn't it be worth it to delay his vacation for the month or so until you get the NOA2?


Oops! This got screwed up! I just added ask people who did theor interview in Phillipines if they needed to show their NOA2.

Wow crossing deserts, climbing mountains and swimming the pacific is quite a feat when you are 8 years pregnant! Have you contacted the Guiness Book of World Records cause that must be a world record! Oh what we go through for our partners!

Don't understand about the vacation part. A vacation is not at all a vacation if you end up missing out on getting the K1 process done, to be together permanently. Don't know whether a copy of the NOA2 is officially required for the interview, probably not, but I would definitely send a copy of it to my fiance before the interview.

You mean your case isn't in the online system? You should have the USC petitioner call USCIS and ask the person you need to speak to a tier 2 officer. The tier 2 guys have computer access and tell you at least if your case is in the system or not and if there are any updates. Good luck!

Not being sarcastic sorry if came across that way. People want to whine as I did. Free and happy for it. I know how it is to wait with no idea.... I am just saying right now is not a good time for NOA2. Something is broke at NVC in processing applications. Right now I feel worse in limbo then before. At least when in waiting for NOA2, I KNEW my application was at the USCIS. Now my application is neither at USCIS or recieved at NVC. Until my applications re-appears somewhere, I have no idea where I am. the sad part is this is true of most CSC people in the last 5 weeks. If you take that in total. That is about 2,500 to 5,000 applications in limbo. I know you want the approval. and I hope it comes soon. I just hope NVC is fixed by the time you get the approval. Don't want to see you sit for another month or longer wondering where the application disappeared to.


I know the feeling, The last time I applied I was approved in 2007, and the lonliest no-mans land feel was waiting for it to get to the NVC and what made it worse is that NVC didn't get it even after 1.5 - 2 months. Contacted the embassy they don't have it contact USCIS they say we sent it out, our job is done, NVC tells me to contact USCIS. Finally I contacted my congeressman and in a matter of a week I got a letter from him and later a letter from the VSC director that they put the petition in an 'Offsite Storage Facility' hmmmm, can you say trash can, but finally they reapproved the petition again and this time it actually got to NVC!

I've alreadty ran into two cases lately, these past 2 months, where the same case happened.
So just saying watch out, you're never home free until the 'Fat lady Sings'!

True most didnt wait so long just us, hope no one will ahve to wait as we did... We will find this next week after we make the call how things are, will let you all know what they said. Hope we will have the answer we want.. Good luck to everyone!


Good luck Lavi, sometimes there's no rhyme or reason. Who knows maybe you got the unlucky straw from the beginning and got stuck in the backlogged adjucators pile, or you got a common name that matched in their database and it took longer to unmatch it.

In any case hope the wait ends for you soon!

Our RFE for that question also.We was waiting for NOA2 over 3 weeks after sent it


Hi E&P I didn't quite get that, are you saying its been over 3 weeks and you still haven't gotten NOA2? I was doing a search here and looking through the RFE Master thread. It seems most people who got this for RFE had to wait about a month, so hopefully it'll happen soon.

Yes the 60 days are after the RFE was snet back to them... we will do that next week. Hope they just forgot about us and that is all :(. Thank you


I just recently got an RFE for that question too, it seems several people here missed it too. I am wondering if they start the background checks around then, and so they want to verify that answer about criminal activity first. Don't know for sure, but background checks are a big variability in the time it takes, especially if the name checks bring up possible matches and they have to dig a little deeper.

Thank you Looky. I'll keep my hair braided till I get there in the US :D and oh, I just saw you had an RFE. But thats no biggie, for sure you and your woman can comply all the documents that was being asked. And once its done, NOA2 will come your way :)


Thanks, Kish, it turned out to be a bumble on my part cause I missed a yes or no question! I"ve already answered NO this morning to whether I've ever been convicted for criminal activity, violence, murder and all that other crazy stuff! Yes its very true that I've never done any of that stuff in this life, and I want to think in none of my past lives also! :rofl:

SO I'll be sending it to Vermont certified as soon as I can break from work to the post office!

Great job getting your visa, enjoy!!! :dance:
