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

Hi All,

This site has been very helpful to my fiancee and I. I recieved the approval for K1 petition on June 30th. The notice said that the petition is forward to the consulate listed. However, there was know consulate listed on the NOA2 reciept. I am currious to know if the petition was forwarded to Ghana as that was the consulate I put on the 129F. I called NVC last week and they had no record of my peition. I was told to call back in 15 business days. Did any have a similar experience?


Congratulations!!! Lots of people have the same experience. It can take a couple weeks for NVC to get it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE

Yes they were listed that is why I don't understand why we got a rfe. It's like they didn't bother to look at the form completely. Also her mail goes to the hospital. We also sent in the hotel receipt that GG paid for.


Don't really no but definitely do what they ask and write a complete explanation of how she works and lives there and all that. Maybe they need double confirmation from you. Yes it seems sometimes they overlook things. Also remember Jordan may fall under the set of countries that they look at your application much more strictly for.
LookyWhatIFoundMaleUnited Kingdom2011-08-06 08:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE

We got our rfe today. Since our I-129F form states that GG is from Phil they want proof that she was in Jordan when I traveled there. She is on a work visa in Jordan. She hasn't been to Phil since July '09.

Basically here is what we are going to do to prove that she was in Jordan in April 2011.

We are going to get a letter from her employer stating that she was in Jordan in April of 2011.

Her work certificate.

Photocopy of her Work ID

Her residence visa photocopy

Photocopy of passport entry to Jordan stamp

Uscis said to include a cover letter explaining her situation and include passport stamps ticket stubs and pictures again.

Anyone else have any suggestions of how to prove this? Thanks.


Did you list her address in Jordan on her G-325A and/or I-129F. It sounds like you didn't. Does she get mail at her address in Jordan? You can probably also have her scan these envelopes with her name and address on then and have her email them to you. Any receipt or tickets traveling together will work also. It sounds like you have good proof already like employment letter there and proof of residency there and all that.

Thats something that they definitely need to know, good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm hitting 5months mark on Monday...

Give it 30 days. If the standard is five months, then yours may take an extra week or two. Especially if you've already called the Service Center more than once (do they flag the files for frequent callers? would they move yours to the bottom of the pile?).

Think of your senator as a wild card. If you use it more than once, it starts to lose some of its "shock and awe" value. Try not to call the senator until you absolutely have to. (Having said that, it's your right to call your senator or congressman whenever you wish.)

Care,
Bill


I would agree. But don't worry about frequent calls to customer service, the calls don't effect your petition at VSC.

Jan you really have to wait a month after average processing after which the customer service center can send a request in to VSC to expedite your case. Before that the senator or congressman can only tell you to wait another month cause your case will most likely get processed in that time.

Like Bill said you don't want to use your congressman or senator until really necessary cause of the "Boy who cried wolf" factor, as in don't scream until you know the wolf is after you! ;)

Congratuations Lavi!!! Can't believe they put you on hold for over 2 months after the same RFE I got, and my NOA2 only took 3 weeks after the RFE. It seems like only name checks could have caused that delay. Well anyway good luck the rest of the way!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved :-) Way to go Vermont

Just checked USCIS. Approved I-129F!!! NOA2 mailed on August 15, 2011.
NOA1 date was May 4, 2011.

Total of 103 days from NOA1 to NOA2.

It looks as though I am the first May approval on VJ from Vermont.

In case anyone wants to know, my packet was 250+ pages. Perhaps more is better.

Also, I check USCIS every few days, the last time I checked was on Thursday. As of Thursday, I got the usual "We cannot find your case in our system." This evening was just awesome news!!! Yayyyy!!!! Go Vermont :-)


Congratulations, good luck the rest of the way!!!

The number is 113 not 500


Well then I really don't know it was a guess on my part cause my NOA2 has my fiances last 3 digits as 500 which didn't look real to me. I don't know maybe you can scedule a INFOPASS appointment with you local USCIS office and ask them this question?

:help: The number A # of the noa2 is also in my visa, but the last three numbers on the visa are different, which I have to usem in the Form I-485??


I think the last 3 numbers on the NOA2 are not real, its 500 isn't it? I think the one on the Visa is most probably right.

Congratulations you are approved. She was in and out of the consulate in less than an hour. Her interview took less than 5 minutes. The VO told her it was very clear we had done our homework.

Wow!!!! I called the Military Help Line Aug 29, 2011 about 10:00pm Kyrgyzstan time and asked about the qualifying factors for "expedited processing" I told them that I was on a military deployment in Kyrgyzstan and was due to leave in 2 months. I got a reference number from them over the phone. They submitted the request for expediting and explained to me that it may take 5 days for a response. Today Aug 31 2011 at 4:00am Kyrgyzstan time I received an email from USCIS that the "Expedite was approved! 2 hours and 15 minutes later...another email from USCIS...I-129f APPROVED!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUnknown USA Address

Hi everyone,

On my DS230 and other accompanying Packet 3 documents, I have put Unknown as my address that I will be staying at when I am approved. This is because my fiance is currently living with his parents in an effort to save extra money, and will look for an apartment for us when I've got my visa in hand.

Will this be ok at my interview? I figure they tell us on the form not to action anything massive until we've been approved... I'll be able to let them know before I enter the country - will this suffice?


I wouldn't do that. I suggest putting down the parents address where he is living now. They need to have a physical address. As long as they can match his address with yours, its fine. You can change your address later, but I think to put UNKNOWN is asking for trouble.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsco-sponsor

Hi everyone, I wanted to know more about sponsoring the person....I just started working so I knew that I would be needing a co-sponsor, which I have plenty in line ready to help with that. My question is (maybe i's a silly one, just want to make sure though), do both myself and the co-sponsor have to qualify for the "over poverty level" line or just one of us have to. I know for now since I just started working I don't qualify but my co-cponsor does, would it be a problem because I don't qualify now?..Please answer..thanks a million guys!!


The co-sponsor has to qualify for over the poverty line, including all his/her dependents including you. The reason you have to get a co-sponspr is that you don't qualify. Both you and the co-sponsor have to fill their own I-134 and supporting documents. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscalling cards

I guess that's true, so do you suggest calling the calling card company's to get a call log sent out?


Well I don't know, does your calling card company keep call logs? If they don't and you still have time before your NOA2 I would suggest finding a calling card that gives you access to your call logs. I use one of the cards from zaptel.com , all their cards don't provide call logs so you have to do a search on their site. I use the Flying Colors card, it provides online call logs which I print out.

Good luck.

Just curious but how do a stack of calling cards prove that you called your fiance with them? Some calling cards provide access to your call logs. Without call logs there's not much proof of anything other than you called somebody, is there?
