K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2009 Filers
Good morning all,

I am trying to be positive this week and hope for the following:

- NOA2 to arrive
- Hunny to leave Jordan and come to USA - No more Iraq

I have posted on my facebook asking all family and friends for a prayer ..

So we might want to do something different here, let's not only ask for a prayer, but whoever feel like lighting a candel please do this.
As many of the 20 some people are waiting .. I can only tell you how hard it is.

I looked over the weekend to see how long it takes for NOA2 to be approved after they recieve it. I got discouraged as many people never got answer after their RFE, not sure if they did not update their status or what...

I pary that most of the july folks get their NOA2 and fly to the next step..

Yours
Batta

This waiting game is killing me...

So my file was touched on 14th which I understood to update the case with my RFE.. Then on 15th which meant they are going to send me a mail notice.. but what on earth they touch my file this morning at 7 AM!!

Could it be true that I am going to hear something.. or just a way for them to play with our feelings...

I know everyone glad it is Friday.. but this means I have to wait for Monday to see what else will happen..

Sorry .. just venting over here...

Batta, I don't want to disappoint you but from what I've seen they process RFE's in 2-3 weeks minimum and it can go up to 2 or 3 months. sad.gif
Well, let's keep the "best data". I'm afraid calling right now would just be useless. Everybody says that calling is useless anyway.

If you want to check how long it can last, you just go on Igor's list and look at the people who got an RFE and you can see when they actually finally got their NOA2.

I'm sorry but I forgot, what was the RFE about? If that is the unchecked box, I'd say it's going to last 3 weeks max.


Our RFE was because we sent the Order of his previous divorce, not the certificate. He was divorced twice ( both only court wedding because he wanted to bring his brides from middle east). In both cases he divorced before they arrived to canada.

Stupid me when putting package together, I included the order for the 2nd one but not the certificate.. so actually it is a matter of showing court he is single again..

Hello,
Now that I am back in the states.. and he is still in Jordan finishing some business. I hope he will be here in 2 weeks,, I pray for that..

Still not decided if I need to move the case from Jordan embassy to Canada or not. I think after speaking with someone it seems Canada Vancover would be best. I will have to email them to check.

Since my dad choise snail mail.. they recieved the RFE on Oct 10th and it is signed.
I checked the site nothing happened to my file..

Do you think I should call them or allow few days and wait? How long does it take after an RFE recieved?

Help... I am running out of paitent..

Hi,
So we sent our RFE yesterday.. thank god to internet and having all papers with us.

I just want to know what will it take to change the consulate location from Jordan to Toronato Canada? Is it hard? should we wait till we are approved or we can do it now, will that cause more delay?

Let me know since I am clueless.

Thanks

Hi all,

Congrats to all for got their NOA2.. I am still waiting for that damn paper to come to my house in Texas. I traveled to Amman to see my fiancé who left his APO to finish some business in Jordan. It is nice to be here close to him because he keeps telling to be patient because we will know what RFE is is all about. Imagine telling a woman to wait.. It is like giving her a Knife t stab herself...

I kept calling my Dad to check the mail box, 5 more hours and I will call again to see if it landed in my box... if not, then It better be there Monday.. How long it takes for a RFE letter to show up!

Tomorrow is Sunday will say a prayer to all..

Ok, I understand, it sucks. tongue.gif
Especially if you were expecting your NOA2 in the very next hours.

In 3 weeks, you'll have forgotten this and we'll do the NOA2 happy dance all together!


Oh gosh, waiting really sucks. smile.gif


I am sure it is something stupid.. Because I have read this website for 1 month before sending my package and I had my friend who went through this to screen it as well smile.gif

I just looked over package trying to see what on earth that I missed... suspense is killing me...

I pray that I can get mine this week or next, cause this can improve so much of the planning and his new job.

Middle East and North AfricaK-1 Forms required for P3
Hello,

I was wondering what is the P3 contain if we are applying in Amman Jordan.
Also does the P3 needs to be sent back to consular or can be brought along the interview.

I tried to track how long it takes for interview and I did not see many people who had register on this form, can you advise about the time line?

Thank you so much

Middle East and North AfricaNervous about the interview..
QUOTE (Resha~Adnan @ Dec 13 2009, 10:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah.. We didnt get married legally in Morocco but we did have a religious ceremony when I got there.. We announced it to all of his family and all in his neighborhood know us as married in Islam.. I know the consulate in Morocco is very hard on the men, and I know some of the Interviewers are very rude about some things... My fiances english is good to me, but maybe a few words are hard for others to understand.. We have alot of proof and alot of pictures with his family from both of my trips..



HI,

I am not sure if any one caught the mistake you mentioned in your post, but you should NEVER mention that you had a ceremony, because K-1 is only a finace application. If your partner mention this word in the interview or someone from the consulate visit this website and catch this post your case will be at trouble.

Remember K-1 is a finace. Therefore you recieved a RING and no documentation of a wedding or cermoney at any point.

I hope this will help.

Middle East and North AfricaEmbassy of Amman- Packet 3
Hello,

Update:
So I called DOS on Thursday asking about the response of embassy in regards to the word “review".
DOS said only note shows, that Embassy yet to schedule interview, and no other notes.

Fiancé emailed embassy and they responded by saying, packet 3 will be sent once interview is scheduled...

At this point we are waiting...

Middle East and North AfricaEmbassy of Amman- Packet 3
Hello,

So the embassy seems they responded to my fiance but not me :)

They told him that file in Amman and it is under review!
What kind of a review, it is a case sent by NVC and it was approved..

Again, they did not answer the Packet 3 question..

I will ask him to scan the form and send it by email, so no execuse, we will also send it by Aramx

I sent them email at 7 AM asking them to update his address since it is still wrong in system..so let's see if they will answer me..

So any thought on the review thing...

Middle East and North AfricaEmbassy of Amman- Packet 3
I just got through DOS and I was told that they have a note saying they are receiving our emails.

They also said they have a note about packet 3 not being sent, so I don't understand what they are waiting for.
DOS still showing the old address, although I have asked embassy to changed on several occasions to change it.

DOS told me to scan/ email the document required for packet 3, and also send it in mail.

I guess I will try this route and also try to email them to change our address again and ask about packet 3.

For extension I believe I can ask from now, but I hope I can get an appointment before that it is been a painful experience

Middle East and North AfricaEmbassy of Amman- Packet 3
Thank you so much for reply.

I am not in Jordan, so it is going to be hard to go pick up the document, though it is available online.

My frustration that I sent 3 e-mails so far asking them about packet 3 and if they are going to send us once because the last one sent by Baghdad we never received. I wish they can answer with "Yes" or "No"

Before the new years, I aw better response from the embassy, If I sent email at night US time when I wake up I will see an answer. Now since Jan, it is a different case, I had to send several emails for them to acknowledge case was received.

Therefore I don't know if the change was positive.

My fiancé tried again to send email and no response as of this morning. I will try to call embassy tomorrow and check..

Our NOA 2 will expire in 1 month and I don't know how this will effect.


Hope you ladies have a "Better" journey than me.

Middle East and North AfricaEmbassy of Amman- Packet 3
Hello folks,

I have a question in regards Packet 3.

Amman received our file which was transferred from Baghdad embassy on Jan 4th. Our NOA2 is to expire on Feb 19th and the Amman embassy said they will contact is once they set an interview date.

The problem I have is packet 3 was sent to the APO address of fiancé so he never received it. I told Amman this and I asked them twice since last week and today about if they are going to send a packet 3 or it is OK with the document we filled out from net.

They never responded and I am trying to figure out if we have to send document of packet 3 to the embassy or these are needed during the interview date.

Also how long it takes for interview to be set in Amman, these days they seems to be less busy because many of Iraqis had moved to Syria

Your response is greatly appreciated.

It is Sunny Day out here in Chicago.. But freezing..

I am trying to be optimistic and tell myself that soon will get an interview.
I just wonder what happened to the US embassy in Amman. 2010 started with slow slow slow response from Amman, they are not even answering emails, or ignoring the questions in the email.

I had questions in regard to expiring NOA2 and Packet 3, and it is been a week since my last email, yet nothing on their part.


DOS tells me the only note, that embassy will contact once they schedule an interview..


How can one contact the Ambassador?? Someone mention there was a change in the embassy.. Well it does not seem it is a Great change..

I hope Feb. is a better month too! Good day to everyone!

Batta, I don't know what is going on with the embassy. They must be short handed or something. I have been under AP for almost six months. Every now and then someone at DOS will tell me the last time the embassy updated something in the system. Last week I called and they said the last update was Jan. 7.
I got an email from the embassy this morning and they said that we are still under review.
I had a couple of people from the DOS tell me that the Amman embassy is very slow.
Hopefully we will both hear good news from them soon.



Well.. I could not hold myself and called DOS, and got same response, she even told me exactly what embassy sent to my fiancé in his email.

I decided to go with the Nahda office in Jordan, and now they are handling communication with Embassy, cause I believe my emails are going to the junk folder, or they set a rule in outlook where it get deleted automatically.


I really just need a date.. I was told by the Nahda office that queue now is about end of March or 1st week of April.

I pray for results for you, I and others this week..

Middle East and North AfricaMy Fiance Denied Visa Today in Casa
It seems we all had forgotten those in recent years with all the tension in Middle East and news about the terrorism, US immigration had gotten severe with their guidelines.

I know that for some marrying a woman, who is 15 years older does not sounds as a problem, but since 2001, US immigration had learned more about Middle East cultures and they do understand that 15 years is a great gap especially for a woman.

Most middle eastern men might say they don't want to have a child when they first meet an older woman, but when it hits the truth he will be looking to have a kid from his wife which will carry his family name.

If you both are in love and he wants a life time commitment, then go get married and file for that because then you will show that it was not just intended to come to the US.


My 2 cents
BattaFemaleJordan2010-02-03 13:13:00
Middle East and North Africadevistated...now what?
Gaeliza,
I am sure no word I or others can provide which can provide you with peace and comfort.
It is heart breaking to see what you have endured during the whole process and as you were close to celebrate an achievement you went into a down fall. You need to put your trust in God. There is a reason for everything and we could spend the rest of our lives trying to justify why things happened in a way we did not plan for it, yet we always tend to forget that God has power over us, and all we need is to trust in him.

Today, look at the bright side. No matter what is the reason for this break up, you are still at the beginning of the road.
Try to take a time off, recollect yourself and then start looking for options to work this issue.

If it was so easy for him to let you go, then this is not a true love, and if I were you, I would not need to spend my life with someone who does not want to stand up for me and himself.

I been where you were, and I can tell you.. when I look back at things happened, it was the best decision I made by breaking up an engagement, because I would have been dead by now..

Cheer up.. your friends are here for you..
