met in person and ongoing relationship

I would say airline tickets and pics to prove you have met. Then also write a statement of how you met, when you met in person, and give them some insight into your relationship, like a chronoligical story.

between NOA1 and NOA2 - what to do

BT,
just try to sit back and not drive yourselves crazy...you're wait has been very short, and calling won't do you any good anyway. Incha Allah you'll have your approval soon.

Help! I have to cancel my wedding !!! ???

Alexander,
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. The delay in Washington might be that not you but someone with a similar name has gotten in some sort of trouble before. It's so hard to make plans only to have them shattered, but what can you do but wait. I wish for you that it's speedy so you can make that wedding date after all.

To get married while there's pending K1 application?!?!

Yep you would have to start over. That 130 and 129f approval was probably on a K3.

To get married while there's pending K1 application?!?!

hi everyone,

i saw Island_Princess recent post that she received her I130 & I129F approvals at the same time.

NVC Tracking-May 07 Approvals

Im just curious....
will it jeopardize or in any way will affect our K1 application if we're planning to get married in the Phils by this coming July?
according to VJ, our NOA2 might be adjucted by July 15,2007.
we just want to have this simple wedding ceremony since both our families are in the Phils. For sure you know how happy it will be - to celebrate this love with close friends & family.

any opinion will be highly appreciated...

thank you very much in advance!

If you get married you're abandoning your K1 process and have to start over. K1 is a fiance visa to bring your fiance and marry in the US. If you're married you have to file for a different type of visa. The one you saw with the approvals for I129f and I130 probably was K3 and married.
My advice is to wait with the marriage...or you will have wasted time and money.

question about my situation, please help

For your fiance not to be granted a visitors visa is pretty normal. He's an unemployed turkish male. I think the K1 is a good option for you. But you have to intend to marry him here within 90-days or he has to go back to Turkey. His income won't matter much to the consulate on the K-1, he doesn't have to prove ties to Turkey anymore, because he's intending to marry you within 90 days and remain in the US and you and your father have agreed to sponsor him.
What you will have to prove at the interview is the validity of your relationship. If he gets denied this time, it will be a long process, he can't just get another interview at will. The petition will be returned to the US and eventually expire, or it will be reviewed by the service center...depending where you file. So make sure, that you have everything in order when you do file for your K1. If I were you I would make some sort of wedding plans once he arrives, just so you can answer any questions they might have about your upcomming wedding, the plans don't have to be set in stone, really that's impossible anyway waiting for a visa and not knowing when it will be granted, but plan on marrying in the US and make sure that's what you both want. If you want to marry in Turkey, I would suggest your parents fly out to meet him there, then marry and file for K3/CR1.

For all you waiting. Let me see what I can
do to HOLD YOUR APPROVAL UP EVEN LONGER.

All you with your comments see where it
get you soon and see if your approved any time soon.!
No treat just my comment for you to see how much more
you can talk hot air.

APPOVALS COULD BE LONGER AND GOOD IF YOU GET APPROVED
BUT THAN WHAT LATER IF YOU DONT ..REMEMBER ME. LATER
WHEN YOUR WONDERING WHY ...
HAVE FUN TALKING AND HAVE A GOOD BS TIME ABOUT IT

it's on your dime and your waiting time to be approved
NOT MINE

TSC they dont need to be approved they need to wait longer
maybe another few months alright Dont help them
until they clam down and had time to think better

TSC take your time make them wait longer
it no sweat everybody while im here with my wife and your
all farting bitchening and complaining when it your fault
for complaining to much.. The jokes on you really ! ! ! !

for waiting filers

WOW this is supposed to be a helpful forum where we call all encourage each other and express our frustrations with the systems. If we didn't have this forum we wouldn't have anyone to lean on and offer advice during this process. You received your NOA2 in 173 days and many of us have been waiting a lot longer than that. If all you're going to do is berate the frustrated people on this forum, maybe you should just move on since this forum means nothing to you. Why don't you go on your broken english, psychotic rants in an NVC forum.

We don't need your negativity, THANKS.

Thanks Darnell.

To quote our letter received at the beginning of November:

"Your petition has been transferred to the Texas Processing Center to speed up the process"

It's a black hole alright. We WILL get out, but God alone knows when. I noticed no more approvals yesterday, or today on here.

I get so irritated everytime I see my transfer notice.

Yah right, I think they meant to say, " Speed up the process of EVERYONE else."

Grr I called today, the woman on the phone was pretty helpful. She also gave me the July 16th processing date over at TSC. I asked her what I was supposed to do next. JUST.KEEP.WAITING?

She said to call back in a week. At least she didn't tell me to call back 180 days from my transfer notice, sheesh. :blink:

Hi,
I emailed TSC last week and i heard nothing, then last MOnday i emailed the main office of USCIS and they were very fast, they forward my letter at TCS saying " FOR RESOLUTION PLEASE. THANK YOU." then TCS answered me back because of the USCIS main email.
TCS told me that our petition is still pending and awaiting for final review. Don't if this is good or what. Last Nov TCS mailed that we are still on Initial review the last december my cousin's friend contacted a senator (which is their friend) from NY and inquire my case and we found out that our case " for further review". and now we are awaiting for final review. Oh God please enlighten me

Cutiezoe,
I am just wondering what email address you used to email TSC. My NOA1 date is just a few days before yours, so maybe I should try emailing them too. This is the one I found: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov, is it correct? Thank yoU!

Did you mean 30-60 days or 30-160 as you wrote?

Sorry that's a horrible typo! 30-60 days :whistle:

So my congressman contacted USCIS @ TSC and they said they are processing the petitions 30-160 days from when they received them. They told the congressman's representative that they received my file on 11/18, which is weird, because it was transferred on 11/03/10. This means they are counting the days from 11/18, which I think is unfair, because that's not the date of my transfer notice. The congressional rep has to abide by those wait rules, so I guess it'll be up to another 60 days before anything can be done. She said at the least it's good that she inquired on the case because sometimes it gets them moving faster.

I sincerely hope that my application, along with ALL TSC filers are approved before their 60 day mark! :thumbs:

I need you guys' opinions: My 5 months mark is on 12/24 and I am planning on mailing out a letter to a senator on the 27th. Is that a good idea or should I wait a bit? I'm assuming I won't get a response from his office until a few weeks into January, anyway...

Thoughts?

I emailed my senator 3 days before my 5 month mark and got a response from their office 2 days later. They have already contacted USCIS on my behalf and it takes 24-48 hours for USCIS to get back to them. I don't think it hurts contacting your senator now. Most have an online point of contact so it makes it very quick and easy. Good luck!

Here's some info on the Ombudsman:

To help improve customer service, we seek feedback from our customers, stakeholders, and affiliated agencies to help identify issues that directly affect you. Email the Ombudsman Liaison Unit at OLUInquiries@dhs.gov. Please explain your concern, question, or suggestion as clearly as possible. Regrettably, we cannot post any inquiries online if they have case-specific or personal information in them.

I think I am going to email him, over and over and over and over. Maybe that will get me somewhere? I'm not yet to the 5 month mark, I've got a week left, BUT I think I will email him now, make light of the fact June/July filers were transferred, NOT approved but August/Sept/Oct filers have been approved. :bonk:

and then you will get the responses like wait another 60 days, or 120 days, or the 5 months is just a guideline.

Many people have had positive responses by contacting their congressman. I guess it just depends on who your congressman is.

I am in August filer the 14th to be exact. Do you think it would be smart to send a letter to my congresswoman in the middle of the month around my 4 month mark or do I have to wait until I'm at or rather close to my 5 month mark. I hope I'm not discouraging you as an August filer talking about this but we are all going through it!

Good luck to everyone (especially those who have past their 5 month mark) approvals are on their way!

I think you should wait until the 5 month mark, that's when the higher powers actually start to care, if at least a little bit. I am just over a week away from my 5 month mark and I will wait until that day to write my congressman. The USCIS says "5 months" on the site so there's no use contacting the congressman if you're still within the timeframe USCIS has given.

It seems though that August and September filers are getting approved before July filers, and July just ended up getting the short end of the stick. I bet you will be approved before your 5 month mark. But if it makes you feel better why not write the letter in case you need to send it on your 5 month date? I think I will do the same. :thumbs:

has there been more RFEs and denials than NOAs?
is it possible all "problems" got transferred to texas so we wouldnt slow cali down?

I think they just transferred certain clerks petitions for the month of July/August. I do not think they sent the problematic applications to TSC. I haven't had a "touch" since 7.26, but I'm not really worried about it, since they didn't even need to touch it to transfer it to TSC. I went over my application a few times and think I was pretty thorough. It just seems like there hasn't been any action whatsoever for July filers at TSC.

Here's to hoping we get some approvals over the next few weeks or USCIS is getting an earful! :bonk:
