K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhats the "order" of approval ??

Hello VJ er's!
 
     Trying to be patient and also keep a sense of humor during this long, sanity-testing process of obtaining a Fiance Visa. I filed the petition in April 2013. I am noticing almost daily that others are receiving their approvals even though they filed way after I did (am I just jealous?). How do "they" choose, or what is the process for approving one more quickly over another??
     I thought my petition was put together "flawless" and the way its described to do on here on VJ. I thought I had an impeccable background and stood out amongst others who have flaws, or issues in their characters or backgrounds, histories etc... Not to brag, but..... I was a 3.8 student in high school and college while obtaining my bachelors degree. I served my country in the US NAVY proudly and left with a honorable discharge. I served my state and community proudly through 21 years of law enforcement, and now live on a very good pension which is more then enough to support a wife and family. I have never had a criminal background, or any form of financial difficulty such as a bad credit rating, foreclosure, bankruptcy etc... I have never been married before and have no children. I guess the worst thing on my record is a speeding ticket in my whole entire life of 54 years. And my one "SIN" in life......I hate to have to admit it.....chocolate!!! Yes, I'm going to hell for that!!
     Now for my "lighter" side.....I have never been married, arrested, divorced, or stole a candy bar from Walmart. No children = no child support issues. I have never coveted my neighbors wife or daughter. I have never taken, smoked or inhaled any illegal substance. I have never owed anyone more than I have ever earned, or had enough in my bank account to pay for it. I occasionally but rarely used the words "damn" or the "F" and "B" words. I do "only" go to church once a week instead of the 7 days of the week that the majority of people go. I do vote every election and pay my taxes every year. I did have a garage sale this summer and gave my profits to a needy family instead of depositing them in my bank account. I do cut my grass and plant flowers in my yard. And, I always put out cookies and milk for Santa Claus when he visits my house on early Christmas morning. I guess I need to put out lettuce for the Easter Bunny's annual visit??
     OK, you're right.....yes I have lived a boring life (ha, ha). But one thing IS for sure....I love my baby Gina in The Philippines and want to marry her! Met her on-line in September 2012, and lived with her 4 months in Cebu from December till April. I guess I'm just "venting" here, and like previously stated - "jealous" of others, and frustrated at ours not being approved. But yes, I am curious - really am, as to how others get chosen so quickly, and "out of order" over others???? I appreciate your answers and your own thoughts and concerns....fire away!!! And may God bless us all.






We are January 2013 filers and are still waiting patiently... My fiance has served US Navy too and still working with their department till now and has clean history/background and chocolate addict too!.,! Hope u hear news soon.. Goodluck to you and your Gina..... ( i believe she's bisaya) ....say hi to her!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInteview date set

Finally have my fiancés interview date set for next month! Can't believe this is finally going to happen for us! We started our visa journey last December and I'm still in shock that we are finally at this point. I was very surprised to find out how quick and soon you can make the appointment for the interview in Manila. I thought there would be a longer wait. I could have booked it next week if we had everything ready! So anyone out there getting ready to see the consulate, get your paperwork together because it doesn't take long after you pay the visa app fee.
Thanks to all you VJ members out there. This site sure helps a lot if only for all the support and knowing there are 'many' couples out there in the same shoes as us! I sure look forward to writing a review on the interview/medical/CFO soon!
Good luck everyone!



Congrats and happy for u...You are very near to be together..i will wait for your post on your interview review........ God bless

aww here we go finally :-) my case is its on the way to C0 i plan to pay the visa tomorow so i can know my interview date :-)



Goodluck on your interview!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this a possible RFE

Thank you all! :D Don't you think that it may also depend on who is processing the petition? Like it varies depending on the person that is actually handling each case?



I think so .... It depends on the person reviewing ur case...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAlmost 7 months :-(
Hi all, is there any january filer still waiting fir NOA2? After we sent our RFE still no update about our case... We are getting frustrated already :-( our son just got out from hospital 3 weeks ago due to dengue fever, it's hard to be geographically separated esp if their is a baby that needs his dad..... I worried so much, my fiance is so stressed everyday crying bcoz he can't just look at our son on skype growing up... I dont know why it takes so long for them to update or review our case. It's more frustrating that i seen march-june filers that got approved, i'm happy for you guys but i just dont understand how they process when they say it's first in first out...
Sorry about my post.....just frustrated ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally our turn has come

Hi babe <3..... I love you so much. I cannot tell you how relieved I am and how happy I am that we finally got our approval. It has been such a long wait. We have faced many trials and tribulations along this journey. All of it a test of our sincere love. We have passed the test...... I love you. I cannot wait to hold you and the kids again. I miss you.

I pray for all the other journey members here that have just begun this long wait. Please be patient with each other. It is stressful for both of you equally. Learn to listen to each other, and be kind to each other. When the waiting seems to be too much...talk to each other. Be sure to remind your loved one how much they mean.

Ku Uipo.........I LOVE YOU BABE. MWAH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND PATIENCE THROUGH THIS WAITING. MWAH





This is the sweetest comment i've ever got!hahaha
I love you too babe.... We are very close to be together... Can't wait! Xoxo

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCustoms expierence sending ring for K-1

Hello;
 
        I sent my finance in Manila, the document package for interview, & she also wanted me to send her the engagement ring. I sent them both to her through FedEx, for around $80.00. I was then notified that the package was stuck, at customs; & to make a long story short, they needed $206, for what I estimated to be $500 value ring. They ended up charging 211.66 for duties, & taxes, & 27.69 for Brokerage Ancillary Service Fees. I wasn't happy about it but paid the 239.35, which was almost half the value of the ring, but she did get the package.
       Now over a month later,  fedex sent me a record of an additional, $302.63, for Storage fee, $425.25, for deconsoidation fee,$89.27 value added tax, & $15.00 documentation fee, & a $1.04 service change. So an additional, $833.19, along with the $239.35. Total $1,072.54 for a ring I valued at $500. I agreed to the 239.35, but would of had them send it back or keep it, for an additional 833.19 which I never agreed to pay.
       This is supposed to be a broker as well, but I already paid a brokerage fee with the 239.35.
What's going on here?
 
Thanks, for any insight;
I'm pretty sick to my stomach, but can't talk to fedex until tomorrow.
Rob_D.









Mailing system here is insane! They charge more than the cost of the stuff u send!! My fiance biught a laptop for my father but if fedex play that game, i would rather tell him keep the laptop there and we can buy from here....

Yes that means you are approved and tour case is sent to NVC!

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

After all the months of waiting , reading the forums on the daily basis. More like checking my Facebook on this site.
I want to thank you all for the support and help My fiancé is now on a plane to Juarez and I am more nervous then she is. I have never been really religious but I have been asking the higher power for help and even more my parents who are no longer here. Oddly is that I work for the government but mostly I'd like to ask all of you to keep us in your prayer at night hoping all goes well for me and those still waiting . I have been waiting for so long for this time to arrive. Wish us luck. Thank you all. Tony




Congrats tony!! To God be the Glory
