is it a Visa fraud?

He doesn't want to come as a turist with intentions to marry beforehand, he wants to come as a turist to meet her, period. Then he wants to go back home and start a K1 after they've met in person and decide on getting married.

Luis & Laura have it right.

Is Guam a US POE?

As of two years ago Guam is a POE. My wife went thru immigration there six years ago, and her mother almost two years ago. Both of them had positive experiences there. I was with my wife when she went thru, and her immigration stuff was done by an older Filipino gentleman who was very nice and polite.

I assume your using Continental which stops in Hawaii, anyway, customs will be done in Hawaii.

YuandDan,

Yes, Guam is a POE,....i activated my visa there, The Guam POE is generally a very nice bunch,...but very strict because of all the illegal drugs and waht-not that comes through Guam.

The same thing with the above poster aswell, i had my visa activated by a philippino guy, out in 5 minutes i was!

Requesting interview outside of fiance's own country?

altimixdj,

One US consulate is not the same as the next if for no other reason than one country is not the same as the next. The consulates are going to reflect the country in which they are located.

It would be reasonable for a visa applicant to apply at the US consulate in the country where they are residing if not in their country of citizenship. But it would not be reasonable for a visa applicant to shop around for a 'friendly' consulate. There are usually good reasons behind the policies and actions that make a consulate appear to be 'unfriendly', and another consulate is not going to want to deal with those problem issues just because a visa applicant wants to avoid them.

Yodrak

I tried searching around the forum and the USCIS website for an answer, but had no luck. I was wondering if it is mandatory that my fiancee' has to have her interview conducted at a US Consulate inside her own country? Or is it possible to write on I-129F another US Consulate outside her country? I only ask this question because Ukraine has only 1 US Consulate inside her country. It is in Kiev. I've heard very many undesirable things about this particular US Consulate. People that had gone through the US Consulate in Kiev said they would recommend going through a US Consulate in another nearby country. For example, Warsaw, Poland. Do I need good reason or must file something to ask state another US consulate outside of my fiance's country? Or will this throw up a red flag for wanting to have interview outside my fiancee's own country? I was under the impression that one US Consulate is the same as the next US Consulate as in any other country around the world. I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. I know I must not be the only person who must have this question in mind.

However, Yodrak, doing 'consulate shopping' is not a smiled upon action that they like either.

Yes my K3 Case has been touch, i know that 2 of those touches where because they updated my address
They Had it incomplete and they correct it that.

VSC is working with other types of cases since last week, K1 and others.
If you search here in the forum for other type of visas from vermont
you will see tons of approvals. We will know when they will resume with I-130 & I-129F when
people who filed to vermont start getting their approvals and they start to update their timelines.

yeah hope on the following weeks , before H1B petitions begin to be received in April @ each service center
Thats goona fill the queue again for them, i think thats 1 of reasons they want to clear as much possible room
for those H1B visa petitions since they have priority over all other types of visas!

Ok, so I just called the RFI number cause I'm not sure if i have an RFI or not. The automated system says that I do, but the customer service operator says no I don't.

I spoke to a woman who was SOOOOO nice! She was very detailed an explained things well...i was quite surprised. She wanted to know what the automated line specifically said about needing information...i told her. she said she did not see anything in her system, but she said she could see that my case was currently being processed with an adjucator!!!!

I about flipped my lid. She put me on hold to get more info. She said they are currently working on October petitions so all you Octies out there..ITS OUR TIME!!!

So hopefully there really isn't a RFI and I am soon to get an email from CRISS.

Well if you want to speak with and Oficial, you have to pass the crappy Representative, you can do this by telling
them that you havent received your noa for your I130 Application
Then they will forward you too an Oficial, you can get a Touch just requesting to check your address or if you want to change it!

Did you talked with and Oficial?
Or just the customer service jerks that read from website info?

Your Priority Date is the date that your Service Center received your petition!
If you sent on October and was received in October you are an October Filer
Nothing to do with the NOA Date!

QUOTE (carterlovej @ Mar 11 2008, 12:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm an October 2007 filer (receipt dated January 2008). I just got off the phone with a rep at CSC and he said that I am a January filer, not an October filer. This makes me sad. I don't even know if I really believe him, but it still all makes me so sad. The RFE line said I needed to submit additonal evidence, but I have never gotten a letter and the CSC rep said I didn't have to submit anything.

...Off to sulk now.

Thought I'd take a peek at this thread & can't believe that an October filer got an NOA2! There's people still waiting from last SUMMER waiting...many of us haven't even had a "touch" since October & we filed in August! Hang in there tho, they can't keep us waiting forever (even tho it feels like it!)...

jen

Seems lately they are approving cases at random, tho its probably not always the case. Have you called them about your case? If you haven't, pls do so.. if anything the call may produce a "touch" but who knows..it might get the ball rolling again on ur case. I hope so.

Yes, hang in there.
I am a Novemeber K-3 filer and my I-130 was approved on 6 March 2008. The I-129F was touched on 7 March 2008 (this may mean it is being cancelled). Stay positive.

Well they had the street name shorted out, no number of my house.
They only had the correct zip code and city.
Since that NOA is generated by a system it will be sent because it has a correct City and Zip code.
But when it reaches to the local post office automatically will be returned to USCIS, since it doesnt
included correct street name and number of the house.

Well i noticed that 1 of the K3 visa that i sent (The Most recent One) has been touched!
2/24/08 on system
2/26/08 Saw change on date and today 2/27/08

I think this one will be closed, since i sent K3 petition on November and never received noa
and when i called USCIS on 2/25/08 and spoke to Official Vazquez saw on system that the address was incompleted
thats why i never received my NOAs and sent another K3 Application on february 12 and also never received this NOA.
They corrected the error, but told me that they cant send another copy of NOA.

IM SORRY TO HEAR that... even though it was there fault from the start.. how can they send a incomplete address?? i hope things work out for you quick..

HI All,

This is a very nice effort by some one who created this thread,by this we can check out similar cases, now coming to point my wife sent i-130 petition on nov 7th and they received on nov 9th( as per usps tracking number).

As per the USCIS Application and Receipting Update of chicago lock box, the date we should get the receipt is passed,my wife called them on 1-800-375-5283 but there is no person respnding only automatic voice recorder is playing around.

can anybody help what i should do now.

Thanks in Advance.

Actually i called also today and the told me i have to wait until february 18th , they received my app on the 17th November, So i think you will have to wait until February 10th for the 90 deadline is established!
