K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril Filers - NVC to Interview
QUOTE (BRH @ Aug 23 2007, 04:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I try to find some solace in the fact that those behind us will likely suffer even MORE! Although our timing was bad,..........perhaps not as bad as the ones behind us. To this extent we might consider ourselves a tiny bit lucky.....hahahahaha.


And I am hoping that because of the two bottlenecks we April batch had to go through, our respective Embassies will be setting up fewer interviews right before our cases are received, so we might actually get our interview dates faster than the folks before us.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril Filers - NVC to Interview
My fiance called NVC yesterday, they said they were wrapping up our case but the new case # was not issued yet. They say the # is assigned just before the case is shipped to the embassy, which should happen early next week. Also, they mention that there actually IS a time limit on NVC processing, which is 4 weeks. Except, I guess, for those cases which are seriously screwed and go into lengthy A/R.

One question though, have either of you had a previous petition or been denied a Visa in the past? It is pretty common for an "Administrative Review" (most are very short duration) to happen if this is the case.

No but I have two prior trips to US, one on J1 (long ago) and one on B1 (recent) visa. Perhaps this causes extended security checks.

Ours was received by NVC on August 9th and is still under review. I wonder if it's a bad sign - usually if everything's OK they send it out almost immediately, no?

Why do you guys think it takes such different time for petitions to arrive to NVC? Seems like some arrive in 1 week and some in 3. Are they accumulated and mailed off in batches?

CONGRATS Blues Fairy and DeeZee!! It's about dang time for you guys!! Fellow April 10 NOA1ers! I'm so happy for you!!

Thank you my friend, it was about time indeed! Exactly a month later than I had expected. :)
Actually my fiance was in contact with a sub-manager at CSC just before that, and kicked his a$$ big time. The guy promised to handle our application personally. Approval notice appeared on the same day.

See, if you don't keep kicking them they never move... :angry:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL Filers!!
My fiance called USCIS and was attended to by a fairly helpful lady who repeated the old news about the delay caused by the failed immigration bill. Apparently lots of Senators are hassling USCIS to issue more work visas for their states etc. He managed to talk her into giving our file a quick look over to see if there would be anything that could pose a problem when it is finally given the attention it deserves. She happily obliged, and after some minutes informed that things looked great, in fact, one of the better applications she had ever seen! So that’s something, I guess. Not the best of news, but most assuredly not the worst.

Sorry to disappoint you but it actually makes more sense to count the waiting time from the date of NOA-1. We are "technically" March filers but got NOA-1 on April 10 and were generally in synch with the April bunch. The US-Sickos don't even officially recognize the existence of your file until they issue the first notice.

For those July and August filers who already got their NOA2, I congratulate you guys. I'm happy because finally in a matter of few days you will going to be with your love ones. As for me, I keep waiting and waiting. Long waiting is real frustrating. I don't have any idea what is going on with USCIS or Vermont. Don't have any idea why it's already been more than 4 months now yet, I haven't got any touch, e-mail or anything. I don't know if my application is long been sleeping in the cabinet of a certain officer or perhaps it was missing, lost or forgotten.

But I keep trusting in the blessing of the Lord that one day He will deliver my NOA2.

Again, wishing all the luck those applications that were approved.

God bless good.gif

I wouldn't worry until 6 months has passed. Some apps. take longer than others....for no good reason.

I watch IGORS list because,, well,, there is not much else to do. It seems like over the past 2 - 3 weeks they have been moving right along with about 30+ IGORS approvals per week. This fits right in line with my estimated NOA2 date and the standard processing timeline.

It was an especially nice day to break into the 300's and see them processing a 10/1/08 case! smile.gif

What is your take on things?

10/1/08, Really?! That's great my NOA1 is 10/31.

I have an e-mail saying that they sent my NOA 2 and a letter saying that the petition has gone to NVC. But I haven't seen the NOA 2 yet and when I call the NVC they don't have the petition. According to the guides I'm still within a reasonable time frame to get it though......Barely. 10 more days then I'll start investigating.

I think no news would be better than half-a$$ news

QUOTE (US math guy @ Apr 30 2009, 04:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My wife in Monterrey, Mexico is telling me that many offices, including government offices, are working at a reduced pace to minimize their flu exposure. She says that in her own local goverment office, the current schedule is to work one day and then take off one day, and so forth. She was not clear about whether they are actually receiving government clients in their offices, though she did confirm the school are closed until May 6 for the students. Teachers and security guards are busy thoroughly cleaning the classrooms -- sound like fun!! wink.gif

Knock-on-wood, maybe within the next week or so life will more or less return to normal by next week.

As some of you may know already, the Swine Flu is causing many to travel to or from Mexico. I just heard on the news that now people comming from Mexico are either getting checked by medical personal and up to prohibiding people comming from Mexico to enter the U.S. If any of you are in the process of a K-1 by visiting your fiancee during the process or using your AP, you may have to call or inform yourself before traveling.

Just a heads-up.


This is not a Adjustment of Status issue... moving to regional forum



yea, all airports are checking, i plan to go to mexico may,12 myself we already have one swine flu case here in n.c where i live today and none in the part of mexico im going i guess its to late the swine flu is here and there so, just keep it safe not going out when i get there and staying home lol washing my hands alot more

Hi guys and gals,
I just have a quick question about my wife's hair color. When we went to get our pictures taken for the passport and Gthree25 they said she should color her hair back to black. It's okay for me to have any hair color but she have to get her hair back to black. As of right now, the root of her hair is black and .... you know how it is when you color your hair and leave it for awhile. My question is, Can she go and get her hair color back or go back to black? Anyone have any problem with this? Thank you in advance.



well, it should not be a problem us women die are hair so much lol we need a new passport pic every month then, Who said she should paint her black?? If its really a problem where she looks totally differnt and you two are scared then just paint it black but this is the first time ever i heard somthing like this.

Ok, the the CD. J consulate's webpage gives information about all visas EXCEPT!!! the K3. This is disheartening to say the least. Does my wife need a police certificate from every city she has lived in? The mail in Mexico is less than reliable, and well, the police don't really ever arrest people in Mexico. We lived in Cancun for about 1 year, and she is waiting for the consulate to send her her package 3..I assume..but well, we are just more than confused. Any pointers..especially from people who might have dealt with Juarez?????
Thank you.
Tyson and Paloma



Well I found info on the juarez page and the visa page itself, and yes she does need the police certificate, Most of mexico used the police certificate for many things like geting a Job, Lisens and I.d ( to vote etc....) Best thing to do is ask where u she gets the I.D ( the elector ) its called and ask them where she can get the police report from, my husband is from monclova mexico and he has goting his from the police deparment or from where they do the lottery ( when u turn 18 they have this ball lottery thing to see if u get the ball that sends u to the milatery) Im sure your wife will know what im talking about. Now about every city im not sure but u may want to call but i think it is from the city she is in now sence most show all past arrest any why. But make sure you do get it b/c it is a must to have. ( my husband and i are geting everything 2gether and we have not even complte are case yet lol ) I have to say the hardest thing is geting the shoot record sad.gif sence mexico for some reson has not kept up with his are maybe his parents they are older people like 83 so God knows if they goting the shoots for him in the 1st place lol. Anyways yea ,the police cert. should not be to hard geting and the report is usally clean inless she killed are robed someone are has pee'ed in public lol ( As for the mail i think they send is dhl she should call the emassy to see if they sent it out .) And how, that way she can go her self to the office to check on it. * lol i hope i helped a little with my long post* She should had put your address as the choice of address it would had been easler and more realible.
