Hi All,
I've been following this thread, agonizing over how much longer it will take for us October filers.
I just wanted to give you all hope, as I just received the email that our NOA2 was sent out today!
Our NOA1 was dated Oct 12, 2010 and we never had any touches. Now on to scheduling the interview..
Best of luck to everyone, I hope this means the October people are well on their way!


Thats great I am happy for you!!

They also just approved another February filer...

Yup, yup I have been diligently following "the list" and I am so excited that they are working on Sept 28th petitions!!! :dance: Hopefully within the next week we will start to see Octoberite's petitions start to pop out!!

I have also been following our VSC counterparts and Vermont is only processing early August petitions. I hope for their sake that the someone lights a fire under VSC #### and gets things moving. :angry:

With a big THANKS to Curvebell, I did a bit of googling. :yes:

If anyone wants to get a jump on their medical, here is the link to the Service of Consular Affairs. Select your respective Embassy and it will give you a list of designated physicians, labs and x-ray clinics.

I'm hoping it's going to be 1 - 1.5 weeks! fingers crossed haha.

Also, I had my medical done today - doctor said you don't even need a case number. Got my Police Certificate too, now all I need is NOA2! ha!

Fingers and toes crossed for all of us!

Just curious on your medical...is there a checklist or form that the MD needs to sign? If so, where did you find it!?!? Thanks!!

Today I received our I129F which returned to us in the mail, rejected. Reason, address not provided on part B.
So I went through it, clearly noted is "*see attachment"....on the attachment there is a hmmmmmmm complete address!!
Morons!!! I was so mad I was seeing RED!! Funny that they reconized the rest of the information on the attached sheet. So, I will add a nice little note when I send my packet back on Monday. Sweetness gets us farther, right?!

I was excited to find out that we now have a case number and I already made an account on the USCIS site. Yay!! Here is for a NOA1 at the end of the week!!!



I posted this...I guess I made two accounts?!?!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSerious Stress...

I am a generally patient person I think but this is driving me mental... How do you guys deal with your stress? The wait is taking its toll on our relationship. It's hard to spend all this time on the phone and online and keep up a normal schedule.

This month the time changes here in Wisconsin and I will be an hour AHEAD of Carlos in El Salvador and that makes it even harder!! I work 6a-2:30p and 10 hours of mandatory overtime per week.

The worst part about this whole thing is his dad is the Deputy Chief of the USCIS Forms Center West and he can't even help us expedite anything. :(

Give me your ideas on how to get thru this trying time... :bonk:


There is no doubt that is process sucks. Each day without the one we love is excrutiating torture. We skype a lot, seeing each other face to face helps to ease the pain somewhat. We even bring our laptops to bed and fall asleep together. We play online games!
We also each have skype on our cellphones which allows us to call and text without incurring charges. I don't know what area of ES your fiancee lives and as you probably know internet coverage can be sketchy.

Hang in there, you are not alone in this process!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 2010 K1 Filers
Hola amigos!

I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with their WAC# not being found when entered into the "Case Status" box? I tried and tried to no avail and I also noticied that my fiance's country of birth was listed as "unknown" on the NOA1. So I made a phone call; I called the military number and talked with a pleasant lady who updated the information but she could not find our WAC# and I was routed to some idiot at CSC. All I was inquiring about was if our account was valid and why it wasn't showing up online. He treated me like I was a moron, "well you know it take 5 months to process". Well duh!!! :bonk: Seriously!?!?!

Long story short it can take up to a week for the system to update and show the information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-235A clarification
I am getting ready to send in the 129-F. As we were reviewing the G-325A there are places where the addresses did not fit into the alotted space, I also have two jobs which the form allows only dates...I can't add "present".

My question is, is it ok to provide a supplemental paper to this form and also to put "see attached" in the corresponding boxes.

Thanks in advance for your help! B-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDivorce date
You shouldn't have a problem. The only thing that they are looking for in this matter is that you are legally free to marry. My fiance and I are in the same boat; he was separated a year before we met then filed for the divorce two months after we met. His divorce was a 10 month process. I am filing the I129f now with his September divorce date. Good luck! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFile sent Sept 23rd.. still waiting to hear back..
Kiwi...you should definately call and check the status especially since it has been over 30 days. It could be that your application went through and your NOA1 got lost in the mail or it could be that your application was returned to you for more infomation and it got lost in the mail. Lots of variables here.

Call and check, they should be able to give you your case number then you can track your status on the USCIS website. They will only contact you from the info on the G1145 when your NOA1 is completed.

I just have a question. We received our NOA2 on the 24th and I currently out of town for business and won't be able to go home for several more weeks. Is the NOA2 all that important that I should have a friend forward it to me or can I just wait until I get home?? Thanks!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134
Hi guys!!

I am filling out the I-134 and I am wondering about question 11. It is asking if you intend or do not intend to provide housing/financial assistance. I looked that the example forms and it just said "NA-K1 Visa process for permanent residence" and there wasn't a box checked. I am the sole sponsor. I will be providing my fiance with housing and I am sure that I will supply him with funds from time to time.

I was just wondering what everyone else used in this area. Thanks in advance!! :hehe: :wacko:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStill no NOA1 Notification received...
I was so excited for you when I read this, looks like you are back on track!! It never hurts to be proactive, right?! I am anxiously awaiting our NOA1 and it has only been five days since it was received!! It is nice to know that we are not alone in this process and others are going nuts just like I am!! :blink: :wacko:

An update from me.

I finally got my Fiance to call the USCIS today (calling the USCIS is NOT useless - we were very lucky he did call today). When he called to find out why the NOA1 was taking so long the person told him they were going to send it back to him because the application was missing a form (G-325a form - biographical form), when they checked it was there (they saw a "tab" on the one so thought there was only one copy instead of 4!!), and so said that they would process it today!! :( I'm so upset - that is two weeks of wasted time! So we now hope to get the NOA1 notification today or tomorrow!! Holding thumbs its today! WOW i'm super upset but I guess i should be happy that things will get moving now...

Good luck to everyone!! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssept. 19 and 20
I think it's probably related to the fiscal year. It seems that they have to probably close some paperwork down that takes them 2 months to finalize. And then they start all over again in the third week of October. Its annoying when approvals go so fast for months and then nothing for what is now nearly 2 months.

To answer your question no, there have been very few approvals since the start of August. CSC are still working on May so are about 5 months behind right now. Hurry up and wait is the key.
