I feel your pain! We are in the same boat, filing 12 Feb, although we did have an RFE too. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsis it true?? :(
That is the standard response and we are still waiting. Our 60 days will be up on 28 June, so if there is no approval by then I will be calling on 30 June. Our RFE was for a minor issue of not marking a box on the I-129F and would have been returned to VSC sooner had I not been in the Philippines for 3 weeks while the RFE was sitting in the Post Office. I have noticed that most hear something within a month or sooner after the service center recieves the reply. Good luck.

Did you already inquire about your case?
There's nothing to lose to call them, right?
Good luck!


I've called 2 times and get the same info thats on the website so they aren't a big help, but I will be calling on 30 June if I don't hear anything by then as that is 60 days after they received the RFE back. Thanks.

Waiting is hard, we all know and have experienced that. That is part of the process and nothing will change that. Since the VSC is handling your petition plan on 3 to 4 months. If you get an approval sooner then consider yourself lucky. Patience is needed in this endeavor or you will drive yourself crazy. Anyway, good luck in your journey.

Hmmm. So how did you even get the information about your case not being reviewed by an adjudicator? I have called that national number a handful of times and gotten absolutely no information of value on my case. I'm actually wondering why they even have a phone number to call in the first place.

My biggest problem is that there is no transparency. Why not just keep an updated case progress for each file online? Tell me what steps are being taken and how far along I am--and I mean more detail than what we get right now.

Anyway, I'll just keep calling periodically and checking online each day but good luck to you as well........I am truly kicking myself for not ensuring that the paperwork got filled out correctly the first time around...That was a big mistake.



I got that information because I was fortunate enough to have a very nice lady answer my call and did more than the usual unpleasant people manning their phones. Also, she was at the VSC, not the customer service center, who can't tell you anything about your case that you don't already know.

Hi,

I filed a 1-129F Petiton for my fiance on Feb 28, 2008 and the paperwork came back because I failed to check the criminal history box (which I still am shock about because I poured over the paperwork again and again before sending it). Now, just to be clear, I wasn't trying to hide anything--my fiance and I don't have any criminial history--I don't even have a speeding ticket to my name. So i sent back the paperwork corrected.

The next touch was April 29, 2008 saying Vermont Service Center received the paperwork and that I should expect a written decision within 60 days. I understand that's well within the overall 6 month processing times allotted.

Well, 60 days has passed and when I called the Customer Service, they said they'd request for a status from the service center but center has at least 30 days to respond to that request for status.

I haven't heard anything back yet and I'm just curious as I've seen some of these quick TAT on the timelines, how much did I set my paperwork back when I needed to resend it with a revision? Does it just get tucked back beneath the pile or should I be worried that I have some serious issues with whatever the service center does on this initial approval round? I can't fathom what those issues might be but I'm becoming more and more dismayed with the whole process (and I know from reading this forum, I'm not the only frustrated person so I do have perspective). Nevetheless, it's just really tiring....


I did the same exact thing, got the RFE, responded (would have been sooner if I wasn't in the Philippines for 3 weeks when it was sent), the 60 days have passed and called the Service Center. All they told me is it hasn't been seen yet by the adjudicator who requested the RFE, and they couldn't give me any timeline about when it might get looked at again. I hope your outcome is different than mine so far. Good luck.

The waiting is hard, but its a necessary evil in this process. I too get discouraged when I see approvals in a month or so but then I read about those unfortunate souls who had to file at the California Service Center and I realize that my wait is not as bad or as long as it could have been.

WOW! Its finally OVER!!! at exactly 10am today, the DELBROS delivered our visa!. The receptionist from our condo called me thru my intercom system and said: "G'am Maa'm SOMEONE FROM DELBROS IS HERE TO SEE YOU!, WOW!!! It was the sweetest music to my ears, the greatest news i have ever heard in my entire life when i heard it was DELBROS DELIVERING OUR VISA'S!. It was a very good decision to give up our Canadian Immigrant Visa and never attend that interview, as I chose to be with my husband for the rest of my life so we can start/build a new family!

And ofcourse this moment would have never arrived w/o all the support from all of my VJ friends!. So I want to extend my most sincere gratitude to all of you including the Administration/Administrator, and those of you who are always eager & willing to help all of us out even long after you are already in U.S.! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I also want to thank my husband whom has been very supportive, patient & understanding in this long wait... I LOVE YOU BABES! & ofcourse, God Almighty for granting this moment to my life when I will finally be able to be with my beloved as one very happy family.

To those of you beginning and still waiting your visa journey, its all worth it! every FRUSTRATING MOMENT! every DISAPPOINTMENTS & every DELAYS, make it that much a greater victory! Love truly does conquer all! God bless everyone.

MARAMING SALAMAT PO!

I had my interview on Nov 4. I paid delbros but did not text them coz I lost my cp a day before the interview. So I used the online Shipment Tracking service to check status of my visa delivery. I type in MNL2008****01, but nothing comes out. Im not sure if its working.

Anyhoo, I got my visa just now and i am just so happy. Thank you all for the information i got from here. We all get so paranoid at times thinking about what will turn out of our visa application but nothing beats being ready and armed when the interview comes.

Goodluck to everyone!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE on 129f Part C. question 1,2,3
I got an RFE for the same thing. There seem to be a number of RFE's for this oversight. It is confusing because I too thought that section was for current military personnel. You need to answer question 2, yes or no. If you answer yes, then you need to provide more information on a second sheet and answer question 3. I answered no on my RFE and am still waiting for the NOA2 but I have seen others approved in a couple weeks after returning the RFE. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures6 months wait after a divorce
You are free to marry in another state in less than 6 months as long as you meet the requirements of the other state but you cannot cohabit in the state of Oklahoma until the divorce decree is 6 months old.




The Oklahoma Statute you are concerned about is Title 43, Section 123.

§43-123. Remarriage and cohabitation - Appeal from judgment.

It shall be unlawful for either party to an action for divorce whose former husband or wife is living to marry in this state a person other than the divorced spouse within six (6) months from date of decree of divorce granted in this state, or to cohabit with such other person in this state during said period if the marriage took place in another state; and if an appeal be commenced from said decree, it shall be unlawful for either party to such cause to marry any other person and cohabit with such person in this state until the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date on which final judgment shall be rendered pursuant to such appeal. Any person violating the provisions of this section by such marriage shall be deemed guilty of the felony of bigamy. Any person violating the provisions of this section by such cohabitation shall be deemed guilty of the felony of adultery.


I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, only my opinion.

QUOTE (marriedtomrg @ Aug 10 2009, 11:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi peeps.

Hope you can shed some light, as my husband and I are trying to figure out of there are any friendly POEs.

We are considering two airlines (destination is New Orleans, where my husband's parents live): Continental and NWA. My daughter and I will be coming from Manila.

Continental flies through Guam first, then Hawaii (Honolulu), then Texas (Houston), then Louisiana (New Orleans). If we fly through Continental, are the immigration checks done in Guam, Honolulu or Houston?

NWA flies through Japan first (Nagoya), then Michigan (Detroit), then Louisiana (New Orleans).

Are any of these POEs friendly? We really would like things to go smoothly when we go home.


On Continental you go through immigration in Guam and customs in Hawaii. Guam is a very easy POE. Many of the IO's are Filipino too.
