K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsA few questions...

Unfortunately there is not much you can do right now to speed up approval of your petition
The best thing you can do is read up on the guides to make sure you understand the rest of the process and start gathering things you will need for the interview

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsA few questions...
Hi everyone, I have a few questions and hope you can help me understand some things.
-First, we sent our k1 visa application to the Texas service center on 2013-02-22 and got the NOA1 on 2013-03-01.
Fist email we got said "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing" so I want to know if I should change the service center on my timeline to the California one.
-Second, with the reciept number we got I check on the USCIS website and it tells me it's on "Initial review", but it says "On March 5, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). " what excatly does this mean?
-Third, When on the website I checck for the processing times I choose k1 not yet married and the California service center and it tell me the time is 5.5 months, but the national average is 7.9 months, should I really trust the California time? and 5.5 months to what? for them to send the approved application to the NVC? and then would I have to add to that the time it would take me to go to the consulate and all that?

If someone could explain it all to me I would really appreciate it. I just want this whole thing to go as fast as possible as I guess everyone else does too. I miss my fiance and I would love to get married when it's still a little warm at least so we can have the backyard wedding we want.
Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports3 months, 1 week and 4 days, just got NOA2 email!!!!!

Ohmygosh! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

At first I thought I we were gonna have to wait until like September for our NOA2.

Now I gotta start getting everything ready for the interview!

It goes to NVC and then they send it to the embassy, right?..that should take about a month or less?

Any advice?

Thanks everyone who has and will help me, and visajourney in general, without it I don't think we could have filed the i29f properly.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, hope you get it soon!

 

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO, fingers crossed everything will keep going well :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsService center

Got it. My case number starts with a WAC which means the California service center. Thank you!
Has your k-1 visa been approved yet? When did you file?
Has your k-1 visa been approved yet? When did you file?

Yeah so just enter that WAC number on the USCIS website  where it says Case Status so you can check it.

My visa hasn't been approved, I am waiting for the embassy to get my case from NVC so I can set an appointment for the interview. I filed at the end of February this year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsService center

I'm sure it's being processed in the CSC.

Did you not recieve NOA1 email and letter? It should be in there along with your case number which you can use to check your case status in the USCIS website.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDivorced a K1 and I want to remarry with K3, any restrictions?
How long is between your ex-wife received her 10 years LPR and the divorce? If this is so short, you might want to hang on there and wait for a while!

If you decided to get married in Columbia, you'll have to file for an immigrant visa - CR1. The K3 visa is kind of eventually dead now!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhat is needed at interview time?

I did, but all I got was the same person giving me another number that no one would answer. Then I kept getting an automated service telling me how to apply for the visa:(

I did receive about 3 emails from the consulate. The first one was giving information about what to bring to the interview, I just re-read it and it does say to get my birth certificate. Guess I answered my own question. The second email I emailed them the E-copies of both the AOS and the IV package with the barcoded sheets to prove I paid my fees. They said they have to wait until the hard copies come in the mail to set up the appointment. My last email I sent had a copy of the DHL shipping page showing them our package arrived in KL on the 2nd of September at 12:58pm. I haven't heard anything since...


I guess when you ask the government to expedite your case for each step, the government will "expedite" it in days! Since your package already arrived on 9/2, I bet the embassy will get back to you in a week or two.

Since your case was expedited, were you able to send the AOS and IV package to NVC? Or you will bring in during the interview?
kamhoeMaleMalaysia2011-09-07 13:01:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhat is needed at interview time?
I don't think they need an original birth certificate from the petitioner but only from the beneficiary. I would bring both to the interview just in case!

You still heard nothing about your interview date? I thought you already called the embassy!

US Citizenship General DiscussionDual citizenship travel visa question!

Hello,

I do hold the US and EU citizenship's. Planning to travel to China and I do need visa. However, I am not sure which passport to use. If I use the US passport, then I will need to pay $140 for visa, but if I use the EU passport, then I will only need to pay $15 for that visa, but I am not sure if the law allows that. I know that I must use the US passport leaving the states, but can I show the EU passport with a visa on it?


You do not need US passport to leave the states but you do need US passport to enter the states!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionEvidence List need help checking
The chance to have another interview during AOS isn't high because you had an interview during your K-1 visa. As I can say, if you have a joint ROC, the chance to have another interview is low too!

BTW, if you have any joint credit card or loan account, you can send a copy too! But other than that, your evidences are strong!

Good luck!

I believe you have to use the case number that comes with the biometric appointment letter.

 

S, they will assign another case number than the one that they wrote on my check? Will the NOA1 have case number too? Thanks.

My check was cashed yesterday. I can see the WAC # from the check image but I can't see anything from USCIS website, it shows:

 

"our case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."

 

Do you guys have the same thing?

PhilippinesApproved -- Kind of ;)

All original divorce decrees are kept at the county courthouse. What we receive are copies with court stamp, signature, or a raised seal to validate it. It becomes our original. I had copies of those made and sent to her and they were sufficient for her interview..


Yes, I agree with that! The document that we can get from a courthouse is called "Certified Copy" and it should be accepted by consulates!

Why you both want to take the risk to waste money and time?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPPROVED!!

Don't know, I don't understand Mandarin :)

And yes, I heard that he is much more lenient and pleasant than the others especially the female CO!


Oh yeah, that blonde female CO is so miserable! :angry:
kamhoeMaleMalaysia2011-09-09 17:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPPROVED!!

They couldn't communicate with the CO but good thing the CO was this young Asian American guy so he was easily able to switch to Mandarin.


Since he is able to communicate with them in Mandarin, why they still got denied? :blink:

I heard that this young Asian CO is much more polite than other CO(s) in the embassy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPPROVED!!

I'm not entirely sure as all of them needed a Chinese translator but I could make out one had a passport that was almost expiring.


They need a Chinese translator because they couldn't communicate with the CO or they don't have the common language with their fiance/spouse?

The CO, is he an older Asian American?

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPPROVED!!

Hi everyone!

We got approved today and it was the single most anti-climatic experience ever! Was last to be interviewed, saw everyone prior to me get denied *VERY scary!* The interview lasted literally like 5 minutes, the later half of which the CO spent typing away on the computer. :rofl:

Here are the questions I got asked incase anyone wants them!

1. What is your fiance's name?
2. When was he born?
3. What is his mother's name?
4. Where does he work now? (He doesn't at the moment and they knew that since we submitted the affidavit of support, so I think he was testing me)
5. How many times have you visited the US?
6. How many times have you visited the US to visit his family?
7. Have you met his family?
8. How many times have we met in person?
9. Where in the US does he live?
10. What is it like in that part of the US? (My fiance lives in Ft. Lauderdale)
11. How long have you been together?
12. Why did you wait so long before deciding to get married? (We have been in this LDR thing for 6.5 years)

That was when he stopped asking questions and started typing away at his computer. HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE I BROUGHT ALONG HAHAHAHA! I'm almost upset that I didn't get to use all those explanations I've worked up in my mind :lol: In fact, he didn't even TOUCH it :wacko: (When I say mountain, I mean mountain haha! It was like 5 inches thick of evidence in that sense, I basically frontloaded them... if they had gone through the documents :P )

Then he turned to me and was like, "Oh btw, your visa is approved!"

All the best to those with interviews soon! Be confident and smile!!


Congratulations on your visa approval!

Any idea why those prior you were denied? Were they for K-1 visa too?

kamhoeMaleMalaysia2012-01-30 13:04:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionOkay to book medical appointment after Packet 3 forms are sent?

 

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense having the medical done before Packet 3 comes, if the doctor allows that. I was told my the panel doctor's office here in Ireland not to book with them until I have an appointment date from the embassy, so that's why I sent packet 3 prior to my medical. As I said in the last post, it's annoying that's there's no way to directly contact them and seek clarification or clear up confusions considering the application part if the most complicated of the whole process because each embassy has so many different requirements and can be quite confusing. 

 

In my case I didn't get a number from NVC, I got it from the embassy. I think the number you use to apply for the visa to the embassy is given by the embassy and not the NVC because it is coded to the relevant location: in Ireland it begins with DBL because the embassy is in Dublin. I ndon't know how London works though. have you received packet 3 yet?

 

Hi Loughrey,

 

Could you please let me know what you ended up doing with the medical? We just got our NVC case number after waiting almost 7 weeks and I would like to know if we can schedule the medical before we have our interview date?
