K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSent a photocopy of NOA2 approval to NVC
QUOTE (second stage @ Nov 8 2007, 11:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I called USCIS this afternoon and the CustomerRep initially and she told me the petitions are usually sent to the consulate directly and I told her, the information she has/had is wrong....thanked her and hung up! wacko.gif


laughing.gif I wish I had the gut to hang up on that lady when she told me the same. I took her words for it and found out a week later our case was still sitting in the staging area waiting to be shipped out. On top of that, someone at NVC also told me he has seen many cases skipped the NVC office and goes directly to the foreign Consulate. no0pb.gif

QUOTE (second stage @ Nov 1 2007, 07:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Considering it's taking about 30-50 days(and maybe more) for NOA2 to be sent to NVC, I jumped the gun and decided to shoot them a letter requesting a case number and attached a copy of my NOA2..

Has anyone done this before?
I'll update you'll with the progress.....


I sent a copy of my NOA2 last week. I called them a couple of days ago and they told me that it will take 4-6 weeks to process any incoming mails. That's about the same time CSC takes to forward the case to NVC. mad.gif

Hey ya'll a quick question. My petition was recieved at CSC on September 26 and it has not been touched once and i saw on vj dat people dat sent theirs after mine has recieved touches some more than once so ma question is should I be worried or is it normal? should i call CSC and ask them y? I dont knw wat to do am very worried so plz help anybody I would really appreciate it thank you.


Most of the time, the touches will come near the end of NOA2 (4-5 months) when your case is assigned to an adjudicator to work on your case. Other times touches are often resulted when you call the USCIS line. Hope that help explained your concern.

A relief. Got the RFE today. Just need to get her translated birth certificate.

VJ needs to put something in to the guides that states that the USCIS may request your fiance(e)'s birth certificate. This is becoming all too common now.


I agree the Guide needs to be updated.

This misinformation line is USCIS customer service. Call them a few times...each time you will be told something totally different.

I'm thinking of axe'ing the K1 and going there to marry her. Have to start over, but at this rate, what's the difference.


Yup, I hear ya. They told me our NOA2 case was sent directly to the Consulate and bypassed NVC. I asked the lady 3 times if she was sure and she said yes. A week later I found out it was still in the staging area waiting to be sent to NVC. I sometimes wonder if these people ever got their training. Unbelievable!!

QUOTE (Jason-Sasha @ Nov 12 2007, 10:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm actually kind of glad that its taking so long to receive an NOA2. Sounds strange, in a way. but it will allow me to use 2007 as my "Last year's tax returns". As 2007 was much better for me than 2006. And as long as her interview isnt before the end of January, my 2007 tax returns will be perfect.


Now there's one way to put a spin on this for a positive outcome. smile.gif

QUOTE (pinktulips @ Nov 12 2007, 06:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone,

Can somebody please give me CSC's direct line so we could verify if they had sent the our case to NVC. We received the approval last Oct 12 and my fiancee inquired several times with the NVC but they said that our case is not yet with them. We're both upset and want to track it with the CSC. Any advise would be gladly appreciated.


There's no direct line to CSC that I know of, but many of us have use their RFE line as they're able to assist you further than their customer service line. Here's how to get through the RFE line:

Call 1-800-375-5283

Follow these prompts:

1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1 Then enter your receipt number and press 1 to verify that it is correct, Press 1 again.

Good luck!

Hi ! My fiancee received the NOA2 last Oct 12 and just 3 days ago he called the NVC to check if they receive our case. The guy told him that it's not yet with them. Just today, he inquired again and the lady told him that still they haven't got it and try calling back at the end of Nov. She further stated that sometimes it would take 90 days before they could receive it. This makes us upset.


Because of mail contractors issues, CSC are now sending these NOA2 out to NVC in batches. Once a large crate is filled up then it will be sent out. Recently, the average wait is between 3-5 weeks. Not exactly the answer you'd like to hear, but this is a fact that we all have to deal with. sad.gif

I use other VJ Members' timeline to help track and analyze the dates for the ones who are filing from the same Consulate as I am. I find that it helps me get an idea of when to expect a certain packet and such. I know it's not 100% accurate, but it helps give me a ball park of where I am in the process.

If you have been recently approved for the November 2007...let's keep in touch. I am hearing that we have to wait about a month or more for our case to be forwarded to the consulates. That can't be because, our NOA2 will be approaching their expiration dates.....

PhilippinesCold Weather
I hate cold weather, even though I'm here in N California. I'm just thankful that its getting a little warmer this week. Highest will be around 71 degress. For the mean time that she is not here, buy here a jacket with the fleece lining inside, a hat, cardigan scarf. When she arrives, bring her to shop for a new ward robe. No woman will resist shopping even its snowing outside. Also, make sure you pump up the heater all the time when inside the house.

I don't know about most of them, but advancing the time is one that my wife does. If it's 8:34am in the morning, she says it's 9am!

Also, she'll say 'on' instead of 'in' .....like, "The keys are on my purse."

The 'he' for 'she' and 'she' for 'he' always confuses me when I'm trying to follow the story. wacko.gif

And I've noticed that plural words get changed around, like ...."Do you want egg for breakfast?"


headbonk.gif I'm guilty of those things too. As much I want to correct it.. it always comes out of my mouth. Very frustrating......its just simple grammar but I can't get it right.......but 'm still working on it.
