K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 and Wedding Plans
I did the stupid thing and booked all venues and such before starting the K-1 process :-( I thought it was okay to get married under the visa waiver program...

Thankfully we got our NOA2 lighting fast so I think he'll get the visa by October or November (the wedding was planned for December) but, still, it can get worrisome.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
My fiancé just arrived in LAX and had no problems whatsoever at the POE. He wasn't even questioned, said he was visiting his fiancé and that was it.
BelleSadeFemaleAustralia2010-06-30 00:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
My guy visits me in about two weeks. Wish me luck guys! I'll let you all know it goes.
BelleSadeFemaleAustralia2010-06-16 01:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
Also, since we only see each other once a year, he's going to be here six weeks... I'm worried the long wait will be an issue, but he will have a letter from work, his landlord, and his mom saying he's coming home.
BelleSadeFemaleAustralia2010-06-08 23:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
I was told at my local USCIS office that my fiancé should lie about it... say he's visiting friends, but not his fiancé. :-( What's worse?
BelleSadeFemaleAustralia2010-06-08 23:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
Does anyone have any experiences on LAX?

I had no problem at all visiting him in Sydney, in fact the customs officers even joked with me and whatnot, but it's his turn to visit.

Oh poop. Now I'm scared I'll get an RFE. Didn't send the birth certificate of my fiancé and my fiancé threw away the boarding passes of when he came to visit me, so we only have the itineraries :-(

i received the package of documents in the afternoon of Oct 4, but in the same day in the morning i sent the new package. :-/ The I-797 said that my address was not complete, but was really complete bcz i am look at it in all the forms. Well... i did all again and this last saturday i received the new I-797 and they accepted all the documents.
Tomorrow I will send the I-129f for get the K-3, but i most call to the phoneline bcz i am confused about which address I most send all this forms to do this new step. :star:

Did you pay using a check? If so, has the check been cashed? Or did you pay using money order?



Until today they brang to me the receipt number, but still 1 moth and didnt come the documents back and i dont know what is happening bcz they suppouse sent them inmediatly to me... so, i dont know the reasons for reject the I-130.

By that i most run tomorrow to the postal office bcz i sent a money order and for ask about if they have the package. While, i will send everything again tomorrow but taking the risk that they reject it again bcz dont know why they did it this time without the explanation they sent. :crying:

The NOA-1 can take 60 days to get to you. I"m not sure where you got the 10 days from, but if they've received it, then they're working on processing it. This journey is about patience.

Good luck




When i called to the National Customer Service, the teller told me that suppouse at 10 days the Chicago Office send to me the I-797... but nothing appear in the systems and i didnt receive them back to me neither... :-/

I called a lawyer and he told me the same about the 10 days for send to me that I-797... bcz after that i will submit the K-3 I-129f

There was some problems in August with 'the wrong guidelines' being implemented for the Chicago lockbox -
many I-130's were returned with address problems (addresses IN the forms), and for the most part, these 'refusals' were done in error.

Suggest you use the email address, for an inquiry, at http://www.visajourn...ost__p__4114010

but do read that entire thread, as well.

*** not a K-3 visa topic, moving to IR-1/CR-1 forum ***



Thank u Darnell...

I will write it again in the forum u are telling me here... I really dont understand the codes for recognize any one of the things bcz this is my 1st time doing it.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130
Hi everybody!!!

I married this last summer in Turkey and then I returned home leaving my husband there without come home (Puerto Rico) with me. Then I started to manage all the documnets in the I-130 to be sent to Chicago Office, where I belong. I sent all the documents in August 12, 2010 in certified mail with return receipt; that I checked by net and showed me that they received the package in August 14, 2010.

Still to this day I haven´t received the I-797, when they are supposed to send it to me in 10 days. I called to 1-800-375-5283, but the didn´t found anything about our names in the net system.

So... I feel blind and aimless!!! I really don´t know what can I do. Bcz maybe they lost the documents and I don´t know if its right to send everything again (including the cost of the Fee). I´m very desperate!!!!!!! :´(

I tried to find the phone numbers of the Chicago Office, but all number that I found are disconnected. :-S

I think it´s ridiculous to have send documents outside the state of residence of each one of us bcz in every state or US territory exist USICS Offices and we are wasting time that could be faster the time to work them, such things happen like here I narrated.


I would be gratefull to those who can give me more information about the Chicago office and if I need re-send everything again.


Blesses for everybody!!! C827318C-5385-7224-9165-BB813CE850C31.03.01 C827318C-5385-7224-9165-BB813CE850C31.03.01

Hi everybody...

Im writting here bcz my ADD w/o H doesnt let me read and understand the procedures for this application well as suppouse to be.

I will be thankful if someone could write here by numerical order what will happen after i submitted the I-130 and i recieved the I-797. Btw, I sent the I-129f (K3) too. I searched the time to take everyone of them to be processed complete. Both are in 5 months or more... depend the case or what they need.

But plz... could some one explain in order of sequence?

1) submit the I-130
2) receive back the I-797

And what more we most wait?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresstill waiting for noa2 (i-130)
They never help us... I received the I-797c from both petitions (i-130 & I-129f K3), but after i opened an account in the website USCIS just the receipt of the I-129f was registered bcz the receipt of I-130 specified that doesnt exist. :S I was worried and i called to the line. The operator just told me that she was looking the case in her pc, but cant help for fix the detail that i cant checking it online de I-130. She told me that cant give to me info about the case and the only thing i could do was wait between 5 to 6 months. :blink:

So, by that i wrote directly to the office who is attending our case by email and they fixed the little problem after 2 days... :) :star:

http://www.visajourn...-office-center/


My wife called yesterday and they were totally rude to her, telling her not to call back and that they would notify us of a decision by email, regular mail or a phone call..I take it this was a Tier 1 person..she was a total ######. Last week when she called they told us to wait 5 days and if they hadn't hear from us to call them back, which we tried. The lady yesterday said, well that was a mistake..dont call us, we'll call you.
is that typical of Tier 1 people? And should she try to call back today or monday?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...

In my opinion

Did or does anybody ever think of the K-1 filers in comparision of the CR-1 & IR-1 filers
and how many more there are of CR-1 than K-1.
You all need to understand the process isnt about how fast you get done,,(BECUASE YOUR
GOING TO GET DONE SOONER OR LATER ) But there are 10's of thousand CR-1 & IR-1 than K-1
filers. Last every single case has its own UNIQUE set of situations for that case. NO
to cases are the same, they just try to get them done in the 5 months they say to.
Give them a break and have some patients an let them do their job. You dont know but
were sitting here bad mouthing them if it wasnt for them we couldnt get appovals, so be
PATIENT and wait the 5 months and let the process work like it suppose to.
If you cant wait than get some nerve medication from your doctor and just wait.
Everybody surely wants processed, but nobody has the patients to wait the time given
to process them. If your 5 months has expried than complain about your case..Not while
the have the right WITHIN THE 5 MONTHS TO GET IT DONE....

Have some understanding and let them do their work. They have 5 months give it to them.


Well.. I respect ur opinion bcz its urs, not mine. I am telling my opinion and bcz i know how this ppl work. In addition, no one is making them stop their duties but sure they most work a little more faster. If u work in a government job, u suppouse to know a little better how the ppl work in there with 3 velocities... Im working in a government agengy and live that all the time with my work partners although Im not like that bcz i prefer finished all fast possible and have happy my clients no matter how much i need push my partners to do their work fast, on time!. The government pay my for realize my work fast but efficient in all. B-)
And as all of us, I am a client and I am paying. And if I am paying for something, I claim to insist that services be faster in a reasonable time and completed at all.

If doesnt matter for u wait lot of time... call and tell them to delay ur case and bring to other one ur suppouse turn. I guess very sure that u wil not going to do it, indeed Im more sure that u will prefer that some one does that and u can take that opportunity. So dont come to say that I need take calm pills bcz i know control my self Mr. Patience. :bonk:
Say my opinion and the way i think or others arent something bad. Not all the ppl are like u.

If I wanna make hear my voice about my vision to the government and this agency... Its my option bcz I make valid my rights like other citizen from this country. If others wont make it bcz are scare about something... Its their choice, how i take mine. :protest:

If i think this its abussive, cruel, hurts and damage us... tell me if thats not happening to u, bcz i think that u are in that same line like all of us. So... I dont let no one or anything damage me, lesssssssssssssssss when exist rights, human rights. :angry:

Thats mean that USA need taking other ways to make this process more shortly, almost they did it if we are talking about few time ago when the time for complete all of this was more extensive. They need improve better ideas. More when the ppl that they are trying to dont let them come in already are here and the good ppl cant. Wow... nice work of them!!! :ranting:

In my case... my husband will be the terrorist, but just in our bedroom ;) In other places... he is an angel bcz i am the :diablo:

All of this... dont need take more than 2 to 3 months since NOA1 to NOA2, bcz remember that the other process could take more longer time between 2 to 3 months more... and in other cases more than that. So, we are talking about now is taken 8 to 10 aprox. months in all the procedures be done. The idea is have everything done between 4 to 6 months. Since receive the NOA1 to have ur spouse between ur hands. :wow:
mysteryladyprFemaleTurkey2010-12-03 14:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...

It's a frustrating and seemingly arbitrary process...there is no doubt about that. And I'm speaking as someone who got through the petition process faster than most. Having acknowledged that and being very grateful, it seems very arbitrary and overly taxing to me as well. I still feel for those who filed before me and still don't have a result. Some of it is international geo-politics...something none of us have any control over.

I disagree that it is deliberately cruel...not that it makes you feel any better if it isn't...it still feels the same. All large government bureaucracies operate in mysterious ways that make sense on some level, but outside the system, make no sense at all.

The truth is, you can only pray and do all that is asked of you. In the end, the odds will eventually work in your favor...though the wait may be long. Consider this as one of God's tests of your love for each other. Determine that you will pass the test and be together sooner rather than later. That is the best comfort you can have over a process that you cannot control.

Best wishes on a speedy approval...and stay optimistic, though it is hard.


Hi... U are right in said that we havent a control right now about the process but we can let listen our voice about or desagree about all of this and maybe in the future for others could be more easy way. But most start since now and as i told... not only staying looking a clock running or more just fora say... stay just thinking in our case, bcz exist other ones that need help too.

Prays help bcz God are always listening us... but not all we can let it in his hands bcz we must move too to get the wishes we wants. (Help ur self, that God will help u) Its not... stay without move and just wait what can occur. Bcz if its in that way... we never get our goals. And no matter burocracies... the ppl let need make then hear our voices.

Nice day!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...

I know the process is long and arduous but it is the process that we have. By all means write letters and raise awareness of this, it can't hurt. However, it does not rise to the level of cruelty since that is much too strong of a word. It's tough and may not always seem fair and does tax relationships, but in the end it makes us all strong and aware. Some cases will take longer than others for many reasons. Don't let frustration ruin the journey. Soon we all end up with our loved ones and it makes that time so much sweeter and cherished even more.


Hi...thanks for ur response.
Can be sure that all of us are trying to keep with our minds in control, but exist some realities that we cant give them our back. A lot of couples are having problems with this kind of procedures and few of them finished giving up or divorced, or fighting, or cheating, or having depression and lot of other things; which arent wellness in our relationships if we havent the knowledge to can manage it.
This ppl are not function good and they are desorganaized and without a structure; by that are occuring what is ocurring with the cases.

While other countries, that we can see, they let the spouses or bfs come to the country for visit or live without the kind of unsane way that USA Government adopted to be by their own mistakes and having his nose where dont need stay. And all of us, as victims of this government system, need sacrifice our life and our loved ppl too. Its really unfair, cruel, unsaine, and is a system of dictatorship in an alleged free democratic system, that everyday makes us fall deeper. Hasnt new good ideas to renovate this system for makes us get a better quality of life.

And how dont talk about all of this and let it know in all forums... are not a brave proud one, bcz we must make respect our self infront of all and let them know what they are making wrong and bring to them ideas to fix all of this. But if the ppl will be acting conformist by nothing... what we are showing??? Sure, I will let hear my voice in defend of the human rights, no matter where... here, there or in other place.

Dont get mad my posture... Its my real opinion about it and i cant just stay looking a clock to wait the time come to have my husband at home. We married to be a family in thats precise moment in our wedding, not 1 yr latter after our marriage. And I can give thx to God bcz i didnt get be pregnant and see then that i will be alone in that period of time; how occured to a lot of woman.

Have a nice nite...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...

the thing is that there are many cases filed, also, I heard that they dont count with enough people to do the job. I know USCIS can be so slow that you get mad at them, cus it takes so long with them, I was wondring that too, there are many cases which have been apporved in 4 to 5 months, I saw april filers that are getting approvals till now, and most of may's got approval in October, or so. It may be the country or the background ckwcking they do, but sthng is sure, they dont go in order!! good luck in the process


<_< So... they cant say that they are working in the cases in order bcz itsnot true... And they are telling us by phone ad their info that are working by the order they receive the cases. Achhhhhhhhhhhhh... :bonk:

Maybe could be that they havent so much employees, but the could contract ppl part time to make all more faster bcz their salaries come from the $$$ we pay to them or by every fee... and other public founds. And they are receiving lot of millions of US$ like to take this idea.

But they just wanna torturing us for see who will give up... :hehe:

And in addition, they over investigate the ppl whom dont need, bcz who suppouse be investigated dont be at all and we can see then inside of the territories. Ufffffffff!!! :ph34r:

mysteryladyprFemaleTurkey2010-12-02 20:58:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...

It may be that some of the cases you are looking at were expedited for one of many reasons. Also some months are just faster than others because of other things that USCIS is doing. If you look at percentages most of us May filers waited 5 months+/- for our NOA-2. If you go back in the past the visa process was a whole lot longer. It sucks having to wait. I don't like any more than you do. USCIS is working on a large amount of petitions and factoring in big Government bureaucracy it is amazing that they do as well as they do. Best of luck on your journey.


I know that before took lot of time for solve the cases and now are just few months, but in my opinion... the cases can be solved (I-130) in just 2 to 3 months, no matter the amount of cases. Bcz they already working other procedures very fast like just few weeks and not more than 1 month.

AND WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS THINGS; ARENT FREE... So, we are clients... Not just window viewers...:bonk:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI wanna an explanation to understand...
I am looking the time history about some of us and I saw that so much of our petitions are just taking between 2 to 3 months and others are taking so long like 6 months just to get a desicion about I-130.
I wanna know... how the USCIS are managing the cases when they are telling us always that they solving the petitions by the number we have... I consider that is a totally lie.
Want to knnow... what they are doing with our petitions all that time when they are not working on them??? Just taking dust for they take the right feel to do something??? Bcz Im very sure that they arent not putting us situations in them life to can feel and understand us.
We are paying for they do all that paper work and I cotinue considerating thats the period time to get an approval of a I-130 doesnt be more than 2 to 3 months for all and not for few of us.

Im very sure that with our social security number they get all our information and with the aiien number of our relatives in their countries its very simple to request it to the other governments too.

I am not pessimist, Im reallist and Im mad with this ppl.

If we call to the number that they gave to us... they never can offering info and the most common response is that we most wait 5 month for receive the desicion from the USCIS. How its possible that they cant offering us information about the cases we submitted to them?!!!

This its not just infair for us, Its cruelty!!!! Bcz they dont care if we are suffering, more they arent in our positions.

Maybe so much of u feel that wasnt bad the experience bcz in that cases the petitions were approved in short time, but exist others that their cases are like nightmates with all the time for wait this ppl work correctly.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need your advice guys im so worried,,,,!!:(
I really dont understand why he didnt just carry the 1st divorce document from the Law Court to the Vital Statistics office of the state which he lives right know or where they got marry before.

I am divorced since January 2006 and i dont knew that in the Vital Statistics office from Puerto Rico havent the update of our relationship. I got marry with my actual husband in Turkey and when i returned back home i searched the mariage certificate and appear that I was still married with my 1st husband!!!

I just needed go home search that resolution from the Court Law in that day and I carried back to the Vital Statistics offices. They just made the change in the sistem and gave to me a marriage certificate with the update of that divorce.

But my actual husband and I dont need marry again... Unless your husband's ex-wife had annulled the divorce and the court sent him the notice.

About how can affect that in the interview... dont know, but if they dont ask u both about that point... dont talk about it!!!!!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia Service Center To Texas Service Center
Well in our case... I submitted the I-130 to Chicago and i received the NOA1 from California. The I-129f (K3), I sent it to Texas offices and i received the NOA1 from California.
I guess that the info provided in USCIS is incorrect about the palces we most submit. And I guess too that take more time when they are tranfering or documents to other offices in USA. Could be that they wanna gain time, but we are losing time by that practice.

Hope all of u have everything ready very fast... Bleses to all!!! :thumbs:
