K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Making a Budget	Counting weekends? Hehehe. I'm so darn impatient/excited/nervous.  Everyone's been telling me it will take 30 days, but from what I've read on VJ, it looks like it may take less.  Hope!! There is hope!!    Yes!  I got our NOA2 on the 8th, NVC received it the 18th.  it shipped out to Dublin on the 22nd.     A side note: I called NVC about a week after I got the NOA2, and they didn't have it.  I wasn't going to call on the 21st, but couldn't help it.  lol  I had intended to wait a full 14 days, but caved.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NOA2 in 7 working days after NOA1?	I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but with all the people waiting for interviews in the Philippines now, it doesn't seem to take any less time than the regular process NOT expedited (apart from TSC people, at the moment.  ).  Last I saw, they are booked until July.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Info to send with Packet 3	Here's what I did for FB messages:  I went to "messages" and called up my conversations with my fiance'.  Then when you scroll up, it'll say something like "loading older messages (14,025)."  once that came on screen, I screen printed it.  Once printed, I highlighted the number of older messages.  They get the tail end of 14000+ messages to see, but can also see that we've talked A LOT on Facebook.  I hope that makes sense.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Info to send with Packet 3	The conversations thing is just absurd and not sure why anyone would want there convos read by a stranger lol   Some countries are considered "high fraud" and Cambodia may be considered one.  If your fiance is coming from one, then it's pretty imperative that you really cover all bases since several people on this website have been denied a K1 visa simply because the interviewer didn't "feel" like the relationship was real.  Finland isn't a high fraud country, so what you are sending for the interview is likely fine.  Edited by Tina and Johan, 27 April 2014 - 09:41 PM.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS-160 for K-Visa Applicants	Hello, I am about to send in my Packet 3. My case was processed in MTL on the 8th of October. Does this mean that I do not to need to send all 3 forms only the DS-160?	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-10-10 11:18:00
Canada	Changing Visa Issuing consulate location	Hello,   I live in the east coast of Canada and have just received a week ago our NOA2.   I have called the NVC on Friday and they have not received our case. I would like our case to go to the West ( Vancouver) instead of Montreal due to back log and increased cases in the East coast of Canada.   Is this at all possible, if it is how do I go about doing so?   Thank You, Natasha	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-09-01 15:40:00
Canada	Transfering case to Vancouver? How? Help :)	Hello everyone,   I was wondering if anybody has transferred their case from MTL to Vancouver?   My case is on its way from the NVC to MTL... I would like to interview in Vancouver and deal with the consulate there as I find they are much easier to communicate and get information from.   I presume this wouldn't be an issue considering Montreal's work load but how can I go about this and will it be an issue/slow things down? Thank You, Nat	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-10-07 15:47:00
Canada	Medical & Interview Collaboration	I hope you two get earlier appointments! I am booked for March 12th and would be stoked on a Feb date!	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-10-30 15:46:00
Canada	February Interview holders!! Montreal/ Those who waited for earlier interviews	Hello Everyone,   I know this is completely a far cry as we are all eager waiting and excited to be with our loved ones.     We just got our appointment for March 12th at montreal,... We have our wedding booked for March 8th due to my fiancée's father being very ill and it being important to be there. I was obviously too confident that we would have an appointment before 5 months out..   Would anyone be able to shed light or if you are needed to reschedule for March to please contact me.. Anytime before march   Thank you and bless you on this journey!	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-10-30 15:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	MARCH 2013 FILERS	Thank You! On Friday our updated case said this online: Post Decision Activity On August 23, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.     What exactly does that mean? Do I still need an interview.. is this notice that I can move soon?   Thanks for your help!	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-08-26 11:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	MARCH 2013 FILERS	Hello,   On march 14th we filed for the K1 - I 129F petition for finance to come to the USA ( She is Canadian).   I called the UCSIS and they said that they are currently processing March 16th, 2013, two days after we filed?   What does this mean and why would ours not have been processed if they are past our date of filing?   Hoping to get some information ( California service center)	Nat1988	Female	Canada	2013-08-22 15:28:00

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	France/America couples	techniquement si tu annules la companie est en droit de te demander le prix d un billet simple.

United Kingdom	Now playing the waiting game.	Yay. I just saw your timeline update. That means they have given you an interview that'll allow you to make your stated wedding date, though. Which is good news!     Yeah, great news!  Was just hoping to get there a bit earlier to help out with all the planning and stuff but maybe that's a good thing... ha ha	Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-07-11 06:03:00
United Kingdom	Now playing the waiting game.	Well - you never know. Depends who else is in the queue and when they need to travel, I suppose. Better saying a date than none at all.   Anyway - let us know! I'm intrigued to see if the CEAC website can be used as a good gauge for time to interview.   Hey..   Got my interview for the 16th August, so my theory is out the window, that's 8 weeks from my medical...  just glad I've got it though and can start planning!   Cheers	Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-07-11 05:51:00

Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-06-27 12:36:00
United Kingdom	Now playing the waiting game.	Yeah, my case was updated on the 25th too.   Our wedding date is 21st Sept and i put that on the cover note, i'm thinking now that might not have been a good idea. I did think about not mentioning it at all but thought might be worse!   I need to call tomorrow, as i'm moving back to my parents this weekend till i go and need to change my address. So i'll be keeping my fingers crossed.   Thanks, i really appreciate it.    Sent all the forms back on the 13th June.....	Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-06-27 12:32:00
United Kingdom	Now playing the waiting game.	It's worth giving either the DoS line (if you can make cheap US calls) or the extortion line in the UK a bell.  I only called today because I didn't think it would do any harm to try, and found that they'd sent the letter on the 25th which is the same day I think they got my medical results (and likely yours too!).  I expect the letter will show up tomorrow or so.   K1s and DCF CR-1s are both scheduled by the embassy instead of the NVC, so there's every chance you've already been assigned a date.     However, I don't know what you put in your cover letter - did you mention a date you are planning to travel or marry?  I'm pretty sure whatever you said there has a lot of sway towards getting an earlier date.  Also, I assume you sent back all the forms they need (and if so, when?)?  I've heard that often the forms can sit in a queue to be processed which can add an extra little bit of time, too.   Also - I assume you can look up your case on the CEAC website?  What's your last updated date on there?  Mine is the same day the medical results were likely received and the day they assigned and sent my interview letter (25th).  https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker   Yeah, my case was updated on the 25th too.   Our wedding date is 21st Sept and i put that on the cover note, i'm thinking now that might not have been a good idea.

United Kingdom	Now playing the waiting game.	Hi,   I had my medical the same day as you(20th June) but i'm applying for the K1 Visa.   Do you think the timelines are the same and i could get a similar interview date?   I haven't yet called but to get a date in mid July would be amazing!   Thanks   Stew	Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-06-27 12:07:00
United Kingdom	After Wedding	You can't enter as a tourist as the K1 visa is actually stuck to an inside page of your passport.  Once you have it, you will only be able to enter the US on the K1 visa.   Hi   Yeah i kind of thought that and had lots of information since posting this, was just trying to way it all up and if i could have made it back my parents were hoping to plan a big party as well, as my dad's health is stopping him fly to the states for the wedding. My fiancee going to fly over for our friends wedding, as she's the maid of honour, said she'll take a cardboard cut out of me with her!!! ha..   Thanks for the Interview info as well, since i got my interview date, I've been thinking a lot about the questions i'm going to be asked.   Cheers	Lobaloo	Male	Scotland	2013-07-16 08:15:00
United Kingdom	After Wedding	Sorry to jump into the conversation but you will have the most beautiful drive! My fiancé is in Oregon so I'm moving over in a few weeks (hopefully!) and last time I was there we drove from LA to Portland via coastal roads. It really is an incredible drive in places!   Hi..    Yeah, we done the same trip last summer but in the opposite direction and it was amazing, looking forward to it again!
