K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow can we help Estadia (Sara)??
Ditto! I would sign a petition!!

This is a bit OT: I know the media has not been interested in the past but....

I had a thought while flipping through channels tonight, my fiance watches Lou Dobbs on CNN. Lou Dobbs is always straightforward and critical of government and its inefficiencies, I have heard stories of him investigating about other federal departments. I wonder if he would be interested in publisizing USCIS. I mean Sara's petition sat for ONE YEAR just waiting for someone to send out an RFE!! Not to mention the increase in fees, decrease in efficiency, employees losing documents, whole petitions, medicals!! customer service agents who don't have a clue, FBI backlogged, first in first out I think not!! Anyways, I think it might be a good way to bring up Sara's case!

Well, i tried to look into some information about active duty military whistling.gif but i couldnt find anything precise crying.gif . My fiance is in the US army and someone here said that he may use that in our advantage...Please help me?!?! helpsmilie.gif We are both new in all this rolleyes.gif and we need help with some things.... oops8rh.gif I would appreciate any form of help that you can provide....

thank you in advance for your understanding and support.... luv.gif


Does your fiance have deployment orders? Or is he currently deployed? That is the only way that USCIS will expedite cases for active duty military. My fiance is active duty AF, but our case was not expedited.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
Sara rose.gif I am so sorry for what you have gone through, I don't even have words to describe how angry I am for you! I write this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, it is absolutely dispiscable what they have done to you. Looking at your timeline angers me and should anger everyone on this board. I remember joining VJ in March of 2008 and reading your posts, it makes me so sad to know that you are STILL waiting, even then you always were so supportive of others journey's and always had nice things to say, I cannot believe you are still here on VJ after seeing so many people's journey's far ahead of yours, I have the utmost respect for you and I wish you all the best. Definitely include a timeline of all your contacts with USCIS, phone calls, etc..etc...who you spoke to, again you will be in my thoughts. rose.gif Burn up those fax machines and knock on everyone's door that you can think of!!

. Even though he recently had a tetanus shot, he had to get another as apart of one of the other tetanus combination shots they give to people


Yeah, they changed, or added a vaccine that is only available in a combination with tetanus. I think Cindy will have to have this same one too, even though she had another tetanus a couple years ago.


It has to be "Tdap" which goes by the name Adacel. It has a combination of 3 vaccines in 1 shot. I just got that one a week ago...owwww!

Absolutely beneficiaries can call! I called NVC with no problems. They are supposed to ask you for identifying information such as pet and ben DOB, names and of course the USCIS case #. I think I was only asked once for that info, the rest of the time just asked for the USCIS case #.

Congrats Gingercat on your visa!!

Are there any January K-1 filers still waiting? The timelines on VJ only have 10, just curious if any active posters or those who are lurkers on VJ are still left? I see one got an RFE in June! I hope your NOA2 comes quickly after submitting the RFE information! I hope no one is stuck in background or security checks and gets their NOA2 soon!


I just filed AOS today! So excited to get on with the next step!


Yay! Congrats on your marriage too! Are there pictures??

Just 29 days (28 days 17 hours......) until I see Nik. 37 days 14 hours and 49 minutes until our wedding! smile.gif


26 days for me until the wedding!! Either at the end of this week or beginning of next I will be moving!! POE here I come!! Now if only my compliance letter for my car would show up in the damn mail! Ugh!!

Now we are settling in to wait for our wedding day to get closer so that he can work as long as possible.

Shannon got it done today on her own. We are approved! They gave her some grief about her history and situation, but ultimately granted her visas. Today's a good day... Good luck to all still waiting and thanks for the support!
