K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Another CSC K-1 NOA-2!!	QUOTE (John and Camie @ Mar 26 2009, 11:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I originally thought I would just hide this news in a few posts (as I get a bit shy), but I'm posting it because reading other CSC Jan/Feb. '09 approvals helped me track how fast the CSC was going through newly filed petitions (in the meantime trying not to get my hopes up, LOL - John and I thought it could just be pure luck), and I'm thinking others might be doing the same. So add another NOA-2 to the list for CSC! We got our NOA-2 one month to the day we got the NOA-1, and received the hard copy in the mail tonight - and btw, no email notification or change in status online. GO CSC!! I always like seeing all the happy posts on VJ ... and now here's mine *blushes* - Camie YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Don't hide!! Hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly!!	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-03-26 23:47:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	This wait time...	Cubans have to go through an exit-visa before leaving to the U.S. that is why it takes so long at the embassy unlike waiting for an interview date at some busy consulates. Take a look at this thread before jumping on the OP: http://www.visajourn...howtopic=172031 Edited by minnew, 01 April 2009 - 12:44 AM.	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-04-01 00:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Who wants to join my angry rant thread?	QUOTE (Sherri and Matt @ May 2 2009, 04:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When will Matt finally be home? Don't know. When is the wedding? After all, many people have to get time off work, arrange flights etc. Don't know. You haven't even made any arraingements yet? Nope. Can't. How can you have a wedding with your family if you can't even plan it? Don't know. Well do you think he will be here by summer? I DON'T KNOW ! How many more hours of tears do I have ahead of me? Does anyone know. So tired of the questions, I know many of you must get the same ones. I know there isn't anything I can do about it. I think I need to be banned from this website, because every time I check Igor's list and see all the approvals on petitions that were filed after mine, or I see people get approved in just weeks, I want to scream, throw things, and cry. Yes, I know it has only been 110 days. Yes, I know other people often wait longer. We have a very straightforward petition as far as I know. I can't think of any reason for a denial, but every day with no website update, no touch, no RFE, just nothing...is an eternity. I don't know how so many of us do this and remain sane. All that BS about petitions being approved in the order they are recieved makes me want to throw up. It just makes no sense... How do I not get angry with him for not filing sooner? He wanted to stay and work and save money....but he lost his job anyway, and if we had applied when we originally discussed, he would probably be here by now. I have to be one of the most impatient people in the world, I don' think I hate anything more than waiting. I know there are people that hate it as much as I do...how do you do it? I understand how you feel! I definitely got the same questions from friends and family members! I try to keep my answers short and to the point now! So sick of explaining myself! VJ has been a great support for me throughout this process, it definitely has kept me busy. Just remember that it will be so worth it in the end...that's what keeps me going!	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-05-02 20:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Stupid Q regarding NOA1	When I first logged into my Case Status Online it also said received and pending. The date received was January 13th, 2009, but the actual NOA1 date was January 14th, 2009, so I do not know if it will be the same thing for you as well, possibly May 7th, 2009 since it was received May 6th, 2009.	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-05-11 12:03:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2008 K-1 Filers	QUOTE (Uchinanchu @ May 29 2009, 08:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some bad news and some more bad news........ First, I received a letter stating that we had insufficient evidence which is fairly odd because we have dated photos, signed letters from both sets of parents, etc. Have until June to send back more evidence. .....but here is the worst bad news....broke up. moving in together was a big step and since I last touched base with you all we have broken up, she moved back to her parents and then we tried to get back together again but everything has fallen apart so it is off for good. Is there ANY possible way to get a partial refund based on the insufficient evidence or separation?? I realize it is unlikely but assuming we were still together there would be little probability of our plans going through to marry this summer because of this new delay so it would have to be post-pone anyway so doesn't that mean I should get a partial refund or am I reaching? I know everyone likes a good story so let me end by saying communication is very important, if you cannot speak to your partner on a level that you would speak to your best friend back in the states, you may both get frustrated, plus moving in is a big deal. You really get to know a person on a whole different level and that can make or break a relationship. I am very sorry to hear about the break-up. No one likes going through these things. Its better to find out now rather than later in the process and have more time and money wasted. In regards to receiving a refund, no I do not believe USCIS will ever issue a refund based on the separation. I would just send in a letter to USCIS saying that you are withdrawing the petition due to the break up.	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-05-29 23:34:00
