K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers
Lots of stuff going on!.

I got my Visa this morning!, checked out my chest Xray (no reason why, I just thought it was cool tongue.gif ) my Visa says PET: APPRV Uscis/eac on 23jul2008 hmm !.

Its so good to be done atleast for now if anyone is interested, Steven is coming here first week of November to celebrate Bonfire night and my Brothers 20th birthday, then we are flying home together so I can clean the bloody bedroom lol

Congrats Dale! not long now!.

Susie I hope you both can get the birth certificate sorted, hopefully the consular wont see it as a huge problem, they will no doubt understand the length of time it takes in Peru, good luck to you!.

We constantly complain about the $1200 it costs to go from Baltimore to Scotland, hearing that its 1500 for places like NZ and Aussie makes me realise we actually might be quite lucky!.

Hurrah! what an expensive piece of Paper, in both time and moolah!.

I'm hoping to recieve mine this week, I no doubt will find it amusing that the bottom of mine will say PET Steven McClelland . Okay sure laughing.gif

Damn Nich, if he wanted you to come collect him surely there are easier ways hehe laughing.gif

Dont worry Dale, after the interview you will both be saying "wow, how easy was that?" , Like Kim mentioned with her mans interview, mines was more of a conversation I actually enjoyed it, hmmm tongue.gif .

Kim, Congrats! happy for you both, did you mention when Russ is going over there? I can imagine pretty snappy eh!?.

I will also be awaiting Wedding Photographs from all of the April Filers , maybe one day we will even be able to have some sort of get together eh!? .

I usually find the thought of not saying goodbye to each other at the airport is what keeps me going, I think he may actually end up flying here to collect me just so we can be on the plane together !

Kim, Brian, Suzy you are the three I remember from page one of this thread, and I was very much hoping you had all recieved more good news by now what point are you all on right now?

I also came to mention how nervous I am, Leaving for my interview tomorrow, Hopefully you all keep chatty so I can keep distracted!

I would bet my last 2 pounds (Hey I am a recovering student okay!) tongue.gif , that you guys will recieve NOA2's next week.

We cant seem to get an answer from calling NVC, I think we may have the wrong number, and of course, the site doesnt let you search for 3 letter words!, would anyone have a handy link to a number that will hopefully answer my honeys calls, I fear he may be going slowly insane laughing.gif


Hey Nicola,

The number for the NVC is 603-334-0700. Option 1 then option 5. It takes forever to get through but just keep trying and eventually you'll get someone. They need the USCIS case number, your name and DOB and the same for Steven smile.gif Hope that helps you?

Maybe see you in London for at interview time?!?! laughing.gif

I also got my Police Certificates through the other day so don't pay for the Premium Service if you are going through London. I posted them out last Thursday and got them on the Tuesday. Turns out I'm not a hardened criminal mastermind, damn...........


Thankyou! you have confirmed we do have the wrong number, explains alot hehe.

You know I wouldn't be at all surprised if we bumped into each other I'll be the one with the giant filofax of paperwork tongue.gif

I am getting a postal order for my Police certificate tomorrow, then I will mail it as far as I know I am a law abiding citizen !.

April is going so well I made you a list sorted in NOA1 order. You can kinda tell how the approvals are falling into place. I included some of the March people still waiting.


Thanks Nich! the more lists to look at the better, I was going to do this but I am to lazy!, hehe.

Congrats Meghan!, I bet the wee one is celebrating in your tummy to !

Gaura that is a rather funny image, I can just imagine you running around and people wondering why you are so happy, thinking you enjoy your job way to much! laughing.gif

Thanks for the info Bex & GauraD, the next step will be the police certificate, I to will wait until my NOA2!. Jeez its like applying for a passport all over again! haha

The good thing is the UK police certificate you will probably get in a couple of weeks, they are pretty efficient, I am going up to the registry office today for my birth certificate, I have had the same one since I was born and I lost it this year !.

Are you ordering your UK certificate just now to? I was going to do that also, to give it plenty of time to get to me

I read the adjudicators thread Kim linked to on another thread, and he mentioned it can take like 15 minutes to adjudicate a case, then its probably in some box of approvals waiting to get entered into the system!. That could be one touch or 12 touches, VSC has just recently started adjudicating the April filers, hopefully they will speed up a little with us being almost half way threw the month!.

Keep in mind it is early April filers being approved right now, so no one has been 'skipped' or 'overlooked' I just hope we all start getting good news very soon smile.gif .

It is alot harder now we are so close!, and when you haven't had a touch since early on (30th April for me) it does get a little down, considering you/I check that darn website everyday and it never changes!.

Like Ana said we have to stay strong and maybe dance? tongue.gif

I also bid a fare good morning to April filers, anotehr week ended, another to begin!, I am having an okay weekend, I am feeling alot more lighthearted, trying not to stress over our forms, atleast not until monday Teehee.

I recall Dale saying he was going to a school reunion this weekend so we will have to wait until the Monday no doubt!.

Hey Guys and Gals quick question.

All my papers that were sent to the VSC state me and my fiancée will live at my Oakland drive location (my parents house were I live now) I recently bought a house and settlement is august 5th. on my I-134 I put I currently reside at my parents house (assuming I get my noa2 by august 5th) I am also putting that I own real estate with a mortgage of 170,000 (my soon to be new house). Not sure if it matters but my current salary is 42,000.

My question is should me and my fiancée just keep going with the story that we will still live at my parents house since my parents aren’t moving? Or during the interview should my fiancée tell them that I just purchased a house? And update the address of my new house on any documents she brings for the interview?


thanks


I just wanted to let you know that my Fiance moved house couple months ago, we had his parents house down for where we would live when we filed, and he called and let them (VSC) know we would both be staying in a different address and they changed it and sent us an email telling him it was changed. Going with the same story is probably easier, I am sure she could update them at her interview though!.

Great News Brian, I hope you celebrated this news with some sort of toast smile.gif Your last touch was a day before my last touch, so you also have settled my mind quite a bit on the touches front! Let us know what it feels like to see that HardCopy NOA2 in your hands, I can only imagine the emotions it will stir!

Just FYI everybody, I got a Vonage phone a few months ago, and I pay 29.99 every month and I can talk to Luis unlimited with the World Plan. Theres a lot of countries that have this same deal. I used to have to talk to him through skype or on my cell phone with calling cards and the quality stunk with the calling cards. It's kind of hard for me to be on skype or online a lot with the kids around so the Vonage worked out great for me and I got rid of my other house phone.

So last month I spent over 3,000 minutes calling Lima peru and still got charged 29.99 (plus taxes and fees, lol).

This is the best thing that ever happened, haha. And now when Luis comes he can use it to call home everyday! yay!


Thanks Susita!, we have been looking for ways for me to call my Parents,my brother & friends when I eventually move to the States so this is Perfect! I put in ALOT of minutes and from my mobile phone it costs a large fortune biggrin.gif , so I will have to mention this to Steven.

Heads up guys & gals, I didnt expect many approvals last week because of the US holiday weekend, but this week hopefully will bring a whole bunch!.

Jonabis- I totally agree , the fact you got an RFE means they are currently right into your case, so hopefully that will go back and your NOA2 will follow shortly!

I am glad to have finally hit the 90+mark, why? i'm not to sure but it makes me feel closer to that acceptance hehe.

Heres to a good news week!

I've sort of put off coding a list for all of us April filers as I thought perhaps it would make us all a bit more anxious to not see changes on it but maybe it's time for it now...???? We all need some positive energy! What about the next stage.... it often goes pretty quickly after approval... are you all ready for that????


Checking lists has become a hobby of mine laughing.gif

Highway don't apoligise, I think everyone feels that way at some point, even if they don't admit it, it is healthy but the hard part is getting your pysche back up to glass half full, we lost over a month because of our lost application, and one day It kills me that I could have had an approval already, the next I remember it is coming.

Well I have been chatting with someone who went threw the annoyance as me (losing a month because the package got lost) he reposted a few days before me so when he sees his NOA2 hopefully it will mean mine is not far behind!.

Steven also told me we got the NOA1 hardcopy today, apparently the first one was returned to them but that could have been because he was in the middle of moving house, just nice to know that Steven actually does recieve mail at the new house! lol!

On a sidenote I got word that a couple of my Photographs are being published! some shots I took for a wind Energy company from a small plane, and one of Murrayfield on a website called scmap, hehe.

Just FYI...(and anyone else who perhaps doesn't know)... if you click on the + QUOTE button under the post you wish to reference you will notice it will turn red. You can click + quote on as many posts as you like and as soon as you click on ADD REPLY you will be taken to your new page and will notice each of the quotes you wish to respond to are there. Just write your response where you want it outside of the open and close quote tags.

If you just wish to quote text (like I did above without using names..etc) just use the 'fast reply' button, type or c&p the text you wish to quote and highlight it. Then click on the 'wrap in quote tags' button.

"This is the stats page where you can see how many VJ approvals were logged each week for the past year. http://cse.ssl.berke...data/stats.aspx

The links at the top of that page are for the two service centers. It updates often and you can know pretty quickly who got approved without seeing them post a "we got approved" in the forum. If you scroll down, it has the people waiting in order of filing. It's not a huge deal, but sorta nice when you see your name progressing up the list from a super high number, down into the lower numbers. It's just some visual reinforcement that you are indeed getting closer to the finish line."
