Holy hallelujah... I'm finally back on board the visa train! After 6 weeks of calling DOS twice a week and hearing the same answer every time, I finally heard something different today: "Congratulations ma'am, your visa was issued today." Yay!

We're hoping the passports will be delivered quickly and plan to POE sometime in the next 10 days.

Ugh, what a long haul this has been, but 14 months after NOA1, I should finally be able to marry my man!

Still waiting... <sigh>

There was an issue with my underlying medical condition and I had to have the TB sputum test done to rule out TB. 8 loooooong weeks for results! Blah.

Even though I interviewed in April, I just got the medical approval this week. I sent the medicals and the passports (for my 2 kids and me) to the consulate yesterday. Now I just need to wait for them to print the visas and send them back. I'm really hoping to be able to POE in mid September... 13 months after starting this journey.

I'm glad to hear that you are all getting settled in!

Yay! I'm glad to hear it was so easy for you! Congrats on your safe arrival in the USA!

It seems this is a big week for some of our August filers! All the best to all who are interviewing this week. Can't wait to hear your good news!

For me, I'm starting week 4 of 'no interviews available' at my consulate. <sigh> I was really hoping to be moved and married in May, but it's mid March and I still can't even book the interview. :( Ah well. It'll happen when it happens. No point in stressing about it, right?

Cheers!

It's getting exciting, seeing these interviews really getting started!

I sent Packet 3 10 days ago, but so far the embassy hasn't logged it into their system, and I can't schedule the interview or medical until they do, so more waiting for me. It's a good thing I had so much experience with waiting before the NOA2 arrived! :hehe:

So, tell me... for those of you gathering interview documents now. Does your embassy need the I-134 or the I-864 for the K1 interview? I'm doing a little informal poll, so if you wouldn't mind sharing, that would be cool. Private message is fine if you don't want to clog up the thread here. Thanks!

Where is everyone else in the process? Updates please!

My fiance and I are freaking out checking our phones/emails/UCIS site non-stop the last few business days as I've been seeing approvals for around my date on VJ.


My best advice... stop checking. About a week before my 5 month "deadline", I was checking like a freak, constantly. Then the date passed and I got so sad. I realized I was putting too much stress on the whole thing and decided to make myself go 1 week without looking -- for my own sanity. 3 days later, I got the email. :)
Really, relax. It will happen when you stop expecting it to.

That said.. I hope it happens for you soon!

I'm hanging in there, we found out on the 23rd that Michiel's interview is December 15.


Britty! Come tell us all about it. Let us live vicariously through you while we wait (and wait... and wait) for our NOA2s! How did it go? We need an update! Do we get to celebrate you as the first August filer to get the visa?

Yoo hoo... CSC... wake up!!

Well, assuming I'm here for the 5-month duration (and not a moment longer, ya hear, CSC??!), today marks my halfway point to petition approval. I'll take any excuse I can to celebrate a milestone, so :dance:

The thought of this makes me happy and scared at the same time.


Oh, I am right there with you! I would give anything to be with my Love sooner, but I've kind of reconciled myself to an 8-9 month journey. If I got approved tomorrow and cut the timeline by 4 months... eek! (ha, I wouldn't say 'no' though)

Fingers crossed to a smooth, fast journey for all of us.

Well, my fellow August filers, at 8:46pm EST I received a text, and an email from USCIS. My case was updated, and APPROVED.


Holy schnikes! Yay for you! Ok, I admit, I am WAY jealous... but mostly... Yay you!! :dance:

Congratulations! Fingers crossed that the rest of us see some results sooner than later too.

What did the email say, exactly?


Ooh, good question. My fiance read it to me after midnight and hasn't forwarded it to me yet, so forgive me, but I'm going on sleepy memory....

The gist of it was that the petition had been received and was being forwarded to the California Service Center. Also that we/he would be receiving a hard copy of the notification in the mail and there would be a number on it that we/he can use on the web site to track the petition and not to try to use the web site until the hard copy is received.

I think that's about it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmedical - xrays deferred... and then what?
Thanks for your response. I appreciate it! :)

I did read that actually, but I wondered, since it says "temporary exemption", how it works from that point on. I would hope the rest of the process would go as 'normal', but whether one would have the xray in the US and then forward it to USCIS, or... I don't know. I wondered if anyone had done it and what their story was.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmedical - xrays deferred... and then what?
Hi VJ'ers!
Hypothetical question for you all.
If I were to be pregnant at the time of my medical exam and I opted to have the xrays deferred, what exactly does that mean? I mean, I get that the xrays wouldn't be done at the time of the exam, but what happens next?
Would my K1 application be put on hold until after the babe arrives and the xrays are done, or would I continue with the interview and POE as planned and then get xrays done after the babe arrives and we're in the US?
I'm not entirely sure of what the implications of deferring the xray would be, so any help or insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 filing after marriage question
As I understand it, you have to get married within 90 days of arrival, but you do not have to file AOS within that period. You have time to wait for the documentation you need. I realize that waiting to file will push back your approval dates for AP/EAD, but I wouldn't think it would be any longer than if you filed now and got an RFE for the missing documents. I would wait.

Hope that helps.

Congratulations on your marriage, by the way. :thumbs:
