Yea it was a regular representative, she put me on hold for a good 2-3 minutes then gave me that information. It didn't take much prying, but she did not tell me it was for k-1 visas, I just assumed.

Spoke to a Tier2 officer in regards to the service request I put in on January 24th. He said they sent a letter stating that they still haven't make 

a decision. He said I have to wait 30-60 to make that decision! OMG Seriouslyranting33va.gif ranting33va.gif

 

I can't even get to the point where I speak to a Tier 2 officer, nor can I put in a request since we're not past normal processing times. Very frustrating :(

I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! We applied late October and recieved our NOA1 right away, and NOTHING since then.. no alien registration number, no updates, no "touched," nothing. Meanwhile there are people here that applied around the same time and are already going for their interview. I hate that they don't give you any information whatsoever. The person I spoke with last time said I can't do anything until the 5 month current processing time is up, only wait. It makes me so upset and frustrated sad.png

 

 

I'm on the exact same situation I got my NOA1 on Oct 22nd. no allien registration # change, no NOA2 nothing. I'm a little worry my case got lost. I call and they said the same time that I'm currently within 5 months processing time! This is really frustration sad.png sad.png

 

 

You two hang in there, lets keep eachother updated on our situations, yeah? I'll make sure to message both of you on this board or in private to let you know what's up if I finding anything out. You two do the same hopefully :)

 

Good luck everyone, we can hang in there.

Perhaps they didn't update their system.  On the USCIS website even to this day it still says On October 25, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) however my fiances interview is in four days.  They also didn't update another member here.  We didn't find out until our I-129F was approved until sometime around Dec 17th or so when the embassy called my fiance and told her to go there.  She told me the NOA2 was actually approved I think Nov 20 I forget exact dates for these but its in my timeline.  Our petition was pretty basic never married before, no children maybe yours is more complex? 

 

Good luck. 

 

 

Thanks for the response, I called them up and it still says 31st it was changed. No calls/letters/emails to either of us. We also have no children, its a pretty simple petition overall. No previous petitions or any complications.

 

Thanks again, hope luck is with us.

Hey everyone, panicking here, we sent our I-129F on October 10th and got our NOA 1 on the 15th of October.

 

It's been over 90 days and still nothing about our NOA2, it seems everyone else is already at the interview state. Feel like having a melt down right now, I called and apparently the last update was 31st of October they changed our alien registration number.

 

I don't know what to do, it feels like they've somehow forgotten us :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponshorship for incomeless fiance sponsor

It's a London thing. For the I-864 you will fill out a form. Here's one of many who only turned In a form from the mom sponsor. The interview was on Sept 18. http://www.visajourn...read/?p=6520831

Do your parents have a pension or social security? That counts. It doesn't have to be a job. I mention that because some don't know. Are you in school in Houston?

 

Good to hear!

 

My father does have a pension from what I understand, he also has a retirement fund from his company as well as his own investments. He is currently not taking out social security, he's waiting to get older so he receives more benefits from it, more than capable of living without it at the moment.

 

I'm actually in school at Sam Houston State University right now, this is my final year so I'm very excited. This whole thing is really giving me sleepless nights because I really love my fiance-to-be and everything seems so daunting, difficult, and hopeless. This whole process is very confusing and I'd love if some time I could maybe pick your brain in a private message or something?

Thanks nich-nick! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. It looks like you're from the same area as me do it's good to hear someone who has had success. Are you sure I fill out no form? From what I've read I still need to fill out a form even if I have no income. Thanks again!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponshorship for incomeless fiance sponsor
Hello everyone, just getting into this whole immigration mess and have yet to file any forms. I want to get everything right the first time. So before my question I feel appropriate to give a bit of background information.

I'm 22 and a full time college student living with my parents whom are both retired in the USA. I'm a USC and have never lived out of country. My parents have a very large amount of assets but obviously little to no income since they no longer work. They recently financed their home (which took a lot of effort considering their lack of income and only large amounts of assets. My fiance to be is 21 and UK citizen. She has visited me once already about 1 week ago for a two week stay. She is coming again to visit in December or one month and go on a cruise with my family to the Bahamas. I'm sharing all this because I figure it may be helpful when we get to the interview process and I'm checking if I'm correct in assuming this.

My questions:

- Will it be possible to use a cosponsorship with my father if he has little income but very large assets? If so, would this work if I'm making absolutely zero income myself?

- My fiance plans to live with me at my parents until I have finished my degree and gotten on my own feet, my parents are more than supportive of this idea. However, is it even possible? My main concern being my lack of income and my fathers lack of income (even with assets) since I've hear fiance visa will not use assets and only income.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOpinions on Frequest Visiting during K1?

Hey everyone, wanted to get some opinions from y'all. 

 

Me (the usc) and my fiance have been together since June 2013, our trips since then have been like this:

 

-September 4 2013    -    September 16 2013                (14 days)

-October 13 2013     -    January 8th 2014                     (87 days)

 

We filed for our K1 visa before her second trip and they sent our NOA 1 on October the 15th 2013, we're still waiting for the NOA2.

 

We want to visit again as soon as possible because we miss each other a lot (of course), when do you think we can do this without being turned away at customs. She had to go to the second room during her second visit to be further questioned, they called me and I answered questions honestly (our application for the K1 wasn't showing up in their system yet, so things seemed tense over the phone).

 

Thanks for any input!

 

We're wanting to have her fly back on the 13th of February (just a little over a month after being home). Does our having the K1 in process help us, especially since she has shown she will return home by doing so twice on time?

 

 

-She is unemployed and not a student, lives with her parents.

-I have yet to visit her, I'm a full time student and can't get the time to do so.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I bring my belongings on a K-1

I don't see any reason why not, you're going to be staying there anyway! The 90 days are just for the K1 - and will be extended beyond the 90 days when you file for the AOS (I believe its extended at least, hope so), so you'll be staying longer than that, you gotta have your things!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!

My fiance is coming from Canada to visit me for the first time since I've filed the K-1. He lives with his parents and the only ties he has to Canada is his university class schedule, would that be enough to convince customs to let him pass? He does have a return ticket as well.

 

I'd say it's enough, my fiance has come twice with no ties what so ever (for 2 weeks, and then for 3 months). She lives with her parents and does not currently attend university or work. Of course that's just our anecdotal experience so take it with a grain of salt.


Churches91MaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-03 21:36:00

Are you asking about how the POE is? 

 

I'm from Houston and my fiance has flown in twice, once for 2 weeks and another for 3 months. The second time they questioned her quite a bit, ultimately she had them call me and then she was cleared for entry.

 

They're very kind there from our experience, have a nice trip!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

 

Hi,

 

Yes when you file for AOS you will need the Affidavit of support. This is when I got the RFE because I did not include income tax forms. In fact, my (then) fiance brought the affidvait of support to his interview at the embassy (in Madrid) and they didn't even want it, they said to wait until he gets here. I imagine Madrid is more relaxed that some places but he did not hand it in during his interview. Hope this helps!

 

This thread is for the K1 visa petition though, so you commenting on the tax form is most likely going to confuse someon since the AOS is something seperate from the K1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat are the packages 1 - 4 and when do I expect them?
Hello guys,

I've been religiously following this site, I wish I knew about it years ago but better late than never...I have a question about the packages, at what milestones are they received and what do they contain?
After my NOA2 was received, I started calling the NVC to see if they've received the package. I finally got through last week and I have been assigned an NVC case number starting with LGS. I then checked on the CEAS site and it didn't recognize the NVC case number.
I still haven't received a letter from NVC that they've received and are reviewing my case, and I'm not sure what I'm waiting for.

Can someone please explain what the next steps are? My fiancé is already preparing the documents but I'm not sure what we're waiting for. Patience with this process is indeed a virtue! ??

Any help is appreciated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 visa Approved!!!

Congratutaion on your approval.Stll can you please share part of your experience with the consulate and question asked during interview.Thanks and congrat once again.


This is what I posted on the consulate review. I hope it helps.
Unfortunately this is a secondhand review however, I will try to be as accurate as possible.
My fiancé went to the interview and said the questions were quite few. He was interviewed by an African-American lady. The questions were brief:
What is the name of your fiancée? RCTN
How did you guys meet? Met through her friend whose daughter was my niece's best friend...it's complicated (and it is...LOL)
When did you meet her? We met in London
Oh, you lived in London? Yes went there for my higher education
Has she met your family? Yes and he showed pics we took when I visited him and his family in Aug.
Ok, you're approved. Collect your passport in 5 working days. Yay!

In our original I-129 application, we included practically "everything in the kitchen sink" to ensure there is no iota of doubt about the legitimacy of our relationship.

So flight plans in tow and the next phase of our lives ahead!
Thanks ya'll!

Hello how are you my name is Antonio and I am just beginning this process. My fiancée is in Ethiopia and we just finishing filling out the forms . I have 3 questions to ask if you don't mind. My fiancée sent me the 325 A form and the Intent to marry form but I heard someone say that her signature cannot be photo copied she signed it with a pen but made a copy and emailed it back to me will that be ok? Also how long does the initial process take to find out if your application is excepted? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Take care and congrats.


Hello Antonio,

You have to have an original signature, copies of signatures are not acceptable for the documents you mentioned.
If you mean accepted as in received by USCIS, you will know that as soon as the package is delivered if you mailed the package with a tracking number.
If you mean accepted as in reviewed by USCIS for completeness, that takes a few days to a few weeks after which you will get your NOA1.
Hope this helps and the best of luck in your journey.

Regards.
