K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDo I dare say this - "But I am GLAD for the long application wait".
Yes I agree this was a good thing all around for us we really got to know one another well along with two trips there to see her when she arrived it was a almost seamless transition minus the culture shock:(

And silly me thought they were offline because when he is not saving the world he is "getting some of that" and we can expect detailed postings that make the Kama Sutra look like a nun's diary.

AHHHHHGGGG that's a mental picture I could do with out :girlwerewolf2xn:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAWAITING K-1 NOA2

Got my NOA1 ON August 15, 2011 and now await the NOA2. 2 Months 3 weeks 5 days and counting. I saw from reading the forums that if you filed in the summer like July then you could get an NOA2 in like a month. I guess the holiday times are gonna be slow. Gonna be a long winter I guess.

Get comfy as best you can :( I feel your pain but things move fairly fast once you get noa2:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsfiance cheated me :(

To Tim/mav,

She told me and the family had a talk with her...I mean the family just thhought she and the guy were frends... but they DIDNT know that it was more...they knew he had a committed gf but it went beyond that...i had a gut feeling that something is wrong because she changed...now that I'm right how is it possible to accept her back... I feel that I dont want to touch her again... believe me her family and frends are SHOCKED by what she did...but this is a nightmare no human should ever experience...

I feel your pain, I caught my wife of 8 years with another man it is an ugly feeling but when that door closed another opened and now I'm with a sweet beautiful pinay.
I hope and wish the best for you good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSurvey Says ? What Form of notification of NOA2, first?
[quote name='GringoD' timestamp='1320675110' post='4993838']
... given all that 'bad-mouthing/bashing' of the uscis.gov website and it's dsy-function,... For those of you who have received the NOA2 over the past few months, (and, perhaps looking ahead... to those who will receive in the next few months) {hopefully, including me!} [and dan].....
Here's the Survey Question:

Did you first receive your NOA2, by
1) text
2) email
3) snailmail
4) other? I can't think of 'other', but it's early and maybe I'm leaving something out.

4 I happen to check at the right moment on the USCIS site then I got text then email.

Middle East and North AfricaSudden CHANGE!!! What do I do!?

Dear VJ :help:

SIGH, where do I begin? :( This man I thought I knew now is showing the "tell tale" signs of Arab male Islamic supremacy. It's so gut-wrenching. October 30 is his interview. We've come this far to call it quits. We've met twice for a total of 7 weeks in 2 years and have daily skype chat for 2 hours stretch. Here are the situations I am being ordered....

[*]Smiling IS now forbidden, only at home.
[*]Sitting with male co-workers during lunch is forbidden, especially when I have been doing it for 15 plus years and grew up in a dominant male household (tomboy, hunting, fishing, and etc).
[*]Even using my eyes to process and intake information (it's a deaf thing to use my eyes to hear/feel my surroundings) - FORBIDDEN! (This one REALLY hit a sour spot).
[*]Transporting a distant male relative from point A to point B is now forbidden, especially when I've been doing it for YEARS and YEARS.
[*]This is just to list a few.

Talk about cultural clash. :huh: I've done my part with modifying, adapting, adjusting... even deleting OLD college male friends from 20 years ago on my facebook. I've gone out this way to dress far more modestly. I have 3 college degrees and hold a respectable job. I've read about HIGH FRAUD MENA men... and never thought this whole facade would materialize right within my grasp. I've educated myself on those "Arab" cultural differences, that I can adjust. BUT, I cannot adjust with the way I communicate which is via the use of my eyes.

My question is.... WHAT would you suggest? Especially for those USC females who have had those experiences. Male input would be appreciated too. I'm rated as an INFP on Myer's Brigg personality test and am the most humblest person on earth.... this is really tearing me up.

Shell-shocked...

I will TAKE any advices with a grain of salt.
~E

Two words...SEE YA!!! no way I'd put my girl through that nor would she to me thank god he showed you in time to be able to put an end to it before he got here.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTalk Of Paranoia

I just returned my RFE for Passport Photo's. I sent priority with delivery confirmation...
I sent blue copy as cover with RFE letter. I placed 2 photos in FED EX little envelope they give from Kinko's

But.... I didn't attach to the paper I just placed envelope in the folded documents. Now I go omg what if they lose them because I didn't staple or paperclip..haha
It's amazing how this process makes you paranoid..

I will be glad when this is over :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAirline madness!

Very Good Advice!!...I'm not familiar with Peru, but I would not purchase tickets until they have the Visa/Passports/Package in hand...you're taking a BIG risk.
Also, unless you really need to be there for the interview, why not just stay home and save the money. Ur gonna need it when they get to their new home.

I took that big *RISK* and bought tickets before visa was in hand and got lucky but I don't recomend doing so talk abt unneeded stress!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAge difference question

My fiance' and I have submitted a K1 visa application. She is from the Phillipines and I am from the US. I have been hearing a little about age difference being an issue with approval. I am 51 and she is 31. I realize this is a 20 year spread, but she is no teenager. I would think that it may be more of an issue if she were younger, say 18-25 and I was 38-45. We are almost 60 days into our wait after NOA1.

What do you VJ'es think? Will this be an issue?

Thanks.

I'm 50 and My girl is 30 and we just got approved on noa2 good luck!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNBI certificate

What card? We went through the same process, and all we received and used was the certificate. And were approved.

this is what my buddy sent to me



: The way that Abby explained it to me is she has her certificate but the new system gives an ID card that she is waiting on. Im not sure if she could get that in Manila or not. I would think so if she takes proper ID with her to prove the certificate is hers.
