K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to Package the Package
Not that this is anything special since people get approved with different ways of doing it.
I put on top a high-level table of contents.
Then for each section listed, as appropriate to me, I put a more detailed TOC.
None with page numbers, just a heading of what was behind so if they were looking for something, they could find it with relative ease ... at least to my way of thinking.
Hope this helps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRussia Processing times

My NOA 1 date was Mar 3, 2006, NOA 2 date of May 8, 2006, and my fiancee's interview date is August 14th, 2006. This is all out of the CSC and since it was pre-IMBRA I'm sure it will take a little longer for you. But it went faster than I thought it would, at least in my case. Good luck and hang in there, it will be worth it!!


Our timelines are almost identical.

You can also go to the VJ link "Immigration Timelines" and see some history.

bwaaderant and I guestimated and the guess was within a week based on the data that others entered though the sample was very small.

That's why it's very important for people to update and keep the timelines updated so people can answer questions like you've posed by frequently looking at the Timelines.

All the best!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGot NOA2
I don't know abou the NVC at present; May 2005, there were several of us whose fiancees were Russian. We called the NVC phone number and periodically asked whether the petition had been received. When it was, they told me and told me the MOS case number. Then it took a couple weeks to go the the US Embassy/Consulate in Moscow. The web site for the Moscow Consulate updated back then around Fridays each week. You'll have a case number [MOS] and application receipt number. Last May, they were both listed for most people along with the date of interview on the web site.

Don't know post-IMBRA; pre-IMBRA we put when/how we met, when we saw each other in person, and that we were in very frequent telephone conversations. If it's asked for, provide it; blanks or lack of sufficient information seem to be grounds for delays.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNVC Adminastrative REVEIW
Heads up: It'll take probably another couple weeks for them to get it and enter it into the system there in Moscow so you'll be on pins and needles again. Just be kewel; it takes a while. Look on the Embassy/Consulate page with scheduled interviews and one day you'll see your MOS and petition number with a date. By that time, she'll either have the packet or it'll be on its way. Are you going for the interview? I highly recommend it. We had a good time last August and stayed on Noviy Arbat within walking distance of Red Square and 5 minutes from the Embassy. If you want to know about the apartment, let me know and I'll send the company I've used several times to go to Russia.

When I checked the above site it shows CSC is now dealing with applications with a receipt date of April 2006. :( However On this forum I am reading that some have had a two month processing time.

Am I reading the website wrong?

Also happened to me over the thanksgiving holidays. I was about to go to the post office the next day to cancel the signature requirement when I checked the tracking number again. It had been picked up within 24 hours of the post office leaving a notice of "signature required".

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Sent to Wrong Service Center!
I sent my forms to Texas who forwarded them yo CSC, Now my timeline shows the following information;
Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as March 14, 2007*.

Someone on my friends list is showing an NOA1 dated a day after mine, but shows an estimated
Adjudication a month ahead of mine, the only difference being that TSC is still being shown.

I am confused!!!

I have gotten so spoiled reading Gary's report each week, I go through withdrawal when he does not do it...



I have too missed Garys report, but as I am in the uk at the moment, I thought my timing was off, then it became Monday and I realised he is probably having fun with his family.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApproved! Here comes the questions. Please help

Our application was approved on Dec 5. :dance: Much earlier than we anticipated. We only waited two and half months! We hope that someone in this forum can help us with this. My fiance currently holds a B visa and would like to make a visit in the next month. We are worried that the custom official will give her a hard time as she enters the US. Keep in mind that she is still going to go back to her country after. Perhaps our worries are sprung up from countless days of waiting and anxious moments. Has anyone entered the US with a B visa while their I129F has been approved? -Thanks for your help

S :)


The usual answer is if the fiance/e can prove strong ties to the country to show they will return, they can usually get in. Hope it works out for you.
