K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?
just a reminder; remember what the guy that used to an adjudicator said; many of these folks work from home and may only come to the office once or twice a week; you petition could be approved but be at home with an adjudicator; when entered into the system it will show as approved.

another point, I think some of the fast approvals were because these folks came back with spotless criminal records, no previous marriages, etc and might have been easier to approve than some of us with divorces, previous K1 applications, previous criminal records-no matter how minor, etc

If I lived closer to VSC I would organize a protest outside their building. Captain Ewok and a few other members did that outside TSC a few years ago and got good results! They had big signs with names and waiting periods listed. Check out his profile...he has pics. Very cool!

ETA: I would also need more vacation time, a car that runs better and someone to watch my kids in order to make that protest!!!

I'll be up in VSC area for Thanksgiving visiting Mom, who lives 1 hrs car drive away. If anyone wants to do any thing on Friday 11/23, please let me know.



That is a government holiday, not sure that is the best day

Now i have to depend on my F'n horrible lawyer ...God this is getting more and more stressfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would say that is good and bad news. Good because you know the file is with an adjudicator and will get worked on as soon as the RFE is answered; bad because it is just one more step

good luck

Alright, I just called my lawyer and I'm kinda scared about contacting Pat's congressman. I told him that some friends had recommended me to contact Pat's congressman if we don't hear anything from USCIS by the 6 months timeframe.....and he said that it could work or it could delay things more cause USCIS doesn't like when applicants get congressman involved with this, he said he wouldn't do that. So I was very pissed off and just wanted to get off the phone cause we payed him for nothing.....anyways, I asked him very straight, what do you recommend us? He said, Wait for the notice and don't send any letters.
The @sshole said that in case USCIS exceed the 6 months, they will let us know and I asked if he has any idea for how long more could that be in case it happens...and you know what he said!?!!? I don't know, I'm not the government, it's up to USCIS.....
MOFO! mad.gif
Now, I don't know what to do......I only hope I get my NOA2 ASAP!!!!!


Everything I have read and heard is the USCIS is very responsive to congressmen; they (congress) approve budgets and have the power, use the power available to you.

Ok, I'm still skeptic about touches, but we had one on Oct 10 (probably because of change of address), but then also one yesterday and one today!! After 4.5 month something changed on that web site, so maybe!!!!



all the touches sounds to me like they are training new folks and the new folks are working on your application. Gets touched by new employee then touched again when the application is reviewed by regular employee

Thanks for updating the list, I made the list at number 190; I'm in the top 200 so that is great. If VSC will do 20 a week, that is only 19 weeks

I feel the approvals will keep coming in a couple a day now. I was a government employee for three years back in the 80's; new employees are put through a difficult training program and will be used to help with only little parts of cases for many months. I am sure things will start to move for us all.

Idea for those of us watchng for an email; many cell phones can be setup to alert you anytime you receive an email from a specific person or website; I have my phone programed to notify me anytime my fiancee writes and anytime I receive an email from USCIS

It is a big help not to need to wonder all freaking day long if you have an email. I admit, it is the best part of my day when my phone tells me I have a n email message from Alla. Sometimes I feel a little psychic-I can feel she is thinking about me or writing me because I will get an email notification 5 minutes later; never believed much in most psychic's but I do believe we can be "in-tune" with our loved ones.


I think it's enough pain for me to wait all day for an email from CRIS....can you imagine expecting everyday, everywhere you go, a notification on your cell....I will probably be going bananas!!!! wacko.gif



maybe my point was missed; this frees me to go do work outside in the yard and other tasks with having to come check the computer every 30 minutes or so; I know nothing has come in because I have not received any messages.

Hope all is well with everyone considering. I've RSVP for the teleconference. I will take a lonnnggggggggg lunch.

Thanks



I wish they would send my $#%& application to CSC! mad.gif


Careful, it is taking CSC a month or more to just issue NOA1; so if the sent your application would it remain in mail room for a month until someone routed it to an adjudicator

Some of you may not be very happy with this news but I just received my NOA1. My application was received on Oct. 2 and my NOA1 is dated October 3. One day service, I hope the rest goes as fast.

Please add me to the list of folks with a NOA1 waiting for a NOA2

I hope this indicates service will pickup for all of us.

How do we expidite a petition and what is the timeframe for an expedite petition. To me, it is worth some extra money to expedite; heck, a trip to see my fiancee cost over $4,000 so it is worth something to help her get here faster.


your trip got pretty expensive..



Actually, that is a pretty cheap trip to Russia. Cost to fly over and back is about $1500 plus the hotels, taxi, food, etc. About the cheapest I could do it is $2500 but then I need to count the week of lost pay and then it goes over the roof

here is the section of USCIS about expediting

If your case is at a local office at the time you need to make your emergency request, please go to the local office in person to make your request. Please be sure to take all supporting documentation with you.

If your case is at one of our Service Centers or the National Benefits Center, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to receive further instructions on where and how to send your request.



I do not qualify! Wait, maybe I do, based on Humanitarian grounds; I am certainly a more loving and humanitarian person when with my SO; so I quality devil.gif

I think to expedite a petition there has to be an extreme circumstance....i dont think anybody could just pay and bypass the process...id that was the case i would have done it a long time ago....Check on the USCIS website , i think that is where i read it


Thanks; not wanting to bypass anyone but also wanting to go as fast as possible.

I know your wait was difficult; I wish you the best. A timeline of under 180 days from submission to interview is not bad these days; I would be most pleased with a 6 month timeline. Just to keep my spirits from hitting the basement, I have planned an 8 month period but I sure hope it is only 6 months.

I guess we are in the same boat as september filers. Looking at all the delays and the long processing times here, seems like we are in for a rough and very long ride. I also recieved my NOA 1 on the 10th of september, so will be good to see how we both progress together. one question tho, i saw from your timeline that your case was 'touched' ... how do you find something like that out? ive entered my reciept number on to the USCIS website and created a username but no touches as of yet.. Is this where you are notified that your case file is "touched" ?

Ab


yes, it will say on the site if touched (updated), remember touched can be as simple as being moved from one location to another-not necessarily someone viewing your file or judging your information

2. VCS will pick up the pace....visa gods or not.....reality is...we have a choice...we can be negative for the entire 112 day average wait time...OR we can choose to find the good and use it in a positive way....hmm..I for one don't want to spend 112 days miserable.....anyone else???


Actually, I think it's realistic to hope that VSC will pick up the pace. There had been a significant wait for NOA1's, but my own wait was very short in terms of business days: VSC got my I-129F on 8/31 and issued my NOA1 on 9/4. That is even shorter than it sounds -- Labor Day weekend was 9/1-9/3, so in other words, my NOA1 is dated one business day after they received my I-129F. That's progress! Another member from the August filer thread had the same experience, too. And as the receipting backlog improves, hopefully the NOA1-NOA2 response time will improve. That's my take on it, anyway; I don't think we are looking at an imminent return to hearing about NOA2's coming 11 days after NOA1's, but I think the drought we saw lately is going to be temporary. Lord willing, things will then proceed in the proper direction, time-wise...


The NOA1 is generated by the outside contractors, not by the adjudicators so that is not an accurate indicator of the progress of NOA2 application.

If you notice, you had your check cashed and your NOA1 four days after you filed. That's because Vermont is SO much faster than California. The average wait time for an NOA1 from California is 33 days. Craziness I tell you! I know that the whole process is a long wait, but if I at least had my NOA1 then I think I'd feel a bit better knowing that I was waiting for a good reason! Does that make sense? I guess I just won't feel like we've actually started without at least having the check cashed.


Your feelings are exactly the same as mine, I am thankful I filed in VSC although in the end the wait will be almost the same. I am glad to see some movement of a NOA1 even though it will not affect the process one day

I just signed up for email notifications and noticed I was "touched" on October 7; most likely this is because of my request for waiver for filing a second K1 Visa application; whatever the reason, I am excited.

Nevertheless, my package was received today, October 2 at approx. 10 AM in Vermont Service Center. I am sure hoping for a quick turnaround, check cashing, NOA1, NOA2, no RFE's, and sending to NVC and Moscow quickly.

I think the fact that you asked the question, by definition, indicates you were considering answering untruthfully.


blink.gif

I didn't see any dishonest intent from the OP at all. There are a lot of forms, and a lot of instructions. This whole process can make you absolutely freaking crazy. Sometimes the right answer doesn't jump out at you, even if the instructions are clear, because when you're hip deep in paperwork it's hard to see the trees for the forest. So I can understand why the OP asked the question, even if the answer seems clear after further review. I can also understand why the OP might think to leave the children off, if they're not going to be part of the application. Sometimes what's clear to one person may not be clear to another.

It's all good. good.gif



Thank you

Thanks for the answers, just a clarification; we have no plans to lie or to put any dishonest information on the petition. The wait is long enough without taking any chances that would make it longer or would result in denial.


I think the fact that you asked the question, by definition, indicates you were considering answering untruthfully. Perhaps you misunderstood, "13. List all children of your alien fiancé(e) (if any)".

The words "if any" are key to the answer to your question.


with all due respect, are you nuts; I have never lied and never plan to start; I was asking for clarification and information; not as a prelude to being dishonest

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNot including children on a K1
My fiancee has two children, one is 19 and the other is 21; both are working in the USA but do not want to be included in the visa because they want to return to Russia after they complete their work assignments. My fiancee is from Russia and will will be processed in Vermont and in Moscow, Russia.

Other complication; they have overstayed their work visas; I would guess they are now here illegally.

MY question; if the children will not be part of the visa do they need to be included on the K1 Visa. Can we just not list them as part of the K1 visa applications
