I've never heard of giving themselves a window. That sucks. they had a notice up on uscis website about up to a 15 week delay on receipting times. my case was affected by this i think. i just wondered if any one else here had sucha delay getting first noa.? thank you so much for your response.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Frequently travelling and denied?	I've made many trips down to the states and never had a problem. I usually just say "I'm visiting friends, etc. etc." The last time the officer did ask me "When was the last time you were down?" I stated "last month" and that was all. He didn't ask me any more questions and let me go on my way.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-31 20:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Going through POE	QUOTE (msu17 @ Feb 25 2008, 06:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd stick with 3 hours. Some people get called for secondary processing, and this can add up to an hour or more to the wait time. My husband didn't go through that, so he was out in the normal amount of time. I just figure there's enough stress that day, why add to it by having one hour less to clear immigration. agreed. I'd give yourself two to three hours	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-02-25 18:04:00

Do we both need to fill out I-134 forms? What does my fiance need to do next? How long might it be until the interview? Hi Congrats.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	k-1 visa i have to start!	Breathe! Click Here for the K1 Guides. It's a list of what you need for the intial petition. At this point you don't need your birth certificate, but you can send it in if you like. We sent mine in even though it doesn't ask for it at this point just in case. I've seen people get RFE's for not including the beneficiaries birth certificate with the initial package. Just read through the guides and take your time, fill everything in correctly and triple check what you've done after it's all together. Don't forget to do a cover letter with a list of everything you have in your package and put all your documents in the same order listed on that cover letter. Good Luck!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-02-29 11:56:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 required for Visa waiver program countries?	QUOTE (BigCityDave @ Mar 1 2008, 01:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Laura, I sure hope you are right. I am a little jealous because you are at the Vermont service center. I can almost guarantee you will get yours sooner and I will still have a few months to wait. If it comes by June at least I will be happy but the wait has been hard this week and I am not sure why. Dave, no need to be jealous but I know all too well how you feel. I do feel very lucky that our service center is Vermont but at the same time I'm being left behind too. Late December and January filers are being approved and here we sit. There are people still waiting from 7+ months ago. The system is messed up. Sometimes I am okay with it, sometimes I'm not. I cry, then I get some comfort and encouragement from my fellow VJ'ers and of course, my Nick. All I can say is this...no matter when we get our NOA2s, whether I get mine tomorrow and you get yours a month from now...or I get mine 3 months from now and you get yours in 2 weeks....we will be with the one we love, no matter how much time passes, keep faith in that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 required for Visa waiver program countries?	She can come over on the VWP if Hungary becomes apart of it and you can get married at any time. The K1 is a totally different..you don't need it in order to use the VWP...it's separate. The difference is, she can't just stay after getting married using the VWP..she has to go back to Hungary and you'd have to start over with the K3 or CR-1 in order for her to come back and live. With the K1, you come over and get married within 90 days and then you adjust status. Be patient Dave, your NOA2 is coming in just a few more months. Take each step, you'll cross that bridge when the time comes if for some reason the K1 doesn't work out, which I'm sure it will. Best of luck to you!
