my tracking number for packet 3 says it was delivered today. July 1st was Canada day, and July 4th is Independance day for the US, so I'm not really expecting much to happen until next week. ughhhh. i just want to schedule the interview!!! i hate not having control! lol

Called DOS this morning and they advised they sent packet 3 out yesterday! I of course went right to the post office and mailed packet 3 as soon as I heard that. :) Here's hoping for a fast turnaround so I can get planning!!

 

 

Medical check up tomorrow! Wish me luck, peeps! wink.png

 

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!!

we called NVC tonight (a week from when they said they received our file) and our case was sent to MTL on June 19th, meaning our case was only at NVC for 2 days!! wow.


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-06-24 22:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

I got a letter in the mail from the NVC today saying that they are forwarding our case to London *duh* they are a bit late tongue.png Later on in the letter it says they will contact my fiance about packet 3 real soon. I thought I had to send in a form first before they would do that?

 

how exciting :) hoping i'll be getting that same message early this week! and nope, as far as i understand as soon as the embassy processes your case, they send out packet 3. from what i've been seeing it's only about 2 days from when they receive it! and that's when you get to send some lovely papers :)

today i called the state department and found out my fiance has been issued an interview date in london on july 19th. looks like our august 31 wedding is a go! biggrin.png

 

that's so exciting!!! congratulations to you both!!


Has anyone had any problems filling out DS-156? I've updated all my computer software and I still can't finish that form. sad.png

Its says error when I hit continue and then internal server error or something like that.

 

I was able to do it fine.

 

Maybe try using a different browser? I did mine on my work's outdated IE and it worked.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

i'm just trying to prepare ahead of time here. have a bunch of forms for packet 3 all filled out already.

 

i have a question. for the medical, from what i understand, you need a record of vaccinations you've had, correct?

 

you'd think a country like Canada would have a go to place for something like that... nope. hahahah

Accoding to VJ it slows the process by a month on average... I've been waiting 2 weeks now. it sucks.

Yes you'll get a notification once they receive it. We got a notification that they received our reply on the 17th.

 

Just got it :) lol Thank you!!

 

On May 21, 2013, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our VERMONT SERVICE CENTER location.

hey ladies and gents,

 

quick question. we sent our RFE back and it was delivered yesterday, do any of you know if we'll get a notification from USCIS that they've received it at all? I just like having a paper trail, i'm a little ####### with that stuff tongue.png 


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-05-21 13:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

 

Did you not include his passport photo or was it the wrong size? I don't think either of our passport pictures we sent are exactly 2x2 because we got them done here in Hungary. 

 

We did include them. It was the same picture he used to get his passport, so i don't really know what happened. maybe it got misplaced or something.


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-05-18 08:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

The weird part is that I never received a text, but I did for the NOA1; either way, I'm glad I checked my status today hehehehe.

 

congratultions!

 

We're Apporoved! Got the NOA2 card copy today in mail. Next step NVC! Congrats to those who got approved this Month! 6 months guys!

 

congratulations!

 

so jealous of everyone getting approvals being stuck with an RFE hahahah. i'll count my blessings though!

USCIS profile has a "Last Updated Date" of yesterday. Hopefully that means we've been touched!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

My fiance called USCIS today and talked to a tier two rep that said the are currently working on applications from October 1st. Clearly a lie. We've been seeing MANY November approvals. We've been in contact with a congressman, hopefully his office will help. Fingers crossed.

Mailed ours November 13

Got our NOA1 November 20ish

Cashed our check right away

We've just been told that within the 43 days we should get our NOA2 (yay!)



Are they going to be able to get through customs? When I called the helpline I was told my fiance wouldn't be allowed into the country due to the type of petition we had submitted...



I've crossed the American border after my NOA1 and had no issue. Either by air or by land.


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-05-03 20:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

is the igor list an official list of USCIS?

 

No, it's not. It's just a visajourney thing. USCIS wait times aren't accurate, clearly. Igor's list is comprised of people on VJ that have updated their timeline. Not official, but more accurate than USCIS it seems.

Hi There

 

I am new to the forum and we also filed our petition last November. Hoping for the best and getting ready to a life changing journey! :-)

 

Welcome! Looks like we've got a pretty similar situation! :)

NOA date approx the same, Vermont Service Centre, Tulsa.

Good luck on your journey :)


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-04-28 09:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

wat exactly does this mean.. on the timeline it says i129f will b ajudicated between june 29 and july 26?

 

It's an estimated date when your case will get looked at. So your case should be looked at between June 29th and July 26th. At that point you'll either get an NOA2 which means it has been approved, or an RFE which is a request for further evidence.

 

Good luck on the wait!

Ahmagad, your hair is so pretty~! <3

 

& OT: It's been 165 days for me. My fiance is coming to visit me for around 2 1/2 months at the end of May, hopefully leaving room for possible RFEs. Then, I'm going back with him to Canada, hopefully, and will attend his interview with him.
Call me weak, but I can't be away anymore. @_@

 

On another note, everyone from VSC should be expecting an NOA2 within the next two months. Congrats to everyone who got approved from CSC! Keep us in your prayers.

It's getting really exciting. :3

 

d'aw thanks :$.

 

Looks like we have the same NOA1 date. It'd be good to stay in touch to compare notes!

 

My fiance just visited last week for a week. Doesn't get any easier saying goodbye, no matter how often you do it, that's for sure.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

We mailed ours on Nov. 6th and got our NOA1, digitally, Nov. 13. It's gonna be awhile now, though. We got VSC.
I have yet to make a timeline but I assume we'll get our NOA2 in May 2013. It feels like it's gonna be such a long time.

I have a question though. My case hasn't made it's way to the case status site. How long does that normally take, or does it even work at all?


I'm in the same boat. Received NOA1 on Nov. 15th. Also VSC. And our case also isn't working on the case status site. Good to know there's other people in our shoes :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhich documents required for the Interview?

Sorry i know this question must have been asked a million times here before and i tried to search it with no clear answers so i am posting them here.

 

 

What are the documents required for K-1 interview (if anyone can give me a updated list i'd be really grateful!)

 

 

What documents i need?

 

and what documents my fiance needs to send me?

 

 

please and thanks for the help in advance!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionIs this Normal?

 

Our case was update on 20th of feb. and we have heard nothing yet.

 

Hang in there we all seem to be in the same boat.


ZeeshanishMaleUnited Arab Emirates2014-05-03 10:33:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionIs this Normal?

Try emailing them, they usually respond within a couple days.  Im thinking they dont have appontment available at this time or the near 3 month so maybe thats why they didnt contact to yet but you really should email them..

 

 

Did you try contacting the Embassy in Abu Dhabi?  I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to that whole process, because they sent Packet 3 and interview appointment to USC e-mail, and I don't remember where I gave that information to them.  However, based on your timeline, you're right there about the time you should have your interview based on my own experience.  Which is considerably faster than some countries, so don't worry too much, this part of the journey is almost over for you.  Just contact the embassy with your case number, and they should be able to get you the information you need.

 

 

I have e-mailed them on 2 different occasion (1 month hit and 3 months hit) with no avail because as the site suggest they dont reply about Immigrant Visa interview dates, i guess we'll just have to be patient. I tried calling the embassy but the machine also said don't contact us about the interview date..

 

 

Mirpearl how do u check they dont have any space available for interview for the next 3 months?


ZeeshanishMaleUnited Arab Emirates2014-04-20 18:13:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionIs this Normal?

Hey friends,

 

Abu Dhabi US Embassy recieved our Approved Petition on 29th Jan 2014 and on 4th Feb 2014 they changed the status to READY for interview and since then our case was only touched once on 27th Feb 2014 and nothing.

 

It seems weird to me because It took only 3 Months from our NOA1 to Embassy receiving our Case and 3 more months and counting for our Interview date + Packet 3?

 

Has anyone been through something similar? Are we missing something?

 

According to some people UAE US Embassy sends USC Email for Packet 3 + Interview date but how do they receive USC E-mail since they didn't ask us for it?

 

I thought UAE US Embassy was one of the fastest in the world but being provided with scenario i beg to differ. :cry:
