K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJobless benificiary

It doesn't effect the interview at ALL. They only look at financials of the petitioner and if you're missing on it, get a co-sponsor who makes enough money to support you both.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNot sent to NVC yet

 

Two month to get to NVC?? Oh noooo! My I-129F was just approved on November 25, Is that a normal wait time for Texas approvals??

 

Not anymore, if you are September,October or November filers then you will be adjusticated earlier. It will still take about 2-4 weeks though so hold on tight. Things move much faster now.

What are you trying to say exactly?


ZeeshanishMaleUnited Arab Emirates2013-12-15 17:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVJ ESTIMATED PROCESSING TIME

As it says its a rough estimate that is made by VJ and not USCIS itself. The Data is collected by VJ Timelines that users submit and based on that they give u a date but if ur past ur Estimated date then you should expect it anyday.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPost I-129f approval to NVC

Since NOA2 are getting accepted way faster then they can be shipped to NVC it would take around 6-8 weeks for them to recieve your case and another week to send to your designated Embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's the difference between the NVC and Department of State?

The other part of the message says:

 

"For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations."

 

As mentioned earlier, National Visa Centre is a part Department of State so its being sent to National Visa Centre.

Read the last part too;

 

"For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center"

 

Your approved Petition has gone to National Visa centre, so start emailing or calling them after a week to get ur case number to track it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsBirth Certificate in English and Foreign Language?

Today i recieved the Birth Certificate from NADRA (Government Records) and as request it has a english translation on it but also has Foreign Translation in it. I asked them if they had plain english version and they said no and showed me plain foreign language one and said the one i was holding was as near to English as it would get and don't get me wrong it has perfect translation and everything but i was wondering if it will cause any problems for my K1 visa at Interview.

 

Should i just get it translator from a translator and take a copy of that or this will do? Please confirm.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCEAC Status Ready - What does this message mean?

 

What he can do is e-mail them asking them about a time estimation for receiving packet 3. That's what I did and they kept it in their records (at least, this is how the embassy in Greece works).

 

BUT also when my American fiance called NVC to ask for our new case number, the employee there asked for my contact details and so he gave them my e-mail. You could do that. Otherwise, he will receive everything by post to the address you have given to USCIS when you first filed for the K1.

 

Thanks i will try to e-mail them then.


ZeeshanishMaleUnited Arab Emirates2014-02-11 02:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCEAC Status Ready - What does this message mean?

Once you get past the NVC, the process will depend on the individual consulate you're going to. According to the UAE Embassy page, they will email you (the petitioner) with the Packet 3 instructions on how to schedule the interview and medical. You might find someone else processing through UAE on the MENA forum who has first-hand experience.

 

 

The alien fiance should wait until they receive Packet 3, which practically is instructions on how the procedure goes on (papers they have to collect, like birth cerificate, divorce decree, photos etc.), as also the link to form D-160, which has to be filled in online by the alien fiance. After they get all that ready, they will notify the embassy and they will let you know when they are ready for you to call them and set an interview date.
I received everything in my e-mail, as we have given it to the embassy. Otherwise it will come through post.

 

 

But heres the thing, how will they get my Fiance's e-mail address? They never asked us for it.

Yesterday i recieved a Physical mail that gave me my CEAC Tracking number so i checked it today for the first time and the following message appears;

I am a little confused, am i supposed to wait for the interview date paper or should i tell my Fiance to start contacting the Embassy for the interview? I always thought my Fiance is supposed to contact them for the interview date.

 

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

CanadaCan I do my interview in Toronto?

 

You would have to move to Vancouver or a province near Vancouver to be able to interview there. It would add to the wait time of you trying to move out there and then have your case re-routed to that consul.

 

ahhh, okay. was just asking since i'd have a friend to stay with there. thanks for the help. Just gotta be patient i guess... lol

CanadaCan I do my interview in Toronto?

When I was in Orillia, Ontario, Canada back in February I had to do the interview in Montreal. That I know of Montreal and Vancouver are the only US Consulates in Canada that do K-1 visas. I would prepare for a mini vacation in Montreal.

 

Blessings

 

 

 

Moved from K1 Progress Reports to Canada regional forum; topic is not a case status update.

 

**Organizer hat off**

 

You will have to interview in Montreal.

 

 

Consul in Toronto does not do visas. Only Montreal or Vancouver.

 

You can have your immigration medical done in Toronto though.

 

 

Thanks everyone :) that's what i thought would happen :( i've been hearing horror stories of their wait times! hypothetically speaking, if i WANTED to have my interview in Vancouver instead: 1) would that be a possibility 2) if so, do you think it would cut down the waiting time?

CanadaCan I do my interview in Toronto?

Hi Everyone,

 

I tried to do a search on this but everything i can find is over 5 years old now. Things change, you know?

 

I live about 45 minutes away from Toronto. According to a lot of these old posts I'm reading the Toronto consulate does not handle K1 Visas meaning I'd have to travel to Montreal which is about 6 hours away.

 

However, on the Toronto Consulate's website there is a contact option for K1 Visas. I'm wondering if they do handle this now or if I should start budgeting for a mini-vacation to Montreal?

 

Any help would be appreciated :)

CanadaVaccination Records

just so everyone knows, i ended up calling my doctor.

 

they advised me to call public health, they provided me the phone number and get public health to fax them my vaccination records (ones that have been done in school, flu shots, etc.). The doctor then added their own records and gave me a copy. This was all done within 24 hours :)


candiizzFemaleCanada2013-07-02 18:28:00
CanadaVaccination Records

I live in Ontario, can anyone give me some insight on howabouts they got their vaccination records?

 

I'm going to make an appointment with the family doctor to get their records, but i got some vaccinations while going to public school.. would the doctor have records of that as well or would i have to go somewhere else to get that?
