K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2008 Filers
Hi Everybody.......

Just wanted to add some info for the NVC process........

I have received 3 letters with three different dates stating that they received my file and it would be sent to the embassy in one week......these were the 18, 19, and 23......so, anyway....I've called a few times and have been told as well...that it is in review and it is normal procedure.......

So.....I was concerned because according to others' timelines, the cases were flying in and out of there within a few days.....but then I stumbled across a thread on here called "Stuck @ NVC".......I don't know how to put the link in here......after reading that, and now others on our August thread.....there just seems to be some kind of backlog or new procedure that many of us are going through right now.....

So....what I have decided to do is check DHL tracking once a day.....you can usually check by 3:30pm eastern time for current day's info....put in the current day like everyone else has said......EXP 01 JAN 2009A.......gotta put the A, don't know why.....and then look to see what packages have gone out.......if I see one with my embassy, then I will call and ask if my case left.....other than that.....no need to call.....same info/different operator.....however, they are nice and the good thing is....they work until Midnight.....so call after 6pm eastern time to get through easier...

So....hope this calms everyone's nerves.....no need to be stressed on the first day of this New Year.......the good news is....we will all be married within 2009 and with our loved ones forever!!!!! and besides......we gotta have something to talk about to keep this August thread going!!!!! laughing.gif

Good Evening All,

Did everyone see the approvals on Igor's List for today and yesterday? They have now moved into July...although there are still some June's waiting.

I read this thread often but don't know when to pop in and comment......you guys are really funny.

Also, I think I broke the VJ posting "etiquette".......I somehow tapped into the June filers thread and posted a comment or two........from what I've read in this post......I now will smell of June......what to do, what to do?????

Ok...nevermind. The numbers were given to me incorrectly! Looks like the NOA1 date is 6/26/08, and we're officially pending. kicking.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOh c'mon! (Arrested Development reference)
So, the check was cashed! Yay!
But...
The number is EAC 08 + 7 other numbers. This adds up to 12 numbers, NOT the 13 needed to pull up our case.
There is another number that is 10 digits long, but it is preceeded by X7. I doubt this is our case number.

This is REALLY annoying!!!!

Any suggestions?

I am happy for this approval. But why does it have to be so bloody slow for me? I applied in August. Sorry guys, I just hate all the stupidity they keep justifying. Whatever happened to fairness and equality? The system sucks big time! minus points for the US - red tape and power tripping... They all freaking suck!

QUOTE (maliciant @ Sep 27 2008, 11:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I guess that makes this a new record? I can't imagine anyone else has had faster processing, it really does make me wonder what's going on there that some people are getting approved so far out of order.

As far as I know I'm just going to be a typical application that takes a typical amount of time, so I don't have it so bad yet (I mean sure it sucks... but it's not outside of the posted processing times kind of sucky). I would pay a slightly unreasonable fee to be placed at the front of the queue for processing... I'm not sure what that amount actually is, the service centers would just have to try me by posting some amount to do that and see what happens haha (honestly... I think what happens is a huge pay raise because I think almost everyone who knows the processing times would do it, so it's like raising the fees without any drama).



August? Try June! And I know there's people from APRIL who are still waiting...

Do we actually HAVE TO RECEIVE NOA1 by mail for any administrative purposes??
We sent our K1 package on the 18th of June, the check was cleared on the 24th of June. I got our tracking number from the bank and am able to track our case which is in a status "received and pending".
However, still no NOA1 by mail. Shall we call the center and let them know that no hard copy is received?

Thank you!


I don't think you actually need the hardcopy - as long as you have your case # you should be ok.

We have the UPS receipt that the package was received on 6/13 and that is it. Our check wasn't cashed and we have not received any notice of any kind. We're at 26 days, I'm calling USCIS now to see if they will give me an answer or if I have to wait until Thursday. I'll let everbody know what happens. Thanks for your support and good luck to us all! Nate + Daisy


Oh wow....I can only imagine your frustration!! crying.gif
I would give them a call. Do you have the name of the person who signed for it?

Okay, here is my first post! VJ has been a great source of info to me and I have had nothing worthwhile to add. Now I have a question (which I may be posting in the wrong topic). whistling.gif

Our NOA-1 from Vermont was June 12, 2008. VJ says the following:
"Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between October 24, 2008 and November 9, 2008."

The Historical Processing Times link says June 21 NOA-1s are being processed currently. http://www.visajourn...ge=k1historical

Can anyone explain how this can be and why Igor's list has no NOA-2s after very early June?

I am probably being unnecessarily impatient (aren't we all??), but I wanted to make sure I am not missing something...

Thanks much for any ideas on this...


Well here's for your hope:
My NOA1 was June 27th, and just today I got my NOA2. It was predicted by the timeline that I'd get it between Nov6-23rd.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsA little worried for our approval
Hello vj members!!!!

Im just kinda worried about our noa2 if VSC will approve our petition. It is because i and my fiance met in person for only 3 days. It really bothers me a little even though we have complete proof about our genuine relationship. He just couldnt stayed here long coz he needed to go back in the US at that time because of his work. but we do have our pictures together, the hotel receipts, the boarding pass and his two way tickets.

Is it really important about the days he stayed here for our case? Or as long as we have our proof it is ok?

I hope somebody can give some good ideas about it especially those who got approved already...

THANKS!!!!!

My fiance receives our NOA2 hardcopy today. I found out that they misspelled my name. My right name is Brendabeth but on the noa2 hardcopy it is Brendabet. I spelled it right when i filled out the G-325A. Do you think it would create a problem for our further processing?

Plz help me guys. What should we do about it?
