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

Misery loves company, so welcome!!

Nick + Elizabeth... Today's topic is how did you meet your fiancé/fiancée?



Ooh, Jinx! I didn't even see you wrote that till I posted, heh. Great minds... :D

We met on a video game. I used to be a little embarrassed to admit that as it's just a smidge dorky and not exactly the most romantic story ever told, but I'm at peace with it now, haha. Nick used to message me now and again for a few weeks, and then one day we decided to do a little photoshop project together and he asked me if I would talk to him on skype. My first spoken words to him were, ~gasp~ "You're British!" and his reply, "Yes, I am. That's not a problem is it?" Little did we know the epic journey ahead of us, brought on by are geographical gap. Still, I wouldn't change his being British for all the tea in China. I just so happen to find it quite charming :blush:

Welcome to the halls of the depressed and desperate! :). I'm on my phone and can't see your NoA1 date. Assuming you're a Feb orphan? We've got a bit of that here as well.



Hah, thanks! And... I am! February 6th to be precise. :) I suppose it's true what they say, "Misery loves company," because it's kind of nice to be surrounded by fellow waiters again, haha.

Middle East and North AfricaWaiting interview scheduling??? Really ??? been 4 months???
I'm just saying, it happened earlier last month. They may say it only held them back six days, but a lot of threats were made to America during the attacks. Any cases then having to do with Egyptians coming to America.... I wouldn't be surprised if they've temporarily put them on hold or set them up for a closer look. They may not say that, but I'd bet they are doing it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Question
I know we haven't gotten our NOA2 yet but I'll have to start thinking about putting aside extra money if I need to fly out for his interview. I see some people saying you should definitely be there for your fiancé's interview and that in some cases it can make or break your approval. How true is that? I'd prefer to save the money since he would be coming right over after, but if it could sway our outcome then I certainly want to be there.

Thank you for the response. The guy on the phone said to email it to uscis but I see no address. It's weird.... I'm so afraid he will miss some important information.

Sorry guys, one more question. I need to change the address for my beneficiary. When I called to do so I was told to simply send in an email and write our receipt number, his old address, and his new address. However, I can't find an email at VSC to send that too as the only email I see is for follow up for service requests and I see a form AR-11 or something on the website... But he never mentioned that to me and it doesn't seem to apply when I look at the form as it has spots to write in things like 'port of entry'?

Alrighty, copied ALL the passport pages, have Nick's electronic Visa receipt from his visit, train ticket stubs from visiting his mother, letters referencing our visit (as well as IMs, and cell phone texts), our flight itinerary, an affidavit from my father, photos from our visit, a scan of the little sticker thing that was on his baggage in lue of actual boarding passes... I think that's it. Enough, you think? :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresScanning Passport for RFE
Well, he's got a receipt from his visa that has my home address on it that he just found. I can't prove that I bought the tickets as I didn't and neither did he. His Dad bought his ticket on his credit card and Nick paid him back the following week in cash (I feel uncomfortable asking for his Dad's credit card statement >.>), and for me my Dad bought me my ticket to England as my Christmas present that year. So what we have our the passport stamps, our photos together, letters referencing the visit, our flight itenary, an affidavit about meeting Nick for Thanksgiving from my father... should that be sufficent?
Nick + ElizabethFemaleUnited Kingdom2012-08-19 08:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresScanning Passport for RFE
The bad thing is that I threw away my boarding passes which is horrible. I have my iternary and the stamps in my passport. Also, I didn't use my ATM while I was there, or my debit card. I either used cash that I exchanged over there or my fiance paid for stuff, and we stayed at his apartment... And when he visited here we stayed at my apartment. So hrm, maybe he can send me some statements from his bank. I hope I have enough. I'm a bit nervous! You'd kind of think the photos and flight itenary I had sent would have been enough :bonk:

Right, we got an RFE saying we needed to prove we met in the last two years. So currently I scanning my passport. Questions: Do I only need my ID page and the pages with the stamps on them? Can I cut and paste a few scanned pages onto one sheet or is that going to somehow make my scan no good? I mean, should I have a one passport page printed seperately on each piece of paper? They are so weird about stuff I'm afraid I'm going to do something wrong and get another letter..... :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS- 5 MONTHS VSC
I wish I had more sympathy... However, I do have some information that may be somewhat useful. VSC won't let you put in a service request until you are at least at the 6 month mark and even then they will keep pushing it back. When you call you need to ask them what date they are working on, and if you are over six months AND the date they are working on has surpassed your date THEN you can put in a service request. For me, they didn't hit that point till about 6 and a half months after I filed. Still, I am feeling pretty certain a service request does pretty much squat. I have been working with my congressman who today has sent out the second inquiry on my behalf and the first one was about a month ago. The only thing you can really do is wait. They pretty much tell you whatever to get you off the phone. The whole system is super flawed :/

I have a question regarding how much to bring, will it be a issue if my fiance bring 3500 us dollars will they give him a hard time as why he is bringing so much cash?


Also, I think as long as what you bring values at or is under 10K then you don't have to declare it?

USCIS Service CentersJust Venting

I called uscis today and they told me that the VSC is currently processing petitions filed on January 16...they offered no additional assistance ...this was sad news indeed


Hah, they told me the same date over a week ago. I'm sure they are lying so less people can send in service requests.

USCIS Service CentersNOA2 Time Frame by Case
I don't know if it matters that much... We are ideal candidates I think and have been waiting over six months with no word. We are 1 year apart in age, never married, no criminal history, no children, tons of evidence of relationship, he's from the UK... Yet I see lots of approvals before us and some cases that sound much complex to me taking less time. I think it's just a matter of luck at this point.
Nick + ElizabethFemaleUnited Kingdom2012-08-12 18:34:00
USCIS Service CentersVSC Applications

I understand your pain and anger, since we are all the same. My fiance even received an mail responded by VSC from our congressman (We contacted our congressman on July 25th) that "Due to workload priorities this application is still considered normal processing time". This is way too absurd. And we both feel disappointed by US immigration policy and bureaucracy at VSC.

Most important part is my fiance already moved to California in May. If we were able to transfer our application to California, probably we already get our NOA2 by now. It is so ridiculous that they would rather on hold instead of transferring files to CSC.

I have done an I-129F statistics calculation from USCIS website today. Seems they are currently working on Feb 6 (Receiving date from USCIS website) applications the most, and as of today, still 40 Feb6 applications pending out of 105 applications. No idea if your receipt NO is falling under this range. Hope you can get it in one week.


I'm not sure how you figured that out, but Feb. 6th is exactly our date so this knowledge puts my mind at ease a bit. Let's hope it comes in the next few days. How frustrating... It's too bad you both didn't file in California. It's hard to see all the happy couples from there cheering over their quick NOA2s... I want to be happy for them but I feel envious. :(

Well, we hit 186 days since our NOA1 tomorrow. I wrote the congressman and two days ago they sent VSC a service request for us. Yet, still I can see our visa hasn't been touched in six months... I'm glad some of you can accept it and take it stride because I can't. Having our lives on hold, waiting to get married and have our children. It's frustrating and at 31 years old I'm ready to do those things with my fiancé. This whole thing with VSC makes me ill. And, yes, I'm sure whoever is in charge is well aware at VSC's failings.

USCIS Service CentersVSC Applications
It's just really unfair. Back in the beginning before we filed I was told that it would be six months till he was 'IN' the country with me. Now it seems like if I'm lucky maybe we'll get to spend Christmas together. We had even planned to have our wedding in October and had to push it back till next spring. Thankfully, we hadn't put any money down yet on a reservation for a place (as I was worried just this sort of thing would happen). It's starting to feel like he will never get here. Excuse me for venting but I just have to get this off my chest. I got so fed up last night I was sitting in my bed crying at 2am out of sheer frustration. I think that's the first time I have really broken down since this whole process began. I feel like a child wanting to throw a tantrum at this point. Argh! And I don't think Obama will help because I think it's partly his fault we are stuck over at VSC with the dream act. They are talking about it on the News even as I write this. I'm so.... exasperated!

USCIS Service CentersVSC Applications
We are getting really frustrated as well. We're at 185 days today. Last night I wrote our senator asking for help since that puts us 3 days over the 6 month mark. It's infuriating that it's moving so slow and some people at CSC now are only waiting 3 months. I hear it most likely has a lot to do with the Dream Act and what's going on in Syria. I can't really say anything about Syria but it makes me mad that people who came here illegal are slowing down the works (to a near standstill) for those of us who have chosen to use the proper channels. I guess sneaking over the boarder gives you precedence over taxing paying American citizens and their loved ones, or at least that's what it's starting to feel like to me. Sorry if that sounds not so nice, but I am tired of waiting for my husband to be. I miss him to the point that it just makes me ill anymore when I think about it. The last time our visa was even 'touched' was marked as Feb 11th. We got our NOA1 approval Feb 6th. That's where I started counting from for the 185 days. If I counted from when we sent in, it would be nearing 200 days.

We waited 7 months and 29 days (242 days). We did have an RFE but had to file a service request after that timed out.
I feel like it should be close for you. :) Hang in there. You are well past processing times and they should be giving you a speedy service request. (One can hope anyway). Good luck. Keep us posted.


That scares me. We have 30 days before ours times out and I'm really afraid it will. Even thought USCIS told our Congressman we would have our NOA2 within 30 days, which today marks the 30th day.

USCIS Service CentersVermont service center

Yes, as much as I can get my fiance to call, he does and the output is not much really.
We're currently pursuing the congressman's reply, to see if that generates anything.
We filed 2 service requests since our application topped the time limit.
First service request said to wait for 120 days then if we don't hear anything, to inquire back.
The second one ,which we just received the reply of this week, said to wait 60 days.
Somehow it feels like it might be around the corner, for I haven't heard of anyone waiting longer than
we did. Look below on my time ticker... Oh boy. :wow:


I just five short days ahead of you so I feel your pain :( and what the heck?!?! 120 days? That's longer than the whole process SHOULD take to begin with really. I hope you get it soon. There's still a few hours left today. Fingers crossed!
Nick + ElizabethFemaleUnited Kingdom2012-09-28 10:49:00
USCIS Service CentersVermont Service Center 6 MONTHS for NOA2????

In our case, VSC received our I-129F on February 13 2012, we finally received our NOA-2 on September 17th. 7 months & 4 days = 215 total days! And yes it is SO frustrating to see some receive theirs within 30 - 40 days but, what can one do but wait? I was one step away from calling my Congressman when the NOA-2 finally arrived but at least it is now "in transit" to the NVC. From what I'm hearing, (per the service I hired to assist with our application) there is also a slowdown occuring with the NVC which is running approx. 30 - 40 days behind schedule before being forwarded to the Embassy (Manila) and to add to the agony, interview dates for Manila are also running about 2 months behind apparently due to flooding there earlier this year! IF all goes according to the current schedule we will have a total wait time of about 10.5 months. There is a small chance that the process is slowly "catching up" but, there is also an equal chance that some other bureaucratic or technical delay will occur before this agonizingly slow ordeal is finalized. Still, we are indeed thankful that progress is at last being made.

It's very hard to find any comfort in such prolonged waiting times ie. "more time to prepare" etc.. when the only thing that matters to you is being reunited with your fiancee'. And as far as "forgetting all about" this excruciating process once you are finally reunited, I say BS! This experience has, and will forever, leave me and my fiancee' with deep scarring and a permanent bitter taste in our mouths. I can't say that I resent the employees that perform this much needed and important service but, I CAN say that I very much resent all of the precious time that has been forever lost.

So, why the sudden and unexpected change in normal/average processing times?

When I called USCIS to inquire about the delay (which the USCIS itself recommends if/when your application runs beyond the normal/average time of 5 months) I was told the delay was due to "higher than expected numbers of applicants" overwhelming the system. I am certain this overflow is directly connected to the "executive order" issued by Obama in June of this year (Google it) which grants "children" ("children" up to 30 years old!) of illegal aliens exemption from deportation under existing immigration law. (When you call USCIS the pre-recorded message you hear even states that there is a "special" department newly established to handle all such applicants expeditously) The latest word from USCIS also indicates they are now transferring thousands of cases (as is evident from numerous recent posts here on VJ) to other offices in order to facilitate this huge influx of applicants, is it any surprise that so many legally filed cases are being unduly delayed? "Immigration Reform" my a** !

We who have filed for our loved one's to enter this country legally, and paid the required fees, and secured all of the necessary documents, and waited so very patiently, and jumped through all of the bureaucratic hoops, and literally placed our very lives at the mercy of a system which strictly dictates whether or not our chosen partners are "worthy" of admittance, are being forced to accept these conditions whether we like it or not! All for the sake of political gain.

While I may sound harsh or even bitter to some who read this, and while I admit to being a little of both in this particular matter, I do also steadfastly believe that we (American citizens) do live in the greatest country on earth and benefit greatly from the freedoms and privileges afforded us as Americans. Despite the bureaucratic difficulties and the other inevitable complexities associated with this great nation which I too often complain about, I am proud to be an American. And, I will look forward to the day that my fiancee' will become my wife and assume her proper position as the newest American citizen.

Come November, I will also not forget to exercise one of my greatest and most valuable Rights as an American...I Will Vote.

May we all secure that which truly makes this the greatest nation on earth; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.



I am right there with you and couldn't have said it better myself. You took the words right out of my mouth! I will forever be angry about the time we have lost. I am 31 years old and have waited my whole life to meet this man. We want a life together and a family. I will not have children after 35 years old as you greatly increase your chance of complications. After 35 a pregnancy is considered a geriatric pregnancy. Certainly, we will want to wait till he has found a decent job before we start trying as well and in this horrid economy who knows when that will be. All this wasted time makes me feel incredibly angry, when we should be beginning our lives together. Instead we're caught up in all of this red tape and the dream act. Yes, I'm not afraid to say Obama will NOT be getting MY vote. I didn't vote for him the first time and I won't be voting for him this time. I feel completely let down by my government at the moment.

However, like you I still believe America is the greatest country on Earth. If I didn't we'd have gone the other way around and be headed to the UK. Still, I'm angry. I'm bitter. I want my fiance here with me. I'm f(@*#*& heartbroken.

USCIS Service CentersVermont Service Center 6 MONTHS for NOA2????

U have every right to rant rave and SCREAM!!!! I would be so extremely furious as well. I'm already annoyed and i'm a few days shy of 5 months. I look at it as it may suck terribly but it gives me time to get other stuff together. Get the house ready, Save as much money possible, work on the next step etc. I know your time is coming soon. I guess all you can do now is wait and get everything else in order and when he does arrive it will be a smooth transition for him because of all your hard work and planning!!! i really give anyone going through this process so much credit. hang in there i think you will hear something soon... i know that doesn't help but by looking at most of the other RFE situations your timeframe is nearing its end.



I'd feel better if I hadn't been hearing "It'll come any day now" for THREE MONTHS. Really though, I don't know what any of us would do without VJ. The support you get from people on here is amazing, so thank you. I can't imagine what it would be like going through this completely in the dark with no one to even discuss it with. There's so much we learn from each other on here I feel like being without this would feel like a huge handicap and I would be freaking out even more than I am right now, and right now I'm in tears. Yes, I am furious. I want my fiance. I have nightmares about loosing him every night and feeling heartbroken (though I know he would never leave me) and I know it's because of all this going on right now with VSC. I am not even sure at this point if the joy of an approval would overshadow all of the heart ache of going through this. Everyone says when you get approved the waiting doesn't matter anymore, how you don't even think about it... I just don't see how that's possible. I have never wanted to rage, cry, scream, fight, and give up so much all at once. Not that I would EVER give up on Nick, just this process... and of course, I wouldn't give up on this either because of him. Sometimes though, it's hard to continue on with it.

USCIS Service CentersVermont Service Center 6 MONTHS for NOA2????

In my opinion by looking at some of the data it appears the RFE adds about another month or month and a half in Vermont...Posted Image If u responded one day short of a month ago id assume ud finally get the NOA2 in the beg. of October. If not the first week Id be calling and harassing their a$$!!! Its sickening how long vermont is taking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And please don't give up! I have occasionally thought the same thing you have (relocating) but you have made it this far so you 2 can do it! As I tell my fiancé either way ONE of us is moving in 2012.. HIM or I... If he is for some reason denied I am out of here!!


That's how I feel. ONE of us will move, because there is no option of being without him. However, this waiting is making me feel ill. I've called USCIS a few times since sending in the RFE, but I hear the same thing every single time so it seems there's no point in calling again as they have sworn to me they won't do anything till 60 days have passed. I hate it. 12:33pm and even though the day is only half over I feel confident that we will not be approved today. Then you see some people getting their RFEs approved after one week. It makes me want to curse a blue streak! Why did it take US so long to get an RFE?! Why is it taking so long to get OUR RFE approved? What the &#^@% is going on?! I think there's only one other person on VJ from my date or being still waiting. What the heck?! :angry: -breathing breathing breathing- Sorry! Rant got away from me!

They updated the processing times today... https://egov.uscis.g...TimesDisplay.do


This link doesn't work. Also, it's not true. It's the safest time they can tell people they are processing without having to put in a whole heap of service requests. That's why it moves forward SO slowly, even though it's clear they are processing petitions from April now when you look at Visa Journey. Don't believe USCIS. If you are a February filer demand to talk to a supervisor to put in a service request if the first guy who answers the phone tries to feed you a line. That's what I finally had to do last week and I filed February 6, 2012.

All they are doing is trying to get you off the phone and telling you whatever they need to tell you to achieve that goal.

No matter what you say, it is completely unjustifiable that processing times vary by 50 to 100 percent based on state of residence. That's called mismanagement of current resources and it should be fixed today, not talked to death with pipe dreams about future expansion or b/s excuses about how it got to be that way.

Do all the upgrading and housecleaning you want, once daily operations are under control. That's not narrow mindedness. It's prioritizing.

Seriously...why would the OP send an email to the President of the United States...???

I guess it was just to vent and NOT trying to make any kind of change in processing.

If you were trying to make a change you would have a better chance of getting somewhere if you were to send an e-mail to Janet Napolitano, as she is the head of CIS.

Even then, you should probably start lower as their is a chain-of-command in the government.

You have every right to speak your mind as a US citizen, but sending an email to the president will get you NOTHING.

BTW... I have been waiting for six months already and there are some of us that have waited for eight and nine months ... As I have said, the CSC is not that efficient...



It's hard to tell as your profile isn't filled out. However, while I'm sorry to hear that, the fact is that it's not the norm for CSC. Most petitions at CSC are getting approved in under 100 days. That makes CSC a lot more efficient right now that VSC. It's not surprising that people from CSC don't like the idea, but I'm sure the vast majority of people at the other service center would share my opinions on this matter.

So when you say... "we should all be receiving the same kind of service"... does it means that you will be happy if everyone, including us at CSC, were to wait for seven months (like you)?...


I'd be happy if the work load were shared between both service centers so that instead of some people waiting 2 months and some people waiting 7 months we were all waiting 4 or 5 months. Does that not seem fair to you?
