Well as I have been lurking around it seems a lot of Cali Service Center people have at least gotten their NAO1.........I am scared now and even more impatient that we haven't even been touched since Jan 28th....It was received the 18th (logging onto USCIS to doublecheck) ok and last touched/updated was the 27th.

Now I am kinda nervous only cause my divorce was just finalized on the 4th of January.....anyone else applied so soon after a divorce finalization?

Hoping that won't affect us!!!! Thanks!


The processing at the CSC seems to be the most frustrating. You can expect anywhere from 3 to 6 months but usually within that time period. Anything longer than that is rare or due to other circumstances like an RFE.

Best thing to do is cross your fingers and hope you recieve yours in the period between March and May.

If there was an issue with your divorce finalization they would make it known to you. Don't worry too much, if there were an issue with your case they will not just throw it away and give no notification. They will let you know if there are any issues before taking action.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNo jargon and already bored with the visa process
I like to look at the timelines as devices that offer peace and some sort of hope to this entire process. You are right it can be like looking at the clock but you have remember that when you did that it was a time when you were not focused on getting something done or making full use of your time. That is why its best to get busy, and get involved in things in your life that will help you now enjoy life and will help you down the road in marriage with your loved one. This process is not an easy one and I don't think it has been easy for anyone here. You just have to keep the faith and do your best. Life is just like that sometimes.

Kid how did they look at your financial information? Thats all I am worried about.

In CR, they require the usual I-134 notorized, the last 3-4 paystubs (I brought 7), letter from bank (even though my income is triple the poverty line), the last year's (2007) 1040 and W-2. I also brought my last 401K statement and proof of life insurance. The pre-screener lady (before the actual interview) took all our documents and was almost surprised that we had every single thing they asked for and exactly the way they wanted it.

They never even ask to see our pics, emails, etc. I asked if he wanted to see them he said "I don't need to see it. It's clear that you guys have a strong relationship."

I'll post a full report mid-next week.


Well kid brooklyn, would you say attending the interview was a great benefit?

It's been an interesting road; and a wonderful, fast, crazy, horrible, amazing, and now, almost complete ride.

Mariko's interview is April 21 in Tokyo. We have all the documents ready, we're at the last leg of the journey. She's done with work on April 30. The plan is to fly here around May 15.

This site has been awesome. I'm glad I didn't waste cash on a lawyer!

Thanks to everyone for inspiration and good luck on your journeys! I'll keep you all posted!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

I don't think I ever said anything was "guaranteed". blink.gif

I said you are approved and will get a visa, UNLESS they get evidence of something that is against the rules and warrants a denial. If they are sure they are straight up legit, no criminal past, medical good, evidence of a real relationship, it's pretty hard to get denied.


That is true, I mean they are already expecting you to immigrate to America unless there is some issue that needs to be resolved or they find a major problem indicating that they individual should not immigrate to America.

Honestly that is great news that you have only so much time before the interview. Think about it.....soon you are going to be with your loved one! (As long as you have been doing things the way they should be done.)

I am sure everything will work out. Just do everything they ask and remember that they are the boss. Unless they have a good reason, they won't deny you.

Its not like the interviewer is having a bad day and just rejects people left and right because they feel like it that day.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsA few questions about packet 3
QUOTE (Fatpossum @ Apr 20 2008, 10:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi guys,

I received our packet 3 on Friday (WOO!!) and have begun the process of gathering all the information needed for my interview. I just have a couple of questions, first of all, do I need my American fiancee to send me over her birth certificate or is it only mine that I need to take with me for the interview?

Secondly, we are going to get a co-sponsor (My Uncle who has lived in Memphis for nearly 20 years) as my fiancee is a student going into med school and she has no money. I read on the I-134 FAQ's that both my fiancee and my Uncle will have to fill out an I-134. In this case, should my fiancee state that she has no annual income, savings, real estate etc. and should I write a cover letter explaining why my Uncle is having to sponsor me?

Thirdly, has anyone submitted their checklists when they have not yet received all the information they need? On the letter they sent me it said that once you have posted the checklist back, you will receive a letter approximately one month before your interview confirming the date. I am not going to send the checklist back anytime soon as I have only just sent off for a police check and have not received my affidavit yet, I'm just curious if anybody sent their checklist back while still waiting for police checks etc.

Thanks for your help with this, I've booked my medical for Tuesday....170 Quid!!! ohmy.gif I remember when I applied for J-1 visa's in the past my local nurse carried out the medical and it looks like I had a similar procedure as the one scheduled for Tuesday. Is the3re any real reason why you have to use the embassy approved Medical Practice or is it just to wean a few more pounds out of us?


1. You will both provide the "Real" birth certificates.
2. If he has absolutely no income, the provide a letter explaining why. Make sure your co/sponsors financial information is complete.
3. We plan on sending our checklist back when all paperwork is ready to go.

Good luck in the process!
