K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?
QUOTE (Sylvia_n_Joseph @ Jan 1 2008, 03:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am not happy about waiting so long.. I think my tax dollars should be paying for better service. But it gives me time to study his culture and get the pre-nup ready. This are so different between our cultures and we spent a lot of my visit there going over things and plans for the future. I have also been shopping for some things in his size so he will have clothes when it gets cold here next year. I doubt he has ever experienced anything as cold as 50 degrees.


Yeah, I've been buying clothes for my fiance, too. If yours ever starts to complain about the cold, tell him he's lucky he didn't pick me!! He'd be living in Utah and experiencing HIGH temperatures of 20F in January tongue.gif

On the side, I'm not happy about waiting either. But you HAVE to stay positive or the wait will kill you. Keep spending time preparing for him to come. One of the things I'm doing is making a little scrapbook type thing to send my fiance for Valentines day with pages and pages telling him why I love him. Keeps me occupied (hopefully, he'll like it). Anyway, the main point is focus on your relationship and keep busy. Don't let the waiting get to you. It seems like forever, but isn't he worth waiting for? yes.gif

OHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!

you see, my heart is aching so much while waiting for my NOA2 and then being very jealous and envious of people getting approvals!!

up till this time, we dont have our NOA2, neither in mail, nor in the USCIS site. The site, by the way, still says its PENDING crying.gif

when my fiance got home from work just like 15 minutes ago, he got a letter in his mailbox - ITS FROM THE NVC!!! It states there about our case approved with our Manila Case Number and that within a week, it will be forwarded to the USEM in Manila Philippines!!!

I can't believe this!!!! OH BOY OH BOY!! We never got our NOA2 but the NVC now is informing us that they have our papers!!!

Most likely you'll get your approval sooner than that. 7+ months are for the ones that have RFE's or problems in the security/name/background checks. The bulk of approvals come at 5-6 months from mailing date (I think).

I sent my K-1 visa package on August 1, 2009 and yesterday on September 24th I received my NAO2. (51 days) I am now preparing for the next step for my fiance - her physical and interview. Good luck to others in VSC they are working hard to assist us.


GRATS! Makes me wish I could have filed there instead of CSC... sad.gif

Ours was only 30 pages. I feel like everyone else has had much longer applications than we did which makes me paranoid that I didn't put in enough. XD


I know what you mean! Ours was only about 30 pages as well. I'm not too worried though ... from what I've read, the important part is meeting all the main criteria (proof of citizenship, proof of meeting, that kind of thing) and then the proof of a relationship comes at the interview.

Hi everyone! kicking.gif We just mailed our K-1 application today. We are so excited to finally get things moving, even though it will take some time. Good luck to everyone else who has filed. It will be great to have others to talk to during this process. BTW, can someone tell me how to get my time line to show up in my profile or posts? Thanks bunches!


Welcome! I just wrote my timeline out in my signature.

So we got our NOA1 hard copy today! kicking.gif Well, sort of. It was actually mailed to my fiance's parents' house (the address on the cheque) but they'll be forwarding it to us this week ... I can't wait to get it! Proof positive that all that hard work putting together the package was worth it smile.gif

As it gets closer to the 11th, I'm actually getting a bit more excited about sending it off... not to mention how relieved I'll be once it's out of my hands. The last few weeks have been a pain, lol! Hopefully CSC won't take a long time. According to the stats on here, it says that the average for the last 3 months is 225 days from them receiving to interview date. I hope this is true!


Me too! I'm just (im)patiently waiting for the NOA1 to get here so I can see my own timeline!

well here is the current information from the tokyo US embassy website, i guess they have some staffs left

http://japan.usembas...-important.html

Non-immigrant Visa Procedures (2) (March 17, 2011)
Due to the recent events, we are only able to process emergency visa cases. Please follow the instructions below for applying for a non-immigrant visa.
- F, M, J applicants who already have appointments in March and they need to register with their school/organizations by the end of March may come for interviews as scheduled.

- If you don’t have an appointment for March, please make your appointment in April or later.

- We are able to assist in truly emergency cases under very limited circumstances.

hey guys i heard that the staff at the US embassy Tokyo are the first ones to leave Japan from today. the navy and the air force are also evacuating going to korea in the meantime :/ so i dunno even if we expedite it now, no one's gonna be here to process the visa.

ugh i am actually gonna leave for the weekend going to Kansai area (perhaps Osaka) and wait for the nuclear plant problem to settle. the japanese gov't is pretty vague with the information on what's really going on.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy that you made it through but I had my expedite request denied. I am freaking out over what is going on over there, but the USCIS refuses to do anything about our petition and we have been waiting for over 6 months too.


J&K, you should try again. I saw another February filer from Japan and they said they got theirs on normal process.

hi guys, yeah we got our NOA2 reminder thru e-mail but have not received the hard copy yet. my fiance is very worried because of the uncertainty of our situation here in Japan. because of the radiation and random earthquakes we get almost everyday he requested an expedite and had it approved after a week or so. i am currently not in Tokyo cuz of the radiation scare but may be force to go back since i need to get back to work.

I sent my I-129F in 2-21 UPS and it was signed 2-23. I have not seen my check deposited or anything in the mail. Am I too early to panic? hahaha. I feel like i'm waiting for a RFE at this point since I sent in a sheet w/the e-notice part.


you will get yours soon. my fiance received the NOA1 in the mail about 11 days after he sent the application.

My fiancee and I are waiting for the NOA2 but want the process to move faster once we get it. What can we do while we're waiting?
There are forms and such my fiancee will need to fill out once she gets her packet from the consulate but is there anything we can do beforehand to make sure we can get an interview soon?
I know I'll have to do the I-13..something...the affadavit of support. But what else can we do?

Thanks!

Neither of us has been married, sent in everything they require, sent in TONS of proof of our relationship. We're nearly to our 3 month mark.

Hi S&E,

It’s good to know there is someone in exactly the same boat as us. We received our P-2 on the 8th and our package was sent to GUZ on the 19th as well. Have you checked the DHL tracking yet? When I check it, it shows the package sent on the 19th as being delivered. For Russ and Jie, their package still says it’s stuck in customs. So why there is that discrepancy, I don’t know. We are getting very impatient as well. The most frustrating part is not knowing the reason for the hold up. Anyway, it’s good to know there’s someone on exactly the same schedule as we are. I will keep an eye on your case with interest and watch for updates. With any luck, we will both get something by the end of the month. We’re hoping, at least.

Best of luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsStalled in Guangzhou
And my problem is that DHL shows the package has been delivered. There's a bit of a discrepancy as to when the package was actually sent from the NVC, but on the most likely date it shows the package as having been delivered to GUZ. As I said, GUZ says they don't have our package. Needless to say, we're both frustrated as well. I will call the DOS this Thursday and report back what I find out.

I knew I would find someone in the same situation as us. I'll keep an eye on your case as we can use all the encouragement as we can get.

Thx...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsStalled in Guangzhou
Yes, we've both seen the GUZ shortcut with the P-3. I will call them this Thursday and start working that route. We've both been hesitant to go this route because we weren't sure what they could tell us about a case in GUZ. But since they are in charge of the overseas embassy's, I guess that's a good way to go. Thanks again.

P.S. P-1 and P-2 are NOA1 and NOA2 respectively...

Congratulations, by the way...
