K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports; LOSING HOPE & FAITH
Channa and Monyfer --I feel your hurt and frustration .I suggest that you contact an immigration laywer and let them do the work for you . We are all from Oct at VSC . They normally give the Senators , congressman and Ombudsman the same replies as they gaved to u .A Laywer can get some specifics on your case (what is holding up your case ) . I wish you luck .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWHY IS VERMONT TAKING 7 + months and california approving in 2 months?

First I want to say I am happy for those couples getting approved so fast. Its a blessing. But why is vermont so slow compared to California. I am at 7 months now waiting and california is approving people waiting only 2 months???? My heart is breaking and I am really not understanding all this waiting. Is it less staff? Is it more cases? WHAT????? I know so many people on VJ waiting for even longer then me. This is hard to see others be approved so fast. Our lives are on hold....Why do you think the big difference between vermont and california?

Because CSC Rocks and VSC Sucks :lol: Seriously I think that VSC have a larger volume of applications to process than CSC. One time VSC was processing faster than CSC -but that was ''once upon a time ''. :lol: I waited 190 days before I received my NOA2 from VSC. Just hang in there .You are almost there. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFastest NOA2 for K1

i disagree. we should all keep eachother's hopes high during this process. it makes time go easier and we can make eachother smile while waitting. i look at my march fellows, how we chat everyday and talk about a lot of stupid stuff and then out of nowhere, one of us gets approved, then another, and without realising, 2 months are over. "prepare for the worst" is the last thing you should tell to a person who's waitting

All I am saying is dont get your hopes up high .I have seen many get their hopes dashed and were disappointed and became bitter .I like the optimistic attitude but we live in a real world . For the record -some here on VJ are still waiting after 7 mths to be approved --See Ignors List and Oct filers posts . Good luck .

Sorry to put a damper on this guys --but expect the best (3-5 mths ) and prepare for the worst (5-7 mths ) . Dont get your hopes too high .Most of the cases that were approved so quickly were expedites (military deployment, natural disasters, extreme hardships etc) .If you are at VSC--prepare for a long haul .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2. where you go????

Channah&Aaron: I know it may seem like complaining, but I CANNOT even get her a TOURIST VISA to come visit me or see me in the USA. It may seem like complaining to you, but at least y'all got to visit.. If you want to know the conditions... go north, east, or west of Pittsburgh.... Go to the outskirts of kittanning, PA, or go south of Wheeling, West Virginia, or head east into Reading... or go down to the Blue ridge off of I-81 by Front royal, virginia. You drove from Texas to Pittsburgh, did you see ANY of the backwater towns along the way? go camping on the banks of the Allegheny river. You will get a feel for how they live each and every single day.

Imagine eating rice and sardines (no bigger then your index finger) for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Imagine cooking fish in vinegar. Imagine days not cooking becasue it is raining. Imagine not being able to work because the water is too rough or the nets will not go deep enough. Imagine going to work, and coming home with nothing day after day. Imagine looking at your family, knowing there is no money for food. Imagine no hot water at all unless you boil it. No running water apart from one pump in the village. You wash clothes, pots, pans all by hand, bathe, cook your food in, and plus drink water from the one and only pump in the village which is next to a pond. The whole village uses an outhouse to go to the bathroom.

I know I may sound complaining.... not even five months... but can you imagine not even being able to visit except going to see her in her village? Can you imagine seeing living conditions so bad you cannot even begin to tell people what it is like? Knowing how you live back home, and just know you have to leave someone you love in a state which just tears you apart? If it is complaining that is fine... but just imagine living on $20 (either US or Euro) a week for 7 people...less then $100 a month. Electric costs you $12 a month. no stove, no fridge, and going to get groceries costs you $5 each way. You also have to mend nets, patch the house, school supplies, clothes, cell phone, etc. How do you support a family of 7 with just $100 a month????

They survived before she met you and she will survive even if it takes 1 yr more . You are painting a 'figment of yr imagination '' picture . I have been to the Pi several times and I have never encoutered all the secanario in ONE place tha you mentioned . Stop bitching --I waited over 6 mths before being approved and many like Channa waited over 7 mths and many are waiting over 8 mths .Eveything happens for a purpose . Just get yourself prepared so when the times comes --you will be 'ready ''.

Well that's awesome news Frenzy! I'm fairly certain that he would fill out the I-864A since he's a member of her household(that's what mom had to do), but it'd probably be best to post this in the AOS forums just to make sure you're getting the right consensus.

And remember, whatever you do, make TWO copies! You know how they like to give those dumb RFE's out for things they already had, but lost. :angry:




Congrats on the beginning of your journey! However, this is for September 2009 filers, you would be a part of the 2010 group. Just didn't want there to be any confusion!

Thanks for the correction --lol . My mistake --thinking it was Sept 2010 filers .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhy does even Senator or Congressman not work for us ??

So,

after hearing everyones ecstatic experiences about getting their Senator or Congressman on their cases and getting immediate response or Noa 2, we tried.

And trust me, we tried all 3 of who we have.
So Congressman we inquired about 2 weeks ago, followed up on us with a Letter saying 4-6 Weeks it will take for them to get a Respond from USICS.

Senator 1 stated the same thing on the phone.
Senator 2 didnt say anything yet.

JUST GREAT, why is it so horrible to be a New York Resident ?????



in 6 weeks we most likely have the Noa 2 ourselves.Places us at 8 Months. Thank you <-<

Yankee Love --My Congressman and my 2 senators (Florida ) were very helpful in getting the VSC to respond to my inquiry .I send a letter to my Congressman, senators about 5 mths 2 wks and I received a reply within 1 week saying that my case will qualify for expedite after 6 mths since it will ONPT . I was approved 10 days after .They sure will get my vote :thumbs: Just keep asking .

@ Richie Rich

We were able to do do that at first too. They fool you on that one too,..every regular officer wont be able to put it in, cuz the system wont let them. So they choose the Option "OTHER" and write in it that standart bs and satisfy you that they did sth,...

you recieve a letter after 14 days sayin it is still pending..=(

I am waiting for the reply from them .My Congressman and senator is looking into the matter for me also . I am hoping and praying that I get a positive answer soon . My patience is wearing thin . :lol:

We placed an Expedite today cuz we are in the system as September 30th :) and we were allowed to do it by today

I also was able to place a request today . My Congresman will be following up on wed , since the VSC congressional unit states that after March 30 --I can get my case looked at since it is OTNPT ( Outside the Normal Processing Time ) .My Senator is also looking into my case for me . I am keeping my fingers crossed :thumbs:

Yes. What the F is going on here. 5 months? May 5th? That's SEVEN FN months! I am absolutely FN furious right now. Their website still states under 5 months!

As I pointed out earlier --the Congressman get the same push around like us . Many persons just get approved without their help , or just when thier time comes around . Besides the USCIS is telling the Congressman that the 5 mths is just an estimate time .Just hang in there .

Today I received a letter from Senator Cardin with the Privacy Act form that I need to fill out and send back to them. I did fill it out immediately and faxed it to them. Man, it is good to have somebody taking action on my case!

My Congressman representative told me that it takes up to 6 wks before they can give me an update beacause of the high number of such requests. I may get approved before they do anything . :lol: Many times they get the same ''push around '' like us . Good luck though --its worth a try .
