K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2008 VSC K1 filers
Hey Everyone!

Antonio and I sent away may 23 08 our k1 and VSC received it June 2nd 08 and we received our NOA1 June 6th 08. I wish us all the best of luck and support truly helps!

I looked on the uscis site and it says they are currently processing files as of dec 18th 07 but VJ sites say it shall take 101 days. Anyone have any input?
CmehatFemaleCanada2008-07-07 03:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally! We have our NOA2!!!!
Congratulations for the both of you!! I'm so excited for you. I know how you are feeling! YAY! I pray that the rest of the path to come is nothing but EASY! Smooth journey and then it'll finally be all over and you can be together for ever!! smile.gif


Love and light,

AW thank you everyone!!! I hope we all get approved sooner than later!!! It's so difficult to be so far away from your love. Antonio came to visit over our thanksgiving day. [Canadian thanksgiving] And I hate it how he has to leave and then all i wanna do is sit on VJ looking at timelines lol.

I absolutely love how we're all a big family full of support smile.gif Thank God for VJ!

Don't panic...You say that they sent it so I am assuming you have not received it yet. Wait until you read the letter and see what they are asking for...it could be as simple as something you missed while filling out the petition. Or maybe they did not like the pass port size pic's. Anyway you will not know until you receive it in the mail and read it. Best of luck good.gif

An RFE can be for just about anything, even as simple as a passport pic, just wait for the letter and provide them with what they request even if you had already sent it.

Typically they do not RFE for evidence of communication, many times it is for something already sent, but may have been misplaced by the adjudicator at USCIS.

Yeah, I know it does seem odd. Well My fiance is the American and I'm the canadian. His mother read him the letter over the phone. That's what he told me which I thought was very odd myself. I guess I'm going to have to wait till he gets home so we can go over the letter properly. I just didn't know if everyone had to send in info like that on the fiance's parents! But thanks I guess I'm gonna have to wait and see.



unsure.gif Did your fiance send his long form birthcertificate in?. its asked for in the petition and the long form would have both parents if known their age at birth, state of birth and full name on there? well thats whats on my fiances, and i have to be sure to have my long form too, at the next stage. perhaps his is lacking this info or perhaps as someone suggested before his parents are not native born but naturalised? unsure.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI received an RFE because they want my fiance's parents info
Okay, so I finally found out whats really going on. His birthdate is on the birth certificate but it was posted on another date. I guess they date the birth certificate on the day they file the certificates. So they want a letter from his parents stating his proper birth date and a better copy of the certificate! That clarifies everything for me. Great, now back to waiting...

We received an RFE because they want my fiance's parents birth certificates. What could this be for? Or is that something we were supposed to send but completely overlooked in the application process? Thanks!

And how long after they receive our RFE does it normally take to continue on with the process? I hope we don't have to wait for another 3 months :S

You don't need to send the whole I-129F petition package. What you do is give them what they ask for, and mail it together with the notice for RFE they've sent you (that letter you are waiting to arrive in the mail is ur original receipt that has to be mailed back).

CmehatFemaleCanada2008-10-18 08:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsquestion about RFE
So we had received an RFE and should be receiving the letter to see what evidence we are needing to submit. I was reading a page on RFE's where it states to send the 'original receipt' and not parts or just the RFE alone. Does this mean, we are supposed to re-submit the entire 129F all over again? Pls help unsure.gif

Hi everyone!

Need some insight pls smile.gif My fiance and I have been approved for our NOA2. Now we are starting to gather up the necessary documents just to be ready when his hardcopy arrives in the mail any day now.

I understand that he needs original copies of all his documents [129f,g325a,I134,intent to marry]

I mailed him a sample of an employment letter to give to his HR.

Now, when it comes to the pay stubs, tax receipts [w2,irs] do these need to be copies or original copies? Also his birth certificate?

I'm confused because if I send his original copies then they ask for original copies at the interview.... wacko.gif pls help! Thanks!!

Have you registered on the USCIS website? You need the WAC number from your NOA1. You go to uscis.gov and click on "case status online" and create a username and enter that number from your NOA1. Then make sure you sign up for email notifications good.gif

I check those lists all the time but never find deals on the flights I need. sad.gif

$330 RT to London is fantastic, but is the length of stay limited? I think a lot of times the last minute bargain fares only let you stay in country a few days. That makes the airfare expensive if you look at it on a cost per day in country basis.


Yes, you're right. They're for weekends or long weekends. So they're worth it depending on how far away you're fiance is. For me, they allow me to have short, but frequent, visits. I know for a lot of you with really long flights, I see in your timelines how your visits are weeks and even months long, which I envy, but then you have to go months without seeing each other. There's always a trade-off, I guess. My SO is planning on spending a whole week and a half in NY next month and I'm ecstatic about it, since we usually only have 3-4 days together. So yeah, it all depends on your situation. biggrin.gif

It pays to check the internet frequently - sometimes you can get some great deals. When we planned ahead, I got a round trip flight from Chicago to London for $1,300 mad.gif and on the spur of the moment he got a ticket from London to Chicago round trip for $600 - go figure!


Agreed, last minute deals can be wonderful, and are often how I visit my SO. A lot of airlines put out a list every week on a certain day (Continental on Tuesdays, American also on Tuesday, others, usually mid-week.) American Airlines has a roundtrip for next weekend from New York to London for those of you there for $330 + tax. You can sign up on most sites to have their lists emailed to you or you can just check them every week. A roundtrip from Toronto (where my SO lives) to NY is often around $350 if you book in advance, and about $160 on Continental's last minute deal. They are definitely worth checking. good.gif
