Well since you have just been transfered, hang tight and while doing so, yeah do some of your other forms. There is talk about the DS230 being replaced by the DS260, but hopefully I'll get packet 3 from Syd and see if they have changed what is current on their packet 3 and I can let you know. 
The DS230 is a real PITA. To be safe and ready, do that form first as it can take some time thinking of all your previous address etc.
The new DS260 is all online, so no need for printing. It gets sent straight thru to the embassy. 

I'll give a link to what I found about packet 3 and you can make a start on what you feel like..

Hope this helps. Just go thru 1 at a time. 







 

Thank you so much for your help Ozgirl! I will get started on the DS 230 this weekend. It's only the DS 230 part 1 that we send in when we get packet 3 right? Every weekend i'm doing a little at a time. I'm hoping to be in the US in December but no later than early Jan as our wedding is March 1 and i need to do hair and makeup trials, tastings etc! Very exciting :) Maybe we will see each other in Sydney. Who knows!

Thanks.. I feel another approval coming on tomorrow for someone or many.. Your name is on the list of upcoming Aysidrak. Maybe we can have our interview on the same day in Sydney. 


If our approval came tomorrow, i would be completely amazed as our file just got transferrdd Sept 4 to TSC. But i am just starting on my documents. I have my fingerprint check on Tuesday. Then i still need to do all the documents and don't know where to start lol.

The case just before mine got approved on July 31 and it is September 3 with my case still at initial review so i don't think it means you will be next. At least in my case it doesn't.

They seem to be a tad slow processing RFE, but i'm not complaining. I spent the good part of today doing the DS forms needed for packet 3. wow.gif  I think I printed out about 34 pages of forms. For those with kids coming along the journey too, I have 3 children under 12yrs who will be joining me, start the forms now so you've got enough time to fill it all in and make sure you have the right children with the right birthdates and passport numbers. rofl.gif  Learn from my mistakes. 
Wishing well wishes to everyone.. Been a big day and i'm calling it a night. Hope to wake up to VSC approvals. dancin5hr.gif

 

I've got my fingerpoint appointment booked for Sept 10 so i can send off my police ceritifcate. Not sure where to start for preparing my packet 3 things. I think i'll ask my fiance to start getting his stuff  ready including tax returns etc to send to me and meanwhile i can work on DS forms.

It seems like CSC is pumping out NOA2s like crazy. I just read that a couple got their NOA2 in 28 days after their NOA1. So unfair to the others waiting and that filed earlier!

I am with blackcajun. I have a feeling ours have been forgotten but let us try and stay positive.

Not expecting any approvals from us May filers stuck at Vermont anytime soon but just wanted to say hang in there guys because God's timing is the best timing and everything will work out for all of us. Just thought a little encouragement was needed even for myself. It's 11:00pm down here in Australia so goodnight all and hang in there!

I am trying really hard to keep it together and stay positive. I really hope files stuck at Vermont get touched soon as our wedding is March 1 and i hooe to be in the US early Jan to finalise wedding preps.

Their response:
 






Thank you so much for sending that on our behalf. Much appreciated. My file is also still at Vermont in initial review and the case just before mine was approved a month afo at tge end of July.

Up it goes.. people filing at the start of August are getting approved elsewhere now..

 

Yeah pretty upsetting to say the least. Even some June couples are getting approved. Trying to stay positive though.

Thanks.. We had word today that our RFE has been received, so now the wait continues for NOA2. 
Which state in Australia are you in? I'm in South East Oz.

 

That is awesome! Fingers crossed for you too :) I'm in the SE as well, Vic!

Goodluck.. You wont need it thou dancin5hr.gif

 

Thanks. It was a good day. 

 

 

I would maybe wait half way during your police report time to book your appointment, just in case your interview comes before your report. 
 

My fingers are crossed are crossed that you hear something very soon star_smile.gif

 

Thank you Ozgirl1981! It's great to see a fellow Australian having their file touched! Gives hope :) I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

just tipping through to say hi and see if there are any new May approvals. I am getting settled in my new job and still waiting.

 

 

Still at initial review. Really hoping for good news because we are now in our estimated approval time period.

Hoping for a good week of many approvals! Hopefully there will be touches on the remaining May filers at Vermon (mine included)!

Getting pretty nervous now. Our file is still at initial review and we're in the estimated time period of approval according to stats on here. Hopefully we get touched next week.

Any approvals this week from any May filers still at Vermont? Still at initial review but hopefully they will touch our files soon.

Not yet. Still at Vermont under initial review but trying to stay positive. I have my finger print appointment for my police check on Sept 10 so as i get that sent, i will start filling out all thw paperwork soon and have my fiance fill out his relevant forms:) Gotta keep the faith.

Wednesday, here we are. Let's see what happens today.

 

Our NOA1 dates are similar. Mine is May 16! Let's hope for the best!


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-21 06:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

I am trying my best to remain patient...I have my entire wedding planned and just need my fiance and a date!!! VSC transferred a lot of petitions to TSC and they are already being touched while I am still at VSC and it looks like they will take their own sweer time to process the few petitions that remain at VSC



I am right there with you blackcajun. Let's keep positive. I just hope the files at Vermont get touched soon.


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-20 03:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Hi, anybody got NOA2 approved today?


Not yet. Still in initial review at Vermont. Doing my best to be patient.

aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-19 22:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

It's been nearly 3 weeks since the file just before mine got approved. Really hope to see some action soon.


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-17 05:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

me too. I am frustrated. $340 to be pushed to the side

 

I am not upset about the money aspect. It's just more the fact that there is no order to the process. We need to hang in there and be patient. I'm going to start working on my forms and documents so i can have most things ready by the time the NOA2 comes. I'm starting on the police check this weekend as that takes a while to process.Hang in there!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Hey guys! Looks like we're in this together (all the remaining May filers left at VSC). I'm starting to get very annoyed it and a little upset seeing others ahead of me being approved. Trying my best to be positive.


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-16 08:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

May 21st!? Not fair! I'm NOA May 16 and still at initial review. Sigh just gotta be patient i guess.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers
BlackCajun. You are not alone :) We seem to still be at initial review aswell and our case is still at VSC. There seems to be a small group of May filers who filed between around mid may to near the end of May who for some reason are still VSC.Let's hope to see some movement soon! I hope my file would be touched as the one before mine was approved 2 weeks ago but still no word. Let's remain positive plus they better hurry up. Our wedding is March 1 lol.

I keep reminding myself that there is no testimony without a test. My fiance and I will one day look back at this waiting and be able to tell our kids and grandkids how we met and how long we waiting on immigration before we could get married.

We all will be waiting in NVC and interviews soon


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-13 02:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

I know, I am like 25 away from that one and no activity since I changed my address. Hopefully, VSC will pick back up to approving since they have transferred a large amount of files and move us to the next phase. I really don't want to get transferred and end up waiting behind the other files that have been transferred. I too am getting nervous!!!

 

It's good to know there are a few of us who have not been transferred. Hopefully this means they will touch our files sooner. Let's be positive :) I'm going to start filling my police certificate application form this weekend to send it off and get my police check so at least that part of preparing for the NOA2 is done.


aysidrakFemaleAustralia2013-08-09 09:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Are you referring to the one that was approved on July 30???

 

Yes that's the one, but not activity on my case yet. It's making me nervous but i'm trying to be calm lol.

I am in the same boat as you blackcajun. File hasn't bee touched since May 28th and they receiced our package May 16th. Let's hope the remaining May filers at VSC will have some action soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

 

My NOA1 is May 20th and Alien # chnage is also May 28th...I too pray that they don't forget about us. My wedding is planned I just need to confirm a date and I see petitions before and after mine being approved, transferred or RFE. I am in the EAC1390346XXX group.

 

I'm wondering how some May files were in transfer and others with left at VSC when they have also had some June files transferred. My no. is EAC1390345XXX so we are pretty close!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers
Noa 1 of May 16 and A# no, change on May 28 here. No word of a transfer. Hoping they don't overlook the remaining May filers and just move to June. We have already planned our wedding for March next year!

NOA1 of May 16 here! Getting very excited although it's hard to check on the USCIS website around my number. There are barely any I-I29F's! :S God be with everyone in here and hope you all receive the good news soon! :)
