Good morning, May filers!

8 approvals now, 4 of them from April. I think the current trend has been that once the previous month (on VJ) as reached the halfway point, they move into the next month. So with that, only 24 April filers left to go and we can see some May filers getting their approvals smile.gif

Hopefully that will be in the next week or two!

Have a good day!

TiNa

Correction...the Berkeley stats say 5 April filers of the 8 this week! good.gif

What is ithe "Berkeley stats"?,,,,,,,,thanks.

I am glad that many are doing good for the May Filers of 2009. I am getting ready to go to China next week for 3 weeks, see My Xixi, get married, and start with the 130 process. The May to Dec K1 was a long wait, and denial, but we just have to endure. It took me a while to figure what the miscomunication was with the December Interview. The Visa Officer ask about my prior job from 1966 to 1994, which my Xixi answered, "Sales". I was a surpervisor/diemaker, for a company that made "Sales" posters/materials. I had shown my Xixi examples of posters, typical of what the company made, when we out shopping, so she was well aware of what I did for a living. I believe what the Visa Officer wanted to hear was, "supervisor".

We talked yesterday. White Slip. The only thing so far, interview wise, was my Fiancee did not remember my Job Title, on my job prior to my retirement in 1994. She said, Sales, but that is what I do now. One guy did not pass because their communacation are not great. English and Chinese is a slow thing to learn. Many White Slips lately at Guangzhou.

Found out this morning,,,,No Visa. My Fiancee did not remember my job title in 1994, "supervisor/diemaker". I bet the Visa Officer does not know what a diemaker is also. 20 months of preparation gone in a couple of minutes. This means have do another trip, file 1-130, and wait another year. Good luck everyone, Bob

I see the Form I-134 needs to be notarized. The government website says, that it does not need to be notarized, but each Embassy has their own rules seems. Better to notarize and be safe.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNormal Processing Time - 63days or 6 months?

how can these two average time be so far from each other? I understand that there are exceptions, but it's average afterall, no?


6 months is USCIS's "goal" time for processing a petition. I would not equate that to an "average". 6 months is the time they time they expect you to wait before they'll consider doing extra investigation into your case to see what's taking a while. Processing times seem to vary a lot, so if they were constantly updating the "average" time they'd have people calling them all the time to check their case status. So the "average" you see on this site really has no bearing on how USCIS sees the situation.

Also keep in mind the people on VJ represent a small sampling of the petitions being submitted to USCIS.

Short answer, petition adjudication is not as organized as you would hope.

Hello my people,

simply wanted to update you guys that Irum has arrived in USA. The immigration was smooth at Washington Dallus airport. All they asked her was if she knew the wedding date and she simply replied that the plans are still not final.

I hope you guys are doing well.

I am open to all types of advice, where should i begin, what should i apply for next.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview Day In Islamabad in 4 1/2 hours!!
Oh my gosh VJ family the DAY is upon me and my Akhlaq!! My fiancé’s interview is 4 1/2 hours away and I’m soooooooo nervous wacko.gif . I’m worried out of my mind but we have done everything to make sure ALL paperwork and “proof of ongoing relationship” is present and in neat order. Still I can’t help because it’s Pakistan unsure.gif , worried that they will think some nonsense of our 12 year age difference (I’m 39 and he’s 27). I mean they can just look at us in pic and see there’s really no big deal and hopefully they will see he is the one that seems “old..ugh mature I mean” for his age. I hope they just see two people who just fell in love wub.gif . Wish I could be there beside him as they would see I don’t look or seem my age at all (thank God for Olay and my youthful exuberance!!:D .... LOL). I’ve read many forums here on age but lord it feels different when it’s your interview on the table. blink.gif unsure.gif

I’m worried also that he should do interview in English but will say something wrong in confused wording because he’s nervous today but what if he chooses his native tongue of Urdu and he gets some horrible CO to interview him or they will think it’s bad he doesn’t want to do in English?? unsure.gif Ughhhhh!! Why am I worrying like this when I swore I wouldn’t??? PLEASE SAY PRAYERS because I just want this part OVER. Yes, yes I know AP is the next evil thing to get thru but as long as I knew ‘APPROVED’ was the magic word then I could get thru AP (still praying for that not to be too long). I’m missing my love a lot especially now sitting here snowed in with like 20" of the white stuff just waiting. ClockWatch2.gif It will be a White Christmas with an approval.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportspatiently waiting...

Commiserating with all of you ... we filed in early November and are still waiting for either RFE or NOA2 (Vermont). Based on the timelines, however, seems like we are not alone.

I'm confident everything will happen in a somewhat timely manner, but my fiancee is pushing to make wedding plans, etc. I did suggest early on that we at least wait for NOA2 before nailing down plans, but admittedly I also got caught up in the romance and figured our fine government would work in our favor and have everything ready by the fall.

Meanwhile I applied for a passport renewal using expedited processing ... Nat'l Passport Center in Philly received it on Feb. 14 and sent my new passport back on Feb. 16. Absolutely stunned by the speed - I wish the K-1 process were this efficient!

Best of luck to everyone!



Hey Chris,

If you don't mind me asking when did you send off for your passport?

Thanks,

Jessica

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIn the meantime... issues while in the waiting process

Is this something that is definitely necessary with the K-1? My lawyer says that it isn't.


The safest thing to do is to submit everything (and make sure its translated!)
Yes, it can be painful but having everything makes the process run smoothly.

BTW, take lots of pics in different locations together! ;)

As for the lawyer, you may want to check on what other info they're giving you also to make sure that
you have the right lawyer. Especially if you plan to be out of the country. ( not that much usually happens for the first few months)

PEACE you all..............


Good Morning All -I got a canned response to my letter to the USCIS Ombudsman. After that I sent a letter to my Congressman. Now I feel like I have done everything I can do to bring some equity to the system. The wedding will officially be cancelled on August 14 and having learned from my own stupid mistakes, I will not plan another one until we have a visa in hand. In the meantime, we decided to use Kira's ticket that we got for him to come here for a trip for me back to Moscow next month.

As I mentioned before, I used to work for the USG. After my experience with USCIS as an outsider I look back on it in an entirely different light. Now I understand that one of the major sources of frustrations for "customers" is the lack of transparency. Decisions seem to me made within a black box with no requirement on the agency's part for a reasonable or timely explanation if processes slow down or go off track. If I ever go back to work for the USG, this experience will definitely change for the better how I interact with the public. I think most people are reasonable and if you give them a reasonable explanation, they will be patient - as I would be in this situation if the agency were to simply explain what is going on.

I've never had a touch either. I'm hoping we're not some of those random couples that has to wait months longer than others.

I'm still very happy for everybody but it's hard to see everybody getting approved and we don't even have a touch. I guess it's just me being tired...my kids are trying to adjust to crashing at grandma's house since I just sold my apt...so not much sleep here. Plus, as I said before, I'm expecting a RFE...so I NEED some movement already!!!!

Let's stay hopeful people...approval will come for all of us smile.gif


Why do you expect a RFE ruby???


Because i was too stupid to put LOADS of proof that we met within the 2 years of filing....all we put were the birth certificates of our daughters! We see each other almost every 2 weeks, so we could've put alot more...but trust that I'm ready for that RFE!!!! BTW my SO is Trini....goooooo west indies!!! LOLOLOLOL


I have a feeling I might get an RFE too because I hadn't found VJ yet when I filed but I had bought a book for Fiance and Marriage Visas - it did not say a separate/specific letter of intent was needed for each party, just signs of plans being made, etc. So at the end of question #18 "how we met" I just wrote at the end that we would be married by the circuit court in *****, Virginia soon after he arrives. I did not specifically say 90 days and only I signed it, not Josue. So unfortunately I'm expecting an RFE too crying.gif

checked his email and there was no email from cris. he left to go to work then i dont go much in uscis to check our case cause everytime i go there i turned seeing case pending. AND cant believe this morning i saw WE GOT APPROVED last feb 23'2009!!!!! "i acted like crazy im crying same time jumping and shouting for joy i even kissed and hug everybody here at home!!!! and i used to pray to have it on my mom's bday (feb 25) or this month and it was a miracle we have it this month and found it out on my mom's bday too. hehehe

thank you god, thank you hubby, thank you vj and the people here!!!

i wish everybody especially my batch mate from oct filer to get their approval very soon, so you will know and experience the happiness we have now, it will happen very soon too just keep believeing and keep praying.

Well, mail run was unsuccessful. Only thing there was Nights in Rodanthe from Netflix. I guess I'll just have to make myself some comfort food, watch that, and have a good cry...maybe afterwords I'll feel better! star_smile.gif


DavChels, now I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for your NOA2 to come through! smile.gif



LOL well it'd be good to have another 10 or 12 approved today. Shoot, make it 20! Let's clear October out and get them moving on to NVC!!!
