K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 09 - VSC
QUOTE (Roman&Marina @ Jun 2 2009, 08:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I just sent an email to USCIS webmasters and it went a little something like this:

Hello,

It would be extremely helpful, if USCIS would post weekly stats and updates about which visas (months of filing) they are reviewing. Because looking at processing timeframes is frustrating and it does not help people who are desperately waiting for an answer or approvals. I filed for a K-1 visa in February and as of today there is no real updates about the case. There is thousands and thousands of people that are in the same situation as me. I spoke to a lot of people that have filed for K-1 visas and they are just frustrated and angry as I am, because this visa is not just a piece of paper that people are waiting for. These are people's lives and USCIS has to understand that by delaying the process and/or not updating people in a timely fashion, makes it that much more difficult.

Thank you.

I know that I am most likely waisting my time, but for some strange/dumb reason I felt better after I sent it.


Rock on for the effort! Probably wasted effort, but I agree with the sentiment, and maybe it makes the time pass... In all likelihood the webmaster address is ignored, and even if isn't, they are likely disconnected from the process that could get the change made. Still, one can hope.

thanks. i hope they start approving soon. this is ridiculous. i saw a february get approved finally.


Just a footnote - we are at about 66.7% of the Jan applications with NOA2 - so we are only about 7 approvals away from the same percentage as Dec. So we are very close to wrapping those up and moving through Feb. Also we are now at 10% of Feb approved.

I am trying to stay positive (yeah believe it or not).

Still don't think there is any excuse for the poor service (especially the lack of transparency).

wow that means that mine was the 407th one for that day? Is that for all petitions or just K1?

And if the 3rd and 4th numbers after the EAD is the day then my day is Feb 9 and not Feb 10. Wonder why I thought it was Feb 10? Oh I just read the "case status online" and it says "On February 10, 2009 we received your petition...." What's up with that?


The day is the 3rd, 4th, and 5th...My number is EAC091045xxx, So mine is the VSC case in FY 2009, for the 104th working day of FY, and is the xxx'th case for that day (the 5 is constant, maybe the case type?). I am not sure if it is just for K1s or not - I actually figure it is probably for either the case type (I-129F).



so tell me mine says 0909 so what does that mean



i mean it is eac090935


so you are Vermont, fiscal year 2009, the 93rd day (the 5 is constant). the 93rd working day was/is Feb 10 (just like your NOA1 says).

Umm...[0909?] means 09, but the day is the 3 digit day..., so it is 09X where X is something else. If it is 09091, then it is the 91st working day. year 09, day 091.

wait wait wait what do you mean by working day? mine is 092 so 92 is the working day of the fiscal year? i dont understand lol



Wait, please forgive me. I should have used the term "Theoretical Working Day" as oppost to "Actual Working Day". Theoretical working day refers to the number of days that theoretically, someone, if they were doing what they were paid to do, would have worked. In other words, most Mondays through Fridays (not counting holidays). So the number would be the TWDs since October 1, 2008. My TWD is 104 which is Thursday Feb 26. Your TWD was 12 working days before mine - 92 which is Monday Feb 9 (there was some holiday in between... so there were only 12 TWDs between us.

In contrast, "Actual Working Day" is the number of days people at the USCIS actually work. That is about 10-15 days per fiscal year (not counting coffee breaks).

I was wondering... how does the vermont service center process the cases, by the order in which it was received or just randomly picking the cases out?


I think the process is something like the following:

  • Grab a dusty box from a dusty shelf that is full of applications from poor souls that have been waiting for months
  • Go for a coffee break
  • Open the box
  • Go for a cigarette break
  • Grab a file
  • Call a 1-900 for some phone sex
  • Open the file folder
  • Notice there are lots of papers in it
  • Close the file
  • Go for lunch
  • Open the file again, see the papers are still there
  • Close the file again and go for a Cigarette break
  • Open the file again, notice the papers still there
  • Groan about the papers, close the file again, get in the car and drive to starbucks
  • Get back from starbucks, open the file again
  • Groan, because the papers are still there,
  • Close the file, and go home and hope the papers are not there when you get in...


But in reality, they process them roughly in the order received. If you look at your receipt number it is coded by the year, day, and order received. The 3 letters indicate the processing center (EAC is Vermont, WAC is California), the next two digits are the fiscal year (begins Oct 1), the next 3 are the "working day" (so 015 is the 15th working day of the fiscal year), and the last 5 represents the case number (all begin with a 5, so 50062 means it is 62nd for that day). But don't forget these are put in boxes and different boxes grabbed by different people, so you can see in the end it is roughly in order, but not exactly.

My point of that post was about the numbers they are working. They are behind about 4700 for the goal of october. The have about 22000 to complete by october. They approve about 6 per day. Thats 180 per week or 720 per month. So by october thats about 3600 if you add the last 3 months thats an additional 540 giving a total of about 4200. The math doesnt work or they are saying they will start to approve a lot more over the coming months to accommodate the projected number.

By-the-way the 38 approvals are only VJ..who know about ALL the approvals.


We can't really judge too much with VJ numbers vs their numbers. I think their numbers mean that they had an active number of cases of as of Feb 28 was 27216 K1 cases (their target for pending cases is "5 months worth" or 22,418 and they had an additional 4,798 cases at that time). With VJ, I think we see something like 1% of cases or something like that. I am not sure where you get 6/day...

I would love to have a table like that updated every month (or week). And for the update not to be done 6 weeks late.

That is an interesting link. I've been seeing a lot of "6 months" for the whole process, so it doesn't seem anyone here is behind, but it sure feels like a lot of waiting!



Yes, we are not "behind". Of course, this table is 3 months old, and the US CIS for a LONG time blamed it on the FBI. Now though "by the end of June 2009, 98% of FBI checks will be completed within 1 month", so they can't use that as easily.

We are not behind *yet*. However, so far, 38 approvals for all of may from the VSC have been reported. Pretty pathetic.

We still have a lot of time before we can get any real help.. We are all anxious about this. Imagine how everyone else feels. I'm sure that all the people who are ready to call their Senator after 3 months is the reason the customer service is so bad. Irate people everyday asking "What is going on" I can imagine getting calls like that everyday would jade me too.... We must be patient... And trust me I know how hard it is...it sucks!



I can't disagree totally here. US CIS has a stated goal for a processing time of 5 months by the end of *this* september, and a current processing time of 6 months. When we are getting to 4+ months and it looks like my application is not being adjudicated with others, I will *prepare* to seek aid. But we should not all rush to do this as it really won't do much and might even hurt.

HOWEVER, I do think I will contact the director of the USCIS, and possibly the Senate subcommittee on immigration to suggest they request more transparency from US CIS (note, this may not mean they do anything faster, but the least we deserve as part of our fee is to have basic information). I am a realist though - I don't actually expect any action to be taken either by the subcommittee or director.

Such simple things would go a long way. They make a big deal of announcing every week that they have 45,000, then 45,200, then 45,500, now 45,700 H1B visas have been received. How about a (rough) number of ones adjudicated? or left to adjudicate? How about the same information on other visa applications on a weekly or even monthly basis? Instead we get a monthly processing time that is announced 6 weeks after the date it is calculated? Really, this is a load of #######, in my opinion. If we paid $50 for this, fine - you could argue we get what we pay for, but $455 for the level of "service" we get is ridiculous. They upped the fee 2 years ago allegedly to improve the service.

Don't get me wrong, there are some accomplishments (reducing FBI name check turn around, though much of that was due to FBI efforts), some reduction in backlog, but not many.

You can find your US Senator's web page by going to: http://www.senate.go...enators_cfm.cfm

Just enter in your state, and look for the link from your senator's name to their home page. From there, look for a link to "Constituent Services" or something like that. For Mark Warner, there is a heading (not a link) of "Constituent Services", and below the heading, one of the links is "Help with Federal Agencies" link, then you can click from there to a page with info on help with the USCIS. You may have to fish around on your senator's home page, but it is not too hard to find.

I'm going to wait to play that card for a little bit yet, but not for *too* long.

Don't pay attention to the touched thing, unless it's your SO thats doing the touching! That website isn't really good for anything. I think it is the feeble attempt to ease the phone calls to VSC. Mine was last touched 3/12, I changed my address. I won't expect another touch ever, even after I get the approval.


Well, the *theory* is that every time they pick up a file and do something with it the bar code attached to it gets scanned in, and then the "last update" would change on the web site. However, this really is not true. If it were, then we would all have touches from when someone picked up the file and typed our name in for the FBI Name Check. There are probably a number of other things too. I think at some point either as a organizational decision or a matter of practice, they probably stopped bothering with the scanners, or they simply stopped the connection between the scan and the update on the web site's database.

The thing that gets me is the whole "Customer Service Center". Basically they can't give *any* answer not already available (or obvious) - they only have the same basic information that we get. They do not have any contact with the VSC or CSC (though they can theoretically request something of the centers, if you can prove enough grounds).

Now I did find an issue with my application, and had been thinking of waiting to see if I get an RFE or not, but at this point, I don't want to give them a chance to delay things another 2-3 months for it. I f*&d up and put down the wrong year on my I-129F signature date (08 not 09). So I called the Customer Can't Help You Center, and they pretty much said, wait and see if I get an RFE, mail them something explaining and *hope* they attach it, or try to make an InfoPass appointment and *hope* they attach it. So I now have an InfoPass appointment for next week. They may throw me out, but I want them to look me in the eye and make them explain why I can't make a simple correction.

I've also bookmarked my Senator's pages and may enlist them before too much longer.

I think the US CIS "procedures" have a lot of ####### in them that is not acceptable.
There should be basic transparency and service to the petitioners who pay for the service (actually we *pay* for a *benefit of citizenship*!).
  • We should have an ability to know similar information to what is available here (and occasionally stated in way outdated US CIS press releases). After all, we do it with much less information.
  • We should have the ability to actually correct an item while we are waiting, not have to wait for an RFE.
  • We should know how many applications are waiting, and what types.
  • We should know when an action is taken on our case such as an FBI name check request is initiated, and when a response is received.
  • We should have basic insight into what approvals for what dates are process each week (10 approvals from Jan 15, 5 from Jan 16, etc).
  • We should be informed that an administrative processing, additional security checks etc are required and will delay a case.
  • We should have a fair playing field with other petitions - it is not appropriate to for a processing time of 2 months for H1B (or 15 days with a premium processing option that is NOT available to us) and 6 months (if only that were true!) for us.

*IF* they gave us basic service like I describe here, I would not NEED a customer service center. The worst thing is even with a paper based system, this should all be possible!

Sorry, had to vent...

Besides Marie Anne needs more to read...

Hey who are we talking about anyway? I forget. Oh yeah, her...but I don't remember her name either.

Mary? that doesn't sound right? dang... I just CAN'T remember!

agreed... 6 months is absurd... I mean, I understand that the Embassy gets the file...sends out a snail mail packet... then the beneficiary has to get stuff together, send back the letter saying they are ready (via snail mail) and another notice is sent with the interview date... but 6 months.. please... I am hopeful that we can cut off some of this time by calling the Embassy when we think they have the file and getting the medical and police reports done in advance... medical is good for 6 months and the police report is good for 12 months... 30 days might be pushing it... but I remain hopeful.


Yeah! Now I remember! Wasn't it Mary Lee? she was like from the south or something?

6 months is pretty awful! Of course visiting the USA from Canada and vice versa isn't a problem, so it could be worse... that does NOT make it right though.

Now ya done it.... rofl.gif

LIL one! where have you been.... I miss you too! *HUGS*

I have been looking at the numbers on the approvals and it is not as dismal as I thought. If you only look at the 'new' list you wont see as many as there actually are... for example on 5/27/09 there were 9 updates... some are past the last 20 recent approvals so you don't see them on the 'new' list... smile.gif I know, it isnt much, but its better than nothing!



Its starting to move the right way again. I'm more annoyed right now with the Montreal Consulate....its taking people longer to get a damn interview then it did to get their NOA2 !! In the consulate section on here its says 4-6 MONTHS....thats NUTS! Looks like people aren't waiting quite that long but I'm seeing people still waiting for a date after 2 months. Apparently they are short staffed....they best get moving and do some hiring.



Umm...I don't think it is as good as you think though... there were 9 people who updated their timeline, but only I think 2 or 3 were approvals that were added. The rest were people who had already added their NOA2 date, and then updated their NVC receive/sent date yesterday. So not "new" approvals. Still barely a trickle.

I am hoping things do pick up real soon though - from Tuesday's "update" on H1B applications, it seems there have only been a few hundred more arrive in the past 2 weeks or so. This means total volume to be approved is down about 20,000 from last year (<65,700 this year vs 85,000 last year).

And of course it does not help that USCIS seems to have abandoned all process for sending NOA2s - only rarely sending an email, and not even reliably sending snail mail letters in a timely manner (quite a few seem to have received a letter from the NVC *before* ever getting a notice).

I am really hoping things start to flow again...so frustrated and angry.

i didn't know this section exsited lol, i posted this info on the main board, not sure if any one has posted this so here goes


Whats up people, this is for those of us who files in Feb 2009 in the Vermont section. In the month of Janurary 2009 there were roughly 99 petitions sent to Vermont (this is not the total number, just of the people that have registered there time line on this site) and out of those 99, 69 have been sent there NOA2, that's about 70%, the number might be even greater if you include the people that have not updated there time lines. In the month of Feb there were 98 petition sent, so hopefully in the next few weeks we should start seeing those petitions approved.. Just though i pass along the good news, i have to much time on my hands right now and decided to do the research haha kicking.gif


Welcome to the most active forum topic ever! You are quite right about this - we are at about 70% now, and from past months, we see things top out around 80-90% so we are winding down the January filings, so it should be time very soon to start working through February. I can't wait! One step closer to my sweetie arriving!

Ok, I am really envious of you Maire! Getting to be with your love.

HOWEVER, hurry up and go so we can all get our NOA2 approvals to start arriving...I've heard they are done with the H1B processing and just waiting for you to go offline to start sending emails to the rest of us Feb Filers...

Have fun and you will have your approval when you get back (I don't promise, but the VSC does - as much as they promise anything).


OMG thats so mean!!!!!!trust me Ill miss u guys...being disconnected from the virtual world (which is my addiction) will not be easy at all!!!!!!!!
Iam not doing $hit at work today! I just cant concentrate!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iam leaving at 12:30 to do hairl, nails, eyebrows , blah blah lol


Hey, don't worry about not being online...I have confidence that you will not be thinking too much about the whole approval process! And I do really hope that you get back to a mail box with an approval in it! Just enjoy your time together and know we are all envious...

Hope 12:30 gets its butt here so you can get out of here ASAP!

Dave - I've done the journal thing....doesn't help me at all.

I know the soda's was a huge thing. I've cut down on everything else...eating lots of salads...veggies....fruits...cut out most of my sweets...it'll get there but I just have so much I need to lose.


but thats a great start!!!!!!!!! ull see the improvement soon! u should join a gym!!!!!just by doing nothing and sitting in the sauna or the steam room u can lose weight....!!!lol u can sit there and talk to ur friend for 30 min and u will def see the difference



With me buying this house, I don't have the funds for a gym right now. sad.gif


well i dont know how much they are there..but I only pay $16/month



Wow..that's a great price. The one in my little town is like $50/month.



The ones with pools around here are around $50-75/month... but you can go to almost any of them (or the county owned facilities) for anywhere from $8-15/day as well. However, most of them are "hurting" for the last couple years and there are deals to be made.

But to me, if you are really trying to save, you can shop around - almost all will give you a FREE week pass to evaluate their gym. This way you can get free workouts and get to decide what gyms might be the best if you ever decide to join one permanently. I would schedule it to use as many of the 7 days as you can, then take a couple days off and start a new free week. But I have a free gym where I work, though when Jenny gets here, we may join a different one (because she can't get into the company's gym) with a pool.

hey guys, quick question. I just called NVC to see if they had received our case. A really nice lady on the phone stated they hadn't. is this normal? approval date was June 30th.


I am in the same boat....I am going to try again tomorrow or Friday - did not have a chance to try today.

It is strange, but it should be there soon since I got the hardcopy on Monday.

Liz its been over at NVC since last Monday. Its only been a little over a week. Throw in the holiday weekend and its not been that long. I am not worried at all. Just a bit anxious is all.

Speaking of beer we are actually getting a keg for the UFC this weekend. Having a big BBQ and drinking and watching people beat each other up. 20-30 drunk guys in a relatively confined area. What could possibly go wrong?


Well, I was approved on June 30, received my hardcopy on Monday, and NVC does not even have it yet sad.gif

When I talked to them yesterday, they said it can take as much as 90 days! I'll call tomorrow - today is meetings *ALL* day...

I told Oksana the same thing. Most of her clothes are going to be worthless in Florida. I told her to pack only the light clothes. We'll nuy new stuff when she gets here. Siberian weather and Florida weather are so different that 90% of her wardrobe is too heavy.


You all should consider using those "space bags". When I go to bring my SO back here, I am taking a bunch of those. They are those space saving plastic bags that you suck the air out to compress the size. We'll be able to bring almost all her clothes back this way much easier.


I use the backpacker/traveler equivalent of these - compression stuff sacks. They weigh only a few ounces and you put clothes etc in them, and then pull the straps (basically one on each "corner") and it squeezes the stuff inside down to about half the size (thought the weight is the same. Space Bags weigh more, and if you put a hole in them, they are useless.

As for packing and flying here, Jenny already said she plans on one bag and a carry-on (I just love that she is so practical!). I will also likely fly with a suitcase with only a little space used - enough for a few pairs of shorts, underwear, and shirts which she can fill too. My other bag will be my diving gear which I usually smuggle on as "carry on". If we need to get more stuff here, we will send a big box or 2 via mail. And don't forget, trying to bring all the lotions, shampoos, etc makes little sense. Bring enough for a few days (travel size) and go shopping here to get that stuff (or like me, buy some for her and have it waiting for her).

If your girl decides to bring her dog, she needs to be prepared to leave the dog in animal quarantine when she enters. This will possibly for a number of months... sad.gif

Look into the details well ahead of time to arrange shots, etc that can keep this to a minimum.

I guess we'll just add the cost to this giant list. I wonder if him being in the military will change the cost at all? He probably already had a thorough exam before entering training camp.


Well, to be fair, the $131 is for the visa (actually not just K1, but others too), not the interview. The airline ticket is an airline ticket - if you want it cheaper, you can book ahead of time and wait...

On the other hand, the medical fee you are cornered into forking over...In the Philippines, the embassy site still says it is about $213, but it apparently is now around $430 I think...


Hmm...seems that it won't let me edit my own post... So I guess I am gonna have to reply to myself...From a recent topic on the Philippines regional forum, it seems it still is actually $213...there is some misinformation out there...

It is possible to be in love with two people at once. You, however, have chosen the one person to be in love with, and you have chosen to marry that person. It is unfair and not right to include another. You must let her go and not look back. My 2 cents is... let her go and don't look back. You will get over her soon, you can't do this to your fiance. Don't make it harder for yourself to keep her in your life...not even as a friend. You must cut her off totally Maire. I think you know this too! You have a lot of character Maire and I know you will succeed during this choice!


I think this is great advice, as hard it is might be- CUT HER OFF!! SHE IS POISON to your relationship....

I know...if after soo many years me and her did not work out...because of her drugs, partying, drama, friends, lack of financial stability..why would it work now?but there is something..when is her and me alone in a room...the world could end outside and I would not notice....but on the other hand..i cant legally have a life with her and kids and be totally accepted in society and my family will never be happy..So i really dont know if she is the one iam in love with and decided to marry him for my family and society since he is the first man in my life..and the only one I have ever liked in 24 years..its complicated guys...but I thank u sooo much for letting me vent..


There is a powerful attraction to the flame for the moth...But if you fly into the flame, you will just end up in a puff of smoke and pile of ashes.... I think after so many years, you know the deal with her. You really have two choice, repeat history or learn from it, which will require you to make a choice that may not be easy to either make or follow through on, but it is one you have to make.

I am more worried about you and your SO. Are you sabotaging your relationship? Realize that whatever is happening, it is NOT good for your relationship and is hurting him (even if he does not know it).

I hope you can figure out your heart and mind...

Hey Roman, what is a Frindge? Is it a cool new gizmo that I should be getting too?

Also, fwiw, Dell had a 46" Sony LCD on sale yesterday for $899. It is their base model, but not a bad deal and Sony makes a fairly reliable product (usually). Of course the 120Hz models are a bit nicer for a couple hundred more, or the LED TVs are *really* nice...but those are still pricey!

You are correct that would be a female perspective. Besides buying a TV, everything else is a drag.

Ok, so there is a part of you that thinks it could want something to happen. Wanting and choosing to act are two different things. What is it you really want? I am pretty sure you know. It seems like this girl is one of those who is a blast and amazing to be with... 5% of the time, then the horror starts. Is that what you want? Choosing this over your SO? I am guessing not. I would get her out of your house, tell her to go figure out her life, and CHOOSE to keep your own life where you want it.

wow it seems like u know her..she just called me asking me for money so that she can get her place....i want to lend her the money....but at the same time she doesnt deserve ######...she did the most horrible things to be that u can ever imagine....


Ok, so you feel sorry for her... no problem... So what would happen if you DID give her money? Anything good? I am betting NOT. Let her ask her current gf for money. You have been there and done that, you know what ####### will happen... Give her an inch and she will take a mile. Again, what do you want? If it isn't her, just block her number, don't answer when she calls, tell her you are happy and will NOT get wrapped up in her #######.

Wait Maire i am curious.. You dated a female 1 1/2 years ago correct? she asked you to go out again and you went? do you want something to happen between you and her and does your current bf know anything about the ex gf?

He knows that I were gay all my life and he has been the only man in my life..but he doesnt know about this..this just happened last night...I didnt want anything to happen with her..but I gotta admit that I was curious to see her...and yes she did tell me she wants me back...and I told her that now my life is different and that I am in love with my SO...I am even thinking that she had all this planned out..cus she knows that I cant see people struggle and would help her find a place and stuff...she even called me today to see if I can go with her to see an apartment because she is scared to go alone...and i feel like everything is starting like dating or something...dunno if u guys know what I mean....but I dont know how to get out of this and I feel already guilty as it is that I voluntarily put myself in that situation...


Well, I must admit that being "curious to see her" is pretty normal. But I would be pretty cautious here. Your ex is possibly trying to drag you into drama and situations you don't want to be in or belong in. If you don't want to go there, you may have to be pretty "harsh" and NOT let your kinder instincts guide you. After all, if you let her crash at your place, it *will* lead to more drama - both with the ex who will try to get you back (leading to drama) and with the ex's current gf (who is going to be more pissed about her crashing there).

Remember you do have some choice...how much is your curiosity and guilt worth?

has it happened to any of you during this process that you have gotten tempted to do something that might hurt the relationship..for example...going to dinner with an ex..or gotten into a frisky situation, or something like that...


Well, being male, I always have thoughts when I see a really beautiful, sexy girl...but that is one way I know Jenny is the one for me - when this happens, as hot as they are, my thoughts turn to how much I love and miss her...

As for dinner with an ex, I have an ex who is a friend and have had dinner or drinks with her a couple times. Jenny knows about her, and I tell Jenny about meeting the ex. But that is an ex from quite a long time ago and we are just friends and it is not a temptation for me...
