K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIt has been 6 months-HELP!!!
We all feel ur pain *hugs* right now its been 6 months and 1 wk tomm and still not a word. I called USCIS last week and they put in an inquiry for my petition. I've emailed them, emailed my congresswoman... Nothing. Today I get an email from USCIS that it is STILL in initial review AÑD they have another 30 days to make their devision even though I'm past the 6 month mark. My suggestion to you and all is to call as soon as the 5 month mark hits because now mine may turn into 7 months, God forbid! They are the worst

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVERY NERVOUS
I'm in agreement with the others. It was your i-129 that was approved. If I understand correctly, that letter you received should be the one with your case number on it. You can contact Dept of State 202.663.1225. Get a human on the line and they should be able to tell you the status of the case.
Also, like Brownie my fiance never received any packets in the mail. We emailed as well as mailed over a copy of the DS-230 to the embassy after receiving the letter, and we had to email SEVERAL times in order to get packet 4 via email.

It does sound like your I-129 petition was approved not your visa. Once you received the NOA2 contact the Department of State to find our where your petition is (NVC, emnassy, etc.). When you have confirmed that the petition is at the embassy submitted a signed DS230 part I, this is your request for an interview date. Check out the Jamaica portal there is a wealth of information about the process and specfic details as it relates to Jamaica.

Best.

PS My fiance and I never received any on the packets! Packet three contained the DS 230 Part 1 (I got that from the internet). Packet 4 -- requested that it be sent via email. Depending where your fiance/husband lives you can request (via email) an appointment to pick up the packet.

PSS There is no rhyme or reason to the time frame...sorry :wacko:

Great Congratulation to StillThePrettiest and everyone in July who has gotten NOA2 so far. I too was approved yesterday, got the email early this morning! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif Yes, I was complaining about not hearing anything, not even a touch...then bang I am approved. No touches, no RFEs nothing before my approval. All I can say is that I am soooo gald that I had VJ to guide me during my application process, I followed all the recommendation on VJ to a T. I think without this site I would have had many RFEs. Thanks to the folks to created this site and manage it. Also I must add that the timelines are quite accurate too. I had tears of joy, which is not what I expected on reading my email, but then I too felt very calm. Now I have to start thinking about my next step in the process. Have a nice weekend.

I am a bit depressed today, been checking the USCIS each and every day, and nothing yet, nada...not even a touch. I need some encouragement and some good news...if averages mean anything, I should get my NOA2 notice today! Hey speaking of averages, can you also calculate the Standard Deviation, that way we can have a range too..
Thanks much.

Congratulations to all who have received their NOA-2s. I am hoping mine will be approved next week. I am in Kuwait on assignment at the moment and can't seem to access the USCIS site from the hotel, it is blocked. I wonder if anyone else out here has had a similar problem. Are Proxy servers being blocked by USCIS?

I hope I get an email with some good news soon. I am very hopeful! unsure.gif

Thanks to Debz for adding me to the the list. I have mostly been in the backbround, reading lots of posts and getting to know the dyanmics here on this thread and other Forums. I have gotten such great info on VJ and am so gald I learned about VJ before I filed From 129F. I just know that a slew of July filers will get their NOA2 in the next two weeks. It just so happens that I have to go to Kuwait on assigment for a couple of weeks, just when my petition will be reviewed. I just hope that I don't get any RFEs, as I will not be able to get to them unitl I return from the desert kingdom. I was hoping that my Honey will be here from Brazil before December, so that I can claim one additional dependent and lower my taxes...guess I will have to wait for 2008. Anyway Congratulations to those CSC July filers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsATTENTION JULY FILERS!
When I filed for my K-1 in July, I was living in an Apartment. In October I moved to a town home that I purchased and called USCIS to change my address. To date (Nov. 19th) I have had no confirmation by mail that they have updated their files with my new address. According to VJ my petition should be adjudicated some time in the end of December. So because, I will be on business travel for a few weeks after Thanksgiving, I called USCIS today verify my address change request and the woman told me that there is no way for her to verify my change of address over the phone as she does not have access to that information. Instead, she said that I should be getting a letter in the mail within 45 days of my request, confirming the change of address. Then in passing I told her perhaps I should notify the US Post office to reroute my mail to the new address, and she told me that USPS does not/will not reroute Official US Government mail, and that it is simply returned. unbelievable!

My problem is that before these 45 days, my petition should be adjudicated. Now I have to sit and worry where my NOA2 notice will be mailed to...hopefully to my new address. The best thing I can do is cross my fingers and hope the address change took place. Has anyone here had a similar experience? And if so, please give me some assurance that perhaps hope that the new address will be used when USCIS communicates with me in writing. Thank you.

Do I belong here? My fiance sent the I-129F on May 29 this year and received the NOA1 on June 1. Does this still make me a May CSC filer?


Yes, its up to you. But Jauque has a point. If you stick with the June 09 filers you will be the first to get your NOA2. I am actually going to be one of the last ones to recieve my NOA2. I would love to have more company smile.gif. You are welcome to join us. The more the marrier smile.gif. Welcome to our group. The decision is yours.



I would join the June 2009 Filers...

PhilippinesVisa pickup at 2GO branch Manila?
you mentioned a website ? can you share the link ?

We picked up Patty's visa from 2go branch at the MOA. Visa approval was August 16, 2011 and visa pick up was August 19, 2011. We called 2go
directly on August 19, 2011 as it was useless tracking it on their website. All they asked for was Patty's name and we were told it was ready for
pick up. So, we picked up the visa and got to spend the rest of the day walking around MOA...:D

PhilippinesK1 I-129F Visa Question [USA/Philipians}
Thanks Hank !


K-1 Fiancé Visa Additional Details:

Family Members

Unmarried minor children who are under 21 years of age of the K-1 visa holder will derive “K-2” non-immigrant visa status from the parent as long as they are mentioned in the petition. A separate petition though is not required if the children accompany or follow the alien fiancée within one year from the date of issuance of the K-1visa. From thereon a separate immigrant visa (I-130) petition is required.


I think you will be fine according to what I read here:

http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3204.html

"Children (unmarried and below 21 years of age) of a K-1 applicant may derive immigration benefits from the same I-129F petition and are issued “K-2” visas. Children identified in the approved I-129F petition are called “derivatives”. Derivatives may apply at the same time as the principal applicant parent or may apply later, but must be issued K-2 visas within one year from the date the K-1 visa was issued to the principal applicant parent. Derivatives who are following-to-join the principal applicant parent must apply for their K-2 visas in a timely manner to allow visa issuance within the required period.

The I-129F fiancé(e) petition is a single entry visa that is valid for six months from the date of its approval. If the petition expires, a consular officer may revalidate it for another four months (provided that both parties remain legally free to marry)."

Wow if that is the case, I hope they will provide a vaccination record for her personal record. She is going on Tuesday, and her interview is the following Monday.

The vaccination in St. Luke's is for free that is included in the fee that you will pay so don't worry about it. They can have as much vaccination that they will need.
