Thanks a lot! I know I am adding to a list that is already way too long. :-(

Our story: We've met in my country one beautiful summer day, on a train, back in 2003. We are together ever since and we have commuted back and forth to and from Germany where he was stationed. Since he moved back to the States last February, commuting was not an option anymore. Marriage was always in our minds and to some extent we can say that we have been married in our hearts for all these years. However, society requires more than a heart statement and proof. Thus, here we are, attempting to pass through the Caudine Forks, joining you for a wait that seems endless and painfull as hell!

Well, let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst, right? laughing.gif


Actually, there are people who already started getting their NOA2, so we started seeing the end of the tunnel. And since everyone who joins brings some blessing with him/her, your joining us will make the journey less painless, more blessed.

Bah... My monkey was supposed to come for a two weeks visit next month but we have to call it.
I am so mad we have to cancel this trip... I feel it's so unfair. We probably won't see each other again before I really move there...

Christmas is usually a no go because of the price of plane tickets. Thought last year, I managed to grab a cheap ticket on December 25th, it was fun to fly with Santa! smile.gif

This week end, he was at a wedding. I feel super lonely and left out here... And on the top of that, there's a huge water pipe leak in my building... sleep.gif

So yeah, fun times...


I believe you can always get a good deal on December 25th. That's when few people travel. A couple of years ago I got a cheap ticket to Europe on the 25th too.
Aja is visiting next month. I hope she will be allowed in. There's no reason she won't, but you never know.



I LOVED travelling on December 25th! Everybody at the airport was nicer than usual, everything went much faster. And there was extra chocolates in the plane!
And special deals at the duty free shops!

Oh as a nice rememberance, last time I went to the US, in July, I got upgraded to business class. Gee, when the air hostess told me I almost cried. That was so magic. Best trip ever. The big seats and the nice food make it so different!

I'm sure your fiancée will be able to get in the USA with no worry. Everybody makes it a big deal, many people ask, but I never see anyone being refused. Last time I went to yhe USA, I actually asked the POE agent if it would be possible, he told me there's no problem if you have a return ticket. He was actually surprised I asked...
I think the only troubles she could get is if the stay time is close to the maximum allowed, 90 days. then they become inquisitive.


Aja visited last March for a 3 months stay. This time, she will stay 3 weeks only.

Yeah the 5 month processing time is a ball park figure... i'll give you some more updated stats.

Between July 27 and August 23 - Vermont has approved 140 petitions.
Between June 29 and July 26 - Vermont had approved 57 petitions.

So they've gone nuts in the last month, approving ALOT more than they had been averaging, which is obviously excellent news for us.

92 K-1 petitions were sent in April by users listing on this site. Some of those April filers have NOA2's already.
88 K-1 petitions were sent in May by users listing on this site.
73 K-1 petitions were sent in June by users listing on this site.
71 K-1 petitions were sent in July by users listing on this site.

So hopefully alot of the March filers will get their NOA2's in the coming weeks and then the rest of April is worked on as well.


Wawww! Somebidy has really been doing his homework while I was sleeping.
Great figures anyway. Thanks. good.gif

I'll make my story short:
I met Aja at the end of 2004 while she was an au-pair. We met in a college class we were both taking. Aja left back to the Czech Republic a few months later (March 2005). We met again in October 2008 when I traveled to meet her family and to get engaged. Between 2005 and 2008, we used all known means of communications to keep in touch: e-mails, s-mails, MSN, Skype, phone, ...
We got engaged (actually we our marriage religious ceremony, so we are married but not legally), then we traveled to Vienna, Prague, Paris, then Marseille, where Aja got to meet my sister and her family. we stayed together 2 very short weeks.
Aja then visited me last March, she stayed with me for 3 wonderful months when we got to know each other better.
This is our short story.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 4, 2009 and December 26, 2009*.

Remember this is a VERY rough estimate, definitely not a definite date....but by December 15 or so i'll know it'll be getting close.
Us July guys getting approved before Christmas is most likely wishful thinking (but who knows!).
Tomorrow is another day closer to approval. good.gif


If it says "between December 4 and 26" then it will be the 4th. A bit of optimism. wink.gif

Our check has been cashed too. My american monkey says he can't know which day it was exactly. Hrm.

About NOA1, did you guys get an email or just the receipt by regular mail?


Ah Christmas... There's a good chance that Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays slow down our process.
I was aiming for that date too, but then I realized that it would probably be better if I spend this "last french Christmas" here with my family before leaving.

"Hey Mom, merry christmas, ho but by the way, I'm moving three days before it happens!" I don't know, it doesn't sound right to me.
Plus I spent Xmas in the US last year already.

So well I just hope that it will happen before february, before I turn one year older. tongue.gif


I just got the letter in the mail. When I saw people saying they got the number off the back of their check I thought hmm, do I have to go to the bank. But I went on to the Chase website (who I bank with) and they have a picture of the front and the back of the check. On the back it provides the EAC number so I used that to log into the Homeland Security (whatever it is) website and saw that the NOA1 was on its way. But then the letter finally came.


That's exactly what I did, though it was not easy to read the number stamped on the back of the check. I hope I'll get my NOA1 soon.

I sent my application the same day as you. I knew my check was cleared when I checked my bank account, but I still didn't hear from the USCIS. I used the number on the scanned check on my bank account to verify the statue of my application. It says it was received on the 20th. Nothing else. I'm waiting for my NOA1.

It looks like it's going to be a long wait for us than I expected. When we started collecting paperwork several months ago, I was really believing that we would have our visa in 6 months or a little less if we were lucky. Now I am not counting on it happening for several months more. I was really hoping I would have him here with me by Christmas. It has only been a month since I last saw him, but it seems like so much longer. I am going to go nuts while I wait. My fiance's internet was down yesterday, and I had worked late the night before, so I am really having separation pains this week!

Goodnight, let's hope the VSC speeds things up for us a bit!

Hola Kristin,
I find no reason to believe that the process will take more than 6 months. Do you?
Start looking for your fiance's Christmas gift from now. You won't believe how the time goes by fast, aand I'm sure by then he will be here.

USCIS has updated the processing times https://egov.uscis.g...TimesDisplay.do couple of days back and I just noticed VSC has a goal of approving I-129's in 5 months whereas it showed Dec 2008 last month. If their goal is 5 months for all the applications, i would guess all the June Filers would have their approvals by Nov and atleast half of us would get it in Sep & Oct. So I think Christmas is a real possibility for all of us. good.gif

I guess it's something in the culture then, isn't it? Cause well it's not very welcomed here that Egyptian females marry 'foreigners'.. When John was here we got stares almost everywhere we went to. It wasn't nice.. But I know who I am and where my heart is and I don't care for pre-made judgements.

Did anyone say anything to you in objection? Thuy and I were shopping in VN one day and an older lady kept saying that she needed to find a good VN husband.. asking why was she with a foreigner. the lady kept on for some time until we left her shop..... we always get the 'looks' especially since I am so much taller than her... I just smile and remember how much we love each other.. don't care what they think... I feel sorry for them as many may just be jealous of seeing someone happy..


Yes almost every day. We've been asked almost every day he was here if we were married or not even cab drivers asked.. A guy told me in Arabic to be very careful cause some people might hate and he he were me he wouldn't have a risk like that..lol Another day we were in a cab and the driver stopped to fix something he was giving us his back and we had a small kiss, he wanted to charge us a 100 Egyptian pounds instead of 15 for kissing in his cab.. It was crazy!! And the looks we got at the hotel John stayed at when I came to pick him up every morning to go out.. Although I never stayed with him there... A few people said we are cute together and a lady at a shop gave us 50% discount on something we bought cause we looked happily in love.. blush.gif So it was mix of this and that... I wish people weren't so judgemental, but well c'est la vie!


In any country in the world, if you behave against the established traditions, people will notice you and can became judgmental. We just tend to blame everything on others while perhaps the problem is within us.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune '09 Filers
QUOTE (Aya&John @ Jul 25 2009, 04:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Guys, I have a question...

In our I-129F I wrote the address I reside in, and a separate piece of paper wrote the mailing address we like USCIS and the US embassy in Cairo to mail me at (which is a mail box at the post office), then we both dated the paper and signed it... How can we make sure this is the address they are going to use to mail me? Is there anyway I can receive the visa packets there? John has sent me a few packages before and things go as such: I get a call from the PO saying I have a mail, I go there and check it, then go to a different building and pay fees that I received a package and get my packages. And when he used Express Mail to send packages I used to repeat the same steps only after checking the mail that I received a package I take a trip to the main PO in Cairo (it's a long and hard one) to go check it... And as you all know packages get checked and opened so that they make sure the content is safe...

So how can we make sure we are going to receive the visa mail and packets to my mailing address? Is there any harm if they got opened by the main PO? Do I have to sign a paper that I received a visa packet? This seems kinda confusing and we're a little worried right now... unsure.gif


To my knowledge, Government Agencies do not send mail to a P.O. Box address. Check with them to make sure.
