K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow did you?
Signed original letterS of intent are fine in form letter format. Letter of how you met each other, if including, should be in your own words. The beneficiary will just need a copy for the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC\TSC\NSC Timelines

I need to do something because this wait for my NOA2 is killing me. So I decided to try to make the update process to the data files easier. I think I did it so here it is as of about 7PM CST on 2/15/07

K-1 Timelines

Thanks for this!
I'm wondering how we get listed for February. Is it only after the case # is assigned and posted here?

ALL Nebraska and Texas I-129Fs are transferred to California.

Follow the instructions provided here for how to track your case without your NOA1.

I have 6 #'s on the back of my check and a 7th that has a # stamped over it. None begin with NSC or CSC (that I can distinguish).
I sent it 2-2-07 and it was cashed 2-20-07.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures8 CFR Immigration Regulatory Guidance Link

Thank you! Now, is it possible to have this pinned?

I would recommend to the board adminstrators to pin 8 CFR as a reference for people. Maybe not this thread, but a workable hyperlink to 8 CFR. for what its worth.

Yes, and specifically;
Sec.214.2.k
That's a real timesaver to people like me that get lost in the run-on sentences along the way. ie:


"This legislation significantly amended the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) by revising the asylum process and providing a mechanism for the determination and review of certain appli cants who demonstrate a credible fear of persecution if returned to their own country; expanding the grounds of inadmissibility; redefining applicants for admission to include aliens who entered the United States without inspection; creating new expedited removal procedures for aliens attempting to enter the United States through fraud or misrepresentation or without proper documents; consolidating the former exclusion and deportation proceedings into one unified removal proceeding; and reorganizing and ren umbering numerous provisions of existing law. "

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStill no NOA1 or check cashed

Fingers crossed it arrives in the next couple of days, though - always good to know SOMETHING is happening. And then you can get on with the daily online status-checking. Which is a novelty for about, ooh, five minutes.

:lol:
A classic!

Mine got there 2-6 and was cashed 2-20. No NOA1 yet for me, can't see a # on the back of my check that begins with NSC, CSC.
I'll just wait I guess.


You don't see any numbers followed by 3 letters?

(thanks)
Well there's ONE number that MAY have a WAC in front of it, but it's illegible. Holding vertically:

It's unimaginable to not help someone go home that finds they don't love you. Why would you want them to stay if not for sick reasons?
This guy needs to let her know he will step up and help her home. She should know if he's hurt, but he will best get over it now, rather than later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I use an Immigratio Lawyer?
I would say it can help, especially if the beneficiary is not proficient in English.
Be 100% sure to check the work, just as if you were doing ALL of it. There are usually mistakes even from attorneys who do this all the time.
Also, depends on the fee amount. You can buy a LOT of translation and FedEx for $3,000US.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCHECK CASHED!!!
It really is a relief somehow, huh?
I couldn't read the back of my check either, so I just waited for it in the mail.
Neither NSC nor CSC has sent me an NOA1. Not email, not snail mail. If I didn't get my check back and log-on to their site I still wouldn't know.

Nothing that can be done anyway, except prepare for the next step.
dingMaleThailand2007-03-09 22:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOkay, is THIS my NOA1?
Thanks, yes this is exciting, even though just a first couple small steps.
Funny, this time apart IS making us grow closer. We talk soooo much!

I'm just curious how long it takes CSC to mail out my "instructions" and NOA1. I'll be visiting her again soon and want to take her a copy of the NOA1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOkay, is THIS my NOA1?
Here' what I get at the USCIS website that I'm registered at;

On February 15, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.


Is THIS my NOA1? And I haven't got a letter nor an email from them yet. What "instructions" are they supposed to send to me?

The site says my case was last updated 2-23-07. Is that a TOUCH?

You guys have been so great that You guys VJ members have beeen my cheat sheet trust me, thank God I didn't go for that lawyer ####### thing.

You guys are AWESOME !!!!!!!

I sent mine in a week after you and haven't got my NOA1 in the mail yet!?!?!?!
You havta be VSC and therefore get no encouragement from us jealous CSC filers. (just kidding! :innocent: )
I read that you are now out of Homeland Security's USCIS and into the Dept. of State. If I have that right, you should move along at a fast clip (compared to us CSC folks anyway).

Best of luck to you!

Who knows, they make take it. I doubt it, myself.
Good news is; it will be a couple of weeks lost and that's it. You can register on the USCIS website and check your the back of your cashed check for a case #. That will let you know if/when they gave NOA1.

In the meantime just have the new one ready to mail USPS return receipt requested.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo notice sent yet for my 2-15-07 I-129F

I never received my NOA-1 at all .. NOA-2 arrived without incident ...

When I called, the Customer Service Rep. said it wasn't a problem and if they had to regenerate another NOA-1 that it would slow the process of processing the petition because an Adjudicator would have to physically touch my packet and then it would go "to the back of the line".

No worries .. :thumbs:

Congrats on starting your process

CB

Good to learn. I wish they would state that instead of posting that they will send my NOA1 to me.

Also, I hope they do, in fact, have my correct address in THEIR file for any possible RFE.

reach449

If they have entered the wrong address for me then I probably should call 800-375-5283 in case they try to send an RFE to the wrong address. Am I right?
