That makes me feel slightly better. Thanks Trewlawny20853. That stinks for your friend to be waiting from October.

Thanks. I just have to remember to be patient.

I was just getting so excited seeing others getting approved that I was sure that I would be getting something soon. I jumped the gun.

Unfortunately, patience is NOT one of my many virtues. innocent.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS customer support
So I tried calling the cusomer service number and I actually got through to a person fairly easily. I posed the question of how come petitions that were received after mine were getting approved and mine hadn't yet. (I put it in a more polite way than that). I was told all she could tell me was my application is still within the posted processing dates, it is not past yet, and that's about it. She did not know what NOA1 or NOA2 was. What exactly are the requirements to be a customer service rep with the USCIS???

I then asked who could help me and she suggested I make an appointment with an Immigration Officer through "InfoPass" on the USCIS website. None of the available options address this issue. The website says call the customer service number. What a run around.

It is more sit and wait??? It will probably take at least three months for the posted processing dates to be through my date of November 19th.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscant take this anymore
I hear ya! I am right with you. It is so frustrating to see people with a NOA1 date later than mine to get approval (of course, good for them) but I am just worried that my file is lost. This waiting really brings out the paranoid in me! wacko.gif

I thought I was the very last November filer??? It's got to be coming soon. Something? Anything?

And REALLY? Petitions are processed in the order they are received? Really?

I get that nagging feeling too that my paper work has just been lost. Nothing to do but wait. I've read many times that it is very unlikely that it is lost. CSC is just that slow. I know that probably doesn't make you feel better. But we are all in this together! star_smile.gif

Further creeping. Now I am at 60.

I just have a dreadful feeling that my file has been lost - no touches. I am afraid of that all too common "human error" that can occur at CSC. But nothing to do except wait......and obsessively check the website.....and wait.....

There are alot of October people still ahead of me though. I really wish I could take a tour of the CSC facility to see what really happens.

Also, are the petitions reviewed by country where the fiance is located? There seems to be quite a few approved from Phillipines. Or are there just more people with Phillipino fiances using this message board? Does anyone have statistics on that?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescorrecting an error on I129
What is "RFE"?

The mistake was so stupid. The question was if I had filed for this or any other alien fiance before. I checked both the yes and the no box.
Ms. HellwigFemaleJamaica2008-01-17 13:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescorrecting an error on I129
I just wanted to share something I have been dealing with. In my eagerness to submit my I129 form I, admittedly, did not proof read it very well. There was an error with one of my answers. As soon as I realized this (naturally well after I had mailed the form) I called the 800 number to ask what I can do to fix this error. I was especially concerned seeing how far back the processing dates are in California Service Center and the last thing I wanted was for the whole thing to be returned and have to start over. wacko.gif

I finally got through to a very nice customer service person and they said once I got my receipt number I could send in a letter explaining the error, referencing my receipt number, and the paper work would be matched up and all would be good.

I got my receipt number and sent the letter. Shortly thereafter my letter was returned to me. A form letter was attached saying USCIS has a new tracking system "to ensure that customer inquiries are handled as effectively and as quickly as possible" whistling.gif and that I have to call the National Customer Service Center which "will track your inquiry with us to resolution"

I called the NCSC and after 44 minutes I got through to a live person. They had no idea what I was talking about but took my information. I asked if this was really what I should be doing and this person said if that is what the letter says then that is what I was suppose to do. Not the friendliest help but I felt that I had resolved this stupid issue.

Today I received an email stating "...no correction can be made at this time. All corrections will be made at the time of adjudication". OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I am so very early into all this process and this is the nature of the beast????

Does anyone have any words of wisdom to share.

Perhaps the lesson is to just sit back and wait. What else can I do? helpsmilie.gif

I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks!

I am not sure where to post this question, but here it is......I got a copy of the packet 3 that was sent to my fiance. The cover letter listed my fiance's son under "Traveling Applicants" along with my fiance. His son is 19 and we did not file anything for him. Is this something I should contact the Embassy about - to clarify? My fiance has two children and both were listed on the I-129 form. The oldest is 29 but she was not listed on the cover letter. Maybe this is a non-issue but I wanted to throw it out there.

Is the fiance of Mikey out there? Mikey is from Cousin Cove (I think). He used to run a bus out of Merrill's in Negril. The reason I ask is because he is friends with my man. Last night I was talking to my future mister and he said Mikey had good news that he got an interview.
