K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOUR CHECK WAS CASHED!!
might just have to walk into my office...shut the door and jump up and down....

then walk back out calmly!

I've been on this forum for months now. Researched information...I knew the process through and through and of course the minute that I start having to put it all together and really think about it i forget everything and panic a bit! *laugh*

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOUR CHECK WAS CASHED!!

Does put it in thought that we do have it a lot easier then 10-15-20 years ago...or longer at that!
At least Chris doesn't have ride a boat over and wind up with scurvy and much worse....


Yeah I complain to my dad daily about how long it is taking to get my fiance back and he just tells me I am preaching to the wrong person.. and I hear the story all over again.. You think it would sink it but its still hard..



well everyone experiences things differently.
I got all excited at work this morning when I saw that our check was cashed.
I own a business with my dad and my uncles work for us..needless to say they did not share the same excitement that I had this morning...matter of fact I think I just got a nod...

So I had to post for someones excitement!! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOUR CHECK WAS CASHED!!

Thanks...feels like i have been in the process for a long time...even though I just sent my I-129f a few weeks ago!


Isn't it funny how long it seems? So on a side note.. My parents which are in their 60's now were from foriegn countries.. mother from Iraq.. and father from Scotland.. They were penpals.. and they met and had to be apart for 2 years before they could get their relationship going in Canada.. (not the US but.. anyways) .. But this was back when there was no internet .. post took sooooo long to get anywhere.. and phone calls were either not an option or really expensive.. Thinking about this makes it easier for me and realize other people had it alot harder then we do..


What a fantastic story!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWHIRLWIND APPROVALS

HI GUYS
I STARTED THE THREAD BECAUSE , I JUST HANG OUT HERE EVERYDAY. I AM JUST LIKE MOST VJ'S . I CAN'T WAIT TO GET APPROVED. I JUST MAILED MY I-129 IN JULY AND I JUST GOT THE CSC JITTERS BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE AT LEAST A 2MONTH WAIT. I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO READ THE REPLIES OF PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY WANT TO INSULT OTHERS OR THE AMERICAN PROCESS. BY THE WAY , I AM FEMALE SO I DEFINITELY AM NOT TRYING TO IMPORT A WIFE OR A HUSBAND. (JUST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE)
SO LET'S TRY TO BE NICE OR AT LEAST RESPECTFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)


I sent my I-129 in July as well and I am not feeling nervous about all these people getting approvals.
It actually makes me feel a lot better as it means that mine has to be close.
There are all sorts of situations that pop up but I can assure you we (you and I) are lucky as we didn't get held up with this imbra stuff like many other couples. Chin up.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWHIRLWIND APPROVALS
I don't know about anyone else...
but I happened to actually fall in love with an Englishman...I didn't choose it per say.
If it wasn't love in my case then I wouldn't go through with it. We have been going back and forth for over 2 years now and I'd love to change the situation. Matter of fact I am..we are getting married.

Personally it isn't about what country they are from it is about the individual.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWHIRLWIND APPROVALS

I think denials are rare because K-1 visas are used mainly by rich USCs. So they often get approved. Dont get me started on the bias for rich peeps in the US...Mel Gibson style.

Anyone rich enough to import a spouse is rich if you ask me. Ordinary folk are lucky to own anything imported, let alone a spouse!





I doubt you´ll see denials in a forum where people are seem so true about their intentions. Any phony would end up leaving after all our cries of TROLL!!! and we wouldn´t see their denials. :P


import a spouse!?
Wow.
Bet your wife is going to love being married to you! You one big ball of positivity! You have had some FANTASIC posts on this forum already. Wasn't one in reference to American women being wicked or evil...

Ohh and by the way I am not rich, I am ordinary folk, I work hard to make the money I do, I got an education so I could try and be my own success. I hate people that always think that some one else is keeping them down...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere is my 1st NOA? :(



Sent the i-129f on aug 3, 2006...they received it on aug. 5. As of aug 15, check still was not cashed and no NOA in mail. How do i find out what is going on?



my guess...and it could be wrong..but perhaps it is being transfered?

I wouldn't worry yet! :)



I sent it to the CSC so its probably not being transfered.


well pardon.
Either way I wouldn't worry yet! They have slowed down again there. That is where my forms are as well and at first they seemed to be right up to speed and now it is slow going.

Depends on which service center you have to send your paprwork to as well....

Vermont seems to be wizzing by all of us Cali people. You have no choice where you send it but it could perhaps make it faster or slower.

Good luck....No babies on the way here but I'd like to have Chris here by March too!! :) :star:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like crying. Guh.
I had a nightmare last night about the K-1 process....

seriously.

And I am not a very stressed person normally.
Once you send the paperwork out...you just feel so helpless.

I haven't been touched since July...which is fine. But everyday I look just to see if there is some sort of movement. But nope. Then you start to question if you should call...but really you already know that won't get you anywhere! Then you see these people who are waiting 7-9 months...and you feel silly for worrying because you know they are worrying....it is a never ending cycle of BLAH!

:) But...I am happy to do it. I will be happy when he is here...and I am sure there will be a whole different batch of worries.

I got a wedding dress....that made me smile!

United KingdomThis is the waiting for packet 4 thread.

Thank YOu...I am so giddy!

He is in Yorkshire. Barnsley to be exact.

Nah I am going for three weeks. He is going to fly over for good in May. I know that seems like a long time...but we planned a wedding for June...and we want to get a couple more pay checks in. Plus he wants to take 3 weeks off and hike the Pennine Way.

We have our engagement party on the 10th of Feb. My Birthday on the 19th...interview on the 7th. Porcupine Tree concert on the 16th...Feb is going to be a good month!

WHOO!!

I'd totally be changing that plane ticket!


we are considering it.
Work is more of a concern..ya know!


Dave's from co Durham...not too far! Not exactly the closest, but still a Northern Boi :)

Take very little if you can...do some shopping whilst there!!! Esp with those new crappy limits on luggage :(

And yeah, I'd be wantin to change the tick too...are you flying into London or Manc?


Northern Boys are the best! I always ALWAYS take to much and do a lot of shopping! However last time I was there..just a few months ago. I left some things. So I am going to take one case..and one nearly empty case and just bring stuff back of his! I had over the amount of luggage last time and I didn't get charged. But I think that was my one freebie!

Yesterday was such a blah day, today is so much better! Chris and I are planning a trip to Whitby. Gonna do some hiking while we are there. Kinda strange to go to the coast in the winter I know. But it is our favorite place. I think it is where I really fell in love with him. PLUS....really really really good fish and chips!


Lisa..just looked at a mp to see where Durham is...not really all that far!

I am still waiting!
:unsure:



:crying:


I know! I look at the London timelines all the time, hoping to see someone new with a P4. It will probably come pretty soon for you guys. Be sure to let us know when it does!

Your stateside half can call the State Dept to see if you've been assigned an interview date yet. From DOS website:

For inquiries about visa cases and the application process call: 202-663-1225.

I called the other day, it's pretty painless. Five minutes of menus, maybe, then a couple minutes of holding to get a live person who is helpful. Of course we don't have our interview yet, but once we've waited more I think it will be more useful to call that number. Just be sure to listen to all the menus, because at the end of one of them they say how to get an operator. It's not automatic. Oh, and there's only live people during regular business hours.


*grin* the state side half is me!! So I will call! Thanks :) Can you tell me what kind of information you need when you call that number!? Please!! You are awesome!


All they wanted from me was LND case number and UK fiance's name.

What she said about my fiance's status was that London has the electronic file but not the physical one, and once they receive the physical file they will assign him an interview date. I assume that means they haven't entered his P3 stuff yet, but who really knows? I think it will be a lot more helpful once they do assign him a date, even if they're slow about mailing the P4. Other people have reported getting their interview date by calling State. Since you guys have been waiting a lot longer than we have, I think it might be more useful for you to call!


You are awesome! Thank you! If not today then first thing on Monday! :)
