I just received our NOA2. We got the NOA1 on Jan 14, 8 days after mailing it. We just received the NOA2 on Feb 25. This must be a record and hope to all the rest of you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTaking a break
Saffyre, go and check out how many May, June and July filers waited 6 months and more. That's really stressful. and Rebeccajo is right. Just because we are past this point doesn't mean we don't remember. In fact, I think the process has scarred all of us. You must do whatever it takes to remain strong and patient. Someone is depending on you to be so. When Sasha and I got stressed we had to hold each other up with words of encouragement. And finally, after 220 days since filing, we will be together in less than a week! kicking.gif You've already made it through 40 days. I doubt you'll have to wait the full 6 months for approval. You're fortunate. if you would like some inspiration, I'd direct you to look at ZeeNusah's profile. Or OsLoraTam's profile. Or Charlene, or Virgillionaire..... See my point? wink.gif Everything will work out.
Jason-SashaMaleRussia2008-03-18 12:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTaking a break
Yeah, I can relate to the stresses this process can cause. And seeing approvals for people who filed after you can make you crazy at times, but.....you only filed about 5 weeks ago. wacko.gif You haven't really waited too long yet. You should try to stay optimistic and thankful that you don't have to wait 4-5 months or more like summer filers. I think you're very lucky if you receive your NOA2 within 3 months. So, stay strong. Keep your chin up. It could be soooo much worse, but its not. good.gif

And I mean no offense to anyone by saying this....but, it kinda makes me chuckle when people complain about the wait or unfair order of approvals when they've only waited a matter of weeks. I would have chewed my left arm off to have VSC moving as quickly as it is now. (ok, maybe not chewed my arm off). How would these people survive if they had to wait 4,5,6 months like so many others???

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 Approved, We are at NVC in Adminstrative Processing?
This sounds like it could cause a delay, but I don't know why CSC didn't catch it. If this is the case, it won't cause you to get denied, but maybe only delayed a bit. I think you'd be right in calling them until you get some real answers. Best of luck to you. You're half way there.

I'm leaving in 30 minutes for the airport. Will finally get to welcome my sweet Sasha to our new home. I'm so very excited.... I'll meet her in NY and we'll fly to Richmond together. We've been waiting for this day since she returned to Russia in 2006. I remember how broken hearted we that day. Our visa journey had not yet begun and the uncertainty for the future was unbearable. But after a year and a half she will return to our cozy little city. biggrin.gif This is like a dream come true that I'm sure everyone here will experience soon, if they haven't already. Thanks again, to everyone of you for making this community what it is. smile.gif ....

Usually NVC would send out to the Embassy within a week. I'm not sure what's the hold up. Did you try calling NVC and to see if they had mailed it?



Yes, they just say Im in Administrative Processing...but its JSUT been a week... but what i dont understand is WHAT IS IT?? WHY am I in this?? When someone else approved after us...has come and gone out of NVC to the same embassy with similar situation???


I tend to think the background check for you guys is just a bit more in depth. Perhaps Amr's name is just too similar to someone on a watchlist or something. I know it seems unfair, and I know you've endured so much stress, but it is most likely because of your unique situation. I think every situation is unique. Unfortunately Egypt is one of those countries that the U.S. will scrutinize a bit more. And it's really no secret why. I personally believe that the government is just doing deeper checks on Amr. I'm sure that deep down inside you kinda expected this...no? I would. I know I wouldn't like it one bit. I'm sorry you have to go through this. You've been pretty strong so far, so keep your chin up. You'll make it. Sorry for my honesty, I just think being real is better than nervously cheery. hang in there Faith. good.gif

I am back guys, hello everyone! I know it has been a long time but now i am back and very happy to read about all the good news.
Virgil, Carlene and Lora finally have great news, i am so happy for you guys i was hoping to read this news. I just go internet yesterday and i had to come and check on my VJ-Family.

As some of you know, i entered the US on march 3rd my POE was JFK and i had 1hour time to catch my connecting flight. When i got there i had to wait for about 15 min and then they took my fingerprint and the officer sent me to that office to get my work stamp for 90 days. I went in there and waited for 5 min and got
my passport with the stamp back, then i picked up my baggage and went on the next flight, everything took me about 35 min. I was so happy that finally something went smooth and Mel came to pick us up with roses, he gave my daughter white ones and i had red ones very sweet of him. We had to get married earlier than planed because his job is sending him on a trip sometime next week, so we got married on march 14th. It was just us and my little girl but it was very nice, tomorrow we are going to pick up the pictures, i cant wait to see them. After the wedding we went to the SSN office to apply for the SSN number, we also had the marriage cert with us but they didnt want to put my new name on it. They said they will make it in my maiden name and i should come back later to get it changed. My daughter couldnt get a SSN because she doesnt have a work authorization. They told us to file the Forms either I-766 or I-688B but we couldnt get those forms from no where. We tried to make an infopass to go to local office but it is saying on their website that there is no appointment in order to get forms. Now i am confused, i dont know how to get my little girl a SSN. Maybe one of you guys knows what i have to do or what i can do.

However its good to be back and i am very happy for all the approvals, medicals and interviews that are coming up.

Zee, i am so sorry to hear about your case you have the best attitude someone can have in such a situation. God will see you through, you are great!

God bless you all and greetings from Norfok-VA my new home kicking.gif kicking.gif


Congratulations Syl!! Welcome to virginia. we're practically neighbors. wink.gif



Thank you, where in VA do you stay at?




I live in historic Williamsburg. biggrin.gif

Well, only 24 hours or so before Sasha gets here. I'm immersed in a frantic cleaning frenzy. Its funny how we watch the clock and wish time would move faster when we're waiting for our loved ones, then during the final week, we stress over having not enough time to finish everything! Lol laughing.gif headbonk.gif

Happy Easter, everyone!

I'm washing everything. All the clothing is being cleaned. Even everything in the closet, in an effort to make space for Sasha's clothes. Lora, I've got you beat. I've thrown away 8 large garbage bags full of old stuff, two sofas, 2 bags of old clothes, a broken typewriter, old camping gear. I've moved a large fish tank, recaulked the bathtub, cleaned behind the fridge, cleaned the carpet, ceiling fans, cut my hair, washed my Big Willie....(oh, I should mention that's our black Labrador's name). biggrin.gif

......And I'm only half way done! blink.gif

Still need to do all the dusting, clean the stairway, clean out my Explorer, scrub the toilet (fun), clean the oven, microwave, stock the fridge, clean the bedroom....Damn! Where has all the time gone?? And I'm working my job everyday through Sunday. I may not be able to finish, but I'll do my best. laughing.gif And I'm even cleaning in between posts.

We didn't get the approval we want. But we didn't get denied either. They want more evidence (like spending $150 to send evidence is not enough).

Oh well, he wasn't coming until August anyways so its not like the separation is being prolonged. We'll just take it in stride.


Zee, at first I wanted to cry for you. But after reading your posts I can see that you're really a classy lady and my tears would do you no good. rose.gif So, please know that I'm very proud of your strength and resilience. You are a true inspiration for optimism and patience. I'm saddened by your news, but I still have faith you will be together as planned, when planned. That embassy gave you a load of bull$hit. But perhaps their ridiculous reasoning was normal for that embassy. i don't know. So, you may have to wait a while longer, but like you said it won't change your reunion date anyhow. And I will certainly keep an eye on your progress with great interest, well beyond your approval. You have many supporters here. heart.gif Stay the course, Zee! smile.gif

Thank you so much for coming to my office today to talk to me about your problems getting your voice heard and petition processed in a timely fair manner.
