i called my congressman today and the advisor said that you are still within the 6 month time frame...that sucks...



Sucks for everyone espically now everyone around our NOA1 time has got something and yet we have nothing! Why pick on certain people. Our case certainly wasn't unusual in anyway, no pre-marriage's, pretty much together throughout the entire duration of our relationship, She has lived in a quite a few places over the last 10 years but I don't see that being an issue. The longer this is going on for the more nervous were getting about never getting the visa. sad.gif

Congrats to everyone who has theres btw good.gif

Congratulations to you. Could you let me know how it feels? I'm at the stage where I'm just fed up with the whole process, it sucks and things aren't done properly. Its not fair that couple's cases are taking longer then others. Theres no logic to it. I contacted my congressman and he hasn't got back to me and that was 2 weeks ago on wednesday. Is it wierd not to get back to a congressman quicker then that?

another week down...i think ill be on my way to the 6 month club


Hang in there guys, try calling NVC and just lie to them about receiving your noa2 and just ask them if they have received your petition yet. Thats what I did and I found out that we were approved and they had our packet, which on wednesday is on its way to london. Honestly calling NVC is worth looking into and don't get discouraged if things are getting tougher, I honestly I was destined for the same fate but all of a sudden things can drastically change. Things can happen that quick and I hope things start to move along quicker for you guys, as no-one deserves to go through this sort of hell.

Anyone notice that the Vermont site is saying they are back-logged and they are showing a date of Novenember 2008 for K1 visa?

I guess I owe Jan, the uscis phone awnserer, an apology......but then again maybe not. So its going to be 2 months before they get to us then. FANTASTIC mad.gif

I got my NOA2 today in the mail. A day after I found out through NVC (not USCIS) that I was approved.

omg great news congrats...hope the rest of us jan filers get approved....very exited for u



Well for some reason, Jan the USCIS officer, just told me that they are working on cases from november 08! and it will take 2 months to get to ours. I don't know whether to laugh and take it as BS or cry because its the truth!

That's #######! I called USCIS yesterday morning and a guy told me they were working on NOV's as well. I told him that no they are now kicking out February's petitions. He said he is just giving info that USCIS provides them. Then I called NVC yesterday afternoon and that is when I found out they had my case and USCIS approved it on 6-5-09. I think USCIS is wasting money by even having these people answer the phones. I think your better off calling NVC every couple of days or so and speaking to someone and ask if they have received your case yet. They are much nicer and you just give them your USCIS number. Dont bother using the electronic system with NVC either. I dont think it registers K1 petitions. I think me calling my senators office helped push mine through. When I called him today to let him know I got my approval he even said that he noticed here lately that when they contact USCIS (poking around at USCIS as he put it) regarding people's cases they magically get their approvals. At first I didnt think he did anything but now I know he had.. I also told him today that my file was at NVC but they put me in "additional processing". He said he has a contact there and will email them to see if he can help get us passed this too.


Well beleive me when I say I'm delighted for you to get yours and I hope you a smooth process for the rest of the way. I've tried going down the congressman route and they haven't even got back to me after 3 1/2 weeks after several emails and calls. Sometimes I feel like its never going to happen for us and they've lost our case or just completely ignoring it. I called NVC before calling USCIS and they said said if I haven't recieved my approval then they wouldn't have our case. Times are going to get a lot tougher before they get better for us I think.

Went and scheduled an infopass last friday. I knew they couldn't do much but I did get some information. The dude at the front counter told me that my petition has been with an immigration officer (ajudicator) since April 18th.

what is snail mail i keep hearing it??


US Postal Service mail, as opposed to eMail (electronic mail). Called snail mail cause it takes much longer than email.

Jim, NCS = National Customer Service

kcrand, from what I've read from the very few NOA2 recipients lately, they've been getting it by snail mail. No online updates by USCIS, the slackers.

How did you get a hold of someone at VSC? I' have been trying to get contact info for VSC.

April 18th? My goodness... What is wrong with these people? They dont care one bit about what they are doing to us mentally. I had a small uncontrollable crying break down at work this morning thinking about all this ####### and how so many February filers are getting approvals now. I went online to see about scheduling a infopass appointment and the closest office to me is Memphis, TN, which is 6 hours away. I see no end to this madness...



The awnser is no they don't give a rats ####### whose lives they destorying by all this #######. Everyday I wake up and wonder why and what weve done to deserve to messed around and have our emotions toyed with. Rant over. God help them at USCIS if we make it 6 months without a word. devil.gif

It will come, really!!!

It is awkward, but I am almost feeling guilty coming in here and sharing how fast things can go once you have that second NOA.
A week ago my fiancé got the NOA in his mailbox and today I already received package 3 from the consulate.

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you guys.


You should feel guilty devil.gif I'm only joking, I'm happy that some couples out there are getting what they deserve and want, maybe we will be one of those lucky ones one day. Congrats on getting and best of luck with the interview and getting you stuff sorted out.

I've noticed that a few are being processed that are long overdue for there noa2. Do you think they are going over things again and focussing on cases they have missed? If so that would be a good sign for us ,13th Jan, but maybe not for Feb filers. Does anyone have any info if my guess is true or this just a coincedance?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVermount Service Centre at the Moment
I'm starting to get irate with it all to be honest and will be calling florida's congressman next week if I don't hear anything by Wednesday. I don't really think its right that people are made to go through this unneccassary waiting simple because they happen to be giving to an employee who is behind on his/her work. But there isn't anything we can really do apart from calling up our representative and hope they can make something happen. I don't know why people keep getting pushed back behind people who havn't waited as long but truth betold it highlights how unorganised the whole process is.

Rant over. devil.gif

Sorry about that but its not making my fiancee's life or mine any easier with all the stress it brings with it.

Anyway does anyone have any updates (or any ideas) about whats going on at VSC?

Does anyone actually know whats going on there at the moment? they seem to of really slowed down on K-1 visa's lately which is a pain in the for people who are already behind the estimated processing dates. I mean there hasn't been a group of visa's processed for quite a while and I'm wondering when things will start up again.

Any theories?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy are Vermount taking forever and missing some people out completely?
My Finacee and I received our NOA 1 on the 13th January and I've noticed that we and few other people have been skipped. Should I start to worry and starting enquiring why this is happening or should I just try and stay patient as possible. I'm starting to think that it will never come. My finacee has moved around quite a lot so do you guys think that the background checks may take longer because of that? We haven't even heard of any updates from them full stop since the NOA 1. Were an honest couple who just want to be together as soon as possible and this is making things even harder then things are normally with the distance involved. It doesn't seem logial to why others several weeks after we submitted ours are hearing something and we haven't got a single thing yet.

Please say there are others in a similar boat to ours
