US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAdministrative Review - Who else, how long
Just thought I'd keep the thread alive. I will be calling NVC once it gets to be 7:30 am Eastern Time...

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAdministrative Review - Who else, how long
Well I guess we can add ourselves to the list. Suddenly I started feeling very depressed. Just because of the prospects. Although the woman I called on Friday didn't mention anything about 9/11, but said this was normal (being sent to DC)...Then later on Friday I got a reply to a letter I sent on Tuesday:

Dear Sir/Madam: Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC). The non-immigrant visa petition you mentioned in your letter has already been entered into our computer system and assigned the case number listed below. Once the approved 129F petition filed for a fiancé of a US citizen is received at the National Visa Center it is processed in approximately 2-4 weeks and forwarded to the appropriate US Embassy/Consulate General. The Embassy/Consulate General may or may not request additional information before interviewing the applicant for a K1 nonimmigrant visa. Case Number: MOS**********Beneficiary's Name: Preference Category: K1Your Priority Date: 28Feb2007Foreign State Chargeability: RUSSIAU.S. Embassy/Consulate: AMERIKANSKOYE POSOL'STVO KONSYL'SKIY OTDEL, NOVINSKIY BUL'VAR 19/23 121099 G. MOSKVA RUSSIA Regards, National Visa Center LVF

So now I am still confused...since it says 2-4 weeks...I wish it weren't Saturday, so I could call and ask for claification.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionProof of income self employed question
Just to clarify, on the line asking for the annual income we put the gross annual income (personal)? And if there are two people in that household working, do we put a combined amount? They file together but just one of them is the sponsor. Also at the moment we don't have the 2006 report just 2005 and 2004, but we have a note from the account saying it will be filed before the "deadline" in the US, since the income increased, the note is on her letterhead. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but didn't want to start another "Affadavit of Support" thread...

US Embassy and Consulate Discussioni-134 question
I also have an I-134 question, Ephiphany, if you don't mind :blush: the person who is my co-sponsor doesn't yet have the 2006 tax returns, we have copies of his 1040's from 2004 and 2005. And his accountant wrote a letter saying that he had filed for an extension. He is a self-employed writer. It was signed on her letterhead. Does anyone know if this will be enough? Our papers were just forwarded to the embassy Monday, but we probably won't have the 2006 1040 for the interview. Any advice would be very appreciated.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Co-sponsor
Hi, I am a student, as many of the other people who were writing on this topic. But I live in Poland, not the US, and give private English lessons. My fiance will be interviewing in Moscow, though we are just now preparing the I-129F. He makes more money than I do, and is saving for our trip. Does he still need a sponsor or co-sponsor? If he brought his own bank statements to the interview would they accept this? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. Milena.

I totally understand how you feel, Jim. I think you're being INCREDIBLY patient and at the same time doing whatever you can.

Keep us updated!


I agree! I am not sure if I could be so patient after what the congressman's office said! I really hope you get your NOA2 ASAP! Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 07 NOA 1ers - CSC Centre

Hey, if I thought complaining would get us anywhere, I'd for sure do it. But how do you even begin to complain with a huge govt entity like that?


You have a point...But I always wondered if everyone from this forum (those from VSC, too) wrote a letter, it might have more of a chance...I mean a few complaint letters here and there won't change it, that's for sure (just have to figure out WHERE the most effective place to send it would be)...I have definitely stopped reading any VSC threads, since it just annoys me (no offense to the ppl themselves) especially when they complain about it taking a few extra days for their NOA2, while we sit here for months...

Hi,

Our packet was sent on Feb 21 and NOA1 issued on the 28th. I saw the last touch was 3/12, but since I didn't have the case number until a few days ago, I am not sure if there were any touches before...be cool, and keep us updated! Good luck! Milena.

Hi Vera!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you'll keep posting :) We got our NOA1 one day after you guys, but still no NOA2 and no touches since March 12...Some other people who filed in February also didn't see any changes on the website...I am getting excited/nervous so I am thinking about calling, mentioning the forum...

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS on getting approved! Great news! Good luck in the rest of the process, hope you get through NVC and the consulate fast!

Yeah, there is definitely something wrong with the system. I was approved on May 22nd, and just found out today when I called CSC, but it showed just two touches on the 22nd and 23rd. A bunch of people have had similar situations lately...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch 1 NOA1

I was approved May 22!!!! I got a touch on May 23rd. I called USCIS and they said it was still pending and they were working on November filers only(idiots). This time I called and keyed in that I got a RFE(I did not)and they connected me to the CSC and told me it was approved. The lady at CSC laughed when I told her the USCIS lady said they were only working on November filers.

I dont know if there is a direct number to the CSC but if not ,key in you got a RFE and you want to know what information they need and they will direct you to CSC where you can get some real answers. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:


Hi Bill! Pozdravlayu! :thumbs: We got approved on the same day :) I did the same thing with calling, the lady was very nice, and told me right away, then explained that the NOA2 hadn't been sent out yet, but that the case was being forwarded to NVC, etc...GOOD LUCK IN THE REST OF THE PROCESS! Milena. :dance: :dance: :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsinternal uscis
I think this is their way of telling you that they are probably working on your application, it's been moved around at least. When I called the main 1-800 number they told me that. But after calling back and pressing a different key as if I got an RFE, and talking to a live person at CSC, they told me I was approved. I am not sure if you have been approved yet, but as I said, they are probably working on your application now. By the way, you should fill in your timeline, so we can see when you sent your application. Hope this helps. Milena.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE Line at USCIS
It's interesting, some people have been able to find out that they are approved, I don't get it, I called yesterday, and the lady ready me just about every script they have, and when I mentioned a few times that I had updates the last two days, she pretty much ignored my question...What is wrong with these people? I am wondering what would happen if I asked to talk to someone else? That is just crazy that they would say people are lying about being approved...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat is wrong with USCIS?
It might have something to do also with the fact that they receive more and more applications (not just k-1, k-3, but probably all types), plus a lot of people probably tried to get their applications in before they raised the fees...We were lucky and only had to wait 3 months at CSC (we filed in February), I honestly hope the processing times start going down asap!!!
