i was referring to this entry her made: BAF "what if we met online in some penpal site butttttt our accounts got deleted...like we met on the internet but do they look into that site for our names and stuff or just giving them the name of the site is enuff??"


They are not going to go onto the site and research it to see if you have ever had an account there. If they ask about the site that is one thing, if they ask if there were fees thats one thing, but they will not go to the site and try to find you by name and stuff, you could give them ANY name/screen name even if its not yours


Baf: you need pictures of you both together, ANY documents proving youve met IN PERSON!
SinergyFemaleRomania2006-02-17 10:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSupporting evidence
baf, they dont care HOW you met, wheather it be online, on the phone, through the newspaper or etc, what they care about is if you met IN PERSON, touched, kissed, did the pickle tickle, they are going to want proof of BEING TOGETHER IN PERSON, they dont care what site you met on. its irrelavent. {sp}

if you want to tell them what website you met on, thats perfectly ok, but they are not going to check up on it to make sure the site is legit and you guys were infact on it at the time and date of claiming to have met.

it depends on your processing center and embassy. Some processing centers get it done faster than others, as so is the embassy . It just all depends, there is never a set time on length of wait.

Fiona,
You have no reason to feel shame! This was not your fault! None of it! Trusting people just isnt like it used to be. People can earn trust and then push them down so fast without the other person even realising it happened. I cant imagine whats going on in your sons heart, and im sure its horrifying. I hope you can get your life back together quickly and put this horrible experience behind you. No one deserves this kind of pain!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSad Update
dreamchaser i am so sorry to hear this. It broke my heart to know something like this happened to someone. He should have been honest about how he felt, it would have saved you so much heartache. And your son, :( how sad for him to have to go through all of this with you, and to get to know this man who was going to be his daddy figure. What a letdown. :(
I wish you TRUE happiness in the future. I know it will take time to get over this, but in away its a good thing it happened now and not once everything was final and you were in the USA with nowhere to go.
My heart and prayers go out to you.

its called a public IMMIGRATION forum for a reason.

And i didn't respond to show how "smart i am" i certainly don't have to respond to a childish post for you to get that sence of pleasure. i responded bc you seem to have it out for everyone who has either finished the process and gives advice and help or for those almost finished and who don't find your additude very positive towards anyone who didnt just start the process.



Let me say I'm in the noob camp:) although I did go through this before, unfortunately. Maybe I should have listened to RJ's advice.

But all this whining, if you will, about being attacked for not having it as hard as us is misplaced. That was raised because US Wendy's original thread about writing congress was virtually shouted down claiming it was whining.

One sage vet even said ' I love the sound of newbies whining in the morning.' So please don't come off like martyrs just trying to help someone.
It's kind of been ####### for tat since then. And I could really give a flying wallenda about someone's negative response to me. I don't know anyone here well enough to give it that kind of weight.

That said, I do appreciate the availability of people who have been through this and have knowledge to share. And this website is probably saving me a couple grand in legal fees, so I have to thank the organizers for that.

So maybe we should call a truce?, even though I admit it has been good theater devil.gif

You know a good way to look at it? Yes, we all want to be with our fiance(e)s. But at the end of the day, many are in an environment which allowed the love to grow in the first place. Yes, not being able to plan sucks, and yes, the impatience of finally getting this over with sucks...but everyone here is better off right this very second than when you met, because you're at least closer to your goal than when you fell in love. And if this environment is bearable enough to nurture a relationship...then why the hell's everyone so up in arms?!?!?!?!

Think of the military couples who are separated but don't know if they'll ever see each other again. Think of how the non-military spouse feels....not knowing whether his/her spouse is under gunfire right at this very minute. Yes, waiting sucks...but as my dad (USMC) says...'no one's shootin at us'

Vent, sure...but getting in this cycle of bullsh!t is counterproductive.

YES IT SUCKS. YES SOME PEOPLE WERE PROCESSED QUICKER.

But it's no one's fault (here at VJ) for why things are the way they are. People need to find some sort of outlet for their frustrations...whether it IS some sort of campaign for change, or it's a hobby or something else to distract.

And before anyone starts on me...I've waited (and am waiting) plenty..so don't even go there.

yea go figure, im 31 and i caught them, have no clue how, the kids are fine

also, if ppl can just remember what im good at repeating over and over
VJ MEMBERS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES GOING THRU THE PROCESS. you may have filed in first week of july, but 3,000 other ppl could have filed the day before you, and someone on VJ filed 4 days before those other ppl. read up on USCIS, get to know about it abit, then maybe the understanding will be more clear. i understand the processing times, it sucks,but omg, lets stop this everyday drama, fighting, who is better and who sucks BS.

"If there are asylees in this country who were victims of political oppression in their homeland, and the US government wants to make some exception to process their cases prior to family based cases, that is admirable in my opinion.

Being separated from your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse a few weeks longer in order to save removal of persons who might possibly be sent back home to tyrannical governments should not be a reason for outrage".

I have to agree with RebeccaJo on this one.

It is not easy to have to wait through the USCIS process. I for one was not happy with the process, however, I do believe that those in NEED should have some priority.

It is not different to being TRIAGED at the ER. Heart Attacks should and do go before ear aches.

If we were being set aside for back ups do to their own accord that is different.

There is a reason why they are Asylees and if we can help then we should. If the way we help is letting them be a step ahead then it is all good.

We may have to wait a bit longer (not easy I for one know this), but at least we are safe and our loved ones are safe.


oh ok cool. currently there are a few thousand Iraqi asylees in Syria looking to get a visa to come to the usa. I figure its only a year to process them then sure, we wont mind them getting to our petitions. And i think that most of the cuban petitions put to the front are given an interview in switzerland, not cuba. I dont mind waiting for asylees, but i do mind waiting on ineffiecnt government #######. cutting the service centers down to 2 when they already had a backlog before the fee increase was the worst decision. They are a business just like any other and i can complain all i want if i so choose to. they are responsible for their decisions to their paying customers. And thats what we are, even on their own website. Customers...

And i was apart from my husband for a year and a half, and had a baby by myself and our interview took 174 days from filing, it dont matter how long a person has waited, still opinions matter, whether going thru the process or already gone thru it.

Yes, it's called a NOA1. If you don't get one, they didn't get your stuff. Even better is the accepted practice of sending the I-129f package in via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation or Certified. Then you at least know that they have it, even if they don't. Knowing if they received it is your responsibility, not theirs.

Gee. Do you ever ackowledge receipt of mail Playplus? If you don't, you should. It is your responsibility, not the sender's, to show that courtesy.

After all, we are paying tax to support them, not to mention we are paying for their service. As a tax-payer and paying customer, do we deserve a little respect and courtesy? I have to vent a little. I'm getting frustrated and upset being treated like a dog.


I'm not quite sure where you're getting this feeling from. Do you think that they honestly have it in for you? Do you think they are all sitting around playing computer games (or posting on forums from work? *cough-cough*) rather than processing your application? How is there no respect or courtesy? How are you being treated like a dog? All of my dogs were fed and watered, brushed, petted, played with, and generally adored.

Yes, you are paying for their service. If you are dissatisfied with their service, maybe you should take your business to their competitor.... oh, wait......

If you don't think you have the right to be treated with respect, it's your business. Don't tell other people they don't have that right. Sure they are the only business in town, ]but that does not make it right for them not to tell people they have received their packages. Anyway, do you work for INS? If not, how do you know what they are doing there?[/color]



IF the USCIS hasn't received your package, how do you expect them to respond to you? blink.gif

Theres always an alternative if you "believe" you are being treated disrespectfully by USCIS, but i guess you wouldnt be on this forum if you had made that other decision.
really, you think this is a thing towards YOU from USCIS, or ANYONE for that matter. as everyone has said, if they havent physically recieved your package, you wont get an NOA1. and they are backlogged, be patient, your not the only one going thru this process.

oh and common courtesy? your the one asking them for THEIR services, they dont have to give you common courtesy at all, all they have to do is their job.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat is up with CSC?
CSC has always been slow, i waited 6 months before i got an NOA2. With the current hike in k-1 apps lately bc of the fee hike, the wait looks like it may be a tad longer.

the workers are working as fast as they can. Trust me im sure theyd rather be at home with their families then working on paperwork all the time and most of the files are not even complete. so its not like they are purposly being slow.

take a deep breathe, and relax, when your time is here then you can rejoice and forget the stress of being stuck at CSC.

I would not become "obsessed" with the timelines, it can AND will drive you insane. You have some time to go, obsessing over the timelines is not a healthy way to spend that time. To keep your mind off it, start a hobby or something.

May i add that instead of 4 processing centers there are now only 2. also if i may add, the 11 petitions filed in august are among about 4,000 or more other petitions filed in august to CSC.
not trying to poop on the parade, just trying to help you understand the reason for the delay

also to the OP. resubmitting your petition? That isnt going to help you, it will just cause you to lose another large amount of money (remember the fee isnt 170.00 anymore) and confusion within the USCIS.

i know it sucks to hear it, but patience is about all you can have at this time.


Thanks for your advice and information. I don't mind being told to be patient, I have come to that conclusion for myself. I will not resubmit, I agree it will probably just cause further problems.

Just to explain things a little. Initially it felt like *my* application had been lost, I was on the July filer thread (as I did file in July) and everyone, without exception, were getting NOA1's or had petitions returned for incorrect fee submission. And of course, I wondered what the hell was happening with mine. Clearly, I'm technically an August filer because the packet was delivered late and so I searched the August timelines to get some bearing on what was happening with those. I posted the topic when I noticed the gap in the timelines and realised that I was not alone...and that others may be just as worried as me and it might help to stay in touch with each other.

Since then, I have done a lot of research and realised that this issue doesn't just apply to me and the 10 other K1 applications I saw on the VJ timelines, it also applies to people submitting all manner of petitions to CSC. Not to mention the majority of applicants who don't even use these boards.

It is normal, I think, to expect your check to be cashed within five weeks even if you hear nothing else. Especially when most people hear something within a couple of weeks of delivery. So it's not a lack of patience so much as a concern that the applications have been lost. There is also a side of me that is comforted by the volume of applications in mid august that have not been looked at yet. It means there is a reason for this...and that I'm not alone.

I've found the best way to keep the lack of patience and increasing worry at bay is to keep yourself informed. Ask questions, talk to people, listen and find people who are in the same situation as you. Then we can all help each other.

There is still a slim possibility that ALL of us may have to resubmit at some point in the future. We know our petitions were received and that later petitions are being processed. So, if that day comes, a couple of months down the line, then we can help each other deal with that scenario.

You know it does help to know you are not alone. That's why I am here.

Its refreshing to see that someone (you) understands good.gif

I mean all the best to you guys and I wish you luck but we all have to wait - I don't feel like my case should get any different treatment just because we decided not to start a family until we were together for good.

Some ppl just think they are more special smile.gif

and to the OP yes thank god there are nice ppl in the world, however, not nice enough to break rules for bc "i cant take care of the kids i gave birth to"

btw, your due for an approval anytime now, give or take if you get an RFE or not, and trust me, if you get the approval, it wont be an expidite, it will be the approval, as your NOA1 was back in november of 07.



When did He said he was SPECIAL???? why do some people need to be mean??? have some compasion!! it was just a question..

ill have compasion when ppl stop asking questions and when they dont like the advise given insist they are doing it anyway and the advise given wont be the outcome for them. yes, bc expidites are given out like candy, hence ppl wait up to 2 yrs for their SO smile.gif
but thanks for your concern smile.gif
also, honesty is not being mean, unless its something you didnt want to hear





You'll have compasion when people stop asking questions?? well I guess you'll never have compasion them..giving adivise is one thing,being mean in your responses is another, see the diference?

phonics didnt work? read what i sd " ill have compasion when ppl stop asking questions and when they dont like the advise given insist they are doing it anyway and the advise given wont be the outcome for them" in other words, why ask questions if you dont care what others are going to offer for advise anyway.
i was also not mean, i was being honest, just bc you saw it as mean doesnt mean anything, he was given really good advise and he didnt want it bc it wasnt what he wanted to hear, so i was honest with him about the situation. thats not being mean, im just not the type to sugar coat anything.

uhm having kids is not a reason for expidite. I had my son alone while waiting for my husbands K-1, but i didnt call USCIS and beg for an expidite as i knew we wouldnt get one anyway.
again, the reasons for expidite are as they were told, military deployment, SERIOUS medical reason, or like one of the posters, his wife died and he had to get himself with the kids so they could be raised.


i also agree with fwaguy, and not only will it be a normal approval and the OP will assume its an expidite and then come on here and announce that, it will give new members false hopes with expidites.
I dont see anything wrong with waiting the normal time frame just as everyone else has to. expidites are not given bc you have children and the fiance cant deal with it alone, they will look at it as your prob not theirs.

however good luck.
