K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGot my interview but too far

I am hoping that it doesnt take no longer than 4 months for my fiance to get his interview. We have yet to hear from the embassy of when his interview will be.

Good luck to all of our continuing journeys... and good luck on the interviews! :star:



The average I have seen for interviews is about 4 months.Did you email the embassy to confirm that they have received the case?If not please do and they will send you an email on when he can come and pick up packet 3 .In my case i emailed them 3 times once before they got the case and twice more after they got the case and they scheduled a pick up of packet 3 for this wednesday so it took them three weeks to sch==edule her to come pick up packet 3 after i emailed them.

She is also anticipating that date.We looked at several timelines and realized that its taking on average about 4 months for an interview to be scheduled.We are just waiting for our date to be scheduled so we can get the latest letter of intent, employment letter,bank statement, I-134,bank letter and phone records, medicals and police report.We will probably send all these things about 2 months before the interview.

I know.Most consulates do not take this long.Seems wierd that after its taken 4-5 months at the service Center it is going to take another 4 months.The whole process has generally taken about a year to complete from start to finish.Expect another 3- 4 weeks to pick up the visa once its been approved.Thats red tape in action at the Accra Consulate.

There is an assumption on this board that some people are Gods on this message board.I am not drinking that Kool aid.Just because you have a bunch of fancy squares below your name doesnt mean you know what you are talking about.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
I was literally minutes away from calling USCIS to get an update, when I received an "Approved" email at 11am this morning.  My details are: PD: May 12, 2013; Transferred to NSC on Dec. 12 2013; Date received in Nebraska: Dec. 18th; Approved and shipped to NVC on Feb. 18th; It looks like they were right on with the 60 days in my case. 
 
Hang in there guys.  I'm praying for everyone still waiting for approvals.  Does anyone have the link to the NVC?
 
 






Congratulations too all of you my 60 was over on 2-12-14 still nothing

Hey guys, 
I got approved a week ago!  I just checked online today after getting the letter a day or so ago.  A bit of background:
Filed to Chicago lockbox on May 16th from abroad (Hong Kong)
Case was never transferred to another center
Approved on Feb 10
No rush or expedite, and certainly no help from any other 3rd party





Glad to hear that !!!!!!congrats!!!!!!!

Are you really sure about this? Untill now I thought m transfer date was Dec 4th 2013 because that's the date on my transfer letter...... However I my third transfer email was dated Dec 5th 2013..... So what's my actual transfer date now? Should I go with the date on the letter or the date of my third email? God! Anything and everything about USCIS sucks big time!!!


Hahaha I agree!!!!!!

Just an FYI: the 60-day period start the day the service center receives the application: date of the third text/email.
You should not count from the date on the letter or the date of the first text/email.
 
I was transferred on 02-Jan-2014, but NBSC received my applications on 06-Jan-2014. My 60-day starts on 06-Jan-2014.



Um mmmm that make sense THANKS!!!!!!!!

I suggest you contact your senator and request their rep to put a congressional inquiry for your case.
Good Luck.

Yesterday I got an email from USCIS notifying me that my address has been updated. (No, my address hasnt changed. This notification appears to be a glitch in the USCIS system that happens when theyre getting close to approval date.)
 
Today I got a text message and email, notifying me that my I-130 has been APPROVED. Hallelujah. Its wonderful and mind-numbing at the same time.
 
Ive updated my timeline and the Google spreadsheet.
 
My receipt date was 4-29-2013, and my priority date was 5-1-2013.
 
I was transferred to NSC on 12-5-2013. 
 
I was approved on day 63 after being transferred, and 282 days after I filed (approximately 9.3 months).  No expedite, no RFE (weve been married over 6 years).
 
Congrats to everyone else whos been approved - and for all of those who havent yet gotten approved, my heart goes out to you.  Hang in there!

What's worse is that many filers before me are still waiting. I read these forums and check my status almost everyday. It's getting old. Good luck May filers!
