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

I haven't read the rest of this thread- but read your post and thought I should reply.

She has said up there that her husband will be requesting an expedite due to military reasons.

As a new military spouse, I can totally see why they'd rush it on those grounds, as he could have many reasons to need to hurry up the process. They will have a much quicker route this way (look at my timeline through a military expedite!).

Don't make assumptions on other peoples journeys- no point unless you know the facts of their personal situations.

you said it right.. we can expedite the spousal visa under military reason why we decided to just get married.. thank you for your input in this thread.. btw, congratulations on your marriage and approval !!!! :thumbs:

CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE.AND THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR REMARKABLE STORY OF APPROVAL.june filer here.YOUVE GIVEN SOME OF US SO MUCH HOPE.GOD RICHLY BLESS U

thank you so much... youll get your noa2 soon... ours is really UNEXPECTED..

I agree with MrsOyetunji. She is only trying to advise people that VSC is in fast process for those who are waiting. Too many unnecessary opinions here sometimes.

Congratulations on your marriage !!

Wishing you all the very best of luck

you too got it right !!! hehe... thank you so much...

They put their timeline down below. They already did file the 130. But they never cancelled the I-129F it appears. So it is crossed in the mail so to speak.

yep.. vermont were not able to see our mailed fiancee visa withdrawal yet..

Dear VJ members, look at her timeline, they have filed for CR-1 Spouse , she is just letting us know that VSC is moving fast, she knew that she won't be using the K1 NOA 2 anymore, she is just letting us know that VSC is going fine now. in her recent petition , they have transferred them to NBC

TRUE...

Congratulations! But now, another WAITING time begins. You should've just waited for the K1 interview. I know for a fact that K3 visa is long than K1. But there's hope...you can ask to have it expedited using your husband's military status (i.e., if he's about to deploy) My fiance did that. And our VISA was issued in just 77 days from the time we filed our I-129F.
Good luck!

with those mistakes and lack of documents in our packet, we are really not confident that approval will happen this soon.. if we are confident that we can be approved without RFE's, we surely just wait for it... but then, we dont want to risk knowing we have those mistakes and since VSC is doing really slow before hubby came here for the wedding... even responding to RFE's will take time.. and also i worry about my medical.. and the fact that we can expedite the spousal visa this time under military reason, waiting time for k1 with RFE and doing the spousal visa in expedite processing will almost have the same time of waiting.. bottomline is at least were finally married and my family here have witnessed our wedding... NO REGRETs..

Another thing..since your now husband is in the military, I'm wondering whether he went the right route. As military members, they are REQUIRED to request their command to marry a foreign national.
I hope he did, because it may put him in a bad predicament. Ask your husband if he did. If not, he needs to contact his LEGAL OFFICE.

we knew even before that its a requirement why we were not able to get married last march before he got back to us.. but then, i knew people from military who didnt ask for commander's approval and still they had no problem at all...

No offense guys, but the judgement to rush to marry while K-1 petition is pending seems like misjudgement in my opinion. You should have wait and finish your k-1 petitioning and get marry when your fiancee finally arrived in the U.S. Both of you would have to start all over again in the petitioning process, and will be expecting a lot of delay, time consuming, fiancial hassle, and a lot grilling during the interview. USCIS will take a lot of time to review your paper work this time, due to short timing of your marry while K-1 petitioning is pending.
Anyway, Good Luck to both of you and congratulation on your marriage.

every uscis agents that my hubby have talked said that there will be no conflict coz he just married me.. and even before we decided to just get married, he asked uscis and they said if we got married, it will just terminate the fiancee visa.. it will just cause conflict if he got married to another woman while he has a pending k1 petition.. uscis agents even congratulate us our marriage.. they didnt even told us to mail a withdrawal letter because they keep on telling us that there will be no conflict.. its me and my hubby's decision to still inform the consulate that we got married and wont pursue with the k1 anymore but do the spousal visa instead...

Congrats!! Shame that you have to cancel it all because you're married but good to show that even without all that info people CAN be approved.

Yep it's void. They have to cancel it and start from the start now with a CR-1 application.

There was a reason for it (think there's a thread somewhere) but yeah it voids the K1 so this NOA2 doesn't really matter anyway.

yeah.. this noa2 doesnt really matter.. i just posted this so filers from VSC would know that VSC is already approving May filers and also getting approval though we dont have letter of intents...

okay its getting clear now.yes you can track the money order.your fiance should have the small part of the money order receipt,I hope he didn't forget to cut it and send it as is,
as long as you have a receipt number you can call them any time and check about your case,when you call them you should provide them the receipt number and the names too,if they match then you are fine to go,
the NOA1 its not that important to have it,its just a receipt that prove the USCIS has received your petition,the important thing now you need to make sure that the USCIS have the correct address.
maybe the post man did a mistake and delivered the letter to anther address,

thank you... will do what you said...

thank you everyone.. i will update you once my fiance called uscis again..

You should have received NOA1 already.

Call 1-800-375-5283 and seek further assistance as to where your application is.

my fiance have been contacting them but they are not giving him definite answer.. we asked them to send another copy of the receipt but they said they wont because we already have the receipt number..

It wouldn't hurt to include the letter. It's not a guarantee that they will not ask for it again on the RFE, though.

What's the worst that can happen? That they send you an actual RFE for it and you reply to it too.... that's all.

So, sure, go ahead and add them to your expedite request.

thank you for the response..
