K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow long does it take to get Rfe hard copy?

That's beyond stupid ,what's the point of them even informing people till they send the mail out.I don't know how they can justify making people wait for everything like this

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow long does it take to get Rfe hard copy?

We got a RFE notification via the uscis website 5th June ,saying we have mailed you requesting evidence blah blah blah,(no email,no text). So we was thinking our hard copy had been mailed out that day til people on here  told me it's the norm to get two notifications before they actually send it out.5 days down the line no second notification and no sign of a hard copy .is this normal? Bearing in mind we with the California office and my fiance address is in california,so it isn't going to take long once it's mailed out.I don't understand what the hold up is with them mailing it.I think I've just about lost my last bit of patience :(


jola83FemaleEngland2013-06-10 13:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports15 days no RFE hardcopy now what?

Ok so we reached our 15 days and still no RFE hardcopy .finding it very frustrating to see people with the same rfe date as us already have their hardcopy a week or so ago and my fiance is in the same state as the office we are filling with(California) so it isn't like it's going to take long to get there.my fiance phoned them this past Monday and they gave him the routine wait 15 days and call back blah blah that they are obviously reading from a card .now that we have reached the 15 days is there anyone else we can request to talk to other than these robots that are programmed to say a certain  thing to everyone who calls.I'm finding it incredibly upsetting and frustrating that a task so simple as mailing out a letter seems so difficult to them.


jola83FemaleEngland2013-06-20 20:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsno NOA2 yet after RFE! :-(

Unless it's gone more than 60 days since they received your  rfe response.sadly there is probably nothing you can do as it states it can take that long..but yea as the person above said your timeline is just a estimate .Mine says I'm likely to get my noa 2 between July 2nd-july 7th but  I know it will be later than for sure.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE issued 6/21, still waiting on it, any idea how long the wait is?

On the uscis website they claimed to mail my Rfe 5th June but my fiance didn't receive it til June 21st.if you phone they will tell you to allow 15 days from when they stated they mailed it.so basically unless it's been longer than 15 days your wasting your time phoning(I'm telling you this from personal experience and from reading on here).try not to worry.I know it's hard as I was going out my mind .if there is still nothing after 15 days phone them

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsdoes changing of address effect the processing time?

Just wondering if my fiance informing uscis a change of his address will effect the processing time at all? We are currently waiting for a response after replying to a RFE.uscis has my fiance mums address right now as that's where he was staying once he left England.he's now at his new air force base in colarado and has a apartment so now has a home address.however someone told him if he changes his address it may delay things as they will do another background check on him because he's now at a different address and different state.is this true?? Does anyone have experience with this?


jola83FemaleEngland2013-07-03 02:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE Sucks!

I felt exactly the same as you by the time it reached day 15 I think I was almost at the point of  going insane .so thank goodness it turned up that day.but I said the same thing ,you would think it would be easier for them also to email you what they need.but for whatever reason they see this as the best way .try not to worry .ours was something simple ,letters of intent to marry within 90 days.either thry had lost our original letters or there was something else they needed in them .anyways it took them 6 days after receiving our rfe reply to give us our  noa 2.so try not to worry :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow long should we look leave it till we call nvc

Hey guys, just wondering how long after receiving our NOA 2 should we leave it till we start calling nvc to see if they have our case number? Is it best to wait til we receive our noa 2 hardcopy?


jola83FemaleEngland2013-07-14 04:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports8 weeks to send to nvc ,whats wrong with these people???

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports8 weeks to send to nvc ,whats wrong with these people???

I've heard a few people having to wait awhile but from what I've seen alot of people seem to be getting their case number within a week or just over from receiving  their noa 2,so that's why I was kind  of caught of guard when they said it could take up to 8  weeks.I won't worry unless I see people with the same noa 2 date as me get their case number and I'm still left behind.I'm hopeful I get it this week

Several years ago, there was a time that CSC didn't send their cases immediately to NVC. People speculated they waited to get a big load. Vermont sent ours in a matter of days. Then everything kinda straightened out again at CSC. Is this a pattern happening at CSC again to everybody? Or do you think yours got stuck somewhere by itself?

 


jola83FemaleEngland2013-07-22 13:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports8 weeks to send to nvc ,whats wrong with these people???

Your info makes me hopeful  we may be lucky and hear this week.fingers crossed.keep me posted and I'll do the same :)

I've posted about this quite a bit in the alst week. We were also approved July 11th and through CSC and NVC also tell us it hasn't arrived and that it takes 8 weeks.

The 8 weeks thing for next to all CSC'ers is garbage. They for some reason don't know what they are talking about.

 

However, it has ranged from 4 days to a month to get it(rough average). Also, through some digging I discovered they typically get bulk loads on Monday and Tuesday of cases at NVC.

Since ours was approved on a Thursday, and a couple people approved the day or two before have already gotten their numbers I believe we missed the cut off for mailing the next week(which would have arrived at NVC on the 15th and 16th. Which if the pattern is actually a pattern and not a fluke, ours may very well arrive tomorrow or the next day, and getting a case number is very quick once they get it, provided there are no other issues with the file.

 

I'm hopeful for next week. smile.png

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports8 weeks to send to nvc ,whats wrong with these people???

So we we got approved 11th July .as I've seen alot of people receive their case number a week after.we left it 8  days and called nvc.they asked for our receipt number and then said they hadn't received our file yet.which is fine it's only been 8 days and I understand uscis don't send them out right away as they wait til they have enough files to send in bulk.but the lady who I spoke to at nvc (who was very friendly and alot more helpful then people at uscis)told me it could take uscis up to 8 weeks to send it to nvc.I really can't understand why csc need to hold on to a approved file for that long .I was so excited  when we got our noa 2 .and now just feel a little disheartened that there could still be a long wait ahead

They say it can take up to 60 days,ours took 5 days.from looking on here around 14 days seems the most common timeframe

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

Ok so I'm finally almost at the last hurdle and have sent all my forms off to the London embassy and I've had my medical.I called DOS today who informed me they logged my medical results yesterday.my forms haven't  been logged yet but the embassy should of got them the end of last week .I've since read on the embassy website it can take them four weeks to log them.which would take us to the start of September,so my interview date would likely to be another 4 weeks from then which takes us to October.

Since sending my forms I've found out my soon to be mother in law had gone ahead and put a deposit down on my dream wedding venue and I now have a wedding date for 23rd November.I didn't want to set a date til I had my visa but it was a surprise.so now my question is It isn't really ideal for me  to be stuck here til around of the end of October now I have  a wedding date .there Is things to sort out and plan .plus we both have family with booked flights of November 14th comming in for the wedding.ideally I want to  be able to leave uk before September is out .should I write another cover letter to the embassy to tell them I now have a  wedding date?


jola83FemaleEngland2013-08-14 14:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsso impressed with the london medical process

I thought I'd share my experience with everyone who may be going through the same in the near future.so I had my medical  at the Knightsbridge surgery yesterday.I got off the tube at bond street as the map stated it was about a 5 minute walk wich was pretty spot on.I arrived half and hour early but was greeted by a very friendly lady at reception ,who asked for my passport ,police certificate and form that I had to fill out before my medical.she then handed me another form which was pretty much the same and asked me to fill it out.once I was called by a very  friendly doctor who's name I can't recall but I think she was south African.she noticed straight away that I was nervous and I told her I had a phobia of needles so was nervous about the blood test. She told me she would normally leave the blood test till last but she would get it out the way.she carried on making small talk as she took the blood test to take my mind of it.after that she asked me a few questions checked my ears,eyes,throat,blood pressure,breasts and then did a quick external genital check .she told me everything looked fine and even though she was sure there wasn't a problem if something turned up in my blood test results I would be contacted straight away.I then went into the x Ray room and met a equally friendly man .after my chest  x Ray .I went onto another room where I was greeted by another lady who was to talk to me about vaccines.I don't have enough nice things to say about her .it really was like talking with a old friend.I was missing two vaccines but she advised me instead of paying out more money that day as my fiance is in the air force I can have them done on base as soon as we are married.which I thought was nice as it shows she was thinking of me and not they extra money.it's the first time during this process I've felt like I have been treated like a person and not just another number.everyone congratulated me on my engagement and wished me luck  for the future.so if anyone is nervous like I was ,there really is no need to be:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsceac updates for no reason???

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them, for the last 3 days I've had ceac updates but dos can't seem to see what they are when I phone.

28th August ceac update- dos tell me that my update is that someone at the embassy emailed me which  is true I did receive a email

29th August ceac update- dos tell me my update is that the embassy emailed me.I tell them that was yesterday and that I received another update today.the guy went on. To say he couldn't see it so couldn't tell me.

30th August -third update in three days , call dos they tell me again that the update is that I received a email that's the last update they can see and my case is still pending awaiting ds forms to be logged

I really don't understand what the updates were 29th&30th August 

Has this happened to anyone else?  Can dos always see what exactly the update is ?

I'm so confused and worried

I'm thinking maybe it's because the people employed basically all get a stack of applications to work through,some people work quicker and some applications are less complicated and easier to approve than others.it would explain the scattered approval dates

I totally agree with you. I'm extremely happy that they are working on us (January's) but is weird how the applications get approved. Last person approved here had a date of the 31st and what about the persons with date 5th thru 20th?

Only (USCIS) know what are they doing. =S

Many congrats ,this makes me very excited as I'm only 14 days behind your date and I wasn't expecting to hear anything till August-september .this gives me hope

We were just approved last night...CSC and NOA1 of January 31st. We are so absolutely grateful and ecstatic! I have no idea how or why we were chosen. Just know that I can't wait for each and every one of you to go through this same experience SOON!

I am keeping my (already crossed) fingers crossed for all of you to have a quickly received NOA2!

Much love to you my friends!

Hey everyone!
