K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe "No, Nothing Yet" Thread

grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble.

seriously? tap-tap, CSC? see that file on the desk there? the one with our file number on it? could you do me a quick favor and thumb through it? see all the stuff you asked for? the signatures? evidence? forms? photos? i know you got the check.

awesome, thanks. could you please approve it now. that'd be awesome, i'd really appreciate it.


That would be nice...what a thought...hopefully they will do a lot of that these next few days...

Nothing here either, I am rooting for ALL of us!


Oh yes, hopefully this will be the week CSC tries to cut deep into these 129F's...I am skeptical at best...

God bless all of you! (L) I certainly do pray for all of us on VJ whether I know folks here personally and their specific situations or not, or whether they are believers or unbelievers. He knows each and every need, and can do above and beyond of all that we ask. (F)

You have my prayers...as well as all others here...our lives are delayed due to inadequacies in our system...anyway...just pray for us in return...and oh yeah, nothing here yet

I am really getting worried now! If people are quitting at CSC, where the hell does that leave us?????? :dead:

No, Nothing Yet

I am trying something new here. I created a web page that you can bookmark if you like, but I'll keep it in my signature. This should be better than uploading my updates with a new file and post each time. You can just use the same link again and again to obsessively check for updates.

Hope you enjoy!

NEW UPDATE


Wow...does anyone want to take bets on the number of petitions CSC does this week...I wonder what the ratio is compared to VSC? Thanks Kengumbo, I am an avid checker...

Thank you all so much for the words.

There are many issues going on in my life right now and I just want my honey here with me.

Ugh


I am so with you on that one! (F)

Good luck to us both and may we have our NOA2s soon!

You gave them what they want, so there should be no issue...maybe you should call the RFE line like the others have did recently.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this horrible feeling in my gut justified?

Aloha kakou,

We got our NOA1 on 2-17, got a touch on 5-4 - then nothing. I called CSC and they give me the October processing song and dance. I called NVC and they never heard of me. I see people who filed both around our time - and now more frequently - after us - getting approved. Some of those people are already out the door of NVC.

I wouldn't say I am panicking, but at times it seems pretty damn close. The feeling of helplessness is overpowering at times. I used to love reading these forums. Sometimes I would get tears (of happiness) in my eyes reading of people's joyful progress. Now I rarely read them because I feel we're getting left behind.

I know nobody here can do anything other than listen and commiserate with me. I can't really talk to my friends about this coz they have no clue in hell what a miserable process this is. So I guess all I can say is mahalo for listening and here's hopes that we all get thru our respective VJs with minimal bumps and bruises.

Bill

Hey man, keep your head up...the NOA2 is coming to you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally got my Senator involved!

Well, today hit day 111. Still no news although a few touches. I faxed Senator Mel Martinez(by the way he was an immigrant from cuba) a letter this morning explaining the situation. Not sure how much influence they actually have but i figure it can't hurt. I still haven't figured out how CSC processes these things. There are still several Jan. filers waiting for NOA2, at least 50% Feb filers waiting, but March approvals? Makes no sense!!!

Oh well, i guess that's the best system we have!

Good luck to everyone, maybe this week!

Regardless of what people on here will tell you, I beleive that when he calls, they are going to see your packet and hopefully process, seeing as how they should have already approved it...Good luck with this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCase sent to Manila 5/25

Were you surprised at the 2 day turn around? I was honestly expecting longer and was floored when I called a few days later and it had already been sent out!



I was shocked on the turnaround, I thought it was really going to be two weeks, i'm wondering when the interview date is coming.....

I called the NVC yesterday to get my MNL#, in which they gave me, then I asked the status regarding my case and the guy kindly told me that it was sent to the Philippine Embassy on 5/25. Wow, that was quick only two days from 5/23 to 5/25. Next step, interview date, I guess I need to really start gathering all the documents required, I'm going to make sure my baby is prepared well in advance. Keep up the Great work NVC! :thumbs:



Congrats to you! I know you must be happy that things are moving rather fast now. I wish you continued success on the rest of your journey!! :thumbs:


Yes, I am, and you should be too, my fellow CSC survivor! Make sure you call the NVC and don't wait, starting Tuesday!


Oh yes, I was very surprised...I thought that it would take atleast two weeks...but I am happy...extremely happy...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsspoiled vsc petitoners

EVERYBODIES' cases are different. No two are exactly the same. Where you end up filing is pure luck due to your geographical location.

Nothing anyone says here is going to make ANY of the service centres move any faster, unfortunately. It's something that we all just HAVE to deal with. Threads like this do nothing to help anyone having to cope with their processing times, however. I suggest that we all put our energies into supporting one another when needed, not having a sly dig because some people are lucky to be going through VSC.

Thankyou! ;)


I agree too, however this title and wording could have been a little different...see the replies that were left, then imagine the ones that were not left. You are right, however the OP needs to display a little more tact, it is no worse than me coming on here saying these spoiled VSCers this that and the other.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportstouched timeline poll

What a horror story...I commend your patience! A touch at this point is great news. Although there have been people who have been touched then no action for monthes, the majority recieve an RFE or approval within a week or two of the touch. Keep us posted. Hopefully an approval will follow soon.



When you want something done right do it yourself. Forget the lawyers.



I'd agree with the above statement. In most marriage-based immigration cases, the process is straightforward. We DID call a laywer when we were starting the process, but she knew less than we did! Visajourney.com has helped us more. But for some people where the non-USC is overstayed then a (good) laywer is indispensible. If you are looking for free or reduced cost services, talk to your church. Some churches have a non-profit immigration law firm in their Rolodex.
I hope that your process goes smoothly this time!


I concur...I have an immigration specialist in Korea right now and he is filling my fiance' full of really bad information...he almost had me waste $90 of some certified tax transcripts...when I originally could used regular transcripts with my W2's...it will be harder to get a K1 if you apply and are denied for a tourist Visa...and the list goes on...right now he is only there to fill out the forms...that is it. However, I really feel bad for you and your SO, you have patience which I really admire...Good luck to you and your SO... :dance: :thumbs: :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTouched on a Holiday?

Someone please explain this! I thought I'd check the USCIS website for the hell of it and it has a case status of 05-28-2007. Still no chage in status but who would be touching my case today? Are they even open?

Jim



That would rock!! If they actually worked on holiday my respect for them would go way thru the roof. Well, at this point, even if they didn't actually touch you today (and rather, touched you on friday and the system just updated it today) you got a touch! Yeah touches!!

Hmm...that would rock...good luck, you should have already been approved by now along with the rest of the Jan. and Feb. filers as well...but lots of props to the man working on a holiday...
