K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F June Filers

actually, me and fiance are having arguments for the past weeks but we made sure that we can settle those things after a few days.

just a question, do you guys communicate with your loved ones everyday?

thanks.


My fiancee and I communicate by phone 3 times per week. We talk online usually the same days we also talk. I am also working 3rd shift and she is working 1st and our off days mismatch. So we have a hard time sometimes to speak. If it was our choice we'd talk everyday by phone.

We can only hope for mid September! Then we might still have a chance to be together in USA by Christmas!


Right now the government is processing people in mid april or so. The latest issues of NOA2 are in this time frame.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F June Filers

Hello June filers,

First off I wish the best for everyone's process.

I am a little concerned that reading everyone elses timelines that it seems that your forms have been "touched" in the last month. As for mine, I got the NOA1 on 06/15/07, via checking it at the USCIS website. Apparently, it hasn't been touched since 06/20/07. That's about a month and a half since any activity. Should I be concerned of how slow my process is going?

It's is currently at the CSC.

I'm sorry for the question, and please excuse me this is my first post.


No, I would say don't worry. I've read from many other people that some people get "touches" and some people never get any at all and the notice magically appears in the mail one day. We all still have a ways to go. From what I understand the website of USCIS isn't exactly accurate. Some people I read their status is still "Pending" even after they have already been scheduled for the interview.

I'm shooting for our NOA2 approval between now and end of September. If I had to choose a guess date I would say August 31-Sept 7. I know my timeline says Sept 28th but I mailed my app on May 17th. So maybe they go by that date for processing???

Soo...any guesses on approval? We really should start a pool. Might be kinda fun. I'm predicting alot of us will be seeing NOA2s by the end of September. Maybe a few this month.

It's good to be back home and on VJ biggrin.gif I was away for the weekend and when I walked into my house a couple hours ago I thought I was going to see some approvals from VSC, including mine and still nothing!
I'm at 5 months today biggrin.gif
Come on VSC!!!! biggrin.gif


What's up with VSC????? Everything I see is CSC for like the last month. Does anyone know what is going on with VSC? I hope all VSC filers get approved soon. They need to get the ball rolling!

Just so people don't wonder....all of our touches were because of a typo error and my calls asking about this. If we wouldn't have had this issue we would have had no touches at all except being approved out of the blue. Everytime I called and asked about the typo was a touch and a touch the day after or as a result of a letter received (which we got a letter from USCIS about on a touch date also). Our NOA2 came out of the blue with no immediate touches.

So those of you with no touches don't worry. They don't indicate an approval is near. An approval can come with no touches at all until approved.

Hi Charlie and Kary!

Congratulations! Felicidades!!

So, I just have a little question: How you received your approval?
By e-mail, letter, USCIS website?

Just curious!

Abraços!

Received by email by CRIS. We didn't have a problem not receiving our NOA1 or with the website not updating. I know some people had problems with this but it was a smooth sail for us minus the wait.

There were by my count 9 new approvals on 9-24-07. All of them were CSC filers. All but one of them were between 140-150 days since sending the I-129f. The one outsider was 134 days. So if you mailed it to CSC 140 days ago I would say it's safe to say to expect it to be looked at in the next 2 weeks.


May be it's a topic that has already been covered, but shouldn't we go by the receipt date on the NOA1 rather than the date the application arrived at USCIS? Maybe it doesn't matter and maybe I am trying to find a logic in their process that probably doesn't even exist...

Stephan


I noticed from the timelines where I got this information. The NOA1 dates fluctated alot. The total days remained alot more reasonable in closeness to each other.

FINALLY ONE APPROVAL!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Hey Mirla nothing yet??!!! VSC is really on Pause. Have you called recently?


Nothing at all.....I think there's no life over there. I don't understand what's going on, Pat keeps asking me what's going on with this, everybody ask when are you coming back and he just doesn't understand why is taking so long...neither do I. I will call on monday though...



The sad thing is that no one on here, even the old timers, can give any explaination other that USCIS is "swamped". It also appears we are in uncharted waters regarding timelines. We all knew we were going to have to wait for our visas but we had a historical timeline that gave us hope we would get it within a certain number of days. That has all changed in the last several months. It appears that there is nothing to rely on regarding the average number of days until an approval. Even what was an average last month has already changed this month and will change again next month.

It seems that even though we have the same waiting game, we have different waiting times and, no one knows what those times seem to be. blink.gif


It appears all new approvals are in the 130-145 day from filing range.

I called CSC today. I had an excuse because we had a typo on our application and we found it really early. We mailed a correction letter 1 week after mailing the application and we just got it added to our file on August 22nd (I kept the letter and didn't call to use it as an excuse for RFE) innocent.gif . Well..I called 2 times today and faked stupid both times. I did the RFE trick and got through to the CSC directly. I could tell that they are really just reading right off the screen or paper a response.

I called a few times in June and got every time someone really helpful and who gave alot of information. This time natta zero zilch. I'll call again in a few weeks.

It's discouraging. She said to expect to wait 3 more months (our NOA1 is June 7) but I could tell she was just reciting from memory. I think we will be much quicker than that.

So for now folks we all just gotta hunker down I guess. They are tight lipped it appears at least to me.

Prayerfully, CHRIS will notify us b/4 the weekend is over of our NOA-2 approval. MAY filers don't get discourage. Eventually, every one of us will receive our own good news. It is just a matter of time provided all the USCIS requirements are met. Hang in there…… even though the journey has been a bit frustrating not knowing when your file will be adjudicated. Cheers!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSocial Security Number Typo
Hey all,

My first post.

A few items of concern :help:

1) I hired a lawyer to prepare our K1 application. One problem, there is a typo on the application (I-129f) of my social security number :angry: . Instead of being for example 111-11-1111 it is 111-11-1121. She said that once the application case number is received she will call the customer service number and change this. Is this going to affect our application significantly? She assured me it won't be a problem. They have an enclosed copy of my tax refund which clearly states my social with the application too.

2) Also, Her mother was born in Brasil but her country of birth is listed as Argentina on her biographical form. This category has the comments of parent's place of birth (if known) which implies to me it's not of huge concern. My fiancee's birth certificate translated is enclosed anyway. Will this make a problem?

3) One more question than I'm out of everyone's hair. We sent the application on May 18th and it's now June 3. No checks have been cashed and no notice of anything in the mail. When are most people getting their responses back (I live in WI and I think we mailed it to Nebraska service center). Anyone know what the wait is?

Any advice? Sorry for asking such trivial questions. As everyone here can attest it is definately nerve wrecking to wonder if some mistake could cost you the happiness of living with your soul mate.

Thanks,
Charles

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Signatures Required on the G-325A and Letter of Intent?
Hello All,

I'm confused. I keep reading an original signature is required on the biographical form. In this post I mentioned that our lawyer filled out and signed it for my fiancee. My fiancee's signature is not on the form.

Also the letter of intent was a faxed copy including my fiancee's signature. I emailed the document, she printed it signed it, and faxed it to me.

My lawyer also I think only mailed one copy of each biographical form I think.

I'm about ready to send new original forms to my fiancee for her to sign and mail back. I don't know whether I should rush it by express mail, get it back, and send it in with my application to avoid an RFE or should I just do normal mail and keep it on hand for an RFE. Should I attempt a pre-emtpive strike or just wait and see if there's an RFE. I don't want to delay our case :(.

How much longer would an RFE delay us? Also, I know this is silly but does anyone have the proper and updated address to send additions to your case file? I have seen different addresses. We originally filed with the Nebraska Service Center and it was transferred to the CSC. So I assume we mail to the CSC directly now (NOA1 said it is at CSC). But I have read also that I should send it to NSC and it will be forwarded. So confusing. :wacko:

Thanx,

Charlie

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Signatures Required on the G-325A and Letter of Intent?
Hello all,

A lawyer prepared our K1 visa application. The lawyer printed the G-315A and filled it out for my fiancee' (The form was confusing for her). In the signature of applicant box the lawyer signed her name and wrote "For (Fiancee's name)".

Also, for the letter of intent. I typed out a version and my fiancee' scanned, signed, scanned, and emailed back. Is that going to be a problem that it is a scanned copy of the signed document?

I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and have my fiancee sign everything and mail it to me for snail mail in case for an RFE. Does anyone think this will cause a problem. If there is an RFE how long does it delay your application?
