K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 received
congrats :)

can i just ask, when did they cash your check or money order, if you know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas Service Center ??
keep an eye on your check or money order, if thats cashed, you should get the noa1 a few days later. although some folk have had their noa1 without the check being cashed.

the noa1 can take upto a month, sometimes longer...

but most gets theirs in a couple of weeks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
thanks everyone.

sadly im in the UK and my fiance is in the US.

We are going to call USCIS this week and if not in the system still and no check cashed, we will resend. Its been 7 weeks on tuesday and no check cashed or anything. I dont mind the wait if i knew we were in the system, but it looks like these last 2 months have been a total waste and we havent even started.

oh well, if we can get through this, there isnt much we couldnt get through.

thanks for all your support though :)

thanks everyone.

we lost the baby the day after i got back to the uk, not sure right now what we are going to do about resubmitting or waiting

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
hi,
well i kept all the forms and such and ive been preparing the other evidence again today. I leave back to the UK tomorrow, so im going to leave a fully prepared re submission :(

USCIS said leave it 8 weeks before resubmitting, although another lady said wait till the end of the month.

i think we will give it one more week, if no check is cashed, resubmit the file.

thanks for your message, im a bit of an emotional mess right now with the docs saying my partner is at a high risk of miscarriage still and me having to leave tomorrow.
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-21 18:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
well we called again today, still not in the system, still no check cashed. 5 1/2 weeks...
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-21 17:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
yeah its 5 weeks tomorrow and no check cashed.

we will give it another 2 and then resubmit as the baby is now in its 7th week and i dearly want to be back for the birth :(

maybe i should just give up on that idea the way things are going.

edit:

MacUK, how long was it before they cashed your check, was it right before you got the noa1?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!

I sent my paperwork in to Texas Service Center on Sept 1st. Money order was cashed on the 14th, But no NOA1 yet.



yeah i would think yours would be along in a few days from what i have read of others :)

our check still hasnt been cashed and its now 31 days, although that included this saturday and labor day...

so if no noa by next week for us or check cashed, i will know it has been stolen my the i-129f pixies.

hope yours comes soon :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
hi, yep i know exactly how you feel :(

the person on the phone at USCIS said it can sometimes just take more time, but if its not received within 7-8 weeks, resubmit.

im trying not to let it get to me and we are preparing the package tomorrow just in case we still havent heard in a few weeks so we can resend.

hope yours arrives soon :) i know a few peopel who had to wait 29 days etc. so all hope is not yet lost!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!

I am so sorry to hear this. I saw something happened on this board before where a file was mishandled, but i think its very rare. Let's hope the NOA1 is just around the corner and you will not need to resubmit.



Wishing you a speedy journey and quick reunion. (F)




thanks for your kind words, its appreciated :)

im still holding out some hope but with us not in the system, no check cleared, its hardly looking good.

im hoping they will allow us to resubmit directly to CSC if it comes to that as i know another couple on here did that when their package was returned due to IMBRA. If i havent heard anything in 10 days, we shall call back, check a direct CSC mailing is ok and then resend it shortly after.
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-14 21:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
well we called them today as we had a doctors appointment so my partner was back home in time.

they have no record of us in the system and they suggest waiting 3 weeks and then resubmitting.

i am pretty much in shock. the baby is 7 weeks gone and has a due date at the end of april and at this rate i wont be back for that...
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-14 18:02:00

thanks, still nothing today.

this is really starting to get to me :(
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-14 12:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
well we sent it via usps and got notice it was received in texas on the 17th at the service center.

paid by cheque and so far its not been cashed....

one couple sent theirs in the day before us and got theirs monday, so i was really hoping ours would follow soon :(

im patient, but my partner is already down as i wont be here for most of her pregnancy :( i wish i could comfort her by just saying we are on our way etc..

oh well :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas NOA1 over 4 weeks!
hi,
Im glad to see my fellow VJr's getting their NOA1's, but i still havent heard and its now over 4 weeks. Im just getting a little worried that we somehow messed it up as all others around my time have all got theirs.

anyone else still waiting from Texas?

i know i have a looong wait ahead, but with the baby on its way, i would love the security of knowing all is in the system :(

m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-09-13 23:11:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdoes it matter what kind of money order you get?

i used western union...and it cleared fine



thanks very much :)
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-10-24 10:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdoes it matter what kind of money order you get?
hey,
Just the final question before we resubmit. we are not sending a cheque this time, we are going to send a money order to make sure funds are cleared. Just a question, does it matter where i get them from? I was going to use western union as you can check the status of the money order over the phone. probably a stupid question, but i wanted to make sure you didnt have to use a usps money order or anyting specific?

thanks
dan
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-10-23 23:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespackage resent...
well today we resubmitted our package after the first disappeared after arriving at the texas service centre. We waited the 8 weeks in hope it would turn up, but nothing, never in the system.

so my partner has just got back from posting the new application.

fingers crossed it goes smoothly now so we can just forget it and i can look forward to her coming to the UK in jan.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this an RFE?
yeah i wouldn't be too worried, a lot of folk dont have to wait very long after returning their RFE before they are approved, maybe a few weeks delay :)

hope that works out to be the case for you guys as well, often its just something small like needing an extra document or something wasnt signed etc.

good luck anyway! be glad it means someone is working on your case :P

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about checking to see if my money order has been cashed

Here's the link:

https://egov.immigra...earchDisplay.do

(You can sign up for email updates while you're there, as well...)

I had it to hand as I was just pointlessly checking our case status, even though the NOA1 only arrived about a week ago. :blush:



haha, yeah that's a bit of wishful thinking :P

but hopefully 2007 will start very nicely for you :)
m_olaskMaleUnited Kingdom2006-11-13 12:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about checking to see if my money order has been cashed
your fine :D

the WAC number was taken off your noa1, so that means your in the system and all is good.

why dont you see if the lawyer has the paper noa1? i dont even know how much you need the paper copy, but im sure they could resend if it has been lost in the post.

glad to hear all is ok and hopefully wont be too long before you get some good news :)

edit: and with that number you can sign upto the online service to keep tabs on your case, sadly i dont have the link to hand, but its on here somewhere!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about checking to see if my money order has been cashed

Ok, I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but it is worrying me a little now. I keep seeing people talking about checking to see if the money order or check has been cashed. If I sent my petition in on Aug 15th and received a notice that they have got it on Aug 17th, and I have not heard anything or have not been touched or nothing since, should I see if the money order I sent was cashed? Or should I assume that everything has been cashed and is going the way it should be (just doing the waiting thing like everyone else. Someone please let me know if I should check to see if it was cashed. If by chance they have not cashed it what does that mean? Thanks in advance, WJR.


im a little concerned, a 2 day turn around for a noa is very fast, this wasnt the postal service notice was it?

did you get a letter like this?

http://www.visajourn...y...bum=4&pos=1

if so, nothing to worry about and all is ok :)

if not, let us know.

Im here on my own so am jumping about with glee and cant tell anyone who would even know what i meant. my babe is at home asleep in the US and im half tempted to call and tell her, but ill let her get some more rest as she has a busy weekend :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNewbie question
hey :)

lm also going through texas (california). its a little hard to say exactly how long things are going to take as the averages were all skewed by the IMBRA nightmare.

as a very rough guide and if all goes well, its probably about 6 months from very start to end. 3 months to get approved and 3 months for medical and then interview :)

but thats utter rough guides, could be faster, could be slower! each case is different and the speeds can pick up or slow down depending on all kinds of things.

welcome btw and good luck, this site is the best site on the net by far :)
