K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?
The problem with using Nebraska or Texas as the center is very few people within the last six months have put them on there timeline. Most change it to CSC because that is where there case is. Now the problem with that is it only takes a few potations that took over a year to get there NOA2 to mess the numbers up like it is now. The worst case would be if listed as CSC rather then TSC is maybe add a few days for the forwarding to California. And maybe after Your NOA2 date is entered change the center back to Texas.. The date given on my timeline was there for me to have a date to look forward to and thats it.

Just my thoughts

The last news I read was on CNN,com:
And I quote

"Israeli and Palestinian leaders will "immediately launch" peace talks -- aimed at creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel -- and they hope to finish negotiations before 2009, President Bush announced Tuesday."

not that that has anything to do with our current subject hehehe

THIS TUESDAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION

SHe checked and said that they got it TODAY! biggrin.gif I hope all goes smooth. I never had any touches or anything so this was pretty exciting for us. Good luck to everyone! Hope we all get NOA2 VERY VERY SOON!!

Interestingly, when I called the CSC yesterday and spoke with the Immigration Officerette, and I complained because my Case Status Online should have reflected touches from each of my calls, the Officerette said that calls do NOT necessarily or automatically result in a touch, even when someone calls to inquire about an RFE.

This would explain why MY file hasn't shown any touches, but how does this correlate with everyone else calling and being touched as a seeming result of the call?

T-Bone

Well every time I called I got two touches sometimes three. I think they make it up as they go. Bummer it is taking so long though. Good luck tbone

QUOTE (dasmith @ Feb 28 2008, 09:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
well this is what i've learned from alvie at delbros

you pay fee, send the text

they receive payment, send the "verification form" to USEM which is for the CO to use to verify your docs.

form then goes back to delbros

the next day, delbros takes all the "verification forms" to NSO with what exactly needs to be verified

response from NSO goes to delbros who then turns it back over to USEM

so, it appears that delbros adds 2 additional days to visa approval process (not to mention NSO delay) if the CO needs/decides to verify your docs

all in all they are patient but difficult people to get answers from, however they are able to confirm the receipt of your payment and that they have given then USEM a "verification form" with your name/case number on it.

I only paid 650 for me. I did not pay for my daughter because in the instructions it says principal beneficiary only. We applied for K3 and K4 visas and we are now in LA since feb 14. We had our interview feb.7 and we got the visa on feb. 12.



Oh well thats nice. I have just seen a K3 app that paid the 650 and was asked for more at the interview on Feb 8th.. They still have no visa.

Like what Jyz says.. It is just a recommendation to take the shot when she get to the US of if she's still here she can get it for free @ SLEC..

If everything goes well I doubt it if she will ever come back to SLEC to take that shot..

She can just take it here.. I am couple of blocks away from a Public Health Facility..

Roserick: it's gonna be ok, maybe its a vaccine that they can only provide in the next 2 months.
When I had my MMR vaccination, I was instructed that I wait for 1 month before getting pregnant.
Maybe she had this vaccination yesterday and maybe this vaccine that she can have in April cant be taken consecutively.

Im talkingto Marie_9 yesterday, I think she's with Rose at that time. They were really tired.


Yupz.. Marie_9 was with my wife.. They had their Medical together..

Thank God everything went all fine..

Thank you. Delbros Delivers!" and then the 2nd text came after 26minutes acknowledging the deposit I made.. am so happy that today, ONE DOWN!! hehe kicking.gif

but wait, nobody post here that there's a PHP50 service charge in the bank! unsure.gif



There wasn't an extra fee when my baby paid it but if that made them reply quicker it is money well spent. I am happy to hear they are replying faster now!!!. When they started it was horrable..

USEM didnt asked me to pay for DLEBROS, and didnt asked for deposit slip. So I told the Lady at USEM Releasing that I paid Delbros Php650 for Doc. Verification, she said it wasnt required for me to.

Hmmm... I think it's because my orig inteview date is Nov2007. But anyway, no regrets shelling out 650 for my peace of mind. laughing.gif

Jyz,
Try using Chikka. You should have at least gotten conformation that they were processing it.
Just keep trying and make sure to be exact with there format. Like all capps and a comma after the last name.

my fiance called USEM this morning to check if they have received our case and if we have the schedule for the medical and interview. unfortunately, it was the e-copy that they have. the packet didnt reach the USEM yet. the lady from USEM advised my fiance to pay the 650 for verification fee to any metrobank branch asap. according to her, as soon as they get the payment they will put us in line for the interview instead of waiting until the packet is received. that will speed up the process. so i did what the lady said. i just paid the 650. i texted delbros and i got the reply from them few seconds after i sent the msg. this is their reply: Delbros has successfully received the information you sent! We will send you a text confirmation after we verify your payment. Thank you. Delbros delivers!
