K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-1 Visa Experience

i'm the petitioner (USC), here is our experience with the process from the beginning.........
last time we met was Aug 2011, spent the whole time in Philippines from Aug 2011-Jan 2012 with her, then Jan 2012 i have to come back to US, to work and start the process, I searched about getting my GF here and found alot of choices, at first i called FilipinaFianceVisa, they said everything will cost me almost $2000, so i said forget it, i searched again and found VisaJourney, i spent a whole week reading comments, post, threads about K1 process and the married one, after those readings i talked to her about what i read, she said "i'm here to help you out", so there it is, i started the process, February 1, 2012, gathered all the Documents from my side, (US Passport, Naturalization, Birth Certificate, Parents Naturalization, Parents Passports, Divorce Decree, you name it everything that has to do with me), then the next day i told her to gather everything too. then After a week, i followed the steps on here, the K1 Visa guides, K1 Steps, i FOLLOWED STEPS BY STEPS, filled out I-129f online, G-325A online, sent her a copy, she printed out and sent to me with her original signature, then i finished all the required Documents while i was waiting, then off to finalizing the package, this is what in the package i sent to USCIS,:
-Check for $340
-Notification Paper
-Table Of Contents
-I-129F
-G-325A for me with my SIGNATURE, and her with her SIGNATURE
-Letter of Intent, one for me with signature and her with signature
-copy of my WHOLE PASSPORT, from front cover to back cover
-copy of my naturalization
-copy of my Divorce decree
-boarding pass, pictures of me and her 15 pieces of pictures, NO TIME STAMP, i wrote our WHOLE NAME, Place where the Pic was taken, date on the back of every single photos i sent, we have pictures kissing together, about 5 of them.
-skype logs, fb chats, yahoo emails,
****i went above and beyond with our packet, FRONT LOADING is what i read i think**
then i check, check, check then checked again, then had my mom checked it, then my friend checked it, then i checked it again, then after checking maybe for a week, i still missed something on G-325A, from me and on her, so i have to wait again for her new G-325A, then again check n check again, a lot of checking. then finally her G-325a came in and all good to go, did the final check and everything looks good,
SENT our PACKAGE APRIL 4,2012, then from there, NO MORE CONTROL AND IT's in GOD's Hand, a week later NOA1, then After that 4 months Later AUGUST 17 2012, receive a text from USCIS, APPROVED..NO RFE.. then 1 week later it was sent to NVC, then to USEM, then it was time to schedule her Interview, SCHEDULING INTERVIEW WAS A PAIN TOO, during that time there was no available date but i was calling every hour, i MEAN EVERY HOUR, then i finally got a date OCT 4, then Sep 24&25 medical interview for her, passed, then for me it was time to buy ticket nd fly to Philippines for her INTERVIEW, i brought with me, i-134 and letter of employment from 2 jobs dated 2 weeks prior to the interview, lots of fb chats, skype logs, yahoo emails, and skype photos, original divorce decree. and all the ds, ds156, ds156k, ds157

USEM INTERVIEW

Nadiia has finished her journey now she is a U.S. Citizen, there is no rush for getting her passport and have to wait a till the beginning of May to update her social security card. Everything went really quick through all of this journey thanks to a lot of people on this site with their knowledge and help, it helped my family a lot. Will start the process for my stepson in 19 months, but will be much easier. Thanks again and I wish the rest of you quick ending to the process. Good Luck.

Well this was very quick, as I posted on the 24th of March Nadiia had her interview, today we got her letter to go to Kansas City, MO for her Oath Ceremony it will be on the 11th of April.

Well Just got back from Kansas City, MO. Nadiia has been approved and now we just have to wait for her to take her oath, this will now all depend on USCIS on when in Kansas City,
MO the following dates are available April 11th or May 15th, but what would be best is
6 June because it will be done in Springfield, MO a mile from the apartment. She was in
her interview for 30 minutes.
Under civic test she was asked 6 questions, then under personal she was asked about where she has lived and messed up the address by putting it all in the wrong order even after 3 years, she has a cell phone but didn't know the number. Her main problem was the fact thatwhen she was growing up it was considered the USSR still so she was affiliated with the
communist Party but never was involved in it so she was asked about it (I Knew that would be asked).
In the end all that matters is she was approved. In 2 more years will have to do this one more time for my stepson but without all the extra paperwork.
P.S. I have problems with updating the information tried many times can someone please update that she was approved thank you.

Wasn't able to update Biometric date we walked in last Thursday 30 Jan 2014  with our 7 Jan 2014 letter and after waiting for 10 people with appt's we got her fingerprints done. Just went to USCIS Site today an interview apt date has been made just need to wait and see when the apt will be when the I-797 gets here.

Well yesterday turned into a big disaster. I went to USCIS Website to see if the numerous times Monday night and checked 3 times Monday morning to see if the St Louis Office was closed since it was closed on Monday. It did not show the office as being closed so left at 4 am. It was a long trip to St Louis with snow covered Interstate, it took 4 hours to travel 200 miles. At 8 am I decided to Call USCIS to make sure the office was open. I was informed at this time that the office was closed for the day. We were only 45 minutes away, so it took another 4 hours to drive back home. I decided to check the website and to no surprise it was still not listed as closed go figure. I was informed that when the office opens back up we can go back and see if they will do the biometrics because it is done case by case in-between regular scheduled appointments. So decided to just wait for the new appointment to be scheduled. After the office being closed for 2 days and maybe even today the office will be packed with walk-ins. So now the wait goes on again. Glad to hear that others are getting their bio's done. Have a great day.

Well mailed out my wife's packet (3 years married to US Citizen) today suppose to be at Phoenix Lock by Monday. When everything finally gets started one trip to St Louis, MO for biometrics then one trip to Kansas City, MO for Interview. I'm glad either directions is about the same amount of time and mileage. Good luck everyone.

I am looking through the cover letters and it seems to me that there are a couple things missing that the M-477 Document Checklist says you need if it is for Naturalization on basis of marriage to U.S. Citizen  after 3 years a copy of one of the following documents of the US Citizen either Birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, inside front cover and signature page of Passport or FS-240 Report of Birth Abroad of a US citizen. Then a copy of the marriage license. I would list this on the cover letter too. I will be sending my wife's packet on 6 Dec 2013. Good luck with everyone's final step.

Everything went well with the biometrics in St Louis, was able to get my wife's done yesterday instead of today, was even surprised that when we got there only one person was in line first so 10 minutes we were on our way home.
