K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBest way to send the form?
Send via USPS. You can print the label at home from the usps.com website and have a tracking number to check delivery status online. Will cost you $4.60. Just get a priority envelope from the post office.

Welcome to the waiting room and good luck. VSC seems to be much faster than CSC right now. I wish my case was at VSC, just to speed up the process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFlying to U.S after interview
If you go to the Philippines subforums and ask how long it takes, you might have a better idea. From looking at the Philippines timelines, it is anywhere from a couple days to 2 weeks. I belive if you request to pick up in person, it may be a little faster. Maybe best if you leave close to interview day and go to interview and explain situation. May or may not speed up process if your there. I plan on doing the same thing. Good luck.

If he is getting a better job and above the poverty line. It will be fine from what I have read. Like YuAndDan said that should be the only paperwork you need.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI think im ready to mail docs to my fiance
You should look at the I-134 and do exactly what it says for the bank.

http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-134.pdf

Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions where you have deposits, identifying the following details regarding your account:
1. Date account opened;
2. Total amount deposited for the past year;
3. Present balance.

I'm not sure who would do this at the bank. Let us know what they say about it or if it was no big deal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdjudicated?????
If you look at other folks using VSC, approvals are coming fast. So, you can expect that date to be changing real soon for the better. Go to immigration timelines and see how long it is taking from NO2A to interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew to the process
It seems way too difficult to predict a date when your visa will be in hand. Although, VSC seems to be moving fast, you never know what the future will bring. Your best bet is not to spend alot of cash on a potential wedding date. Atleast wait til to you are approved to get a better idea what will happen.

Maybe you should call the embasy there and ask about using the packet 3 online forms that Jeraly spoke of and see what they say. I don't know how the mail system is there, but 1 month is a long time to be waiting and would think that it is lost.

Don't worry, just try and remember as much info as you can. I sent mine in also without making a copy. I wish I would have, but what's done is done. I have not heard anybody say they were not approved because they did not have a copy at the interview. Good luck.

Maybe you should go to your fiance's country and live with that person for a month or so and see how it goes. I think you would have a better idea of what you should do compared to having reservations.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it normal to be touched quite a few times?
Touches do not always mean anything other than your case was moved. Could be to level out a wobbly table or it could be an update for pending approval. Really hard to say. However, for some reason, you will be looking for that ultimate touch multipe times a day. The longer your case is pending, the more you look for that "touch". I believe they are suppose to send an email when your case is updated, but I've read where sometimes they did not receive the email. So, bookmark the USCIS login page to your favorites because you'll checking it often.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help: No NAO1 received after 3 months!! Is this normal
Do you have the cancelled check? You can get your case number off the back of the check. The NO1A is really worthless other than the case number so you can check online status of your case. The NO2A is what is really in demand.

Good Luck to you and welcome to VJ.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescorrecting an error on I129
Maybe it is best to wait to see if they catch whatever you were trying to correct. The worst thing would be an RFE, which sounds bad, but I've noticed that some poeple that get them are apporved pretty fast after they send back RFE. Not sure what to tell you, CSC seems so backed up you cannot get a good answer from anyone.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTimeline
It is too difficult to say how long the process will take for your case. I would suggest for him to put in for 1 week of vacation the last week of July and one the last week of August to be safe. I'm a firefighter also, so I know he gets alot of time off (well atleast that's how California is) I put in for 1 week off each month from May to Sept so I know we will have time for arrival and wedding. Good and I think you should submit app asap.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSenators listen to registered voters
It is a good idea, but you are wasting your time and energy. Count me out. By the time you see any action through all the red tape, you will have your approval and won't care after that. IGM (I got mine) will be your only care. This process has been taking long periods way before we filed. Look back at old timelines and you will there is consistency in the length of time it takes. It is only because of the fee increase that it is taking so long right now. If we were all with VSC nobody would even be talking about the topic. Good Luck to you if you move forward. You might be better to have them post more accurate info about the hold up for cases.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnoa 2
Hi there- I don't know much about the previous marriage thing. However, the current processing time to get an NO2A is about 4-6 months. Difficult to say how that time frame window will change in a couple months. Now that is just to get the NO2A approval. After you approved, it is sent to the NVC, then to your fiance's embassy. You will need to look at similar immi timelines for that country and how long that process will take. Good Luck.
chuck_n_roseMalePhilippines2008-01-15 19:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy is my processing time getting extended?
I just looked at our estimated timeline and it now say April 5. When I first put in our info back in Sept, that date was Feb. 20. Go figure. As long as CSC is not processing apps at a high rate, your date will continue to change farther out. If they begin to process at a faster rate, then your date will move up which is what I think will begin to happen very soon. Remember, the date is just a computerized estimate, nothing concrete. And it is based on the amount of apps processed by folks that are inputting their info on VJ.
