Well this week I will be bugging the ####### out of Nigel (lol) to get what they call a police subject access, he can get from the local police for 10pounds that shows EVERYTHING on his record even when he was a bad little 17yr old letting the air out the neighbors tires! It says you should get it within or in 40 days so, that brings us to Nov 5th so that should be plenty of time since London interviews go about a month if he sends his packet 3 the end of this month or the first couple days of October...so we're just movin' right along! I was so worried about what to do with this matter but luckily another vj uk member told me about this! So knock on wood we have everything now! I make just a smidgen over the income cutoff for 3 person family so hopefully they will accept us! I guess thats why they have guidelines/cutoffs so that we know...so i'm ok for that anyway....so I guess we have EVERYTHING! Finally!

Attaya, we want wedding pictures! How are you covering the medical bills by the way being your not married yet? I wish I could go and buy a family coverage but well, we cant yet obviously, I need to get more coverage due to the ex dropping my health care, soo, have to scramble and go on the blue cross website and pick up a plan. I booked Nigel's medical this morning for Sept 28th that was painless to do! Here I was thinking it takes a bazillion years to get a appointment like anyplace here to get any kind of medical/dental appointment!!! So that was good, i just took it upon myself and just booked the darned thing and told Nigel...oh hunny, f.y.i, your medical is Sept 28th!! HAHAHAHAHA love it, we'll see if he gives me ####### tonite for just doing it you know but well, once a wife always a wife...LOL LOL...so all is well over here so far! I sent him the barcode form we had to generate and so by the time he gets that next week, he can send that along with the check list that asks for the medical date and he'll have that done and ready to send off by the end of the month! Sooooooo we'll see how long London's gonna take to give us a darned interview! Still stewing about his "no live trace"on the police thing but whatever...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnd Away We Go!!!
We're in the same boat...sent our 129f last week of April so its the WAITING GAME for the receipt....seeing everyone elses take a couple of weeks so I'm WATCHING the mail big time lately and so both of us are nervous wrecks! When I was a immigrant here 15 years ago, I never had this kind of forum or web information so I am so glad that there is more empowerment this time ...more information....
Good luck everyone!

On the uscis website it says when it is not meeting its target processing times it shows those weird dates unlike the California guys who are meeting their timeframe of 5 months now. Strange.

I was reading some old posts on the forum and i sure hope I assembled our petition ok...I didnt photocopy any passport stamps but sent our expedia.com confirmation itinerarys of our 3 trips and a picture of us together and recent phone bill and email....hmmmm...well maybe the 1 picture of us in the grand canyon was proof enough of the 1 meeting being they have official passport pictures of us so they know what we look like ...i didnt want to go excessive in the package we sent I wanted to keep it sweet and simple so who knows....I read somewhere that someone was saying that expedia itinerarys are not "really" official but they have our credit card and name and email info and airline confirmation numbers on it so I figured it should be ok...I donooo...just sitting here stewing over it....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Case Number
I think DOS is "Department of State" not too sure, but probably is. My case ARRIVED at NVC on 08/14, so I'm not too far behind you! Good luck!
Allie and NigelFemaleUnited Kingdom2009-08-17 20:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe NVC letter
Got the k1 NOA2 already, however I got nosy and called the NVC to check status....the young man said the case was received Friday 14th Aug but it is in Additional Processing...I was like...ok.............then I called 2 times this last week and neither said that, just that its there and in processing....then TODAY, Saturday, I got that so called standard letter dated Aug 20th stating that they have the petition and a new CASE# and will be forwarding it to the embassy within a week. So do I go with that or do I still think I'm gonna be the "STUCK IN THE NVC" bunch and have to WAIT who knows how long till they process me? I'm totally confused on that, part of me thinks I should just think NORMAL, till otherwise noted. But then others have probably got that notice and are still in genuine AP.
So i don't know what to think now!

I'm sure if you have your ducks in a row and show the evidence that your not going to stay in the USA i think you should be fine. Very common question but if your smart about it, i think you'll be fine, not all of us can afford to do this so feel very lucky that you have this opportunity. Good luck..keep posting and reading....and listen to the elder members, they really know what they're talking about!

People also dont realize that they could be stuck at the NVC too...not too many people budget that in, that they just ASSUME they'll fly right through...and then they get stuck....so i donno, time lines are time lines but then well....you can get stuck too...
sorry but true...lol.

Welcome to the club Sara! Right when we think all is smooth, then they make this stupid stumble block....me and Nigel are in AP for uhh its 26 days now...its all #######....truly.

We're all in it together! Seems like a lot of us are in AP actually....so strange.....




Hi, We are so sorry to hear all those sad stories guys, I feel for you as we've been in AP before and it took us almost 2 months before we got out from NVC finally...I have a friend who was once in AP too but took only 2 weeks..We pray you'll out in AP soon..

Try to read a post that similar to your case, thats in " NVC forum"..There are lots there..Goodluck




thanks for all the support guys.........i feel more down today than i have felt in a while i guess my expectations were pretty high that the waiting was over after getting out of csc and that we could finally breath again and finally start making some wedding plans that would not have to be canceled good thing i held off on that part

sara


I felt the same way, nobody talks about AP when they're all exited about the NOA2 approval...nobody tells us that you can be stuck for who knows long!
We just think ok this is next, etc, etc, then well, now here we are stuck at the NVC for who knows why....a lot of us have clean historys and no whatever skeletons in our closets and they still think they can AP us!! We/vj members need to make being stuck in AP something more common knowledge, its almost like whenever I see all these fresh faced new people with k1's just sent in or ready to send in and all exited then I feel like telling them straight up to watch out for the AP and not have such high expectations....but i'm kind of a grinch anyways...lol...

I called the NVC first, asked when or if they sent the package to the consulate. Then when they say yes, then in about a week phone the DOS to see if the consulate received it.

Funny, yes, i am bugging Nigel to go mail a letter to some police thing to detail what dates he was a bad boy 20+years ago I found this post this fabulous guy put on and he said the London people were fine with it cause its like 60 pounds for court records in Derby and you have to know the dates...so...if he just sends away for this thing or whatever its free and it has dates on it or whatever. I've already got Nigel's packet 3 at his house, except for the one you fill and print..he has to do that one....and the ACPO is in his hands and i have a copy of, but the "no live trace" he has to dig up old stuff....####### thats a pain in the ####...
Soooo, ya, i think he's tired of me yapping about it but I dont care, I want him here! He's so mild tempered he just lets me go on and on, oh it makes me laugh....overall, we've got to be out of that NVC soon, they dont keep things that long soooo I spose, maybe a December wedding isnt too far fetched....whatever...thats my rant of the day....you guys are really the only ones who truly understand....I just feel like the odd man out now since I think i'm the only one left out of our little circle of UK folks....

I think all we can do is just to wait and to stew and stew and stew away.........................LOL.
I hate this wait, its driving me nuts! You wish you were like everyone else and just to fly through this process, i thought we did pretty good with a 92 or so day NOA2 wait and then now...darnit. Maybe waiting for interview will be better...oh how I wanted a November wedding but nooooooooooo!

I think we are just purely speculating on causes, who knows what it really is. Being young or having little evidence is also speculating. I guess its just a bloody waiting game simple as that.

Well for me and Nigel, he's a bachelor over there in England and has little expenses...sooo, this whole thing is on his dime....plane ticket, the k1, interview, medical, the adjustment of status the whole thing + a few months expenses when he's here. Lucky him his money is almost double ours here isnt it....so if you say the expenses in pounds, its less than us paying it in us dollars right? Oh I so wish I could just take a month off work and just fly up there....but nooo, I have 1700$ for a Vegas wedding thats it and I'm not touching it, no way! I just keep saying to myself, maybe we will have a December wedding....we'll all know more around that time wont we-I'm sure of it! However i'd like it to be sooner, you know the holiday season is so bad for air travel but whatever.

Ergh. I certainly don't think that is fair to pull certain countries....I personally would rather wait a little longer in London to get an appointment than to be stuck in AP. Just for the mental fact that it is one step closer for the paperwork to actually be in the UK.

I know this is probably an old issue, but how is it that NVC can have no timeline for AP. Its like being stuck in Narnia and not knowing when you will return.


You know thats a excellent way to describe it...Narnia....lol...I like that....
Well hopefully all us couples will get out of AP soon...this stuff really sucks. Timewise I met Nigel online April of 08, physically Sept 12/08 but I knew he was "the one" the very moment I met him online....then was pure magic when we met....been like that ever since....and i miss him horribly....he's working alot to save some money for our life here and adjustment of status and interview, medical...etc...he's a bachelor with very little expenses so he can save a few thou no prob. Me, I have a 15yr old daughter, and well stuff that goes along with it! But I own my own house and have no car payment but still, its so much easier for him to save money than me!!
Definitely will keep in touch, nobody really knows what its like but the people here and well we can sit here and crab all we want and well...it helps....lol
