Hey everyone,

My I-129f was received on August 17th and ive still not heard back regarding my NOA2. Im starting to get really paranoid.

It seems some people who applied around this same date have heard back and we still havent.

Any advice? Or is it just sit back and wait??

Many thanks

Rhys


Your way too close to your 90 days to start worrying....its usually that long actually....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsLooking for some help
I agree, it took us 3 months to get noa2, then NVC took 30 days AP, some people are less, then you go download package 3 from our links on this site, then you call dept of state to find out if its been sent to London, then track it, download forms, get your evidence ready...then you send packet 3 to London, wait for interview, which is fast...really...all in all, maybe 6-7 months...?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports6+ months waiting Club
Question for you guys, I've been tracking your posts a few of you, and I can not say that i understand your situation quite yet but--but I'd like to know....are your cases a bit different or more complicated than the rest of us somehow? It just seems odd that its taking so long for you folks, especially I feel for Sara who's been waiting so very very long. How do you folks keep the faith going so long without seeing your fiance's. I've been apart from mine for not quite 2 months and its already killing me...so to speak! Good luck to you all by the way!
Allison.

Riggs has had the P3 for almost 20 days now. He is still waiting on some information he needs from the council to complete the forms, hasn't even sent off the correct request for his Police Certificate. I guess he sent off the request that cost £10, not the right one that cost £30. He doesn't have a working printer, and this is seriously driving me insane. Every time I talk to him and hear that no progress has been made I feel so frustrated, I'm never in a good mood when we talk anymore... Anyone have any advice for me? I feel like I'm at the breaking point, and my dream of picking him up at the airport is floating farther and farther away from me. unsure.gif


He has to get the ACPO police thingie and then the 10 pound Police subject access if there's a "no live trace" on his certificate thingie. I had to tell Nigel to do the same thing! We'll be ok, i'm sure of it!

I'm so frustrated i just want to spew out every cuss word I know right now!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! I dont dare tell Nigel cause then he'd get all anxious too...oh the wait is unbearable!

I cant wait till the 4-6 months till this whole thing is over and get to see my fiance ....damn I miss him and its hard to keep a straight face every day!! Aaaaargh. Got nosy and found the website that has the 2nd batch of papers they ask for on the London embassy. So printed them off and had them sent for the poor man in England without a working printer...hehe....damn I'm good. Ok bored and slightly obsessed about this whole thing and want it OVER SOON!!!!!!!!
Here's the link for the London embassy....THanks to another VJ'er he put this post up:

When your file arrives at Consulate in London, approx 3 weeks later they will send out packet 3. Packet 3 doesn't contain any forms but gives you the information of where to find these forms on their website. Below is the link with the forms in top right corner.

http://www.usembassy...a/iv/iv_15.html

When you send the forms DO NOT send your police cert, birth cert & I-134 with supporting evidence (tex returns, pay stubbs, employment letter etc). You take these to the interview & present them on the day.

WOOHOO HAPPY PRINTING FOLKS!!!

Some people put their ss# on their drivers licences but they are slowly telling people they dont need to or should anymore. Its weird because in Az, they want you to change your name on your ss# before they change it on the drivers license. Stupid really.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2009 K-1 Filers

I'm now getting ready for work. Its so sad, only having 4 days to adjust to this wonderful new life together. I never realized how much more food 2 people go through compared to just me. crazy.
He's checked on how to get the SSN, and we'll be doing that on the week after next. Then getting a drivers license, in the state of Oregon requires a SSN <_< Plus the wedding in a few weeks here, have no idea what I'm going to wear!! I'll make Riggs post up his reviews, he's being lazy.



Ya tell me about it---food wise it really makes a difference! Remember you can do Davids bridal dresses for like 99$ or so...we've decided to wait to get our ss# till after the wedding then I can get mine done at the same time. Our banks didnt need ss# for him but drivers licences do, he's never had a licence so its me changing mine, so gotta do ss# for that. I was reading ages ago about us folks with foreign spouses, its like you look over at them and you cant believe you really get to keep them now! So damn true! I think so far its a awesome ride!

Yes, we had to send away for the marriage certificate. They give you a ceremonial pretty kind of certificate, and the license and the official certificate to give to the minister, they file all but the pretty one, so we got that to give out to some folks who didnt care they took it to change my name no prob. So we did that today actually online to order the official certificate. Somehow in Vegas your name gets forwarded to document centers and they phone you up and solicit for mega bucks to send it to you for like a stupid amount of money but I declined them and they didnt bug us again. Changing my documents was easy without our official certificate. Unpacking and cleaning the house today big time, like a crazy person, and then off to work Sunday!

Well we got back home today! Long drive, tired, overall the chapel was awesome! The whole thing was excellent, wish we could have spent more time with the family but just had our 3 days in and out basically. Now we wait 10 days for ordering the wedding certificate thingie and get those big papers goin! Changing all my documents to my new last name (finally) and just take a big exhale..! Glad everyone watched the ceremony, wasnt sure if it was working for some people! Was a great experience....just glad we're home!

He's leavin today huh! Woohoo! Watch those flights! We are in Vegas now, and it was a real pain in the ####### for the marriage license yesterday cause there was a shooting downtown and we had to take a taxi to another location and wait a million years but all was well, my mom's flight was delayed overnight in Calgary so will see her later this morning, they lost 1 night in their hotel stay but oh well. So it was a good thing we realized the time change, Nevada 3pm is 4pm Arizona time, so we had to tell the folks in England its 11pm there tonight, so glad we did all that yesterday...duhhhh
So folks tune in at www.littlechapel.com at 3pm LV time! Look for Allison and Nigel!

Hey Allie, have you called the chapel yet?
Is it easy to talk to them over the phone to ask questions n stuff?

What you do is go on their website and do things then you pay online. Done. It even customises your flowers and such.

No use crying prematurely, I KNOW. You know what the possible outcomes are so take it as it comes. Chances are someone here has been through it too and emerged successfully. Same as you will.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJust sent in K1 I-129f Package!!
So we just got our I-129f package sent in yesterday after a few days of form filling, photocopying and double checking! Seems like such a weight off our shoulders now! Hopefully there wont be any need for an RFE seeing as we covered every base possible!

What do we do next though? I know there will be a long wait, especially going through CSC, but is there anything in the meantime that we can be doing?

Also, we will need her parents to be our co-sponsors as we are both in school and so obviously dont earn enough for the income limits...is there some kind of guide which clears that all up, as it seems like theres quite a lot to do to get the sponsor stuff sorted(and after i thought the I-129f was a lot to do!)

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA1 question and online case checking
I think i read somewhere that you can check your online status at the USCIS website before you receive the official NOA1 form, by viewing the back of the personal cheque used to pay the $170 fee. is this true? or is the application receipt number that they ask you for on the uscis site something that you can only see once the NOA1 comes?
Thanks
