K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswe wonder why?
It hasn't been very long yet. I agree with the others, you'll probably get your NOA1 shortly. Have you checked to see if they've cashed your check?

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

Hi all, Well I have called the uscis, Washington visa center and then uscis about 6 times trying to get my NOA-2 that they never sent me. One guy at the uscis told me to send in the I-834. I found this form and saw the fee for this form for a new NOA-2. $340.00. That really pissed me of !!! I called back to the uscis and told a woman there my story again. I have an approved I 129 f , My fiancee has her interview set up for Sept 26, and I never recieved the NOA-2 and there was no way I should have to pay for this. WHAT A PAIN !!!!! She sent an e-mail for a request for the NOA-2 and said I should get it in 45 days. I pray that the letter from the NVC stating that the I 129 f was approved and they sent it to Kiev will be good enough along with the NOA-1 US Embassy !!!!!!! Jeff


I'm glad you didn't have to pay the $340, that would have been terrible and totally unfair. I hope you get your hard copy NOA2 soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswaitting for noa1 i-129
I have read several posts about people who still haven't gotten their NOA1 yet and they filed at the end of July, too.
Clarky and TarahNot TellingUnited Kingdom2007-08-16 21:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVJ processing date is accurate?
Before my fiance and I got our NOA2 we had adjudicating dates ranging from the beginning of July to the middle of September. We were actually approved around the end of August, so it's just an estimation. Don't worry if it fluctuates, thats just caused by the change in VJ timelines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS Processing times
Where are the current processing times posted as 6 months? Isn't it posted as about 120 days at both service centers? The one on the USCIS website doesn't really count since it's always automatically generated to say 6 months, anyway.

Anyway, we got ours in about 3 and half months.

On the London Embassy website it says that sometimes they can make make special arrangements to schedule interviews faster if you have proof of arrangments you've already made, but that it's not guaranteed and they recommend holding off on making those arrangements.

I'll post the link to the exact info as soon as I find it tongue.gif .

Opinion post....

Do you think it would be crazy of me to book February 23,2008 for our wedding day?? Approvals seems to be taking right around 90-120 days - and on the forms that go to the embassy in the SO's country it says have you made travel arrangements, set wedding dates etc. Also, the lady i am in contact with at the Embassy in Syria told me to let her know as soon as i've gotten approval and she'll keep an eye out for his file. Should I trust all of this?


If VSC is taking an average of 3 months from NOA to NOA2 you whould expect to see yours around the middle of November, right? And if you've already got someone looking out for your file...I dunno, if you're a risk taker I'd say go for it. It would stink to have to reschedule everything if you're not approved by then, but it would also stink to not have anything booked and have to wait for an opening or get married some place you don't want to.

I've read on here somewhere that you're not supposed to make any arrangements ahead of time, but I think that might have just with the information about the London Embassy, so it might no apply to you.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.



So London specifies not to make plans early?

If you can share any of that kind of info I'd like to know...

I mean, honestly, we haven't started making any plans yet, because the way I see it...there's no point to schedule all sorts of stuff if you don't even have your approval NOA2.

"On August 23, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this

Woo.

Hope I don't sound like I'm not excited, I'm just completely shocked.

Hi all. OK, add me to this list. Yulia and I (Jeff) received our NOA-1 for the K-1 Visa on March 23. We are still waiting for the NOA-2. I have called them about 12 times and the last time I talked to someone at USCIS, they said they would send out an e- mail to get this for me. Well I just sent out a letter also. ###### !!! mad.gif Can't believe how messed up this is !!!! Good luck to everyone waiting for their NOA-2 Jeff


You won't show up on this list because it is compiled form VJ stats. It appears that you were issued your NOA2 a long time ago.

It is strange that you never received a hard copy of your NOA2, but I can't think of a reason you need it. Your petition obviously made it to the embassy and you have your interview scheduled.

Now the lack of a package 3 or 4 does seem strange. The embassy has not provided you with any documents to complete or pre interview medical requirements?

If you have not already done so, I would find some others who have gone through that embassy recently or have interviews scheduled and see what they were told.

Good luck! smile.gif


I remember reading on here somewhere that you do need your NOA2 at a later point. I think when you adjust status.

So i just got my NOA2 today - also found this forum today - and cried for the first time while on VJ today - i don't even care that i'm #124 on this amazing list. Its just good to have something to track - i had never been so desperate to be touched or poked or whatever!! tongue.gif

We spent a long 3 hours on the phone today - its amazing how u can find so much to talk about when not limited to a phone card (he doesn't do it often, but every once in a while he'll call from the house and run up a phone bill) i always get off the phone after one of these calls so sad for a while i've forgotten he's so far away and then it has to come to an end - he told me he had to go an hour and a half into it - but somehow i managed to keep him on for another hour an a half......Love is simply amazing.

Enough of that on a funnier note - my best friend wants to know if there is a support group like this for best friends of ppl waiting for approval! She's goin nutz listening to me...

Good luck to all and thank you for this wonderful list!!


Hello! This is the thread I visit most often while on VJ. It's nice seeing the list and knowing about where you stand. We've all been waiting awhile but hopefully things will speed up soon.

They CAN'T keep them forever, but it sure seems like it.


Hey Sparrow,

Thanks for dropping in. How is everything going with packet 3? Did you finally get ahold of your fiance :P ?



I did get ahold of him, about 15 hours after he called me to tell me he got it! Connections were so bad that day. He had his medical on Monday. They told him he had to wait about a week to get the results back so meanwhile he went on vacation. I swear I'm going to rip out my hair even though he should be back before the results are ready! lol


Wow, you don't have much more to do until he can come and be with you. Make sure you tell us when he gets his interview so we can keep our fingers crossed for you!

Sorry to here that...I think we have new additions on a regular basis...maybe that explains the slow down...

Yup. People update their timeline later; find this website later; etc.

From the adjudication rate, it appears that the receipting update issued on August 10th is downplaying the actual slowdown.
http://www.uscis.gov...Times081007.pdf

They announced VSC is still 2-4 weeks behind receipting a number of application types. This backlog started in May, and was severely underestimated. I hope VSC will be able to recover soon, and crank out NOA2s like they did last year at this time.


Me too. :unsure:

Weekends stress the heck out of me!!!!!!!!! They feel like wasted NOA2 days!!!!!!!!


Hehe, that's exactly what I've been thinking.



This is where information would help...such as how are they dealing with these delays...are they working weekends? Extra hours?? What is being done to push these petitions through and get people on track to be reunited with those they love. Im facing heart issues here with my SO being 8000 miles away and Im the caregiver for my elderly parents. How can I keep on this way??? Working nights, caring for them...and right now I need medical help and fear a second hosptial stay....its so hard on us both when he can't be here to be by my side through all this.... Just information is all im asking for...


I'm sorry you're taking this so hard. I don't think they will be giving us any additional information, though. Hopefully next week will be a more productive period for VSC. All we can do is keep our hopes up and vent on here when it feels like it's getting to be too much. Hang in there, there are April/May filers getting NOA2's now, you're not far off.

Good luck everyone.

1.They think we missed answering those questions i listed before.
2.Three people checked it before we sent it,nothing seemed missing at all.
3.We got a post mail from HSD,not via email.but i have to montion my other friend got this notice via email .both of us were told to fill those missing part out and send it back,and they will handle it within 2 weeks.


Just submit what they are asking, the faster you get it in the faster you will get your approval. Don't worry about whether or not they are wrong and you sent your information in right before. Once they send you an RFE (which is what this sounds like) I really don't think they will retract it. Just redo the form if you have to and get it in.

Good luck!
