I'm new!!

Hi everyone........

I just joined today. I came accross this site when I decided to google about experiences other people have had for the K-1 visa. For the past few days I have read many interesting stories and I have learned a lot as well. And to confess I am one of many who is waiting waiting waiting to hear news about my case. The mantra seems to be "PATIENCE" and since I have read many of your stories I do feel more relaxed. My NOA is dated August 13th, 2010 with only 1 touch on August 20th, 2010. For almost three months there has not been any touches on our case, and this is what prompted me to seek other peoples' experience because it seems like a long time without any activity. My fiance is getting anxious!! And of course I am too. My service center is California, Laguna Niguel to be exact and from reading some of your posts this seems to be one of the busiest service centers, which might be the cause. What do you think?? Many thanks for your posts...... you have provided comfort during this process.

You are right on target. Don't worry you will get yours soon enough. Check out the timelines which can be found in the menu at the top of the page to see other people's timelines from VisaJourney to give you a better picture.

Good luck!

Hello and welcome!

Yes, "patience" is the key word around here. The California Service Center has been quite slow for some time now, expect your petition's adjudication closer to the 5 month mark (more or less).

Best wishes!

Hang in there...5 months is normal for the NOA2...be prepared for up to 3 months for an interview appointment since Bogota is getting backed up more every month.

Thank you....... yep we're ready for the ride........... just have to wait it out like everyone else, the process, the waiting, etc.... At least I'm heading to Colombia for Christamas and New Years so hopefully within a few months after that we can have reason to celebrate some good news. Take care!

I hope to be making a quick trip either on Christmas Eve or the week between Christmas and New Years to pick up my love. Have fun on your trip.
