Which Senator's are helpfull which are useless??Please help! K1: TODAY 6 MONTHS WAITING FOR NOA2

[Ketsuban 1,034]

The reason you were denied entry that one time was because of the short time you spent back in Germany. They believed you had immigrant intent when you flew back to the US on the VWP. Basically, you were "living" in America and "visiting" Germany when it should have been the other way round.

Having perceived immigrant intent on a VWP entry wouldn't affect a K1 at any stage. I don't think you will know why you're being held up right now. After so long, I think you can request an expedite due to waiting way beyond their posted processing times.

Okay so i completely understand what u are into right now . We all know that there is some people get approved in short time and they have no Good Evidence of reference but still getting approved in short time . That's just ridiculous and stupid . BUT as one guy i used to know said "It's all about luck" they don't care about how clean u are or what did u do in life or anything . Of course of all us here and "i'm sure are clean and have clean criminal history" and have relationship for a year or more or anything . in the other hand there are people who just send a "K1" with one trip and getting approved over people been in relationship for years or months .... There is no other explanation than "luck"

It is very sad to be away from the one you love . And i'm gonna tell u smth . we been in relationship sense October,2012 with serval trips and got married and submit our file

In the normal view . We should get approved quickly bcz were both clean no criminal history none of us were married before a year and half relationship, letter from freinds, familly ...............

But who cares , This is life .. If u are lucky u don't need all these evidences , if ur not u gonna struggle just to be next the one u love , sorry that i make it so long , i'm just missing my wife terribly .

Thank you very much! We are a couple since october 2012 too ;-)! And know us since July 18th, 2012.

I agree with what you say, that it is a thing of luck too! Very much january and december fillers have been lucky then the last few weeks (that's what igor's List is showing me for TSC)

We are wiaitng some more and we are going to see what's going to happend. I wish you both all of luck too that y'all get approved asap and y'all can be together again

Yes that maybe could be really the reason! You know I was so nervous when I was sitting there I don't even remember all this questions they asked me there in this 4 hours, it was onl horrible and I was really scared because I don't know what they are going to do with me..... Even when I will get my visa, can you imagine how much self confidence it will go

Going to cost me to go back to one of these officers and show them my passport and tell them I'm here on a K1 Visa? I am crying really often because of this what happend and I hope so much that my fiance is going to be with me when I have to go to the officer....

Ok so people that wait one or two months they can do or what?! Sorry ridiculous! I don't try to fight against you, but you are telling me u cancelled the i-129f? After 8 months? Or how was it going then with your I-130?

Or did u waited 8 months for the I-130? I think just because you waited two more months as we did right now you can't lean back that much out of the window! It is really a hard process enough already and people like you just try to make it look easy but IT'S NOT! And normally all people who can think will feel the same about this!

Ok, so you've probably already done this, but I didn't see it anywhere, so just double checking...

Since 5 months is the stated "normal processing time" on the USCIS website, and you are past that now, has your fiance called, asked to speak to a tier 2 officer, asked them what's the deal, and requested to raise a service request? He will need to be the one to make that call, not you. Sample wording for the request - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/300553-service-request-for-i-129f-easier-than-expected/

To answer your original question - it's unlikely that a senator from a different state would help you.

Yes we already got a service request.... On january 23rd, 2014! They told us they actually work on august 16th, 2013 petitions! So they have passed our NOA1 date of august 12th, 2013! The response in short u can see in my signature!

Sorry, I have signatures turned off

Okay, next step is to contact your senators, as you are doing. At the same time, look up the USCIS ombudsman (you can contact them 45 days after the normal processing times so you might have to wait a bit...not sure what your exact days are).

If you would bother to have read my "About Me" for my full timeline this would have been cleared up.

You have absolutely no idea what I do to eventually go through to get our visa - ombudsman, service center directorate, a senator, a representative, a local field office, a foreign field office and two separate embassies, but yah know, I don't know anything about having a hard process. LOL!

I remember what it was like waiting at your point in the I-129F, I ended up moving to my husband's country to be with him and I think my dad had just died at that point, so I get it. I also get what it is like to be frustrated at USCIS because they really messed up our case. However, you might be upset that you didn't get extraordinarily lucky to get 2 months processing time (something people last year were dreaming of), but you are within the frame of normal for processing times over the last 5 years or so.

Relax, sit back, and it will happen.

Yes ombudsman sounds like a good next option too,.... And we will going to ask for a supervisor too in the end of february 2014, if we didn't hear anything new from them by then. Thank you so much

I think I have ALL Reason to scream and complain! more as people that wait here one or two months and whine because of this!!

You had an I-130?????

You do have the right to complain and u do have the right to be angry. I know what ya going through and it's awful and I don't wish it on anyone. The worst thing about it is there is not a lot u can do about it and that's what depressed me the most. Have u tried a infopass? It's a face to face meeting with an USCIS office but your finance will have to do it as they only do them in the US?

I see now and we will still be waiting. Like you said you know too what all this here means and some even don't....

I'm just trying to see and to get more infos about whatelse we can do.... I don't want to miss any options and want to sit here in the end with the thought we didn't tried everything.... I'm sorry your case was having so much trouble and to hear what all was coming with it. We will wait definitley.

Oh hun, don't be scared please look at it this way: They denied you entry for perceived immigrant intent without the correct visa. When you go back on the K-1, you will have presumed immigrant intent WITH the correct visa. They would have to be completely wired up wrong in the head to deny a K-1 visa holder entry for immigrant intent

No Infopass appointment yet but it is on the list of "what can we do next" ;-)

Thank you and I agree with this waiting where you can't do anything but you want it so bad to do something!

I'm sitting on hot coals everyday...

[ashleyphilly 70]

I think having your fiancee make an infopass appt can really work in this case. At the same time, try to relax a little. The strength of your relationship will prevail all these difficulties.
