February 2008 filers

[Amanda+Stephen 0]

I had a general question about the K-1 Visa. Do you guys know how long it's valid for after it gets approved?

From what I've read:

Beneficiary has 6 months to use it once the Visa is issued. Then once in the US, the 90 day timer starts to get married.

Thanks a bunch. 6 months is good.

Well, I know it's not that big a deal, but my fiancé hasn't got his NOA1 yet, though he sent the petition on Feb 7... He knows the check was cashed OK, but without the NOA1 we can't register to the USCIS site and check the progress of our case. I don't know where the problem may lie.. He'll probably call them in the next few days to ask what's wrong. I think it may have got lost in the mail, and if there are any such problems in the area where he lives, we'd better find out as soon as possible.

If he wrote them a check he should be able to get the tracking number off the back of it. It's sideways at the bottom of the endorsement section. It starts with three letters.

just wait a few more days. They received our petition Feb. 13, 2008 and we got the NOA1 in the mail on Feb. 25! That took long, most what I've read here in the Feb.filer, they all received their NOA1 within 4-7 days after USCIS received their petition. You can try to call them, but in the forum they say it doesn't really bring you a whole lot of answers cuz nobody knows who is working on your case. But you can give it a shot tho.

I am sure you'll have it in the mail by next week. It's prolly already on it's way to you

Good Luck to all Filers!

oh and what I just thought of ...Feb. 18 was President's day...so they didn't work!

Ehm I read a few postings and some filers were talking about getting the stuff transcript ready to sent to your Fiancees. I am the beneficary and I am leaving country in 3 weeks. Untill then I wanna prepare my Fiance with the documents he needs to sent me before I go to the Interview. What documents are you exactly talking about? And where can I get them. Can anybody help?

Well the only thing i know that could possibly slow it down once the file is in someone's hands is the name checking. More common names could slow the process down. Then again, there are probably a multitude of reasons!

Here's hoping we all get speedy approvals!!!!!

If thats the case I should have said my name was Mr. Barky von Schnowser

I wanna be touched, come on pick up my dusty file and do something with it. lol

[Sal and Jay 2]

rawr I haven't gotten the hard copy of my NOA1 yet and after attempting to decipher the tracking # on my check my brain has gone batty and I gave up.

anyone wants to give it a try be my guest lol

im kind of worried i'm going to get an RFE, i just hope what i submitted was enough evidence for them

I agree, it looks like eac**9952673 I'd just go and start randomly putting that string into the system with all of the numbers...it can't hurt.

lol i did that and got a bunch of other peoples' cases!

thats what frustrated me so much...i'd put in something, it'd bring up a page i would look at the date and go DAMMIT!

ETA - thank you everyone for trying lol

Did you get your nao1 yet so you can track your application, or did you work out those numbers

Hello everyone!

I'm a February filer me too, very end of February lol

I was wondering if they always send us an email for NOA1, or if some only received the hard copy of NOA1. My fiance didn't get anything yet so far but we saw the check was cashed.

If you scroll down on the guide there is a section for what to send the beneficiary. Good luck!

He/She will be getting something in 'snail' mail as well.

Good luck!

Hi there and welcome to VJ.

We didnt get anything by email for the nao1 just the hard copy in the post.

Once you get that and can subcribe to the uscis site you can select to get email notifications.

Good luck with your journey.

Have you got it yet? I would agree with the last digits being 9952673. Of the three questionable digits, the first two are 08 (it's just the year), and I'll take a shot that the third digit is 4? If it's not 4, there are only 9 other possibilities!

The petitioner has 6 months to use it. Once it's been stamped at the POE it is no longer valid for entry. You'll have 3 months to marry from that point.
