No, no movement at all! No touches, movement...i think theyve closed for august at the CSC

After you get a approval, would you say it was realisitc to add another 1 1/2 - 2months in order to actually get visa in hand? I have all my forms ready to go, avidavit police records ect.... at least between me and the CSC at least omeones on the ball

Hi Melannie,

Maybe b/c you are in Australia? From my research I have found out us British can't get it done until the embassy call us to do so. Good if you can though, wish I could!

I have everything ready to go....police cert ect.... just waiting

Those folk at CSC must be on their annual hols right now.

I'd guess that you NOA2 should be very very soon! Hang in there!

With ref to times....it depends on what country your in? I know London are one of the quickest. It roughly takes a month to get the approved petition sent over to your country. Then packet 3 gets sent. Depending on how long you take to complete this and send it back, this will save you some time if like you say, your "ready". Then a few weeks wait to hear about your interview....then that could be in the following few weeks. Then a week or so to get your passport back, with your K1 Visa in it!

So...your about right with your times. That is the scale I'm working too. Hope that helps.

Ps. I just want to be there in time for Xmas, I'll cry if not!

Are you sure?? I know of two couple on here in the past 6 or so months who made appointments with the Medical office before they were called. I searched but couldn't find their details. I'll keep looking and PM you if I find them they may be able to give more info.

I'm in the UK now and b/c we didn't expect it to take so long. I may have to go through it all again. My Medical is due to run out in Decemeber

I'm just going from the evidence I have found...

Specific instructions will be included in the information sent to the foreign fiancé(e) from that US Embassy.

I would have had mine done by now if there was a way around it. I do believe you need a number, which is sent to you. Also, I don't think the embassy doctors will see you until you have your paperwork from the embassy.

If you find anything different, please let me know.

You'll be done by December! Is the medical you have done by a certified USA embassy Doc?

i believe the medical is valid for around 6 months possibly a year i did read that if you had a medical in the last for your k1 at aos you dont need another. but the number thing 20and8 is talking about is what i'm concerned about. will have to find out for sure.

oh and pauleen got bk to me, it was a falce alarm, was playing with her timeline and igors picked it uo oops

Hmm, California has been in some major budget issues in the last 2 months, and threats about cutting worker pay have been looming.

Anyone know if USCIS adjudicators are on the state payroll, or on federal?

Btw, this no approvals thing is pissing me off. There's no holidays this month, and not a single one until the beginning of next month. This is why I wonder if the budget issue may be reason behind the slow down.

dont panick septemebr is the begining of their new fiscal year according to an attorney that we spoke to so they will have a lot of money compared to now and will prob hire more staff, he told us this when we asked how long it will take and he explained that when they have less money they shift staff around to other areas, and it will take longer and then when they begin their new year and have more money again they get more staff put into their areas. it could be a reason for the last two weeks now you think about it it has been rather slow but then you have a week of just 13 then a week of 31 then bk to just 14 if you look on the stats on igors

unless gordons promises of impending nudity fro the other thread has got them all on sick leave for stress, thats it i blame gordon

well thats what they have put in the july update, and i'm only quoting what the attoney explained to us, maybe i'm remembering it wrong maybe its slightly earlyer than sept but i know its different months and dates to everyone elses fiscal year and i deffinatly sure all our fiances would be up there doing gratis if it was an option

20and8 tell us about yourself you missed our get to know each other mid thread. and it would be nice to think/talk about something other than igors not moving, i feel like a broken record.

where you based in the uk?

[DairyFarmer 1]

I'm fairly certain USCIS is federal, funded by the filing fees we pay.

I had heard that too, that Sept is the new fiscal year. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR CSC!!!!!! Now, get the new year started right and clear the backlogs....please

I'm sure things are progressing...as I've said before, Igor's isn't as accurate as people like to think...there are a lot of variables involved, and human error is one of those. Even if CSC has slowed down, I'm sure things will progress quickly soon enough. I'm sure we'll get some processing going again!

I've been focusing on the embassy stuff now, gathering information and the like so that we're prepared and can have as little downtime as possible after this hurdle! Plus it helps with not driving myself insane! hehe

I'm being extremely lazy, but does anyone have a quick link for all the in's and out's for what to do after the NOA2 is received? Forms to fill out, papers to gather, etc.

[Hannah+Vito 0]

ugg i feel like i'm going round in circles, and like we are not getting anywhere, i still haven't sat down and got the paper work done have been bk to the doctors since the last lot of no help i got and i still havent made my wedding dress or bridesmaid dresses cos my overdraft isnt finish paid off yet, but i have finish designing them guess thats something huh?
