It's important to remember the US Government has it's rules about how things should be done. Sometimes they don't make sense to us or seem like anyway to run a business...... Just remember you have your pink slip and the problem is one of paperwork. Having any loose ends, ie a previous K1 case, causes paperwork problems.

Soon she'll have her visa in hand.

Yeah, I'm told by everyone pretty much that they just need to close the K1 first before they can issue the visa. Hopefully it'll be soon.

:dance: This is the only time when "I told you so" sounded so GOOD!!! But I won't truly rest until we get the Visa in hand. But this does make me sleep better and eat better now, especially my wife. She has been crying for the last 2 days or so.

Yes the same thing happened to Dave_Thao, and the explanation given was the same. Something about having to "cancel out" the former case. Mai is on the phone right now with em Thao, who is now residing happily in Minnesota with Dave. The visa should issue soon.

Congrats!! We had the same delay. They wrote on the upper corner of the pink slip "CLOK" hit. I guess the Dept of State had to clear the CLOK hit before the consulate could issue the visa. I am glad you got it taken care of!

06-29-09 received GC in mail

4-18-11 mailed I-751 CSC

CIS Office : California Service Center

Date Filed : 2011-04-18

NOA Date Received : 2011-06-06

Date on NOA: 2011-04-22

Bio. Appt. : 2011-06-24

Had to make an Info Pass appointment because there was a delay in receiving the NOA for our I-751. Never found out the reason for the delay but they gave Thao a 1 year green card stamp in her passport and we got a the NOA 2 days later.

Approved: 2011-09-23

Notice sent: 2011-09-28
