November '08 K-1 Filers

Yes, we are also patiently (but worriedly) waiting also, no word yet from USCIS and based on all we've read here I dont put much faith in calling them for a status; also our case # is not yet registered on the USCIS website, but that also seems pretty normal.

I hope we start getting approvals very soon, we are rooting for everyone!

Matt & Huong's timeline:

Feb 2008 - met online, luv at first chat, hehe

June 2008 - met in person, spent 10 days in Vietnam, had wonderful time

6/24/08 - proposed marriage aboard Bassac in Mekong Delta

11/5/08 - Sent 129F to USCIS Vermont Center

11/7 - NOA1

12/18 - spent another 15 days in Vietnam, had engagement party, great time

1/3 - return to US, very very difficult and emotional separating

Hi matthew. Nice to see you around.

Can you please fill in your timeline? It helps VJ predict when we will be receiving our NOA 2's and helps people see their status on Igor's list.

Thanks....and good luck.

Hi Guys!

I was mooching around on the october vsc board, checking out the competition etc (BTW, SOOOOO lovely to see so many touches over there! Very exciting for us!) and i found someone had linked this.

I have never seen it before and found it very interesting. It is an ex USCIS adjudicator giving insight into the processes undertaken whilst he worked for the Nebraska Centre. I thought I would forward it on.

Thanks for that! Even though I dont like at the processing timelines from USCIS website anymore, it just feels better knowing that alot of October filers are getting approved and ours are on its way!

Just a question...has anybody else downloaded the packet 3 yet? I havent even looked at it but I heard that some December filers were already getting theirs ready haha

[Kevin&Leilei 1]

I've downloaded packet 3. I'm going to take a copy to my fiancee when I visit her next month. I'll help her to get the forms filled out, and get her started on collecting things like her police certificate, birth certificate, etc, and translations. Basically I want her reply to packet 3 to be ready to send back as soon as she gets it.

[just_friend 2]

Hello Kevin and Leilei. Would you please explain how and from where did you get packet 3. I would also like to start preparing it because I have a really good feeling about our applications.

Thanks

I've started getting some of my stuff together too for the next stage. We are hoping not to get approved to quickly....dave still hasn't found a job BUT....BUT! I'm still getting things together with a positive outlook on the whole thing. Police Certificate application is going off on Thursday and I applied for my birth certificate before we started the process....a little strangely i had my ex fiance, who is a civil servant, sign the back of my photo's and declare who I was for the police cert. Luckily he was cool about doing it!
