April 2009 K-1 Filers

[James and Megan 0]

NVC finally got our file yesterday. They said right off the bat that it was undergoing additional processing, so I guess I'll have to wait and see what that means for our timeline.

[endoftheroad 1]

Well I just woke up to check the website again before going to work here ... still says Case received and Pending but still with the updated last touch of 08-10-2009 ... so like many others here I can expect to get the approval in about 2-3 days in my mailbox? I sure hope it is finally happening WOOT

Have a good day you all .. time for me to go make a penny or two

Congrats!

Seems we are stuck at CSC.. Day 113 and still counting. It has been touched three times, the 27 & 28th of July and now just recently 10 August.. But yet.. Still No NOA2.. those in this thread have been getting approved an average of 85 days... Just wondering what is happening.. This is really, really frustrating..

Hang in there The fact that they're working on your case, and it's not just still sitting in a pile has got to be a good thing!

I called the NVC today, to see if they had our case yet, but nothing so far. No surprise though.. it's only been a week...

Sigh ... I can't imagine what they are going to ask for ... only thing I can think of is I didn't include a photo copy of my passport ... but included all airline tickets/ boarding passes / iterneries / hotel receipts etc ... and a original birth certificate ... I was all excited yesterday for the approval finally and yet we get this just to add more waiting waiting time ... pisses me right off this process ..

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent

Question-once the embassy receives your information, what do you do? Do you wait for them to send your fiance packet 3? Do you e-mail? Do you ask questions about packet 3 and the process, or do you wait? I don't know!

I didn't even see this!!!

I'm soooo sorry Good news is that if you send in the evidence, you'll probably see an approval shortly thereafter. Good luck and sorry again.

You know, thats #######...I sent just a photocopy of my passport pic page, and photocopy of my naturalization certificate, 3 photocopies of the expedia.com receipts for the airfare, 1 picture of us, a email from nigel, and my latest phone bill at the time plus the forms! Thats it! That birth certificate may have been the prob if its not a long form for some reason....maybe thats it, I saw a bunch of people crabbing about having a long form birth certificate. I donnooo...all i gotta say is thats ####### for you, i'd be p.o'd too.............small consolation......at least they're on the ball and then you can hurry up and send them back what they want....

Sorry to hear this From what I read here on VJ, it could be more evidence of relationship, and you just send everything you sent with the original package and some more (they probably lose it, or I don't know). Or maybe it's something else, they will tell you.

This depends on the embassy. Maybe ask people in the regional forum? Amsterdam embassy sends packet 3 when it receives a petition from NVC. We will wait for several days after consulate receives the petition, and then contact them if we don't receive it.

Oh trust me they have plenty of evidence of relationship between her and I ... I sent in probably 10-15 full Yahoo messenger chats between her and I, cell phone bills from November 08 - April 09 , tons of pictures of her and I and her family when I was there in March/April. Chikka messages ( Chikka is a service that allows you to txt a cell phone in the phils for free from a pc and they can respond for 2 pesos) ... I really don't think evidence of relationship is the issue ...

It's either they need to clarify that we are not already married ( I posted earlier in the thread about this ) ... they may be confused as her and I both have matching engagement rings we had made by a real goldsmith in March when I was there. We both wear these and have many pictures with me seen wearing it clearly on my ring finger ... on occasion we call each other husband and wife in the chats .. or husband and wife to be soon. So they maybe asking us to clarify this for them .. I am not sure... my guess however they would of straight out denied our case if they though this was the case.

I think the more logical thing is they are going to ask for a photo copy of my full passport ... I believe I sent in the long form of birth certificate ... the long form inlcludes both the mother and fathers name on it ... which mine does.

Well I hope that is what it is because I already have a fully scanned copy of my full passport anyway because Jenelyn needed it for her CFO in the Philippines last month .. if we are lucky thats all they will need ... over night that puppy and hopefully get the approval soon after.

I thought your consulate website said they will mail the p3. You can also email the consulate, DOS, call, etc.

I see, yeah lets hope it's a copy of your passport, since you can send it to them very fast.

About the possible confusion of married/not married, this one could be a bit tricky. I wonder how one can prove they are not married.. hm. Maybe a letter with explanation why you wear rings, etc is enough? Anyways, better not to worry about it too much (i know easier said than done, I worry a lot myself).

I wish you good luck and hope your RFE is resolved quickly. I am sure you will get your approval very soon

Yeah, I know, but there have been stories of people not receiving their packet 3 and having to pick it up, etc. Just not sure how quickly I should ask. I think I'll wait till next week.....
