April 2009 K-1 Filers

[Lisa and Ian 7]

I know this isn't on topic with the current conversation at all, but I feel like I've been haunting Igor's list and USCIS way too much in the past 24 hours, so I'm trying to distract myself with something that won't make me want to scream.

Neil--for you-

And here is the cake that I really like so far. I think it keeps up with the whole snowy mountain thing that will probably be going on. And I like that it's not like anything I've seen before.

cool cake! I like that it's modern-looking.

Bluetooth your picture.

If you have bluetooth on the cell phone and a laptop with bluetooth, you can zap a picture file from the phone to the computer.

It's kind of a pain, though, so if the phone had an online photo album service (I know alltel does), you could send the dress photo to that, log onto the photo service, then download the photo to your PC.

That's what I have to do with my phone's photos, or I email them to myself (which is basically the same thing). It's a bit of a pain, but works in a pinch if I've forgotten my camera! lol

Good luck !!!

I pray everything will go quickly (in USCIS terms) for you both.

Be sure to keep us up to date!

Playing the waiting game...

After getting a touch on 7/17 I have been checking my mailbox, nothing yet.

Hello Everybody,

I foudn this posted tonight in a different forum and thought I'd pass it along. Apparently in 2007 a former USCIS employee applied for a K-1 and joined VJ. He then took the time to answer all kind of questions for the VJ community. I thought it was a good read.

It does adress country specific red flags and he says that while there is additional checks that are required for certain countries it doesn't dramatically affect wait times. So that is my bad, call me an ignorant Canadian if you must. My apologies.

Anyways I thought I would pass it along it answers a lot of questions on why applications are approved out of order (although it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me), and why you would see several touches without RFE's or NOA2's.

Hello gang!

Oh what a weekend. I will leave it at that.

Hope everyone is in high spirits, we should see some more activity among the group I suspect.

Playing the waiting game... of sorts...

Hello fellow VJer's,

I just wanted to join the April 2009 K-1 Filers. I submitted the paperwork for my fiance on April 1, it was received on April 14, and I received NOA on April 16. I keep feeling as though I'm missing an important piece of information regarding this entire process because everytime I log on to the U.S. Immigration website to check our online status there has been no change just the same old message "received and pending". This is normal right? I mean it can be months before our package even gets touched right? If anyone has any additional advice for me I'd surely appreciate it. Thank you.

At the moment I am working abroad in Iraq supporting our U.S. Military troops and my contract ends in November 2009, so I'm praying that we will have SOME word of even something before then. The only joy I have about this entire thing is that my job affords me a vacation every 4 months (since I work 7 days a week/12 hours a day) allowing me the opportunity to see my love. I touched him for the first time in person March 2009, and will be going back August 2009. Now if only there was word of some kind of action being taken concerning the status of his Visa it would be wonderful.

Good luck to everyone who's holding on.

That status is normal... I have gad my NOA2 for some time now, and mine still says the same thing. But do look for a "last update" change. That is a "touch" on your case, and a good thing. means you might get your NOA2 soon.

Are you familar with the rest of the process? If not read the guides as they help millions...

Best of luck to you.

In other news Nan just called me, she said her paperwork will be done tomorrow, and she will be heading back to Bangkok wednesday. Might get packet three off early next week. Fingers crossed.

Very cool link. Thanks for that!

[attaya_girl 1]

Good morning!

Thanks for that link--very interesting to read.

Lamine and I are celebrating two anniversaries here pretty soon. Tomorrow is seven months since we've seen one another and we are also coming up on our one year. I hate that we've spent more time apart now than we have together.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday and that we start seeing those approvals roll through.
