September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

That would be the worst April Fools joke EVER.

When I put money down on our honeymoon I thought it would be funny to play a joke on Mathew and tell him that someone had already booked it. Well it didn't turn out so funny because he FREAKED. He's such a stressful person and apparently I got him the wrong night when he was worried about school or something. But I still thought it was KIND of funny. Still waiting for him to get me back, though.

That IS a little funny Be careful how much revenge he takes. My family likes to play pranks..and they get really out of hand. When one uncle was getting married his brother, who is a lawyer, had another person in their lawfirm send "official" papers showing a paternity lawsuit from some other woman. When their sister got married, they had someone call her a few days before the wedding and tell her the banquet hall for the reception had burned down. NOT FUNNY... but I do recall laughing at both of these.

Needless to say I have not YET told my extended family about even applying for this visa. I am sure you can see why! HA ! I hope he doesn't read this post and come up with something truly aweful for revenge

In your case I don't think I'd EVER tell them about the visa, lol. I'd be too scared of what kind of notice you'd get in the mail next!

Well, I think I am going to have to tell them eventually.. those who haven't met him yet will wonder who the strange man is hanging around with me at family functions

Hmmm.. the more I think about the joke you played the more I giggle. Fuat would NOT think it was funny... must get evil ideas out of my head.

I would just be like "Yep, we've been dating for a while, getting married now. Nope, that's not an accent you hear. He's completely 1000000% american. What? I'm not sweating!"

Now that I know that it is possible to be approved in the middle of the night, I won't ever be leaving my computer! Here's to hoping I get approved at 9PM like you guys.

Guys, with an approval @ 9pm and the fact that it was checked half hour earlier with No change, doesn't that tell us that the system doesn't immediately update after a touch?? I'm most certain that VSC is closed on nights and weekends. Also, what is all this talk about "expedited?" Who, what, where and how???

Someone gave me some insight into the 9:00pm thing.. it is most likely a contract worker who is updating the system later in the evening, doing data entry on things that had been done during the day. I highly doubt VSC governemnt employees were working that late..

It's very difficult to get an expedited petition. Most often done for military personnel who are being deployed. I know there are a few other cases where it can be done, and there's some guidelines in the main forums, but I think you have to be able to show abuse and that it would be a danger for your fiance to stay in thier home country. From what I've read I think it has to be pretty extreme circumstances with a lot of proof to back it up.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

COME ON VSC.. there's a few more September people out there that I want to see approved ASAP!!

[paciencia y fe 2]

So, i'm totally obsessed with the USCIS site now, so while i should be catching up on the mountain of paperwork i checked the 2382 cases that were opened Sept. 24 (my NOA1 date). I know, I have a problem.

But here's some interesting stats, if you are interested (I'm a data junkie):

2382 cases opened that day

55 are Fiance petitions

of the 55:

12 Approved

10 RFE'd

33 still in initial review

Breakdown of action dates:

10/08:

1 Approval

10/15:

4 Approvals

10/16:

5 Approvals

8 RFEs

10/19:

2 Approvals

2 RFEs

Hope these numbers increase everyday!

PS: just a caveat - there was a huge gap of numbers where there were no fiance petitions, which was weird but i do think i checked every single number...though i could have made a mistake!

No I think you are pretty accurate. When I got tipped off on the idea of doing this, last week, I sat down and tried to go through every one of the 9/24 petitions. There was a huge stretch of numbers that were not for K1 visa.. lots of AOS, EADS and things like that. I did not have the patience to sit and go through every case number, and it was driving me crazy, but went through a lot of them.. and noticed the same thing.

I just know you and Kayla are going to be getting yours soon. I was really hoping to see the two of you get yours, because then I would know mine might be on the way. I have been checking all day, watching for news from the two of you.. and everyone else!!!

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

HEY.. you know what we really need now?

To see someone from CSC get approved!!!!!!!!!
