September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Seb928s 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!!!

OOPS! Sorry I got you hooked! Congratulations everyone so far. So.. here is a question.. how the heck do you plan your wedding? We were supposed to get married October 31, had everything planned and then had to cancel. It was a very special date for us, but now we don't even know when to think about planning one. We wanted family there, etc. What is everyone doing?

Well we just plan on having the civil wedding done with so we can do the AOS and once we are set with her green card we are having a big wedding in Poland. With All her and my family in Poland it's the only place to have it. We would have to close the embassy down for all the visa appilcations that they would recieve. Going to be around 150 people for our wedding and she is probably going to choose the same place to have it as her sister just had this past July when I was there with her. See in Poland a civil wedding still isn't looked upon as a real wedding speaking in terms of a catholic person esp. the older folks. I look at it the same this one here is just to get our paper work down and we can have our so called real wedding later in Poland. Maybe August 2010 if we get everything done in time if not it's going to be July/August 2011. Our church wedding can only be done once with very few reason a catholic marriage can be ended by the church. We still follow the older ways not everyone but a lot do. I can't wait til she is here and can't wait to start planning our wedding in Poland.

All I can picture right now is instead of a beer can pyramid they'll have a pinkies and toes pyramid. When it falls down they all go "OHHHHHH!" and then one little lonely guy has to put it all back together again. Or maybe it's like Jenga!

Maybe it is like Bingo. They all have a little card with five little body parts across the top and five countries down the side...when they get a little toe from Australia, they get to fill in the corresponding box. So.. let's say, if they need an arm from Brazil, they look through all of their files to see if they can get a Bingo.. haha.

Hey.. my job is really boring, I would totally understand.

That is really funny.....

Thanks everyone!!! I am soooo happy right now... but I want to see the rest of you getting your NOA2 too.

How many of you are planning to go with your fiancee to the interview?

I just wanna be with him, so I decided to forget about the wedding... Maybe when we're together, if we can afford anything, fine, if not... i'll still be happy... Dont want anything fancy anyway. I do have a song for us... for our first dance... wherever that will be... and its the most perfect song in the whole world... Id love to get married on a beach, but i guess nothing is that important.... I just wanna be with him.... We were talking about him coming to the interview..... i guess it depends when the interview is... Would be nice to fly back with him, would be great if he could come here meet my family... i guess we will see... I just feel like crying this morning.... i know its still soon for NOA2, but.... cant help it....

I thought I was the only 1 who feels like crying when I think about it. But maybe this will make you feel better:destination weddings are great when it comes to having a small intimate beach wedding. Most of all, it's also very cheap compared to having a wedding here in the US. For instance, I researched, emailed and got price quotes from atleast 5 different resorts in Jamaica and it would cost me $3500-10,000USD for a wedding and a reception for 30 people. Also, you get a discount if you're honeymoon is being spent at that resort as well. Just makesure you let them know you're looking to have a budget wedding or else they'll quote you top dollars.
