September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Aero and Dero 0]

Ours was only 30 pages. I feel like everyone else has had much longer applications than we did which makes me paranoid that I didn't put in enough. XD

Interesting.... the passport alone is 24 pages, let alone the g-325 for you and your fiancee, that's 8 more, then the letters of intent, 2 more, 1-129f three more, passport photo of you and your fiancee 2 more.... Did you include proof of having met and included pictures, etc? 30 does seem a little light but if you followed the checklists provided here I'm sure you got it covered.

I didn't include my passport. I have a state certified copy of my birth certificate.

I think I've checked....maybe 7 times this hour. I mean, honestly, it's unrealistic. They only got my file yesterday. But I have this INSANE urge to keep checking. And now I do this thing where I close my eyes, click, and they open one at a time to see if the money is gone. No luck. But I'll keep trying!

Until then I'll just online shop for warm clothes. I'm visiting him in November and he says that there could be some snow. We haven't had an actual winter in Kentucky in I couldn't tell you how long. Silly Laval. Maybe I'll continue my search for cool things for us to do while I'm up there, since he's no good at that kind of thing.

You're from Kentucky? My family's from Kentucky.

Good luck! ^^

Does anyone know if the estimate dates on the timeline page fluctuate due to case load?

I could swear they are earlier now than before.

They are...

Not that I want to get too excited, because I am sure it doesn't happen too often, but Igor's list shows two August filers were approved this week.

I was just in Laval earlier tonight. I wish we could trade places! Although I would go to Colorado, not Kentucky.

Did the check go through?

We submitted our paperwork on September 16th. I'm so glad the process has started. We are both hoping the time passes quickly and are really looking forward to finally being able to start our life together. Good luck to everyone. I know we are all in the same boat and I think this site is going to be a fantastic support system during the UPs and the DOWNs.

Just popping on to say Hi and good luck to all. Our NOA1 was from June and now our petition is on its way to London as we speak!!

To answer your question, the dates fluctuate immensely in the beginning and will even out after around a month or two. The closer you get to the approval the smaller your projected days or approval will be. Ours started out saying it would be in October and ended saying we would be approved Sept 3rd (we didn't get approved until the 16th though.... )

Also, I would not rely too heavily on the USCIS for updates. The last updates I had were two touches one on Sept 16 and one on the 17th. There is still no update to say that we were approved and its been more than a week....

I am totally boggled at August applications being approved this week. Man. It makes me wonder if they're flukes or what. This doesn't really happen often, does it?

I dreamt i got my NOA2 42 days after NOA1! it was a very clear 42

We don't know, it might happen. One August filer got his NOA2 in just 50 days and wasn't expedited for some reason or something. Isn't that great? Let's hope for a fast journey.

Here's to hoping they cash it today. Cross your fingers everyone!
