October 2009 K-1 Visa filers

[LeoLaLit 2]

Hey Leenie-

We have the same problem with my Fancie, we don't have a ring or something formal, so is kind of weird to say here in my country that u are engage, my friend ask me ohh let us see the ring there is no ring....or when did u do the party?.......but anyway

You know what im a little worry, that i have seen here thats sometimes in the consulate they ask for a ring receive.....thats will be a problem for us?

No, it's not a problem at all if you don't have a ring by the time you get to the consulate stage. Lots of couples never get engagement rings. What proves your engagement is the letters of intent that you send with the I-129F!

In regards to the NOA1, but the way, most people don't actually receive their HARD COPY in a few days. We actually got our hard copy 13 days after we sent our package. It's just that the hard copy has a "notice date," and this is technically the "NOA1 date" you might see on some timelines, like mine. It sounds like you are on schedule.

And ... welcome to you and visa-visa!!!

And HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone

hi keydymenro! welcome aboard the thread!

Leenie is correct, the actual NOA1 is based on the Notice date on the I-797C that you received. As for me... i didn't get the hard copy until after a week i sent out packet... but my Notice date was the day after the CSC received my packet.

And yes, you shouldn't be worried about the engagement ring... as long as you prove that you have a real relationship and intend to marry within 90 days after the beneficiary's arrival in the US, then you should be fine...

goodluck to you and to all of us!!!

go CSC! go go go Otoberians! :dance: :dance:

SO SO GO GO GO OCTOBERIANS

Hi everyone,

happy to know more friends in this site. Specially, friends who sent package in Oct 09. My fiancee submitted the package I-129F on 04Oct, and we got receipt (NOA1) on 06Oct. We are thrilling to wait for NOA2. Hope it is fine.

P/s: I am living n working in Vietnam now. Is it possible to work oversea while visa K1 is on process? So confused about this. Please help and give me advice. Thanks alot.

Cheers,

Ann

Hi Ann!! Welcome!!

I'd like to help you with your question - but first of all, are you the United States citizen or the foreign beneficiary?

I am just the foreign beneficiary. So Is it a problem?

You can work abroad while the K1 visa is in process. You just have to return to your home country for the medical and interview.

Hey, question for everyone. My cousin filed for her K-1 in mid september, and she posted on her facebook today that her visa was approved. Is that possible....?? I don't think she's been on this website, and I think she may have been mistaken, but I don't want to say anything to her until I find out if it's possible for their visa to be processed and approved this quickly.

Thanks everyone!

Hey Jessica an Carl

Well i have seen here in the web side that some people god the NOA2 like in 2 or 3 weeks but it was just for the people applied in California Center no for Vermont so probably she got the NOA2 in thats day, and if she or him lives in UK i seen that the embassy is pretty quickly... so let me tell u that could be possible but who know.....u better ask her why she say that. don't u think?

Has she gone through the interview process at the consulate yet? If not, it's probably the PETITION that got approved, not the VISA.

But yes, the VSC is crankin' up on their K-1 approvals... so it is possible that she already got her NOA2. Hopefully the CSC will start crankin' it up too!

I think she got her NOA2 and the'll be setting up their interview soon. We'll see. Our check hasn't been cashed or anything yet, so it's hard to believe that they've already gotten their NOA2, but I suppose it's possible. I guess I'm just jealous that me and my fiance have been together for like a year longer than they have, and they're already so far along in this process. it's not fair!!!

Yes, this is a really long wait But if it makes you feel better, it seems like this is the longest part of the process. Everything should move at least a little faster after we all get our NOA2s!

Our NOA1 hard copy came in the mail yesterday! \o/

Congratulations!!!

I did not notice anybody talking about this so far, but it looks like CSC starts to take a good example from VSC in terms of time it reserves to process I-129F petition. I closely monitored time Timeline suggests my petition is going to be reviewed, and starting from the very beginning (October 13 check was cashed and NOA1 was sent to me) and for good 2 weeks the forecast was rather negative. The review time was sliding far and far away from me and finally reached the middle of the February. However, then, something strange have happened with the statistic of CSC and it looks for me like number of workers, who are assigned to review K1 petitions, was at least doubled. At any rate, over the last week my Timeline forecasted review time got closer to me by more than month! It states now that it is going to be reviewed somewhere in between December 28th and January 9th. I also have a feeling that it is only beginning of the process and the forecast will improve in the future significantly. Hope that my observations are right and we all would really get our NOA2s much sooner than we hoped.

[Leenie 15]

You're right about that. My timeline forecasts approval at the end of December! And I have noticed some people on Igor's list getting approvals in about two months, so that's super good news. Gogogo CSC!
