Contacted USCIS NCSC Concerning K1 Case Status

[RickJovi 81]

Well I called the USCIS NCSC today concerning my I-129F petition. I tol dthem I had sent an updated IMBRA Waiver for Limitations, which was returned to mewith an NOA rejection even though I already received NOA1 with a receipt number. Someone didn't do their job. I told them I sent it back to the Texas Lockbox with the NOA1, cleared check and email received from the Lockbox saying the original petition had been forwarded to the CSC on December 6, 2011. I just wanted to make sure the better formatted IMBRA Waiver made it into the orginal I-129F packet. THey could not tellme what I-129F petitions with effective NOA1 dates are being worked on. I hope this site has accurate data to help all of us out. It looks like I will be planning another trip to see my fiancee if I don't receive NOA2 by February 15, 2012. Everyone please update your timelines, I am anxious to see if everyone is waiting 4-6 months for NOA2 approval. Please feel free to comment. Thanks.

I have little idea of what IMBRA is, and no idea if it accelerate the process (I would imagine no), but your NOA1 is dated from this month. I would say don't expect your NOA2 before February 15th, that's very unlikely! It'll be more 4-5 months.

My first K1 NOA1 was received on January 19, 2010 and NOA2 was on March 2, 2010. Embassy interview was on May 24, 2010 with VISA approval. Unfortunately I got a bad FIlipina who used me, she had a meddling American Broether-In_law and hidden agendas. I met someone through friends which is the total opposite of the first betrayer and user. The IMBRA Waiver is from the Intternational Marriage Broker Act passed in 2006 by the president. IF you have filed two K1 petitions or one K1 petition in the last two years that is not two years old, you are required to file an IMBRA Waiver on limitations to give why such a waiver should be granted and the petition process and approved before the first one is two years old. Mine waiver is easy and straight forward as I don't have a criminal history, history of violece or domestic violence, no drug or sex related charges or abuse of the VISA/Petitioning process. I was the victim of fraud perpetrated against me. THe reason I say February 15th is because if it is not approved, I will buy my ticket to go see my fiancee again in March. I am not waiting 7=9 mmonhs to see her again and I can afford the second visit. It is also help strenghten proof of relation also, even though I don't need it with all of the supporting evidence I have provided in the petition and will continue to provide her to take to her interview whenever she has it. Thanks for replying and take care.
