February 2013 filers K1

[UK-USA-K1 128]

Thanks so much for your recommendation. I have contacted the Sydney Embassy and waiting to hear back their suggestions. I will pop a cover letter in with my paperwork too before i ship it off.

It is a little reassuring to hear there is a possibility of leaniancy regarding the time frame at least!

I'm not going to test the 4 month limit, as we are currently in the waiting for an interview stage now, but it is my understanding that the 4 month period is the time limit for the fiancee to apply for the Visa at the consulate after approval is given via the I-129F. If no filing occurs by the end of the 4 months, they consider the petition abandoned. Since you are filing your application for the visa before that, it won't expire. As others have said, they may require you to submit certain documents again, but this would be embassy specific,and since you've contacted them already, I'm sure you have your bases covered. Best of Luck

I got an update on the 8th which I really thought was going to be the interview, after a call to DOS it turned out to be logging my DS 2001, which I had sent weeks before!

I hope your update turns out to be better news than mine did.

Sounds like we are both on a similar timeline. Hopefully we get that interview date sooner rather than later. I really want to be able to book a flight for no later than October 1. There are only a few airlines that give a one way fare that is comparable to half the return fare, and they only serve my city seasonally. The last flight for either is October 1. Would be nice to be able to cut a thousand dollars off the price of the trip, that would save me just about the amount needed to file the AOS. I'll keep thinking good thoughts and maybe we'll both have the interview scheduled soon.

Hello February 2013 filers! I am a May 2013 filer, and just recently received a RFE. We submitted the items requested to our lawyer, which she presumably overnighted to the CSC. I am wondering this: any February 2013 filers who had RFEs? If so, how long until the service center acknowledge they received the evidence? How long after receiving, did you receive your NOA2s?

I am hoping the wait isn't too long, though I know there is still a wait/process even after getting NOA2.

My events timeline is in my signature. I was a CSC filer with an RFE and all the dates are listed. Hope that helps

Just in case others run into the same issue as me, there is some relief knowing you can extend the period easily! I am so thankful!

Thank you for your recent inquiry.

To revalidate your petition, please have your U.S. citizen fiancé provide you a letter, requesting that your petition be extended to a further 4 months from the approval date of the I-129F petition. This letter must be dated and signed by your fiancé.

The letter from your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) should state their intention to still marry you within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S. with the K-1 visa and that you both are still free to marry.

Please scan and email a copy of this letter to SydneyIV@state.gov

If your request for revalidation is approved your application will automatically be extended & you will not be notified, however, if it is denied, only then will we contact you within 5 business days to you to advise you further.

Thank you

Note: You should never pay for travel arrangements (e.g., airfare, hotels) without having a visa in your possession. The U.S. Consulate General accepts no responsibility if you do so. Generally, it will take 5 business days to print your visa and prepare your document package after your interview; however, we are unable to guarantee the issuance of a U.S. visa before a fixed travel date. You risk significant financial losses if you ignore this advice.

**** Please include your case number in all correspondence ****

Please think before you print. Do you really need to print this email?

Question, if i have a Hepa B which is hereditary will that cause me problem in medical and not having a visa?

Hep b is not hereditary. It can however be passed on from mother to baby when giving birth.

I don't think you will get a denial as its not on the list of communicable disease. You will have to show some sort of treatment for it.

Thank you for correcting me. Will it cause delays for the visa? Do i need to have treatment first before they give me a visa?

It won't cause clay but they need to know its not active. You might want talk to your doctor about your status before going to have your medical.
