Question! How many days/months were you issued an RFE before you actually knew about it/got notified about it? I have a strong feeling I got an RFE.

I got notified via email the same day it changed on 9/3/2013. But it's taking forever to get the hard copy and I'm only an hour from the California service center. I believe they're 'truth falsifiers' lol because if they did indeed mail it on the 3rd I should've received it by now.

Welcome to the waiting weekend all!

So I guess I was whining too soon because I got the hard copy of the RFE today in the mail. It is dated for September 3rd but not mailed til the 5th & received today (7th).

The RFE is for the beneficiary's letter of intent to marry. I guess it needs to say exactly that we will get married within 90 days of arrival in the US. Whereas he put he "intends to comply with the legal obligations of the visa as we plan to be a happily wedded couple."

Well it sucks that's it but I'm also glad that that is it! Now to get started waiting for him to get the letter to me. Does it have to have his original signature if the first letter already did?

Hi guys! I've been staying off VJ over the weekend to spend more time with J over the phone/Skype and cheer him up from losing his job (ughhh what a setback for us!) but I'm excited to see more July filers who've received their NOA2s! Congrats to all who have been approved! :dancing:

Here's to the start of a new week and lots more approved petitions for the rest of the July filers. :) Looking at the stats for CSC, more than half have either been approved or received RFEs. Woot!

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

I think it should have his original signature on it, even if the first letter did. He could also sign in blue ink and to press harder while signing so the indentation from the pen nib is visible on the paper to assure the adjudicator that the letter is original and not a copy.

Best wishes for a speedy approval :)

Same here! Checked the USCIS site and it now says "On September 3, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

Bummed at getting and RFE, but excited to see my petition has been touched! Excited and apprehensive too see what they need...

Got the RFE hard copy today, and it is good news! I need to respond to question #10 on the I-129F, which concerns previous spouses for both of us. I left them blank since we are both single, never married. All I need to do is put some N/As in the blanks and send it back. About as "best case scenario" for an RFE as there is!

10/28/13 is our interview date. (10/21/13 was an available date as well...that would have put my NOA1 to interview date at 102 days ---- WOW!!!)

I mailed my I-129F petition on July 05, 2013.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to all who have answered my questions and provided insightful information and guidance during this process.

I sincerely believe that without this site, this process would have been more difficult.

The information within this site is invaluable. I am simply amazed there is not somewhere to make a donation to web site support. I would gladly do so in a moment.

This site has saved me thousands in expenses as well as time.

I will tell you this.......I put in over 200 hours of research before I had my final I-129F pouch ready to go out the door. I cannot stress this enough.

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

If you do this, you will save alot of headaches down the line.

For those of you who are still waiting and have been waiting forever, please beleive me when I tell you that during my day, I do say a prayer for all of you that any issues that are there are handled quickly.

Thank you to everyone who helped me.

Wow, great to see it moving along so quickly for you :) Congratulations on getting an interview date already!!

Very encouraging for me also since my timeline looks like its only a few days behind yours! NVC got our petition on September 5th, going to try and book the medical today since we got or case number yesterday from the DOS...

Also you are very correct, put the effort into the I-129F and do the research, use the wonderful resource that is Visajourney. I think the petition is probably the biggest hurdle, as there are so many things to take into account and they seem to hand out RFEs for such little things.

Hope everything goes as well for you moving forward, keep us updated :)

Rhi,

Use this thred to find out when you documents are received at the embassy.

Call NVC to find out when they were sent out, they will tell you.

Then go to this thread to get the DHL tracking number: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/302190-dhl-tracking-from-nvc-to-us-embassy/page-87

DO NOT book your medical at this time until you are sure the docuements are in route to embassy.

Remember, your K1 visa is valid for 6 months from the medical NOT the interview date. If you get stuck at the NVC or the documents go back to the service center, you could seriously shorten the time you have to wrap things up overseas.

Please keep in mind that some dates are only known after receipt of another document.
For example, the USPS Form 3811. The stamped receiving date was not know until the original Form 3811 was received on 07/13/2013 1:30 p/m CST.

Thanks for the advice! Although I have heard that there is a wait time on getting appointments for London for the medical, which is why we wanted to make sure that got booked ASAP :)

10/28/13 is our interview date. (10/21/13 was an available date as well...that would have put my NOA1 to interview date at 102 days ---- WOW!!!)

I mailed my I-129F petition on July 05, 2013.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to all who have answered my questions and provided insightful information and guidance during this process.

I sincerely believe that without this site, this process would have been more difficult.

The information within this site is invaluable. I am simply amazed there is not somewhere to make a donation to web site support. I would gladly do so in a moment.

This site has saved me thousands in expenses as well as time.

I will tell you this.......I put in over 200 hours of research before I had my final I-129F pouch ready to go out the door. I cannot stress this enough.

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

If you do this, you will save alot of headaches down the line.

For those of you who are still waiting and have been waiting forever, please beleive me when I tell you that during my day, I do say a prayer for all of you that any issues that are there are handled quickly.

Thank you to everyone who helped
