My Signature Outlines how fast it can be... Now we are expecting our Interview Date to be scheduled any day now... We are blessed our case is now moving along quickly.

oh! But I did call and make a Service Request on the 6th of Aug asking USCIS Officer to "physically locate my file" and the phone Rep couldn't transfer me directly but said the normal "wait 3-5 days for a response" then magically at 9:15 that night I got the text and email saying it shipped.

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)

My Signature Outlines how fast it can be... Now we are expecting our Interview Date to be scheduled any day now... We are blessed our case is now moving along quickly.

oh! But I did call and make a Service Request on the 6th of Aug asking USCIS Officer to "physically locate my file" and the phone Rep couldn't transfer me directly but said the normal "wait 3-5 days for a response" then magically at 9:15 that night I got the text and email saying it shipped.

Thanks for sharing... I guess in my case things are always going to be with a dalay in between. My case was sent from TSC on the 15th to NVC... they got it on the 22 but put it in the system on the 23rd, and assigned a case number. But now I am still waiting for them to put it in transit to Santo Domingo. An every time I call they said the file is undergoing administrative processing... :(

Is there anything I can do to make this fast...?

I don't think there's anything you can do if it's in AP, but for K-1 visas they usually send out the file to the consulate within a few days of receiving it.

I guess so.. but I spoke to someone now at the NVC and she told me they are probably holding it because of the embassy, though she did not explain what she meant by that. Perhaps the embassy is not taking anything else this week given the upcomming holiday (Labor day weekend), or maybe they have enough for the upcomming months of interviews. I mean, I don't think they will be sending anything else this week.

It took a week for my case to be sent to the embassy....

That's not what you show in your timeline... They received my file last week at NVC and put the SDO2013...... number. But now they say in under administrative processing... ughhhh!

I wish they send it soon!

Thank you for sharing!

the only reason it does not show in my timeline is because it takes days for it to be put in the system. So since I do not have the exact date that it was received I put the date I got my case number and it was in transit the next day to DR.

NVC probably received it on or around Aug 14 or 15.
