Unfortunately guys I think we were all very very spoiled by seeing a few early approvals. We should be more realistic here and expect a 5 month wait period.. It has already been a month since my NOA1

Sent our petition on the last day of October with USPS and it arrived on 1st Nov! (according to USPS) so I guess that makes us November filers! didn't see a topic for November yet (I did try searchi

I may have misread it, as I thought the notice of expediting things from the Philippines only applied to those that were already married. Does it apply to everyone that is in the Philippines?

Hhhhhmmm.... I was wondering that too. My fiance is in the Philippines and I wanted to see if the "expediting" included everyone from the Philippines

A few of us have received approval of our I-129f petition itself, but no one in here (november filers) has an approved K1 yet ^^

And good luck! It is very nerve wrecking but the best thing to do is be on a forum like this, especially one where everyone has sent our I-129f on the same month, like we all have :) then we can all support eachother!

Sent package 1st of Nov, still no email/no text.

Unfortunately no tracking was set up, and money order was used.

Whom should we call? sad.png

i'm thinking it could have been misplaced in the mail somewhere, :( did you send it with USPS?

it's probably worth trying contacting USCIS though, just to see if they have it, I hope everything will be okay!!

Hi,

Do we have to have to get done all the medical tests and vaccnations listed by USCIS or is it on case on case basis as suggested by the Physician.

Will appreciate a respose. Thank you.

You do have to have the medical - everyone does. It's mainly to look at dangerous and communicable diseases. The vaccines are also required but you can wait to get them done in the US as they'll be needed for AOS. I would think it might depend on the embassy if they accept the medical without vaccines or not. I know you can also waive them if, for example, the woman is pregnant, but these are just a few cases.

The K1 journey:                                                                                                                             The AOS journey:

11/09/2013 - I-129F Packet mailed to Dallas Lockbox                                                                                         06/22/2015 - AOS packet mailed to Chicago Lockbox

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L) 

                                                                                                                                                                      

The ROC journey:                                                                                                                         

10/12/2017 - ROC packet mailed to VSC

01/21/2019 - ROC Approved - there was no interview

 

The N-400 journey:

02/16/2020 - N-400 application filed online

02/21/2020 - Paper NOA received in the mail

03/13/2020 - Biometrics

02/02/2021 - Interview & test - Approved

02/05/2021 - Oath Ceremony
