Hello!

I sent our I-129F on 02/10. It arrived yesterday (thank goodness for tracking numbers). Now waiting for part one of the process our NOA1. Hoping and keeping faith for a smooth and issue free road ahead.

Needing an extra dose of patience between this process and preparing a trip to see my babe with my little one in April.

Best of luck to every one!

We just got email says our case was accepted and being sent to California is it good news?

[ashleyphilly 70]

Goodweek everybody. So what are your expectations on when to get the NOA 2? We r on Texas center and the average seems to be like 100 days. By the way, i saw a Cal feb filer who got the NOa 2 in a week. Honestly i would be beyond happy if we get ours around 60 days

So today they are closed because of Presidents' Day I assume. So I won't torture myself checking that site today. We (baby and i) were supposed to travel last Thursday to DR to see him but the snowstorms cancelled our visit so now instead of spending time w my honey I'm stressing like crazy over RFE's. omg.

I read somewhere he will need to get his old marriage license even thought we have the divorce. Is that true? If so when does all this paperwork need to be dated for the consulate visit? Hoping to anticipate and keep busy as much as possible do it feels like we are at least being productive n proactive (although in reality nothing is in our hands w this). We've gotten Skype set up and Whatsapp since we used to only use phone calls. Skype is truly amazing for us especially w the baby. I'm so sad this process takes so long because I think of how the baby changes each day much less each month. Can't believe there's no way to expedite. Not that I'm thinking we are more important than anyone else it's just sad he missed the last 3 months of pregnancy (flying restrictions for me after 31w preggo - I returned to US on the final day allowed :/) . Praying we get our NOA2 by April? (Wishful thinking??) and we can get through the NVC phase quickly to get the appointment by June/July And I dreaming a sad lonely dream? Everything is difficult without him but w the baby it's magnified. We were able to spend almost am entire month together during my maternity leave in Oct and it was AMAZING. I really loved seeing my honey n our baby boy bond. But I couldn't go back during the holidays cuz prices were outrageous and Feb was our set date since Nov. I'm totally bummed wh is the reason, I guess, for my rambling post here sorry!!! Lol I hope to rebook for march but OMG prices are really incredible.

So in the meantime I'd like to plan. The wedding (searching for flexible places since a date is so unknown) trying to find a dress(!) looking at invites we can't order cuz we don't know when or where. HOW are we supposed to plan this?

And for the record I know the medical has to be 3 weeks prior to consulate appt and the good conduct from the police we will get again closer (we front loaded one).

Stressed and sad.

Hi SoydeEl,

Hang in there. Everyday moves us closer to the one we love. It's like when each day passes, I become happier. Like you, I am praying for an approval for April as well. I'm not planning the wedding yet. We will first do a city hall ceremony for the AOS. God help all of us.

[Nikki181 8]

I got my email and text NOA1 today finally!!!! Sooo super excited! It took 15 days but it's on its way to California!

AshleyPhilly that's an awesome attitude I'm just so ready for us to be together and I honestly am floored as I read all the difficulties and slow response times w only a few lucky ones here n there...it gets harder and harder as the baby grows n changes so much every day and he's missing EVERYTHING but we are thankful for Skype n Whatsapp still...3 years together and this is not even a guarantee as they can deny us at any of these stages??? Lord help us. Ill try to adopt your optimism but wow it just seems like they should just give us all lie detectors n get over it! Lol

Nikki - congrats!! I hear CSC is super fast in processing you lucky thing!!!! ?????

Hi SoydeEl,

Dont worry about being denied. They only deny you if your relationship is fake, if the petitioner has serious crimes mostly sex offense or if the beneficiary overstayed his/her visa. But what I am worries is receiving an RFE, and not replying it on time. They can deny you on that basis too.

Congrats Nikki, Cali is super fast.

[Mrs.InLOve 14]

Gosh I hope so!!! I've seen some denials posted on here and that's just frightening!

SoyDeEI...stay calm. Denials are rare and are limited to petitions with some red flags and other issues related to the beneficiary such as drugs, convictions, etc. Of course certain countries are more scrutinized than others and are susceptible to false negatives. Nonetheless, the overall approval rate of k1 visa is more than 93%...so..smile, relax, and wait patiently.
