Hi All - Our NOA 1 was 4/28 and ARN was 5/1 but we haven't seen any movement since then. We're at the California processing center and seeing the all posts about people getting approved in under 20 days has me worried. Is it worth a phone call to see what's up or will I just get bounced because it hasn't been 5 months?

No, it's too early to call.

Congrats to all the recent approvals! After reading through more posts and getting a bit more active on Visa Journey... It does seem like the CSC are processing faster than TSC. And it really breaks

I know right! Its about time...and the best part of it all? I did a better job of it myself than waiting for a lawyer cause if I would have left it for her to do it may take another month!

I'm so super excited! Now I'm finally on my way to another destination...I wonder how those chairs are at NVC? Someone please warm up my chair at NVC for me! I would run out hysterically and scream from the joys of it(but it is dark outside and people are trying to sleep not waiting like the rest of us on VJ)... but I'll save the screaming and jumping for joys until we get the final approval from the Embassy first! :dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

Good day fellow April 2014 Filers. Congrats to all NOA2 and Visa Approval!!

We received the RFE letter today:

=====================================================================================

Intent to Marry: Submit evidence from the beneficiary that she plans to marry the petitioner within 90 days

of the beneficiary`s admission in the United States.

Evidence of the beneciary`s intent maybe a statement,wedding preparations or other evidence

that clearly establishes the couple`s intent to marry.

======================================================================================

We submitted the Letter of Intent to Marry when we filed for I-129F using the guide in Visa Journey. But to reply in this RFE

we are planning to submit the following and use the return envelop included in the RFE letter.

1) Letter of Intent to Marry (Beneficiary and Petitioner)

2) Letter from the Priest who will conduct the Wedding

Any feedback/idea will be much appreciated :idea:

Thank You.
