K1 July 2014 Filers

[Taylor&Emilka 1]

So many July approvals - congrats! ...and we r still waiting... ehh!

[Ryan&Bea 1]

i'm keeping my hopes up BUT i'm already expecting a lil delay on our visa decision/approval since 4 of the 5 years of my recent work/residence history were spent in Dubai (outside my country of origin). I guess it entails more background checking since a police clearance (from Dubai) is no longer required in the USEM interview. I am already in the Philippines when we sent out our application.

Is anyone in the same situation?

breathe in... breathe out... hopefully our approval will be soon too...

CONGRATULATIONS to those who already made pass the NOA2!

You may or may not it depends on the consulate, reviewer and what does come up.

If you have not been on here take a look it says recommend waived. http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/AE.html

Have you tried contacting the office? I would try that just to make sure an RFE wasnt submitted....best of luck!

today has pretty much been the most nerve wracking day i had in a while.

with all the wonderful post from other july filers with their NOA2s coming in.

i've check this site and uscis way too many times today, but i just can't stop.

i'm truly happy for all who have gotten replies back.

i'm hoping for a reply soon.

this is one of the hardest things i've ever had to wait for!

i guess even if it takes the full 5 months for us, at least we're half way there at this point.

keep hope alive!

I already did my research. Police Clearance (or Good Moral Certificate as what they call it in U.A.E.) is not required unless the beneficiary still resides there and has an active residence or work visa. Thanks for the link though...

At this point, all my docs/requirements for the interview are neatly collated and filed in an envelope. All I'm waiting for is that nerve-wracking approval and a scheduled/reserved interview date in USEM.

I can bear with the wait but my son misses his dad so much. I just want them to spend their 1st Christmas together as they already missed last year's.

Bea,

Yes I guess I should been more clear. I am sure the consulate people are aware of it but just in case you may print out a copy from the state department statement saying it should be waived.

I Know my fiancée is Filipino as well she lived Abu Dhabi for four years.

My fiancée had the daughter of a friend living in Abu Dhabi go into the Police Station in Abu Dhabi just a couple of weeks ago, with a copy of fiancée's old passport and all of her information and ask for a police certificate. they told her NO, only the person themselves in person or an Employer here in UAE can request a Police certificate.

I printed out a copy of the state departments "Recommend Waived" statement, it is in our packet of info I will update and rush to my fiancee when we get the NOA2. we will include it just incase the case officer is not familiar with it.

We are hoping it does not delay our approval as well.

I wanted to say Ditto.

I hope to see some NOA2's for today popping up soon.

I check ours 3-4 times a day,

Congrats to all my fellow July filers that received their NOA2!! I'm hoping to get mine soon!! Stay positive everyone!! It will come!

[S1mone 1]

Same here! Staying hopeful and positive!! Hopefully we'd get our NOA2 soonest possible time with NO RFE. Keeping my finger crossed and being patient as always. Goodluck to us. Will update you all once we received ours. Praying soo hard.

Thanks Hopeful 4 Xmas

i guess we're on the same boat then. I got most of my information from this site. I was able to save my brother that trip to the police station since he's based in Abu dHabi, too. I'm actually relieved that they changed the procedure FROM getting a fingerprint sundry in a local NBI or district police station then having it authenticated in DFA Manila, afterwards UAE Embassy in Manila and then finally forwarding to any UAE police station (which gets lost in the mail half of the time) TO simply not asking for it (if the person is not presently in the emirate).

I hope everything falls to places before December as we are also "hopeful for Christmas". I wish you the best in the rest of the K1 process xx

[JenDave3121 30]

Just received a text that they sent an RFE out today!!! Happy that someone is actually looking at our case but worried about what it could be??? Thought I had been so thorough??? Hope it gets to me ASAP so I can take care of it!!!!!

####### now it has pushed my date back further....ugh! It says an RFE can add 28 days to the wait!!!!

That sucks!!!! I'm sorry to hear that

[JenDave3121 30]

I have been told by a few people that they had their approval within a week of returning the RFE info so I am hopeful I should have my approval within a couple weeks!!!
