November K1 filers

[Pheebs1201 269]

Hi,

I send my in 11/26, got an electronic NOA1 on 12/4 and a hard copy of NOA1 on 12/8. So I am waiting for NOA2

From what I've see of many ppl case, the timeline from NOA1 to NOA 2 is about 3 months. How did you get your NOA2 in only 4 days?? That's amazingly fast, what kind of magic dust did u sprinkle on your 129f form LOL.

We just got lucky I guess! I am happy to share what we included if you want to hear however

Welcome aboard, so you're December filers then..... Last touched of mine was in 11/21 and nothing ever since. I guess we will be expecting something in February or so. Hang in there, I know how you feel.

Well they received it on the 28th of Nov so I'm counting that hahahahaha

At least you're one of the lucky ones who were routed to CSC! I'm not trying to sound jealous (I'm actually happy someone is getting quick-ish service), but be happy you aren't stuck for 5-6 months waiting for your NOA2 at TSC

Interesting article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2014/12/08/why-congress-cant-stop-a-federal-hiring-blitz-tied-to-obamas-immigration-actions/

Very interesting.... Hopefully they will hire people NOW and that'll help with with filers in the pipeline NOW. Cause his "plan" doesn't kick in for a while from my understanding..

How's your trip going?

Hi KristinD,

Check out Igor's list. It really helped (to me) track how progress was going.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Just looked, a lot of the people on there that got approved "fast" are really filers at CSC and write TSC as their center booo, it's okay I preemptively wrote my congressman and district rep, can't hurt.

For the relationship evidence we included about 12 photos spanning our relationship, we aimed to choose photos showing us doing things as opposed to selfies if that makes sense, for example, a trip to the zoo, a summer party with his family etc. Then we included scans of my passport with entry/exit stamps, plane ticket booking confirmations for all of our visits to one and another, our work contracts from the camp we worked at from the summer we met and our reviews from a travel website we had used (staying in people's spare rooms whilst travelling, the reviews all referred to us as a couple in a positive way). We did not include any kind of chat log or call history.

Not sure if the fact that I have had three summer J1 visas in the past also helped us, as the US government must have a fair amount of info on me from them.

There's a no tell with them then by looking at their processing time. Some November got their approval too and saw their Noa1 was in 11/13. I called and I don't think I will anymore to talk to those agent. Because they gave me the same information I can find on the website... Sign

I had all that, but I also include chat log so it was kind of thick. My whole package was about 3/4 inch thick without the 13 photos . How thick was ur package?

Hmm didn't think to measure it

Probably about half an inch? If not less? I am so rubbish at measurements though it could have been ten inches thick and I wouldn't have noticed! (No rude jokes please folks )

everyone's been quiet today! Hope everyone is having a good day, and hopefully we've had some movements in cases

Thanks everyone! I am in LAX now waiting for my connecting flight. Was a breeze coming in- because I have an ESTA and have entered on this passport before I was allowed to use the passport scanning machines that USC's use and then the interview guy just wanted to see my return ticket home. Took less than five mins! No other questions or anything unusual! (My POE was LAX)

Wow Congrats!
