November K1 filers

[andymack 19]

I got my packet 4! Yay!!! Andy, did you get yours?

It says I have to call them since I made an account before they updated their website. That's annoying, I just want to book my interview!!

Ahhhh amazing!!!

I haven't gotten mine yet, but it seems like I am not the only one waiting on Montreal right now so that's comforting at least.

So exciting that some from our groups have now had their medicals and next step is the interview!! So happy for you all! My fiancé and I are in a bit of a unique situation. We never expected for the visa to go through so quickly. We are both very thankful for it up to this point, but before submitting our K-1 we were under the impression that it would take anywhere from 5-8 months for it to all be done. We got our NOA2 in December and the London embassy now has our case. My fiancé has received the letter with the case number and stating they received it. We tried to call and set up his medical appointment. But then only book appointments one month in advance. Josh, my fiancé, is planning to move here in September because that was the goal date with our original thinking of the "5-8 months". And he wants to be able to have enough money to help support us plus saying goodbye to family, friends, etc. So he wont be moving here til the end of September. So we are drawing the process out a little book and looking to book his medical for the first week of April. Then 6 months to use the visa, he'll move at the end of September. Just wanted to put this all out there and see if anyone was in a similar situation. I wish everyone the best of luck going forward with the process!

Awesome!! We don't even have our packet 3 lol!

Congrats! You're nearly there!!!

Did you received your packet 3 already? Montreal I think is just way too slow! It's killing me lol!

Well I just phoned NVC (beneficiary) as apparently they can tell you your interview date, and they were happy to talk to me (some people say only the petitioner can phone them at this stage). However, they said our interview has not been scheduled yet

Pretty much I'm on a similar situation.. We were also expecting the K1 process to take 5 months.. My interview is already set on February. I even set the latest possible date Hopefully it gets approved but I still have to wait until I finish and graduate on April 7.

We're in a similar situation too, and I feel bad talking about it on this board because so many people have been waiting so long! I was supposed to stay here until the end of June, we expected it to take that long. Now I'm looking at moving in early April if I can get my interview scheduled for before then. Luckily it will be fine for me to leave my job before my contract is up in June.

We got our NOA2 yesterday! So relieved and happy. I wish that our petition hadn't been held up the extra week and a half because of an error on USCIS's part, but all in all considering how fast they approved it once the RFE got back to them, I can't really complain.

Hi! My fiancé looked into the medical stuff a bit more and found this information:

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-693instr.pdf

It looks like for the AOS there is a huge list of vaccines and I'm wondering, do we need all of those for AOS? If so, shouldn't the beneficiaries be working on that now before they get to their medical? Is there some kind of exemption based on where you're immigrating from?

I feel bad as well but when we applied, we really was expecting the worst case scenario - visa taking up lots of time.. but this actually goes by fast. I hope everything will fall into their right places for you!

Nope, I need them all even from Canada. I live 2 hours away from my US fiance.... It's silly.

I'm working on them already since even before I got my packet 4.

Oh My! All of those?

[Rhaenerys 16]

I can't actually see that list, the link isnt working, but there's like 12-15 that I need. But I have most of them, we get them all as kids. I might need a booster or two, so I went and got the antibodies test to see what I'm deficient on.
