November 2014 Filers - Texas Service Center

I do! I pass it every day! You should let me know when you're in the area!

I'm trying to get Peter to visit in February too. I want him to be able to experience a little bit of my pregnancy at least (I have an ultrasound set for a day in Feb ) If he does visit, all he needs is just a return flight and he should be okay, right??

I'm sorry visiting is so difficult, I can only imagine. I'm sure that isn't a cheap trip at all! Hopefully Turkey does work out!

Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm about 99% sure that I will be making a trip to Morocco now in February. Just need to get the thumbs up from my boss. It's a little more pricey, but a couple extra hundred dollars in my lifetime won't matter.

I'll definitely let you know when I'm in the area. I know no one in real life that is experiencing this journey, so it would be nice to meet someone in person

Seeing that your fiancé is from Ireland, he should just need a return flight. Pretty sure Ireland's in the visa waiver program, as I never needed a visa when I visited Ireland.

Hey guys! Just wanted to share an update on our NOA2, we actually got it today in the mail (with a notice date of 12/23/14). It was ridiculously fast, it went through TSC and we had a turn around period of just over 30 days! We were very surprised to get it so soon, we were expecting it to show up around February or March.

December filer here.. reading your post is a breath of fresh air to me on such a "fast" noa2

i hope we get a similar turnaround

i can only keep praying

They were fast because it's the Phillippines sorry to get your hope up.

Thank God someone else said it I always feel bad when I tell people their application only went through quickly because of the expedition of Philippines petitions.

hahahaha I know, it's super annoying, glad everyone from CSC is getting quick approvals but it's definitly depressing.

I'm going to guess it will just because they are a citizen. Not sure they look to see if they are working somewhere else because if their home base is the Phillippines then they would be expidited.

Yes. The chances are very likely that the NOA2 would come in 1-2 months after the NOA1.

From what I understand, petitions for beneficiaries in the Philippines are expedited because of the typhoon in 2013.

Hi! Welcome to the group Unfortunately all you can do is just wait for a request for evidence (RFE) or the approved NOA2. Here's the link to the K1 guide (http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide) and it will tell you what to do after your fiance receives the NOA2.

The current standard wait for TSC is 5 months, so all any of us can do right now is wait until April for our cases to be touched. You could always start compiling some of the information you need, but the Moroccan embassy is pretty strict and will only take certificates (birth, police, court, certificate of singlehood) that are issued within three months of your interview date. I'm starting to put together the information needed for the affidavit of support and am creating a binder that has proof of our relationship (skype logs, facebook chats, passport stamps, itineraries, etc.) since Morocco is a high fraud country. The more evidence we show that we have a bonafide relationship the better.

I know it's tough to wait, but April will be here soon enough. Feel free to contact me if you need any help. There are about 4 or 5 of us November K1 filers who are either from Morocco or have Moroccan fiances
