February Filers!

[rebex05 1]

I emailed NVC and it took about a week to get a response from them (actually just received e-mail back today), basically just giving me my new case number and saying they would contact me when it is sent to the consulate. I tried calling and no luck, but will keep trying either around 7am or 9pm EST. Oh and when and if you do e-mail them I was told to give them your USCIS receipt number, names and birthdates of you and beneficiary. I think that was it. Good luck to all of us!!!

And I thought we were the last ones. This is SO incredibly frustrating.

I had to reinstall my computers OS, Windows Xp a few weeks ago......and i've just noticed that I have lost ALL of my archived yahoo and skype messages and call records. As my fiance and I didn't even know about the K1 process until january we didn't think about saving stuff....so he didn't even have the archive option on. So we have lost the bulk of our on going relationship evidence. Of course, we still have actual mobile/cell and home phone records, a few emails, letters etc...but now i'm worried they wont be enough. Anyone else have this sort of problem?

ACK!!!!

I'm so sorry you lost all your stuff!

I have not had that problem but it sounds terrible. Can you begin archiving all that you do from now until the interview? Do you have any additional plans to see each other?

I'm sure you'll figure it out and you'll be just fine.....but still! Blasted technology!

I am a computer moron, but I learned a bit last week when my hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall everything.

Some things that I didn't expect (and was happy to see) made it into my backup folder. Any luck there?

Regardless, it sounds like you have plenty of evidence.

Yeah we have archived everything since I had to reinstall...and will continue to do so...plus backing it on to disk..just to be extra careful!! lol Hopefully, I will have enough money to fund another trip to the USA in a few months time...Lord willing! Fingers crossed it will be enough to get us through the interview!!

I didn't mean to imply that you NEED to visit each other again. If you are planning a trip great, but I agree that it looks like you have a good deal of evidence without it.

Good Luck!

Sadly, I had to delete the whole of my old OS before reinstalling as it was totally messed up. So no chance of using the backup folder route. But yeah, I think we have a good amount of evidence without it...and will, of course, continue to add to it.

Has anyone who is at the NVC stage actually get contacted when your petition reached there? What about when they mailed it to the appropriate embassy?

Is it necessary to call/email them to be sure all of this is on track? If so, what is an appropriate amount of time to wait before calling/emailing them?

[GabachaYucateca 0]

I called NVC because I was procrastinating at work and didn't expect to get through. I was only on hold for about 3 minutes, and she asked for my case number and the petitoner's info, confirmed my phone #, and told me they had sent it today. Doesn't seem like a big deal to call, and it was very quick.

I said, "Great, so now I can start harassing the consulate!" and she told me to give them a break for a while. At least a couple of weeks.

[JandC 0]

Oh, I didn't think you implied that at all, Sue. Sorry if thats how it looked. I am planning another trip to USA...though I think ya'll are right...what we have already will be enough. Always nice to have more to make ya feel comfortable though!

Good luck to you too, Sue! I see you are nearly there!

I was never contacted by them when it arrived. A week after the NOA2 arrived snail mail I emailed NVC (March 8).

Below is the email I sent them (you fill in the blanks) There may be more info than needed, but i got a response back today (March 13) The NVC RE# was in the subject line of the email. See below below...hehe.

I don't think I would have received an email otherwise. They are supposed to send a snail mail confirmation I think...but it hasn't reached my address in the states yet.

Hope this helps

Hello,

I was hoping I could find out if my I-129F (K-1)petition has been forwarded from VSC to the NVC at this time. I would also like to know the NVC case number attached to this case and the expected date it will be sent to the Barbados Embassy.

Thank you for your time.

Ok Ryza, let's start at the beginning. I'm assuming that you are filing for a fiance.

Have you filed your I-129F with the USCIS in your region in the States?

You won't need to worry about financial support until further down the road when the foreign fiance goes to an interview at an Embassy near them.

When it is time to file for financial support, it is possible to use a co-sponsor if you do not make enough money yourself.

Let us know where you are at. Filling out your timeline will help us help you.

My heart is truly breaking for you guys that are still waiting. This waiting for the next step is truly maddening! I'm sending all the good vibes I can!! May your road get straighter and your load less heavy (and may it happen FAST!!!)

Just a side note to the other Feb. Filers..can we keep in touch as to our progress as we travel together? Any packet 3's already in the midst of us??

We're all gonna make it, I just know it!!

~Kim

I think this is a great idea, it's been helpful to me to have an idea of how things were progressing for other petitioners in my same time frame. Of course, it'd be even better if I actually had something to report!

I got an email back from NVC today that told me my petition was forwarded to the Barbados Embassy on March 6!

We are well on our way.

I hope things continue to go so smoothly, and that things go smoothly for everyone else also!

Sue

That's great, Sue! That was quick. Wow, next comes packet 3. Does the Barbados Embassy have both packet 3 and packet 4?
