Hi all,

I am an August filer from Japan and just wanted to say hi to all. Now we are just waiting for noa2.

Aaron, I think your fiance should know what she supposed to bring for the interview. The package she has received should include the check list. Also, the Embassy of the US in Japan website might help :

Good luck!

thanks for the reply 55_buckeyes!

Man.. i wish we were back in the day when you could have everything handled by the Embassy in Japan. A few of my other buddies did it this way, and they all tell me how easy and pain free it was!

Hi everyone! How are you doing? It has been 85th day since my fiance sent I-129F. Ahhh, I cannot stand it anymore. It is super crazy to wait this long and I have to wait more now. I really hope that I can marry my fiance in March. Anyone has any updates?

Hello Japanese filers!

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is action being taken at the California USCIS. My filing date for our I-130 was June 11th.

We had our first “Touch” on Wednesday night (Oct 17th) at about 7:30 PM and were approved by 11:30 PM the same night. It looks like they are working overtime to get things moving.

My wife and I are now starting our journey at the NVC. It took over 4 months for us at the USCIS California office and I believe that is about the average length. I am hoping that it will only take about 3 months for NVC.

I know that it is hard to wait because I was checking the USCIS website at least 10-20 times a day because I was impatient; I know it will happen for you!

I wish everyone luck and I hope that the USCIS moves fast for you!

NVC bound…..

You might be in for a wait for your petition to get sent to NVC. My fiance and I were approved the 25th and I still haven't gotten word that our case was sent to NVC. Congrats on the approval though. One step closer to being back together!

Are you waiting on written confirmation or did you call the NVC to ask?

Just called NVC today and they got us into the system yesterday. From others on the forum and myself I would estimate it is about a month between NO2 at CSC to NVC... although it seems like they are pretty quick to get the petitions to the embassies.

Konnichiwa Aaron and all Japanese filers,

I am just curious but what is RFE trick? How much it would speed up the process? I have seen many people mention RFE trick here, and was always wondering...

I hope your fiancee will get the visa soon!

Hello Japanese filers!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the NVC received our documents on Monday the 29th. It only took them about two weeks to get them.

I was surprised because I thought it would take longer.

Hope the rest of the process is this fast!

Hello fellow Japanese filers!

I am still filling out paperwork as my fiancee gathers a few more documents and I've run into a question. How did you enter Japanese addresses into your G-325A and I-129F forms? My fiancee is from Tokyo and I am having a hard time fitting the Japanese addresses into the forms. Did you just add a sheet with this information?

Thank you and good luck everyone!!

Hello Tim!

I am afraid that I use the full version of Adobe so I was able to adjust the field sizes.

I have heard of others putting this information on a separate sheet of paper. They clearly indicated which section/item the information pertained to.

Good luck!

I was lucky that my fiance's address was small enough to fit easily. Although her father took her mother's last name when they got married so that created a bit of confusion.

RFE trick won't speed up the process at all. The only thing it will do is allow you to talk to someone at the Service center where your petition was sent. Most likely, they will just tell you that your case hasn't been assigned. It seems that once the cases hit a desk, they move pretty fast. I would recommend being patient and watching when other filers around you get approved, that should give you a better idea when your time is coming!

Good luck!
