I didn't see a topic started for March 2015 filers, so I figured I would get it started.

This is my second time around filing a K-1. First time was for my now ex-wife from Vietnam. I filed pre-9/11 amd things were a little different back then. Marriage ended in divorce back in 2013 and although there was not a happy ending, it produced two wonderful daughters and even though things did not work out, I would do it again if I knoew I would have two great kids.

Fast forward a few years....

I met my fiancee' online in 2012 and after two years flew to The Philppines last year in June to meet her. I proposed and she said yes. Medical issues with her mom and dad have delayed us filing but now we are ready to go.

I sent the documents in on Monday, March 2nd and USPS tracking shows it will arrive in Dallas today. Although we want to be together as soon as possible and miss each other, we are patient and will allow the process to take as long as it takes. I've been watching timelines for CSC and NOA2 have been processing quickly, so perhaps we will be lucky.

Our packet included more that what was actually required at initial filing. She has her police clearance already, CENOMAR and other docs not yet needed. I spent ten years in insurance underwrting and looked at thousands of applications over that time. A key thing to remember when submitting documents of this sort is to think of it from the underwriter's viewpoint. If there is a question they may ask, provide additional documentation that answers that question. RFE's suck and don't assume they will know answers to any questions they may have. Over documentation is better than under documentation - but don't get crazy. :)

In July it will be three years of knowing each other. We have proof from day one. Over 2000 pages of Facebook chat alone, YM chats, Viber chats, etc. Proof of sending money by Moneygram, photos of us together in Makati, airline tickets, boarding passes, condo payment from AirBNB, credit card reciepts from shopping in Manila and more.

From here, its just a process and patience....

Am I the only March 2015 filer? Seems weird its 9 days into the month and no other March filings

Sent app in on Monday 3/2 by USPS Priority Mail. I watched tracking and it should have arrived at the Post office on Wednesday 3/4. It got stuck at the Dallas soft facility and took until Friday to get delivered. Hoping to get some sort of acknowledgement like a cashed check soon. Also, lookig to possibly get NOA1 by week's end. Fingers crossed. :-)

Please sign your Timeline to CSC.

You only send your petition to the Texas Lockbox, this one has nothing to do with the TSC.

Best,

Uli

I got the same text messages and emails today. So I feel better now and will just let the process run it course now. I think you got your email and text sooner than I did because you didn't get the snafu at the Dallas sort facility delaying delivery by two days

It will be interesting to see how and if apps dated the same run a parallel course during the process.

@ hsgx2 - being from Yemen, you may be able to qualify for an expedite, do you think?

I am honestly not sure. Embassy there is closed. He is going through Malaysia because he's currently residing there as a student.

Ours filed in California but when we saw in USPS confirmation it delivered in Dallas TX. March 10, 2015. What does it mean?

Dallas (actually Lewisville) is the lockbox and where the central location for applications are filed. They then route to the appropriate Service Center for processing. If you are from California, it will likely get routed from there to the CSC
