Comments :

Visa Journey helped me find an error on the AOS in February 2015. In March 2015 I was also able to help my spouse get the correct birth records required by NVC by reading the Nigerian thread on Visa Journey.

April 2, 2015- Case is in Supervisor Review because the DS260 form was sent electronically January 6, 2015 but hasn't been reviewed as of yet.

April 17, 2015- I finally have the 3rd N/A next to the Affidavit of Support fee. I spoke to a supervisor yesterday (Thursday). She told me she would have the case reviewed by the end of the week. It looks like she kept her word. I will call again tonight to confirm case complete :)

April 17, 2015- CONFIRMED CASE COMPLETE

June 18, 2015- Interview

July 01 , 2015- CEAC Status Shows Issued

July 03, 2015- Welcome to USA!!!

Hello, My name is Natz. My fiancé is from Michigan. We filed K1 last March 23, got noa1 email last March 27. When the USCIS sent the noa1 hardcopy, the post office in Kalkaska, Michigan declared it as undelivered to home address and returned to USCIS. The documents and case was on hold processing now. We submit change of address. Hoping we hear from USCIS on April 29, when they will resend the noa1 hardcopy.
