we successfully changes the adress on June 16th. We never received any hard copies so hopefully that is the document that was returned to USCIS. Sent the request, hopefully it won't be too long till they mail the document ☺ thank you

Just thought I would add my .000027852 cents here.

My petition was approved tonight at 7:31pm. I sent my petition April 27th. It was received April 29th. I even received the text and email on April 29th saying received. BUT... On the paper they sent which is the 797 or 794 I dont quite remember... Anyways that paper said "Received April 19th" but it also said "Notice date May 3rd". So I believe that to be NOA1. I also think a lot of people in the late April filers used their "received date" dates as the NOA1 date. Which kinda throws everyone off by a few days. So in my opinion USCIS is really into May filers now. It took me 69 days so all you early May filers should see something very soon. I wouldnt be suprised if the late April filers celebrating on the April thread really should be over here celebrating. Lol

Hey,

Congrats this waiting is killing us I sent my petition May 23. I guess I will be getting an answer next month.

The good thing is that CSC is working faster but they take like a month to send the paper work to the NVC.

I just can not wait I will be travelling to Ecuador and I hope they will let me in for the interview.

Good luck ..!!!

We basically have the same case my fiance got denied 3 times a tourist visa. Now my concern is if this is going to affect the next interview. I don't know if they save all the denied tourist visa applications. that's why I want to be there for the interview. I think that with me in there will be helpful. he put my name in all of them as contact in the US but he didn't put that he is my boyfriend, he put that I am his friend. but I hope that they understand that in my country exist discrimination and we can not tell to everyone that we are together.

You know just thinking about it. Hope is not a big deal .

Totally, i am in the same boat as you, he put my contact information here in US and used my brother's name as his friend..They do ask on the ds160 form(thats the form they need to fill out before the interview) and it asks " have you been denied a USA visa before??" So yes they will be asking about that and I am kinda scared it will affect our k1 visa...

Hi guys! My fiancé was denied a tourist visa twice. We have a lawyer helping us with our K1 and he's already said that that isn't a reason to be denied due to it being a different type of visa (K1 is a family based visa). He told us since my fiancé was denied for them thinking he would overstay his welcome, getting a K1 visa is different since the whole reason is for him to come stay in the US. So it shouldn't affect it :) I hope this gives you some peace of mind! There's a couple things that would make someone inadmissible to the US, but that isn't one of them :)!
