URGENTLY NEEDED SOME HELP

Thank you for the reply. My fiance have a previous conviction but it doesn't apply with all conviction that's in the application form that we submitted. There's question there about criminal history about certain category. But his past doesn't match with any Of them. That's why we didn't say or wrote anything about it. Could that be the reason on why we got transferred?

I really don't know, sorry. I said before that what I (and others) have noticed about cases that get transferred to VSC it does usually seem to have something to do with IMBRA-- either the type of site you met on, or legal past of the petitioner or anything that someone might thinks warrants a second look. But that is NOT necessarily true, just an observation. And even it if is---it's not a bad thing! It's just a second look, the worst thing that means right now is a bit more time to your timeline. For all we know, they randomly pull a few out of the pile and transfer to VSC to train new people and it's the luck of the draw.

Take another look at pages 2 and 3 of the instructions for I-129f and see if the expanded definitions fit your fiance's past convictions. Even if it does, it's not a "no" for the visa, it's just a waiver needed. Or, again, it could be nothing.

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

Thank yo for the reply. We already did read the instruction before we filed the I-129F last May. That is why we both know that his past doesn't fall with any categories in the instruction. That is also why we didn't mentioned or wrote them down. Also we met in an online gaming site so it doesn't fall in IMBRA too that's why we checked "NO" for that matter. We are actually buying that idea that maybe, just maybe, they are trying to look further more about his past conviction. I just hope and pray that it won't be too long before we hear from them again. In Jesus name it would be nice if its an approval and not RFE. This is so stressful and its killing me. :cry::cry::cry:
