I-129F October 2016 Filers (merged thread)

[LostRonin 22]

Looking like the next available interview date for us is not until the end of March. Everything has been moving much quicker than I expected, never thought this would be the point we'd have a long wait.

Yikes! That's quite a wait. I know of a couple here who interviewed in Laos instead of Thailand in order to get an earlier date. Not sure if that's an option for you or not.

Our interview is tomorrow, Jan. 17, Moscow, so we will know soon!

Hi LostRonin, are K-1's in Thailand scheduled on-line as well?

You might consider calling them to ask for an earlier interview slot. 

I've seen this happen in Manila many times.

If you are planning to be there with her for the interview you could ad that to your reason but they still might schedule outside of what it shows available on-line.

Worth a shot unless you don't mind March.

Only B1/B2's are scheduled online in Bangkok. (I can't speak for Chiang Mai.) K1's are always scheduled by the embassy.

I'm Vietnam, not sure about Thailand, but they are online in Vietnam. She just checked again and now it's showing dates available in February. I told her to just keep checking to see if even earlier dates pop up lol.

Well, Lana had the interview this morning, actual interview was 20 minutes with questions pertaining to her work history.  They did not say yes or no, nor did they request additional information.  They did take her passport and said they would have an anwser in 1 or 2 wks.  Additionally, this was the same response provided to 3 other girls waiting.  Not sure what to say:(

Milliron, I sent you a PM. Please, look at your mail box.

I was wondering how many October filers here are still waiting for their NOA2 and did not get an RFE?

 

How many October filers got an RFE and are still waiting for their NOA2?

Nowrya , I was literally coming to this thread to ask that EXACT same question.

I just checked 10/28 receipt date and no approvals since January 3rd - 2 weeks ago today

The app does show 55 approved

45 RFD

and 32 unworked

That seems odd. What is the current CEAC status?

I've been thinking about why don't they say "approved" or not approved why keep it a big freaking secret?

Only thing I can think is that in the past they will say "denied" then the lady might cry, scream or worse. I'm sure it's happened.

If they take passport and don't say denied and don't give 221g then I think that is positive.

 

Time will tell

Checked our reciept date 10/18 this morning.

 

7 cases didn't get either NOA2 or RFE, still sitting untouched.

 

8 cases did get RFE and didn't respond yet.

 

9 cases got RFE, responded, no NOA2 yet.

 

1 case got a denial January 17. 

 

Honestly, that doesn't look promissing to me...

Hopefully they check yours soon, it seems like they follow up on RFEs.

 

I got this "real-time update" on my USCIS APP, in the morning today (I'm in Vietnam right on Android). It's saying a case similar to mine got an RFE. But the date applied of the case is from April 14, 2016. It took 9 months just to get an RFE and they are saying it is similar to mine... ?

 

I worry because I was honest and said I met my fiancée on Tinder. And the USCIS people are thinking they won't review it for a long time assuming our relationship won't last. Am I being paranoid and thinking about it too much? Why would they leave a small percentage of cases go for months before checking them? I don't believe that they are continually getting miss placed for months.

 

I know it's only been 92 days but I just keep hoping for any news soon.
