Congrats to all who have received USCIS or NVC updates! I arrived here in the US 2 weeks ago, got married, updated my SSN and filed for AOS already. I cannot wait to put all the paperwork behind me for a while!

We got married on Friday. It was sunny in Seattle for once.     I am busy with AOS stuff. Is it really $1,140 application fee? Ouch!!!  Can anyone provide a good step by step on what to submit. I don't want to screw this up. #1 I have the I-485.  #2 765(application for employment). #3 Application for Travel document. #4 Do we need to re-submit Affadavit of Support again? #5 G325a (more plastic bags ) #6 certified copy of marriage cert. #7  Copy of birth cert. #8  cover letter

That we must put in the last name of the I485 surname of married or single

Hello All,

 

I am an October 28th filer who has yet to receive his NOA2 (I had an RFE December 2nd which I responded to 3 days after receiving it and they acknowledged its receipt December 9th online). However I see from the website that they are currently processing those that filed October 15th 2016 so I am confident that by the 30th of March I should be receiving it online at least. The waiting is horrible. I have literally been checking the site everyday. I just downloaded the USCIS case status app today and I am grateful for this forum for letting me know about it. Are there others like me who are still waiting with an RFE on file??? Would be nice to know I am not alone....or am I????

You are not alone, I filed October 4, 2016, RFE in November and have been waiting since December 8th when they received my packet back. I did file an inquiry for case out of normal processing time on the uscis website and the response I got was my case is on a hold due to security checks. The waiting does suck and my fiance just wants us to be together now. There is no time table for us to be approved, it could come in a week or can come in a year..there is just no telling how long we have to wait. Good luck to you and your fiance, I hope we both get good news sooner than later!!!

Fiancee is in her interview now at the Mumbai Embassy....just waiting for the good news........

[JGUnion 10]

Not quite approved the visa...fiancée called and said they wanted a little more info to verify everything. She is printing everything out to return to the Embassy directly and they said they would approve it. Ahhhh!!!!!!!

As an update for our timeline, successfully entered the US with my fiancee on the K1 visa at the beginning of this month and we are now married  Visajourney was very useful for demystifying the whole process, thanks all!

Congratulations to everyone that has made it!!! my best wishes those who are still in the process.

Fiancee had her interview...it ended up lasting a couple hours I felt so bad I wasn't there. She ended up getting a good cop/ bad cop scenario, but it seemed like they were satisfied except for a couple of details that they gave her in writing. The lead officer said that the requested documents will be coming to his hand. So along with her passport, my fiancée turned in the requested evidence. ustraveldocs site says, "Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery." I understand this isn't anything to be excited about, so we will be patient!

It has been 177 days since USCIS received my i-129f application and still no word on NOA2. RFE was received in December and I replied it in 2 days. In 3 days It will be 180 days (6 months). I intend to submit a case inquiry the next day and at the same time go to Senator Ted Cruz's office to submit a letter of complaint about the processing time. This is BS. I am pissed off!!!

It's actually $1225 since you'll roll the $85 biometric fee and the $1140 app fee into a single check. Check the K1 AOS guide on this site for details on K1-specific steps. Yes, you need to submit an I-864 (different from the I-134 you originally submitted when your fiancee went for his/her interview.)
