WE HAVE FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!

WE ARE APPROVED!!

 

Just got the notice in the mail, Was approved May 12th, Arrived today May 18th.

 

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes... For those still waiting, your next, and in our prayers too!  “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
― Winston S. Churchill, Never Give In! The Best of Winston Churchill's Speeches

 

While time and doubt can be our enemies.... Keep the faith to what is right! 

We work hard to get our fiances and put our hearts and lives into this k1-Visa dream.

It can happen to each of us, if we just "Never give in........"

 

 

Congrats Roger & Grace!

Does The Embassy  schedule the interview?

 

It depends on the embassy, some assign you an interview date, others allow you to select from a calendar of available dates. 

[Jon & Malen 97]

Cenomar has been processed and the message when I checked was " No marriage records found for this person." Now that it is done just waiting for the packet to arrive so we can go get the Singapore police clearance. Baby steps. Things are moving pretty fast now. Wishing everyone luck! Jon & Malen

How long is  everyone finding it takes to have your visa come up on CEAC? 

 

We got our number on Thursday and as of now, whenever I type in the number on immigrant case search "No records are found".

 

could this because they haven't posted it onto my embassy yet? Or it's likely that maybe by Monday evening it will have got itself into the system? 

 

Last anxious part until I know it's in transit

It may just be a delay with entering cases into the system. Mine showed up the day after we got got our case number. First status shown was "At NVC" then it quickly changed to "In transit" the following day.

Congrats! Hope the medical goes well for you! Keep us updated!

Hey, everyone. As you may have read above, due to the fact that the scanner is almost not working at all now and the margin of error is very high, I will now be running the scans weekly instead of daily. I feel it would actually cause more confusion than good to post every day, but I want to at least post something rather than nothing. If/when the scanner is fixed, I can go back to posting daily scans for December if they're still needed. More details can be read above in a conversation with Geowrian.

 

So here is the first WEEKLY scan:

Congrats to both of you😇😇😇

[Roger & Grace 198]

OK we are finally approved!! YES!!  And thank you all for the kind well wishes too! 

 

Grace is going to complete the process in Hong Kong where she has lived/worked for like nine years.

 

My question is this, after she gets her k1 visa in her hands in HK.... Can she go home to visit her parents for a week in the Philippines before flying to the USA flying out of the Philippines? 

 

I feel for her in that who knows when she might see her parents, it might be years or something... they are getting older too.  We do plan to go back to the Philippines to visit after a few years,  but who knows 100% anything in the future?   

 

We we certainly do NOT want to start over In the Philippines, (there are extra classes in the Philippines like CFO and things move like pond water slow..)  

 

Any past experiences or rules?  I have no clue. Just looking into it now.  I do know she has  a set time after getting the k-1 visa to fly here to be with me in the USA,  or the fiancé k1 visa is invalid. 

 

Anyone know the rules? 

[carloolive 68]

Ok stressing out!

 

Got case number on Thursday night but still nothing on CEAC tracker :/

I'm afraid not. I spoke with someone from CSC on Weds who just basically gave me the run around, saying they still had Nov posted  their processing time, same old story. I did finally get a contact at our congressman's office that I will be messaging directly.  

Try calling again and ask for a tier 2 officer. When I did that I was able to check on my particular case. I just got my approval, inthe mail only, no change on my USCIS tracker, god luck!

[nealreal1 69]

Got my approval! PPHHEEEWWWW! Biggest relief of my life! Received the letter on 20th, but was approved on the 12th. My USCIS tracker never changed!! You just have to wait for hard copy in mail, or call and ask for tier 2 officer to possibly get any real information.

I have met the most sincere people on this site, and heard the most profound stories of Love. All the people on this site are deserving of quicker atention, but it comes eventually, and beelive me the feeling is amazing, I got my first god nights sleep in ages!! Thank you DBMATHIS, GEO, AKES and everyone that has helped make this process easier, and Good Luck to all that are still waiting, it will happen!!

The visa is valid for 4 or 6 months after it is issued. Once she does not travel anywhere that is considered a U.S. port of entry prior to when she intends to come to be with you, she should be fine to travel. The caveat of the K-1 visa is that it is valid for only one entry to the U.S. (not multiple entry like a visitor visa) but it does not prevent you from traveling elsewhere in the world before then! Hope this helps
