What was the received date for when USCIS received your application at the lockbox? That is the date that is supposed to be used for the timeline. Is the date you use on your timeline the date that your NOA1 notice was sent to you? If you look again at the actual NOA1 notice you received in the mail it will give you a received date for your application and will also give you a date for when the notice was sent.

Happy for you.....   My Fiance' in HK, who is Pinay is a nervous wreck!!! hahahahaha  our time is soon....

Ok need some advice here. I have just read Edric&Setchie post from above concerning the DS-160 and the link he added. When you go to this link, ..https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/family/fiance-k-1.html.... , and start to read it and get to the section, Required Paperwork for the visa, it says police reports from country of residence and from any other countries that have lived in for six months or more since age of 16. My fiancée has worked overseas in Dubai and in Hong Kong. I know that she worked in Dubai for more than six months but not sure if she worked in Hong Kong for more than six months. Does this mean then that she will need to have police reports from those places for when she goes to the Consulate for her visa interview? She will be taking her visa interview in Manila. So any help on this will be greatly appreciated so I can inform her of this matter and she can start to get the ball rolling for police reports from those places. We should be getting our NOA2 notice shortly also.

Thanks

Uscis received my form December 27th, 2017 and I'm still waiting for noa2. Others are already getting approved! Guess it's not completely in order. 

 

If you get a RFE does it show up on the case status too?

Clarification to this post. My fiancée worked and lived in Dubai for 11 months but only was in Hong Kong for 3 months. So based on what is stated in that link for the Required Documents for visa interview she will need a police report from Dubai but will she need a police report from Hong Kong if she was only there for 3 months? Please, some advice on this will be greatly appreciated as we should be getting our NOA2 very shortly and want her to start obtaining the police reports as quickly as possible from these places so she can have everything ready for her visa interview.

 

Thanks

Day 99 now from received date for our application. Should be getting some notice of approval anytime now since they are slowly pecking away at the applications that were received on the day that ours was received. Hoping today will be the day!!!

Our first notice of action (paper document, mailed) states that our "Notice Date" (NOA1) is December 28th and that our "Received Date" is December 20th.

[Chair_force1 195]

Hey fellow Dec folks.  My fiancée and I were looking at the DS 160, under the section of travel , they ask on what date will you travel and ask when to you plan to return.  Obviously for k1 we don't know the date until we receive the visa , and can't put a return date since it's permenant.  Anyone else deal with this yet? In addition, I know we fill out an additional DS 160 for k2 but is the fee the same for a 2 yr old?  Also, any other pointers you have for filling out DS 160 from a K1 perspective?  

[M3chwarrior 63]

Hi all,

 

I just got off the phone with the NVC...They said they received my package this morning, and that it would take about two weeks to process. I didn't get any sort of numbers or barcode...should she have given it to me then, or has it not been done yet, which is what the two weeks is for?

Thanks in advance guys!

[Kevin&Kanyanat 172]

Good afternoon everyone. After 3 days of stress and worry after the NVC telling me  our K1 was in AP prior to going to the embassy I called today and was told it should be shipped out to our embassy rather quickly!  As everyone told me and for those who hear the terrible phrase administrative processing  if you call the nvc and you're told this it is normal. It's their term for they are converting it from a USCIS case to a Dept. of State case. Our Ap was about 4 days.  Thank you so much for those that sent a positive post to my rants and whining and moaning. 

I will say the folks at the nvc you speak with are awesome. Very polite and friendly. I also was overly polite and kissed their ### every time I called. 

She explained the next steps I will have to take and even offered to give me the number for the embassy. She did advise it was up to me to contact the embassy as there is no email for snail mail notification when it is sent to the embassy. Now I don't know if that is unique to all embassies for just Thailand.  Thanks again everyone and I will keep a good thought for those still in the trenches of this process. One step closer to wrapping this up!

Day 100 here.  We are a 12/23 received date so hoping to hear something soon (hoping we ALL hear something soon  ).  We really want to have my fiancé here for my family beach trip the first week of July so we need USCIS to get with it.  I cant even imagine how the November and early December filers that haven't heard back are feeling right now.  Fingers crossed that they all get their approvals soon!!
