on the most recent review, apparently the interview is supposed to be booked as a non-immigrant visa. I think I booked mine as an Immigrant visa! This is confusing. How do you know which type it is booked as?! Can anybody from Canada help @PR&PR  @eastcoastgroove

Whoops sorry I quoted the wrong person above.  See my post above.

Hey guys.  Just checking in.  NOA1 sent 3/13, received 3/16.   Still haven't heard anything.

 

In case someone is out there from those early dates still waiting, you still have waiting buddies.

So... No NOA2 today BUT... an email from my senator:

I just received the below response from the California Service Center after making an inquiry on your behalf. They report that your case has been APPROVED and is being sent to the National Visa Center for further processing. Let me know if you have any questions!

 

 

 

Thank you for your August 04, 2017, inquiry on behalf of your constituent, XXXXX, regarding the I-129F petition filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).  In receipt of your inquiry, a thorough review was completed on your constituent’s case.  USCIS records show the following:

 

 

 

       -  The California Service Center approved the referenced I129F petition on August 11, 2017, an approval will be sent to the petitioners address of record.  The petition will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. 

 

 

 

Since USCIS records can confirm that the case will be sent to the NVC (in approximately 2-3 weeks), USCIS will no longer have jurisdiction over the approved I-129F petition. Please address all further inquiries to the NVC. The NVC can be contacted at:...

 

So now the big question -- did the inquiry trigger the approval? We'll never know. I'd still advise doing it if you're still waiting.

 

 

Yay!! That's awesome!! Same exact thing that happened to me, so I'm thinking the inquiry has to prompt them to pull the case and approve it! I'm glad Mr. 'E' was able to help us both! hehe.

I can't remember exactly what I did as I can't sign up again but I just went as far as that and I believe I chose the option The mentioned a k visa and then the next step is signing up and there is mention at the top of an immigrant visa.  I saw that post too and was like 🤔🤔🤔🤔.  It sounds like something was wrong from the beginning though as her interview was scheduled for her and she rescheduled to Wednesday bc she saw that's what day kvisas should be.  It also seems like she didn't pay beforehand.  For me it made me pay first and also only gave me wednesdays as options. There is an option under kvisa that says immigrant... Maybe she picked that??  ***Sorry quoted the wrong post**** @Nathan&Amy

I'm pretty sure this is what happened for us, too. The interview is definitely on a Wednesday. @Nathan&Amy maybe e-mail consulate to make sure you are okay given your interview is on the 6th?

Thank you! Yes this seems like what I did as well... and it would only let me choose Wednesdays and I paid online. I also called the Montreal consulate just now and a guy there confirmed everything looks correct for my appointment. But he said that "yes you booked it under the correct class - K Visa", he didn't say anything about booking it on the correct site (immigrant vs. Non-immigrant) so I will probably worry until September 6 arrives sigh

Back to the discussing re getting the SSN, I'm a bit confused about this. Why is the SSN a requirement for a marriage certificate? Suppose this was flipped around and an American was marrying a Canadian and moving up here to live in Canada, but the wedding was in the American's city... they would get their marriage certificate there but the Canadian citizen wouldn't have an SSN as they wouldn't be ever moving to the US. Same as if any 2 random ppl went to the US for a destination wedding, which must happen all the time, they must be able to get a marriage certificate without the SSN.

That varies widely. I am not getting my SSN til after marriage because I am changing my name. Google the county and state you are getting married in most of this is found online.  This is what it states for the El Paso County in Colorado which is where we will be married:

 

Social Security Numbers Social Security Numbers ARE required on marriage license applications (C.R.S. 14-14-113). If a party does not have a Social Security Number, the Affidavit Concerning Social Security Numbermust be completed and submitted at time of application for a marriage license.  It may be signed and notarized in advance or signed in front of the Deputy County Clerk at time of application.

It sounds like you should be good. If you have an e-mail confirmation like the one attached, you should be doubly good! I will report back on Wednesday after her interview!

[gob332 420]

@Nathan&Amy So this is the screen shot from when my fiance scheduled her interview. This seems pretty straight forward to me and feel like if K visas needed to select the Immigrant Visa option, there would be wayyyy more mix ups.

 

**Edit - it looks like the person in the review booked an immigrant visa instead of a K-1 Visa interview. Do your confirmation e-mails say k-visa?

I am not too sure...Sorry, this is a bit confusing as a K1-visa is non-immigrant with immigrant purpose. You could always call the embassy and they most likely could tell you if it's right or not and adjust it in their system.

I told him as much.

 

It's more than a little suspicious that we both wait forever, and then get our NOA2s within a week of having "E" contact USCIS.

 

Thank god he's one of the ones that takes his job seriously, I had a sinking feeling when he said "let me check the USCIS web site," but he clearly was doing that to establish the site was out of date and thus justify the inquiry. Whatever he did, yay him! I can only hope others get someone as conscientious when they call their representatives.

hello!

guys, i need your advice , maybe I missed the posts related to this topic:

In march , when we applied for the k1 , me-beneficiary- i put down my address in the UAE where i used to live at that time; now I no longer live over there , shall we inform NVC about the change of address of beneficiary ? we got the noa2 on the 8th of August, we don't have yet an NVC number. shall we call them now and inform about this address change , shall we call the Embassy in Romania?
