Well, I just checked the online status update for my K1 visa and IT WAS APPROVED TODAY!!! 

 

I sent the additional evidence maybe a week ago, and it was approved today and the status was updated. I'm expecting the hardcopy in the mail maybe early next week if it's coming from the west coast. 

 

Funny, I check three times today, and the last time was the charm.

 

Wow, I'm hoping Keith and Monica, who had almost identical dates to us and also had RFE got the same good news

So, for those of us who were so focused on getting the NOA2 that we never thought to plan for what happens afterwards....

 

I recall the next step is to call the National Visa Center in a week or so to get your number, which will allow us to track it as it makes its way to the embassy?

I just got a text notification that an RFE was mailed to me today. 

 

NOA1 4-13

88080

 

I am very happy to finally receive some notification that my application has been acknowledged and reviewed and we only have fix whatever they think needs fixing to move forward.  

 

I know it's a bit of a bizarre reaction to be so chuffed about this, and I of course would have been more gleeful if it was an approval, but frankly as an applicant you start worrying that somehow your file got lost at the bottom of a box in someone's desk.

 

Knowing that it's been touched and moving forward is such a fantastic feeling!

Saying congrats, all things considered, is probably a little bit too much, but I'm glad you've got news and your case has been touched :)

As usual, let's hope for a quick arrival of that letter and an easy fix. Any idea of what can that be about? Always good to plan ahead :yes:

Not sure what it could be, I'm hoping it's a box that needs to be ticked off that was overlooked as we sent a lot of pictures and plane ticket copies and copies of texts between us with dates.  But, if it's not that then there are a few things I could add to the file.

1) copies of every page of our passports with all the entry stamps 

2) copies of his minor children's tickets and passport stamps (they came to meet and greet my children and we went on a road trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas as a family).

3) my name is hyphenated from a previous marriage.  People mess around with the hyphen and the two names all the time so I have a bunch of aliases that I did not create but were made by organisations because some computer systems don't have a "hyphen" and drop the hyphen and add a space or remove the space between my two names.  I wonder if that might have caused a glitch.

4) more picture and proof.  Lol, I love our pictures as a couple and a family.  I could spend all day sharing my photo album and details with them!  

 

I'll keep you all posted.

Hi everyone! I am from the Philippines and been following this thread for a while. We received an RFE notification from the tracker. We have a guess that it might be because we missed to answer Part 3 line #2 if my fiancé has been convicted; or might be because on my fiancé's statement, he only mentioned that we've been chatting on Skype for more than a year before we personally met and didn't elaborate that we initially met on a dating site and switched right away on Skype. Like everyone with RFEs, praying for an easy fix.
