I have a question for everyone here, I returned to the country from visiting my fiancée in Colombia and started working a month ago. Unfortunately the job is not going well and I'm considering making a switch, but I'm concerned that a switch will affect my ability to prove that I can solely support her, especially being that my recent job history is limited. Will the US Embassy in Bogota consider time on the job as a significant factor on form I-134? Or should I not be concerned since time until NOA2 has been delayed and a switch won't be as detrimental to our case?

Maybe you get the employer's statement from your current job and then submit it with the same statement from your future employer to show that even if you switched jobs, your employment is consistent.

Hello May filers. This is my first post. I wanted to share some information with the community regarding some stuff I have read in the forums. 

 

I received my NOA1 on May 16th and immediately filed an expedite request (extreme financial hardship) the following day. Long story short, I will lose my job if I had to take off from work anytime after august 31 due to a critical year long project.  My expedite request has not been denied nor approved according to the USCIS people. given the long delay, I assume that my request will be denied and I have been looking for another job.

 

I later read somewhere that making expedite requests causes further delays because denied expedite requests cause the whole 129f petition to go back to the start of the queue. I called USCIS and was connected to a Tier 2 officer, who informed me that all applications go by the notice date. I am not sure if I should take this bit of information with a grain of salt or not. 

 

I hope that this prolong the NOA2 wait any further. As of now, VJ timelines puts us at around September 15th.  Has anyone else heard or know anything about the effect expedite requests may have on a 129f petition?

To my understanding it doesn't matter if you file an expedite request or not, your case remains in que. It only gets moved if the expedite is approved, if not, it continues in line for normal processing.

Hi Matiela,
I am also a K1 visa May (26) filer. My fiancee is in Argentina his name is Carlos. I am from Argentina but I became US citizen about 16 years ago, I am Claudia. I also got a case number from WAC like you guys.... I hope both our processes go well, wish you all best of luck!    

Heyyy welcome! We're visiting Dani's (the USC) father in Germany and will be here for a couple months, so we won't be checking this forum that often now. I just read like 10 pages! anyway all the best for you too, I'm sure everything will go well if a little slow (last time I had checked the timeline predicted august, now it's predicting september and there's been all this talk of delayed processing... eh, it's frustrating but not surprising)

 

I'm Matias BTW

I agree....my little pina is the most caring, loving, sexy woman I have ever met!!! Please come NOA2...it is so frustrating that they cannot visit the USA for vacation without a huge hassle, visa, and probable denial. Have not seen her since April when we got engaged but we video chat daily which helps....good luck people!

Same here.  Got engaged in Subic on April 13.  Since things are a little slower than anticipated I am going back to see them at the end of August.  I have never experienced a more loving and kind people.  My future asawa has taught me that while I thought I was in love, i never was until she and her kids came into my life.  We video chat and text everyday.  Her two teenagers even contact me everyday.  It is so wonderful and so easy.  We are 9000 miles apart but it feels like we are right next to each other.  C'mon NOA2!!!  I want to give her kids their first White Christmas...
