It seems that they're pretty quick with the turnaround. I just hope they like our responses! Unfortunately ours got stuck in the mail and even though we shipped it on Wed 15 it wasn't received until Monday  It has been changed to received at their end on 21 though so I will wait to see when you get your response. I really hope its soon! I was hoping to be married for christmas in the States but I guess that's out now!

Same here! i completely understand your frustration. When I filed May 4th I thought I would be with my bae by November ( Dec tops) and I think its out of the picture for me too unfortunately. It has been more than a week ( 8 days) since I sent my response and my status hasn't changed online to response received yet. Based on your dates, hopefully my status changes in the next few days. Your post was helpful. Thanks! Hang in there! I am with you!

Still waiting an update for our rfe . 

 

 

Do you have any idea what customer service number if we want to call if they receive the rfe response? It’s been a week since my fiancé sent it to California and we haven’t heard anything yet. 

How many days has it been since you sent it in? I am waiting to and I think there is a delay because of the holidays. My package doesn't have a tracker thanks to my lawyer

 

If the status doesn't change by  Dec.1, I am going to express mail it asap and with the tracker this time. lol.

For rfes they're going to update the status after it reaches them. There were two days they didn't work last week for thanksgiving so it is normal that they didn't get it nor updated it yet.

 

i would wait another week and see if they'll update.

I will hang in there another week too. Fingers crossed magic happens this week.

I hope so too. All the best!!

Thank you!!! 

 

 

My fiance is Canadian and I live in Chicago, IL ( 8 hour drive/1 hour flight  commute) and we have been together for 3 years now seeing each other every 6 weeks or so. In all this time, the distance has never stressed me out as much as it has ever since I filed this application. Being apart seems just unbearable now and I am counting days. My best friends are either single or happily dating. The single ones don't get the anxiety because they are happy I have at least found my special someone as opposed to not having anyone. I'm either crazy or over-analyzing according to them. I had no idea about this site but after finding it, I feel like I am not so crazy. 

 

Thank you guys. I can't wait to get this whole process behind me. Good luck to all of you waiting still Keeping you all in my prayers.

God, how I missed you!!!!

 

Especially today because USCIS case tracker hasn't pushed through any notifications yet. I was starting to think they implemented another Fed/Government Holiday today just so they didn't have to work!

This is exactly what I have been thinking...If we had filed only a month earlier or even WEEKS earlier, most of us would probably be with our partners by now...

Ditto. Knowing that really sucks.. it almost hurts...

It's Been 8 weeks now since NOA2.. 

rang NVC again , still there under AP, can't give time frame to be sent to embassy !

finally broke down in tears asking the operator to please give me a supervisor.

she just said there is no time frame I'm sorry I can't help you .

this is just a horrible experience, so upsetting and frustrating.

That's horrible...Honestly, what the hell is going on with this process? This can't be normal, can it? Australia isn't a high-fraud country so why would AP be taking so long?

All I've been told is they don't deny the visas, all AP is with them is getting all the files in order so the transition to embassy is smooth? 

I just don't understand how it can take so long? 

We had no RFE either, so it's all very confusing .

Ive been in the same job for 18 years, no criminal history , just a normal every day Aussie !

Our anxiety is through the roof, 10 of my family members have booked and paid to fly over in march for our wedding which is pretty much all paid for .. 

I'm starting to panic now.

From the UK website here:

uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/

 

I tried uploading a screenshot of the specific section, but it won't work for some reason. Basically says a background check is:

"Required for all countries where you have lived for 12 or more months since the age of 16, and any country where you have been arrested even if you weren't a resident there."

Thank you 😊 now I'm starting to believe japan will be similar... need to check it then!!
