I dont really know, but I think it just means look at my file because it's out of processing time

 

Our service request started with T1S, let me know if yours does too and maybe you can ask how can we check this service request status? Or how long theyll have to answer us and how will we know the answer. This whole thing is a mess

"T1S" is a Tier I request.  I had a few of those.  When a Tier II does the request it starts with "WKD".  An online request is "SR". Don't ask me how I know...I collect those numbers!

Hey everybody, hoping lots of you get approvals today!! 

 

I had a few quick questions regarding RFE's. I recently mailed in my RFE and usps tracking shows that it was delivered yesterday morning. Does anybody know how long it takes for CIS to notify you that they received your RFE? (or do they not notify you?) Also has anybody in our July group gotten an approval after sending in their RFE? How long did it take? 

 

Thanks guys

Yes.  Once you get NOA2 the beneficiary can contact NVC.

@Naes has a super helpful link on her signature which is what I used. I will post it in my signature as well when I get home.  I recommend getting your vaccinations sorted and your affidavit of support and financial evidence sorted.

How can I get to her signature?

First thing now is that your file needs to reach NVC. You can ring NVC to get your NVC number and start the embassy process, here in Brazil we need to fill out a DS-160 form and schedule doctors appointment (foreign fiance may need to take some shots, so check it), and interview appointment.

 

For the interview, you need to gather supporting docs for Affidavit of Support, check the K1 fiance guide, they give examples and foreign fiance needs to receive the form signed (original) and also bring a package the embassy sends and a copy (if you have) of all your filled paperwork.

 

Good luck!

Should the petitioner call or the beneficiary?

this is @Naes signature, you can only see from computer not mobiles and from what ppl wrote here, either one can ring NVC, petitioner or beneficiary:

Hi everyone! 

 

I am an another long time lurker on this forum. We are july 19th filers and have obviously been glued to the case tracker app and have been following the link to view our case online every day since....

 

My fiancé was downloading the affidavit of support forms and was prompted to log in to the my.uscis.gov website which says we were approved on the 7th February! 

 

As excited as we are, I am a bit confused because the app and website were never updated and we haven't received an email, letter or any other update other than that page. Is this normal?? Or has anyone else had this experience?

They have stopped consistently updating online, sending out text and / or email notifications. Example: We are already working on packet 3 (July 20 NOA1 / January 27 NOA2) and our case still hasn't been updated online lol it is still "Case was Received."

 

Several rumors have been posted as to why.... to speed up processing times, to throw database scanning apps off, etc.

Hi Guys, 

My name is James i am new to this forum, i have just discovered that there is a section for july 2017 I-129F filers (cant believe i did not get onto this sooner!!)

I am an Australian male with a fiancè and son in Wisconsin patiently awaiting my arrival.  

The whole visa situation is a bit of a grey area for me, so ill try my best.

We filed our I-129F in early July 2017 and our case was received on July 17 by USCIS.

 

We have not heard anything since then. Are there many people in our situation? has anyone been approved yet? 

Also how much longer can we expect to wait until i can be in America with my family?(just so we can mentally prepare ourselves) we were hoping to be together by now another two months will be extremely hard on us, as i imagine it would be on anyone else waiting for approval. 

 

many thanks!!!

 

James.

 

My case was received on 7/21 and I still have not heard anything either...stressful!!

 

Updated 2/15/18

 

I just received NOA2 approval today in the mail. Everyone was right...my status online and on apps still show received...so the are just mailing them. Mine was approved 2/12 and received 2/15. I'm really hoping the other July filers receive the same good news very soon as I know the waiting is really difficult.
