Sooo frustrating. We're Aug 11th NOA1 and May 4th wedding (which we already moved out once). I have venue and photographer on a 2mth notice clause so if not approved with progress by end of Feb then we have to push to late July. 😢

sounds like us we planned for early June but are waiting for Feb to know whether we have to move things

Best of luck!

Hello all!

We filed late August 2017. Has anyone gotten their NOA2?

it's an agonizing wait...

Hi! Nope, they (USCIS) haven't formally started August yet. Let's hope for the best this week. 

[Kim & Zak 195]

179 days today.. and if our timeline isn't lying to us, we'll get some sort of notice when my fiance is visiting in Feb!! Here's hoping.... We're currently prepping for a potential RFE  

[Tom Do 24]

175 days for me. I wish I could ignore this frustration counting and focus on something else, but I couldn't

Hello August fillers and my good people of the visa of love! Hitting the 174 days and starting to get my hopes high again after reading the past scans at this forum! 

 

Now my my mind is just thinking that this wait is almost over! Hope NVC get back on track and within the 2 weeks of processing time! 

 Let’s keep the good thoughts and not think about RFE our any delays people... great days are coming with our loved ones

Love this post and all your positivity! Day 172 for me and excited for the weeks and months ahead- really feel like the finishing line is almost in sight!

On a positive note...our estimated timeline moved back 2 days to Feb 24-28th. Let's cross those fingers and toes that we're on our way!!! I've got a wedding booked and don't intend to move it!! ❤

Hi everyone!  August 14th filers here! We're almost there people!  I read these emails every day and am thankful for you all for sharing of your knowledge, skills, experiences, time and hearts.  

 

I already scanned back over this entire thread but I'm over thinking myself, trying to stay ahead of the ball and now have gotten confused. lol  Is there a timeline or something to show the documents needed and in what order?  Like what do we need to have ready and when?    (i.e. I-134/tax/income/sponsorship, DS 160, I 485, I 693, etc.)

 

Thanks so much!

Wow you're going ahead too much  

 

i-134 and financial at interview and ds160 will be done online to set the interview etc.

 

the rest has nothing to do with k1, I485 is for AOS. If you want to know details about that. Google "visajourney AOS k1" you'll find the step by step guide for that.

[LLT 22]

ugh, thanks Naes, I knew I was spinning...lol  

 

So the only thing that needs to be submitted online before the interview is the DS 160?

 

And the beneficiary will submit the I-134 along with supporting documents (tax returns, pay stubs, employment letters, etc.) at the interview?

 

That's it?

Exactly. Form wise those are it.

 

Other than that; some proof for ongoing relationship, like if you guys met after the petition any evidence of that and some recent chat history or call history.

 

i would also add a new-updated letter of intent signed with the recent date from the petitioner. 

 

And other than these it would depend on the embassy.

Yiikes! I'm Aug. 24 NOA1 and I moved my wedding from July 28 to Sept. 29. I feel SO much better!

My fiancé and I are currently living together abroad in a country near his home country so we can jump over to his interview when the time comes. Of course, we're both super anxious to get to the U.S. ASAP, but one thing that has helped a lot is that we just adopted a dog!! We actually found her in a bus station. She's the sweetest little stress reliever and we've spent the last few days only thinking about her. She already has a pet passport and all of her shots. Immigration (except for dog immigration) hasn't come up in conversation once. 

 

tl;dr If you have the chance, spend some time with animals because they are the ultimate healers.

 

Oh and we finally bought our save the dates last week so that's exciting!
