Good Afternoon my name is Ronise I’m not a member of VJ but by following you guys I was able to survive this journey. I write this  to encourage you and because I am a September filler.

Congrats! Do you mind saying whether you got approved or an RFE?

Nothing on the app.  Checked status online and saw this:  August 7 NOA 1 date.

On March 1, 2018, we approved your Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Receipt Number WACXXXXXXXX12. 

 

Check that, 5 minutes after posting this, the App buzzed.  Status updated.

For anyone curious or in similar circumstances.  I required a waiver to file for Grace's visa.  I'm a multiple visa filer.  This was my 4th petition approved.  Various circumstances impacted that history, of course, and I never anticipated I'd take the plunge again.  Grace made me rethink that.  We had no RFE, no issues.  My visa packet was very lean, including all the required documents but nothing extra.  Well, I did attach a 2 page waiver request.  That was a requirement previously, before the form was updated.

 

So, lean petition package, waiver required, past fiance processing, and no problems.  YYMV of course, but it was my 4th very straightforward process.

 

I used visajourney for the 3rd and 4th filing, but didn't find it prior to mailing my first 2 petitions.  Definitely helpful, but also generally a DIY process.

 

Best of luck to everyone else in your journey.

This is my third filing - did not need a waiver - yet.  Already know and am ready to be scrutinized.  I/We have nothing to hide.  Hoping that we get some news soon.

This brings me some relief.  I'm a November filer, and this is 3rd and last petition!  Relationship ended after NOA2 on the first (no interview scheduled, no visa issued), second resulted in my 4 year marriage to my now ex-wife.  I have been told my circumstances shouldn't be too much of a problem but still the closer we get to our time I am getting very nervous and will feel sooooo guilty if there are issues because of my past.  Thank you for this post and good luck with the rest of your journey!!

You should have filed a multiple filer waiver with your petition.  It's needed for anyone submitting their 2nd within the last 2 years or if you've ever submitted more than 2.

Only filed a i130 & K1. This is the 2nd k1. Should I need a waiver then I’m already prepared. It was my understanding that I did not need one since I was past the two year mark. I’ll look into that again. Thanks

I do recall that at the time of my last husbands interview they asked for my first husbands visa and another document which I emailed directly to the embassy. We were notified two days later to come and pickup my fiancé’s visa. Entry was simple. 

 

My circumstances were enough to throw in the towel as well but I couldn’t stop what I felt for the now fiancé. We met many years ago and lost contact. Believe me I was not wanting to be hurt again and neither was he. What we found in each other was nothing we have ever experienced and no matter what we will fight until the end. I’m not going to stop seeing him nor fighting for what we believe in. Uscis will scrutinize this relationship and we are ready for whatever comes our way. We know the risks and we are ready to face everything together. We already are aware that this is in their hands and we won’t cry over spilt milk. We just keep doing whatever it takes no matter how long it takes. It’s in God’s hands not ours

Thank you everyone for sharing their stories. That gives me hope.

Ahh, ok, yeah I think you're ok then.  Might be a grey area though.  Good you're prepared just in case.  I'm in somewhat of the same situation.  Best of luck to you!

Is that normal for all those RFEs? Why is there so many? Worries me a little.
