I'm getting all my information from this government website and it explains the steps needed after UCIS approves your petition... Am I wrong? It tells you step by step and paying fees etc...

Hi

it might have been already answered but I'll add it anyway.

 

k1 is not an immigrant visa, and it stays in the NVC only a few days for them to send papers to your embassy and give you a case number.

 

you don't send anything to the NVC at any stage. Good luck!

Day 140 and it is draaaggging on for me probably because my fiancé just left on the 3rd to go back to the UK. Also wanted to share this...apply for your social security numbers BEFORE getting married. I know others have said this but I just spoke to another K1 couple who got married September 2017. The husband (benificiary) applies for the number after marriage and they turned him away because his status was married and not fiancé (what he entered on) now he can’t be put on her insurance, get his license, etc and they’re on day 150 of waiting for his work permit. She didn’t say if that’s because of the ss# problem but I imagine it is. Just wanted to share this with others so they don’t make that mistake. 🙂

I was actually wondering this exact thing... thanks for sharing! its super important

Hello everyone! I am new to this October group because I thought I was a November filer since my fiancé received the letter of NOA1 on Nov. 2nd.. AND I just realized that the date he received NOA1 is NOT our NOA1 date.. haha

I am still trying to figure out what is our actual NOA1 date though.. I researched about that here on VJ, but it just got me more confused as well as the "help" thingie you see next to NOA 1 date when you try to update/edit your timeline. (Link: http://www.visajourney.com/images/noa-date.jpg)

 

As this link says, NOA1 date is your "Notice Date" which is Oct. 31st, 2017 in my case. But some people say that NOA1 date is your "Received Date" which is Oct. 27th, 2017 in my case. Which one is it?? lol I already changed my timeline as I hoped NOA1 date is my Received Date so that the processing estimate will be sooner.. haha But I would like to know the correct one so that when they start working on October filers, I have some sense of my cases when people post scans here!:)

 

October 25, 2017: My fiancé sent I-129F to USCIS

October 27, 2017: Received Date (on NOA1 and also on the USCIS website)

October 31, 2017: Notice Date (on NOA1)

November 2, 2017: My fiancé received NOA1

Notice date is your noa date, but we are arranging scans based on received date.

 

and in the end it doesn't matter much so you can follow both

Hi everyone. I’m October 13th filer. I’m all excited now since they’re going to start on October petitions real soon but my application for certificate of good conduct is stated failed. I have a record 3 years ago. Is that why my application for the certificate is failed? If that’s so, what am I supposed to do since I’m going to need the certificate for interview?

Hello All, 

 

Since we are fast approaching our approvals (G*d willing) I wanted to know if you all started to prepare for the embassy interview.  Mainly, my question is:  I have completed I134 and have a letter from my employer already as well as 2017 tax returns.  Should I send my fiancee these things now so he can have them instead of waiting for approval and then having to mail them overseas?  I will sign my i134 with wet signature and he can date it.  Thoughts?

Is anyone else planning on going to their fiance's country to bring the paperwork?  That's what we have been planning so far and since nobody has mentioned that i wonder, anyone anticipate any problems with doing that?  Its getting so close, can't wait for all of us to be back with our loved ones so soon!

I don't really know, but I've seen in the other months where they advise filling the documents immediately after NOA2. Maybe, it's about dates.

I went in February and dropped off the paperwork. I signed a few pages for the affidavit with different dates, April 1st (a girl can dream), may, June and July. Same with letter of intent. Only thing he is missing is the NOA2. I was planning on just bringing everything to the interview but he is in Cuba and they have a document check in Havana before they go to the appointment in Colombia. Yes, his interview is in a 3rd country, which he needs a visa to get to as well. It's a mess, especially because the Colombian embassy in Havana is overwhelmed and won't accept a visa petition more than 10 days before your appointment. I need wine, lots of wine. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Nothing wrong with doing that. My fiancé is coming this weekend also bringing the paperwork.. it's like an excuse to see each other
