Don't know maybe you have said somewhere but do you know the total amount of applications for fiance visa in November? Also What website do you run your scans on?

The total amount is literally listed 6 posts above yours - it's 3,579, and the scans have been explained ad naseum.

I'm almost positive you asked about this scanning before and I explained it was all data from the old website, and there are apps available you can download to scan in batches of 500, just search USCIS Case Tracker in whatever app store you prefer based on your phone.

It is highly country specific. 

 

The first part about address change is correct for any embassy. 

If you have an address change and your embassy is sending packet 3 by post, then you need to contact them to change the address. (In Japan postal services are extremely well and forwarding system works perfectly with 1 day delay. So trying to contact embassy actually delays the process. so it was not necessary)

 

If your embassy does not send anything by mail, you can correct the address on ds-160 and interview appointment. As sending the passport and the packet will be the only time they will need this.

It's my fiancé (petitioner) who is moving not me (beneficiary).

So the only remaining documents that will get sent to him now is anything NVC related. 

 

And I already gave them my own email address tonight when I received the NVC case# to have on file to have any further correspondence from NVC sent to me via email as well as him. 

So all we are really waiting for is the notice to set up the interview which he will get (usually) both by email and snail mail, right. 

That will surely get there before he moves. 

I'm just concerned about afterwards...

For petitioner, there is no other documents coming after NOA2. NVC only send emails.

That's what I thought...but regarding the original post....

Do you think it would be wise to notify the embassy if the petitioner moves before my interview but after I have input my US residence on the DS160....ie they may question me during interview where i will be living but it will have changed.

 

OR perhaps even moves after my interview?

My concern THEN is that the info in my Visa packet won't match my final destination so if I'm questioned at POE where I will be living it won't be the same as to what my Visa packet says.

Both scenarios concern me...

It is unnecessary for a K1.

 

If it was CR1 as that is connected to a Green Card you should inform them. However for a K1, you can inform all the changes when you're applying for AOS. Until then you are basically a tourist with the legal grounds to apply for adjustment.

Okay thanks hunny.

I was just concerned at POE if they would think it's fishy that my address where I would be staying if they asked didn't match the info in my Visa packet. 

All good. Thanks for the clear headedness as usual❤

Morning All,

 

For those that their cases are approaching past the usual processing times. I found the following site that explains exactly how to complain.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume1-PartA-Chapter6.html

 

Or text version below.. Remember guys we have paid for a service and they are not delivering a service. So you have every right to complain remember that USCIS is funded entirely by Fee payers i.e applicants like you and I ladies and gentlemen.

 

How to submit a Complaint

 

A. Submitting Complaints [1]
Customers may file a complaint with USCIS in several ways:

 

Make a complaint while in a USCIS office by asking to speak to a supervisor

In these situations, a supervisor must be made available to the customer within a reasonable amount of time. The supervisor should take the customer’s name and information about the nature of the complaint. The supervisor should attempt to resolve the issue prior to the customer leaving the office, if possible. 

Submit a written complaint by mail

Written complaints may include handwritten letters, emails, or faxes. [2] 

Contact the Office of Inspector General (OIG) directly [3] 

Contact information for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) OIG can be found on both the USCIS website and on the DHS website. OIG contact information must also be displayed in a public area, visible to customers, in every USCIS field office. 

 

File a complaint with USCIS Headquarters (HQ)

HQ contact information is provided on USCIS’ website. If the complaint is directed to the wrong directorate or program office, the complaint must be forwarded to the appropriate HQ entity. 

 

Ask to speak to a call center supervisor

If a customer is unhappy with the service he or she received during a call to the USCIS Contact Center, the customer may ask to speak to a supervisor. [4] Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 customer service representatives must transfer the call to a supervisor.

B. Complaints Received
Customers should not be expected to know where to first submit a complaint or how to elevate a complaint if they feel that their issue has not been adequately addressed. Under no circumstances should a customer’s complaint be dismissed or disregarded because the customer did not follow the proper process for filing a complaint. All complaints received must be handled appropriately. 

 

All complaints should be responded to either by providing a written response to the customer, calling the customer to address the complaint, or verbally addressing the complaint with the customer in situations where the customer submits his or her complaint in person. The response should explain steps taken to resolve the issue. In cases where the complaint cannot be resolved in a reasonable time, the response should acknowledge the receipt of the complaint, when a resolution is expected, and any additional action the customer should take. 

 

Applicants with complaints about being victimized by a person engaged in the unauthorized practice of immigration law (UPIL) should be directed to USCIS’ website where they can find state-by-state reporting information as well as information on how to report UPIL to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

 

Good luck and hope everyone's approvals come soon.

May I ask a question. 

If let's say we just want to give USCIS a call and ask for some information, is there any requirement saying only the petitioner could contact instead of beneficiary?

Only the petitioner can call. Because it belongs to them. If the beneficiary is with them, they can give the phone to beneficiary after reaching uscis.

Same question:

 

It happens to a lot of people and cbp doesn’t care. Just like you can change the hotel you’re staying which you wrote in ds-160 when getting a tourist visa or esta etc.

 

basically unless you have a petition with uscis, it is not important however after AOS, both you, petitioner and any other sponsor you have will have to inform them. As they will sign a law binding sponsorship paper for 10 years. And you’ll be an alien.

Out of curiosity, why does everyone block out the numbers on their case number?

 

It's just a number that isn't associated with anything sensitive. Am I missing something?? 

 

Just had to ask since it's baffling my mind....

 

NOA1 - Nov 8th New Site

Very annoying. I’m really not supposed to say but I work in their lockbox facility and we have 3 days to key the work out. We get work on our end done pretty quickly. For instance, yesterday some were asked if they wanted to go home because we had low work, of course I stayed. The delay comes from their service centers and it just seems like they’re understaffed

Oha, so we have almost an insider here
