November 2017 Filers K1 VISA I-129F (merged)

[Emm2018 81]

Do you guys know if an RFE for proof of meeting within the 2 yr period is considered an easy one? 

 

Does anyone of you had the same RFE? How long did it take the NOA2 to come thru after submitting this RFE?

If you have the evidences, it should be an easy one. As for my fiance, he sent several flight tickets and POE stamps corresponded with his declaration he attached. Our photographs weren't even date-stamped.

Someone I know got this kind of RFE back in October 2017, they get approved after a week. Don't know if it can be compared with this month's timeline tho.

 

Good Luck!

Jay, what was the timeline from noa2? We are going through London.

I got my NOA2 on the 5th March it went to NVC on 16th March I think, then had left the NVC by 23rd March I wasn’t in a big rush to get my number at that point so I didn’t call until the last week in March to get my case number but Im pretty sure I could have called as soon as the 16th they are really friendly at the NVC and helpful. once you have your case number you can book the medical which I advise to do ASAP I called on the 3rd April to book my medical and the earliest I could get was April 25th then I left it a lil while before I booked my interview, but you can check on here https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ as soon as it says ready you can book your interview (I wasn’t in a rush) I booked my interview on 7th April and again the earliest interview I could get was 14th May then I received my visa on the 21st May. If I had been on the ball I could have knocked a few weeks off that timeline I reckon. Hope that helps.  let me know if you want anymore info

My petition I-129F was approved on May 9, NOA2 came in the mail may 14,  I started calling NVC since then every single day, as today has not reached the National Visa Center, the folks over there are telling me the same script   - IT TAKES UP TO 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY RECEIVE - today they added two new lines to the script - IT TAKES UP TO 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY RECEIVE ... BUT WHEN GETS THERE, WILL BE SOMETIME FOR PROCESSING  AND  THINGS GO IN HIGH SPEED.
What should I do in a situation like this?

Mine took about 2weeks to arrive at the NVC and 3weeks before it was sent off to the embassy so don’t worry you are still in that time frame.

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

so how big is the box and how many folders does it have?how it is arranged? 😝 im 196 days waiting

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.
