Same. Mine gained 6 days. :unsure:

Mine also gained six days on the new website (Jan 12 -> Jan 18) BUT when i called customer service about another matter, they quoted Jan 12 as the receipt date so it would seem what is on your NOA1 letter is what is in their system.

Hi Guys, Since we are nearing NOA2. Quick question on I-134. I'm so confused.

1. Is he(my fiance) going to fill this up and send to USCIS? 

2. If yes, is he going to receive something from USCIS?

3. If no, is he just going to fill this up then send a copy to me? or the original one?

 

Thanks!!

We have found that the K-1 instructions here on VJ are sometimes outdated or don't have all the information that is required. Find that to be true for Manila. Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get down. To smooth that trail for your I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

 

http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

 

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

 

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.

1. Is he(my fiance) going to fill this up and send to USCIS? He is going to complete it and along with a number of other documents will send to you for the interview. (See my earlier post with all that is needed for the interview-requirements are there for Manila)

2. If yes, is he going to receive something from USCIS? He can complete the I-134 just after you get your case number. That should give you enough time to gather everything that is required for the I-134 like employment letter, W2's, 2017 IRS tax transcripts etc.

3. If no, is he just going to fill this up then send a copy to me? or the original one? He will complete and scan and email it to you for you to print (free) or he can put all in a FedEx envelope and for $75.00 send to you for the interview. Your choice.

 

Thanks!!

Hope this helped clarify your questions. Follow the links I gave you and just about everything is spelled out there what needs to be done.

This is one of Naes' graphs depicting all the numbers for January. It does seem like a longgg month and it felt like one too. 1/12 is indeed the day with the most applications.

I have not been able to find much on AD but here is what I have https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-AE/niv. You should go to your sub-forum website here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/97-middle-east-and-north-africa/ and here is a recent thread for some who are processing a K-1 and their recent experience (see below). Also, more info here from your portal http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=United. I hope this helps.
