March 2018 I-129f Filers

[Roxy and Emmy 43]

RFE sent and received by USCIS so really keeping fingers crossed.  Hope we get NOA2 really soon 😅

hello everyone,

 

i would just like to update everyone on our status. so today when i called nvc they just created a case number for us. the lady said now they will send our petition to ciudad juarez. will i also get something in my email or the mail?

 

thanks for always helping and answering my questions.

I probably should've asked about this before submitting the i-129f. I received an RFE for answering yes to the "Have you ever been arrested, cited..." question. They want police records. I answered yes because my parents were fined $50 when I broke curfew at age 16. The RFE says that my "criminal conviction will be provided to the beneficiary", but it wasn't even a criminal conviction. So I'll have to let her know when I talk with her next time. 

 

I wanted to avoid getting my application denied by including more detail, but now I feel like I shouldn't have mentioned it at all.

This process is not taken lightly by USCIS. You misrepresent the truth and you are DENIED and with a possibility of being BANNED. I'm sure you want neither. ALWAYS tell the truth and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

Here go and read this topic as the outcome could mirror your outcome:

 

I failed to mention a 30 year old misdemeanor arrest that was dropped and later expunged.  It was my fault and partially the fault of the company we used to help with the petition.  The governments instructions were very clear.  The company we used was not as clear as they should have been.  Since there are no public records and no possibility of me getting any information, I assumed it was no longer an impediment.  The expungement ordered all records, digital and hard, to be destroyed.  There was no record that I could produce so I failed to add it to the petition.  That was my mistake and we were denied because of the petitioner failing to disclose information in the petition.

I guess she pertains in the new process in the USEM now that needs for the Status to be “Ready” til they can schedule an interview appointment and book her medical which is also a great safe side for them TBH.

I did a little more investigation on this topic and you were right. The changes are now permanent that were only talked about just recently. I have changed my instructions for USEM in the Philippines to reflect those changes. Thank you for the heads up.

Yes it’s the new, because I watched some videos in YouTube about the K1 Visa process experienced that they need the NVC letter or the case status is already READY for paying the visa fee ,specially here in Philippines.

 

If you received the NVC letter through mail or email, do a photocopies because they will get that copies for paying the visa and also for medical and just in case, 

 

And if your case status is already READY you can print out that too if you can’t wait for your hard copy of NVC or through email. That’s what I watched and asked the K1 Visa processer experienced. 

Here is the entire help section for the Philippines with links.

 

Once you receive your case number and your case has been set to READY at CEAC it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get done. To smooth that trail for you I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

You'll need your Eligibility Letter, which is emailed from USEM. Here is an example of what it looks like http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/embassy-letter.html

 

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 complete 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 is 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.

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

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

Ah ok. So you’ll be getting an email(don’t forget to give your email address to NVC) notification as soon as they forwarded your case to your local embassy.

233 total; 21 since RFE response for us. They keep telling me it will take up to 60 days from receiving the response to get an action. Tier1 submitted an "outside of processing time request" for us last week  in which we got an email that said it will take up to 45 days for an action. So basically 60 days. No choice but to wait it out.

 

Asking my congressmen is not an option since I live in the good ol' red as can be state of Texas; our congressmen will have no interest in helping a gay couple with immigration. 🙄
