[Jose&Jeff 126]

I'm at a point where I don't like weekends anymore 😛

 

Congratulations to all that were approved. May the next week bring more good news.

[ArianneAidenver 7]

Noa 1- march 1

noa 2- sept 7

 

finally case was approved.

 

next step now is the nvc phase. I have a question regarding the police certificate in the netherlands. I resided there for a year. But i read some thread that NL don’t issue PC. Interview for k1 needs the PC in any country where you resided for more than 6 months. Did any of you had the same situation as mine?

Hi all,

 

We had a little error to fix in our file and therefore called to see if our letter with the correction had arrived.

 

Did anyone else get a strange info from the tier 2 that K-1 fiance visa now will take 12-18 months?

Nobody has touched our file yet, tier 2 said.

Our NOA1 is March 26 old site, March 29th new site.

 

It was just very strange, I was wondering if she was confusing with another petition, but she had our file open and knew we were applying for the i129F K1 fiance visa.

We were a little bit shocked because we were expecting an approval in beginning of October. And she told us, that this is gonna be a very long wait and that the fiance petitions have slowed down extremely.

 

It does not make sense, because I see the 6-7,5 months approvals here all the time... ??

 

Did anyone get the same info?

 

 

 

 

 

Hello. Im super shocked about what you said. If you had an error on your file. You can just send a letter trying to fix the error? Really? Do you need to ask permission? How does it really works?

😊 It was posted a couple pages back. The new website requires a registration sign in & from there you'll input your receipt number 🙂

Thank you 👍🏼

Police Clearance from the Netherlands

Once you receive your case number 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.

 

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.

Congratulations!

 

Keep in mind that a forum like this one is for initial bonding with others who are along the same timeline as you for initial processing. The initial application is the same no matter where in the world you are. But, having said that, once you get your approval (NOA2 text message or email), you should also check in with your country's sub-forum to get a better understanding of the process for the Embassy that you will be interviewing with, and to get direct answers from those who have completed the steps you are about to at the US Embassy - Juarez Mexico.

Get the Juarez K1 Embassy instructions at http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/K1/CDJ%20-%20Ciudad%20Juarez.pdf (Spanish) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cBWgGJr4a5ay3b4OV28_dC3pgf63ZUr-/view?usp=sharing (English) as this is your bible needed to complete and receive your visa. The required documents are included and use the this website as a check list. Once you have completed or gathered the required documents you'll be ready for your interview.

 

Last but not least, READ the pages on the US Embassy website for you country so that you are up to speed.

Ya!! we too... its a really long process, and for being honest sometimes I'm just getting stressed out lol...but for now we just can wait. 

Do you know exactly step by step after NOA2? How long it can take after this for having the interview?

 

Hugs everyone! 

 

Here is information for "step by step". The length of time depends on the Embassy.

 

I don't have a Packet 3 letter that has all the requirements for your upcoming interview but what I have I will share below. Once you get in touch with your Embassy and the send you the P3 letter with all the requirements if would be so kind and share a copy with me then I can use it to help others in the future. Thanks.

I just got approved old site and email.  3-8 old date 3-12 new date. Approved 9-7.  1 day less than 6 months for the old date.  Just thought i would let everyone know because i was down with very few approvals the last couple of days.  

Congratulations! Here is some links and information about EC and what is next after your case number is assigned. I do not have the P3 letter from your country but when you do receive a copy can you share it with me? I use it to help others who come behind you. Just contact me here on VJ with a PM. I hope this information is of some help. Thanks.

Find others from your country:

There are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them. Also, there is another place you can go and follow others who are processing the same time you are and for the same Embassy. Go to the blue ribbon at the top of this page and select "portals". Scroll down the left-hand side of the page till you get to VJ "your country's name" Timelines. Just below it you'll see "K-1" so you select it and out pops a window with others from your country.
