It will take a month or more for the letter to arrive in the US if it does ever arrive. The "wet" signature for a letter of intent is not necessary. Scanned copies for USCIS is OK from beneficiary. But, beneficiary needs to submit original's at the interview.

 

I've said it before that the agency's and lawyers do not know what they are doing. Stop using the agent, as it is causing you unnecessary delays in this process. You can get all your information here on VJ especially in the sub-forum for the Philippines.

No mystery. The background checks are done on everyone and all have different backgrounds and come from country's with different political views from the USA. The process is very entailed. Much of it we don't know. They are doing background checks on the two of you, not just you and not just the petitioner.

 

https://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/privacy/privacy_pia_uscis_ibbcs.pdf

 

As part of its benefits adjudication process and as required by law, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts background checks on petitioners and applicants who seek certain immigration benefits. These background checks consist of four separate checks against systems within Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In order to facilitate the collection and transmission of information necessary to complete background check processes, USCIS maintains five information technology electronic systems: the Fingerprint Masthead Notification System (FMNS), the Customer Identity Capture System (CICS), the FD-258 Tracking System - Mainframe (FD-258 MF), the Benefits Biometrics Support System (BBSS), and the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) Manifest. USCIS is conducting this privacy impact assessment (PIA) because FMNS, CICS, FD-258 MF, BBSS, and IBIS Manifest collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (PII). This PIA replaces the previously published USCIS PIA for the "Background Check Service (BCS)" which describes planned background check-related systems that were never implemented. Upon publication of this PIA, the BCS PIA will be retired.

Was asked to put together the numbers for June, so I figured I'd do one more pass at May while I'm at it...

Currently for May I-129F/CSC timelines here, we've got 136 unapproved (20 with RFEs listed), and 193 approved. So ~58.7% approved, and 64.7% with some action taken (and recorded on their timeline).

 

Good luck to those of you still waiting for NOA2. Hope you can move on to waiting on NVC and waiting for an interview soon.

i dont know how much that has to do with it or maybe it depends on what the records consist of (misdemeanor vs felony/ how old they are/ etc). I have a record from when i was young and stupid and it didn't hold it up any. i included the most recent court disposition cause i had it, but not the others. I did include a letter addressing the issues in my past, and relating the conversation paul and I had about it, so maybe that made a difference.

 

There really is no rhyme or reason, it seems sometimes. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you sarge ((((hugs))))

 

1) lawyers tend to cause more problems than they are worth. If you can read and follow instructions and are detail oriented, this is not complicated. read read read and read more on here. read things you dont think apply. Retain all that information. if in question about anything, ask before submitting.

2) for the initial K1 you do not need to provide financials. Your parents can co sponsor if needed at the time of interview and for AOS

3) no

thank you so much for the response.. 

 

ok last question and its been killing me, because i am so stressed about this

My gf (born in india) who has been living in the UK for the last 12 years or so, overstayed in the UK for about 4 years back in 2008 because the lawyer misinformed them about renewing their visa.... 

 

when we file the fiance visa for her to move to the US, will they hold this against her? 

I don't know why it would because us filing a k1 indicates she is trying to move out of london and come to America. 

any advice or feedback?
