Hello All,

 

I recently found this sight and wished I knew about it before I filed.  I think my package is complete but definitely not to the extent some of you have prepared.  To Doyle1292, congrats on your speedy appoval!

 

I received my NOA1 on 06/27.  Timeline forecasts Jan 2019 for me.  The long wait begins/continues.  Good luck everyone.

Best advice I can give u. Stay busy!!!!!!!

just over 6 months for myself and looking back it’s been pretty quick. But, I stayed busy doing projects around the house, working, searching for more info, helping friends, (did I mention working?)

dont sit there begging for  approval asap. Most it won’t happen for. A select few will get lucky tho. 

Keep ur heads up and look on the bright side of it all. 

1 day u will look back at this and be like (sh*t, did all the worrying for nothing). Lol

 

good luck Junies👍💪🤪

Absolutely!! I would say even the 60 days have gone fast. I hope I am saying the same thing in December. But absolutely keeping busy, friends, family, dog, and who could forget WORK 80% of my time haha. Love the encouragement, thank you so much!

Thank you! Keep myself busy is the best way for this visa journey! I work and teach girl who replace me, spend time with family and my cat, friends, go to English class, work with personal trainer in gym (I have to have perfect look on the wedding). To be honest I am surprised how fast run these 2 months. I hope next 4 months will run faster! And this waiting worth happy future which we all will get.

Hey y'all
Welcome welcome welcome!!

 

Three things:

1) Don't make any final wedding plans until VOH (Visa on Hand) - We have seen wayyy too many people lose money on wedding deposits.

If you really want a "magical" wedding, you have 6 months from when you do your medical and the 3 months from POE to get married. That's almost 9 months if you really have to. So I promise, it's gonna be fine. 😊

2) Don't compare your case to anyone else's. USCIS will do what it wants to do when it wants to do it. Just because someone got an RFE does not mean you would. Just because someone applied after you, does not mean you will get your approval before them. 

3) Stay calm and stay busy. Remember why you started this process and keep your sight on that.

It will all end before you know it!
And of course, if y'all have any questions, PM me or tag me and I'll try to help!

Thanks so much for the advice! Here 45 days since NOA1, at first I was fighting against the process, Waitting, learning what to do next...Got really depresed as I was working and thinking about the Visa and nothing else.  I was not taking advantage of the situation, I forgot about myself so, started to study by reading books through kindle, I train at the gym everyday, helps me a lot dealing with frustration and stared feeling positive, listening frequences with aromatherapy.

Also, for the ones abroad, enjoy your family, friends and country food and customs, that little things are so important, because then you will not have them everyday. It is better to roll with it, and prepair ourselves for a new life, a great transition.This is also a great test for all of us, we are so fortunate to have someone that loves us deeply to pass through this adventure, true love, support and loyalty it's what we give to eachother, that's also getting ready for marriage ❤

 

Thanks you all! Feels great to share and read your experiences! Remember Junies: If you take care of love, love will take care of you. Good luck! And keep it up 👍

Hey guys, another June filer here 👋

Loved everyone's tips on staying busy, I really feel like I need to stop thinking so much about this!! I'm in the visa-obsessed stage.

May December come soon for all of us 🙏

Find something to get ur mind off the visa. If u don’t u will go nuts before ur time nears. U have minimal 4 more months. About 1/3 of the way thru the waiting period. Use this time to gather things for noa2. Or at least have a plan in place to get things done in a timely matter.

Thank you so much for your advice. It really helped me realize 4 months is really not that long! 😁 😁

Hi All,

USCIS received my i129f package on 6/29/2018 and approved it on 7/29/2018. I just received the i797 in the mail today (the status did not update on the website yet). I am petitioning to bring my Cuban fiancee to the U.S., and I sent a very much front-loaded and well organized accordion folder as my i129f package. This was sent to the California Service Center and somehow got approved in one month's time- not sure if it was purely luck, or if the very thorough and organized nature of the submission helped. Just figured I'd post here to inspire some hope that the 5-7 month timeline might be shorter than you expect! 

Hello everyone

I wanted to know if the petitioner changes his job will that affect the k-1 process?? Because my fiance (petitioner) got another job. Is this a problem?

No, you or the petitioner, (if he can be at the interview with you) will have to explain the job change at the interview in the US consulate. Don't worry, you are Fine
