Where is your fiancé from? Mine is from Ghana and they practically need a visa to go everywhere. Particularly  West Africa has an extremely high rejection rate to come into the US as of late. Many West Africans are routinely rejected even to come and visit their spouses. It’s not easy. 

 One fiancé is from England. Which is extremely low risk. 

Ur statement is fare and I completely understand where ur coming from. Was trying to give some inside due to a lot of people thinking they can't visit while going thru the process..

My fiancé has and is currently visiting me in the states. She hasn't had one issue entering either. We are still awaiting our noa2 but, have received a rfe last week. It's not impossible to visit while going thru this process. 

The relationship between the UK and the USA is quite different because usually you can travel on your passport which acts as your visa. Those who attempt to get any other type of visa (not traveling on their passport as the visa) will struggle at best.

I am filling out the Affidavit of support and mailing it to my fiancee with w9s, tax returns, and i will email him my pay stubs and letter from employer when it comes closer to time.

 

Once the NVC has our case do you know how long it takes for them to run the background check and then forward it to the London embassy?

 

Thanks

2-3 weeks after approval. but please don't wait for the hard copy. Review your P3 letter from your Embassy and see what is need. Best time is now to be working on your interview preparations.

Thanks Greenbaum. How do I find the P3 letter for Ghana?

Just want to try to get some clearer information. Does USCIS really send over the petitions to NVC in ''Batches''? 

I ask because I was checking this out http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php and the 'NVC received' dates are all over the place and not just in batches. So that go me wondering.

I don't have a copy but if you were to get one and send me a copy I would have it for someone who would process behind you. Check the Embassy's website, check the portal here VJ and try and find information from your regions sub-forum. Also, use these instructions to find others who are going through Ghana who just might have a copy and share with you.

 

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.

No need to send anything. It all can be sent in an email and printed on the other side of the Pond. Easier to get a IRS tax transcript for free and it can be downloaded from the link I will provide. The TT is only about 2 pages long.

I was told it had to be a wet signature on the form.

The I-134 requires a wet signature all other docs, a copy will suffice.

Our NOA2 arrived yesterday dated 31st august. Not the 4th sept like we were notified. i am correct in saying that this is our actual date that we received and use? 

 

It may be a silly question i know, just wondering when to call NVC. Thanks

Yes they send in batches electronically every 2 weeks. There is not an official policy on this but look at the nvc forum for aug on sept 4 and see what people post, then go back every 2 weeks. It’s the process.

 

reason why timelines are all over the place e is because people might not find out their case is in transit till after a few days and they are putting the date the find out instead of the actual date is my best guess. 

 

Also if cases are sent manually and not electronically they don’t follow the 2 week pattern

14-21 calendar days. Mine took 23 days but I feel mine was longer than most. Hopefully you are a lucky one and get it in 14 days.

Think ur looking as for when to start calling for nvc number. If u wait the 10 days on hard copy it would be best. Just gives them a few more days to do what they need to.
