Hello everyone, I am in the process of gathering my information. So far I have organized everything so mailing out application on Friday. 

Congratulations for taking the first step. Stay engaged here to learn what are the next steps and what is involved in a "normal" process. Most things take time so be patience. This is a quite straightforward process if you let it be that. I would recommend that you go back to some of the other monthly posts and read them to see what others have experienced so when it happens to you, you'll have the knowledge to handle that step or issue.

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. 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. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. 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 their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
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.

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.
 
Thanks

@Cheburashka34 and @Jtm287  Here is an example of how yours should look when completed. Thanks for your patience in getting this completed. 

 

 

Oh gosh I figured it out now! I kept looking at my timeline and trying to edit that instead of my profile. I got it changed. Thank you!

Wonderful. That's why I do two different .gif's; one for the timeline and the other for the proper profile. But anywhooooo, we got it done. Thanks.

I’ll be doing the same :) doing final checks and then hopefully we’ll be ready to send it next week. 

[breadlover408 24]

I’m just doing final checks on my K1 and hopefully I can send it out next week. 
 

thanks OP for the post - you’re right that we should talk about non-visa stuff to our fiancés and remember to focus on other things. I needed that reminder. Thank you.

Yuppers. Very normal. It often takes 2-3 weeks for any action including the cashing of the check. This process is a challenge and those who can out last USICS normally wins. Patience grasshopper.  In the meantime.....

Still nothing In terms of check cashed or NOA1. Is calling or emailing them worth it? Just starting to feel uneasy, just want to know things are getting started.

Did you send your package with tracking capabilities? If so, then that would be the first place to check. If it has been received, there is a good chance that it's there just waiting to be added to the system. Once 30 days passes, I would call USCIS.

 

If you have the tracking information you can always inquire to:   Lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov 

 

Have you registered here https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do to follow your case?

It's all about patience. It's rare that your file will get lost in this process. They have checkpoints and procedures in place to minimize this from happening. As I say trust the process.

As someone who often worries too much about little things, I'm sure this entire process will teach me patience:) hope to hear positive things from other August filers here as well as we begin this together!

[Greenbaum 12,259]

For everyone.

 

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?

    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

Good luck on your journey

Do we have to notarize any of the documents we sending?

No. Copies for the submission is fine. When you get closer to your interview the P3 interview document requirements will outline if original will be needed at the interview.
