Did you ,guys,read about the tremendous growth of the k1 petitions lately?

I'm not sure if i understood right, but did they say it could take up to 15 weeks to receive only the NOA1?????

i'm freaked out!

That's old news. The service centers have caught up quite a bit and the mass inrush of applications has died down to much more manageable levels. Most people are seeing NOA1's within a couple weeks these days.

Hey, looks like this thread is the new "official" January filers thread, so congratulations to all the new and future January filers on your next step in the process of reuniting with your loved ones. Best of luck to you all!

Thank you, Mox!

Well...this is my first post; I've been registered for months and was lurking for about a year before that, but any burning question I had was answered by this site with minimal searching so I'd had no need to post! But now we're about to file so I figure it's time to say hi. The whole package is assembled and ready to be sent - just waiting for Alex to be paid so that he can comfortably afford the fee. Should be dispatched this weekend!

It's hard to be back in gloomy ol' England when Christmas in California was so pleasant and sunny. Here's hoping we all get processed swiftly.

Darren says that too...Orlando to Brixham is quite a change...

Good luck to all the January filers!!!!! Hope your journeys will go smoothly.

Btw, we got our NOA1 after two days.

This is exciting, I can't wait until my fiance can come here for good hehe He just left on Sunday after spending the holidays here. He wont be here again until late march. When are you all seeing your loves again?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Due to monetary constraints and a lack of holiday days, probably not until I have the visa in hand.

Hey! What part of Cali? I'm going to be (kinda) near San Bernardino Nice to see lots of UK-ers here as well - makes me feel happy

Thought I would say welcome to the forum and I wish you the best of luck in your journey - it's a long road but it will teach you a lot about yourself and your relationship (not to mention the crummy government system ).

Keep the faith and remember that even when it is cloudy, the sun is always shining on the other side

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Thanks for the welcome, makes me feel all fuzzy inside!

We were apart for 11 months last year so I know it'll be difficult but I'm keeping concentrated on our end goal and in the meantime will use all these upcoming months to prepare as much as possible. It's going to be such a relief to finally send the package out, it's been on my mind for months!

I was in San Jose - I love the Bay Area, and it was blue skies and sun for most of December.
