US Immigration from Turkey

Hi all,

Our I-129F was approved on July 29th and it hasn t been shipped to the embassy yet (it s been 67 days). I contacted my Representative to check the status and get the case number. They sent me the below response:

The NVC has responded to our office in regards to the K1 Visa for your fianc . The case, ANK**********, is currently in administrative processing to determine the beneficiary's eligibility for the visa. Administrative processing is inherently not a transparent process for national security or public safety reasons and cannot be expedited; the NVC cannot estimate when the process will be complete but will notify you when it is complete.

I know that visas may go under Administrative Processing after the interview, but I didn t know this. Also, when I check my status on CEAC, it shows AT NVC

So now we are confused what s going on. Does anyone have any information or experience about this? Thanks.

My cousin got married last year and filed taxes jointly with his wife. He personally made $80,000.00 last year.

In the expected annual income area i only wrote his expected income for 2022 and the total joint income in the 2021 tax area ($150,000.00).

I also uploaded 6 months of paystubs supporting his expected income for 2022. I also added 2019-2020-2021 W2 and 2019-2020-2021 tax transcripts. but 2021 tax transcripts total income is more since they filed jointly.

I also explained at the end that we will only be using his income and nobody else's income from the household including his wife's. Is there anything else i have to do to explain that we use only his income ?

I also added a letter to remove the previous joint sponsor for which the NVC had sent RFE for his proof of income, I noted that the previous JS didnt meet the required financials and that my cousin does and i signed with a pen.

Has anyone successfully changed joint sponsors after most of the documents were accepted but NVC asked for proof of income because they didnt meet it ?

Hi all,

I got a text message from USCIS that my case was received and was given a receipt number. When I check online in my uscis account there isnt any information/no status, just the receipt number is visible. Also, on uscis website case status says the receipt number is invalid. Any ideas why? Maybe its not put into their system yet?

Hi all,

I applied for i-129f and received a rejection notice, but I believe it is an error; what should I do!?!

I prepared the i-129f. I mailed it with a cover letter, bank check and all necessary documents. My packet was delivered on June 27th. It was processed the same day. About a week later, got a rejection notice with the entire packet returned with instructions to refile completely and correctly. I attached the rejection notice and first page of thee petition (this page was rejected) here. It says a section was not completed, my family name, on page 1 of the petition. I am going crazy because I have not left blank my last name, given name or middle name nor did i misspell the names on the petition. I am so confused. What do i do?

can t even call and speak to a representative about the matter. I emailed uscis to inquire, but no response yet. I am afraid if i reapply again exactly the same (because there is no error with names/spelling of names) that i may be rejected again. If anyone has any advice i would appreciate it.

With the latest news, does this affect Russians who need to go the US Embassy for an interview for their K1 Visa? My fiancee is a Russia passport holder, but we both live in Turkey with Residence Permits.

Right now, we had to get a Schengen visa for Spain and then travel to Poland for our interview (2023 Spring). Will Poland reject entry to Russian citizens? Or will the US transfer our case to a different country that Russian are able to visit?

Any advice or how to find out would be really appreciated.
