    it shouldn't be a problem. consular officers can/will extend the validity of a petition at the time of interview. as long as the consular officer doing the interview believes that you both have the intent to marry within the 90 days, you should be fine. I would suggest printing a new Intent to Marry letter with an updated date and signature to send along with your fiance to her interview. my fiance went to a different embassy. but our NOA2 expired on July 4th and his interview wasn't until July 9th. they didn't question that expired NOA2 and he was approved

    the woman who helped us at the SSA office in Michigan told us 7-10 business days

    i believe the automated message comes no matter what you put in the subject line. putting a specific subject line just gets it to the right section of the embassy. so she should get an actual response if it was sent with the right subject line. **the correct subject line is provided in the packet 3 letter. she can request it be emailed if her packet has been at the embassy for more than 30 days and she hasnt received packet 3

    have you tried in another browser? In Firefox i would say about 98% of the form is able to be filled out, at least for me it is anyway. in Adobe Acrobat some of the options only become possible to fill out once you answer the question beforehand. I would also check to make sure all updates for either program are downloaded and installed. but if there are boxes that can't be filled out cause they don't apply to you (i.e Part 1 Number 37, have you ever been previously married and you answered no.) they can just be left blank or you can hand write in N/A. People will write in answers as well as type in answers and it isn't an issue.

    just posting an update for any one who was interested. only waited about 10 minutes after our appointment time, and it only last about 10 minutes. The lady seemed slightly confused but took my fiances I-94, passport, and the SS-5 form. and after asking him a few questions (have you ever gotten a MI state drivers license or ID card, ever applied for state benefits) told us everything was good and he would get his card in the mail in 7-10 days. was much easier than my anxiety lead me to believe lol

    well I got a call back much sooner than I was expecting and I asked "Do I need an appointment to get a new SSN?" And the woman on the phone said yes, and then asked who it was going to be for. I told her my fiance who is here on a K1/fiance visa. And she was able to make us an appointment. And we got incredibly lucky that the Flint SSO had an appointment available for tomorrow (when we were planning on going anyway) so it worked out (so far anyway lol)

    Hello all, My fiance arrived in the states on November 5th. We are going to the SSO tomorrow (November 19th) to apply for his SSN. We went based off the information that we needed to wait at least 2 weeks to go in and apply, which it seems like it really isn't the case anymore? but I guess it doesn't matter in our case anymore. anyway, my confusion is whether or not we need an appointment for this? I've called the number on the SSA site to make an appointment, currently have my number waiting in queue as the wait time is over 40 minutes. I tried to call the office directly and also was met with an insane wait time. I guess this question pertains to the SSO in Flint, Michigan. For those who have dealt with this office specifically, did you need an appointment for getting an SSN on a K1? Or where you able to make an appointment while there? or should we be able to walk in without an appointment? For how much they push using the ssa website for things you'd think making an appointment would be a lot easier. We are still within the 75 days of the I-94 validity (the 75 day mark is about 1/19/2025). But am trying to get his SSN before the end of the year.

    K1 processing has slowed down significantly. people are waiting 2-3 months more after approval for their petitions to be sent to the NVC. and from there it still has to get to the embassy. and if im not mistaken, Montreal handles the interviews for most if not all family based visas for canada. which would also slow down the timelines. at this point the timelines for the CR1/IR1 and the K1 are not that much different.

    As the person above said, it goes automatically to the embassy for whatever country the beneficiary lives in. since your fiance lives in cyprus, the embassy in cyprus no longer processes immigrant visas. There are several embassies that have consolidated their immigrant visa processes to Frankfurt. Including fiance visas https://cy.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visas/

    the form itself can be filled out by typing in a PDF editor (like Adobe Acrobat). But you can always fill things out by hand in black ink if need be. Just need to be sure that it is neat and legible. From the I-129f instructions, you cannot type out the signature, it has to be hand written in black ink "You (or your signing authority) must properly complete your petition. USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of any signature on this petition" https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf

    the evidence my fiance brought with the I-134 was dated for march (employment letter and bank letters) and pay stubs went 3 months back starting from march and his interview wasn't until June. I don't believe it was an issue at all. they didn't even ask for the letters or the pay stubs. only the tax return transcripts
  23. MalloryCat
    thats right. why they choose to use the word "refused" will never make sense to me lol but refused basically just means that your case needs additional administrative processing, which would be them waiting to receive the documents your fiance sent. any further instructions should/would be sent directly to the intending immigrant, your fiance.
  24. MalloryCat
    using the case number provided by the NVC or the embassy, it should be listed on the letter your fiance received from the embassy, it would read as GUZ or GZO followed by a string of numbers. You can use that to track it. it should say "Ready" on the tracker. Just meaning the embassy has received it. If you do check, make sure you switch the drop down to immigrant visa. https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV since every embassy is different, their processes aren't always the same. More than likely if the embassy requested documents be sent to them, they will either email or send your fiance another letter telling him how to schedule his interview as well as his medical exam. so he probably cant make any appointments until then

    yea i only did a quick google search and went based off of Googles AI overview response, which obviously isn't always right 😂

    typically they extend petitions during the actual interview, but most embassies are pretty ok with extending them since it is a very short timeline. calling embassies can kind of be hit or miss, a lot of them don't answer their phones it looks like the Guangzhou embassy utilizes the visa navigator to help people who have questions. it is just a microsoft form that you click through, you don't submit anything through it but it will tell you who to contact U.S. Consulate Guangzhou Immigrant Visa Unit Navigator https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/visas-immigrant-visas-contact-us/
