| Comments : |
I have known my fiancee, Larisa Cherednikova from Volzhsky, Russia, for three years now (or I thought I knew her). After two and one half years of different gut-wrenching waiting, many obstacles, applications, three visits, one past approved K-1 visa with her arrival here for almost three months, etc. my fiancee declined to interview for her K-1 visa on November 30. She decided to remain in Russia to help "provide care" for her family. While her reasons seem to be admirable and honorable on the surface, she knew these "care" issues existed before she agreed to marry me. However, her final decision came to me September 29, 2009... only after I told her that we could not financially support her entire family and maintain a good lifestyle in the U.S. Consequently, it is obvious to me that the bottom line for her was MY MONEY--nothing more. This is terribly disturbing for me. So, everyone out there, BEWARE!! |

My fiancee indicated to me that her interview was very warm and cordial. The Consulate officer was very professional, yet engaged her in polite conversation. She was relieved and very happy when she left the Embassy. Her visa was approved and it arrived at her home in 3-4 days by DHL. |

I received my first NOA2 in a normal and timely manner. Then, I waited two months during which time the NVC did not receive my application. I contacted the USCIS and the NVC regularly, but my application did not arrive at the NVC and the USCIS did not know the whereabouts of my approved application. I was told, by a USCIS rep to wait 30 days before asking that a 'locate' alert be placed on my approved application in their computer system. Finally, after 60 days, a very knowledgeable and courteous rep said that he should place an 'request' in the system to locate my application. Consequently, the USCIS found my application, assigned a new validity date to it, and I am told it will be forwarded to the NVC. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
