Thank you. I swear, all these website and all these list are doing my head in.

 

Is it wrong to think we are on the right path if we have the interview scheduled?!?! I'm just trying to make sure that all our ducks are in a row.

Once you received your LND number from NVC you should have completed the DS160 online, scheduled and attended the medical exam, completed the Online Readiness Form and then scheduled the interview and chosen the courier service.

 

In terms of documents your fiance will need to take, he needs to take the DS160 confirmation page, the interview instruction confirmation page, his passport, long form birth certificate, adoption certificate (if applicable), name change deed poll (if applicable), divorce decree or death certificate (if applicable for your fiance, yours would have already been submitted), police certificate from ACRO in the UK, police certificate for any other country he lived in for 12 months or longer since the age of 16, court and prison records (if applicable), military records (if applicable), 2 US sized passport photos, Form I-134 with support documentation (letter from your employer, your most recent paystubs, W2, tax transcripts, bank statement - in general London only requests 1-2 of these support documents), and translations of any documents that are not in English.

Good afternoon everyone day 61 of waiting for RFE response called USCIS after work today. First agent I spoke to was a rude jerk straight out refused to transfer me. I called again and am waiting for call back from Tier 2 officer. It has been 179 days since NOA1 what will it take to receive kind service from USCIS employes lol?

Also, I totally understand what you mean about the different websites and instructions, it can be a lot to take in at times, especially when you get conflicting information (London Embassy Website and Knightsbridge Website/Email for instance).

 

It's also nice to see another Illinois resident with a UK fiance

We arrived in the US today. Portland, OR was an easy POE.  Staying overnight here, and continuing to Dallas tomorrow.

 

So nice to not have to check the status of anything.....

 

Welcome to the United States my family!

 

The long wait is over.

Back in February, my fiance needed to change his name on his passport (he needed to put his last name in the last name field, which was blank). The passport was originally issued in Kerala but he lives in Delhi, so he updated his address at the same time. The police went to his apartment to verify the address - it was a pain in the a** but not complicated. I am pretty sure your fiance can do the same thing - just update the address to Pune.

Hey could you please share your experience on getting your PCC in Pune?

12 days after you received your NOA2, that's really quick!

I checked my case number at NVC site and it says it's still in NVC. Question: It also says that there are six steps that you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms, and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything or missing.  What does it mean?? Anyone from PH petitioners?

Ceac tracker always displays that message, but it doesn't apply to K1 visas, so no need to worry about that, but whatever are the country specific steps once your case is ready

Why wait to be in case ready. You have everything to move forward for USEM interview.  It's time to pay your interview fee, complete the DS-160, schedule your interview and medical. This is the fun part where YOU are charge now of how fast you want this to go. Don't wait around for case ready there is NO need to do so.

You're reading the requirements for the CR1 visa which is for married couples. Your on the K1 so a different set of steps.  Here I will list what you need:

 

This is the Embassy letter or better known as Packet 3. Use this as a check list for all the required steps and documents needed.

Here is a link to the K-1 process through USEM. Step by Step from Hank's website.

Keep in mind this is a good forum here as you are "traveling together" on your initial journey. But now you're asking questions of others who haven't necessarily completed their K1 and they are processing through another Embassy that doesn't have the same steps from USEM, so they have limited knowledge. Therefore, I recommend that you ask your specific USEM questions over in the Philippines forum where you will receive great help.
