a couple of questions about k-1 pt.2

[Penny Lane 8,159]

dont worry you will not be posting and complaining about the wait,cause you wont have any.

and as far lying goes,youre not a military member OR know how up in the air you are in the military.

while it might seem thats his chances of getting deployed are high,still they still exist.i suggest you do your homework before you judge anyone

I won't have any? You cannot predict the future. I could easily wait nine months. The other Canadian in this thread waited 178 days between NOA1 and NOA2. Where was her special treatment?

You are the one who came out and said it was a lie. You want to pretend he's being deployed. Your lie wouldn't work anyway, they'd request proof.

[thelastpetitioner 218]

The definition of ignorance is to lack knowledge. That is clearly the case here, as harsh as it may sound. If any research had been done, even just here on VJ, it would be clear that nobody is getting any special treatment and the OP's timeline is nothing out of the ordinary.

when did i say all canadians have the same timeline or all get their visa before the 6 months mark?i would like to see that.

you cant deny that some people randomly or pre planned get special treatment,majority of them are canadians,which makes sense since canada and the states are diplomatically close,THAT is not the case.the case is their attitude towards middle eastern countries that are not even high fraud to be honest with you

AGAIN to me anything with less than 20% chances of happening IS a white lie.do you have eye issues?

I never claimed you said any of that. You simply came out and made the blanket statement that Canadians get special treatment. There are many examples on these forums that prove that that isn't the case at all. Some people are lucky, some people aren't. That's just the way this process goes. Lying gets you nowhere. A "white lie" is still a lie.

Look at your timeline. It's only been two months since your NOA1. CSC lists 5 months as the estimated length of time it takes.

call it whatever you want,your opinion does not matter to me,specially since you have no clue what you are talking about ( as far as deployment goes ),many people from many different nationalities lie about the foundations of their relationship and people just simply tell them they are wrong,i think youre going way out of your way here.

You wanted advice. You came out, told us all that you think your waiting is more important than others, because you're being victimized by the system.

Go ahead and lie. Be sure to let us know how it works out for you.

Good luck.

you have no idea what you're talking about concerning canada and preferential treatment. you really need to get the facts before you make statements like this. some middle eastern countries are considered high fruad, and look - you were talking about being fraudulent yourself, pondering if you should lie or not. go figure.

Funny how you focus so much on my timeline, but refuse to acknowledge the other Canadian timeline in this thread. Her process took nearly a year. But yes, special treatment indeed.

Montreal takes 4-6 months just to schedule an interview, by the way. Do some research.

AGAIN,i did not say all canadians

yes there are some who have to wait even more than high fraud countries,but is that true for everyone?no.

do i think its an accident and a matter of luck that some countries citizen get all " lucky"?no

this is going nowhere,so dont even bother to comment unless its about the original question

2.is it safe to say since my country has no relations with the states,the NVC stage for us will be a very quick pit stop?

4.my fiance is active military,and he most likely WONT get deployed while waiting on our interview date.if we call the embassy and tell em that he might get deployed ( yes yes thats a lie but we all know how hard waiting on the last stages is ) would they check his platoon and all to see if he is telling the truth?

TIA

Hello,

Related to point #2: I would tend to think that precisely because your country does not have ties with the US your petition would, in fact, take longer rather than be a "very quick pit stop" at the National Visa Center.

Related to point #4" I do not think the embassy (or any of the other agencies involved in the I-129 F petition process) works on the basis of people "telling" them something, but are rather based on people providing proof of something. As such, I would expect the embassy to ask for proof of his impending deployment, thereby putting your petition on hold, or put into AP (or some other administrative limbo) or worse, be denied just because you wanted to get your petition approved sooner!

It does seem to me, too, that fiance(e)s in 1st world countries have lesser waiting times than fiance(s)s in 3rd world or middle eastern countries. Having said that, as other VJ members have already pointed out, there are always the cases of long waits in countries where others have had their petitions approved quite quickly, though. Unfortunately, every petition is different and someone's processing timeline is not a prediction of your particular wait/timeline.

Best wishes to all!

The timeline varies, I heard some people got 5 months some get more of 1 year of waiting. It has several factors and it most of it doesn't have to do with your nationality. Simply stay honest and patient and give the all the info needed and the process will be smoother and faster.

1.i know that iranian citizens dont have to have their police certificate with them when they go for the interview,BUT every person i have talked to who applied with a lawyer told me their lawyer advised them to take it with them,just in case.now i called and checked,every police certificate issued in iran,expires within a month,if they somehow ask for it in the embassy will having an expired version be an issue?considering i have to go to turkey a couple of days earlier than my interview to get medical and all,i wont have access to get a new one

2.is it safe to say since my country has no relations with the states,the NVC stage for us will be a very quick pit stop?

3.im trying to estimate how long after i post my packett3 ill get informed about our interview date.for turkey the average is 5 months prior to the date,is estimating by the average timing like that accurate?

4.my fiance is active military,and he most likely WONT get deployed while waiting on our interview date.if we call the embassy and tell em that he might get deployed ( yes yes thats a lie but we all know how hard waiting on the last stages is ) would they check his platoon and all to see if he is telling the truth?

5.some say you can find packette 3s online,is that true?if so can someone link me the packette 3 for the US embassy in ankara

TIA

Hi, best of luck in your visa journey (hehe).

1. I do know there are a couple of countries that are not required to produce police certificates. I do not know if Iran is one of them. there is a website that lists them and how long they're valid for but I cannot recall where to find it. Maybe someone else can post the link if they can't find it. I would try to bring one if at all possible. Getting a 221 g (document request) instead of an approval really sucks.

2. No, it's not safe to say that at all. for all we know it could take them 5 months to even get to you in the stack. I really don't know how they do what they do at the NVC but I don't think they organize by country. It kind of seems to be luck of the draw.

3. Nope, i wouldn't estimate by averages. especially if it's not the embassy you will be going to. Every embassy is very different and even teh same embassy can vary greatly. At Montreal they seemed to schedule interviews every 6 months. that would mean that some people would wait 6 months and some people would wait a week.

4. Yes they will check to see if he is actually being deployed. During our process Kevin was potentially going to be deployed and when i mentioned it to the embassy they said they wouldnt' do anything without written orders or letters from his CO. If that does happen, then you can request an expedite. To be honest, I was much happier waiting longer than to have him deploy.

good luck, I hope everything is speedy for you.

I found it! hehe

Visa reciprocity table. I needed it to find out if i needed a police certificate from Japan. I hope it helps.
