I was told that they might not let you enter the states while the visa is in progress. But i hope it will be fine! Good luck everyone!

It is possible they could deny entry. I've heard of at least one instance where a Customs Officer accused a beneficiary of abusing the VWP because it was his 3rd trip within a few months. However, the CO at the airport knew about the K-1 application because he had been through the same airport on the other two times.

If I sent the package on the 19th, when should I expect a NOA1 text?? Monday?

Also, let's get to know eachother here! I see the other threads seem to be bonding, so why don't we start now?

How did you meet your fiance or fiancee? :D

For me, it was in my first year of college and he was a study abroad student from Thailand. We were in the same international awareness club. I liked those types of groups because I am half-filipino.

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

our papers got to dallas last monday, may 16th. No NOA1 hardcopy yet. didnt apply for gettin NOA1 per text or emai.

Okay. There's usually a couple of days worth of lag time between when it gets to Dallas and when a NOA1 is generated. So, if your file got there on the 16th, your NOA1 could've been generated on the 18th which means that you could be seeing it in the mail around Wednesday of this week.

Niing, what a great idea! We met online back in the summer of 2009 and started out as good friends. From there things kept progressing until we officially became a couple in early 2010. Traveled out to the Philippines 4 times, am planning for a 5th trip this August/September and hoping that the 6th is where we travel to the states together!!! :D

For now, we have the old school way of communicating- Skype & YM :bonk:

Seems like Skype is the cheapest way so far, isn't it?

Especially since Ice (my fiance) doesn't have internet.

Also, the Dallas lockbox received it today....I hope NOA1 comes soon!
