They never replied to my first email, but then I send them another email and they replied within 24 hours. We are sending out the RFE reply today. Im really sad that we got RFE'd for Okcupid because I will probably be flying to the US next week and a NOA2 in my hands would make me feel more confident to get entry into the states. Im worried that if they see that I got RFE'd they might deny me entry to the states... Not fair that a lot of people who also met on Okcupid.com got approved. I mean I'm happy for them but its really frustrating for me.

You would think that with so many persons meeting on OkCupid they would obviously realize by now that it's not an IMB. It's weird that they don't have a list of these websites since it seems to be a common RFE. Sorry about your setback but it's an easy fix.

As for visiting your fiancé just bring ties to your home country in case immigration asks for it. For eg. Rental agreement, job contract, bank account info etc.

My mom will be co-sponsor for me too but this is a first time that I heard about "sponsor's financial responsibility agreement". Can you give me a link for that?

Thank you and don't worry, everything is going to be ok, I errand less money then you and I still think positive because my mom have good salary I hope that's going to help and I hope they will take in concord that I was in school full time last year, I was only working par-time :/

You need to get your case number from NVC to be able to track your case on this site: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

2 weeks from having received your approval, you can start calling NVC for your case number. Congrats btw :joy:

Thank you very much

Yes, I totally understand you! It's kind of frustrating that they do it randomly. But we are back in the (waiting) game now! :)

Until today my fiancé hasn't received an answer from our dating website. I'm glad I wrote them two days after he hasn't heard from them back and they answered me the same day. Lol

Let me know how your entry was. And don't forget to bring binding ties (lease contract, employment contract, etc.)!

I'm gonna visit my fiancé for Christmas and I'm already a bit nervous if they will let me in lol.

I guess we shouldn't worry too much. Let's hope we won't have any more troubles besides the RFE. ;)

Definitely and easy fix - just a copy of their terms of business isn't it?!

I am wondering if my RFE is similar - we met on plenty of fish dating site...

good news is for you, most NOA2's come in approx. 2 weeks after RFE!

I am the beneficiary originally from UK !!

Hello!

I'm still waiting for the NVC to receive my case and assign me a case number (two weeks today!)

But I'm wanting to get a handle on the next steps now. My question is about the DS-160 form. When did you fill it out? Was it difficult? What information did you have to provide? If it matters my embassy is Montreal, Canada.

Thank you! I don't know what I'd do without this forum!

What do they want to say?

Affidavit of Support For Fiancé(e), Spouse, or Child as a “K” Nonimmigrant

If your relative is either a “K-1” fiancé(e), a “K-3” spouse, or a “K-2” or “K-4” child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit an affidavit of support at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States.

I am sorry for the RFEs but at least they are working on your case, and anyways your approvals are on their way. I feel it.

But I'm wanting to get a handle on the next steps now. My question is about the DS-160 form. When did you fill it out? Was it difficult? What information did you have to provide? If it matters my embassy is Montreal, Canada.

Thank you! I don't know what I'd do without this forum!

Hey there! I have just finished filling it. Its huge, but nothing scary, just simple questions about you, address, work, education, convictions, etc.

Just a lot of questions, mostly yes or no.

You can do it even now and save for later. And you need a photo as well to complete it.

My petition has finally arrived at my embassy yesterday evening! Now I will wait for their letter to schedule the interview ;)

Good luck all xxx

You would think that with so many persons meeting on OkCupid they would obviously realize by now that it's not an IMB. It's weird that they don't have a list of these websites since it seems to be a common RFE. Sorry about your setback but it's an easy fix.

As for visiting your fiancé just bring ties to your home country in case immigration asks for it. For eg. Rental agreement, job contract, bank account info etc.

Yes, I totally understand you! It's kind of frustrating that they do it randomly. But we are back in the (waiting) game now! :)

Until today my fiancé hasn't received an answer from our dating website. I'm glad I wrote them two days after he hasn't heard from them back and they answered me the same day. Lol

Let me know how your entry was. And don't forget to bring binding ties (lease contract, employment contract, etc.)!

I'm gonna visit my fiancé for Christmas and I'm already a bit nervous if they will let me in lol.

I guess we shouldn't worry too much. Let's hope we won't have any more troubles besides the RFE. ;)

Thanks :) My fiancé just send out the RFE with overnight mail, priority express. So they will have it tomorrow and hopefully then we will get approved ASAP. We included an email from Okcupid, a written statement of my fiancé signed and dated, and the terms & conditions from Okcupid.com. This should be enough evidence.

Try emailing PoF, it would be good to have a reply from them. Also a written statement from the petitioner signed and dated. It's good to have this prepared so you can send it out the same or next day and you won't have any delays hopefully. Best of luck :) Keep us posted!
