Sure no problem.. But as of now I am in a standstill USCIS says they no longer have the petition or jurisdiction of it to contact NVC which I did .. I am waiting on their response lets see what happens literally I feel like crying smh..

It's taking much longer then in previous years so understand your frustrated. Don't set your expectations so high, stop checking and calling when others are reporting a different timeline then yours. Keep yourself busy. Plan for the future. Get all you ducks in a row for when you do have control back.

During my interview the CO clearly said “your visa is approved” but if they didnt ask for any other additional documents you need to send over and kept her passport then she passed. Also, they keep the Birth certificate as far as I know.

First off Congratulations. Second, yes the fact that they stated "your visa is approved" at the interview gives you a little sigh of relief. BUT, there is further processing that needs to be done and sometimes that can put you in a delayed category. I hope your's travels the smooth trail which most do at USEM.

You can file an inquiry if you're over 6 weeks at AskNVC. They usually get back within 3 business days.

Very smooth. It was only a day under AP then issued 2 days after. My visa will be delivered today (4th working day).

Your advise is good but only if it is taking into account the normal timeline that USCIS and NVC is running. If her file just left USCS sending a askNVC will only get her a standard reply "we don't have it". Or if her file just came in the front door at NVC we know it takes 2-4 weeks to assign a case number so call on the arrival day will also get you the "it hasn't been assigned yet". So it's a lesson to all. Watch the timelines and if you are outside the timeline then a contact with NVC is needed. That's my experience.

Thank you! Already did 😣 I am just going to leave it alone day by day it gets worse. Hopefully, I get answers before the one yr hits 6/14.. Positive vibes 🤗

I talked to a NVC supervisor and later I was told that our case is now sent for supervisor review. (Case No. generated on May 2)

Then they said it can take up to 6 weeks maximum to be reviewed by supervisor. We already waited more than a month under administrative processing and another possible 6 weeks?!?!?!?!?

 

I'm really depressed.

I had mine today and it was quite easy but just a little bit of waiting. My interview is on the 15th so I’ll be sure to remember to let you know how it all goes. I’m hoping for POE 1st/2nd July. 

Yes yes yes! Please. We were wanting that originally but it will cost less if we fly in 4th of July for us. 

 

Good luck! 🍀 and yes I’d be soooo appreciative if you shared your experience! 👌🏻🙌🏻

K1 Visa Journey ( Philippines ) 

Anyone here who have the same experience?

 

On May 31st, I was advised by SLEC that they are the one who’s gonna send the results to the embassy because there was a typo error on the results and they need to redo it but they said that everything is cleared.

 

On June 1st, I went to the embassy. After the interview, the consul says “it looks good, proceed to the releasing area for further instructions” and handed me the 2pcs pamphlet about domestic violence. 

 

When I went to the releasing area, I was advised by the Filipina to wait for the embassy’s update and not to contact SLEC because they have an internal communication regarding my medical resuts. Then, the lady asked me to get a sheet of paper (delivery information). 

 

My passport is still with USEM. They didn’t return it back. 
 
I attended the interview on June 1. Unfortunately, my medical results are still not there in the embassy. My case status is currently in “administrative processing.”

 

Now, I’m just wondering if my case is going to be approved or not. Hopefully everything will be okay and will get my visa soon. 

 

Ps: during the interview, the consul never asked for any documents and the interview only lasts for 2-3 mins.

Do you guys know if the affidavit of support have to be 1 for me and 1 for my children or is 1 for both of us? The lawyer say is one for both of us. But I’m still concern about if we really need 1 each
