Thank you for updating your timeline, but you may want to change the Consulate  to Manila and the service center to California service center. Yes your hard copy NOA1 should arrive in a week or so. Congrats.

I think all of you here are my new best friends. 

Thank you so much

Just dropping a Hi to all the new December filers.  I am back from my New Years trip to see my man and just booked a trip in March.  Hoping that having something to look forward to will help pass the time.  Positive vibes to all!

Welcome Brianm to the thread. Ask any questions you may have, lots of people here to help.

 

Can you please complete your profile. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

I had trouble finding this thread but luckily Greenbaum showed me where it was!!! 

 

I'm the petitioner in Washington, DC.  My fiance is from Espirito Santo, Brazil.  I'm off to a rough start because my package got delayed by USPS in the mail, and then I waited a week and a half for the text message and for my check to be cashed.  Still no hard copy NOA1.  It seems like things have gone generally must more quickly/smoothly for everyone else so far.  I am REALLY hoping the rest of my process has less delays but I know a lot of it comes down to luck.  Here's my timeline so far:

 

December 17, 2018 - Packet mailed

December 24, 2018 - NOA1 date on web site

January 2, 2019 - Check cashed/text message received

 

Good luck to all!!!

You can add a signature box to your profile that will "announce" to those want to know your status without visiting your timeline. Add the timeline to your signature.

 

Go up to the top of the page and select your "name". In the drop down box choose "account settings" then on the left column select signature and scroll down and add your information. Now others will have a quick idea where you are in the process.

Just a little rough patch, you'll be fine, it won't have a bearing on how your application is processed. Congrats on the submission of your petition. I'm sure your journey will be smooth.

Hi everyone just a quick question. My petitioner doesn't have a US passport so we weren't able to include that on our i129f packet. It was actually me who visited him in the US twice before we file for the K1 and I submitted all the evidence on my end (my passport, tourist visa, stamps, i94, bording passes etc...) 

 

Question: is it okay that my petitioner only submitted his birth certificate as proof of his citizenship? He will eventually get a passport maybe next month.

 

Thanks for all your feedback

[Amber Kay 14]

Hi everyone

 

I mailed the K1 on December 29, 2018...received the text message for NOA1 on December 31, 2018. I'm really hoping that is a good sign! Really looking forward to a speedy approval. Will update.

The requirements  are to submit a valid passport or a birth certificate  to prove your US citizenship, he will be fine. I would recommend though that he get one at his earliest  convenience.

Hello hoping someone can help with this. I will be selling my house next month and traveling was wondering should I use my Fathers address while traveling since I wont have a permanent address while I am traveling? Do you think that it will cause a RFE being that I will not have a fixed address for several months?

TIA Mark

No. They don't even consider items of that nature. change your address to your Fathers and go travel.
