K1 Visa November

[FaithProfessoR 171]

Hello everyone! 

 

I’m new to this site, I see that a lot of people have been thru the same process that we as a couple are going a this moment. 

 

Just got quick few question...I did my “timeline” so everyone can go base on that, my fiance she is from Ecuador, I mailed everything with USPS  the 27 of November 2018, they got it on the 30 of November 2018. On December 4  2018 I got my text alert from USCIS saying my case number and I should be expecting something in the mail I-797C. I paid using a credit card (that went well because there litte information about that). 

 

So to my questions...

 

I guess our journey will go on to 2019... When a natural year ends does any rules will change because of that? I mean the process overall.

 

Second I work in the federal goverment are they going to take that under consideration when investigating me? I guess what I want to say is... Is it faster based on that fact? 

 

Anybody else in the same boat as me filing in november?

 

Maybe my questions are silly🙂 (sorry for that) I just want to know

 

 

Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes you will get your NOA1 with your case number per mail.

There will be your casenumber on it which you can use to check your status on two websites (sometimes only one of them updates, mine for example never updated on the newer website).

Afaik they have a no RFE policy now, so i hope you submitted everything corretly. Also if there are any changes after that, it will not change anything for you, because they only apply the rules for petitions that come in AFTER the change.

No everyone gets treated the same.

Since you filed late november, i think your NOA1 is gonna have a december date. Other people with that filing month can be found in this thread:

No questions are silly, the members in this forum are very nice and helpful. Especially the user "Greenbaum" usually replies with a lot of useful info!

Wow!!! Thanks for the reply. I checked on the USCIS website it states that it was received on Nov 30th... but I should go by the actual date on the 797c that I will get soon in the mail right?

Oh if you already saw the receive date that should be your noa1.

Here is the link to the november filer thread, but since youre so close to both i would just keep looking at both threads:

Second I work in the federal goverment are they going to take that under consideration when investigating me? I guess what I want to say is... Is it faster based on that fact? I don't believe that it will be as they will probably do a fresh background check but I am not 100% sure.

 

Anybody else in the same boat as me filing in November? Check the November thread that Toastbear provided. The link was given and most who are the same meet to discuss and commiserate.
