I hope that puts your mind at ease a little about if your petition is at the correct place. Good luck

Thank you so much for your help.I really hope you guys get it done really soon

But you know we all make mistakes,you will never believe what we went through at the beginning of our process,it sucked really bad and that was because we did not read and get the info properly like we should of done.

Sometimes I feel like everytime I post on this message board, I am bitching and moaning. Something needs to go in our favor!

It seems that our petition (the 2nd time around) is once again screwed up! I am about to lose my mind! And then I come here and read the timelines and everyone receiving their NOA2. While I am very happy for those people, it brings tears to my eyes since we have been trying to get a NOA2 since June, 2006. And I call, what a joke that is...I can not get any answers! They only seem to get confused when I tell them the entire story and they see that there is another petition out there pending that has no activity since Oct. 06. I try and tell them that a laison said it had been "administratively closed" and that is why we had to refile. But the system does not show that. So there sits our 2nd application, and they can't tell me what is going on with it either. I just want to scream everytime I talk to them!

So I have been in contact with my Congressman and his assistant that handles immigration. I received this in an email on Friday:

"Greetings from the office of Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II:

Ms. xxxxxxx, thank you for contacting your Congressman's office, proudly serving the Fifth Congressional District of Missouri. Judging from the information you provided with our phone call it may be possible for Congressman Cleaver and/or his staff to look into this matter concerning your fiancés application for a K-1 visa. However the Privacy Act of 1974 requires that you complete the attached form in its entirety in order for the Congressman's office to work on your behalf. Once completed, please send the form to the District office using the information provided on the bottom of the form. If you have any questions please refer to the contact information following this communication.

Warmest regards, "

I also spoke to her on the phone and she said that they would do a congressional inquiry! I just have to fax over the Privacy Act plus copies of our application, etc. I will do that first thing on Monday and I hope hope hope that it doesn't take long to send out the congressional to CIS. I still have a wait in front of me but it gives me some sort of comfort that after almost a year of waiting (just for a NOA2), maybe somebody will be able to get to the bottom of this god awful mess!!!!

I will be crossen my fingers and toes this congress person goes in overdrive for you!

Regarding the RFE thing... I called USCIS and then followed the prompts for request for evidence. You should be asked to enter your WAC# and it will say something like please send all information requested or something like that. You can then press something to speak with a real person. I told that person I had seen that my application had been worked on 2 weeks ago and I hadnt heard anything, so I was concerned about an RFE. I was then told I had been approved the date of my 1st touch. Another option, though it may be too soon, is to try contacting the NVC at 1-603-334-0700. Press 1 for english and 5 to speak with a person. Best to try after 6 or early in the morning and you'll probably have to call back a few times before you can even be put on hold. Good luck!

Hav you considered DCF in Australia, last I heard visitors could.

Direct consular filing is possible in Australia, however that wasn't the best for us given our circumstances. We did consider several routes to take once we decided to marry and the K1 was the best for us. And the thought of starting something over from the beginning...well just can't seem to fathom it. Plus, we would need to marry first, is my understanding.

Has it been ok'ed again, I know there was a hold on it a while back, so it will be better to call and verify if you do decide to marry 1st

I cant believe all you have gone through, hope you hear soon
