    This Type Of Proof Of Relationship

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    I've learned so much about bringing evidence to the interview, and how much it's looked at, by reading on Visa Journey. My Fiancee and I are through the NOA2 approval point, so now she is getting ready for the eventual interview day (Guangzhou, China Embassy). I have tried to tell her to relax, but she wants to leave nothing to chance, bless her heart! :P She has printed over 100 pages of Yahoo chat, many, many, photos, she wants me to bring 3 years tax returns, and a whole year of pay stubs and bank account records. I have learned from VJ that this is a bit of overkill :wacko: , but it makes her feel more certain, so I am going along. It just means we will have a lot of "dead weight" going along with us to the interview. I do love her so much!(L) Good luck to you finishing your Journey!

    NA02 Approved woohoo!

    Congratulations! :thumbs:

    I never really stressed at all while waiting for my NOA2, because I knew in advance that the initial USCIS part would take 5 months. So I was expecting that (Actually beat 5 months by a couple of weeks).

    What has been frustrating and stressful for many of us posting on the VJ site the past month, is that after our NOA2 approvals, we all expected about a 2 to 3 week gap until we had our case number with NVC, based on historical timelines, but suddenly many of us have been waiting for 5 or 6 weeks for any news at the NVC. The California service Center seems to have been especially guilty of a delay in forwarding petitions to NVC lately. :whistle:

    Hopefully things with USCIS and NVC get working more efficiently, and your wait for a case number at NVC is not long.

    Well, as you can see, I am on 6 weeks, soon to turn into 7 weeks since my NOA2 approval. I at least got it confirmed that it is the fault of the USCIS CSC, and not the NVC, with the "promise" it will get to the NVC "within 1-2 weeks". I must say, I was impressed with the way my congressman's "Constituant Services Manager" got right on the case for me, and at least made the USCIS respond to her.

    There are several threads like this one about getting the NOA2 approval, and the long delay in getting NVC case number (there are a couple of threads on this in the NVC discussion forums). I posted this last night about my case in one of the NVC forums....

    Still no case number here - since May 9 and counting from CSC. Here is an e-mail I got from Carol Wieneke, who works for my local Congressman (yes, I started asking for his help)...

    Hi Carol,

    The I129F will be sent to the NVC in approximately 1-2 weeks.

    The contractor is a bit backlogged in sending files out to the NVC, and are committed and will be making every effort processing cases in an expeditious fashion as soon as available under their resource constraints.

    Thank you,

    Immigration Services Officer l DHS-USCIS

    So it looks like what Darnell said about this subject last week is right, the outsourcing to this contractor screwed the whole process up!......:bonk::crying:

    Maybe contact your representative too. Can't hurt.

    Child Follow-to-join on K2 within one year question

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Dear VJ members, I have a question about a child follwoing. I was planning on sending this question to the Embassy in Guangzhou as soon as they get my case from NVC (have the NOA2 approval, but waiting on NVC at this point). Here is the question: My Fiancee's son wants to "follow-to-join" on her K1 visa within a year. The thing is, he wants to finish his middle school this coming school year (living with her Ex), and then will follow to join next June. He would then start his high school years here in the states with us. I anticipate an interview date for my Fiancee sometime in August. So if he doesn't follow-to-join until next June, that is 9 months later. I know he can get a K2 within a year of her K1, but if he went for the K2 right away (same time as her), would he have only the six month limit-of-use time frame like her K1, and would he therefore need to wait about four or five months to apply for his K2 based on her K1, so that next June would fall within a six month time frame, or is a K2, once issued, good for the entire year? Any insight is much appreciated!
