hi guys,

i need your help. last 2010 we filed our k1 application. unfortunately, my fiance filed it online, (he got confused when he filed it.) He had been calling USCIS for the updates, but apparently they're having a hard time tracing our papers, although they encashed the money order. We hadn't received NOA1 or case number yet so the supervisor (customer-service in USCIS) told him to start the application over again and they told him that they will just refund the money. After a few weeks, he got back his money. My question is, if i will be interviewed by the consul, and ask me if i have filed k1 petition before, should i state my previous case? will they able to track my former application even if we had no case number yet? i know i should tell the truth during the interview, but will i include this if ever they'll ask me if i have previous k1 application? thanks for your help..

OP...... This is your answer.

thanks =)

Yes, that is the requirement of a K1. your fiance needs to make a plan to visit you again and then refile. Probably needs to stay two or three weeks if possible. Take plenty of pictures with dates, save all receipts of purchases and def save all boarding passes.

thanks!!! i appreciate all your answers!!! =)

its sad but you have to have met in person at least once in the last two years........

so even if we met in person last 2008, we still need to see each other before filing the k1? thanks sara.. =)

and so we need to re-file our petition. my question is, can my fiance file it now if we haven't seen each other for 3 years now. Last time he went home was november 2008. i'm confused with the requirement which says "You met each other, in person, at least once within 2 years of filing your petition. "..i need your help...

We are so blessed and happy that my k1 visa got approved in 72 days! We are so excited to start our life together. We never dreamed that it would happen so quick, we thought it would take until March or April. We worked very hard gathering our information and preparing, but i was like maybe it would save us more time and we wanted to avoid any rejection so we decided to hire an imigration agency also because me and my fiancee dont have a picture together. During the preparation for this process, i did some research and got this expedite request idea from this website visajourney. My fiancee being an active military, we requested expedite and got approved. Soon after the expedite approval i checked online through the uscis tracker our case and saw that our petition got approved! my fiance called NVC to see if they receive it yet, he called them twice, we have always been courteous and nice when we call which i believe helped a lot. they gave him the case number. We have been so proactive the whole process, so i called US embassy manila to see if they received the approved petition. I didnt wait for the packet to arrive since the rep from the embassy said i can just go to the bank (BPi) to make a paymnet and schedule an interview after. All went well and now i am just waitng for my visa to arrive.

And now we will be together forever

Congratulations!!! by the way, I want to ask about the immigration agency that you guys hired. We'll file our application again and we want to do this right. Salamat.. =)

Ummm, they called him and asked for his DL? Wouldn't that be an RFE? Other members may have better, clearer answers, but this doesn't seem right at all. No USCIS agent will encourage anyone to check another website other than the goverments. I may be wrong though. USCIS sends either an email or a text message advising petitioners of our NOA1 or NOA2. They do not call, as far as I recall. I do not think your SO is being truthful. I'd ask proof of payment (the $340. filing fee). If s/he can produce a receipt or a bank statement, I'd believe this to be true. If not, your SO either sent the wrong documents again or sent them somewhere else... or simply hasn't filed.

This is great advice! Ask for a copy of the entire packet.

they asked for his DL because it was expired and he was renewing it at that time.

You know they have your application, patience or lack of the the story on this K-1 game. Every time we about gave up we were on to the next step. Glad you found VJ, hang in there follow the Guides and read about everyones progress. Good Luck. Look at your copies make sure all your return addresses are good. We it sent to our PMB but they sent to home mail box.

how long did you wait for your NOA1? how come others have shorter delivery dates on their NOA1?

HI GUYS, I NEED YOUR HELP BADLY. MY FIANCE FILED K1 VISA LAST NOVEMBER 2010, he made a mistakes by filling the I-129F through email, he overlooked the instruction and no one advice him that he made a mistake. it was only last week of july 2011 that we found out about his mistakes (thank goodness i found visa journey). He called the customer service and he was advised to send all the documents in Texas lockbox and she even advised him to read details here in visa journey. we we're able to send all the documents on september 28, 2011 and they receive it last Oct 6. They called him after that and they asked him to send his renewed driver's license and he was able to send it last november 3. We waited for 3 weeks for the NOA1 but we did not receive anything. Then on November 28, USCIS called him and said that the NOA1 its on its way and they said that they will pro-rated or back-dated (i dont know the term) the processing of our application to november 23 because they said we should have received it on that date. We waited until december but we did not receive anything. Then we called last week of december 2011 and told us to wait until january 2012. I need your advice on this, we need your help.
