Neetz

YAY! exciting!

p.s neetz, out of curiosity, have you checked cases around yours - are you the only to have heard or was there a little run of case numbers that had action taken?

Cheers!

I had a check either side and we seem to be the only ones that have heard anything, all others 20 either way are still in initial review. Had to know how they do it, but i am not complaining for us, and i am hoping all you guys are just a day or 2 away......

OMG!!

Update for RFE, hard copy received 9th May, i-129f was received by USCIS on Jan 31st! It seems that whoever is processing our file did not realise or understand that Irish Courts use the English language for documents and they thought we just sent the translated version of my Irish Divorce, so the RFE was for the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS, which of course they already have!!! We just had to certify that it was not a translation, which they should receive tomorrow. So fingers crossed NOA2 on its way in next 2 wks (Maybe sooner!!!) Will keep you all posted.....

Sorry to hear this, but keep up your momentum and get them what they want... you will have that NOA2 in no time! They seem to come pretty fast after you give them the info they are looking for. Good luck!

Thanks! i have everything crossed......the annoying part is not knowing what they want, why they could not tell you in the text/email i can't understand have to wait for hardcopy, but it all part of the journey! Good luck to you too!!

i'm sure it's something easily fixable, and you'll be approved as soon as you reply - it's definitely progress, good luck!

Cheers!!...Keeping the Faith, at least they are looking at the file and as ours was very end of Jan it follow that other filers in Jan should be hearing something this week! Best of Luck to you ......

you'll be fine they just probably lost something and asked to to send it again keep us posted

What time did your fiance get a text at?

Yeah, or want further info on Irish Law as i am divorced! He got the text at just b4 1pm EST and i got an email at 5pm Irish time. I hope to be able to give them what they want by return post so they should have it by friday. Had a quick look at others who had RFE's and once USCIS received info back most got NOA2 in a week so maybe we will get lucky and have it by end May, that would be so awesome...keeping the faith and positive now is the most important thing........

Cheers for the encouragement, i sure hope it is just a simple thing,(i thought we sent everything but a DNA sample, lol) we wont know that for a day or so, but yeah it seems once you send it back asap they are quick with an NOA2, fingers crossed..........

Heads up Jan filers......VSC received our 129f on 31 Jan, today we got a text for an RFE, so they ARE working on Jan. I was not expecting an RFE to be honest but there you go! Not sure what it is for as yet have to wait for hardcopy, but i guess the good news is they are working on Jan filers, so keep watching.......

As far as i know you can bring up to but not over 10,000 cash into the US at POE, i believe it is USD amount, if you have more than that then it has to be declared on the customs card they give you to fill in on the plane/airport. I am basing this on travelling from Ireland...hope this helps, but it might be wise to check it out on the Dept of State site in case it has changed or is different for each country. Good Luck!

To my knowledge from what i have read and having travelled on VWP (which i assume is the same for you as you had to do an ESTA) you CAN NOT change status while on a wavier visa, it is a huge NO NO!! Don't do it......it will be declined and you will have breached the wavier rules and be in trouble. You will need to leave and then file a K3 or CR1, but for your own peace of mind check it out on USCIS (VWP) or your home US embassy site. This information applies for Ireland and i believe it is the same for all countries granted VW visits.

Slainte!!

Depends on the country, in Ireland medical is valid for 1 year.

Hi,

This is how it works when travelling on VWP from Ireland and i guess the same applies to all VWP countries. You apply online for the ESTA and paid the fee, the wavier is valid for 2 yrs before you need to pay again. When you pay the fee you get a wavier number which you can print and the expiry date is on that. Each time you want to re enter the United States you have to update the VWP as follows....................

• You previously submitted an application for an electronic travel authorization and you want to perform one of the following:
  • Determine the status of your travel authorization application.
  • Update your travel authorization application.
  • You saved your application information and want to return to it to pay the fee.

Passport Number *

The passport number may contain numbers and/or characters. Please closely distinguish between the two, such as the numbers zero and one, and the letters O and I.

then you are good to go. Once you do not over stay the 90 days allowed, all will be good. I have been in and out on the same WVP many times only stayed 2 weeks each visit . POE has never been a problem, once you are honest and have nothing to hide. Hope this helps!! Enjoy your time in the USA.

Me too, another Jan filer, bring it on!!!

Hi

I am in Ireland and playing the waiting game too! If you want to chat i am a good listener,lol....though not in the UK but a stones throw away and i think the process is similar for both you and I. So feel free to mail me. Patience is a virture in the K1 journey and i too find it hard but if it worth having it is worth waiting for!!!...right??

Cheers,

Anita
