I think if you log on to your USCIS acct. there is a link for address change or else it is a form. You can and must change it.

A and D

Sorry to hear about your situation.

It would be nice to hear a bit more detail into the interview. What questions were asked, that sort of thing.

Oh, I am sorry...I know this is what everyone wants to know...but I will say that she did not ask any of the questions we had prepared for ie. age difference, my last marriage, religious difference.

They asked:

if he smokes hashish repeatedly (he is a reggae singer)

my mother and father's names, careers and if he had talked with them and what was said.

how we met

a lot about his music career, his band, his favorite band, his favorite song

about how I afforded four trips to Morocco in a year and a half

my ex-husband's name and then she proceeded to do background check on my ex and question Didi about all she found

He was there thirty minutes.

Then she said, "We will be in touch."

That is ALL.

Sorry for not including this earlier.

Allison and Didi

Sorry to hear about this can you share some information on what was asked at the interview and maybe because they gave him the passport he will have another interview at casa

I responded to the person before you with more detail about the questions they asked....

Oh, I forgot...

also they asked my address and phone number.

Thanks for your response,

Didi and Allison

Hello,

The same thing happened to me and my husband in 2010. I was there in Morocco when he went for his interview. He got a paper with "OTHER" checked as the reason. Tried contactig the conluate while I was there and was told I had to wait until the case got back to the states. I contacted my congressman and got nothing. When our case got back to the states I got a letter saying our case had been closed because the dates had expired....... This whole process will drive you to the brink of insanity...... We were married last year in Morocco and are now waiting to hear when his interview will be for the CR-1...

I wish I had advice to give...

I can only surrender to God, of course.

But

also

I PRAY that your situation does not become our situation.

We are just on our knees hoping for approval, even if another interview must happen.

Our best wishes to you both.

Allison and Didi.

And as for contacting the consulate....

should I begin now?

I already contacted my congresswoman.

I am eager to hurry this process up.

But I don't want to jeopardize our chances by harassing them.

Didi and Allison

Did they hand him any other paper that says 221g?

He was NOT given the 221g. What is the 221g?!?!

We are so lost and confused. He was ONLY given his passport and a receipt of payment.

And told they would be in contact.

period.

Help!

Any information would be so helpful1

Didi and Allison

So don't you think no 221g is a good sign? They still have his case and it wasn't sent back to USCIS.

I am hopeful. NO 221g (whatever that is...I must investigate)

and no word of sending our papers back to USCIS.

She said very little, actually..

Thanks for the help and positivity

Didi and Allison

Hello VJ..

Well, we had the interview only to have my man turned away with NO ANSWER!!!! The Moroccan U.S. Consulate in Casablanca spent 30 minutes with him and then handed him his passport and said he would be contacted. That is it. I know the outcome is unpredictable. But the endless wait is torturous. Does anyone have any positive stories to share after this scenario? I have contacted my congresswoman and will also contact the Consulate itself after a week or so. There was no indication of flaws in my fiance's performance. I just do not understand!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Blessings to all in wait.

Allison and Didi

Hallo VJers!

Hope everyone is finding patience and positivity in their wait!

We have received our interview date and packet today, 8-24-2102. The notice says it was RESCHEDULED for 10-9-2012. But this is the first we have heard of ANY interview date. We are confused. Is this due to Ramadan postponing things? We were hoping for a date earlier in September, to be honest. Does anyone know what this means? if the interview was rescheduled? without us receiving a prior notice?

We can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prayers Prayers Prayers

and INCHALLAH, approval!

Didi and Allison

Morocco to US

One Love!

Hey Allison, Imad hasn't heard anything yet, I am going to call NVC tomorrow and find out if they have gotten anything. It's been 2 weeks tomorrow since the approval. I wish you and Didi the best of luck on the rest of the journey and a great interview (L) This is so hard for the last part... I am so nervous and Imad says, don't worry my love, I know everything, lol. I am going to have a few people write a paper stating our relationship is real and I will ask him to have some people he knows do the same. Once again, best of luck on the home stretch :D

Nicky and Imad

Thanks Nicky!

Yes, call! I did so...they did NOT contact me. It just so happened their response was that it went out that day. Ironic. It had been 8 days. So, definitely call!

And I wish you the best of luck and prayer and destiny also! It is hard for us here at the end. Our patience seems to be short despite Ramadan and our best intentions. I want to do the letters from other loved ones too...but, I am so overwhelmed with work and barely able to get all my taxes and pay stubs and the chats and the call logs....ugh...it is just too too much! But maybe I can still get one before I send this packet out on Monday.

I think it is all just getting to me a bit. I am ready for it to be the drive to the airport in such a huge, huge way! Well, keep up the prayers, I guess!

Thanks for touching base! And I just know you two will be fine and come out of it all with flying colors!

Blessings,

Allison

when you received your NOA2 what is next to do?

After they tell you your app was approved it is sent to New Hampshire and you will receive notice or you can call to confirm its arrival. Then I called a week later to see if it was sent to my beneficiary's consulate. They should send word relatively soon.

Make sure you included email and texting on your app or else call and let them add that to their system. You want to stay on them though. You are on the right path.

Some have written me that the VCS is slow...but we did not experience that at all.

Blessings to your path!

Didi and Allison

Hallo, once again, VJers!

First of all, so much gratitude for all the replies you have given us, well wishes and tips.

Today the K-1 application left VCS for Casablanca. It is laden, as with us all, with kisses and wishes and prayers and some juju and full surrender to GOD.

We now await notice of its arrival and the infamous packet that will declare Didi's interview date and accompanying list of to-dos.

I am sending off papers that are my responsibility and we spent the wonderful summer together, our FOURTH visit, and have TONS of proof of our ongoing relationship.

PLEASE MY DEAR FELLOW FRIENDS AND STRANGERS...ANY TIPS FOR THE HOME STRETCH? ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING INTERVIEW, SPIRITUAL, PRACTICAL, DOCS AND POPO...ANY TIPS...

PLEASE SHARE! WE WANT ANY LEG UP WE CAN GET!

We are both sending best wishes to everyone facing this struggle. We are just a couple of months from our 2 year anniversary and the pain, the challenges, the frustration and discouragement are almost more than any individual can bear. We can only thank God for the patience and YOU ALL for the advice!

Didi and Allison

You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust.

~ Casablanca

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1.A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2.Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy

3.Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4.I-864 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5.You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-864. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-864.

6.A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7.Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Zagray did you by chance get to see any of this on here: If so, then disregard it, but its helpful in what she needs to send you.

THANK YOU! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! BLESSINGS!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I see it more clearly now!

I know I need to spend more time exploring this site, but I have been trying to not be so obsessed with it to bide the time more gracefully.

Thanks again!

A and D

It means they have approved your K1 visa petition and you need to wait until your service center send your case to NVC, then NVC will assign a case numbers before they forward your approved petition to the embassy where your fiance lives. Your NOA1 is april, it is amazing that CSC has reached to work on april's now.

Thank you! I now realize this IS the infamous NOA2! My spirits are so boosted. And yes, it seems to be trucking along, though a few seem to have received this notice today, as if there was a clearing of approved I129Fs...

Nonetheless, I feel like someone just put the air back in my deflated balloon! I can't WAIT to tell my love! This is indeed encouraging. I hope the NVC receiving and the interview date are soon to follow.

We just had a six week visit and the first days back apart are just killing us!

Blessings and best wishes to everyone!

Didi and Allison

HELLO FELLOW VJ-ers....

I received this notice from USCIS today and want to be elated...is this what is referred to as NOA2?

I am so confused!!!

Are we now awaiting interview date? Instructions for doctor's visit and police, etc.? I am LOST!

Any insight will be appreciated...I am just too nervous and suspect to jump for joy just yet!

WELL HERE IS THE EXACT WORDING FROM USCIS:

Post Decision Activity

On July 18, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

THANK YOU FOR ANY FEEDBACK YOU CAN PROVIDE US!

Allison and Didi

Hello all,

I am new here. It seems like it is a very usfual and helpful site. I just wanted to tell you guys a little about me. I am petitioning K1-visa for my fiancee. I am a US citizen and my fiancee is an Afghan national. I didn't know about this site, but it seems like I had done things correctly becuase my I-129F was approved with no RFE. Right now I am waiting for the embassy to contact us. Has anyone have any idea what to do and what to expect. Thank you all.

What does that mean?...."my I-129F was approved..."

I know what NO RFE Is..

but is NOA2 notification of 'approval'

without interview date

without medical and police?

I guess I am unclear even after reading the VJ site..

what the EXACT order is...

Thanks so much!

Surviving the wait...barely,

Allison and Didi

hey guys,

I am a little worried about the moroccan consulate as we approach the NOA2 and the home strech of the k-1 process.. I was wondering because i have read in some reviews they have declined people without even looking at there proof of realtionship and after they asked only one question.

Background on the Relationship:

USC: 22 Years old Male

Applicant: 20 Years old Fermale

Met in August 2011

Engaged December 2011

Chat History: 600+ pages

Pictures: 1500 Pictures

3 Trips so far to morocco

Both Families have met each other in morocco

She speaks French, Russian, Arabic, and English.. Her English is alright

Any tips for her?!

anything Im missing I really want her to pass her interview as I just bought a Condo recently and waiting for her arrival in chicago!!!

I second that word I have heard is that female beneficiaries have a significantly easier time in interview, particularly if the American is of the same faith.

However, my last flight to Morocco found me sitting next to a wonderful Islamic Moroccan woman who married her husband and was applying for CR-1 and was denied and had to go through the entire process a second time while her husband was in the states the whole time. She said she felt her lack of strength in speaking English was what went against her in the interview itself.

I wish you the best.

I just thought of that woman when I read your post and some of the other responses.

I am sure she will do great and be in Chicago in no time!

Allison and Didi

Welcome to the forum.

You have put the incorrect information in your timeline and on your profile, and you need to correct it to get relevant statistics. You sent your I-129F petition to the Dallas Texas lockbox facility, not the Texas Service Center. The lockbox facility receives and sorts the petitions to either the WAC or the EAC. The Texas Service Center does not adjudicate K-1 visa petitions. Your I797c (NOA1) notice will have a receipt number beginning with WAC or EAC, WAC = California Service Center, EAC = Vermont Service Center, change your information accordingly.

Barring any RFEs or other unforeseen problems, you may get your K-1 visa in December 2012 or January 2013.

Good luck on your visa journey.

OOOOOHHHH!!!

I see it!

I changed it!

I hope the estimates are right and it all about this autumn!

The wait, of course, is killing us.

But the next six weeks together will be just the fuel we need.

Thank you so much for your generous information so that I could right my course.

it left me with a little increased hopes.

Allison and Didi

Hi Allison, I have no info for you but just wanted to wish you best of luck I sent my petition for Imad Feb 1st and should hopefully be hearing very soon, Inshalla

Darling,

I wish you both all the best. It seems you are just one step ahead of us.

Therefore, I hope for you that word come soon, soon, soon!

I hope to be right behind you racing to the airport!

Good to hear from you!

Gratitude,

Allison and Didi

Hello VJ-ers...

Best of luck to ALL of you in surviving the process with your sanity intact.

My current concern is, having received NOA1 on April 2 2012, we are now in the wait for the NOA2, of course.

VJ and even National Averages listed at USCIS and also the dates and wait times on the timelines of others dealing with our same consulate ALL say 5 months (approx. of course).

HOWEVER

when I use the USCIS toggle system for estimates on the Texas Service Center specifically, which is where VJ instructs sending the initial application, say over 13 MONTHS!

I now know there is a USCIS processing center right here in Chula Vista, California, in San Diego, where I live! Their wait time is listed at the national average! I am mortified!

Our application is sitting in Texas just waiting in piles of others and now we may be waiting for up to a year more?!?!?!

SOMEONE PLEASE ASSURE ME THIS IS NOT TRUE!

I still see on VJ that there are US/Moroccan NOA2s occurring within the 5 month national average.

It is simply that one toggle system (I hope you all know what I mean) that has my heart in additional knots.

I leave in one week to spend six with my fiance, so there is some solace there, of course. But we HAD hoped that soon after would be the interview and APPROVAL finally bringing us together after the entire 2 year ordeal. (and I know some of you have had even more to deal with and approval is no guarantee, but optimism is my armor.

Blessings to each and every person facing this most challenging love.

Stay true to the connection and believe...

Thanks for any feedback you can give us regarding this apparent contradiction.

Allison and Didi

The Lockbox in Texas is where all I-129F petitions are sent, then they reroute them either to California or Vermont, usually by the state where the petitioner lives.

I did not know this information. I have been freaking out about my Moroccan I129F application as the Texas Service Center says a horrific waiting time while VJ posts my expected time of projected interview as much sooner. So, TX just takes in all the apps and will send mine back to California where I live? I can't stand the wait, just like all of us, I know. I check every single day like a dork and am so disappointed to hear nothing. But April 2 was my NOA1...so I know I must do my yoga and practice PATIENCE. Am I now overstanding you correctly?

... Allison and Didi

Today I am just returning from Casablanca Morocco. His visa was denied. We both so heart broken. I know this is not the reason, however they asked what kind of medicine I am on. He said he was not sure of name. The man for interview said to bad, your denied. No reason given to him. We just don't understand. Planning to get married soon and apply for the visa 3k. ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH this is so heart breaking.

I am SO sorry to hear about your SO's denial in Casablanca. My SO and I await his interview. I cannot imagine being in your shoes, but I know I must be ready as it is so common. Blessings to your endeavors from here on out. Yes, do veer toward the marriage VISA; it offers so much more and is the frequent next step after a K-1 denial.

My questions are:

1. When you mention medications, are you saying USCIS knew about your condition from YOU, the petitioner, due to your changed flight?

2. How many times have you visited Morocco to be with your SO prior to the interview? How long was your relationship prior to the interview?

3. This is the ONLY question that your SO could identify as the snafu in the interview? How is his English? Was he comfortable answering their harsh interrogation in general?

Well, I wish you both the best.

Allison
