I'm sorry that you have to wait this long. It rarely happens, but last month we have someone from here who had the same thing happened to her and her fiance. After trying many ways to contact for assistance in their case, it eventually takes 8 months for them to get approval notice. I hope yours won't take that long.

A lot of people are still waiting who filed in Feb and March. I don't want to lose my patience I know it's hard to wait until 5 or 6 months, but this is normal processing time.

Some people here on VisaJourney has a 25 years age difference, they still have a successful visa process. As long as you have a genuine relationship, you should not worry about this.

Please fill in your timeline when you get the receipt notice and your NOA1 (priority date).

That's nice to hear. Congratulations!

If she could not understand, she should have asked the CO to explain what they really meant by that. She should not answer without certain understanding. Lack of proof to show the CO and her uncertain answer to the question along with how she was nervous, these must have led the CO to not believe that this is a genuine relationship (relationship for immigration purpose only). Please don't get me wrong I'm not saying your relationship is for immigration, but this is on the CO's mind based on the letter you attached on an early post.

Believe it or not, miracle can happen any time we don't expect. Anyway, congratulations!!!!....and hope this is not system broken.

It feels so much harder to wait now that I know we'll be getting our NOA2 soon. One of the hardest things about this process - aside from being apart of course - is the total lack of communication from the USCIS, I'd be going crazy without visajourney!

You have the same date of NOA1 as me. It is painful to be apart. Let's keep praying and believing that it will come soon.

Did your fiancee bring any evidence that she could gather on her own (besides the ones that you sent to her) to the interview? Was she able to answer confidently questions the Consular Officer asked her regarding you and the relationship? Was she nervous and scared anything that could appears suspicious to the Consular Officer?

Yes, it should be $18000 for two people, that's what required. For K1 visa, your fiance need to bring form I-134 along with supporting documents (recent income tax return,employment letter, paystub, bank statement...) as evidence of your income to the interview.

On the form they ask where your fiance will go for her interview, she can go to the embassy in Saudi Arabia or in the Philippines as she thinks would be easy for her.

If it could cheer people a bit, today there's someone got approval for petitioning spouse at CSC, his NOA1 is March 01.

Are you petitioning spouse or fiance? if for fiance (K1 visa), it's better to find out if the embassy in the beneficiary's country accept co-sponsor. I know in some countries in the third world, they don't accept co-sponsor for fiance visa (K1 visa).

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also an early march NOA1, but still waiting. Ours is at VSC.

My fiance passport size pic is also a bit smaller than mine. I think it should be fine. We'll have to wait and see if we ever get a RFE for that. So you are not the only one who have this minor problem.

You don't need to send them a lot, just 2 or 3 pictures is good to go for filing petition. You may need more than 10 pictures for interview at the embassy.

There's only two months left, but how long can I be patient, I cannot stop myself from checking case status after it passed 3 months. How is everyone doing?

I hear you, so it looks like you have 3 months to go!!!

same here, because the VSC wait time is now double!!

It's just a matter of time, we will receive our notice of approval or if we have to respond to a RFE sent by them. God bless each and everyone of us who are really passionate to be with our loved ones and who are being patient during this process.

Ok well I'm sorry if you feel I'm being impatient.

I was told on March 19th by a Tier 2 that we would have an answer in 2-3 weeks....I have been MORE THAN patient because we have waited those 2-3 weeks PLUS 2 more months on top of that.

I've never been away from my husband this long, and as most people here know, it's hard. Also, I am having issues that I'm dealing with at work at the moment. We need to get things settled or at least moving in some direction in order to get everything else worked out.

We have reasons more than just missing each other to try to get things going a little faster but unforuntately it doesn't "technically" fit under any of the expedite criteria, we are doing the best to just "hang in there" but there are reasons that we can't just sit around and wait it out after we've already been told on 3 occassions that we would have an answer in a few days and then were told to contact a senator or congressman.

When we applied the average time at VSC was 3-3.5 months for NOA2. I don't think it's unreasonable to be upset and want to get things moving... we waited out the time we were told to. Now I was just asking for advice on where to go from here. You don't need to claim that I'm being impatient... you don't know anything about what we've gone through to this point with our case.

On another note. Just to let you know that we are with you through this whole process. Wish your NOA2 will come soon.

I don't understand how people can be so impatient at times. We know that it can be quick as it can be late, so why not give it to nearly 6 months and see what happens. It is more likely that after 5 months or nearly 6 months it will be worked on and this happens in a lot of cases. They are under much pressure from all applications and cases being sent everyday. I hope people will consider this fact, instead of driving themself crazy and frustrated over this process.

Someone can write nice things about something. Of course, personally I don't think you need it. Just focus on the evidence that shows communication between the two of you. How your fiancee respond and act during her interview is what counts.

It can happen less than 5 months. Not all that need to wait that long.

This is for I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker

For us, we made our story clear and concise to the question, just a few lines. I think yours is too long.
