Hi VJ's,

I have some queries about Question 32 of the DS 156 form.

"Do you intent to work in the US?"

Options are yes and no.

If you tick of No, does it mean you don't get your work permit later on?

I plan to work in the US but not in the first months.

Thanks in advance for your replies

The Case Number is the one from the NVC. God bless on your medical and rest of the journey!

Thanks!

Hi VJ's

I have my medical appointment next week and need for that the case number. Is the requested case number the one from the NVC or do I receive a new case number from the embassy?

Thanks

Hi German fellows

we got our NOA2 finally. To avoid any delays from my side I like to prepare as much as possible before I receive package 3.

Is it possible to do my medical now or do I have to wait for the NVC case number?

Can I request the police certificate now? I expect to have the interview in approx. 3 months.

Beside the € 180 fee, are there additional charges?

Thanks for all the replies in advance

We got a RFE because my fiance didn't send in enough proof of our meeting - he had to send in more evidence! It's not enough just to fill out the form and say 'we met on X date' - you have to provide photos too And then he got another RFE because they needed more financial information from him. Combined the two held us up for three months which seemed like an eternity but wasn't really a big deal.

Hi ,

we got a RFE because we didn't wrote BY HAND the date & location on the photos. Plus they asked for affidavits that confirmed that we met in the past 2 years.

My fiancé just got an email. Our petition has been approved!!!!! What a way to start the new year!!!

Woohoo!! Congrats!!

Thanks, I just received an email from uscis stating that they mailed me a request for evidence 12/13/2012 which will be the second request. I don't know if this has something to do with me calling today about not getting a reply to the evidence i sent in july, or if they need more evidence. I am just happy to see something other than initial review when I check the uscis website

Hi,

glad that you were able to sort some issues

Please make sure that you send the further requested evidence in time (60 or 90 days) and that you receive a confirmation of the documents you send. That can take a few days. The good thing is as soon as VSC received the evidence you should get your NOA2 in a couple weeks.

Don't wait the 60 days!!

Good luck with the process

Sorry to hear that.

I just found out that we were denied too. Crappy, crappy day.

Sorry to hear that. Do you mean your case is completly denied or did you receive a RFE? And what was the reason?

Stay strong and patience! We had to reapply too.

You get used of waiting

Good morning to everybody,

I read a lot of topics here and they were really useful, better than the embassies instructions...

As the title says I went to the interview and they denied my visa with a "section 212 (a)(4) which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone likely to become a public charge"

This is because only my fiancee's mother filled the I-134 and they said it's not enough, the interviewer just handed me the paper and sent me away.

The interviewer didn't even told me what to present in order to meet the requirements for the affidavit.

Both I and my fiancee are still studying, I'm unemployed and my fiancee has a part time job and so we thought my fiancee's mother's affidavit would suffice. It's not like this.

What are your experience with the affidavit?

Even if we are unemployed can I get the visa?

Is it enough to show she has enough money for both of us in assets and in the bank account?

I'm still shocked by what happened.

Both of us are scaried by the fact we may not see each other for a long time.

I hope someone here could give us some clear answers.

Hi,

I'm really sorry to what happened to both of you. I suggest to get in contact with an immigration lawyer. If the petitioner has not a sufficient income, a US sponsor (so far as I understood, your fiancee mother) should be okay. Good luck for a speedy clarification.

Hi July Filers,

I'm waiting since December 2011. We had to refile the appolication in July. Hopefully everything goes smooth and QUICK!!!! now. Tired of waiting

According to the estimated VJ timeline I can expect NOA 2 beginning of January. I don't mind beginning of December

Good luck everyone !

I just noticed last night, that USCIS at VSC, has lowered their wait time for K1 visa from 6 months to 5.6 months, does anyone think this new information posted by the web site, actually means anything? I watch this site close, and it does certainaly seems that VSC is approving K1 visa's much quicker than in the past! Any comments would be appreciated! Raven

Raven,

you are correct. However, it doesn't mean that your case will be processed within this time. The processing time is monthly updated and can change next month back to 6 months. Let's hope VSC tries to beat California when it comes who does faster approvals

Hi, talking about copies. There is a difference between Xeros copy and copy. I rather spend the money and get Xeros copies as close as to the original document. If you need copies such as copies from a divorce document etc, you have to apply for a certified copy which has nothing to do with a Xeros copy. Make sure what exactly is required. Good luck!!

WOW....this is the first time EVER I have heard of the same case getting a new number and starting over.

Hope somebody can tell about a similar circumstance.

Yes, the dates ofn the original divorce documents differed. Yeah, I have no words for that too. Anyhow, comments are welcome that helps to enlighten this strange and frustrating case. Thanks for your replies.

Hi everybody,

We received a RFE in April 2012 and responded in time. USCIS wanted a certified copy of my fiances divorce decree and not just a copy. Anyhow, the requested document was submitted in time. Now the RFE will be denied because the dates of the divorce copies were not matching. We immediately received a new case number and the application will be under new initial review.

Does anyone was in this situation and how long will it take to get the NOA2?

Thanks for your replies.

Just like to know how many weeks does it usually take for USCIS to give a response when they received/review one's RFE submission? (I know max time is about 60 days)

First of all, it depends which service center is dealing with the RFE. CSC is much faster in processing than VSC right now. Personally, we are waiting for 18 days after Vermont received the requested document. I'm afraid it will take even the same amount of days until we receive the NOA2 finally. sigh...

Usually within 2 weeks of responding to your RFE you should have approval. Wish you the best.

Hi, I doubt that it will take "only" two weeks. Currently you can be happy when you receive the NOA2 within 60 days :-(( Vermont slowed down so much, unbelievable!!

Hey! I've been reading some posts and I saw lots of complaints about this VC being so slow on sending the NOA2? Specially January filers! Does anyone has the same complaint on any other 2012 months ?? I just filed now on June, I was hoping to be with my love late November!! :/

Hi Catarina, it really looks like that VSC has probems with the processing time. However, many people didn't update their data. The whole K1 visa processing is so frustrating. E.g. it took 2 weeks for them to "receive" the requested document for our RFE.

Let's hope that for some reason the VSC gets quicker and we all get our visas soon.

Good luck to everyone

Hi December Filers

We initially filed 12/09/2011 and received NOA 12/15/2011. According to Igor's list we shoud get the so much wanted approval in the next 2-4 weeks.

Good luck to everyone!
