Hi everyone!

Rob and I are almost at the end of our wait, or so we hope! I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much time elapsed between the medical and receiving the interview date? Rob had his medical two weeks ago and we haven't received an interview date, yet. I'm worried that it's going to be another drawn-out process when I was hoping to have him here in a month or two.

Any feedback or experiences?

OMG!!!!!! NOA2 APPROVED TODAY -- 11/8/12....Tooooooo Happppppy to find the words to express this WONDERFUL FEELING!!!!! It took 5 months, 3 weeks & 3 days from NOA1 (May 15, '12) to NOA2

WOW!! What an AMAZING feeling!! The loooong agonizing USCIS wait has come to an end....Jumping up and down ~ inside & out!!!

I got mine today also!!!! It's such an amazing feeling and I am so happy for you!

Thanks for the help... I filled out my timeline. I appreciate all of the advice and knowledge, although it's sad news for me.

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow will mark exactly four months since we received NOA1. Our application was sent to the Vermont processing center, and it says the average wait time is 5 months... but I am seeing a lot of people saying they received theirs in 78 days. Is there anyway to check on cases apart from the online tracker? I'm getting more and more heartsick...

Thanks,

Kendra

Finally we got approved!! YAY!! This site has been invaluable and we wouldn't have been able to get through this process without it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Fabulous, congratulations! How long did it take?

Hi Everyone!

First of all, I'm new to visajourney and hoping that I will get the help I need here. I will be more than happy to return helpful advice once I have some more experience on my plate.

I am engaged to a British man (a WONDERFUL British man), and I have been compiling all of the info needed to submit with the I-129f petition for the K1 visa. I was wondering if people have guidance on a couple of points:

1. Is there a specific, or recommended, method of enclosing the fee of $340? I have a check and was wondering if it should be attached to a piece of paper, placed in a separate envelope, etc?

2. Should the letter of intent to marry be anything extravagant? I found a very simple, general format and just used that. It says:

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

USCIS

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

March 29th, 2012

To Whom It May Concern:

I, Kendra Ann Hammond, do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry Robert Ulf Lilley and intend to do so within 90 days of his arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.

Sincerely,

Kendra A. Hammond

Does that sound OK, or should I do something in my own words?

3. Rob (my fiance) sent me a passport-style photo and I had to print it out on my own computer to save time. It isn't the BEST quality. Is this going to be a big deal?

4. For the G-325A, I had additional cells worth of addresses and employment. I just created a spreadsheet in a similar format to the ones on the form, filled them in, and attached the sheet to the original form. There are some things typed, some things handwritten on the original. Again, is this something that will affect the likelihood of being processed quickly?

I think that's all I have for now. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!

Best wishes,

Kendra
