Hi all, My fiance is in the process of preparing packet 3 in Scotland and I am trying to sort out everything out for the i134. I have a few questions about the i134 though.

My fiancee and I traveled and worked abroad for a year and a half after I graduated college (we met a year before I graduated). Once we returned I got a full time job in August and we applied for the k1. I worked full time until June (earning enough to qualify as his sponsor). I then took a month and a half to visit him and then returned to the US and began a new full time job in mid August. Saying this, my most recent tax returns only have a couple of months of pay, and because I was out of the country I do not have any for the years before. I do have a contract from both my old job and my new one stating my income, as well as pay slips for my old job. I haven't received a pay check for my new job and won't for a while.

I heard tax returns were the main supporting documents they will look at in London. Would my contracts be sufficient? Or should I get a co sponsor? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi everyone! my fiance and i are preparing for his interview at the US embassy in london. I have my tax return statements for the last two years, a letter from my employer, bank account information, and pay slips. I graduated from college in 2010 then spent that entire year and a half working and traveling around the world with my fiancee. Upon my return I worked full time from September through June and then moved and started a new job this month, August. I earn enough money, but looking at my tax statements it is not evident.

Do i need a co sponser because i have only been working for so long? and will the break in employment cause problems?

I feel your pain, really. I'm in the Vermont Service Center and my response would take all of five minutes to review and approve. Have you heard anything yet?

Yeah just got a letter saying my second RFE is one the way. Maybe i misread something on the first RFE because my eyes were so full of tears. Good luck to you. Hopefully you don't have the same coming your way!

Can ANYONE sympathize? We send in out i129f in late October and then recieved an RFE in March and they recieved our response on March 21. After 60 days, I filed a service request and we were ordered to wait ANOTHER 25 days! Our RFE was because I didn't check one box. ONE BOX. that shouldnt take over 2 months to check. My fiance and I have been together for over 3 years traveling together full time for half of that time. We are a completely legitimate couple in love. It makes me so angry that this process is taking so long for us whereas I have heard of others who have done it for the wrong reasons have their visa within their hand within months. AH! Anybody had a similiar experience???

We got an RFE for the same thing on March 17 and they received our reply on the 21st and we STILL haven't heard anything. Has anyone else had the same wait? AAAHHHHRRRGGHHHHH

My timeframe with my fiance´ is very close to yours as we applied in October and received our NOA 1 on October 26 and we also received RFE on the 29th of March... We have not reached the 60 day mark but I already have a Request for Service in the process. You don't have to wait for the 60 day mark to pass. It's been only about 30 days since the RFE but when I called in I told them that the entire case including the RFE timeframe was beyond the 5 month mark projected and the USCIS employee immediately opened a Request for Service for me and provided me with a referral number to check in on it.

My suggestion would be to call them and tell them your case has exceeded the projected 5 month period and that you'd like a Request for Service to be processed. Good luck.

Thank you, it is for some reason comforting knowing that other people are experiencing the same excruciating wait. I just called and the employee told me that I could only file a service request after the 60 day wait. You must have lucked out and gotten through to a very generous person!

Thanks for your reply. I think all of us going through this process can agree that our anxiety levels are heightened and that causes a bit of over analyzation. You are right I should only worry once we #### the 60day mark.

I got an RFE on March 17 for the same reason ?? so so frustrating. Does anyone have any idea of the processing times for these sort of situations?! We've been waiting since October.

Hi everyone,

I applied for a K1 in late October and received my noa1 on October 25. On March 17 I received an RFE stating that I had forgotten to check one box on the i129. ??I sent the request back the next day and the service center received it march 21. it is now April 28, and we have yet to receive a decision even though our reason for RFE seemed quite simple to process. Should I be worried it has taken so long? Has anyone else received an RFE for mistakes on the forms? I am just so tired of waiting and frustrated with the whole process!
