Amos + Javi

we received our case # from NVC this week!!! they've instructed me to apply for the visa in the meantime. we're getting closer to our goal: to be together!

anyone have an idea in detail what will happen next ??

I hope TSC will find a solution in processing the petitions a little faster..perhaps hire more people...?

Wow...it can be frustrating.Will ask my man to call them. We're hoping and praying for some miracle s right now especially for TSC.

we sent our K1 petition May 22nd...and 21 days later...NOTHING not even an email of NOA1. are we the only one having this dilemma? to think that my fiance lives in Fort Worth. this is depressing.

Congrats to those who've received theirs. i'm happy to all y'all.

Amos/Javi if you filed 1145 with your packet you should get email or text any day now thats noa1 then a letter in the mail about a week latter and will state who is processing your petition.

yes we filed for 1145.we didn't receive anything so my fiance called their hotline and they gave us until Thursday to hear from them.If not we "call them again" they said. I hope for some reason our petition will be sent to CSC; seems like they're processing rapidly than any other centers.

Depends on where in the US the petitioner lives.

I-129F petitions currently are processed by the California Service Center (CSC) and the Texas Service Center (TSC).

California Service Center processes I-129f petitions for petitioners residing in: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Texas Service Center processes I-129f petitions for petitioners residing in: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

CSC is very fast and TSC is slow as hell. But anyway, on the NOA1 the Service Center where your case will be processed will be clearly stated.

NOA1 includes a file number also which begins with 3 letters and has several numbers after them:

WAC = CSC

SRC = TSC

Good luck!

Unfortunately, he lives in Texas....looks like we're on a long haul of waiting. thanks for the info Miss Diamond.

We sent out our k1 petition May 22nd...haven't heard from USCIS yet.it's making us jiffy.

Is it true that TSC is processing k1 visa then?

thanks everyone for the reply, these are all helpful :) ...been hiatus for the last few months.

hi everyone! i've been reading on this site for a while now and it has given us great tips and "aha" moments. My boyfriend and i have been in a long distance relationship for almost 3 yrs. now and we want to settle down soon.

I am a filipina and currently living and working in Thailand as a teacher. Initially, we have agreed to have our fiance visa processed here. But lately, I have been thinking of going home to the Philippines to have a long and break and eventually have our K-1 visa processed there instead.

My question is, how true are the allegations of red tapes and difficult processing there? Many have told me that it's easier to process outside of your own country? :(

I need to decide soon. Your advises and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
