Congrats to all who got approved and also for the RFE cause that means you're gonna be approved soon!! Are there any may transfers who haven't heard anything or are all approved or gotten a RFE yet??

They won't work on cases filed in May for some time. TSC is working on DEC, JAn, and feb. VSC is working on Feb, March. CSC working on March.

Definitely suggest you send via courier of sorts next time.

However, opening of items in customs is fairly normal.

If they suspected anything wasn't what it should be, they have every right to open it.

Was there anything in the envelope aside from paperwork that could have been slightly questioned on an xray?

Any strange clips or clamps?

paper clips and staples.

Sounds like lawyer made mistake and has come up with excuse to cover his mistake. I was APPROVED last night. Ours was NOT notarized! One mistake I see often is that people leave out the sentence " I plan on marrying ____________ with in 90 days of arriving into the USA as per K1 visa requirements."

But, that being said, it is always best to go overboard and go beyond basic requirements for USCIS. So get notarized if you can.

Here is some FYI for those waiting at NVC. I went ahead last week and sent my financials, W2, bank statements, Stock accounts, personal info to my Fiance..She lives in Ukraine. Today she got my packet. Guess what??? It had been opened by someone in customs or post office. Anyway now I am exposed to identity thieft. Looks like next week will be spent doing damage control. I suggest you scan these documents concerning financials and email to your significant other. I-134 has to be original signature, so mail it, but be safe with your other information.

One of the first of the 2nd batch of transfers.

WeLL GUESS WHAT!!!!! This sucks: What the HELL is WRONG with these people!!!

YEA1 BABY!!!!!! " A country boy can survive" NOA1 of 1-25. NOA2 of 7-3

I hope they are not doing RFEs to get out of office quick for holiday , expecting to finish at a later date that is convenient for them.. I hope I don't get a RFE. Here is what I sent to USCIS:

why aren't people who got RFEs updating their profiles?

That sucks. Yeah, I will be avoiding the mail for that - the mail in the Philippines is horrible anyways. Thankfully I will be bringing it all to her in person when I fly out there in October and/or November, as I am planning on being there for the interview and we will schedule it for either of those two trips. Your idea of scanning is good too, but I wonder if they require originals, especially for the employer letter. Others may be able to chime in on that. It might be embassy specific too.

You could mail letter from employer, but email copies of W2, tax returns, check stubs, bank statements etc.

Here is some FYI for those waiting at NVC and TSC. I also was a VSC to TSC transfer. No NOA2 yet, but close. I went ahead last week and sent my financials, W2, bank statements, Stock accounts, personal info to my Fiance..She lives in Ukraine. Today she got my packet. Guess what??? It had been opened by someone in customs or post office. Anyway now I am exposed to identity thieft. Looks like next week will be spent doing damage control. I suggest you scan these documents concerning financials and email to your significant other.

almost all Dec, Jan and Feb K1 petition filers were transferred to TSC.

A June 21st transfer just got a message saying their adress has been changed

Also to u guys that got an RFE dont be downheartened its probably something so simple!

What was their NOA1 date

i sent in what you sent and just alittle extra proof of ongoing relationship............just dont understand why i got an RFE............i know, i know, stop complaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

don't forget to update your timeline.

Did you still still get RFE? Is the birth certificate required?

I pre loaded my application. I sent all my info, plus for Fiance: birth certificate, divorce certificate, Name change certificate - all with translations, 2 passport photos, her daughter birth certificate along with photo. Sent my financial info-134. I feel like I sent everything but kitchen sink. My NOA1 is 1-25. I am with 2nd batch of transfers, still waiting.

I included bith certificate with translation for my fiance. Some have gotten RFEs because the passport photo did not meet USCIS spec.

at least there is movement now. They must be cranking the files today! They are trying to complete as many files as they can before the 4th.

Oh!! Noooowww You see what I was saying earlier in the thread! LOL

It's like you can see WHICH Workers are working and which are dragging feet.. Check the dates of approvals... 2 (I guess easy ones) same date then one per day for the week then it starts again.. lol but some seem to approve one of their batch every week or so... sorted by NOA Date of course. RFE's seem to come the same way

Occasionally it seems there are certain stacks that start or finish with ONE from one NOA1 Date but the rest are all from another too... Yes I'm a Nerd... Yes I am letting my Geek Flag Fly.. lol

i dont think it is which person is working on what, i think it is more about which box of files they are working on

I wonder if anyone who was transferred to Texas in the second batch (June 21st) ever got approved... I don't think so.

So far, they have not started on 2nd transfers. They start with a NOA1 date around Jan 23/24. There may be a few around that date that were left at VSC. Today I read where a guy was complaining about VSC. He was a Nov filer still at VSC and no action still on his case.

I don't think the NOA2 is that important. What is important is the case number and invoice number that is needed to schedule the embassy interview and medical.

The pattern shows that they are working on batches. The main ones left without approvals / RFE appear to be from the dates: 12-7 to 10th, 12-14, 12-7, 12-20, 12-27/28, and from Jan are 1-3/4, 1-7 to 10th, 1-16, 1-22. All others look to be currently working on.

I was approved on June 18 th ... Still waiting for Texas to send my case to the national visa center .... Please .. I care bout your guys .. Find. Way to reach your senators now after approval to try to get them to send it to the nvc

It is hard to complain to Senators about bottleneck at NVC when they are still working on finding information about our case at TSC.As soon as I get approved, then I will be glad to jump on the bandwagon about NVC. My NOA1 is Jan 25.

someone is touching your file
