My wife and her daughter entered the US on a k-1/k-2 visa. We were married this past weekend. What do we do next? I have quite a long list of forms and am a bit overwhelmed. Some of the things that arent clear: Do we need to file separately for daughter also? (I-485) etc.. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hello All!

Nicole had her interview yesterday and was approved. Yay! We were wondering how long the paper visa is currently taking in Manila, Philippines? We selected a pickup at 2go. Any body that has received their visa in Manila recently that could share the time to receive paper visa, we would really appreciate the information!

God Bless!

I received this same email a few weeks before my decision was received. At the time i was confused by it. But in my case, it preceded my petition being transferred from VSC to Texas. Texas approved our petition about a month after they received it. I can't be sure this is what your email means, but this is what happened to us after receiving the same email. I hope this helps...

we were approved (noa2) on june 19. i started calling nvc a few days later. the nvc originally told me 10-15 business days. then a few weeks ago the nvc started telling me 8 weeks. i have been calling them every day, sometimes twice a day. we finally got our mnl case number today. so it was one month for us. hope yours comes sooner!

We were approved (noa2) on June 19. Still waiting for case number from NVC. I have heard of some people approved on June 18 getting their case numbers in the last day or two. So we are hopeful that ours will be issued very shortly. And yours should only be a few more days also. When you call the NVC they are now quoting 8 weeks, but they were quoting 10-15 business days a few weeks ago. The same old bureaucratic inefficiency... Good luck!

We filed on 12/19/12. Our file was moved to Texas in early June and we were approved on June 19. (Now-Still waiting for case number from NVC.) In our experience, Texas did their job and got our approval out fairly quickly. Hope you get your approval soon!

I have been calling every day. Early seems best time. Other times I get many busy signals but keep redialing until I get an answer.

Yes! We were approved June 19th. Originally I was told that it would be 10-15 business days for case number. Now they are telling me 8 weeks. BS! My fiancee told me one of her friends that was approved on June 19 received their case number last Friday. I may be calling Congressman again today.

We filed for our K-1 on Dec 18, 2013. Last week we received the same two emails that many of you also received. The email informed us that our file was transferred to a local USCIS office for processing. Since we were told by an experienced immigration attorney that this was an 'unprecendented' move, we became concerned and inquired through several channels. We received information regarding our case which is now in Texas (not our local office). Texas is supposedly taking over many of the cases from VSC. We were told that Texas is aware that the USCIS is behind in these transferred cases. They are trying to expedite them to get back on track. Although we are skeptical that our case will get handled in a timely manner, we remain hopeful. The wait is sooooooo hard! Anyone else find out where their case is? Anyone have a case that was actually moved to a local field office?

Hi All. We just received the same email. According to an immigration attorney this is an unprecendented action. My hope is that this will simply lead to a quicker approval than than the VSC is capable of giving currently. But I wonder if these local field offices are prepared to do this type of visa quickly and efficiently??? I am calling my Representatives later today. And also the main USCIS inquiry number. I will post any information I get.

Stay positive and let's hope we all get our approvals very, very soon!

We filed on Dec 18, 2012 at the Vermont service center. If anybody has recently received their approval from VSC for a k-1, when did you file? Just trying to get an idea what dates they are currently processing now. Thank you very much.
