Thank you very much for that tidbit. good to know. Will do.

Ok so my question is this now that I have received the NOA2 what is next? I mean from my reading I know that it is now time to send to the NVC to process for the local consulate. But what I don't kow and have not come across is exactly what needs to be done within these stages. If someone can either respond or direct me to the right location for the information I am looking for, woul dbe very greatful. Additionally, are there any fees to be paid at this step? is it like the I-130 where you have to pay the affidavit of support and vias processing fee, and if that is the case what is the cost? I have done the I-130 before and know those fees exist and have to be paid to the NVC prior to the case being forwarded to the consulate but haven't found any indication of such for the K-1. Anyone who has already done this stage of the process your advice and feed back would be really helpful. Thank you to all in advance.

OMG!!! I just got a text that my case has been updated. Went on the website and there it was guys my case is now at post decision status. Checked my e-mail and it says that the notice was mailed out today so it looks like TSC is starting to do some approvals. Check yours out. I hope more of my fellow November filers get the same news as me.

Sparkle I hope that you too get your NAO2 as well since we have the same timeline. I am praying for you.

So am guessing that all the offices are back to regular operations and open once more? Hopefully that will mean that some of us November Filers can start getting some responses

Sparkle I really think you should have heard something by now. Don't know how helpful this may be but try calling them with my case I called them 3 times during the waiting period before receiving my NOA2. The first time they told me do not call until 5 months had passed, couldn't wait so I called a week later and they told me that they were only processing May 2013 filers so therefore my petition was on track and had 5 months worth of petitions ahead of mines to process and it would take a while. on the third attempt which was a 3 days prior to getting my NOA2 I was told that my case did not have a decision but that it was looked at and nothing was pending or missing and that same week on the 12th I got the text at 9:30 pm. Not sure if my calling really did anything but it did give me peace of mind to actucally speak to a live person about my case that gave me some information. I would like to think that it was my calling that helped but who knows with these people and the way they operate. Mines could have been a case of sheer luck and nothing else. I really hope that you and everyone waiting hear something soon.

After a long weekend off I am back and just checking in with you guys, any one received any of the NOA that they are pending from november filers to TSC? I am hoping that you guys did already and if not that they send you a response soon. Good luck to everyone.

I hope that you guys get word before then too.

The First Step: Filing the Petition

You, the U.S. citizen sponsor, must file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the USCIS office that serves the area where you live. See Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) for information on where to file the petition. Further information is available on the USCIS website under Fiancé(e) Visas. Note: Form I-129F cannot be filed at a U.S. Embassy, Consulate, or USCIS office abroad.
Upon approval, USCIS will forward your petition to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will give you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where your fiancé(e) lives.

Craziness indeed. I think the VJ dates are predicitions based on the timeline updates of other users. That's why in a previous post I declared that I am no longer going to refer to it as mine has changed constantly from day one.

Hey my fiance and I have been waiting for a while now to be together so I think we will be able to survive another year apart though difficult. Yes we only started a romantic relationship with each other a year ago but we have know each other way before that and had been friends. And it's funny how we were both secretly attracted to each other and never really acted on it until now. Truely believe that nothing happens before its time and everything happens for a reason. This too shall pass because nothing lasts forever. Those are my words of wisdom for today. Lol.

I have had the same issues with getting to go spend time with my fiance. In September I was supposed to go home and visit but with work responsibilities I was unable to get the time off. Again the same has happened for this Christmas I am unable to leave from work. We wanted to plan a trip for my birthday in January but it's kind of difficult to plan as we started this process started and we are not sure when we will need to travel to the interview and additionally I have another case pending for my mom at the final stages at the NVC so I am double on edge with this visa process. although the one for my mom has not been as frustrating it's been pretty easy and quick just now we are at a standstill waiting on the NVC to finish the last step before consulate. But that is another story! And you are right about needing to save up money because airline tickets to Dominica are rather pricey. And there are so many other costs associated with this petition prior to POE and not to mention the costs afterwards to do the status adjustment. I share your feelings SparklePony but my only saving grace to this whole process is that once it is all over we will be with our love for good and in the end it will all be worth it. Stay strong! Sending some positive vibes and wishes your way.

Trust me I feel the same way!!!!!!! This process is really nerve wrecking!!!! We really have to try and stay strong and keep hope alive that one day soon we will get our NOA2s.

Yesterday mine said between Dec 6th and 16th now that I look at it it says Dec 4th and 12th. I am so done with this estimated adjudication date on here. It keeps changing every day!!!! I am no longer going by it because if I do I will seriously lose my mind. Based of the provided estimated date I called the USCIS and they said my case is still pending it doesn't look like anything is missing or need but no decision has been made and it looks like it's going to take a while. I don't understand how that can be! they have looked at the case and if nothing is needed or missing why can't they just make a decision already? And am seeing later filers are already getting approvals. MAKES NO SENSE!!!! This is so frustrating. How can they just toy with people's lives like this.

Hi I am the same too. Just trying to stay

Hi guys, nothing new to report just checking in with you guys saying hello and sending happy thoughts and wishes your way. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I have a long weekend ahead of me so catch you later.

Can1221 we have the exact same time line!!!!

Hi All,
I started this post as a source of support and information for all of us November filers for the Texas Service Center. It is a bit difficult to keep track of things as there are many different services centers processing applications and I am finding it a bit hard to get info from fellow TSC filers and just thought it would be nice to have a spot for us to meet, greet and share. I am a November filer from the TSC.
