Tippins

hello - do i need the official IRS Tax Transcripts or can I just print my tax returns and use those?

thank you!!

This thread is over 2 years old. The OP has not been active on VJ for 4 months. The forms used 2 years ago are not the ones currently used, so this post is not really all that helpful to you for that reason plus the fact that your timeline says you will go through London. Each consulate has their own procedures and requirements, so you should research for what your consulate currently requires. Here is the post for London > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

oh thank you so much for your help and guidance!

hi !

question, did you need to provide US citizen's passport # and a copy of their passport page ?

did you need paystubs ? my work does not use paystubs - is this essential ?

thank you!

hope your interview was a success !!!

We got APPROVED! its the best feeling in the world -

everyone, your moment is coming.

I filed Jan 31 - and got NOA1 on Feb 4

NOA2 came Aug 3

No Email, No Text - just a letter in the mail,

but the best letter ever.

Does anyone know if there is anything you can do if you are over 6 months waiting time - to get any information or update about your case?!

oh my god! so many NOA2s for Jan filers!! this is so awesome congrats everyone - !!! here's to hoping the rest of us hear really soon and that the backlog isnt an issue anymore

anybody else seen in the news that passports and visas are backlogged because of a system glitch !!?? i have a detailed article from the newspaper i will try to upload and share

I called my senator and he was willing to speak on my behalf but he told me that its really just tracking information that they get

they find out where in the line our petition is and report that back to us - they said they cant make it move any faster - did anyone

else get this response ? i feel like some people are suggesting that senator speed up the process? Maybe I need to request something different ?

Congrats to everyone who got approved!!!! I hope that means more and more january approvals are on the way

Hey guys. Just got my NOA2!

I got no email, no text message. It just came in the mail (snail mail) today. Approved on July 8th, 2014.

I did nothing special. No calls to senators or congressman. I did put in a service request though, but when I got a reply, it said nothing relevant. I wish you all the best in your wait. I know it can be tough.

to get a measure of time - when did you get your NOA1 before that?

does anyone know how long after the NOA2 before they get the interview and can come over?

so horrible, how is this possible so so horrible to have to wait and be pushed further and further

so we all have 30 more days at least - and thats from their mouths to our ears

where do you put in a service request? is that by phone ?

Still at december !

so if we filed at the end of january, we still have at least 30 days of waiting?!

does anyone know what date they are at for processing now? are they processing january filers now?

>>>> Does anyone know what date they are processing now?

I remember someone said they were processing Dec applications still

>>>>>have any January people been approved and sent an NOA2? I submitted Jan 31 and want to know how long I am looking at waiting.

since i dont trust the times they have posted as an accurate representation of the wait time

>>>>>I also cant decide if its a good idea to get a senator involved or if that will pull my case out of the line and make it slower to get done, any thoughts?

I think writing to local media and national media is a good idea, being separated from the person you love is universally relatable and

there are so many people who have to go through it, whether because of slow visa processing times or otherwise. I am going to submit

to the NYTimes, has anyone gotten any responses from TV networks or newspapers ?

! lots of thoughts, questions !

these threads are so awesome how we can piece the info together for ourselves since the actual centers barely give us any hope!!

thanks to everyone who posts here!

No, he hasnt moved since. He has been in Virginia the entire time, although he did move 6 months prior to that (from Georgia). I'm trying not to get my hopes up, although it is teetering on that and being worried as ours is the only case that I have seen transferred.

He hasn't spoken or contacted anyone about it, although at the start of the process he did hire a lawyer, which as far as I can tell has been a waste of money. The lawyer didnt even respond to him the last time he tried to contact him (about a month ago) which also seems a bit wrong (for lack of a better way to put it). We both don't like to make waves, but I think the waiting is driving me more nuts than him.

I wonder if you get transfered to the California center if you get bumped up in the line there or if you get put after their current ones ?!

So many questions - and they give us so little information !! -- I also moved from Georgia to Virginia a few days before filing my petition

so I dont think thats an issue - my lawyer did not mention anything about this being a problem.

best of luck to you !

it looks like you are from virgina (or your fiance is from virgina). if you google "virgina senators" it will show you your options. they should have instructions on their websites for submitting an inquiry for help with a federal agency (look under something like "services" or "constituent services"). If they have a privacy form you can download on their website - download it and send it, along with a copy of your NOA1 document, to the fax number or address provided. then wait a day or two and confirm they received it. and stay on top of them about following up.

thank you thank you~ !! very helpful - do you think its appropriate to contact them if im just now past the 5 month mark?

Is it a sooner the better scenario ? - thank you again.

So senator involvement is key ? how do you find out which senator to call / mail ?

Thank you so much if you can help - those of you who have done this.

and congrats to those who've been approved !!!!!

Someone in the December filer's thread called USCIS and they were told TSC is working on December 8th petitions.

There are many of us waiting, but if i understand this timeline (above - quoted from "jfgk1987") they've been approved and filed in January -

so it would seem that they are working on January petitions now - which can give the rest of us hope! am i right? --- i hope so!

grasping for anything to hold on to - this process is so straining ----- but makes us grateful for the time we will be soon granted together

with our partner.

Oh wow - so basically the 5 months posted on the TSC was false hope! seems like they need to update it.

Its so much easier when you know what time or length of time you are looking at for this waiting period.

Its worst when you just dont know when you will hear at all ! but always hopeful and it will come eventually.

hope january ones get processed soon!!

hey there and welcome to the January Hell LOL. 6 months and 2 days here !!!! in the last month my fiancee keep called at TSC and all what they told her it was "we work at december 3th"... for a whole month we heard just this !

She contacted also the senator, until now nothing....

Thank you for your reply ! And yes, it is hell - waiting waiting!!

and all the power out of our hands for the most important thing in our lives.

Its nice knowing other people going through the same thing.

Are you saying that it took them a month to process people who applied on 3rd Dec ?!

or that is where they are in the queue - that they are up to Dec 3 so the 5 months wait time has been pushed back

to really 8 months?!?!

I am going to call the customer service tomorrow - the # they have listed on their website, but from reading other peoples

posts - it doesnt seem like they tell you much. Is it important to get a senator involved - does this help the process at the 5 month mark?

thank you

Hi - I am new to this thread - I mailed my petition Jan 31 - 2014

So at the very end of the January Filers - to TSC

Was wondering if anyone else has heard anything

Got my NOA1 on Feb 6 but its past the 5 month mark.

Any info or shared experience would be great!

Hi - just joining this group - Im a Feb 2014 filer - got my NOA1 on FEb 6th ...

Still waiting! its past the 5 month mark now ... but i guess that average is

not really a good reference to hold your hopes to.

Hope some of these are getting processed soon!

any news or shares would be great

Am I supposed to call on Monday since its past 5 months?

Ive heard you are supposed to do this.

Good Luck everyone - we are all in the same boat.
