No it doesn't mean that once they send and RFE that status change to Request for Evidence Sent or something like that. I guess you could have your case number handy. But they would still email you back because they would need a consent form that will be signed by you to look into the case. No we didn't talk to the congressman. I believe it was an assistant that answered.

We called because they weren't getting back to our email. Then we left our info over the phone and got back to us through email. And it took about a week for them to finally notify us that the EAD wasn't going through because of the pending background check. And RFE is request for evidence. Basically if anything is missing in the initial packet you sent they send you a letter of what they need. I'm assuming that's the reason why we were delayed too.

First by email.Then by phone and then back to email. Just check online for your local congressman and on their website they always have a section for inquiries. They didn't give us a time frame either, but eventually it happened. About meeting them in person, it may or may not help. I guess it depends on the case of heard of people saying that it's no use. But personally it shows that you're doing something right? So it would be up to you.

This happened to us as well. We contacted our Congressman. They contacted USCiS. And in our house they said that the background check was still pending and that is why it was taking so long. We applied in November for AOS and EAD. Got an RFE in December 2015 and submitted the paperwork in January 2016. We just got notice of the EAD and AP being approved on April 28. So don't worry, you'll get a response soon. Why not try making an appointment with a local USCIS office to inquire about it? Hope you get it soon. Take care!

Ok. NVC people told me that they have our case with them and that they are unable to give any further info about when will it leave for ISL. though they asked me to call them in the coming days to have an update.

So its the waiting game again...

Any idea how fast ISL embassy is processing these cases? Roughly how long does it take from here to the visa approval thing??

From NVC to approval it took us 4 months, another month waiting for the visa. we did have packet three issues, cause we received that a month later. so yea.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and I need some information,

Our I129F petition for K1 visa was approved on July 07 2015 and the case was forwarded to NVC on July 14 2015.

I called NVC last night to ask what's next and they gave me a case number starting with ISL. I am trying to track that and it shows No results on the CEAC portal.

I want to know what's next for us. It took us so long to get out of TSC and I don't wanna experience the same torture again. Can someone here tell me what I need to do and how will things move on from here?? I am based in Karachi and my fiancé is in FL.

Thanks.

You should be getting packet three from islamabad. Otherwise just check the ceac website again in a couple of days with the case number and eventually it would say ready meaning they have your case. Best of luck!

Status change to ISSUED. ??

Congrats!! Mine did too, alhamdulillah

Hi All,

I am a new member of this forum and it seems informative regarding timelines. I have completed all 6 steps on 117th of July, My preference is F4 siblings. Can any one let me know how much time NVC will take to review the documents and if all goes well then how much time it will take for the interview.

regards

From my experience, they send it out pretty quickly to the embassy, It should probably be there a week later after it reaches NVC. As far as the interview goes it depends on when they send you packet 3 (it took me a month to receive it, for others it's only a few days) and it also depends on when you send it back. Once we sent packet three we got our interview date pretty quickly, maybe a few days.

But as you know the Islamabad embassy has been having some delays, so at this point in time, all of this may not apply. Best of luck!

Anyone else got their case creation date changed to July 22nd? And get AP soon after?

Same exact same thing happen to our k1 visa today. iA our visas will be issued soon.

It's going to be a month since our interview. And our status is still on 'ready'.

from what i understand visa that have been approved still go through ap, i have heard other people reference it as them 'printing out' the visa or maybe getting it ready for it to be sent out? Again, this is just from what i've read on here. I would get information from other sources.

The visa was approved, yes?

I wonder if it will updated to AP when they are printing it soon? But it sounds like they touched the case?

Yes it was approved, alhamdulillah. I think some one at least did look at the case.

My fiancee had his interview on June 22nd, the only thing that updated was the status updated date to June 30th.

Fiance had his interview on June 22nd and was also approved! They told him that he would be, hopefully, getting his visa in two weeks.

I'll give you a heads up and tell you what happened to me. I was also waiting and waiting. There is a online query you can fill out on the embassy website. It's worth a try but it took me a while to get a response.

I had requested my senator office to help me with my case and his office notified me that they emailed me about a day or two after it was sent to Islamabad. He looked into it and found they had sent it to the wrong email. If you can, try getting the petitioner to ask your senator/representative to contact the embassy on your behalf because they will get a response in a day or so.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for all the information! How did you go about contacting the senator office? Did you call them or email them?

It looks like NVC shipped out our stuff to the Islamabad embassy on March 18th. We still haven't received packet 3, is this normal? How long does it usually take?

I've looked at other k1s also in Islamabad and it seems like they got their packet 3 soon after.

Yes, the petitioner will always need to fill out their own I-134, and if a co-sponsor is needed then the co-sponsor will fill out his/her own I-134.

You need to list CURRENT income on the I-134. If you have no income, then you have nothing to put down.

Thank you for the helpful information!

Welcome to the forum.

:guide: easily accessible at the top of the forum page. In particular, the K1 I-134 FAQS: http://www.visajourney.com/content/support

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you!

Start asking within your family and then close friends. Explain the situation to them & hopefully you'll get one. Good luck

Thank you! Hopefully it all works out. Good luck to you!

I recently graduated and thus unemployed. Would I still need to fill out the I-134 paperwork along with the co-sponsor even though i have zero income?

I have income from the previous 3 years from a part time job, is any of this information relevant for the I-134?

This website has been so helpful, so I just wanted to share the good news. I can't believe this is actually happening.

If anyone has had a co-sponsor, how did you bring up the topic and assure them of the situation? I'm still unsure of who to ask, but it's something that will have to come up without seeming like a weird scary thing. I recently graduated from college a few months ago and only held a part-time job, so I don't exactly fit the income requirement.

Thanks!
