Just thought I would give you guys an update, I had my fiancé call the USEM in Sweden after I was told that out i-134 had to be sent to the USCIS. He, however, was told that I just needed to bring the signed form so that's what I'm going to do. I got my interview date which is january 7th, so exciting! Thanks for your help!

Gosh, yeah, I see on page 3 the instructions says that. I know I sent a copy of the I-134 with my petition, but I sent in everything when I mailed it to USCIS. Then, I mailed my guy an updated I-134 before the interview, and the USEM kept that copy after his interview.

I don't know what that means, and if no one else on this thread knows, you may need to start a new thread. Alternatively, he can call the USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 and/or the NVC at (603) 334-0700.

Did your fiance mail a copy of the form in the petition? If not, he didn't get an RFE. It may be that he was using an old version (not the February 2014 version)? That "accepted by USCIS" statement could mean a lot of things...!

Okay I called the embassy and they told me that he has to fill it out and send it to the USCIS so he will do that today. I'm just nervous because it has taken so long to get the NOA2 (8 months). Hopefully this won't take long! I can't get an interview date before it has gotten approved.

Hello!

I don't understand what you two are trying to do; either you are confused on the wrong process or the forms are written wrong. At first, I thought you might have had an RFE, but your timeline says NOA2.

The foreign beneficiary takes the Form I-134, along with supporting documents (paystubs, tax returns/transcripts) with them when they have the interview at the USEM (or send it to the USEM if they ask for it to be mailed to them ahead of the interview).

Did I understand your question?

Well we recieved the NOA2 and then about three weeks later my fiancee got an e-mail from the USEM with a checklist. The checklist said that I needed to bring: " ( ) EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: Evidence, which will show that you and your children, if any, are not to become public charges in the United States. If you have no assets, you may find a financial sponsor in the U.S. who completes form I-134, Affidavit of Support on your behalf. The sponsor should also provide a copy of the most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (1040) and proof of current U.S. income or assets. Form I-134 can be obtained from Citizenship and Immigration Services’ webpage"

So I sent a message to the embassy that said: "Hello, I am wondering about the affidat of support, form I-134. Does my fiance just fill it out and then I bring it to the interview? Or does it have to be approved somewhere beforehand?" and got this answer:

Dear Miriam,

Thank you for writing to the US Visa Services Desk.

Form I-134 is not considered properly filed until accepted by US Citizenship and Immigration Service

So that's why I'm so confused.

Hello! My fiancé is about to fill out the I-134 form (affidat of support) Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved? ANd is he supposed to send it to the lockbox in Dallas?

Processes after getting your case# are different for each country (that includes the medical). You should probably hop in the regional forums and find a post about it which pertains to your country's usem. And congrats again!

So my fiancé and I are trying to figure out what the next steps are. I know that all instructions are being sent to him but what about my medical exam? Is there a document on the USCIS website that i have to print or does everything go to him? Also, did you guys have to get an x-Ray, and was it done by your private doctor or dis you have to go somewhere else? Thanks!

Yesssss! Woke up to the greatest e-mail this morning!! We finally got our NOA2!! It took 236 days from the NOA1 to the NOA2

Hi Blaine/Cristian - I have been trying to read through all of these forums but it is just getting me more and more upset. Have you guys heard anything from TSC since your submission date. We submitted on March 17 and haven't gotten anything except the first letter stating we have received it.

Other couples who have submitted around the same time are now getting their visas and getting married. I am worried something has happened, but if other people are in the same boat then I might feel a bit better that it is not just our file getting lost in the havoc that goes on at TSC. Anything helps!!!

Hi there! We got the NOA1 on march 16th from TSC and we are also waiting still. My fiancé called TSC in May and asked what was going on and at the time a lady told him that they wouldn't even look at our case until 168 days from then which is October 29th. I'm hopeful something will happen this month!

Hope this will get your hopes up

Hey! Do you guys know how oftest the USCIS update their website? Last time it was updated was july 31st and that was a while ago!

Hey! So I can file for AOS when I have my new SSN right? How long does it normally take to get that approval and how does it work? Maybe someone knows of a great website to read all about it? Also, will I be able to travel out side of the States when i get the AOS approval?

Thanks

Thank you Kyle! I just updated my timeline and it gives me an estimate of between september 20th till october 13th. I had Chris call the TSC on may 15th and they told him then that they'd look at our case on oct 29 so this is progress! Although I don't want to get my hopes up yet this did make it look a little better.

Hello everyone! My fiancé recieved out noa1 from the Texas center on march 16th and nothing has happened since.. Has anyone with the SRC case numbers had any luck it heard anything? I'm getting so frustrated!!

Regards from Denmark ☺️
