I haven't been reading a lot lately so I'm not sure if Iceyspots has gotten an RFE or approval recently. If not, WHY NOT??? Seems she is one of the old timers still awaiting news.

We had to cancel the interview date for my fiance that was on September 20th.

I had a very bad car accident just after Labor Day. Dealing with that, a few injuries, and not having a way to get to and from work has really interfered with me getting paperwork done. I just mailed off a HUGE packet to him today via FedEx so he should get it Friday. Once he confirms receiving the papers I will reschedule an interview in New Delhi. If all goes well we will still be on track for him arriving in late November, wouldn't you think?

Good luck to everyone having interviews this week and next!

There are 4 types of Malaria. Some are not that bad while others make the person extremely sick with fever, etc. Basically it is a parasite that lives in the blood and goes dormant in the liver. Depending on the type, it could lay dormant in the liver for months and then recycle into the blood stream.

If the person is going thru an acute phase, I would doubt they would feel like traveling to the US right now. Rather than worrying if the person can come to the US, I wonder how he/she feels right now and if he/she is receiving proper treatment?

I should have never posted this. This week I was in a major car accident and now my life is in hell. The worse part is that it was my fault. I ran into the back of someone (traffic light was disabled and didn't see his brake lights). My car is most likely totaled. The other 2 cars are damaged and 1 guy says he is injured. Although at the scene he had a red bump on his forehead....I guess he could be hurt....not sure....BUT, he didn't have his seatbelt on that I saw.

So anyway, at the moment my life is in turmoil. I just hope it all gets worked out before my fiance gets here. I would hate to be going thru all of this when he arrives.

What do each of you do to pass the time while waiting for your K1 visa to be processed?

Seems I'm running out of things to do. I've read all of the books I wanted to read and watched all of the movies. I guess I could always start weeding things out of the closet to make room for his clothes.

We have an interview date of Sept. 20th but we don't have all of our papers together yet. Both me and my fiance are freaking out. I don't see how I can get the papers to him in time so I have emailed the New Delhi embassy to ask for a postponed appointment. We will just feel more comfortable to postpone it than to stress over the documents arriving there in time. I should receive the letter from my employer for the affidavit of support tomorrow.

Looks like we are a few weeks behind but that's okay. We weren't planning on his arrival to America until around Thanksgiving anyway. Does that make us look bad to the embassy?

kpathak,

I'm a girl. My Avinash will be there on September 20th. Is anyone going to fly over for moral support during the interview? I was thinking about it.

I just got off the phone and my fiance's interview is Sept 20th at 8am also! New Delhi Embassy will have our loved ones all on the same day at the same time! Good luck everyone!!

Good luck! I'm so excited for you! Please let us know how it goes.

I'm also doing a K1 and my fiance hasn't received packet 3 yet. Our case left NVC on August 4th and DHL delivered it on August 7th. I am just hoping he has the interview and arrives by the end of November. We are also going thru New Delhi.

Wow! I think I will faint if Icey gets her RFE and Gary gets his NOA2. Who wants to see me faint?

I see Gary's hand raised....and is that Icey over in the corner??

Congrats!

William33, I'm so happy for you! This has been a long time coming! Now we need gary to get his and things will be looking up.

Oh, and iceyspots needs her RFE.

William, I guess we'll be seeing you soon in the Foreign Embassy forum?

I was just talking to my fiance today and he was telling me about how he will just pay the bribe and get it done quickly. He says not to worry because in India anything can be done with enough money. LOL As a non-desi I just laugh and say that the same can be done here but it only costs more! LOL

He is still waiting on Packet 3 to arrive. But we are working on the rest of the papers needed. Our goal is to have him here by the end of November for my birthday.

How do you all send paperwork to India? Which is most reliable? Fed Ex, UPS, DHL? I know in India I prefer Blue Dart but how to get the papers to India?

Also, what if the zipcode you are sending papers to isn't serviced by Fed Ex or the like?

My NOA 2 was dated July 31. NVC received it on Aug 3 and sent it to the embassy on Aug 4th. It was received in New Delhi on August 7th. We are now awaiting packet 3....which should have arrived today. I'll check with him shortly.

Just wishing I was there to celebrate with my man. Or he was here.

Congrats and good luck! You have been so patient waiting for so long. I hope all goes well for you.

I was going to get a head start on completing the affidavit of support for my fiance's K1 process. However, I have no idea if it should be the 864 or 134. The New Delhi US Consulate website says I-134. Does this sound right?

Thanks for any and all assistance!

Good luck to all in your final stages.

What I don't understand is why did they wait this long to give you the second RFE? I mean they had that file for months and they could have asked for this information a long time ago while they were not approving any K-1's.

I was wondering if they worked by quotas. If so, they probably reached their July and August quotas in 1 week when there was so much activity and now they can rest until near the end of September.

Too bad they aren't paid piece work via applications. I'll bet we would see a lot more touches!

Any word from pharmacist? Was wondering what happened at the interview.

Gomez, I remember when you got your NOA2 and I felt like it would be forever until I was approved. Well, I got my NOA2 and my case has already arrived at the consulate in New Delhi. They sure kept you waiting....but it all works out in the end.

Good luck the rest of the way!

My guy had to go to the birth registery place in his state (Uttar Pradesh). He got a certificate of non-availability and two people (his mother and uncle...since his father has died) to sign affidavits saying when he was born. We sent those items for our I129 petition and it was approved with those items. I have no idea if it cost him anything. He didn't say that part.

Good luck!

We are working on a K1. I am white american and he is indian. We are going thru New Delhi and our case just arrived there today! I guess it will be a few weeks before he gets packet 3 and several weeks for an interview. I think the process is getting ahead of us all of a sudden. LOL We have a ton of papers to gather now. He still doesn't even have his passport in hand!

My case was received at NVC on the 3rd also! It was sent to the embassy the next day and it arrived in New Delhi, India today. Things are moving right along now! However, now comes the long wait for the packet 3 and interview date. I understand my embassy is running about 6 weeks out with interview dates.

I have this weird feeling inside that many of the March and recalled petitions are going to be approved this week if they didn't just get an RFE.

Who knows....we may get totally surprised and iceyspots may even get her RFE! What a glorious week it will be!
