My fiance will be coming to the US with his K-1 on Dec. 3rd. Does he need to apply for an I-765 in order to work? They didn't tell us anything at the interview. I've read that it can take longer than 90 days to process the I-765, so would it be a waste to pay the $180 filing fee if it won't even be processed before the wedding? Any insight would be great!

My fiance received his packet 3 today. In the packet there was a letter that reads the following:

"A namecheck reveals that there exists in the U.S. a law enforcement record possibly identifiable with you. We must obtain that record before issuing a visa, and need to take your fingerprints in order to do so. Thereafter, the wait may be up to three months. We would ordinarially do the fingerprints in the afternoon of the day of your scheduled visa appointment, but if you wish to avoid delay by appearing earlier, please write to the above address or e-mail this office to schedule an appointment"

Then it just goes on to tell you how to pay for the fingerprints and that you can bring a pre-paid international express envelope with you to expedite the shipping of the prints to the US.

Has anyone else received a letter like this? My fiance doesn't have any record in the US and doesn't even have unpaid parking tickets. We are thinking that because he has an Arabic name (even though he is from Australia) they are doing extra checks on him and don't want to just come right out and say that they are racially profiling him.

Any insight would be great! I just hope this doesn't add another 3 months to the process. At the rate we are going it will be a full year before we get approved! AHHHH!!!!

I just received a letter saying that my fiance's case will be processed in Sydney, but the consulate we put on the I-129f was Melbourne.

He has had both Business and Student visas processed in Melbourne. Does Melbourne not do K-1 visas? I just want to make sure there isn't an error I have to resolve. Any info will help... Thanks!

We received our e-mail on Aug. 14th saying we we reveived our NOA2 on the 12th! Yippee! FINALLY!!!!

I was touched again today too! Hopefully this is good news for us!

I was trying to access the case status page all evening and it wasn't letting me log in, I checked it a few minutes ago to see that I was touched today! Hopefully this is a good sign! I didn't notice any other Thursday touches.... am I the only one?

I'm still waiting for my NOA2. My NOA1 was March 13th and I haven't been touched since July 18th. AHHH!!! They are killing me! I'm taking off on Friday to go to Australia to visit my fiance again! So much for the JUNE wedding we planned on!

NOA1- March 13th

IMBRA RFE received e-mail- July 17th

I'm at 142 days and going insane seeing all these NOA1's from May and even June approved! How many of us are left with March NOA1's?

R U still at the Nebraska Service Center or are you at California?????

Write to me......I have a march chart for all California members at the IMBRA forum'

MIke

I was transfered to Califorina on June 1st

I'm here too, and just got a reply from a congressman... don't know when processing will be complete, call back by the end of september if I havent heard anything...

oh like that really helps.

i am tempted to call my congress-person, but after reading about so many negative experiences I don't kow if it is even worth the time.

My NOA1 was March 13th, and I was touched on July 17th (letting me know they received my RFE which I mailed back on July 3rd) and was touched on the 18th. It seems like there are a lot of people from March still waiting...
