We finally received notice for Oath Ceremony upcoming this month, all of you have been wonderful and it was certainly a experience to go through this immigration journey!

It's only been one month. I waited 3 months before they asked for my biometrics...which is perfectly normal, apparently. 

You don't need to worry. Just wait a couple of months and I'm sure they'll get around to requesting your biometrics. Hoping that that appointment comes soon for you!

Means a lot hearing from this community, it's been a long journey for all of us, hopefully soon we all get our citizenship ✌️

We have applied on August and still stuck on "we received your case notice and receipt notice was sent", I can tell already that they are having issues finding my case file for removal of conditions back in July of 2020 😕

Assumptions are not good but I’d like to think maybe that’s the reason. the officer at my info pass told me once there’s a pending I751 and you file N400 they have to find the cases and merge them so they can be linked to one interview etc. but that’s what I think. 

We Just applied for the N400 this past week, see if it causes some sort of movement because we've been in limbo forever

Me too also at YSC and stuck at the same thing "case updated to show fingerprints were taken". I filed for ROC on 6/3/20 it has been more than a year already... getting quite impatient. Have you already filed your N-400?

Me too haven't heard a peep

Any word from the YSC offices? I'm still stuck as Fingerprints have been taken 💀

Congrats to all SRC filers who are getting new cards first off but Anybody  from YSC with new updates besides fingerprints were taken?

We've finally got the paper NOA 1 on 7-21-20 but the NOA was dated 07-14-20, definitely moving way slower but just grateful we were able to receive the letter. I hope everyone is getting more positive news too!

Update to all who had it received by USCIS on 6-30, USCIS cashed the check but haven't received NOA just yet. There's still hope!

Not at all ! check hasn't cashed yet. No notif no nothing  it is 1 week now but I am trying to calm myself and thinking " okay it was 4th July and mostly Gov office closed on 3rd July so..when my letter received on the 30rd then they will forwarded to the USCIS office by the 1st the earliest and until they sort it out all the letter maybe the 2nd it came to the division or something ..so I am trying to calm  it is hard though lol 

We're stuck in the same boat as you guys, we haven't heard anything as they recieved our R.O.C on 6/30 no check cashed or notifications here either.

How long is the wait currently until they send a NOA or even cash the check?

We just sent in for removal of conditions on the 27th of June, good luck everyone, this is gonna take some time for sure

Is there a way I can kind of freeze the process as we will be possibily leaving the country prior to us removing conditions? Thank you

Okay I get the drift now, my only issue is what if we are currently overseas at the time?

USCIS says 90 days before your second anniversary as a green card resident, you can apply to remove your condition. Can I apply 2 months before then? Thank you

Interesting case and intro in your posting. You are calling him "my husband" and you were recently denied a K1 fiancee visa at the visa interview at the embassy/consulate? I think I can understand why you were denied a fiancee visa. It does sound like the CO acted in a proper manner. Since he has already expressed immigration intent through the filing of the K1 visa, it is highly unlikely that he would be granted a B1/B2 visa (business/visitor, respectively), due to the recent K1 denial, and also because Nigeria is such a high-fraud country and has an accompanying high B2 visa refusal rate....Sorry. It is likely far easier from an immigration standpoint for you to visit him.

 

You may want to consider starting the CR1 spousal visa process.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

100% right. Sounds like you guys are already married by this post alone. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, what is it?

I’m preparing to file my I129f visa application for my fiancé in Ethiopia but need clarification regarding my mailing address which is a PO box and not a physical address..is it ok to use my PO Box to file my application? I currently live with my family and will be moving in a few months and so I am not sure what to do? 

That's perfectly fine, I had to use a P.O box before and On 8J. Of the application it will ask you if your mailing address is your physical just check "no"

And it also states to put your physical address in 9a-9h.

When it comes time for you to change the address you can do it on the USCIS website.

I really appreciate your response and advice, I've went ahead and contacted the NVC with my best attempt at clarifying things and really just opening my heart and asking what's the possibility of voiding the letter and allowing us to move forward. Hopefully they will offer us a resolve and it won't be as terrible as what Illiria is stating. 💔

 

This whole K1 visa can be such a roller coaster of emotions, and adding in everything that was happening in Venezuela I can honestly say it wasn't the most rational thing for us to do but we felt there was no other options for us. Hopefully it will all work out.

I certainly wish you guys the best, the journey can be tough to endure, but in the end it will be worth it. 👍

The case is now at the Embassy, we no longer have a USCIS Receipt Number (which was what was used to request the cancellation)) but an actual case number with the embassy contacting us with the visa there in Bogota.

The best thing to do is to try to clarify the situation. From what I remember, the USCIS receipt number will still be in use when ds160 and for scheduling the interview. Contact the NVC to make sure your case is still active and not cancelled, if it's still active take the next step by contacting the Bogota embassy .

Good afternoon everyone,

 

My fiance's visa was sent to the embassy in Bogota, Colombia due to the removal of embassy staff in Venezuela, it's incredible news because we had actually lost all hope that this process would be even possible after all the chaos happened there, we weren't sure if we should even continue our engagement that perhaps it was impossible to even continue the relationship, or maybe in the future we would just become married in another country. We had sent in a request to cancel the visa, with hopes of maybe eventually being reunited one day and marrying or pursuing the K1 from another country, however as the visa was processing at the NVC, it was expedited to the embassy in Bogota. It seems that they expedited it before the cancellation letter was received at the NVC and is now an entirely different case # and sitting at the embassy in Bogota. We had no idea that this was even possible and now we couldn't be anymore excited and feel that this gives us hope that we can finally be together and married once and for all.

 

As of last night, we've completed the DS-160, however when we try to register an account to pay the embassy fee and schedule our appointments on the Official U.S. Department of State Visa Appointment Service website for Colombia, I receive an error message stating "Case number not ready to schedule". However, we've already been contacted by the embassy with all the information and packets to begin this process, and when I check the Visa Status Check on the CEAC website, it says that our visa application status is "Ready"

 

So we don't know what to do or think, I've sent an e-mail to the embassy with no response, as well as to the technical support staff on the Visa Appointment Service website, and no response. Obviously with the cancellation letter that was sent to the NVC, it's been like a rain cloud hanging over us giving us so much anxiety (literally dry heaving before work today). Is it possible that this could negate our efforts to continue at the embassy in Bogota even though it's now a different case number? Or is this just a problem in the system? Or do we need to wait a few days for the DS-160 to process? 

 

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated because as much as this is the most exciting moment of our lives, given the circumstances and fragility, we also have a lot of anxiety.
 

 

 

I would contact the NVC to check on your case, they may be able to help you out in this situation. If you have already sent out the cancellation it is a possibility that they pulled your case back. Contact the NVC and find out about your case and are you able to track your case?

It's very possible..

But what you can do is to have her divorce Decree nisi in the UK, evidence of citizenship from the UK and  proof of denouncing citizenship in the Philippines. As long as you have solid evidence in your K1 packet you should be okay. 

but if you Really want to make sure contact a immigration lawyer.
