Hi

My agency told me that certificate of no marriage is no more needed and the latest K1 VISA instructions doesnt put it on it either,so i didnt collect that one,just want to make sure,do we on earth have to get certificate of no marriage?

Hello, I reckon this is country-specific. I'm from the Philippines and it is one of the important docs I hafta get hold of.

Thank you guys. I guess il call them myself tonight (Manila time). 

Hello when did you receive your NOA2? 

How long should I wait before I can start calling NVC? Letter says to wait 30 days but I've seen some suggestions to give them a ring after 2 weeks of NOA2.. ☺

Only if you don't interview before your NOA2 expires. The petition  approval has an expiration date on the NOA2. If you go past that date, the American has to provide an updated letter of intent to extend the petition past the four months allowed.

 

Your Philippine specific K1 info is here https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

Thank you so much for this!!!

for Filipina we should get NBI CLEARANCE 

Ahh yes, I meant NBI not police lol. Well Filipina who have worked abroad need police clearance from the country they worked in tho..

Thank you for making this thread! I had a look at the DS-160 and was kind of intimidated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

My to do list for papers to secure include:

○ Police Clearance

○ fresh copies of birth certificate 

○ Certificate of No Marriage

○ Transcript of Records and School Diploma (for future use)

Is an updated letter of intent to marry mandatory?

And we both know now is totally *NOT* the time to play with our emotions. Jeez this is one heck of a rollercoaster ride!

Hey I just got a alert on USCIS app that my case status has changed. I was so excited to see it my heart was pounding. But then I look at it and it just says still received. Does this mean my file was touched atleast?  I’m confused 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

The exact same thing happened to me! First, I received a notification,

then when I checked, it says exactly the same thing!

Got excited for a minute there... 🤔

Thank you @Naes, as always, for the comforting words. Just a bit (and by bit I mean a lot) frustrating you know? Thank you for the positivity, was running a bit low. Heh

Hey Naes, July 18 NOA1 here and still waiting for NOA2 stuck in traffic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Has anyone started gathering documents for Packet 3?  I was wondering what do we do if we've never been married before since on the Packet 3 checklist, it asks to gather all the require documents; Marriage certificates, court records, military records, etc... being some of those. Do we just checkmark them even if we don't have any of those documents? 

Hello! What is Packet 3 and where can I see that checklist?

WARNING: Whiney/wine-y post ahead.

I feel left out and I am running out of positivity. It's really nice to see every approval post but I can't help but feel envious and depressed that up to now I haven't had the slightest clue about mine. 208 days and counting, I feel like the universe has not been on my side this year. My mom died last January and being with my fiancé is the only happy thing I look forward to now but honestly not knowing anything is stressing me the fudge out. My fiancé and I have been nevermets for 7 years before he came over to visit and after he went back to US eachday apart from him is torture.  In my fantasy world I thought the universe would be "hey hun lemme be kinder to you given your circumstances" but nah, it's more like "hey here have this asteroid I'm throwing right at your face".

My fiancé had also seemed nonchalant  (my drama, he's just super busy at work) because he never has the opportunity to call USCIS at a good time (like as someone suggested, at 8am to be able to speak to a supervisor). What other means could we do to be able to get updates on our case? Solid suggestions anyone?

TL;DR: I AM A SAD BURRITO

Guys! Guys! Can someone check if this is an expedite?? Just came in! 

I'm on the same forum as the lovely preggy lady. July 5 NOA1, wasn't an expedite

USCIS is severely understaffed.

Guys. I have an idea! How bout we strike a deal with USCIS: they give us our NOA2s AND they hire us. I'm sure they would *not* have any problems with a bunch of pumped up employees who have pent up energy caused by paranoia secondary to their doing!

Ha Ha I might have to check that out. I usually watch K-Dramas and Chinese dramas to distract me. I rarely watch American TV. Recently I'm watching a Japanese drama on Netflix. It's more geared for teens, but hey, we are all teens at heart, right?

Painting cards sound so Romantic..............I Love homemade stuff for gifts because it comes from the heart!

Have you seen the Korean version of Good Doctor? I've seen some episodes of the American version but knowing there's a Korean, had to put it in my list!

I love giving out DIY gifts because aside from the money-saving factor, I can personalize according to the giftee

Any helpful tips to get me through today would be great.

We all are. *warm internet hugs*  Personally, I've been keeping myself distracted by going on Netflix (Dark has been keeping me on edge these days) and by painting Christmas cards for my fiancee and his family.

Hello fellow, PH to USA filers! And yes,  I defo agree with reserving those for your fiancee, @JSCGPV! 😅

"Love doesn't listen to the part "hey we used up all our money, can you go local?"

Right fudgin on!! Haha this is totally relatable. Love knows no geographical distance for all of us here 😂😅

I am backreading and I totally love the warm, supportive vibe that this little community has. I know I'm more of a lurker but believe me, this forum has done wonders for my anxiety monster. 10/10 would recommend!

Hello, just curious, what do you use to keep track of the cases? Like how many are getting approved, how many get RFEs and stuff like that? Do you use a special program or app? I have been using the USCIS App and I'm wondering if the number of updates I get are same as the number of cases processed for that day?

let's go back to business guys:

 

is there anyone here with a little bit of knowledge of excel, VPNs and would like to do the scans for July when the time comes? 😊 

I know Excel but I don't have a VPN at the moment. Would still be so glad to help and keep myself busy to tame my anxiety monster haha 😂
