Hello!!!
Just wanted to tell you that it is okay to feel how/what you're feeling right now. Sure, I try to enjoy my day and be thankful for having my fiance in my life, but sometimes forcing myself to be positive makes it worse. I know no one here is saying we have to force ourselves to be positive, but that's just something I do to myself sometimes. It is also harder for you since you don't have friends near you.. When I went to the states for the first time, I was soooo depressed because I had no one with me so I understand the feeling of loneliness. And I can't imagine that you're going through this process with that situation. So even though you may not be able to give yourself a round of applause, I will!! I also understand that you feel you have to stay home and save money for future. I feel the same way so I haven't seen my friends for a while now, and some of my friends (even though they are really good people) seem not understanding that.. Any feelings you have are important; sad, mad, happy and more. I can't give you any advice since I am also struggling with it, but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this even though you may feel like it. And you have every right to feel how/what you feel:)

Of course, I try to keep it positive as much as I can, and I love seeing the positive posts here. When I get really frustrated and worried about my visa situation, I come here and read everyone's post. I love my friends, but they don't really understand what I am going through because they have never done it. So I am really thankful for having this website where I can share my thoughts and read everyone else's!:)

Yup!! He's (petitioner) got his eye on the goal moreso than me and he has to remind me constantly. I'm lonely and irritable with him. I worry we won't have enough evidence of happy times between NOA1 and the embassy interview....thats how depressed I am. And I also worry that we'll get denied and won't have any other options. I'm having a really hard time😔

Anyone struggling emotionally with this wait? I feel like every fourth day or so I’m having mental breakdowns or disagreements with my bae.. knowing I’m not going to see him for another few months really sucks.. I can’t imagine how the May/June/Juliers feel

We asked them if the K1 visa was a faster process than the CR1.
They answered "yes"...
The lie detector test proves within 99.99999% certainty that THAT was a lie!

To adjust from a visitor visa you will need to file:
I-130 -$535
I-485 -$1140+$85 biometrics fee
I-864
I-765 (optional, but recommended)
I-131 (optional, but recommended)
 
Total cost: $1760
 
Remember that you should only adjust status this way as long as your original intent upon entry to the US was solely for a visit and not a plan to get married and adjust. Your intent was determined at your point of entry, but remember that coming on a visitor visa with the intent to marry, stay and adjust is visa fraud. 
Otherwise, follow the guides that @SaRy posted and good luck. 
 

There apparently an October filer got approved 😂😂😂
 
i think theyre coming backwarss and we will meet in the middle 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
i dont even know anymore ahahahha

Also unless they update online (and they don't) we can't claim these cases- they just go on and say someone is lying to you to get you frustrated.
 
and yes that is actually a reply we got before...
Yep because this is a glitch. Really not a normal thing. If it was all around November I would say they're trying to work on two ends but it doesn't seem like it.

Can this be "starred". So we can just repost anytime anyone is confused about where petitions go. Lots of misinformation gets repeated on here.

Nobody is at Texas service center.
 
lockbox is not a service center, it is the gathering space then they send all k1 to California. K1 doesn't automatically go to any other service center by California. California later may transfer your case depending on different reasons (for example past crimes etc goes to Vermont) but this changes your case status and it literally says "your case has been transfered blah blah..."
 
people just made the the mistake of thinking that it goes to california.
 
wac number = california

I think they were both incredibly lucky. The priority date isn’t used with a K-1. 

F-U(CIS)) should be our new slogan 
 
and yes nobody should be separated this long... I understand they need to check etc. but this was a process that could be done in 1.5 months in the past.
And it should be that way again. now only if the administration actually cared about that....

I understand what the conversation meant now. 
AND I agree with you on all fronts.
I can only hope that this means there are changes coming soon with the process. Right now it might mean that we are left in the dark (A news bulletin would be nice from F-U(CIS)) but if it is a positive step towards getting things moving forward quicker even if it doesn’t happen for 2018 applicants, I’m hopeful it will help others in the future. Nobody deserves to be away from the one they love for even 69 days nevermind 365.
 

Woooooowwwww! 
You just hit the powerball in my books!!!! Congrats x 100000000!
The only thing I’d say is double check that your WAC# and that all other info matches your NOA1. I’m sure it’s not a mistake. 
 
Alright VJ Veterans: how do we explain this before the rest of us get our hopes up?

Wow congrats!
 
ok can somebody explain to me what the hell uscis is doing now???
I actually sure hope so seeing more than 1 approval makes things a little different...

Much of what will happen now is described in the body of the letter as per timing wise. 
Your role now is to prepare all of the financial documents/ updated intent to marry/ evidence of ongoing relationship etc required for the interview at the embassy (which you will have to snail mail to your Fi). Your fiancé will also have to complete a package DS160 online and submit it to the embassy as well to receive an interview date. Then your Fi will move forward with obtaining the medical (after the interview date is received but before the interview). This of course, is after NVC does it’s processing and forwards the application to the embassy. You need the application number from NVC to deal with anything for the embassy but in the mean time you can prepare all the documents in advance. Check out @Naes‘s signature. It has lots of info. 
 
@Naes, remind us what the expiry date on the NOA2 is for please...

The interview has to be scheduled before that expiration date, if cannot you should call the embassy or send a letter from the petitioner to extend it.
