No they didn’t require it any letter of employment, although we had it just in case 

Okay, thank you!

Also - will you let us know when you receive your visa? So curious about the times! Our interview is the 13th. 

For you or your sponsor did you have a letter of employment with your affidavit of support or just the tax return? Thanks!

Just the ds160 online and pay your visa fee. I made a ustraveldocs login sent my receipt and info and they scheduled my interview . The only thing we stuffed up on is my fiance ( now husband ) had sent me the wrong affidavit of support form. I organised the medical and picked up the reports the day before I flew to embassy for interview. It all happened so quickly. I had so much extra evidence of support that wasn't even looked at.

Do you know where I pay the fee and how much it is? What is us traveldocs? Also where can I get the right affidavit of support? Sorry for so many questions! Last thing - will they email us to schedule email or send the notice in the mail? He's currently here on a visit with me because we had no idea it would go this fast! We were thinking it would take much longer.

I recently immigrated from Australia which has the online system . We got the same notice of expedited case without ever applying. Once we received notice everything happened super quickly You are so close now congratulations. 

Yay! Thank you! I do have a couple questions. So I filled out the online forms, will we still have more forms we need to fill out and send in? Or just the ones we will need to take to the interview?

Others can correct me if i'm wrong...but i seem to recall several people from the earlier this year who did k1s having the same experience. And this happened in relation to nvc or was it the local embassy where the beneficiary will be interviewing (i cant remember exactly which one) transitioning into an "online system". This did not happen for all though, only in some cases where the online system is already in place such as (again if i remember correct) germany.

They did tell us to fill out an online Nonimmigrant Visa form (DS-160). Maybe Montreal has the online system you are talking about?

Are you living abroad with your fiance? It's generally not normal to expedite without a request, but I heard they may expedite for couples living abroad. But I thought that was only for a spouse, not a fiance....and because DCF wasn't available in the home country.

No, I am living in the U.S., my fiance (who I am petitioning for) is here with me visiting. He has been going back in forth from Canada the past year.

Where is the expedite request? Maybe I filled it out and do not remember since we did all the initial forms and paperwork back in May.

Please give your details ,   I just sent form I-130 ,   Waiting for response , I want to know you sent k3 after. I -130 form

I am doing the K-1 visa. We sent in the initial forms and paperwork May 1st, 2017. 

We just received an e-mail that was titled, "immigration visa case has been expedited"

in the email it said "The U.S. Embassy in ________ approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your petition to this U.S. Embassy for their action. The Embassy will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview."

This was coupled with an email to me saying the NVC received our case. We received our NOA 2 on October 4th.

My question is, is this normal? I don't remember filing anything to expedite it. Is this just a normal email response from the NVC?

The k1 90 days to marry is completely different than his 180 days of visiting. 

This is more of the answer I am looking for. Since its two different visas (tourist and a k-1) even if he was here for 180 days  (on several different trips) he would still be allowed in on his k-1 since that grants him a separate 90?

Isn't a continuous 180 days stay considered overstay or close to it? if so, why risk mayor issues now that you are at NOA2?

I said in my post it has been over four different trip this year. Has not been continuous.

My fiancé has been visiting here with me for a little while and we were calculating how many days he has spent in the U.S. this year so that we make sure he does not go over his 180 days (he's Canadian). He is currently at 96 days this year over four different trips. We just received our NOA 2 two days ago.

My question is, as long as he goes back to Canada after he spends 180 days here in the U.S. will he be okay in terms of following all visa guidelines? Our plan is that at ~170 days he flys back and waits for his interview date. if we don't already have it by then. Then he re-enters with his k-1 and we get married. The k-1 90 days is separate from his 180 days as a tourist correct? Sorry if that is confusing! 

Also how lenient are they if I have somehow miscalculated the days and he is over by a few?

thanks!

The email said "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number _______."

is that the NOA1?

They sent me the text/email that they received it, but also deposited the check. I haven't gotten a NOA1 yet but they said they went it to the California center. Some people said they might take the money?

Well they deposited the check? So now I just wait and see if I get a NOA1?

I just received a text that they received my case. I filed with the old I-129F and not the new one. People told me previously that they would either take it or reject. IF they do reject would they have already done it or will they not reject it til they start going through it in a couple of months? Thanks!

Okay thank you! That makes me feel much better...so worst case I am rejected and will be about a month behind..

Sorry to double post I just do not understand how it is legal to say on the website that they will accept them, then reject it and take your money. Completely illegal in my opinion...

I sent our package this morning and did not know about the new form. I read some are getting through some are not. If it isn't will they do an RFE or will it be a flat our rejection? Will I have to pay another fee? I am so upset right now I do not know what to do..
