Hello:

How is everyone doing? In anticipation of my fiancee joining me in the US, we are looking forward and trying to plan ahead. I would like to know if you have any expereinces of having bulk shipping done from the Uk to the US? Either you or your fiance/fiancee? or any one else. I 'm looking for your experiences with the shipping process, as well as references/shippers/freight forwarders, do's and don'ts, contact information, etc....!

Thanks all. And all the best.

Thanks for the replies. So, Aymerlu, the birth certificate name was not an issue at the time of visa issuance??? Thank you, and Congratulations on the visa , the baby and the wedding. What a triple treat!

My husbands name was different on his birth certificate and his passport. We went with the most recent, being his passport and we were fine.

Congratulations! and all the best.

Current Status:

This case has been approved. On September 18, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business hours.

Thanks God!!!! And thank you VJ.....I 'll keep praying for jabree,icey,michelle....Come on guys!!!!!

Hello:

I am a recent petitioner for the fiancee visa. We discovered a couple of things recently. The spelling of my fiance's last name on her birth certificate differs from her current (non-US) passport name by a couple of letters. The name essentially reads the same in the native language. The application was submitted with the name shown on the passport. Now, I understand that my finacee is required to provide her birth certificate etc? With the difference in the spelling, would it be wiser to file an amended application with the difference in the last name noted? Notify the USICS of the difference? Are there any other procedures one can take to remedy this? If you've experienced something similar, I would appreciate hearing how you handled your situation.

Thank you, and good luck to all.

Thank you, YuAndDan. I appreciate the quick response. All the best in getting the visa real soon. Cheers.

Hello all:

First, I'd like to thank the moderators of this website and forum. What a wealth of information this site is! Truly, thank you.

My situation: I filed my I-129F in early September and received the receipt notice today (Sept 18, 2006). I have browsed several of these forums, but still have a few questions regarding the process and the documents to be submitted. I understand that each of our situations is unique, so plesse bear with the questions. As for the application, I have sent in all the information that USCIS requested in the I-129F information sheet.

I filed my petition with the Nebraska SC, but I received an NOA from the California SC. Have checked the processing times at the CSC. Does a date of March 8, 2006 mean that they are just starting to process those? Looking at the timelines that many of you have submitted, it looks like it's taking 3-4 months before first action is taken, and that the average time is 7 months for the interview and visa. Is CSC processing slower than the other Sercive Centers?

What are the things I can do to prepare for an RFE? Also the IMBRA? I see a lot of discussion about the IMBRA. We did not meet through an international marriage broker? Is the IMBRA RFE subsequent to the process of the initial application? The form I submitted is: Form I-129F Instructions (Rev. 05/23/06) N. There are a couple of questions regarding the IMBRA on the form. So can I expect more RFE for this? What can I do to be prepared.

I met my fiancee during her visit to the US as a tourist.I am not asking for any professional opinioins, but, in your experience or to your knowledge, can my fiancee "safely" travel to the US while my application is pending or is being processed by the USCIS? What are the pros and cons of her travelling to the US prior to obtaining the visa?

Since my fiancee is a UK resident, what are the things she can do in advance of of RFE's or a visa interview? Is there a procedure to obtain the police report? Any information you can shed on this is greatly appreciated. Any other do's and dont's are appreciated.

I wish the very best for all of you waiting to get your fiance(e)'s here. Goodluck and Cheers.

Thank you again,

Hello:

There's never such a thing as a silly question. As a fairly new petitioner for a fiancee visa, let me try to explain what I understand of the different processes, etc.

When you send in an application of any sort to the USCIS, you get an acknowledgement from USCIS with a receipt number. As a petitioner, you can then register on the USCIS website at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp. Click the link to "Create/Edit customer portfolio account" for new accounts. Fill in the required information. Activate email notification on the screens that follow, and voila, you are set. I just set up my account and got an email acknowledgment from USCIS.

Everytime, there is some action on your case (touching) - then you are notified of the kind of action taken, etc.

Hope that helps. All the best. :-)

Hi, I just sent out my AOS package today and didn't see a section requesting an email address on any of my forms. I mailed all of them together, as instructed by the immigration officer at my InfoPass interview. I sent the I-485, I-765, I-130, I-693, I-864 and G-325A forms together to the Chicago lockbox. I keep seeing on people's timelines "RFE by email" or "touched"...

So I'm wondering... 1st how/where did you provide your email address? And what is "touching" or being touched? Probably silly questions, but figured I'd ask anyways

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
