What amazing news!!!! 

Congratulations to all other June Filers who have also been approved 

@vocaledge

I can only assume you are compiling a list of people from June 1st onwards with Approvals? 

Seems like theres more activity today for June 2nd approvals.  congratulations to you all who received your NOA2!! 

June 1st here still sat scrating my head. I Guess being in one of the smallest groups of Filers were likely to be one of the last in June to hear?

This isn't correct, sorry.

I linked the age-appropriate chart issued by the CDC to all embassies.

ucis.gov and travel.state.gov state a foreign national who applies for and immigrant visa is required to receive vaccinations to prevent disease, the list of diseases matches what I stated in my reply. 

The CDC Recommends immunizations for the general population which also include the exact same list, some are only recommendations for people with medical conditions which I disbelieve with your list you wasn't taken into account. Correct me if i'm wrong! So I would hate for people to be ill advised. This isn't a Dig at you, just as a medical professional I would hate to see people given information which isn't specific to them as individuals.

A waver will be given to UK citizens for the Varicella as most of us have been exposed to the chickenpox virus already.

Will a NOA2 notice come only by USPS MAIL or can u see it electronically on the USCIS WEBSITE or by email?

Hard copies are sent, you should also be able to see it electronically and if you sent the form with your application for e-notifications then by email and text message.

That depends where you are located.  In California it is 168.  In the Philippines today is the 17th so it is 169.

169 was including the day of NOA1 and today in the U.K.  

This is nail Bighting stuff reading 5th June filers have been approved and we've heard nothing 😱

So @John & Rose or @The Squirrel - the thing I'm not good at is how many days that would be waiting... its not 180, right?  Or even 170?

June 1st or June 5th, how many days is that to yesterday or today?

Thanks for the assist!

June 1st day 169

Scan is in progress - up to 20th June right now and still going... I didn't see any movement, but I haven't been watching it closely so I look forward to seeing these approvals and RFEs when it is done even just as a sign of things to come!

Congrats @Catseal on your approval!

June the 1st here... @KateWB but no news

I'm a UK filer too.  

 

RFEs can be for anything that was missing from your application - from photographs to proof of relationship, sometimes even just an unchecked box.  You can't really tell until you get it.  An RFE is at least a sign that you have been 'touched', and although it might be seen as a delay, things are usually approved quickly after you provide the requested evidence, so I genuinely don't see it that way.


Get your police check now... it lasts for 12 months and much better to have it ready - it can take a couple weeks.

 

Costs after the initial filing.....

Medical: £300ish + any vaccination costs you require at the time (get them before at your own GP if you haven't already done so).  If they wont do them for free, they will definitely be far cheaper than the embassy doctors in London.

DS-160 in the region of £200.

 

Hope this helps - sorry that I dont have the exact financial figure in front of me, but thats pretty close.

Hi, just wondering where you apply for your Police check? 

Does a Enhanced DBS count for anything?

Hi Kate - I'll have to change my fiance's address in the UK as well. As the petitioner, I couldn't find anywhere to do it on the website, so I plan to call as soon as I have an NOA2. Keep me updated with how things go for you! I'm about a month behind you in the process.  

Thank you for your reply! Yes I shall

I'm not sure you understand yet.

And I don't know what you mean by "I was thinking more of the package that's sent out". What package, from whom, to whom?

 

 A postal letter is sent to you from the embassy at the UK address given on the petition telling you that you may now apply for the visa. You said it would not be forwarded. Correct. You were worried about not getting it. So is there a different "package" you are talking about now?

A package, a parcel, a letter. Does it really matter. I was asking for advice as I'm obviously struggling to understand the process. So yes I do not understand. You are correct!  Thank you for pointing out the obvious....!!!!

Like i I say if they send a letter to my old address stating I can now apply for the visa at the London Embassy I will not receive this as I've moved house. Hence asking how to change my address so I receive it at my new address. Also it's a general question for all letters, packages that I will need to receive to my new address!!!! 

I was thinking more of the package that's sent out, but that's good news it's electronically and all I have to do with the NOA2 is book with the London Embassy. Then I can update the embassy with my new address.

I know there's a way to change the address of the petitioner, but most everything/everyone I've seen talk about changing the address of the beneficiary waits till they receive the NOA2, then contacts the NVC to change it over the phone or by email, while it's still in transit

Looks like I will need to do that. As there is no way to access the mail at my old address and Royal Mail will not redirect packages like that! Roll on receiving the NOA2 for me to be able to contact them to change my address!!

It will go to your old address most likely. Trying to get the beneficiary's address  changed  is kind of hit or miss. BUT the good news---

 

London provides all their K1 instructions on line on their website. Go here https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

Also understand that while you hang out with all the K1s in a May or June thread, each of you will prepare in different ways for the next step...mecical and interview. Each embassy/consulate has slightly different procedures. Get your information from those experienced with U.K. procedures or directly from their instructions on the website. There is also a UK FORUM on this website. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

The problem with it going to my old address is that I can't access it. Also Royal Mail will not redirect packages like that if they are special delivery signed for.

We are a bit of a special case, no worries.  At least you didn't confuse it with Sweden like lots of people in the US do, that's always funny. 

 

I'm English.

Switzerland is not in the EU haha, but I guess that doesn't matter much for the UK either much longer  nice to meet you too!

The tracker App doesn't give an estimated time for NOA2, but the forum puts our estimated receipt time at 22-26 of October, and given that the timeline moves every day one day, that seems optimistic even...

May I ask where are you getting your estimate from?

Well being a federal republic and being part of Europe I thought that would make you part of the EU! I apologise for that 

That would be amazing. Did you see my previous question? 

regarding me the beneficiary changing address since NOA1 has been received. I'm concerned what with the NOA2 date coming up hopefully soon and a package I'm meant to receive. My fiancé the petitioner is currently serving on deployment overseas so he has limited access to do anything about this. Is there anything I can do? 

5 minutes ago, Catseal said:

Switzerland! Not sure if the USCIS App / tracker is including the start day in this count though.

I'm from the United Kingdom! Nice to meet someone in the EU too! I've not worked out the tracker but the estimated time for receiving the NOA2 was October 3rd-13th

4 minutes ago, Catseal said:

1st of June filers here too, but our tracker says 111 days. Welcome!  

 

 

Where in the world are you?

So,  have a question. I can't seem to find the answer on any of these threads. My fiancé is the petitioner. Since the package was sent and the NOA1 received I the beneficiary have moved house. I'm concerned that what with the  possibility of the NOA2 arriving in the next few months the information on what to do next will be sent to my old address. I've also read that it's all sent electronically. Anyone have the answers on the appropriate course of action to take?
