KBA

Hello, I am trying to find which K1 group might be at the same point that I (finally) am...I am a June 2017 filer and just received an RFE last week. Sent in the reply now waiting for NOA2. Good luck everyone!

Yes, the old saying is "The squeaky wheel gets oiled first",,  however, If a wheel squeaks too loud, it just gets replaced" LOL

 

In my case, I had to something because my case was so far out of normal processing times..waiting 441 days for an RFE is absurd.

That's more than a year! 😮 You hung in there because you knew they still had your papers...? The inquiry and congress man told? Or did you just knew nothing, waiting and hoping something would ever come out of it...

I did a lot of inquiries, called, went to the field office, had my congresswoman call and I submitted a case to the Ombudsman. The response we kept getting was that the security checks were still pending. It wasn’t until we filed a lawsuit that we received the RFE. 

Just hang in there...you can submit an inquiry or contact your congressman. I didn’t have success with either unfortunately and had to wait over 400 days for an RFE finally. Every case is different but definitely keep being the squeaky wheel and eventually you’ll get an answer. Hang in there!

Every way is good to send just have tracking and signature and send it to the right department. 

 

Seriously 😐 

Thank you! I guess there’s finally a light at the end of this tunnel? Hopefully 😤

 the biggest facepalm ever... I just hope it was only because they saw that and decided to go full power background check because they couldn’t decide or something..

 

please just wrap this up and Come to AOS already.

Well it certainly is interesting timing that we received this after filing a lawsuit! Does anyone have input on the best/fastest way to return the RFE? My lawyer says FedEx but I thought so read some issues about FedEx a million years ago when we started this process 🤦🏼‍♀️

... seriously??? Seriously!!!???

 

On the conspiracy side of my thoughts:

Did you check your copy? 

 

Youre sure there is nothing from back back back and they dig up something? (I’m just saying this because of the paranoia after john’s Case... you know just in case it is another chance to correct or something?)

The question is on Part 3, section 4a...I didn’t answer it because I had answered NO to questions 1 through 2a-c. Seriously?!?

The one about criminal record which I do not have! 🙄

I can’t believe this is what has been holding us up this long and I feel terrible about it! 😩

Which box was it?

The one about criminal record which I do not have! 🙄

We got the RFE in the mail today...because a box wasn’t checked! Seriously?!? 🤯 Cannot believe it took this long! I could’ve sworn I checked the box it will look at my copy of our application when I get home later.

That is GOOD NEWS!!!!  They are looking at the petition and if you answer them satisfactorily it will be an approval!  I'm sorry it took so long but this is better than not hearing anything.  

Thanks!! I can’t believe it’s been so long!! I’ll let you guys know what it is once I receive the letter.

.... couldnt find words.. but I hope its a "yay"

Yes, there are so many words that could be appropriate!! Unbelievable that it took this long for an RFE 😦

We are getting an RFE! After 441 days! 🤯 Now to wait and see what it is!

Cmon, get approved already!

 

Guess you’re getting a response any day now on the legal side.

They have 60 days to respond so should know something by late September. What an ordeal!

So sorry to hear this
I think a few people in June 2017 and July 2017 experienced similar things
MAybe they can shed some light on how/if they resolved the issue

@Faisal1 @KBA

It might be that the security checks are indeed pending and that they’ll hear something soon. Unfortunately for us st day 425, we still are  getting the same answer that security checks are pending. We filed a lawsuit and they have 60 days to respond. 

@Martin3517 How’s it going? Are you married yet?

404 days since noa1 and still waiting to hear back about medical approval and hopefully getting an interview scheduled... But this is painfully slow. Happy for everyone who is done and I sympathize with others who are still waiting. This just plain sucks... 

I feel your pain at day 404 waiting for NOA2. I can’t believe there’s such a delay considering how long it’s been since your NOA2! That seems crazy! I hope you hear something soon

In my opinion that is rediculous my heart breaks for you. The system is definitely flawed 

Thank you...just trying to keep our eyes on the prize

When they are already confused.why that greencard is making them confused more... 

They  are stupid its been 390 days for my case too ,..immigration....

Well I think it confuses them because he had asked to be able to live in the states in the past but then changed his mind...a lot has changed since then and he also has a son here so yet another reason to be here

No clue as to what the delay is. We are now siting on packet 4 for scheduling the interview. It's now been over a year 

 

Been 13 months for us waiting for NOA2

Do you have a theory on why this happened to you? Did they tell you anything at all?

One thought is that he had a green card almost 20 years ago when his father was going to move the family to the states...my fiancé didn’t end up moving because of his work and ended up giving the green card back (willingly). We are told this apparently “confuses” immigration...

Hey, any progress on your case yet?  Hoping to hear great news from you @KBA

Thank you...we decided to file a lawsuit so that we can at least get an answer. Feel like our case is sitting on a shelf collecting dust...it’s been 13 months afterall! Hopefully we will know something by this Fall so we can make some decisions

We applied in July of 2017.

We just received our NOA2 at the beginning of June 2018...

Crazy, any idea why it was delayed? We’re still waiting

So you're June 2017 filer. That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Did you submit case inquiry or congressman? I submitted inquiry twice and both told me to wait for 60 days. I wonder if there's anything else I can do cause I also can't meet my husband during the process. 

I have done all of the above and submitted an inquiry through the Ombudsman...all to no avail. Way too long for a K1. We decided to pursue a lawsuit now to at least give us an answer so we can plan our life...
