Hi Fatima!
This is my second time applying for my husband. 
I filed again June 2017 with USCIS, it was approved February 2018 
NVC CC was June 25th 2018 and we received our interview on June 28th

His interview is in August.

Call the NVC and check if they have set up an interview for your husband!

Hi everyone. Would like to ask. Is anyone of you experienced that the police certificate from other country is expired already and you presented it on your k1 visa interview?? Im from philippines. Got my case number last week. I've been worried about my police certificate from qatar coz its expired already. I worked there for 4 years and before I went home I get my police certificate coz I knw its one of the requirements for k1 visa. Please help me. Thank you. 

Hello @trisha_bogs, you will need police certificates for any country you resided in for over 6 months after the age of 16 except the USA. It needs to be less than 12 months old.

Police certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. You are not required to renew a police clearance letter from your previous country of residence if you have not travelled to that country after the date of the issuance of such letter

Okay I finally got my IIN and Case number from the NVC today!!!! Woooohoooo!!! Finally!! So... moving on up! 

@CloveD Congratulations! Hopefully mine will be in the next few weeks also! Did you pay your fees? Submit your documents? 

I would recommend you keep all records of your chats, call logs, texts, emails, fb messages or (whatever social platform you communicate with her through). Make sure to print all pictures you have. Make copies of any money transfers, hotel reservations, vacations, trip itineraries, purchases/receipts, engagement party reservations, possible engagement ring pictures, credit cards, bank account, screen shot facebook relationship statuses, any proof of your relationship on social media is helpful WHATEVER YOU HAVE THAT LINKS YOU TO HER needs to be saved. 

Notarized affidavits from friends and family as well as pictures of social gatherings with friends and family are good also.  

She should take everything with her to the interview and make sure she knows tons of information about you for the interview!! Including  but not limited to: your car model/color, your job, your birthday, your siblings & parents & children's names locations etc, past relationships/marriages, your education (high schools, college names, locations), which bank you use and how much you have saved, any health issues, your 401k or retirement plan, your life insurance policy, your birthplace, your address, your income and whatever else you can think of. 

It may be a little hard to prove, but it has been done before. Use the criticism on this thread constructively and you should be good to go.

Good luck!

Okay so I told y'all I was gonna call as my case number was given to me over the phone on the 9th of march and no email yet, I called and they said they sent out the email but we didn't get any. I called again today and inquired , Same story they sent it already and I pressed on that we haven't received it only for her to read out the email address it was sent to on the 16th, turns out they put in a zero in place of an o !! In the email address, Please keep calling and verifying everything, we were waiting for an email that would never have come cuz of that little mistake . The agent said they will resend it within 1 week. Too many protocols I tell you. ...smh 🤦‍♂️

Well they can give you your invoice number on the phone as well! Pay everything so that you can send out your civil documents and AOS documents ASAP

Okay folks... so I just called the NVC.. I'm also waiting for my IIN and case number as well. My petition arrived at the NVC on 2/23/18. So... the lady that I just spoke with (very sweet lady) told me that what happened is that the USCIS sent over way too many approvals at one time, and they are back-logged as a result of that. She said, but once you get your case number, then things move pretty timely. Just wanted to give y'all an update! Good luck to all of you! 

Hey @CloveD Mine arrived at NVC on 3/12/18 so we're about 2-3 weeks apart. I still haven't received mine, I'm guessing it will near the end of April for me  but keep us posted when you receive yours! 

Approximately how long did it take for you to get a case number assigned right now? I know they're saying 8 weeks is the current wait time. It's been 3 weeks for me, so 5 more to go!

Can I reach out to a senator ? 

 

I helped someone through campaigning, They might write a letter for us.

 

If they do, Is there any chance NVC might accept expedite ? 

Yes you definitely can reach out to your State Representative or Senator. If you're situation is severe enough, then you should! 

You can send another request with further evidence of your need for expedite. Include anything you find necessary and related to your hardship. 

Good luck dear!

Hope the OP can work it out with his current wife (and mother of his child). Hopefully  he does not need to start another K1 or else in the short time. 

You would think USCIS would notice the pattern...

It's suggested to carry a notarized letter from the other parent (whether married or divorced, and whether the travelling adult is a USC or not) giving consent for the child to travel outside of the country....from my own experiences with this travelling to different countries with my daughter (and without my husband) I've learned that the letter is not a legal requirement in any way and rarely asked for by POE (personally, I've never had it asked for by an airline before boarding).

My children and myself are all USC and in Germany an officer required that I show it to her. Thankfully I had it!

Sounds like the OP thinks that because he brought the wife over - he owns her.

YESSSS my exact thoughts!

Thank you! I'm hoping for everything to start moving quickly soon. Has your case been completed at NVC @teasamed ?

Hi I petitioned for my husband . USCIS received it on March 1st 2018. I receive the NOA1 on March 12th. Then on March 16th, they sent the RFE, for the i130A. I responded to the RFE on March 20th. I am a US citizen. How long will it take to receive the NOA2? Thank you 

Hi Camarasaran! 

I've read all of the responses and it's alright, take your time updating your timeline!

Some important factors in the processing time of your petition are:
1) Your service center (this can be figured out by the first 3 LETTERS of your receipt number)
2) Which country your spouse is from
3) If you submitted all documents and evidence correctly (i.e: Bonafide marriage evidence, civil documents, signing i-130, etc)
4) If your spouse is residing in US or abroad

I submitted IRS Transcripts for 4 years showing I make usually between 50-60k, I showed that I own my house with no mortgage. I have been here since January to show a bonafide relationship because of his Embassy. I presented a letter from the same employer I have had for 4 years showing they are holding my position, and waiting my return. She said nope things change, and she wants a joint sponsor. My sister who makes 95k sent it in and we waiting. However she said you approved, ai need this.... but this crazy to say refused and I agree something’s missing here. I hope it works out and you get to the bottom of it. Good luck . 

Maria1989, 

I'm sorry to hear about your situation  !!! Good luck dear <3

not quite  

the USC has to already be eligible for SS (retired) and collecting when he passes and then the spouse can collect 

otherwise the spouse has to wait until they are of retirebent age (SS now set that at 72)

and as far as standing up to the embassy,  there have been many complaints but we (USC) are not allowed to sue a government enity / we can lodge a complaint with different agencies but they are not much help in  ost of these cases and if anything was done ,  would take several years to resolve

https://hackinglawpractice.com/what-happens-after-you-file-a-lawsuit-against-uscis/

That is a link to a firm that claims to have successful lawsuits against USCIS. Of course I wouldn't advise to this unless it is a situation that has left the USC in extreme hardship, but it has been done.
