hi. use the case number to see your status at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/. if its ready it means your file arrived in auh usem

Thank you. It has been ready since January 24th. Blimey! The fiancee says she has a hard time accessing consistent internet. Any suggestions which Cyber cafes to use or people who can assist process this?

I need some guidance here: People with Abu Dhabi experience, please chime in.

So NVC sent my case to Abu Dhabi on 01/22/2019. I have tried tracking the pkg and got error (using the suggestions on here).

On the Abu Dhabi Consulate page, each time am asked to fill out the DS 160 before proceeding. How do I even know they received the NVC package?

Am not sure what to do next here. And what is this Packet 3 & 4 that keeps popping up in conversations?

8. Tracking your case. As a K1, when checking your case online at CEAC.state.gov you have to select　"immigrant visa" as it is treated as such even though it is a　"non-immigrant visa".

 

How so when the DS 160 is clearly marked non-immigrant visa application?

What do you want to track? There are any number of items to track at many different times and different processes.

Just wanted to know what is happening at the NVC - gives 2-4 weeks to process and send case to respective consulate. Am not familiar with the UAE consulate; so I kinda wanted to stay on top of what is happening.

Thank you. Looks like I have to wait for the Case Number from NVC. NOA2 was on 12/11/2018.

Tracking progress...where is this tracker? Or how do you access it?

So the VAWA was based on abuse by a person you were married to?

Yes. I was only married once. 

I was married to a US citizen. I got my citizenship through VAWA - (a manslaughter conviction was involved and he spent some years in jail).  He is out now, but we have not been together for over 4 years. I moved out of state (to Illinois), he remained in Michigan. He stalked me for a while, then everything went quiet.

I met someone else  who works in the Middle East and we want to start a family. I started divorce proceedings 2 months ago, only to find out that my ex never submitted our marriage licence for proper recording. I have a copy of the signed certificate. After the ceremony, the pastor and ex were supposed to file a signed copy with the state. They did not. I do not know where he is. I sent the Sheriff out to serve him at his home and found that the house is on sale. 

I was in communication with the pastor until 3 years ago. 2 weeks ago I found out that the man has been put away for 25 years for sexual misconduct, 1st and 2nd degree, with variables.  As for my ex, the search has pulled up other gun-related felonies and drug issues after I left him. The last blow is that  my maid of honor died abruptly in June 2017.

Questions.

What do I do about a marriage that was not properly filed? Do I file it and then divorce him when I cannot find him?

ICE knows am married, I have a certificate to show, the state says am not married? What happens to my status. I lived with him for 3 years.
