Interview 3/15, got an RFE that day without the officer telling us.

No RFE in mail for 25 days. Contacted Congresswoman and Lawyer who sent email inquiry to local USCIS office last week.

No email from either one . 

Today, Case updated, new card in production .

Thank the Lord!!

There was no RFE!!! It was an eerror. We are done with USCIS for at least 2 years! Good luck to all. W hat a complicated journey from K1 - > AOS. Did not even got EAD/AP approval yet.

Waiting for card now. How long will take ?

 

Congratulations! For me, it took exactly one week from the new card in production update. Mine was mailed Monday and got delivered today!

Wow!!! That was fast....and crazy timing! I just heard this morning too that we are scheduled for interview, when our estimate was  late August on. We filed Sep 18 and just got EAD an AP this week .

My suggestion off the top of my head would be let it be and have him fly back but others may know better. 

You say it's generally about a month from notification to appointment? That's what I came in to check...my son was about to book an extended trip back to UK over the summer so we will hold off and wait for the interview now.

Good luck!!

Thanks for replying!! Yes crazy timing indeed!! I really would love to go that route, but I think I’m going to call USCIS to make sure we do the right thing. These things can be tricky. Thank you!!

Thank you both!!

I got an email update from USCIS's website saying our interview is scheduled too. Haven't received the actual letter yet though. NOA1 was 9/28/18.

Hey!

If you don’t mind, when did you receive the email and when did you receive the actual letter? We got our email today and I’m trying to get an estimate of how long it will take because we’ll be out of town. Thanks!!

Roughly 3/4 business days

Hi guys Want to know one thing when we will receive that packet which we can’t open 

Should be the same time you get your passport back with your K1 visa.

You are able to track it via https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx. Select Immigrant visa and enter your case number. When it says "Ready", it has reached the embassy. NVC also emailed my fiance to let us know they sent it to the embassy.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question and I'm not sure if this has already been asked. Anyway... I am currently filling out Form i-134,  i was just wondering if i need to submit this form to USCIS or do I just send it to my fiance together with the packet for his interview?

 

Thank you in advance!

It should be sent to your fiance along with the other docs for the interview

Ok. I'm still not fully convinced because there are NVC received dates and case assigned dates in the spreadsheet that are either identical, or 1-2 days apart. That said, I will call NVC late Monday and see what I get (with no expectations). I'll report back with the results at that time.

By the way, the spreadsheet is not directly linked with VJ timelines. It's simply another place to enter the same (and duplicate) information, and another unofficial source of data, so what you see on the spreadsheet may not actually line up with what is entered into VJ timelines.

 

For reference:

- I-129F NOA2 date is August 6

- NVC agent informed me that the case was received into NVC (from USCIS) on August 17. (That answer was from 2 different NVC representatives yesterday, and very different from the "we have no record of your case yet, and it might take up to 6 weeks to receive the case from USCIS" response I got in the days before that.)

Based on the timelines that I have been following, I'm inclined to believe too that it's really not taking that long. Time from NOA2 to NVC received was 10 working days for me and 1 day to have the number assigned. And I really only called based on what others were reporting. Ofcourse, it varies with this process so maybe we lucked out lol

NO2 was approved on August 1st. I think it's time to call NVC. Does anybody have their number? What information should I prepare before I call them? Thanks.

Oh and we have the same NOA2 date and my fiance called just now and we got ours!!

They don't post the case number. You must call to get that number.

 

Option 1:

Call USCIS. Do not press anything. Do not choose a language. If someone who picked up the phone cannot answer your question, ask them to transfer you to TIER 2.

 

Option 2:

Dial 1-866-953-7684

 

Option 3:

Call 1-800-375-5283

Press 1 to continue to English

Press 2 for case status

Press 1 if you know your receipt number

Press your receipt number 922(WAC) then your numeric receipt number

 

Option 4:

Dial 1-800-375-5283 then press 1,2,2,4,2,1 then enter receipt number then press 1.

@Greenbaum posted it earlier 🤗 I think you need your WAC number and both beneficiary and petitioner's names and DOBs.

So after searching to the end of the internet, and also doing a post on VJ

 

We have collected his -

 

Personal Statement of Military Compensation (PSMC) This calculates all the pay, bonuses, taxed and untaxed money received. 

 

Last year’s W2

 

And a stack of LES’s

 

We we’re going to get a bank statement showing the last 12 months of deposits but apparently you don’t need a bank statement unless you’re below the poverty line 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

Are you ladies going to get a bank statement?

Or a signed letter from their Commander stating their employed and their income?

 

 

Thanks Adrii! I think we are gonna skip the bank statement. I'll try to get him to get that signed letter from the Commander but he says it takes up to 30 days so I'm not sure.

From a few recent timelines I have been following, I'm seeing 8-10 business days.

Hey everyone!

We're starting to gather our supporting docs for the I-134 and want to know if we are on the right track. I keep seeing different info for active duty military. My petitioner is in the USAF.  So far we have his Proof of Service letter, last 3 W2s, IRS Tax Transcript and last 6 LES. Does anyone know if we're missing anything? Thanks in advance!!

You may not have meant to be snarky but that's exactly how you're coming off. I've seen on this very forum stories from many people outlining missteps that one could consider trivial causing lengthy delays in processing. An incorrectly addressed document technically cannot be considered "correct". Let's not discourage persons from exercising the requisite meticulousness that this process demands.

I agree that comments like those can discourage other members from asking questions to get the answers they need. I personally haven't asked any questions in the forum (yet 🙂) but when they arise, I want to be assured that someone will be willing to help, regardless of how 'silly' my question appears to be. That's why I am especially appreciative of @Greenbaum who offers his knowledge and experience daily in the forums.

Yes, from my research you would need to get a new one.
