Didn’t your case have the added element of  AWA type criminal record for the petitioner, though?

No it turns out it wasn't AWA type criminal element,  the background checks took awhile but we were approved.

Hello, this same situation happened to me. How did yours end up?

Hi

Nvc sent our petition back to uscis,  13 sep.  We had no idea,  will be calling uscis this week and see what we can find out

Update. 

Received Noa2 12th July 2022

11 Oct, emailed nvc asking if they had received our case.

14 Oct, received a response stating, on the 13th Sep we sent your petition back to uscis

Anyone have any ideas on what happens now?

Hi All, is anyone aware of the next few dates of cases going to embassies? I know cases went out on 9/27 so I’m assuming it will be 10/11 next.

My case was approved 8/3 and I’m still waiting on the case number and welcome letter.

Our noa2 approval was 12th of July.  The next shipment date is the 11th of oct

I'm a U.S. Citizen and the petitioner for a I-129F and I just completed my biometrics appointment here at the Las Vegas field office so the Vermont Service Center can continue processing our petition. What is the next step in our petition? I've been told by USCIS Support that once the biometrics is completed the next step is a decision on the case, but I'm just curious if that's right!  I'm praying and hoping that a decision is the next step as we've been waiting for more than 2 years for any progress on our petition. Has anyone else ever been requested to do a biometrics as the petitioner, if so pls let me know what happened after biometrics appointment. I know in the past with my last two ex-wives anytime they had to do biometrics that a decision was made with in a couple weeks of completing the biometrics. 

We applied for k1 visa in June 2019.  In March 2022 the petitioner did biometrics.  And we received a decision in July 2022.  

There is nothing you can do but wait

Still no word from nvc.  Noa2 12th July

3 years between NOA1 and NOA2 for a K-1?  I have never seen that. 

As you said it wasn't typical,  case was transferred to vermont,  but after 3 years finally approved. 

But not to take away from the OP just try to keep busy, distract yourself.

That is not typical.  How many RFEs did you have to answer?

There was no RFEs.  I was just trying to provide some encouragement,  I know how hard waiting can be.

Hey everyone, just checking in for the first time in awhile.

 

It's been about 14 months since we filed our K1 and still no NOA2 😞

 

Really discouraged and starting to feel like I'll never be able to just live with the love of my life... long distance is so hard.

 

Do you guys think we will get it soon?? It feels like we've been waiting forever.

 

Also once we get it will the rest of the steps be faster?? I wanna start our lives together 😔 

 

My heart goes out to everyone else in the same spot or who has been through this...

We waited 3 years between noa1 and noa2.  It can get very discouraging.  What's important is self love,  enjoy the time you do get together and if you are lucky enough....work like crazy,  lol

Medical was straight forward. I need a blood test for chicken pox immunity and then another flu vaccination because the one I got at chemist warehouse hadn't been put into the system annoyingly but it took two hours and was all very straightforward 

Oh that would be frustrating!!!  I'm glad it was straight forward,  hopefully it's still the same when I go

Our appointment is booked! 7th of September. I'm screaming 

Well done!!  Very exciting.  How was the medical

If I'm understanding the data correctly, there are about 56 timelines with July NOA2 dates, I see 2 that have been updating showing NVC received and or Consulate received. One from July 1st and one from July 12th.

 

 

Make it about 57 with mine in there, lol.  VJ won't let me update 😒.

I finally got the notification that we can schedule the appointment!! But now they won't let us? We paid the fee a few hours ago and now it says that after paying we must wait for the consulate to approve it, again?.. what now?

You don't pay the fee until the interview at the nz consulate.  Unless things have changed

Hey Dale, I'm a kiwi too. I just got my NOA2 July 18th. Do you know what the interview wait times are like at the Auckland consulate? 

Hello fellow kiwi!!  I have no idea about the wait times for the consulate,  sorry I can't help with that

Noa2 July 12th...also waiting for confirmation.  But we are happy to be here

I have an actual update, today I received a letter in the mail from USCIS calling me in to a local office for bio-metrics in mid-april. There wasn't anything posted about it on the case status on the website though. This came a few weeks after I once again made a request for "case outside of normal processing times" earlier this month. I wonder if me doing that is basically pushing them to move along, basically like a "bump". Anyway, I hope this is a good sign. I'm actually going to go visit my fiancee again soon on April 24 so good thing this appointment is before that.

A few of us with cases transferred to Vermont have within the last month received the same biometrics appointment letter.  It's definitely a step to an answer

I traveled twice to the USA while awaiting k1.  Once in Feb 2020 and I arrived Dec 2021 and left end of Jan 2022.  I was never asked for letters or any proof even though I did have them.  The officer asked my reason for visiting took my prints on the little machine and that was it.
