It’s crazy you would think being separated from your child would be extreme.

So I’m waiting on my k1 visa and I get there’s a backlog but what’s frustrating me is the London embassy won’t even let me register my 9 week old babies birth so she can get her USA passport. This means I can go out there for 90 days to be with her dad whilst I’m on maternity. He’s missed so much already even her birth. 
How would I even expedite? We asked a congressman for help to get her passport and they forwarded us the same email back that I had been sent. A complete waste of time.!My daughter is a citizen by birth and it’s disgusting they’re not doing it. 
 
I’m actually considering cancelling my K1 visa and doing a cr1. As they are being processed i definitely think the wait will be well over a year. I was tempted to do it in September and should have gone with my gut instinct?
 
any similar expedited experiences? Or people who started again with a cr1?
 
thank you xx 

NOA2: Feb 23rd.
Will probably call NVC after 10 business days for case number.

I took a while to reply as this made me burst into tears.
 
I wish we had got married first I really do. Never in our wildest dreams did we thinks it would be this long.
we chose the k1 route as it seemed to be the fastest option pre pandemic 😷 

Thank you 
 
I need to research how I can expedite. Little miss can’t be this long without her dad 😢

Im Digesting this all and will make sure I correct everything they have suggested. I really need to be extra cautious. 
I am not expecting this process to be fast especially now the U.K. has a new strain of covid. However I’d like to make sure something as silly as me not signing a page doesn’t add further delay.
Thank you for the above information.

Hey all,
I have just seen my case status online and it is requesting more information.
I am so upset and annoyed as I paid an attorney to check and out baby is due next month. 
I’ve come to terms with the extended waits but to think because of an error on my side will delay it further will frustrate me. I’m in the U.K. and my fiancé is in Florida.
so my question is will I have to wait another 9 months for NOA2? 
I think I might crack up, my fiancé flys back to the states today so we will see what is in the letter. I have a feeling it is to do with a conviction he got at 21 being young and dumb and fleeing and eluding on a motorcycle. 
 

First, you don't know what the requested information is. Second, we have seen many couples who have dotted all the "i's" and crossed their "t's" only to find out that they wanted more information that was not contained in the instructions, so don't blame the lawyer till you know where the disconnect is.
 
Technically speaking, an RFE is a written request for more information and documentation that USCIS mails out if they believe that they don’t yet have enough evidence to approve or deny a given application. An RFE normally is a minor item and should not be looked at like it's a denial but an opportunity for you to complete your application. USCIS would not send out an RFE if they were going to deny your application. It's just a step that they must take and once they have your information and it meets their approval then you should be seeing your NOA2.

There are many varying degrees of RFE's. Some as simple as not "ticking" off a question. Others forgot the fiancé(e) letter and then others who met on a website and now need to prove that it wasn't a marriage arrangement website.

Once you get your RFE, read over very carefully as you only have one chance to reply accurately without causing undue harm. Once you know FROM THE RFE what it is set out to correct and to include "everything" they are asking for. Then reread the RFE to ensure you are compliant. Make copies of everything for your record and send back using their instructions which are contained within the RFE. If the RFE requires a signature, PLEASE don't forget this. Include the original RFE letter along with a cover letter explaining what you are including in your reply. Like a checklist format. Once received at USCIS your case will begin adjudication where the agent had left off. No one can tell you how long it will take so be patient. 
 

Thanks I will get onto it. Maybe it was blessing she was so rude.
