Also a June filer. I know that the estimate on USCIS’ website doesn’t really mean much but mine went from 5 weeks a couple of weeks ago to 5 months, which doesn’t help with the anxiety factor. We tried expediting our case but it went nowhere, neither with USCIS directly or through our congressman. We sent our paperwork May last year and got the notice in June and nearing the one year anniversary without any answers/predictions is disheartening. Sorry to not bring any news, I just needed to vent. This process is so alienating and every time I try to talk to someone from the US about it, they start with some bizarre racist comments about “certain people” entering the US that they do not approve of, as if it’s supposed to make me feel better 😩
anyways. Best of luck to us. Maybe some good news soon?

Don't worry we are all in the same situation, the estimation for NOA2 should be next month, in June

We officially got the "your case is taking longer than expecting" on the USCIS website lol

Hi,

my wife and I went through a K1 application before getting married. The K1 went well, but got ultimately delivered as "Canceled Without Prejudice" due to COVID-19 pandemic reasons (or something like that). 

About 2 years after this **** event and a tough LDR journey, we got married and applied for CR1 (we now live together abroad while it's getting processed).

My CR1 is currently at the USCIS stage, but I was wondering if the fact that we applied for a K1 in the past, can it have a negative impact? 

I don't think so, but we sometimes overthink ahah 😄

Thanks!

Quick update - received another AR notice today, checked documents and I-130 approval PDF was hiding there. 

 

Caveat - I did expedite through my congressman and the request was approved yesterday. 

 

Hoping for approvals for yall soon!!

"I did expedite through my congressman" how do you do that exactly? did you email your state senator?

Didn't see a thread for June yet, so I will start one (though let me know if I missed it).

 

We were married back in 2017, already went through the K-1 visa process and my wife got her green card, we lived in the US for 2 years and then for family reasons moved back to Chile. Now with two kids with us we are looking to move back state-side. Yay Round 2! 

 

Filed on June 4th online, recieved the Reciept Notice the same day and based on that document it looks like it will be processed in Virginia. I assume this is NOT the same as the official NOA1? I suppose that will come in the mail? 

June filler here AND K1 Filler from 2020!! I am surprised to see I am not alone in this case  😁

2 weeks after still no ANY updates, no reply about the emails etc..  

I don't know what we can do more

Hi,

I just got my K1 visa but the nightmare starts... it's written  CWOP on it; I don't understand at all the officer during the Interview approved it. On NVC it's written. "Issued".


I got a letter with my passport, "After reviewing your case, this office finds that your visa requires additional processing. We will inform you by email or phone w'ere ready to print your visa".

I am all in tears I want to be with my fiancée 

Does anyone know why this kind of thing happen?

My fiancée emailed them but we are waiting on a reply.

Thank you

Hi,

I am filling out a new DS-160 however I have a question concerning this question : 

"Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?"

I started a K-1 Visa in 2017 in an ex-relationship  (went until the payement after the NVC transit, no interview, no medical appointment).



Should I say yes and explain I started a K-1 in a relationship that didn't work or  I have to say no?

Thank you

Ok thank you!

Hello,

So I have my interview in a month for a K-1 Visa. 

So my fiancée doesn't meet the required money (by very close unluckily) but her dad is co-sponsoring us. We did the papers (I got them today through mail) but I think we messed up for her dad we filled the I-864 instead of an I-134 (we thought only the fiancé had to do this form).


Can someone confirm or unconfirm that both sponsors have to do a I-134? It's pretty confusing online   

Apparently the 864 is maybe for the "previous" AOS that Biden cancelled, etc...

Thank you !

Hello it's hard but we try to keep faith.

Only UK people I know got interviews.

I might pay the fees for the embassy since Trump reopened (for a day? lol) the borders - who know's maybe Biden will process the pending interviews

"is not ready for an appointment."
 

oops

There is a PDF on the first page in the first post of this thread where I outline everything that needs to be completed with additional helpful tips. That's a good place to start. Next place is to scour your embassies website for additional information. After that, you should be a part of the conversation for your country here on VJ. Go to the blue ribbon above, select "forums" then scroll about three-fourths of the page down and select the region that most represents where your country is located.  

 

thank you!

Hello everyone

happy new year

With all this delay I am kind of lost with what I have to do; I checked the Embassy in France and  I don't see the message saying they stopped doing K1 (Hopefully they resumed tthem!)

After reading the requirements on the US Embassy France website, it states nothing on how to pay the fee and register. If you case file has not been sent to France and your CEAC status doesn't show ready, you in all likely hood will not be able to register, pay the fee and schedule and interview. So, let's answer this question first. Do you have your case number from NVC? What is your status at CEAC?

Thanks for replying : here is my status:

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing great.

So I am a bit confused, by reading testimonies: so, I have completed my DS-160, 1 month ago (literally), I got the pdf in my emails that shows I did it.

However, now I don't know if I am supposed to get an email from the American Embassy in France telling me to create an account for an appointment, or if I don't have to wait an email from them and create it now?

Thank you for helping

DS-160 filled  

We just have to wait now and it should all be good!

Yes, I am aware of travel bands and they were put in place for a reason, not to spread a life-threatening virus. But my rebuttal is in the way you said that "Trump was responsible for closing down" France. He didn't "close down" (your words not mine) France. He banned travel from the Schengen area (which France belongs) to the US as the pandemic was spreading very quickly. France continued their ways and was free to continue their lifestyle as they saw fit. Reporting facts is much wiser way of communicating the actual event. Just my opinion. Today we know the person responsible for the pandemic is Chairman XI of the CCP but your diatribe is not directed to the factual person who is responsible for the "closing down" of France but to "Trump".

 

The destruction of reason has seen the triumph of ignorance.

To clear some misunderstanding :

When I said "we have to wait because Trump closed everything for France" I meant they closed the US Embassy in Paris, not the whole country lol (which is not the case at the moment)
Also saying "Trump" was a shortcut for Trump's Administration. 

The first message was just to let people know K1 visas are paused at the moment here because I know some other embassies (like India I believe?) resumed their services during Summer

How did Trump succeed in "closing down" France? He is that influential that he was able to "close down" public transportation, restaurants, stores, business's, schools, playgrounds etc. How did he close everything down? What influence did he have that convinced the entire country to "close down" because of him, Trump? Oy Vey!

Trump banned EU for 30 days, you remember? well the 30 days are actually extended and the US Embassies are not processing visas anymore, that's what we got also told in the NVC email

Hello,

we finally got the NVC number after emailing them (that was the solution lol) thanks to the pdf.

Now they say we have to wait because Trump closed everything for France  

Got my NOA2 early july but still waiting for the NVC case number ugh, making me so worried

Did anyone get the letter ? We are still waiting

Hello, good luck to everyone in this final step!

thanks for the pdf
