We are filling concurrently,

I also got I-693 deficiency notice 

Hi guys! 
Our PD is 12th of Jan

Got letter for biometrics 1st of March 

Biometrics 19th of March 

Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview- 20th of April 

still no EAD and AP 

Our local office is Houston so I’m sure it will take long to have the interview lol at least I prepared myself for a long wait 😂

Did you already realize that they’re reopening just for students? Yes I was happpy and excited too but no anymore. My friend called US embassy in Warsaw, Poland today, woman was extremely grumpy and she said that k1 is under the proclamation from March ( this about travel ban). She even said it might not be processed till end of the year (does she know how long the ban will be on?). The thing I’m trying to say is don’t get too excited. Most of embassies is only reopening for students. Sorry for negativity but after 4 months of being positive I am done

anyways I’m very happy for New Zealand as far as I see they’re reopening for everyone.

but embassies in banned countries can only dream about that

Heyyy guys don’t be so pessimistic. We also waiting our interview in Warsaw, but I live in Belarus. Will be soon 2 years since we married, CR1 visa. For us it’s more frustrating. I heard that embassy in Ukraine started reschedule interview for spouses. So I really hope we will get good news from them soon. Be positive! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’ll have my K1 interview in Warsaw too! 
let’s hope they’ll open soon. 
they canceled June appointments, and new appointments are possible starting July 20th. I know a girl she has her k1 interview the 23rd of July. Let’s hope they won’t cancel July appointments

I feel like this is a play from the Trump administration to limit immigration by all means necessary. They want the country open, but Visa's are on hold indefinitely. My fiances interview was scheduled April 13. They canceled and still nothing from the embassy about rescheduling. We would have been married by now. Now we all just sit and wait. I am furious. I made sure all the paperwork was perfect and he was tracking to be here in a little less then 6 months until this happened. 

That’s what I was thinking too. Now it’s the best time and reason to suspend immigration and play with our feelings.

we were planing our wedding in August, eh 😩

I know immigration is not a right but what about trying to get the press to talk about the emotional trauma the whole uncertainty of not knowing when we will be with our loved ones is causing. The fiancee visa is supposedly an expediate visa but now we are left in limbo. At least, those pursing the spousal visa can visit. What is the great difference between them and us? I really am at a loss of ideas, but I think we need to try anything at least. Maybe a front page article on an important newspaper. A joint letter of K1 petitioners to the white house? I know I may sound ridiculous, the feeling of despair is very stressful.

I extremely agree with the emotional trauma. Uncertainty is taking over. It’s been harsh on mental health.

I guess it’s time to talk to my fiancé about moving to Europe. We’ll stay here in Poland or Ireland till next year when things start moving forward. He is down for this too.

Immigration to the US sucks a lot but now it just sucks entire energy out of me. I just want to be with him and go through this uncertainty together.
 

or let’s create a petition about finally taking care of us fiancés

I think the issue is the airports are not allowing international flights. Like if a visa is granted and there are no flights out what is the point. My personal opinion once the international flight begin to happen in your country the embassy opening will follow soon after... just my personal opinion.. 

Poland just opened the borders, flights resume tomorrow within EU countries. My guess is that we are banned so I can dream about embassy open anytime soon. There will be second wave and we won’t be able to have interview and finally be with our fiancés. Nobody cares about us and that’s it. Sounds pessimistic because it looks pessimistic

The islamabad website has no updates 😭😭   . They should just check temperatures and let them in ! When do you think good news will come ?

That’s what  I’m saying, checking temperature, consul behind the glass and we are all set. I just think they like complicating and playing with people’s lives.

The DOS has published it reopen plan.  Consulate operations are not until phase 3.  To the best of my knowledge,  nobody is at phase 3 yet

I didn’t find this info anywhere. Could you please share the link? 
is it about phases of easing the restrictions in each country?

Im 168 days and its nerve wracking seeing all those approvals from later days. 
 

the processing times from USCIS say they Are now processing October 22nd cases but that is obviously not accurate, since cases from more recent months get approved. 
 

Hope good news come soon for everyone!

 

I feel you, 154 days here and seeing one December approval weekly makes me feel like it’s a joke

I don't think you can inquire about the case status unless you filed in October (as of writing).

I can’t now but I’m sure lots of us will do so in July 😩 guys on my case tracker is 87 non approved people from Dec 20th!! 
The last one was approved last week. It will take forever 

151 days today. I have days when I’m being positive and sometimes just like ughh. The page of people receiving NOA2 is full of January and February fillers. Weekly only 2-3 fillers with December NOA1 get approved. Yes only a few, I’ve noticed that. I feel like we’ll reach the point that we’ll be calling USCIS. 

On my case tracker there is no many approvals of 20th Dec. 

This is messed up. 
I just hope that Ban will be lifted soon so I can fly on ESTA to my fiancé.

Sounds like you provided what you could, and you have proof of multiple meetings, so I would not worry about it too much.

 

If you get the chance to meet again, or if your fiancé comes to Poland when you have your interview, you can add the additional information at that time.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot!! 
He was here with me for 3 months after we sent our petition but yes, we are hoping he’ll come visit me again when the current world’s situation clears. 

We are December 20th and nothing yet. Meanwhile January and February fillers are getting approved. I don’t know how it works but I guess we got someone slow to review the petitions. 

Hi everyone!!
I feel like my case is quite unique and I wanted to ask you how it actually looks. During the hard time right now with the whole Covid-19 situation I’ve been wondering if me and my fiancé put enough proof of our meeting during the last 2 years in our I-129f packet. 
So the story started when I was an Au Pair in the US and I lived in CA. When I went on my trip to Texas (Sep 2018) I met a great man the night I went with one of my friends to one of the dancings. Well, since then we’ve been talking a lot and really liked each other ( we were spending hours talking or texting) but we didn’t meet anymore in the US ( I couldn’t ask for more days off and he couldn’t travel to CA because of work schedule) so we decided to meet in Europe (I’m from Poland). I returned to Poland in Feb 2019. We took a trip to Belgium in April 2019 and then to London (Sep 2019). Sent our petition in December, Our NOA1 is Dec 20. As a proof of meeting we put my J1 visa scan and stamp,passport, my DS2019, his passport stamps from Belgium and my boarding passes ( I’m from European Union so I use only my ID to travel around and obviously I’m not getting stamps on EU territory)we put also boarding passes of me and him from London and the hotel reservation, my receipts from London and pictures we took together in Belgium ad London (4 or 5 picks. The picture from London is pretty good cause we took it at the subway station, this typical London one so it’s visible that’s London. The thing I’m trying to ask if this is enough? I see that lots of you mentioned that stamps and photos are the best proof but he didn’t get the stamp in London and I didn’t get stamps anywhere in EU 😭 and I’m overthinking that maybe they are gonna think that in the US I lived in CA and he is from TX so that might be weird. 
Hope some of you’ll advise something.
My fiancé was here with me in Poland (Jan- April). He stayed 3 months and we officially got engaged Here and he met my entire family. 
I guess I’m just worried since we didn’t get our NOA2 yet. In case of RFE, what should we do? I feel like I literally put everything in the petition

So my last numbers are 809. But numbers around are not for I-129f petition but for work authorization. There is one 807 which is for K1. WHAT IF THEY PUT MY PETITION IN THERE WITH WORK AUTHORIZATION  AND I WILL WAIT A YEAR

I saw today an approval on Facebook group, with December 20 NOA1..... in the next days/weeks we’ll hear news as well . 

Oh yes I actually saw it too. I feel like they finally started approving/ sending RFEs of December people so let’s hope we’ll hear something very soon ❤️

Guys, someone with NOA1 on December 20th got already approved? I feel like people with that date are stuck
