For form I-485, when K1 and K2 derivative apply for AOS (I485) concurrently, the fee for the K2 is reduced to $950

Yes , we filled it out as you described. Thanks for your help. When resubmitting this application , Can we pay the reduced fee for submitting applications together ? or is this considered a separate applcation now since it was rejected snd sent back when filed with the K1 AOS application?

Hello All, Once agian Im hoping to get some guidance from this great group. We filed for AOS (I485) for K1 and K2 derivative totgether. The K1 application was accepted, but the K2 application was sent back with a letter staing that "your priotity date could not be established" . I included a cover letter explaining that there was an application for a K! and K@ tohether. Also inclued the NOA2 I have 3 questions: 1. How does USCIS determine priority date for K2 applicant? 2. Since the K2 I-485 was rejected, do I now pay $1440 since USCIS did not allow the applications (K 1and K2 AOS) to go through together ? 3. From the letter is it ok to to resubmitt the I693 and dont need to get it sealed again? Please see photos of the letters they sent. 4. The yellow letter speaks about a timely filing but does not give any instructions how to dtermine if the resubmission will be a timely filing. What does that all mean. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you!

Thank you crazy cat for trying bu this link is broken. Can someone please provide an answer. I find the fees very confusing since there are different fees for children and when applying together........

I was hoping that some kind pesron can take the time to list the fees for 485/131/ 765 when filing all togethr for a K1 and a K2 applicant. The k2 is 10 years old. Thank you, I could not do all this without support form this group!

i have emailed the consulate a few times. They do not reply

My fiance already has a visa interview appointment on Dec 19. On dec 10, while migrating information to the new UStraveldocs portal, I accidently closed and restarted a new visa application. Will my fiance be able to attend the visa interview on Dec 19? I have reached out to all of the "support" phone numbers for UStraveldocs and they simply do not know the answer. They directed me to fill out a webform to ask the embassy if the interview can still be done on Dec 19 but I have not received a reply. We have waited 5 years for this, and now the thought of further delays is sickening. Any opinions or preferably past experiences similar to my issue from this knowledable gropu would be much appreciated.

I have the same problem with my K1 visa “no available appointment” at Guangzhou consulate for the last 25 days. Anyone been able to get an appointment recently?

same boat

I am reading mixed info. Do the K1 and K2 need separate I-134 froms?

In Part 2, Shouldn the k2 child be listed as "beneficiary" ?

Thank you for the reply. How do I send an iquiry to the Guangzhou embassy?

Hello, Did you ever find an answer to this question?

Great news! Our case also got sent to the embassy last tuesday or wednesday. Unfortunately I can not find it with the DHL hack

Our case made it to NVC for a day and is now marked in transit to te embassy!

This is what i recieved, at end of june will be 60 days. I have been working with my congressmen for about 9 months now, they are useless, they assigned me someone who has no clue about visas. This person has a liason at uscis but they never provided anything usefull. I hope you get better results with your senators office.. To Whom it Concerns: Thank you for your inquiry. The National Visa Center (NVC) has not yet received your petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Although the Form I-797 approval notice mentions a delay of up to 30 days for cases to be delivered to NVC from USCIS, current shipping times may be longer. If you have not received a communication from NVC about this case within 60 days from the I-797 approval notice, please contact us again. Once NVC receives this petition from USCIS and enters it into our system, all case parties will receive a notice that they can begin processing if a visa number is immediately available. Regards, Ellen | Inquiry Management

The letter they sent you Looks like a copy paste from covid days

Thanks, I hope NVC research helps you move along!

When you received a second NOA2, did you also get a paper letter in the mail?

Thanks for explaining your experience in more detail. I called USCIS and was able to speak to a human. The person I spoke with could see 2 approvals and said it was a system error and that it is likely that the first NOA2 is the valid one. They also said that they have never seen 2 approval dates. I asked for an expedite and he said there is nothing to expedite your case has been approved or atleast we think it has based on receiving 2 NOA2. Tier 1 help really doesnt know anything. Our case has not even been sent to NVC according to public inquiries with NVC, I get the 60 day robot email. Have you tried emailing nvcresearch@state.gov ? I was told to email them after 60 days of my case not being sent to NVC. The instructions were to to put only the case number in the subject, and petioners and beneficiaries name and date of birth in the body of the email and a copy of our NOA2. I have 7 more days to wait to do this. Our cases are held up at differnt stages in the process but perhaps its worth a try for you to email NVCresearch. I know how you feel watching cases fly by your procesing time. It took us 17 months to get a NOA2 but we did have an RFE. Recently, I have seen cases go from NOA1 to sent to Embassy in 6 months. With that said I believe some case end up with incompetent employees that are slow. Or employees that have more important tasks to do. The reasons are endless.

we recieved our NOA2 on April 29th. After waiting 50 days foor ma NVC case number , our petion was approved again on june 18. Now our timeline on USCIS has erased the April 29th approval date and replaced t with june 18. Does anyone know why this happens or the meaning behind it?

Their are others that have the case sent to their respective embassy in 3 weeks from Noa2 date.

I also track other time lines . How do you explain these lucky people?
