How long did it take for you to get the NOA1? We filed our I485 a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

One month straight

No. I sit back and wait to get physical EAD or green card in hand before you start work. Whatever gave you an idea a NOA1 is enough to start working? 

How long does it take for them to send the physical EAD?

Hello. 

Today we received the receipts for my I765 and I485. Can I use these to work legally in the USA? What am I supposed to do with my I765 now?

Thanks 

Hello all, my wife arrived to the USA in Jan as my fiancee and we got married in 2 weeks after that. On April 6th we sent all the docs to USCIS and on the 8th I saw that FedEx has delivered it to the Chicago office.  I was wondering how long it takes them to send you a notification letter?

Thanks 

Hi.

My fiancée arrived recently and we are planing to get married and have the adjustment of status.

While we are waiting for the whole process to be done, she can stay here with me, correct?

Hello all.

my fiancee is supposed to arrive to LAX pretty soon and we wanted to double check if we have all the necessary docs.

we have the:

passport with  visa

the yellow package

the CD of her chest x ray

That’s it right? No more fees or docs correct?

Today my fiancee received her visa from the embassy, but in the passport, in the section of given name, they wrote her first name, but added her father's name to her first name. So it is written, Doe Joe, Smith's son.

The first and last name are correct, but her father's name is written too.

Is this is a problem? Will she be denied entry to the USA?

Thanks

All cases go through some administrative processing after the interview. Some are short.  Some are extended. This could be just a short delay due to the holiday.   Watch for the status to change to "Issued".

Thanks

Hi everyone.

My fiancee passed the interview on the 23rd of Dec and was told that she has passed the interview. She has not received the passport with visa back yet. Today when I checked the status of our case, it said administrative processing. What does it mean? Does it mean the embassy needs more docs?

If you have a K-1 visa, there is a .00001% chance that she will be denied entry to the country. After all, she has been screened by USCIS and the embassy. Be sure she answers all the questions at immigration when she arrives at her POE. Look the BG in the eyes when answering and do it with confidence. Tell her not to volunteer information unless asked. And "I don't know that answer" is an answer. Immigration at the POE is simple. 

Thanks so much!!!

Looking on the Armenian embassy website for this information I found this:

 

If your visa has been approved, you will be informed how and when your passport and visa will be returned to you.  Carefully review the information on the Fiancé(e) Visa Process on travel.state.gov to learn what to do when you receive your visa, entering the United States, and other important information.

 

I had to hunt for this information which I rarely do to answer someone's question.  So, we need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.
 
Thanks 

Thanks for looking for the info! I did how you told me so and the information should be visible now.

One last question, none of us has any diseases, any criminal records, any debts or any problem with the governments. What are the chances that she might be denied entry into the USA? We are so close to each other that we are anxious to make a mistake now.

Don't confuse the process for a CR-1/IR-1 and your K-1. They are different with different processes. Do you have a copy of your P3 letter? There you will find the instructions as to how to receive your visa. Also, you may have been given a sheet of paper at the end of the interview with similar instructions. 

 

This is what stated in the P3 letter that I have. 

•passports with visas will be returned to you by mail. Processing and mailing time will take approximately one week, so please allow enough time before your intended date of departure.

I did double check both the P3 letter and the doc she received at the end of the interview, but there is NO word about the package that she is supposed to bring to the USA. Can it be that now the US embassy is sending everything over the internet?

No you don't create another registration. You use the same one that you created for the payment. 

 

Do not sell your house, car, or property, resign from your job, or make non-refundable flight or other travel arrangements until you have received your immigrant visa and you have checked over the visa to be sure there isn't any spelling errors. If there are any errors, contact the Embassy for further instructions. Keep the "do not open" pouch in the plastic and stowed away in her carryon luggage. Luggage does get lost and without the "do not open" packet it will be a difficult problem for her at immigration once she arrives at her POE.  

Thanks. I got some friends that came to the USA with a CR1 this year and they never received that package. The embassy told them that everything is online, have you heard anything about it? 
 

who is supposed to give her the package? The embassy or where we are picking up the passport?

Hi all, 

My fiance passed her interview ! I am so happy!

Got a question tho, on the paper that they gave her, it says that we need to register into one of their websites to see the status of the application, and it is the same one that I used to make the payment, do I need to register again? Do I need to make another payment just to get her passport with visa?

We applied December of 2019. The paperwork has been sitting in the embassy since Sept 2020

Very nice!  Was this an expedited interview or are you a court plaintiff??

Nope, none of it. 

Hi, 

Our k1 visa has been interviewed in the embassy in Yerevan! It has been a long journey but it's worth it!

Can someone tell me what kind of questions can we expect? 

Thanks a lot

2) When's the first in-person meeting?
3) Was that visit to the US specifically to visit him?
4) Where did the first in-person meeting took place?
5) Where does he live?
6) What's his job?
7) Has he ever been married?
😎 Have I ever been married?
9) Has he been to (my home country)?

Thanks a lot!

Hi.

Our k1 visa has been scheduled! What questions can we expect?

thanks

Hi.

Our documents have been in the US embassy since September. Every time we checked the status it said Ready and last updated date was Sept 12. 
 

The problem is that the last updated date has been changed to Dec 4th and now it says Dec 7th. Does it mean they sent out the interview date? 
 

we called and emailed them but no one talked to us.

thanks

Many consulates do not contact.   Do you have access to the local instructions 

I am sorry I don't know what you are talking about. Where can I find the local instructions?

Hi, our case was received by the US embassy in Armenia 3 weeks ago. In the ceac website it says Ready. How long should we wait for them to send us a letter about the interview and medical exams?

Thanks
