Yes I am the beneficiary. We looked through our petition and didn't check off any boxes that indicate I was married before. We did send a letter of intent to marry in the original petition but will resend that again. Thanks! 

Perhaps from the background check something came up of a previous marriage? Your country should be able to give you (from your local embassy) a document that proves you are single. I had to provide this in Spain (got it at US Embassy) and my fiance also had to provide it to the Spanish government (local Romanian embassy in Spain provided it to him). They may have a name of something like Single Status Affidavit.

Hi all, I've been unable to find this anywhere but I am wondering a few things:

1. Does the birth certificate have to be apostilled?

2. My fiance is from Romania but has lived in Spain since the age of 16. I am assuming he will need to show a background check from both countries. My question is does anyone know the specific name of the background check he needs to request? I ask because he had to present a Romanian background check here in Spain and he had gotten one type but was denied and had to request a different type which was then approved. I'm unsure if there are two different types of background checks in the country or how that works but any insight would be great!! 

3. Can these documents be requested in advance? We are about 5 months in on our process and the last time he asked for the birth certificate and background check + apostille it took about 3 months to arrive... so figured maybe we should go ahead and request them?

Bringing this thread up a bit as it took me a bit to find it!! 

NOA1 on 10/8/2020

Shows case received 9/30/2020 so I think I'm a September case?

Also I'm shown that case has been transferred to California.

Super excited to be here!!!!!!!!!! Hoping embassies start doing k1 interviews soon, here in Spain they're still not doing them since 3/2020 😕 As long as they start before we receive NOA2!!!!!! Fingers crossed !!! Woohoo!

Wanted to bring this forum up... We're applying from Madrid embassy as well... from people's timelines it looks like there have been 0 interviews conducted for k1 since March of 2020????

We received NOA1 Oct 8, 2020... hoping there isn't a huge backlog when interviews (whenever that is going to be :l) won't press things further back!! Any ideas?? Anyone getting interviews scheduled at any embassies in spain??

Looks like they received my paperwork and it shows a date of September 30 but I didn't receive NOA1 until October 5 so I'll consider myself in this subforum boat!! I'm happy to be two months in though I can't complain as I live abroad with my fiance!! I can't imagine you all that are apart!!!! Hoping things go smoothly and rapidly for those apart!
