We need your support...Many K1/K3/CR1 visa petitions are being returned to the United States.

More and more this is how Morocco is handling visa petitions, and it does not matter the amount of proof of relationship you provide. This is not only happening in Morocco but in US consulates all over the world...it could happen to you.

We need a central place to review/share extremely important information to help ourselves and others going through this issue. Possibly even prevent this from happening to others in the future.

I will gladly create a legible, credible, and searchable compilation of all immigration guidelines surrounding petition return/revocation, research, etc. if VJ would commit to pinning this issue for us.

Petitions Being Returned to the United States

If you support pinning this issue...please say so by posting in this topic. Without forum support the issue will never get pinned. Thank you.

Please show your support by posting it here...

We should all support topics which may help us and others to communicate and exchange info, experiences,,, etc..

So that we can all avoid delays or potential roadblocks... Making other aware and open exchange is key..

-- I'm a newbie so i dont know what being pinned is.. I suppose it means a higher more prominant exposure on the website.. ?

I truly wish i came across this website before filing...

Althought i'm convinced that i did all the forms asked for and more...

I found online here many suggestions when filing the 129F -- there must have been 20 sugguestions...

Although I sent mine in a 3 ring binder, with each page in clear protector sheet, where pages can easily be removed and the book had tabs for each requirement in the order asked for the application... plus many other things..

I did not do the following....

- I did not have a table of contents - thought about it ..and felt that my tabs/labels were suffientlyly easy ?

- I did not do a cover letter, but i put one on the putside of the 3 ring binder attached within plastic..

- I submitted 24 pics, but did not write our names on the back of each or where it was taken

(i did put our names and id #..etc on the back of passport/visa photos

- I did not include 300+ emails, and phone bills for 100+ conversations......

(i did print them out and it took almost an 4 inches of paper and weighed 5 lbs...)so i did not include it...

>> but i did show us registered together at 2 hotels for 2 weeks with photos of the trip and the hotel

lots...more...etc...

Anyway....I thought of things not suggested by Visa Journey, but did not think to do some things they suggested...

so, yes i believe that people with like goals should exchange info, and thus we can all gain from the info...

Yes, we sent it to Mesquite, Tx... they don't have a physical address...

Saturday we received our NOA1 hardcopy in the mail...

But... when I enter the cas number on the internet... they tell me that it's an application 129 for immigrant worker <grin>

However the hardcopy says Petition for alien fiancee fortunately...

At least something is going on. :-))))

How 'bout yours?

rosa.sputnik

B) or if i'm getting house keeper (worker)..... Just kidding Natalia, (in case you read this honey....)

LOL!!! That's exactly what my fiance said...

However, the NOA1 said that I'm his fiancée...

And my sweetest sweetheart ever came here for a month today and we'll call the USCIS in the next days to figure out if they (pleeeeaaaase!!!) change the

online status...

From: Ron / Tennisbuff,,

Online my 129F says finance(e) application... not alien worker...,, still waiting for my physical NO1..

** My check is stamped from the Vermont processing center, when i mailed it as required to the texas processing center.. Also online it appears to be, over at and being processed at the vermont center. Are texas applications now being done at Vermont? In the forums online it talks about teaxas being mailed and done at california...

Are they now do load balancing...,, since vermont center was the least behind or the fastest?

thanks

I don't know if I'am just so unlucky or what, but I sent my 129F on 7/20 and have a record of them signed for it on 7/23. It will be a full month soon but nothing happend. No check, and of course no NOA1. What if they lost it? I'm really worried since a lot of peple that sent theirs at a later dates already recieved their receipts or at least checks have been cashed.

It is tough wait. I did not expect it to be as hard right from the start.

wait till the end of the week, then call them.... in the mean time call your bank or if you bank online then check to see if check was presented... Mine which took 25 days, the check has not even cleared yet, and i wont get the check back in the mail for 2 weeks.... so i'm waiting for them to photo , the front and the back and link it to my online banking...this wont happen for 1-3 days....,..

i guess what i saying is under normal followup i would not find out about my check being cashed for days or weeks, -- only because i saw the available funds go down by 170, did i know to call my bank which has accessto more up to the minute info... also note the 25 days is from when they actually signed for it, and not from when i mailed...

hang in there...

update....--- Hip - Hip - Horay...!!! They cashed the check after 25 days..

I-129f was rec'd in Mesquite TX on July 26, and today 130pm, on Aug 20th, the check has been first presented

to my bank..... It seems the times may be growing, or perhaps just for late july filers or for those required to file in texas.....

my profile does not have an input field for when they cashed the check.. sorry to be a newbie... ) ,,, but how are others inserting it into their timeline.... thanks.... as it could be weeks before rec'g the no1... yes i know to look on the back of the check for the receipt #,, -- i hoping my bank does not stamp over the receipt #.....

This saying won't help me, but maybe it will help others....

"THE LONGEST JOURNEY BEGINS WITH 1 STEP..!!!"

I keep telling myself this, but i'm not sure it helps much....

OK, back to holding my breath again....... just kidding...

We filed the petiton on 30June to Texas Service Center...

On 18 of July they cashed the check and thats it...

No NOA1,nothing yet...

We think that our package(and packages what been sent in July to TSC) processing in Vermont...

I guess so because one friend of mine called to USCIS and they said that you already could file the packages to the new addresses...

My fiance met with senator and he is willing to help us...

good look your your journey.... and to all those waiting...

sincecere thanks,

I live in florida/usa & sumitted the I-129f overnight express w/signature on 7/25/2007 to the texas mesquite center

-they rec'd it on 7/26

-they signed for it on 7/27 at 7am by M salcedo at 720am (good to know they work that early.?)

As of today 81/16/2007 (slighly over 3 weeks) the check has not been cashed and i'ved rec'd no notice.

Just before sumitting 3 weeks ago and also 1 week after submitting I was told by a live person there that i should receive my first NOA within 15 days of submitting.

Then 1 week ago I called again spoke to another live person whom told me that we very busy now that the price has gone up, and so we giving ourselves upto 90 days to provide you with your first

notice.... Scary thought....

? - has anyone been told this ?

Also i read in the forums and posts that the texas center does not process app's anymore and has not done so for a about 1 year... ( but the they still require centain states to mail it there and then they forware it to california center) ...

-- ? why not have applicants sent directly to california ? - would this be to simple ? since they supposedly have not been processing app's for 1 year..

? has anyone else been waiting 3 or more weeks for 1st notice or for them to cash your check and to which center did you submit to?

thanks for any replies...

I mailed in my I-129f packet on July 28. I have proof from the UPS that someone had signed it off. I was wondering why I still have not receive my NOA1 and why they haven't cash the check. It's been 2 weeks. You would think they would cash the check by now. I emailed CSC.Nonotice@dhs.gov

and they said maybe my packet got lost in the mail and that to cancel my check and to send in another packet. Why would they say that? I asked them to check if my name is in their system. All they said is maybe it got lost in the mail. Do you think that person that responded to my email even checked their system to see if my name is in the system? Maybe they were just to lazy to check that's why they said it got lost in the mail. What do you guys think? I know I should be patient.. But I'm just worried because they haven't cash my check. Anyway have this problems. Please share. Thank you
