    We're finally finished. After pestering my congressmen we suddenly had our case approved and card delivered within 2 weeks. Each step of the way we were experiencing long wait times and as soon as I pinged my congressmen, we would suddenly get progress. Green card was approved we had a RFE in June/July and then nothing until now, no interview, no additional medical. Good luck!

    Interesting, our RFE was received early July also and still waiting. Whats the status of the rest of the December filers? Are most of you still waiting or approved at this point?

    We've just received a letter with a notice of action that my Wife's EAD and AP were approved. There still is no update on the case tracker at all. The interesting part is that I was in contact with our congressman last month and he submitted a request for expedite. It was a really weak case and didnt expect anything at all, I just hoped the nudge would get things moving. They responded on the 31st of May with a message saying that the expedite request was received and it can take 2 weeks to approve or deny the request. The NOA is dated May 31st, so it's pretty clear that the "nudge" from my local office worked, we havent even received a response to the expedite request yet.

    Same here, biometrics 49 days ago. Changed immediately to actively being reviewed after the appt. I don’t think they know what actively means.

    We mailed our packet via Fedex last Thursday the 15th, it was delivered on the 16th. We received texts today confirming acceptance of all 3 forms.

    You can file I-765 while on K1 visa but its only good for the duration of your K1 which is pointless because it takes longer than 90 days to process.

    I dont know what you've done here, the I-134 is a document that is printed and brought with you to the interview, I'm not sure how you have a confirmation of submission.

    Fiancé had he interview this morning and we were approved. She said it went super easy, the person conducting the interview was actually in a hurry so it seemed expedited, few generic questions, asked about an ESTA that had been canceled last year when we were traveling from Mexico to US, but other than that smooth sailing. She was calling me with the news less than 30 minutes from the start time of her appt.

    I was confusing the DS-160 and the application. Anyhow, you cant pay the fee yet, and you cant pay the fee there. That happens in a different portal, they'll send you a link after the medical.
  19. Mari_Justin
    We got an invoice number, but K1 doesnt use it. The paying of the fees is where things got confusing for us. After the medical she called the hotline to try and make an appt, the hotline person created an account online for her to login and then pay the fee and complete the ds160. They wont let you do any of that until they receive your case and probably until after medical.

    Congratulations, We reached out to VisaTallinn@state.gov and said our packet is on the way and asked if we can schedule a medical.

    Could you please help the community avoid and future mistakes and let us know what exactly was wrong/missing? Also please complete your timeline,

    they didnt respond to my request but to hers, assuming because her email is on the application. Anyhow, she wrote them last Thursday said we're ready for appt, they responded Monday saying that her appointment is Oct 12. So that went really fast. We never received any of the instruction packets that have been mentioned before, but I've spent enough time on here that we knew what to do at each step. We went ahead and booked flights for the week after her interview, should be enough time to complete the addition of the visa to her passport. 🤞

    She provided the original document because she had it apostilled, not sure if it was required or not but did it anyhow. Id just find a translator and they'll give you the instructions. she found them here https://www.just.ee/en/legal-services/sworn-translators Also, it seems we have to make the appointment directly with the embassy rather than over the automated system. We confirmed with a friend that did it a few years ago that she emailed and said she's ready and they sent her back an interview date. I think we kind of messed up their normal process because we were reaching and pushing them since before they even received the case, lol. So we have an email out to them since yesterday asking for appointment, I assume we'll hear monday.

    I'm not sure if this is any help to you: https://jp.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/ceac-status-check-iv-k/ I would think it just means they've received your case and its in queue for processing to generate the case number, and then subsequently sent to embassy.
