    oh wait I just saw your timeline. You haven't been approved yet? You need to wait to be approved by USCIS (NOA2) before it goes to NVC. You'll likely be approved or get RFE around mid-late summer I suggest reading a guide of what to expect.

    NOA2 to Transit to embassy is 3-5 weeks, sorry. Occasionally it takes longer for no reason we know of. Transit is usually every two weeks, think it was this week so petitioner should look out for an email in two weeks. Main shipping days are every second Tues/Wed

    what the form/instructions say should be followed over whatever a guide says. It clearly states if they are **currently** in the US. You clearly know she is not, the question is not 'has she ever visited?'. Fill in based on instructions on the form or from supplementary info and if you have questions, look at a guide. Do NOT follow a guide over what the instructions are clearly asking of you. Is she in US currently is a simple Yes/No question, there's no trick you're missing.

    you were misled, you can 100% get a new esta while waiting for K1, I did no problem. I think only visa question they ask is if you've ever been denied (or maybe applied) for immigrant visa but K1 is nonimmigrant. As others have said you are overthinking. 32% of August is still pending. They *always* move onto new months before finishing the prior. Different case workers, diff speeds of security checks etc. If you end up being one of the last 10ish % then petitioner can try reaching out to their senators to contact USCIS on their behalf but you are 10000% still in normal processing.

    NVC is 3-5 weeks on ave right now

    depends on which visa, they have all the information on their website. They should have also contacted you with a lsit

    Is something up with interview date data for k1? I see you have NOA2 wait has decr by almost 50% but interview is still 4-5months??? It says Oct NOA1 filers are interviewing on ave now, I'm in Oct filer group and majority I know have already been in US for months. Are people just not entering data after NOA2 or is it dominated by slow embassys (canada and aus etc)?

    as long as your interview is scheduled 2weeks+ from ready date just say you received letter. London letter famously goes missing/ takes weeks to show up

    shouldn't be, not uncommon

    yup, i believe phillipines is maybe 1-2 months for interview so should have VOH in under a yr as long as nothing hits a snag As to what to do, I would find groups for Philippine beneficeries or watch guides on YT. Phillipines account for like 50% of k1 applicants so should be a lot out there

    they just took my word for it that i had it as a kid
  12. AndiB
    just to be clear, this is USCIS stage and is same for all beneficeries. After this is NVC (one month) then embassy which varies greatly from weeks to months.

    I was a student as well (although beneficiary). I would put down student or NA. As another user said, they won't look at job/income yet. It's not a requirement at uscis stage. Job history is actually to run background checks on both of you, not to assess your worth.

    try emma chatbot. Your NOA1 is bouncing back to post office each time. Try talking to post office on why you may not be recieving mail too
  15. AndiB
    country of beneficiary does not affect speed of approval, only affects steps from NVC on. You can click on a users timeline to see how long it took, seems took them a year but I know many who now get it in 9months
  16. AndiB
    South Africa is honestly the same with a lot of documents but there are third part services that can get documents within weeks if not days for a fee (I assume bribery/ buddies at work). It may be worth seeing if a similar (reliable) service exists in Cuba? The fact the recommend trying to get someone to request locally for you does imply it will be faster with a direct service.

    Did they mark on your vaccination sheet that req was waived for covid or complete? glad was smooth. Polio is a new-ish req. UK is a hotspot so required to have a booster within last 2yrs. I think tetnus is req if you haven't had one in last 10
  18. AndiB
    I believe one dose is acceptable for k1, I'm not even sure if one is required now honestly. As you say, will be for AOS. Unfortunately if it is available in thailand, they won't give a waiver. Does the clinic you'll do your medical at provide vaccines? If there's a way to contact the clinic, it's worth asking if there are any vaccine req for K visa.
  19. AndiB
    did your status update on uscis? You usually go into transit 3-5 weeks after NOA2 so petitioner should have had it in mail by now. I would contact uscis to get a replacement if not because you'll need it for aos
  20. AndiB
    I did say in my message if unavailable it will be waived. I haven't kept up to date on whether private clinics or medical plan to start stocking the vaccine. I assume not but I also don't know 100% I got mine in US 6months before my medical and also had medical couple days before rule change so never had to find out
  21. AndiB
    official guidelines are you need a booster within last 12months. It went into affect end Nov I think. If a clinic isn't up to date on guidance, that doesn't make it fact. It's true that it will be waived if unavailable though (as it is in uk)
  22. AndiB
    They usually only add a month at a time, you're prob in their weird slump before they put the next month up. I don't follow closely but I feel like they usually put more about around nvc transit windows, so next week if not this one. They should put at least all of feb up if not a few march
  23. AndiB
    monday was a holiday, is it issued now? London isn't usually that slow and I'd expect you were issued Tues?

    To clarify he doesn't have to live with you for the spousal, many don't. He's actually required to have US domicile and salary to do a spousal with you. I personally didn't go for that due to wait time + living apart from my husband but each to their own
  25. AndiB
    you can apply for both, I did. You'll almost guaranteed hear back fro k1 before DV but you can have both going same time. I imagine if you by chance win DV, you can just decline K1 will likely take 8-10months for you unless you're one of the small % who end up with a few month slower timeline. You can do a spousal to US instead which I believe takes 1-2yrs on ave. It's called a CR1
