Hello, I'm filling the I-134 form for my fiancée's interview.
I was reading the instructions on form I-134 and has a part that says:
"Type or print your name and alien registration number (if any) at the top of each sheet. sign and date each sheet."
And I didn't understand that.
The form has 13 pages, do I have to put the date, the A number of my fiancee and also my signature in a corner of each single sheet?
Please clarify me!
Thanks for your answers!

Wow, I'm so sorry you've been going through the same thing for so long! Last week we received NOA2 in physical mail, for the second time...
I gave up on understanding what happened to the April 2021 K1 cases. It seems we were the group that suffered the most from delays, long background checks, and huge dates. I'll try to clarify how I acted in my case, and maybe you'll find some light to solve yours:
I sent inquiries to USCIS. I called them, (tier 2) and requested assistance. The first few times I had to fight with them to show the seriousness of the situation, saying that they were hurting us in time and money, and emotionally. I don't know if they considered anything, but I made sure I was serious about my case and my relationship.
I also contacted the NVC through inquiries and they replied that they never had my case, that the USCIS took it back and they didn't tell me why. Other sources I consulted: Two lawyer friends, said that the NVC sending the case back to the USCIS would be either, USCIS's mistake (wrong name or any detail on the case and they had to fix it) or that something went wrong in the background check of the petitioner. If he has a criminal life, that is, some missing paper or something you missed and it was necessary.
Another thing we did, we contacted a congressman and they were super helpful. They sent an inquiry from the office to USCIS and USCIS responded to them the same day my case was approved.
I don't know if it was something we did that caused to re-evaluate our case and re-approve, or if it was just pure luck.
That's what we did. We've never had any RFEs, we don't have a criminal life (I don't even drive) and I've never done anything wrong. I'm young, and so is my fiance. No other marriages and no children.

Hello, my dear fellas. I start writing this with a little relieved heart.
You know I've been wanting answers about what happened to me, and God sent me some today.
I had sent an Inquiry to the NVC, to the US Embassy in Brazil, and to USCIS itself. We contacted our congressman (state of Alabama) and also forwarded our case to two experienced attorneys.
On November 3rd USCIS updated my account saying that the Department of State had sent my case back to USCIS for them to "review".
I am happy to say that they reviewed the case today, Thursday, November 10th, and we were RE-APPROVED. I am really happy. The case was sent back to the NVC and the Rio de Janeiro embassy had never seen my case before.
This serves as hope for those who have had the case sent back to USCIs for possible review, keep your hopes up. The case was re-approved, yes it is possible (unlike USCIS saying my case was sent to the embassy and they denied it. This was a lie and the officer who sent this inquiry should review the methods of how USCIS deals with people's lives.)
I was desperate on day 3, day 4, and day 5... And I made this post to share my problem. I thank all of you, each one, who answered me here trying to solve this puzzle with me. I appreciate every answer.
A new letter will be sent to my fiancé and I'm so glad he wasn't turned down because of his criminal background! We will now move on with our case being sent to the NVC, and my conclusion from this is that USCIS makes mistakes, and sometimes it's worth your while to fight for what you want.
My fiance and I are both scientists, we have no criminal cases, and a clean record for over ten years, we are eligible to marry and we have never been married before or had children from other marriages. I have 28 years and he's 32 years old.
Nothing that would hurt or delay our case, but it happened.
If it happens to you, please. Let them know. Let the USCIS know, the NVC, your embassy, and your state political representatives. We pay taxes for this.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND AMERICA TOO! :)))

It would help if you shared what they said exactly, covering up important info of course.
"The status of this service request is:
You or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your case to determine the status of your case. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.
The petition with receipt number WAC-21-***-***** was approved and was forwarded abroad to the United States Embassy/ Consulate for K-1 visa processing. Subsequently, the K-1 visa was not issued and the I-129F petition has been returned to the USCIS. Since the I-129F petition has been returned to the USCIS, all action on this petition is concluded and the petition will not be revalidated.
For I-129F Consular return cases where the K-1 visa was not issued, the USCIS may not be issuing any further notification about the case to the petitioner. In this instance, the petitioner may choose to file a new Form I-129F, Petition for an Non-Citizen Fiancé(e), with fee.
We hope this information is helpful to you."
What you all think?
Thanks for your interest in. -

You mentioned this in your first post too; NVC does not send welcome letters to K1 applicants, it’s been said in the Guides here as well as posts…. I lost count of how many times I’ve said this. They only send an email when the case leaves NVC and is en route to the consulate. To find your case number before that happens, you need to contact the NVC and ask for the case number.
This is exactly what I did.
Gonna tell you how:
NOA 2: September 22, 2022
The noa2 instructions on the letter said:
Please allow a minimum of 30 before sending the NVC an inquiry.
I did.
On October 23, 2022, I sent NVC a request for our receipt number.
On November 3, (5 days ago) I received an e-mail, the department of state has sent my case back to USCIS
Yesterday I send an Inquiry about our case to USCIS, which they responded in less than 24 hours (really strange), saying that the case was returned by the embassy (RIO CONSULATE) and they can't reapproved the petition.?????
Like??? This is madness, right?

WAC is california office for the USCIS part of this process
that office sends it to NVC where it is assigned embassy numbers
when it goes back to USCIS they again will refer to it as WACxxxxx
What's your bet?
You would say that they send the case to the Embassy in Rio, or that they never even received the case?
Something happened between USCIS > NVC.
I always tracked the case. I never received any RDJ (NVC receipt number). They never send any letter, anything.

how do we know that NVC did not send petition to the embassy because the WAC xxxxxx number is for the USCIS office here and there is no embassy # listed on any of these inquiries RDJ2022xxxxxxx would be your case # as assigned by NVC to transfer to Rio
YOU HAD A REALLY GOOD VIEW!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The email said that the Consulate returned the petition to USCIS. The USC should contact the Consulate and attempt to find out if this is true.
Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it truly.
I'm actually in Rio right now and tomorrow I'm going to the embassy and see if this is true. Because it is impossible that they approved our case, did not notify any of us of the RDJ number for the scheduled interview. I checked my email several times in a crazy frenesi. I'm about to lose my mind and healthy over this process.
It is impossible that in 30 days period they sent the k1 to the embassy already. I sent an email to the embassy, but as with everything in this process, they gonna take probably a sweet ### time to answer me. But tomorrow I'll go over there in person and gather any information.
We are considering hiring a lawyer to help us... -

Does the petitioner or beneficiary have any criminal history?
My fiancé (an American male) had a misdemeanor over 10 years ago. We bought a TV with a stranger's credit card. He was a teenager... Already resolved in court, we send all the documents properly, he has a great job in walmart and he is financially capable to support 4 people. We are only two. And me, i never had any problem with the law and i don't even have an drives license. I'm 28 years old. Zero problems with the law. -

To begin with. I am so sorry you are going through this pain and disappointment.
I noticed it took 17months for your petition to be approved, that’s very unusual, did you get an RFE while the case was with USCIS? If you did, what was the RFE about?
Also, for NVC to return your petition, I think there was an error on the part of USCIS in approving the petition and NVC had to return it. If you guys never had an interview at the u.s consulate then I can only imagine your confusion as to why it was sent back.
You can contact nvc through their portal since calls are no longer allowed; but you won’t get a response for months. I’d also recommend the USCIS partner to contact his/her senator for help ASAP because you need to know what went wrong before filing another k1 or cr1 petition - so that you don’t repeat the same mistake.
Fist off all, thank you for your answer. I'm writing you with my soul, because my body died this afternoon after i received this e-mail.
And... No! We had never been received any RFE, we sent over 5 inquiries asking USCIS why our case was so hard to get it approved. They always said that was because background checking was pending... When finally approved, this nightmare happened. I'm totally destroyed.
ME (beneficiary) i never did any interview as I never received anything from the NVC, no number so I could schedule the interview. The interview can only be scheduled when we receive the case number, and we never did. In our letter (NOA2) they say that we have to wait at least 30 days before emailing the NVC requesting our number. We did so, but USCIS took the case back, and the NVC never responded to us until today. -
Application date: April 1, 2021
Our case was approved on September 22, 2022. NOA2.
On November 3, 2022, USCIS updated my account, (after I had approved our k1) with the following text:
Department Of State Sent Case To USCIS For Review
On November 3, 2022, the Department of State sent us your case, Receipt Number _________________, for review. We are reviewing it and will notify you by mail when we are done.
On October 23, 2022, Amanda sent an inquiry to the National Visa Center and it was never responded to. We never received our RDJ (Rio de Janeiro Embassy) and now the USCIS says so, in response to an inquiry sent to them on November 8, 2022
The petition with receipt number WAC______________ was approved and was forwarded abroad to the United States Embassy/Consulate for K-1 visa processing. Subsequently, the K-1 visa was not issued and the I-129F petition has been returned to the USCIS. Since the I-129F petition has been returned to the USCIS, all action on this petition is concluded and the petition will not be revalidated.
It's been ONLY a month since we've been approved and we've never received anything for the next step, any welcome letter or anything like that. It has not even been more than 40 days since we were approved. NVC simply sent the case back without notifying us and I believe this is a massive mistake on their part. Do we need a lawyer?
Our heart is broken. We waited over 17 months for NOA2 and when NOA2 arrives, after a month, USCIS says they have our case again, that they are reviewing the case, and now they are saying that the case is not going to be revalidated and that we missed the chance to complete K1. This is impossible. We've been tracking the case all along, and we're still not past the expiration date on our noa2. Our noa2 will expire in January 2023! Please, someone, give us a light on how to act on this case! Do we need a lawyer?
USCIS is making a mistake!
PLEASE HELP ME! WE ARE TOGETHER FOR OVER 5 YEARS! :(((
