    As long as they satisfy the requirements at the session, they will receive their certificates digitally the same day via email. CFO advises not to book flights until they have the certificate but I booked Jaycel's flight the same day I booked her CFO (scheduled to depart 2 days later) and fortunately they did not give her any trouble. It's all about how much risk tolerance you have... do you have the funds to re-book all the flights if necessary

    At Jaycel's PoE in Los Angeles, all they asked her for was the Passport w/ visa and the yellow packet. They asked her what was the address she was staying at in the US and how much money she brought into the country. 5-7 minutes and she was stamped and good to go.

    No one has an opinion eh? Guess we’ll wing it on that one.

    It's only been 4 days since they received it.... No reason to panic. Lots of stories around lately where it has been taking weeks to receive notification
  5. Edward and Jaycel
    Ok you should go to that website and register and see what it tells you there. That's the website that is posted on the embassy's website

    Does your case status in CEAC say "Ready"? Have you registered on the visa website for the Jamaican Embassy? I would assume there are instructions there once you register. https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/iv

    You have to wait for the Embassy's process... If your approval notice expires before the interview, do not panic. The Consular Officer conducting the interview can and will automatically extend the validity of the NOA2 (they do this in 4 month increments). You do not need to do anything to make this happen. I do strongly recommend bringing updated letters of intent to marry from petitioner and beneficiary to the interview. This will cover any questions they have for your intent to marry changing if there are extended delays between petition approval and embassy interview. Good luck and I hope they contact you soon!

    @badloss2 I would try to contact the Embassy Immigrant Visa Unit here https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-inquiry-form/

    Thank you for sharing @K1visaHopeful 🙂

    Has anyone noticed any difference in the time it takes for an application to be officially "received" between the USPS PO Box addresses and the courier addresses at the lockboxes? We are getting ready to send in our AOS package to the Phoenix lockbox and are wondering if it will make a difference wether we send it to the PO Box via USPS Priority Express or to the physical address via Fed-Ex. Anyone have experience or even an opinion? Any responses would be greatly appreciated!

    Nairobi is a high fraud risk embassy.... (Possible extended AP) If you booked your tickets before the visa is actually in-hand, you may have to re-book. I hope it's quick for you so this does not happen.
  12. Edward and Jaycel
    Thank you so much for this! 🎉

    Congrats @JaneStaark !! We are about to file our AOS packet and I was wondering if you would mind sharing what your RFE was for? Trying to avoid any issues and would like to learn from your experience if possible 🙂
  14. Edward and Jaycel
    That probably means someone is working on it in the visa section. As long as everything is ok with the paperwork she sent back in, it should go to “Approved” and then “Issued”. Keep us posted!
  15. Edward and Jaycel
    I think everyone should do it.... It will remove that "Not valid for employment without DHS Authorization" message that they put on the one you get while still on your K-1 visa

    NVC took about 5 weeks after USCIS sent our case there to send the K1-FTP letter to us. I understand you’re a I-130 filer, however NVC seems to work cases in the order they are received regardless. As of last Monday it appears they are working cases received on 10/16/2024 https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html
  17. Edward and Jaycel
    That was fast! Glad they officially received it for you guys so quickly! 😁

    We are about to file my wife's AOS from a K-1 visa and as you can imagine, there is mot a ton of marital evidence. We are sending everything that we do have at this point because it can only help with the chances of us getting approval without having to attend an interview. Good luck to you! Looks like we will both be November filers 🙂

    I get that we need to put the receipt number from the I-129F as the answer for question 3 but do we put the "Received Date" on the NOA1 for the I-129F in for question 4 as the "Priority Date"? I have seen answers on VJ here saying yes and others saying to put "N/A" so I am looking to see if there is any consensus on this? Appreciate any advice!

    From the USCIS Website:
  21. Edward and Jaycel
    Here are screen shots of the 2 pages I have for our I-485 Cover Letter and 1 page each for the I-765 & & I-864 (I made generic versions with all the identifying info taken out)
  22. Edward and Jaycel
    I second this.... please do a little research and see if you can do it yourself. There are plenty of guides here on VJ that can help and the community here is always willing to answer things you are unsure of. Don't get yourself tied into any of these services. In the posts I've seen here and other forums, they do nothing but cause headaches. I'm no rocket scientist and I was able to figure it out and that was before I knew about this site.

    Awesome! Glad to hear it and keep us posted! The two things that Jaycel likes to share about the CFO is: 1. Don't watch YouTube videos about "Horror Stories" regarding the CFO. They got themselves sorted out last summer (2023) and as long and your fiancee knows the details about your relationship it will be fine. She said hers was a breeze and because all of the proof of relationship she brought, she only had to spend like 10 minutes in the 1 on 1 with the counselor. 2. Bring proof of your relationship because they WILL look through it. Jaycel brought ~140 pages and the counselor looked through all of it! 😆
  24. Edward and Jaycel
    It can't hurt to start organizing all of the "evidence" from this trip (reservations, boarding passes, hotel receipts, pictures, etc.) that show that you two were together in person. It will help when you are ready to file the I-129F. It will be nice to have everything together already instead of trying to hunt it down at that time.
  25. Edward and Jaycel
    congrats! I can confirm what @top_secret reported… Jaycel said CFO was a breeze. Just bring lots of proof of relationship. Unlike the embassy, they WILL go through it all. Happy times my friend! You are almost there 😁
