Don't think we're sure they used a visa service.

Please could you ask him, when he sent the paperwork and the money order, what address did he send it to? This is to help us understand more about how he submitted the petition.

He sent to this address...

USCIS

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

He brought our paperwork to legal before sent it to USCIS. Because at that time, the place where to file was changed. So he sent our paperwork to USCIS after legal checked everything and address to file also.

With our case, and from others experience, I have always thought that when they cash your check you will have you an EAC (Case Number) on the back of the check. If you did pay by check, look at the stamp on the back to see if it does have a case number. If so, then use this case number to follow up with the USCIS. This would indeed establish you have a case open somewhere.

He paid by money order so he couldn't know whats the number is...

He paid by Money orde. So he doesnt know the number is...

Not to be funny I don't think he can look on the back of a money order. You don't get that back! Did he ever get an original I797 receipt? Usually get that within 2 weeks of filing your I-129.

He never got anything from USCIS. He sent our I-129f and just waited till now...

Did he send the money to the visa service or USCIS? Sounds like the company stole his money...if USCIS has never heard of you guys.

He called USCIS customer service center which number is in homepage. What is visa service???

I am sure that by working on the problem in the right manner you will find the answers you seek. In my own case my husband met with USCIS ( Info Pass ) 3 times. During those talks they said they had made some mistakes & would do what they needed to do to correct them. Based on that I dont think you have lost your money. You should not need to pay the fees again because the petition wasnt denied. The NOA 1 is simply a reciept for the money. The NOA 2 would be the acknowledgement of approval. After approval the case would be sent to NVC & on to the embassy.

I would also say that the JAG officer may not be informed about immigration law & probably doesnt know much about these things. The USC needs to be in direct contact with USCIS. Telling the USC all is lost & that he needs to file again is proof of the ignorance. The fact that the NOA 1 may be lost doesnt mean that the case is lost. The NOA 2 may be in the mail right now.

The USC needs to ensure the address on file is correct with USCIS & the US Post office. Probably good to check with the base postal system as well.

I guess I had to tell you this...USCIS don't know our case number at all. and somepeople who answered my fiance's call just didn't look for our case. They were just saying "oh don't worry your case is already in process." and afterwards, "oh you have to pay more $20 and everything will be in process.." but he was really sure he paid all. So when he talked to the guy which is higer level a little bit, that guy was sure he doesn't see our case at all. but cashed already. so he told him he has to find who did this to us. All we hope is USCIS will be faithful to us at all. I know operator never care about us waiting for visa. All we found out for now is those operator was never looked for our case number.

I hope we will get through this soon.

Dont bother with the phone information. We all know they are seldom right.

The USC should make an INFO PASS appointment to go see USCIS in person. He can ask for the latest info & ask them directly what could be done at this point. He might find that the actual situation is far different than you think. You both may want to decide based on that info what you want to do. If the documents were in fact lost by USCIS you may be able to get credit for the money spent & apply it to the future petition.

He should find out about the DCF process at that meeting as well. The Navy in Japan will be able to provide info about how he can proceed because they will have direct experiance with these matters. He can begin with his warrant officer to find the right department to assist him.

The USC should be investigating this situation himself.

Oh okay. I just told him what you told me here now.

He said he talked to legal about it. I hope we will figure out everything whats going on... Thank you for advice. I learned I shouldn't believe what USCIS tell us on the phone.

Sounds like maybe you are using a visa service? I have never heard of USCIS offering to refund a fee, at best they would instruct him to refile the paperwork with a letter stating why there is no fee attached and a copy of the canceled check from the first filing. I am also curious how USCIS was able to look up the case without a case number.

What is Visa service?? Yeah I was wondering how USCIS could look up our case without that number... So he put in a complaint and they told him that give them 30days to figure out everything. We have heard same thing for 5months a few times. But never changed. My fiance also asked USCIS about how they could see what's going on our paperwork stuff without case number. and he told them their name who answered his call.

Even if we will re-file our paperwork again this month, we have to restart from first right? that means we have to wait 5more months? Even if we won't have time to do for GC at all if we won't get our K-1 visa till June.

If they cashed the check then you don't get the money back.

Lost after what crash?

When my husband called the military hotline they told him they have no access to the petition information, just information to help military members with the process and with requests for expedite.

Yeah I thought they never pay him back. But they still telling him that they will...He paid $455 by money order. I don't know what is the truth...because they were keep lying to him for 5months. If we knew our paperwork was missing when we called firt time, we had a time to re-file...

Hello. Me and my fiance were waiting for NOA1 for 5months. And we called USCIS about 5times about it. All of them said they sent our NOA1 and our paperwork is in process...They said they will send him NOA1 again. and let him paid $20. but never came. so he talked to some higher level person. He told my fiance to give him time for a few days and he will find out where it is. BUT we found out when we called to military line (because he is in NAVY). Our paperwork was lost after cashed.... He said we have to re-file again. and it will start from first. He said they will pay him back which he paid already. But my fiance is getting order to Japan in 7months. So we decided to wait to get married till he will be in Japan. We believe it is better decision for us for now.

This is my question...How can we cancel our I-129F? Because they told us they don't even have our case number at all... And how can we get money back from them plus $20?

Nobody knows where our paperwork is at...so how should I??

If somebody know something. please tell me

Momo

He called to USCIS today. And he talked to the person for an hour.　They said they cant find our case number.　They can see our paperwork is working but　he has to send $20 more... He already checked his money order and it was taken by them $455 end of September. So he told them he paid all but they said it wasnt enough...it might computer problem they said. So he is gonna call them back on friday. We are confused about it. But should he send $20 more even if he paid enough??

Give me some advice please. Thank you.

Please use only English in the non-regional forums. We try to help, wherever someone is from, but can't if we can't read your language! It also stops someone else who might have the same question/problem from understanding.

Thank you

To answer your question, it seems that a lot of K-1 filers are experiencing much slower processing times than earlier in the year. The quoted processing times is currently 5 months, so you are pretty much tied to waiting for the 5 month mark to arrive before you can request a status update.

I'm sorry, I know how frustrating it is

I am sorry for use another language....I said what can we know if he will call post office?　So we have to wait for 5months even NOA is not received yet?? :crying:

Post office ni tell suruto nani ga wakaru nodesuka?

I hope we will get through soon (:

He meant have the USC (US Citizen, your fiance) call the post office.

And gambatte kudasai! I hope we reach our goals soon!

He paid by money order. He called his bank and he found out they took money already.

USCIS called postoffice???

Did you pay by cheque? Has the check cleared your account?

If you did pay by cheque the case number should be on the back of the cheque

Also, have the USC call the post office to inquire about delivery to his address

Good luck

Actually he told them that he wanna know our case number when he called. But they just said they will send a letter...I guess I need to ask my fiance to call again. and let them tell him about our case number THIS　TIME.

　So you took 6months to get through all paperworks! I hope we will pass as soon as possible...

Everybody will answer his call on USCIS can tell my fiance our case number ,right? Because the lady said she can't and she has to ask somebody.....It makes me confused...hmmm I wish I could call them instead of him....

i sent my packege on June 25 and I just finished my case Process with visa approved just yesterday by embassy, I never received my NOA1 in the mail, my fiance call uscis and asked then for the case Number , they gave him the case number, that how I register at the USCIS website to see the progress of my case daily...

My case was approved by uscis, I received a message by email, but they never sent me the original copy of the NOA 2 by mail, all I received was a letter from NVC telling me that my case was approved and sent to the embassy of my country to be processed .. . so just call uscis and request for you case number they will give to you.

I hope somebody will help me...

My fiance sent I-129F around 10th, September and we are not getting anything yet....He called USCIS a few times. First time the lady said she can't tell him about what is going on. Second time the guy said that they sent our NOA1 end of September so our paperworks is in work now. and he said he will send my fiance NOA1 again. we waited for 1 month and never reached. Third times, another lady said that our paperworks is going all right she thinks. And she thinks nothing wrong with our paperworks. But will send my fiance NOA1 again. And she made sure his address and she told him if something bad happen ,she will call him. ( I don't think so though...)

and now we already waited for almost 3weeks since he called last time. Why our NOA1 never come yet?? And we cant touch on website without our case number. And they are just telling him our paperwork is allright. How can we get our NOA1 and know our case number?? We just have to wait and wait and wait like a forever???

I hope somebody help me....
