What to expect from here?

[RobertH]

Ok I have Kiled the K-1 and have got a reciept number to track with.

 

What can I expect from here on besides long periods of time where my file seems to sit in a pile in the corner of some building...

 

I have been looking at timelines and it seems like it is getting closer to a 12 month wait then a 10 month wait.

 

My silly lawyer seems to think 5-6 months. I dont think he knows the China delay.

 

Why do papers sometimes seem to sit in customs for 2-3 months once they get to China.

 

Also the lawyer did nto seem to think it was a big deal to have her address in Chinese character in section 16. I included a K-1 witht he address in Chinses but he used the one his Office generated to file. Anyone think this will be a problem? Can I Email the Chinese address to them?

 

Thanks in advance for the help

Hello Robert. Now that you have filed, you can relax for a few months. Seems to take about 4 or 5 months for the NOA 2. Notice of Action. After that maybe a couple of months until you get an interview. No can predict the Visa process, just take an education guess, like the weather. Good luck to you and your SO.

This address is used to mail her her P3. If her Chinese mailmen can read your lawyer's writing, you're okay. Otherwise, maybe no

 

As SOON as you have the GUZ number from the NVC, you may wish to send them the address in Chinese characters.

I did not see what service center you used, I sent mine to Vermont and got mine approved on August 18. 131 days. As of yet it is not at NVC but I will keep checking. I am trying to find out how they will send it to GUZ. Hang in there, it will be over soon enough.

Robert - which Service Center mailed you the NOA-1 ?

 

or - take a look at the NOA-1 - does it say 'Vermont' or 'California' in either the letterhead or postmark?

 

If you had your K-1 sent to california for processing, historically, that center is faster than Vermont.

 

Also, your silly lawyer may be right about the time span, if in fact your casefile is sent electronically via SafeFile from NVC to GUZ, AND IF the service center handling your petition is, indeed, in California.

With some luck you'll have her there in 6-7 months.

Yes the center is in Cali.... Who do I need to tell I will vote for them to get this hurried up?

 

 

Hmmm I wonder if Obama can help. I did vote for him after all he owes me one...
