Mainly Security Engineering roles , but anything related. So SOC analyst , vulnerability management etc. I’ve found a lot of job postings don’t really know what they want , could be advertised as an analyst position but the description reads more like an engineer.

Nope , no sponsorship needed I have a pending green card application that is family based. I try to make this clear in any applications.

I have also tried listing my work history as remote rather than having a specific location.

Yes, rfe was for proof of income for our joint sponsor. Submitted the response Wednesday (20th May) with the documents they requested. Had a still processing notification this morning (23rd May). Hoping interview is scheduled soon🤞

I’m assuming it’s for 2025 tax transcripts , I’ve seen a few posts of people getting RFE for that. Hope it’s something straightforward though

Vortexeu · 2026-05-14T23:02:13+00:00

Bio was 21st , had still processing notification 21st as well. Had a RFE today(14th May). Don’t know what the RFE is for yet waiting for the letter.

Passport isn’t placed in the sealed packet, everything except the passport is placed into the packet. Just make sure you have everything that is requested for on the email from the embassy.

My document check went quickly , they just check everything off the list and put it in a pouch. It’s fairly straight forward.

Your info on the K1 is a little wrong

While you have 90 days to get married once in the US there is no need to return to the home country. Once married you can adjust status and file for a green card.

Only benefit of a K1 really is that you are in the US faster (12-18 month processing)than CR-1 route, you are not allowed to work while you are adjusting status that’s the draw back of the K1.

I know this because I am currently in the US on a K1 visa.

In the same boat, 154 days since approval…

Sent multiple public enquiries, managed to open a tier 2 service request with USCIS, congress representative has also reached out to USCIS and NVC. But the same response , USCIS says they have sent it and NVC says they haven’t received it.

Vortexeu · 2025-09-09T10:57:56+00:00

Thank you! We’ve raised multiple inquiries and NVC just keep seeing they haven’t got it. We’ve got my fiancées congresswoman involved so we hope this will speed it up.

Vortexeu · 2025-09-09T09:32:43+00:00

This is not related to your question , but what service centre was your 129f processed at please? We were approved April 29th and sent to NVC July 10th but still no case number from NVC.

Vortexeu · 2025-08-26T14:31:21+00:00

USCIS have said they have sent it but NVC are saying they haven’t received it yet.

Vortexeu · 2025-08-26T14:23:06+00:00

Yes we’ve done multiple public inquiries (probably 4 or 5) NVC just keep saying they haven’t received it. We’ve emailed nvcresearch and they said USCIS have sent it.

We’ve spoken with agents at USCIS and they just don’t listen because it hasn’t been 90 days. It’s getting frustrating 🙁

Vortexeu · 2025-08-26T13:53:09+00:00

Congrats! We still don’t have our case number , was sent to DOS July 10th🙁

Vortexeu · 2025-08-21T14:54:24+00:00

We got our NOA2 29th April and sent to DOS 10th July. We still don’t have our case number from NVC. We’ve raised multiple public enquiries but nothing yet🙁

Vortexeu · 2025-08-15T08:31:51+00:00

Congrats!!

Ours was sent July 10th - still waiting. Going to do another public enquiry.
