Me too! My family and friends keep asking what's going on, and I just have to tell them that I either don't know, or on my angrier days I tell them that my officer must be a lazy sod. I know they're busy, but ....

We'll see. *crosses fingers*

I'd hoped I'd have some information for large family gathering tomorrow, but.. not going to get my hopes up on that one. dry.gif


I'm freaking tired of answering those kinds of question....When are you leaving? What's going on? Sometimes I don't even want to go out cause I know they are all gonna ask the same annoying questions over and over again! mad.gif

I asked this yesterday but nobody answer...Is USCIS gonna work on friday?


I completely understand what you are saying. EVERY SINGLE TIME I talk to someone they ask me (including my parents). I tell them "Don't you think I would tell you if something happened"!!!! STOP ASKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR REAL! It should be one of those questions you just don't ask, like "Are you pregnant?" Wait for me to tell you damnit. ranting33va.gif
I actually haven't told my parents about the visa yet... months ago I told them we were hiring a lawyer to help get my SO here, and other than that, I said, don't ask about it. I'll tell you when we have a solid plan. But lots of people in my life are always asking "when is he moving here?".
I guess it'll be that much more worth it when I do finally have an answer to give.


You are absolutely right. They shouldn't ask. I realize they ask cause they care, but come on, think people! of course after I tell them people try to give me advice (like I haven't researched this to no end) or ask why doesn't he just get a work visa? UGH! So then you have to go into the entire process, how it works, why they don't know what they are talking about, etc.

You know what else I get asked? Why he doesn't just come here and work illegally. B/c so many people do it, and a lot in NY in particular I would guess (hell, I have friends who are illegally here), so they ask me that. Which frustrates me even more, b/c the implication is that if we just did that, we could be together now, so really it's my own fault we're apart for trying to do things the right way.
sooooo frustrating!


Right. I get asked that too. Uh, maybe because you don't want to live your life that way and constantly worry. The thing about this process is that if you are not involved in it you really have no idea of all the bits and pieces. I told everyone at Thanksgiving to not ask me about anything with the word visa in it. Otherwise I will be eating Turkey in my car.

Ok...I'm freaking out here....I just called VSC and the said that they haven't recieved anything.....she told me to resend it...and I told her that last week when I called this person told me that it could be on the mail room and to wait....so this girl tells me now to resend it or to wait, it hasn't been checked and she said that it could be on the mail room.

How can I resend it again if we had to sent back the orginal letter with Pat's signature and checking the NO on the answer they gave us.....???? Then I have to wait till next week....



I would send it again....return receipt requested....I think this whole place is hosed.........they do not seem to know there ### from a hole in the wall....Sorry Mirla......this sucks so bad.....I am frankly ashamed to say this is a U.S. government agency


...but far from surprised.

Hi G&A,
I haven't told you this, but your chart is really great..I appreciate all your hard work!! I'm sure everyone finds it helpful too.
When you have the time, maybe you could update my part. You'll notice I have 2 horses in a race now. I originally filed for K-3, but am chasing a CR-1 too...whichever comes first.

Thanks so much & Good luck on your Journey..Godspeed

I GOT AN RFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe this ######???? crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif

How long is this going to postpone things?????



Hang on Steph it might be something very fixable....easily.........with Byron it was only a week or so........so have hope


I have a feeling they may ask for a copy of Darren's divorce papers. At the time of application we didn't have the official court documents, just a letter from the court. We have them now though. That is the only thing I can think of.


I suspect you are right Steph abou the the decree absolute. Do you have an original of the document? Cos the thing with the UK doc is that its so nondescript.

Just be prepared to overnight the RFE docs backs to VSC as soon as you get their request. Make sure on the outside of the envelope that you mark it "RFE" in RED letters. That helps it to get routed propery once it is received at VSC.

Good luck Steph! I hope this won't hold you up too much longer.


Do they need the original? I will probably get that by week's end. I do have a copy now though. thanks for the insight of how to mail!!! phew...

Did you get an RFE? Did it work fast for you?


No, I didn't get an RFE. I sent in originals of pretty much everything cos I didn't want to risk an RFE. It was worth the investment to get duplicate originals of all legal documentation. For me, I was meticulous about everything I submitted since we'd had to wait over a year to file while divorces were battled out in the courts.

However, I have research this sight for well over a year and have seen and heard just about everything! I'm not sure if they'll want an original Decree Absolute from you. The RFE will tell you for sure. To err on the side of caution, I'd have your fiance post an original to you. He can get a replacement for free for himself by calling the court - that's what my fiance did.

Timewise, like someone else pointed out - Lora I think - RFE turn around can be pretty swift, like Byron, or a long time like Mel & Syl. I hope yours won't take long! Those of you with RFEs having been waiting long enough!!!


God, I hope mine goes as quick as Byron's does. I don't think I could take it.

It is just another example of the small-minded Americans (not all of us). During the last election, politicians and the media used the gay marriage issue to distract us from the real problems going on in this country. This election they are using immigration. Unfortunately, the dumb ones will fall for it again.

It really is a shame. "Land of the Free" is a loose term nowadays. Don't get me wrong, we are still better off then many, but we are a far cry from what we were. What is forgotten is that we are all immigrants of some form or another. I am not sure why this political generation feel entitled to shut the country doors now. Who do they think they are? Not that I want to go on a rant here....

That was my point....everyone is technically an immigrant...these people should realize that!

Yes, but....these people in this small town in North Dakota were most likely all born there. They are not immigrants. Their ancestors were. And are they really racist? Maybe they just want to preserve their own local culture by deciding not to open businesses that will attract immigrant workers. It's their choice. And still a right......right? Don't get me wrong, I prefer a good blend of many cultures in my neighborhood. But not every American wants this. Otherwise those residents wouldn't be living in Bumf#@k, North Dakota. So, i dont think I can say that choice is racist. Judging someone by their skin tone, ethnic background, etc....That's racist. Unfortunately so many Americans are on high alert now, very cautious of "outsiders" or "new comers" or "immigrants". But can you really blame them? The hairless chimp in D.C. scares this nation into pre-judging. Its a shame. We've taken a step back. And that's not good. "we're a far cry from what we were"....well, do you remember the 50's and 60's?? Ask an older black American. No sir, we do not need to be what we were. We need education and security. This brings trust and open minds. Then eventually we get through this mess.

Yeah Jason I'd heard the same thing about K1s, you have to speak to a person.

If you happen to hear something...let me know (PM plz) and I'll call them myself later or tomorrow.

I hear ya. What I meant by "...what we were" was referring more to not having to worry about my phone being tapped by that horse's ###. I completely hear what you are saying though.

There is quite a lot of ignorance in Navarette's article. I think the only way to stop illegal immigration is to put tarrifs on countries like China and India that use super-cheap labor, which would make american products with american labor more cost-competitive. To compete with the cost of Chinese goods, a lot of american countries are forced to use illegal immigrant labor.

If you don't want illegal immigrant labor, stop shopping at Walmart. The super budget stores are driving prices down to unreasonable levels.



Yup, I never and will never buy anything at Walmart.

It'll be a week on Thursday since our NOA2.

When do you guys think I should try calling NVC to see if they have gotten (and/or sent?) our case?

Drew, I called today around 1pm. Opted to use only the automated system and was told that they have no record of my file. So, this means they haven't received it yet, or something. Perhaps after 6 I'll call again and speak to a real person and ask nicely. I would imagine that our files were sent together in the same shipment. don't know. But I'll be waiting nearby to see if you hear something interesting.... whistling.gif



I would recommend speaking to a person. It also said mine hadn't been received yet at the NVC when I used the automated part....in reality, it was in transit to Sydney and it just hadn't been entered into the system yet. I called a few days later and they had said it was sent off about 2-3 days after they received my file.

I believe you/we will never have your info on the automated system due to some fluke of retardedness and that you HAVE to speak with a person. Don't bother with the automated thing; it's a waste of time as far as I know.
And yes, if it's been a week, call today! I'm going to call or email them tomorrow.


"...some fluke of retardedness". I like that. laughing.gif

For those of you waiting....hang in there....let me share what Amr said this morning after our approval that hit me as being a bit deep. He didnt MEAN it to be..but as you will see...it REALLY relates to what we are going through as "waiters".........


Once Amr asked me why women have more than one baby, if the first one hurts sooooooooo much to have. I said that after the birth, the new mother can only focus on her new little one...and the love she has makes her forget all the pain she endured to bring that baby into this world. He still didnt understand.

This morning he said, Faith, this is so odd, so weird. He said...Im so happy that I dont remember the wait. I said THATS CHILDBIRTH!!! LOL. BUT...its deep what he said....we work so hard, sweat it out till we get that approval, agonize over it, cry over it, worry over it. Then when that blessed event of an approval happens...we soon forget the pain of the wait...an d focus on our love and the future. Just like that new mother. So keep in mind, this is like labor...delivery is about to happen...and soon...all will be forgotten....Keep your eyes ahead, not on your feet.



YES! THIS IS SO TRUE. I swear I cried every night until we got our NOA2, but after that I barely cried over that visa again! It's a fantastic feeling and enjoy it!! Just think...in about 8 weeks you guys might have your interview!


BUT...if you thought USCIS was bad, just wait till you start calling DOS. I would rather call VSC all day every day than deal with the DOS witches. A couple of them are nice but most of them are not. Best wishes to you!!!



You are all so wonderful. I know I am still waiting, but this touch made today's waiting game a little bit easier. kicking.gif

I hope everyone waiting is blessed with their noa2 very very soon. I know how hard it is to come here and read all these approvals.....

First I want to thank ALL of you for your support and putting up with my mood swings...I know this is hard. For those not approved yet, you time IS coming...I think they are getting the message and the pressure is on to get those April, May, June filers waiting approved. I just hope your noa2's come soon.

With that said...Im happy to announce...that...


WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!

I would definitely vote against Senator Webb when his term is up. Senators tend to forget that they are merely representatives of their jurisdiction. That has been the problem with the direction of our government. They're no longer working for us, the citizens. They're working for lobbyists and special interest groups.

Is there a way to check the USCIS online case status without logging out and then in again each time? When I refresh the page I get this message: "Access To Selected Resource Not Authorized. You have not Logged In or Your Session has Timed Out." Then I need to log out and start over. I am using Internet Explorer 7.0.

Thanks. smile.gif


Click on the receipt number, then you can go back by clicking "Return to Portfolio List"



That is one of MANY problems.
