HAHAHAHA call me Jen... Esposa de Tucho is Wife of Tucho ( my husbands nick name)

anyway, when I called yesterday, the USCIS doesn't even have a record of me sending a fax with the requested evidence. We sent it on Sunday morning. ELECTRONICALLY !!!
I was transferred to different reps yesterday . Very helpful BUT had no info for me. I will be calling again today and every day until I get the answer I am looking for. They told me when they receive the fax then I should hear something within 5 days . I am sure they will take 10 days or so to receive the info. It seems they always have a way around things. Like how they won't undate the processing times on the website. God forbid they get phone calls from people who are out of the processing times.

My husband is bummed out. He just wants to be here with me. Yesterday his motorcycle broke down and now he needs to take 2 buses to get to work everyday. I feel bad that I can't be there for him.


hey Jen! It just seems like it is one thing after another..... Keep the faith, this immigration nightmare will be over very soon and we will be reunited with our familes.
We need to hook up on FB... we all need to keep in touch such that we can laugh over all these trials and tribulations this time next year smile.gif


You will find me with my full name Sonia Sharmin Diana, in the facebook...However, it is currently deactivated, becuz everyone everytime asks me the same damn question " where r u going to US?" I am tired of this question...I will be back in track as soon as I get NOA2 .... please add me with a small note....

Here's how my stuff is:

Birth certificate == maiden
Marriage certificate == maiden
Canadian visa == married
Canadian SSN == married
Passport == maiden
Application == married (put "maiden" as "other names")
Visa + Green card == maiden.
American SSN == married.
Correspondence from USCIS= married.

I believe USCIS will continue to call me by my maiden name until I become a citizen. I am not sure what the procedure for changing it afterwards is.


Does that implies, upto green card it will me maiden name, when I apply for SSN and other state IDs I can use my married name?


I think for K3 who haven't already changed their name, and want to, the best time is when filing for AOS. My wife was asked at the AOS interview, whether she wanted a "married name" on the green card. Her answer was no but it would have been fine either way.

For a CR1, I would suggest changing the passport before the visa interview and having the visa in the new name. I don't trust the CBP officers at the POE to get USCIS business done. K3 could do the same, of course. Changing the passport is probably the hardest part. If it's easier to change the passport in your home country than through their Embassy or Consulate in the US, do it before the visa is issued.


But I don't have my married name in my marriage certificate...I-130 has got the Maiden name....what should I do if I really want to have my married name?

Thank you so much everyone...

my marriage certificate has my birth name, if I would have done my I-130 and passport in my married name, would it have been a problem?

Can I chose to have my married name in my green card ...actually at POE?

When is the right time to change my name if I want to, after I finish my visa procedure?


My wife also retained her maiden name in all the applications. This way everything including her birth certificate, passport and marriage certificate would be in sync. We figured we would have less complications this way. I don't know if a marriage certificate alone is sufficient proof for name change or if we would also need to get some kind of name change certificate.

In any case there is a chance my wife will continue keep her original name even after she reaches the US but in case she decides to change it, we will probably do it during her citizenship process (when a name change can be done relatively painlessly and she gets all new documents including passport, social security card, etc with her new name).

Logical...exactly my way of thinking...

Well, I this is a bit silly of me to post something like this…but I have few queries…

1)In my marriage certificate I have my maiden name , is that a problem?

2)For No-1 I also put my regular name in I-130, becuz I don’t took his name with me, as we wondered that all my certificates and other papers tend to have my full name, but is it going to be a problem if I wanted it for a consistency?

3)My passport also has my maiden name not the marriage name with my husband’s name instead of my father’s…

4) Is it mandatory to take husbands' last name?

Do u think I made a mess?

Hi Everybody,

I am a Aug filer, I have got both the NOA1 for I 130 and I129F. I am able to check my status for the I-130 online but when i try to check the status of my I-129F recepit number on the uscis system, it comes back with "case not found, please check the case number". I was wondering if tat has happened to anyone else, or has my case really gone missing.



I have the same problem..made some complains to the USCIS .. but no response...

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS 3032 Form
So bottom line is...For Choice of Agent form, I just mention my case number in the top of the form and send it to NVC, barcode is not mandatory....

Lets discuss something which may irritate some ppl as I know it will be stupid of me....but what if I send the Choice of Agent form before it is generated....like, from here in Bangladesh it takes 3 working days for fedex to deliver documents to US, and after a case number is assigned, sometimes it takes longer to generate AOS bill and Choice of Agent...in such situation, does NVC accepts the shipment and conserves it for when it is needed?


PS: I know the option of sending it to my hubby now and let him send it through when it is generated.Please ignore this option.

AHHHHHHH
I found something about it in James` shortcuts guide:

You can do most of below steps BEFORE your case gets transferred to the NVC. You will not know your NVC case number, but other than that you should have the following forms completed:

* DS-3032: - Have it signed by the foreign spouse (beneficiary) and mail it to the petitioner in US before your case gets to the NVC.

The DS-3032 mailed out has the NVC case number barcoded on the top.


Ok...So tomorrow I will send to my husband by mail that DS 3032
Hmmmmm blink.gif


James' shortcuts are out of date. I gave the link to the newest procedures in an earlier post in this thread.

1) Is it ok if I generate the barcode in sticky paper or I just do it manually like print on a normal paper and stick it with a glue?

2) Since the barcode has a standard size which is smaller than the text where it has to place in 3032 form, is it ok if I cut the printed barcode paper horizontally a bit longer so that I can make the text invisible [Place Case Barcode Strip Here Before Mail it the National Visa Center]?

Dear rebeccajo..Whatsoever, I don't wanna deal AOS, atleast I have to file with all other papers and so on...that is why, cosidering the overall time frame, CR1 is my choice...beside, in March, we will have my 2nd anniversary...so more likely to get IR1 (green card for 10 years after POE)... so perhaps no condition lifting issue...

We are going for CR1....but we will proceed K3 as well, then will try to flip our interview date...But, for sure, we will proceed CR1....cuz don't have much energy left to deal with VSC once again for AOS.....I may loose couple of months if I am put on AP...but it is worthed than dealing VSC for AOS....

More approvals are coming...Cross ur fingers....and pray to God....



So how did he find out you were approved? before he called the USCIS office with you on conference call?


He keeps calling USCIS time to time....Today coming back from work..he made the call to enquire about our I129f...then got the news....

Then he called me and gave the news, I did not believe as the case status online did not changed till I slept and my hubby was saying it was approved on January 19th..then we had a conference call....where he talked and I was hearing and crying eventually....

Thank you so much everyone......I am so happy today, and I cried....

Here is some of the answers that may help u guys....

Fortunately or unfortunately, my I129f was never in the USCIS system...so my hubby told them that, and the rep transferred the call to the supervisor where he he said that I-129f was approved 2 days back..Then my hubby asked that we also have a I-130, and he replied that is also approved at the same day.. He called in the 1-800 regular number....

Please call for urself to know about the status of ur case, and best to talk to the supervisor, not the rep....

My hubby then called the NVC, where our K3 visa number was generated and asked to call them on friday or the monday to get the I130 case number (which is not yet been generated for some reason).

God bless everyone....Pray for us....

QUOTE (Nena23 @ Jan 23 2009, 08:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So I called NVC this morning, I figured Ill have better luck trying to see if nvc received my papers since sonia said her k3 was already their, rather than spendin 5 hours on the phone arguing with a uscis robot rep, and they told me they don't have any of my case numbers and that its not in their systems...

I was hoping but I guess nada... sonia said that her k3 was never with her i130 or something like that, maybe when she caled regarding that problem uscis decided to just approve it???

I dunno but I hope next week isn't sooooooo quiet with hardly any approvals sad.gif



We called USCIS first.... I had my I-129F NOA1, but that was not ever found in USCIS online system and whenever we want to have an enquiry, we had to talk to a supervisor at USCIS....

When we knew that we were approved on 19th/20th (we have not received NOA2 neither my case status changed), my speculation said that the NVC should have got it by 22nd..so I asked my hubby to call @ NVC and we found that they just received our cases where I got K3 visa number and yet to receive CR1 visa ....which should be given by today....

Hope more approvals are coming up....

I have just seen the USCIS update of timeline...this is so stupid of them...as of Nov 30 they processed April 01, 2008? Weird....they are really pain in A$$....

I forgot to say...Sonia's approval proved a theory I had in my head.

Since no one got any email approvals this week, I was beginning to think that maybe the email system was down again and everyone would be getting paper NOA2's instead. The thought occured to me today when I was driving home.

There's a chance a lot of you may have already been approved but don't know it yet whistling.gif

I, on the other hand, will not be getting my hopes up...since as of last week our petition wasn't even assigned to anyone.



Don't loose hope sweetie...I would suggest everyone expecting an approval to talk to supervisor....

One way is that to say a case number to the rep which would be a wrong ...and ask for supervisor...when u get one somehow, give them the real case number and ask for its status......

Well,

Everyone is in darkness...no one knows what is going on with the VSC...USCIS is not updating its webpage neither giving approvals....last few days were worst than ever....aren't they working at all?

Please give me some way to vent my depression a bit....

Please help me....

Well, this is just for an information that filed transfered in December (August and July) are getting approvals in regular intervals....

One of those got approved wants her case to delay for one year at NVC....Ppl who get it, then don't want it...It is from one of the august I-130 filers.

One of the November filer of VSC screaming to get approval soon by this week as he was transfered....

Is there anyone who can shed some light what will happen to June filers with k3?

OK, Obama is working today... Maybe the people at the VSC are working too!!!

I don't understand how the USCIS can be sending multiple letters to the people who are moving to the NVC and not even so much as a TOUCH for the rest of us who are waiting for our NOA2's... let alone an approval.
Can they get any more unorganized or ####-backwards?


It's NVC sending the letters, USCIS is out of the picture for now THANK GOD!




either way, I don't understand how it goes from hearing NOTHING to OVERKILL... It doesn't make sense.


You want a sense from VSC? Come'n it does not make sense to me at all...rather, neither VSC Nor the whole immigration process make sense.... ppl with K1 gets faster approval, spouse of USC remains apart month after month, year after year...specially who filed k3 to get their spouse to come with all minimum rights while for some time, they have done the biggest mistake....

Don't try to find sense in this non-sense issue...all u do is pray...once it is done, never have to look back....

But seriously....this waiting dangerously affecting my emotion....

CJ!! biggrin.gif hi! Glad to see you
Glad you made it safely, I hope you had a wonderful time...Im sure you did smile.gif

Im not gonna stress about it either yet. I have read many people getting these multiple letters. I was going to call NVC today, but didnt get a chance. I guess i need to see if they say our was sent already also.


Lisa


Lisa babyy....sorry if I have hurt you..it was just a joke...anyways...

Narina...if something is happening to u ... I wonder what would happen to us (June K3 Filers). I don't find myself in anywhere....Stand alone I-130 filers got transferred and started getting approvals.... Then again, VSC started giving august K3 files to get approved, I thought they gonna move backward, like August, July, June...But, very unfortunate, they just stopped giving anything for last 10 days...

I can feel a lil pain how Lisa, Narina felt....along with mamalou and some others... I am afraid of being delayed forever..... I am so broken.....

anyways...God Bless everyone....
