The background check on us should have come back very quickly as well. I've had one for my job and there isn't so much as a small ding in it. Mathew had to have one because he works for CAE in Canada and that's a government type thing. He's pending some kind of NATO security thing, which he had to have a background check done on him for, so I dunno, maybe they just didn't like 9/24. We'll see.


Thanks Kayla.
You guys are all so funny today, from Kayla wanting Mathew's credit card to the squirrel peeing on the laptop. For once since my NOA1 I'm a little loose and not so tense. Or maybe I'm just tired of checking :-(
I signed up for email and text alerts but still I can't stop checking the status online. Darn my phone for having internet!
Anyhow, goodluck to all, getting back to work.
I work at a preschool and the kids keep asking me why am I always on the phone, so I tell them I'm checking for my NOA2. It's hilarious how 3 and 4 year olds try to pronounce NOA2!


I was like this too, setup for mobile alert and email and I just kept checking..and checking.. then one day I noticed a touch, last update changed and I felt it was NOA2..but received nothing...until late at night..I got an email.

Good luck! I hope you hear today!

NVC RECEIVED MY CASE!! I have a case number. I called on the 23rd and yesterday and both told me they didn't have it. This lady said they had it for awhile wacko.gif

Either way, YAY! It hasn't gone out yet but she said call in a week to see when it leaves.



So two times you were told they didn't have it.. and then today she says they've had it for a while? Did she tell you what date they received it?

I was told mine was received on October 23rd and has not gone out yet.. but on 10/23 there was a package sent to the consulate that weighs 3 pounds 1 ounce.. the exact same weight as my packet.. I suppose it is possible there is another packet going to Turkey that weighed exactly the same, but I have heard of people getting packet # 3 and NVC still saying it hasn't been sent out yet... so maybe that package was mine. Who knows...

I think waiting for the packet to go from NVC to the Embassy is more stressful than waiting for NOA2.... huh.gif


Jenn, check on this, I did a search and I see a Turkey one today... I'm not sure whos it is:

8807578356 Shipment data received. 10/27/2009 PORTSMOUTH, MA
DESTINATION: ANKARA ANKARA, TURKEY

It's 4lbs in weight...

CALL NVC ! SEE if it was yours!!

I've been checking my case status about every 10 minutes today because I just had an awesome feeling and then there was a thread on another forum I'm on from this girl who is moving to Canada to be with her love. The first part of their case has received a decision, and now they're waiting for the hard copy to find out what the decision was. Maybe my good feelings were for her, and not for me. Boo!


You'll get it! I'm crossing my fingers for you today!

I think ours was going through background check so quickly because he already had it because hes a marine and I work for the government here in Canada... and when they check the financial side, he gets paid more when hes married... but Im only assuming.

She didn't tell me the date, but just that they had it for awhile. My file with USCIS was touched on the 23rd so they still had it on the 23rd. I think they probably just received it yesterday or today honestly... What am I suppose to do with a case #?

I bet it is yours!! I'm hoping it was yours!

The woman I spoke to today too was so nice..I wish I could have her for all my phone calls.. lol



The first woman I talked to was very unpleasant.. this was when I made the mistake and gave Fuat's birth date wrong... and she put me into a panic. The second woman was very nice, but she did tell me we were in AP, so it's a really small chance that they are mistaken and that was my package. I know my package left USCIS on the 20th.. so chances are they really didn't get it until the 10/23 date they said.. and it was probably not mailed out the same day.

You will need your case number for the consulate. Some of the forms, form the consulate in Turkey, ask for this number.. and I read, somewhere on here, that you should write your case number on the top of all forms even if it's not asked for.. but I can't find that thread now.. so not sure if I really read that or just dreamed the idea up in my own head.


That sounds like a good organizational thing too do anyway - just in case. I'll do it. Thank you! I love making sure all my ducks are in a row. I read these forums and others for about a month before we filed - ensuring I had everything we needed and in order. (Seems like its paying off too)

Yeah, we jumped the gun. All of those things already have deposits on them. Bill Caine took our engagement pictures in August and I sent those in with my K-1, and wrote on the back his photography blog where they could be found online as well. Hopefully this helps. smile.gif

Also, Mathew's parents are coming down for the wedding, as well as many of his other relatives so he's going to bring his stuff with him whenever he comes down. He wont be back to Kentucky until our wedding so I guess that means I get to pick out our apartment and decorate it!!! Yay! I can't tell you how many times I've told him to just give me his credit card number and close his eyes, lol. I AM a girl, afterall! kicking.gif

Has anyone here set a potential wedding date yet or are we all holding off until after the interview? I've been anxious to start planning but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I roughly figured I'd set a date once I receive my interview date and make it for a month or two after that date... or is that not going to work either? bleh wacko.gif

Also, I would have entered on my K1 visa, but I have a passport and we plan on marrying pretty much the week I am allowed to enter on the K1... after I marry am I allowed to leave to bring my stuff down?

Our problem is that hes in the USMC and he lives on military base - and until we're married they won't provide base housing and won't allow him to live off base.

So I need to come down, get married THEN get a place to live, then go back to Canada and get my stuff (mainly my cats and their documents)... but I heard that I'm not allowed to leave for 3 months once I enter? or is that only BEFORE I get married?

Help...lol

OK... so I called NVC and they received my package on 10/23 and said it was not sent to the consulate yet. So I guess the one showing on DHL, sent out on 9/24 and wieghing the same at my packet wasn't mine.

I have heard some people say NVC says they still have it, and it's actually at the consulate, but I have no idea how to check that.

AND.. I think I made a HUGE mistake.

Sort of difficult to explain.. Fuat was born on October 3, but his Birth Certificate was not registered until December 3.. so shows December 3 as his date of birth. We listed December 3 on all the papers, but when I called NVC I forgot and said the date of birth was October. They told me I had the wrong birth date and when I realized what I had done, and tried to explain, the person on the phone told me that if the date of birth is wrong I need to send a corrected copy of his birth certicate and ask to have it changed.

All records in Turkey show 12/3... He won't be able to get one with 10/3.. and now I am wondering if they have made a note of this in their file and it is really going to screw us up!!!!

I am panicking a little bit!


Try not to worry, if a copy of the birth certificate was with the application then they may just assume you gave the wrong birthday over the phone. His BC is his proof... and all the documents you said list the same date on the BC.


I did include a copy of his BC with our packet. The woman on the phone was like a cold fish and kept saying "that's the not date of birth Ma'am. I can't help you".. and then when I realized I was saying October instead of December, I tried to explain to her that he was born in October but that his birth was not registered until December and that was what his BC said .. and that I forgot, but she said I needed to get the BC corrected and send it to them to have it changed for the petition.

So I am wondering if they noted this in the file.. or put some note that Fiance doesn't know birth date or something. We can't get the BC changed.. he tried a long time ago...

I am trying not to worry... but it's more like panick!! We've had so many roadblocks in the past few years, and we got through all this so quickly... only to maybe have me screw it up by not remembering to give the December date!

I really hope it's not a big deal, but I am just sick to my stomache right now.


Maybe call again in a few days, see if they sent it off..and you could always just say oh I was saying October because we're in the month of october.. we all say the wrong date at some point for something.. Try not to be too hard on yourself, I am sure it will be fine.. especially since all legal records indicate his birthday in december.

It wasn't too detailed but we tried to give a timeline of all events.

ohh...then it may be different for you. in our p4 packet, they only asked for my fiance's marriage/divorce cert (in ecuador they are on the same paper). they didn't ask for that from me, just took my divorce judgement from the original petition.

The other medical place still isn't booking yet for April. So I am currently sitting with an April 1st appointment at the other medical place - HOPING to change it to a closer date.

Really...

Us poor east coasters...

It costs me a fortune to fly there - so even if I go now or prior to my appointment it will still cost me a fortune.

Tickets are 550+ on sale or 700 regular.

The cheapest hotel I can locate is 50$ a night..which is cheap..but for over a week stay with an April 1st appointment.. that's over 400$ - on top of that is the medical cost of 215 or 275, plus any vaccination they may decide I need, then the visa at 131, then food for over a week stay.

(yes..we all know the prices..sorry LOL)

I'm looking at near $1500 just to get montreal taken care of in the start of April. $2500 in the middle of april for my move to the states...and then whatever the total of the wedding costs at the end of April will be.

... why did they closed the medical office in Halifax in 2008.

It's great being in the clouds isn't it?? :) But.. time to get to work and get those papers ready :)

I hope you are right about the interview. I am not really worried about actually getting the visa. I know we will not be denied.. am worried about being put in AP and having to wait another 4-6 months and... family pressure at home is going to get worse the closer we get to the interview or to his actually leaving. Just want it over, done with and have him here :)

Don't get me wrong about the "family pressure" thing... his family loves me.. but this is a traditional country,where arranged marriages still happen and the the oldest son still moves his wife in with the family.. and she helps his mom with the housework while he supports the family. It doesn't happen everywhere anymore.. but he comes from a very traditional family. We have some obstacles to overcome besides the visa.. He's not just the oldest child.. he's the only son. Stress is high, but I am trying to keep positive.. and reading everyone's good news helps with that :)

But.. having to delay things by being put in AP will be really rough.. so I just keep praying that doesn't happen ( but Ankara seems to be handing it out like candy lately). I just checked and the last couple to go through Ankara still has not posted their results.

Going to try not to stress too much over the next few weeks.. will just focus on Krystle and her good news to come :)


We'll be thinking about you.. and I am still sure it's going to work out ..hopefully without AP.!

Do I need my marriage certificate if I have my divorce certificate and stamped judgment of the name change? I really don't want to pay money to have a marriage certificate that I am going to burn or throw in the trash after this is done.. paid for it once before to give to the divorce judge.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for my long absences as of late. I just got back from Brazil with Alice. I can't even believe that she is here, seems surreal. LOL

Anyway, just wanted to report a couple of things. I went to Brazil for the interview, I was so excited, our interview was on the 21st at 7:45am. We were in front of the Consulate at 6:15am (there was already a line). We finally got in the consulate at 8:20am. The first part in the consulate were workers gathering all the materials that needed to be taken, we then waited until about 10am when the Consul started interviewing. We were both very nervous. Then out of the blue through one of the windows the Consul officer was there waving at me, and turned out he is a friend of mine. Needlessly to say, I got interviewed by another officer, but I thought it was wild. My interview was quick and to the point. In 10 minutes we were approved. Afterwards we requested an expedited delivery of the visa (in Rio you are not allowed to pick the visa up, you have to use the courier service). Last wednesday we received the envelop with her passport and visa, as well as some sealed paperwork to give at the port of entry.

We came in via Atlanta, the officer was supper friendly asked 2 questions and sent us to another room. There another officer took the sealed envelop typed something into the computer checked a couple of things, and then handed her the passport and said that she has 90 days to tie the knot. Then we grabbed our luggage, and it was scanned by a huge machine, and then we were in the US. So no hassle at all. :)

Cheers,

Luis

PS: I will slowly catch up on the posts... But I am super happy!!! :D

I just did the craziest thing ever... I met someone here on VJ that has their interview a day before me & glenoi and so I changed my flight to leave the same day as she's leaving from New York, I guess it doesn't hurt to have company :star:
Originally it would've cost me $129 to make the change but I was on the phone with Jetblue for 2 Hours so they changed it for FREE & gave me a credit of $100 :devil: Glenoi told me not to change it because we really can't afford it so now I have to break it to him, what the heck, I'm older so what I say goes :yes:
So now I'm leaving 2/9 instead of 2/11

:dance: 8 Days Before I See My Love, 11 Days Until Interview :dance:


Oh nice!!! Have fun!!!! ..and yes company helps =)

I think that when we get the visa for Mathew(and since our interview is on a Tuesday it should be there by friday while I'm still with him), I'll just cry. Because that will be the finality of it all. Sure, there's still AOS and everything to go through, but if we can overcome what we already have. If we can all go through the uncertainty of not knowing what the future is going to hold, then we can do anything. I want to hold that package in my hands and I want to cry. I want to know that this is over and that what we've been going through together hasn't been in vain.

This process has been the most stressful thing I've ever done. It has also brought me great friends(family :)), more knowledge, and a better appreciation of our relationship. I appreciate everything Mathew is so much more now. He is my rock, and I am his. He and I have had some bad times in our relationship, dealing with our past one. But I see now through this that if he's willing to do all that he has just to have the chance to call me his wife, then there will never be anything else in this world that can break us. We're so much stronger than that.

Oh.. and that couple from the Turkish thread still has not posted the results of their interview. It was 3 days ago.. so hoping that does not mean bad news for them. She didn't go over for the interview, or else I would think they are just too happy celebrating together to be able to worry about getting on here.. but.. I know that's not the case.

I really hope things went well for them.. and if things went well, then I can stress a little less about our interview and being told we are being put in AP

24 days.. and I leave in 19 days! :)

My mom gets on the plane to Istanbul in 24 days ! She'll come to Istanbul the day after our interview and meet Faut for the first time :):)


Yay!! I hope it goes well!!!!!! Aww It's great that they are going to be meeting =)

Started off the morning to kind of a bad start today. My fiance went to have his medical exam yesterday, should have done it 3 weeks ago but that's a whole other issue, and he's got a thing for waiting until the very last possible moment.(something I'm going to have to learn to live with because I am a planner!) Anyway, he ended up having to receive every possible vaccination there is and it cost him hundreds of dollars yesterday. I really think just because he wasn't as well informed as he should have been, he might have gotten scammed a little bit. Also, he forgot his passport and has to go all the way back to capitol today too and then again tomorrow because I'm flying in. Somehow this is my fault.I need to vent! I just don't know exactly what I'm venting! I think the stress is getting to us even though we are so close now. Grr.

Anyway, second interview is Monday, and I'm more frustrated than excited.


Good luck on his interview!!!


Yeah, the closer we get the more worried/stress we seem to get. It won't go away until visa in hand and AOS filed. Don't worry though, it will all get done eventually and everything will be perfectly fine. All you can do is take it one day at a time, and do what you can within your means for that day... that's it. Deep breath...and remember... no matter what, this process will show you both how well you can work together, come together, and in the end strengthen you with patience and love towards each other.

and feel free to vent here anytime... that's why we're here. We all feel the stress from this process and life in general.
