I remember a very specific moment, lying awake the night after breaking my ankle, feeling all distraught and thinking I'd have to go home, when I just decided that I was NOT going to go home; I was going to stay, and make it all work... I sometimes wonder if that was one of the defining moments of my life of course, I then had to call my poor suffering mother... which was an adventure in itself, as this all happened in what had until very recently been East Germany, and there weren't any phones I think I said something like 'I've had a few more problems...' and her 'yeeeeessss...' was very guarded all of a sudden it sounds like a sitcom!

Steve arrived in the US about a month ago now, and everything is great!! He came in through JFK, so he got a work stamp (although it looks reallly dodgy!). AND, he already got a job working with a company called Australian Landscaping and Construction, which is actually owned by a couple Aussie guys so it is perfect for him! He manages groups of workers and sort of oversees different projects. He really likes it, and they gave him a company truck and fuel card as well. Plus, they are really easy about the work stamp stuff and getting time off for the wedding because at least one of them has been through this whole thing before. He also went in to apply for a S.S. number a couple weeks ago and all went well, so should be arriving any day now. We're so excited to finally be together!!!! I'm loving every minute of this. Good luck and best wishes to everyone - finally getting to be together forever Take care wow, that is so wonderful, congratulations to you both!! i cannot wait for tuesday!!

I'm so glad that you did get yours b/4 we got ours. I'd feel really bad if we got our b/4 you. Okay all this talk about approvals has gotten me thinking... Is NOA2 just the first hurdle? What I mean is once you get the "approval" what are the chances that later down the line (NVC, foreign office, interview etc) the application might get rejected? I mean I know that after the interview one could be denied but who else has a say in this? What does the NVC actually "do" haha well heres my take on the matter...they do checks at each stage, but very few people get held up at the nvc...they do perform security checks (names checks and such) though basically, if you do everything correctly (pay the fee, sign all the forms, provide sufficient evidence, provide the proper documentation), you will not get denied at the service center (vsc, csc)...you are almost guaranteed an approval, at some point, as long as you file correctly...of course they can give you rfe(s), but if you do what they say, you will eventually get approved then the packet goes to nvc, they basically enter the name(s) into the system, do some name checks and send it on its merry way then comes the embassy...the embassy interview, in my opinion, is the most likely time that one will be denied...they can either approve your case, request more evidence, or deny your case...i think that the embassy interview is the scariest, because its very subjective, and they can deny your case if they feel the relationship is not bonafide, even if it is!! oy vey	BabyBlueSusie	Female	Albania	2007-12-20 17:10:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	ATTENTION JULY FILERS!	I am going to miss the VJ site for the next 10 days or so - I am flying out to see my honeybunch in the UK. This will be an interesting experience for me as I have never been out of the country. Maybe someone can help me with a question - I am taking wine, cheese and honey with me and have everything packed in a box. Can they check that box? Does it go towards my weight limit for check in? I am so new and this and emailed the airline and didn't receive any responses. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. One thing I won't stop thinking about is the good news that we are all longing to hear. I am praying that it will be sooner than expected. I keep hearing of the dates going backward - mine went from October 26th to November 25th. Ugh! Let's just keep our chins up and get through this together. As I am with the sunshine of my life, I will think of all of you and pray that you can be with your sunshines soon too! you need to find out if the UK has restrictions as to what you are allowed to bring from the US without claiming it at customs...some things are just simply not allowed to be imported...like from italy, one cannot being cheese, prosciutto, and some other foods...other things are allowed, but with restriction on quantity...an example: one can bring one single bottle of wine with them from italy to the us...any more than that has to be claimed at customs...you want to avoid claiming anything, because it makes things go much faster...the liquids will not be allowed on the plane with you, so you will have to check that bag and it will go toward your weight allowance (usually about 50 lbs i think)...whatever you physically carry onto the plane with you does not count toward that limit...you should be able to check the box with all of the things, you can check just about anything as long as its not illegal	BabyBlueSusie	Female	Albania	2007-08-16 15:41:00

They haven't been ugly about it...just looking after my best interest. After they met Peter and got to know him better, it eased off some...but they still mention it sometimes...grrrrr. wow that is pretty silly, i must say...no offense, but does you family know about the uk? im just being silly here, but seriously the pound is worth TWICE the dollar, lower unemployment, free healthcare, free education (including university), etc, etc, etc...why would he be using you to come here? oy vey, silly americans! =) my fiance is albanian, believe me... im actually amazed that my family hasnt said anything of the sort its probably because we met in italy and all i do is rave about the benefits of living there (like those which i mentioned for the uk)...im just talking nonsense	BabyBlueSusie	Female	Albania	2007-08-08 14:15:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	ATTENTION JULY FILERS!	just a thought...bszoom42 has a comprehensive list of all the vsc filers that are still waiting for NOA2s (im sure many of you have seen it)...someone should find out how he does this list...i am not extremely computer literate, so i would not be the appropriate candidate...i know that he derives this list automatically based on people's timelines...if we did this sort of list, then we wouldnt be limited to simply those who are active in the thread....just a thought how funny is that smiley face!?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	ATTENTION JULY FILERS!	The Nebraska Service Center has had my application for 13 days now....should I have already received my NOA1 u think? I know I'm acting like a crazy man already. Isn't there a phone number I can call to get my WAC# since I paid by money order? I've never been so anxious to be put on a waiting list in my life just relax, it probably takes a little longer because they have to forward your petition to the CSC...no worries...trust me, it doesnt get easier once you get that number! =) if you dont hear anything in another 7-10 days i would begin to worry best of luck	BabyBlueSusie	Female	Albania	2007-08-06 16:15:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	ATTENTION JULY FILERS!	i just wanted to chime in with some timeline research that ive been doing, concerning last year's processing times ive been doing research on those people who applied last year, around the same time of year as us...here are the results that i have found for VSC 2006: Average time between NOA1 and NOA2 April NOA1: 70 days May NOA1: 80 days June NOA1: 61 days July NOA1: 48 days August NOA1: 30 days I think, that it is safe to say that the end is near...i think that this means sometime in august is when they are going to really pick it up again...for people like me, my NOA1 was on July 10th...if i go by this data, my wait should be somewhere around 48 days, BUT i narrowed my research, and found the following for VSC 2006: Average time between NOA1 and NOA2 July 5-15 NOA1: 65 days July 10-15: 55 days so basically it should be about two months for me...we shall see...in essence, we must remember that this trend is normal...although we have seen some crappy weeks the past couple of weeks, with virtually no turn over rate...the vsc will be back in action soon enough, i have faith in it =) hang in guys, and im sorry to say, that the may filers are probably seeing the worst of it...i think there will probably be a huge slew of approvals in 2-3 weeks or so, and itll probably include june filers as well i absolutely posted that in the wrong thread, but i guess it is somewhat relevant here as well	BabyBlueSusie	Female	Albania	2007-07-31 15:53:00
