Moning everyone! Another day of hoping and waiting! :-) Wonder how many NOA2s will be sent out from VSC today. Seems like it's been doing better than CSC lately. Least that's what I gathered from reading other threads.



I sure hope so i was so jealous about how fast things go at the CSC blush.gif

Well, have a great day all and I hope we have ton of approvals today. Go VSC gooo!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

I saw another approval that had my same NOA1 date of 4-14. Since I never check the USCIS website I figured I would log in and see if I had any touches. This is what I found:

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On August 18, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.



That's a great news. Congrats!!!

i think they pass over all of the early April filers, I hope I am wrong, but it is good news that some Aprils are getting approvals. Never can figure out how they can go to the middle of a month and leave out so many other. But I am so happy for all that got there noa2, good luck to all others.


Probably some cases just take longer to be approved. i really dont want to believe that they just pass over cases unsure.gif

Could you imagine waiting that long for a medical procedure? OMG, NO...half the people waiting would probably pass away just waiting. God forbid!

If I could just have one year in that place, as a top gun of course...I would just turn it upside down....starting with the oldest files. Team work, one group work on the old files, one group on the new files. You have a goal to reach every day. If you don't reach that goal, you better have alot of complicated cases. You can have overtime if you reach your daily goals. Person with the most cases cleared gets a bonus. If your cases come back because you're messy and did things quickly to get the bonus , I take the bonus out of your paycheck...lol.

Hey all,

Hopefully this will be our last week of waiting, USCIS has till the 21st to deliver us something. I hope it comes soon or i may curl up in a corner and just cry, I am so over this process.

Yesterday was our official 12 months since we originally sent our package away, I was supposed to be here and married, this coming weekend was going to be our wedding.

It all makes me so sad.....


Good God. I'll pray for your approval to be the first one this week.After all this waiting you deserve it the most! I hope this doesn't happen a lot. Good luck and don't lose faith now that you're so close smile.gif

Hmm.. we just realized that if we get our NOA2 in September, and our interview in November (fingers crossed!!), and if she came over here right away, that she wouldn't be able to visit home for Christmas! Anyone else consider that yet? I guess we'll be having her family visit for a few days around the holidays. smile.gif (At least, I certainly HOPE we have that problem and we're not still waiting!!!)




I'm hoping I'll be with my fiancee for Christmas too. I guess we all do... so let's keep our fingers crossed for that happy.gif

That would be the best Christmas ever, I had Christmas with my sweetheart last year in China, then came home to do my taxes and jumped on a plane and went back for a month. I havent't seen her since may 1. April filers are ready for there time in the lime light.



And I've seen my baby only twice for the last year and i haven't seen him since April 1. I'm hoping to have our first Christmas together this year.It would really be the best Christmas ever....Oh please God let it beeee innocent.gif

It's monday again let the checking of status begin now hihihihi I'm hoping that VSC is going to keep up with the good job. Good luck to all of us and have a great Monday everyone happy.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
Hi everyone. I'm new here and I just found out that i can actually visit my fiance in the states. I went through all the posts in the this tread and it was very helpful. It definitely encouraged me to go on and try to visit my baby. I have a few questions thought ... I got really confused about the visa waiver countries and when i checked my home country ( Bulgaria ) was not in the list of the VWCs. So I was wondering if visitors from VWCs do need an issued visa from the american embassy int their countries or they actually go only through officers questions when they get to the POE in the US. Im really confused ... did i got it right that if i have a tourist visa issued from the american embassy in my country i still can be turned down by the officer at the POE. I would like to hear if anybody from a non-visa waiver country have any experience with visiting the US during the K-1 visa process.


thanks in advance blush.gif

QUOTE (Shad and Dani @ Feb 2 2009, 10:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You should be celebrating the fact your I-130 was transferred. It will definately mean a shorter processing time. Your step dad can be the co-sponsor for the support documents. One last note, you can only stay 90 days within a year time period in BG. After that you will have to pay a fine before leaving the country, and I think it's pretty expensive. All the best for you! smile.gif






Well i guess that is great news if the processing time is quicker, but it seems like no1 actually knows for sure!!! and for staying in BG, like i said the counsult at the embassy in sofia just said "o just stay here" and laughed, and i also asked another guy who works in the BG-turkey border, and he said "as long as you guys are married, its no problem!!" and when i checked on websites and asked some other ppl some gave me the same answer that its no problem if married and others said as you have for 90 days, so hopefully if i do have to pay, maybe it wont be too much, but ive already been in BG for a yr on feb 14!!!!! well thanks for your reply and all the best luck for you as well!!!! wink.gif

QUOTE (ao_cons @ Feb 2 2009, 10:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You're a US citizen, rkght?

What's important for the I-130 is to show US domicile, and that the visit/stay in another country is just temporary. Anything to show US domicile will help - like a house in one's name, an active bank account, a car, investments, employment (even over the Internet), etc. You can give your parents' home address as your US domicile. Anyway, you already sent out the I-130.

In our case, we used my mother-in-law's house. We also have our mails sent there. My husband just explained that due to extreme difficulties (him being a disabled veteran and me having a diability too), it's necessary for us to stay together so we can take care of each other. Normally, the US petitioner sends the I-130 from within the US while the beneficiary is in his/her country. But there are cases (like mine and yours) in which they lived together in the foreign coountry and submitted the I-130 from there. Well, in our csae we used the US domicile for return address.

The reason why it's important to show US domicile is that the purpose of the immigrant visa petition is mainly to reunite families in US soil.

If you're a US citizen, you're not obligated to be in the US for any amount of time.

If you don't meet the minimum for support, get a relative to sign on to it. Sorry I can't help there though as we're not done with that yet. I'm not sure either if the woman has to show the same proof of support as a male petitioner.

I'm sure more knowledgeable people will be able to give advice to you here. Good luck!







thanks, and when i sent the i-130 i also sent a copy of my driver's license, so maybe that'll be proof enough of my address?? and all of my mail is to my parents address as well. and when on the i-130 it asked if u lived in another country other than the US i put the address in bg but they sent tthe NOA to my mom's house and she emailed me that so i could see exactly everything.....but hopefully its not a problem!!! thanks much and good luck to you and your spouse!!!! good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresnew to this with I-130 questions
hello to all! im new here and have been browsing this site. i have some questions, but first i will tell you our story.....

im from america and met my husband in april of 2006 while he was on a work visa. we dated the whole time he was in america, his visa was expired in october 2006 so he had to return to bulgaria.... and he offered me to go with him. so october 31 2006-nov 14 2006 i was in bulgaria. i returned home and waited until march 2 2007 for him to return on another work visa... in april 2007 we moved in together with a roommate (my 1st apartment) and again in oct his visa was expired.... so i moved back with my parents (the apartments were being rebuilt anyway so i had to move) and again i went to bulgaria with him in oct 2007. in nov 2007 we went to england to visit his brother for a while and in feb 2008 returned to bulgaria. in april of 2008 me and my now husband went to the US embassy in sofia so i could get a paper saying i "can marry a bulgarian in bulgaria". the consulte there asked me if i had any questions and i asked her while i was waiting on my I-130 to be processed what to do, because i didnt want to go home without him, and all she said was "o just stay here!!" and kinda laughed...anyway on october 15, 2008 we were married, we sent our I-130 to vermont in nov 2008. and now just waiting....and in jan i found out my I-130 was transffered to california....

my question is since ive been out of the states for more than a yr will this hurt our visa application? because i dont want to jepordize our application, but at the same time i dont want to go home without him.....

also for the next form that ill need to fill out for the affidate of support i know that since im not working that it will be denied, so i can i just fill out the other form with my step-dad first wihout sending the 1st one and then it being deined? beacuse when we go to the states we'll be living with my parents for a while. they just bought another house this past summer so they said we can rent the old house while they move into the new one...

any advice and gudiance through this would be much much help!! thanks in advance!!!!

hello all, i have a question about the interview....

my husband came to the states on a J1 visa (which i dont think u are allowed to change jobs). this was the 2nd time he was in the states on this type of work visa. he quit the job that had sponsored this visa and started another one....and left before the visa expired.... but my question is if at the interview they ask what kind of work he had and he tells them he worked for another job than the one the visa was for, will this be a problem, do u guys think the immigrant visa will be denied?? huh.gif

any advices and opinions r welcome, thanks in advance!!
