Sorry to hear that Keith will not be joining you as soon as he gets the visa.
Honourable he may be, but at the moment that doesn't ease your hurt.

Perhaps his parents will tell him to pay them the money back over a longer timeframe so he can get on a plane and be with you...heres hoping for you.

As for xmas without him, no consolation but if xmas 2008 is apart at least you have every other year after covered by being together as man & wife.

Sucks with his ex-wife being there at xmas when you can't but she is an ex for a reason and you are his future.

Keep your chin up, things have a way of sorting themselves out.

Ahoy...

Sorry I went MIA a couple days again. I had a really bad couple of days. Andy didn't get the job, and my internship is... a nightmare. I spent ages designing the layout of this magazine issue, and in 2 days the editors (with zero design training) played designer and mutilated my work. Now they want me to keep half the garbage and clean up the rest of the mess by Monday! I want to tell them where they can go... but waiting on my advisor to respond to my email first. UGH

Glad Igor's is fixed. We're #49 atm. I guess we should get NOA2 any day now. That would be some welcome good news.

Good luck to everyone - I hope we all have our approvals before month's end.


Really sorry that Andy didn't get the job. They obviously didn't know a good thing when it sat in front of them!
Lets hope you get the NOA2 soon.

Our petition was approved on Nov. 12, 2008. Although the petition was filed on June 25, it was not received by CSC till July 8 and the NOA1 was issued on July 23. That's why we consider ourselves as July filers. Anyhow, good luck to everybody in the waiting room. star_smile.gif star_smile.gif

I've deliberated about what notice i will give to work, i am meant to give 4weeks notice minimum so they can cover my sites.

But if i have an interview in Feb/March and give in my notice based on that i will lose out on our bonus!! If you leave/hand in your notice before Feb (end) you get nada even though bonus is based on 2008 figures! If it was only a piddly bonus i wouldn't stress to much but its over $6000 which will come in very handy!!

Sooooo I may not give any notice devil.gif Waiting a further 4weeks will be a killer, i may give them 2weeks notice...out of the goodness of my heart jest.gif




I was going to ask this myself..WHY would you all even care how much notice you give?? YOU are moving to america and I doubt the employer here will be calling long distance to your job to check your references LOL...
I can see a week or two but 4 weeks??
Go be with your sweeties folks..you waited a LONG time for it!!!


HUGS ALL!


I was being quite liberal...my main idea is to call them from Heathrow to say sorry i wasn't going back!! whistling.gif

They've already done employer references for me, so as long as I go after we've been paid!! Luckily we dont work a month in hand!

WOW it looks gorgeous guys !!

What date have you booked/ or do you have in mind?

We haven't booked anything, we're going to wait until he's officially booked his flight here to make any kind of definitive plans. The great thing about this is we can be really flexible since there aren't any guests. We'll wait and see when he's here, and then see when the master suite + the photographer we want are available and just go! We're hoping it'll be in March or April and luckily those are still considered the off-season and most photographers we've called are totally open. Same with the honeymoon cabin, it's only booked for one weekend in March so we have tons of wiggle room. Did you guys set a date yet? I'm still very jealous of your beach wedding!

Also, congrats crs! Our NOA1 dates are pretty close and...wow...I'd be freaking out if we got it this soon. I don't have nearly enough stuff together.


Wow, that place looks fantastic.

We're planning on getting married on Myrtle Beach as this is where we eventually met face to face.

The reception has space for 21st March and have a Rev. on standby. But i'm getting twitchy that if we book it and pay $700 deposit the visa won't be through in time!
Most the family from my side are geared up to travel from UK, NZ & Saudi. Although Rob's family are saying they won't travel 1-1.5hr down the road as they think we should have a traditional catholic ceremony! huh.gif

Like the idea of eloping and having a re-newing of vows in a few years and get all the family over. Rob has never been married so alot of the planning has been based around what he wants...so i will defer to my better half!! wink.gif

If you pay attention to the stats page too (CSC stats), you'll notice the number of approvals in past weeks continues to rise. In other words, people are just slow pokes at updating their timelines to show their NOA2's. When they do, it will take them off of Igor's list. And it will change the approximated timeline you're given.

My advice is just to use those tools as a general gauge of movement rather than for specifics. The timelines jump around daily sometimes, and your number on Igor's really doesn't reflect too much since people get approved while at all different places on the list.

On other topics --
I hope everyone has a happy halloween. Mine's going to be B-O-R-I-N-G. *sigh*

Is anyone else stuck by themselves for the upcoming holidays? My SO and I can't afford another flight, nor can I afford one to visit my family. Just wondering who else is in this sinking boat with me.


I'm in the same boat...paddle quicker! lol

At least we're almost in November,could do with some NOA2's to start flowing!

my whole life is paranoia lol...when is this madness doing to stop??? lol...sooo if u are correct then 30 more days until my approval! lol...and if u are not right...OFF WITH YOUR HEAD...jk

Oh tell me about RFE's .... we found out today that the attorney we used listed Shan's mom (my co-sponsor) as my fiancee on the application DOH!!
roll on the RFE !! GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR crying.gif



How many ways have you thought about getting even with the attorney??lol devil.gif
Contact VSC as soon as to get it rectified, it may stop a RFE in it's tracks...here's hoping for you!

Good luck




OK I have an evil plan hatching to get even with the attorney I could tell you but then.......... whistling.gif innocent.gif

The other half is gonna speak to UCSIS asap and see what they suggest... everything on the NOA1 is correct just on the I-134 they have Shans mom as my fiance (they missed out mother!)
Fingers crossed we can just send in an amendment sheet with the correction on it and not have to fart about getting a new I-134 but if needs must......


The attorney already sent in the I-134? I didn't think you needed that until you went to your interview....so maybe you will just have to fill out a new one and take it to the interview. Hope it is that easy.


Yeah we have a new I-134 with the correct details on we were just worried that we may have gotten an RFE as it appeared Shan's mom was gonna marry me as well!!! wacko.gif

All sorted after 45 minutes on the phone with a top guy named Joshua at USCIS customer services he has made a service request for the info to be amended so were good to go!

Now as for the attorney............. devil.gif


Glad you got it all ironed out!

Now as for Shannon's Mum also marrying you...think that may be acceptable in the deep south whistling.gif

many thanks and fingers crossed for a productive week!!

Hey Nick

I printed off the document checklist (IV-15) and it seems that for interview you will need originals from USC of the following:

Birth cert
Adoption cert
marriage cert
divorce cert
affidavit of support, inc pay slips & tax returns
**copies of cert's would have been sent with original I129-F**
an updated letter of intent.

Welcome!! smile.gif One thing that i have noticed on this thread, is that most of us seem to have NOA1's dated between 23rd - 31st July (at both service centres) So i wonder if we all have our files stacked on the same pile as each other? Of course, it's hard to believe there is such a thing as a pile, the way the forms are processed out of order whistling.gif But anyways, not sure if they just send out NOA1's in bulk once a month or if daily but is interesting to see that most of us are within a week with our NOA1.

(I know that was a bit of trivial information but it's the weekend, it is raining outside and am trying to keep myself occupied. ok back to routine again . ClockWatch2.gif


We're in good company...in the same stack...somewhere yes.gif


Just dont fart on me if I am in that stack ROFL!!!


LMAO. That so cheered me up, tried to tell Rob but was laughing way too much!

I found what he was talking about for anyone who is interested. Apparently the list of people who can endorse the application and prove their identity is found on the application itself:

I had a work colleague sign off on mine who was not in any of the professions listed...i just called ACPO to check that it was OK before hand.

Does anyone know what immunizations you need? (that can be done in advance)


Annax

This is taken from the Sydney US Consulate (immigration visa)
'Please first check with the panel physician as to which vaccinations, according to your age group, you are required to have'
The information is on form DS-3025...but for some reason it isn't downloadable from that site!

Perhaps the answer can be found in the Australian forum on here?!

Good luck with getting your information.

OMG I drew a BLANK on what we needed!!
okay he is updating his immunizations
Bank statements
Work info and letter from boss
Irs papers
letter from IRS
the letter of intent
paystubs
letters from family (cant hurt to have them do this for us..they offered WOO HOO)
copies of Yahoo messenger calls and chats plus emails and mail

umm passport photos
appt letter

omh helpppp what else lol


Cham

You'll drive yourself nuts girl!! lol.

London Embassy ask for:
Birth Certficates
Adoption Cert
Proof of name change if applicable
Passport
Marriage cert & termination of prior marriages
Military records
Affidavit of support, including pay slips, IRS info, employer letter.
police cert
photographs x2 (+1 for medical)
vaccination records & medical info
copy of original I129F application, with original birth cert etc
Letter of intent
proof of ongoing relationship

PLUS with packet 3 you get forms DS230-I, DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157 (males aged 16-45 only) & DS-2000, these need to be returned to the Embassy.
Unsure if all the forms only pertain to London Embassy.

There's probably something I missed from the above which will result in me flapping around like a loon!! hehe

You can stay here, Rob & Dawn smile.gif. I'm in the same boat as you and I mainly stay in this thread because these are the people I filed with and impatiently waited to get my NOA1 with.

Do you guys all have your police reports? Sebastian is not being very timely with this and I'm worried about how long it will take. He needs one from the UK AND one from Australia since he spent a gap year there. Ugh.


Thanks for making me welcome in this thread, guess i'll be staying! biggrin.gif

My police report from the UK only took 9days to get back!

Just wish the military records were a bit quicker, taking about 4-6weeks to get, but they can't tell you if they've received the request! Just keep my fingers crossed.

The only holiday Kai got to spend with me was valentines and Easter. I wanted him home for Christmas and I know that wont happen LOL I know he will be here between Jan and Feb (maybe march)
I have decided to save ALL his presents and KEEP the tree up UNTIL he gets home. My whole family giggled BUT we have planned a Christmas party for the next day of his arrival. The first night he is back I am taking him to a hotel!!
THEN the next day make that 2 hour drive home where they will say SURPRISE LOL
we have all the holidays he missed with us wrapped into one day.


I hope he likes it

Does anyone know if the adjudication dates are based around timelines that get filled in on here?

Ours has gone back 2weeks...i know its only 2weeks but darn!
Think the chances of having visa in hand in 2008 have diminished!
07/15/2008 I-129f sent to VSC
07/19/2008 I-129f received at VSC
08/06/2008 NOA1 dated


THIS is based on other VJ timelines and an estimate. Being that you sent out your I-129f on the 15 and it was stamped on Aug 6th. I would not expect Oct or november (you are not a july filer you are actually August, even though you mailed it OFF in july your NOA1 is dated for august)

I looked at last years AUgust filers and the beginning of august was not until the MIDDLE Of Deceber. SO I would NOT get excited about what your time line ays. IT could be the time line time it could be a little early OR it could be a month later. ( it has been known to that.)

The best advice is BE PATIENT and expect around feb or march for your sweetie to be home

I know we all want our babies home..SOON ALL SOON. I been praying HARD for us!

HUGS HUGS HUGS!

Awww that is soo lovely Cham! What a wonderful idea!! Something you will both remember forever!
I have mainly spent 4th July's with my SO, so am really looking forward to our first Christmas together (hoping it will be 2009 one! wink.gif )


Rob&Dawn: As Cham said the vj timelines are just estimates. Sometimes I think that the process at both service centres have no rhyme or reason. Some people get approved after 4 months, while other can wait 6 months and even longer.

sorry that there are no firm dates anyone can give you for your approval. But it does seem that generally, forms filed at vermont centre usually are processed quicker than csc.

Hang in there! it won't be long until you are together again! rose.gif


Thanks for the words of encouragement, ever the optimist wanting a 2008 approval! wink.gif Just disappointing when you see people with NOA1's after us getting there NOA2's already!

I thought i was a July filer based on when we sent our I129F...guess i'll attach myself to the August filers!

Good luck to you all, hope you get approvals soon...then i know ours is following!

Wow, what a bunch of babies. I have never seen a group of "grown ups" who feel they have a right to citizenship in another country complain about that country so much. I've been waiting a long time for my K-1 too and I come to VJ to gain insight into the process and have learned a great deal from those who have been through this and can answer questions. But this thread has degenerated into nothing more than complaining about how terrible the USA is for placing a premium on citizenship in that country. Let me ask you. Once you get to the USA and begin enjoying all the benefits of citizenship there, do you want the USA to hand out visas like candy? Grow up people! Your prospective citizenship in the US is a privilege - it is NOT a right!

Believe it or not, there is a rational justification for the US to make this a little more than a walk in the park. You guys are complaining about 75 days and no touch!! Are you kidding me? The six to eight months that it takes to gain citizenship in the greatest country on earth is a blink of an eye. Stop complaining that your instant gratification appetites aren't being satisfied over night and start appreciating the fact that you have a chance to live in the USA. Personally, I can't wait to get to the US and I miss my fiance very much. But I know I am going to be there soon. But before I get there, I refuse to have a negative attitude about my new homeland. Chill out people! It's 3 more months! You'll survive, trust me.


First of all, this is MY country, and one of the things I appreciate about it is my FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I can say what I wish about my country, and I think I have every right to complain about a broken system.

Second, nobody invited you here to pick on people. We're all here to support each other through a long wait. If you don't like what is being said here, exercise your own right to BUTT OUT.

Third, you should spend more time reading up about this process. K1 has nothing to do with US citizenship. And the long waits have nothing to do with making the process better in any way, shape, or form. The long wait between NOA1 and 2 (approval) is primarily because USCIS doesn't have enough manpower for the job. So, I'm rightfully angry that I'm waiting around while my file is sitting in storage. Don't dare to judge me or my friends here in this thread when you haven't even educated yourself as to what this process is, or bothered to fill in a timeline, or even to read the MANY POSITIVE POSTS IN THIS THREAD.

Finally, if you decide to contribute to this thread, please be respectful of everyone and don't jump to conclusions. We're a supportive group, and everyone has difficult times during our long wait. Some people have been apart a very long time, and it hurts. Be kind, or please don't bother posting here.



Just like your country, my country has freedom of speech as well. So I think I also have every right to express how you people are (i donot want to be speicific). This is not a private site so unless you can kick me out here, that is fine.

I am neither here to pick on anyone. Gee, I have read all your posts non really is significant but patting each other asses (sorry that harsh but saying "F" online is harsher" ). Its pathetic how you can understand each other's complains but not what the government is trying to do to protect the US citizens from people who are doing this for fraud.

I understand how this process works and I understand that k-1 is non-immigrant visa. Anywez you people just misunderstood what I was trying to point out earlier. So be my guest in pissing yourselves off. Sorry to pissed everyone here. I came on the wrong thread. Okay this would be the last post.


#######!
I don't think I misunderstood the original message I heard it loud and clear...total ####### though!

Lets hope he eventually gets his head out of his #######!

Well idle fingers and all that...got alot of organising done on the wedding!! hehe, really couldn't help myself!!
think we're going to confirm the wedding date for 21st March.
If we're lucky enough to be approved in December going to do a civil ceremony to satisfy immigration.

Has anyone else given into temptation and started seriously planning the wedding?
