Middle East and North AfricaDealing with SO's opinions about future children

All your objectiveness will never erase the cultural reality or double standards that are held within this particular community. They highly value female virginity and integrity. Boys can do what they want and girls can't.

All this (to me at least) is so sick and twistminded sad.gif Boys can go around the neighbourhood and rape anyone they wish without ever being blamed for it or judged or accused or sent to prison sad.gif Instead, "people" grab the victim girl, throw stones at her, sentence her to death or whatever. How about beating all the sick boys to death so someone realizes they are the attackers and the bad ones? These issues seriously makes me sick. No offence to anyone but I just wouldn´t be able to love someone who is willing to beat his sister up, break her nose and leave her bleeding, blue and purple or whatever. I couldn´t even ever respect such a person. These things are so wrong sad.gif Just my opinion.

hey all,
another problem...our I-129F got approved and we got approval notice NOA2 in mail today.
However, we want to persue CR1 root. What do we need to do further?! do we need to contact USCIS to terminate it or they will do it themselves or we can just leave it to time and can pursue both path at the same time?

thanking you all in advance,
pari

QUOTE (badspellor @ Apr 27 2008, 08:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Perhaps calling it "fake" was a poor choice of words. It's no more fake than printing out your own forms off the internet rather than waiting for the NVC or whomever to send them to you (who often send out expired forms even!). If you'd just rather wait for everything to be mailed to you and fill it out when it comes, I'll have a drink for you as you're a much more patient person than I!

In that case don´t call it faking tongue.gif It´s very different if you fake an NVC letter or if you print out forms from the web tongue.gif You don´t need to have a drink for me smile.gif There are people who filed before we did and are still waiting for their visas and aren´t faking anything smile.gif

QUOTE (badspellor @ Apr 27 2008, 07:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I know the OP didn't ask you about you getting your police certificate. The point was that we don't ALL have to wait for the NVC as you stated in your original reply. Perhaps if you did and had to wait three months after the NVC requests the DS-230, you would have approached things differently. For the record, I don't think what the OP was asking for originally was all that outrageous. Does not everyone using James's Shortcuts do the same thing? Creating official NVC documents that they were going to receive anyway but creating them ahead of time to save time in the mail? I think the alternatives that myself and others have presented to the OP in this thread sure beat waiting it out.

If I had to wait for something only 3 months I´d be happy. There is no way I would start faking something just cuz of only 3 months of wait. I don´t know what James´s shortcut is but I know one thing. The OP got married a couple of months ago. They even already have their NOA2. That´s pretty fast in my eyes. If they wanna fake something that´s their choice. But if they need to ask fake or not to fake, I say not to fake and there is no way anybody can make me advice them to fake something smile.gif

So, you had to present a real original document to your police authority for them to release a police certificate? I only had to to go the local police station and ask for one and they mailed it to me a week later, so we don't ALL have to wait for NVC to send anything to get a police certificate. Once the online payment system becomes the official method of choice, the NVC won't even send out anything anymore with regards to the DS-230 since it would all be retrieved online. If the police authority will take a print out from the internet then all the better. Otherwise you'd probably have to make a special request to the NVC to have them send the police authority a letter requesting a police certificate. I think they have to do this in Korea, although I could be wrong...

I didn´t have to show anything except my ID in order to get my police certificate and they gave it to me in a couple of seconds. The OP didn´t ask about me getting my police certificate. The OP said in his/her country the police needs a letter from NVC so that´s what they should present to the police. Not a fake.

You all aren't reading their question!!! In their country apaprently a document FROM the NVC is required in order to even REQUEST a police certificate! They ARE NOT contemplating making a fake police certificate! Please read people! Some countries won't even send police certificates to the person and will only send them direct to the NVC or consulate. If I were the OP, I'd find out exactly what the police authority in the beneficiary's country needs in order to procure a police certificate. Perhaps a print out from the DoS website detailing all the documents needed for standard processing, which shows obtaining a police certificate will suffice. I think it would because with the new online payment system that's what they give you in lieu of a packet. A link where you get a cover sheet as I had posted a sample of before, and then a link showing what documents are required to send. If the police authority requires anything more perhaps it'd be best to call the NVC and tell them that they'll only release that information if the NVC sends them a letter.

I answered the question. He should wait till NVC sends the letter and not fake it.

Well you received your NOA2 less then 3 months after you received your NOA1. So you didn´t have time to freak out maybe? wink.gif


It certainly isn't something to freak out about though. IF you called the USCIS and spoke to someone about your case don't you think they HAVE it? Don't you have a cancelled check? That's how I got the case number way before any NOA1 showed up in my mailbox. All I'm saying is the NOA1 isn't something to freak out about...it's just a receipt. Others haven't received NOA1's and they were just fine. Chill.


Just for the record...I never said I was freaked out..
Ovaltine JenkinsNot TellingCzech Republic2007-09-26 18:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs there anyone who has never received NOA1?
The NOA1 is ONLY a receipt showing you that USCIS has received your package. It is NOT needed at any point in this process. The ONLY thing needed is the NOA2. If you sent it by priority mail and a signature was needed (and if you tracked it) then you'd know it was received. There is no way I would call a congressperson and take up their time to inquire about a receipt. If the OP already knows their case is in the system, then I'm not quite sure what the issue is. One can usually find the case number on the back of the cancelled check providing that's the way payment was made. I just don't get the reason why so many people are freaking out about NOA1s.
