You can write to USCIS about yoru wife's pregnancy. You never know, they may approve your petition soon.

Seriously? Where would I send a letter?
Do you mean to my congressman?

I-130 Filers in Nov-Dec 2007, Still Waiting...

QUOTE (lotofpatience @ Mar 24 2008, 11:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Any Nov/Dec 2007 I-130 approvals from Vermont Service Center ???

USCIS needs to be outsourced... Also, need to terminate all the USCIS customer service representatives. Government is unnecessarily paying to these dumb people. They know only how to read the USCIS computer screen and vomit the same. I don't know what's their actual duty ?

After cutting down those jobs, recruit the real officers who actually do the application processing. Some of the customer reps even do not know how to behave to the customers...

December filer. So far just the NOA1.
Hope I get an approval letter soon. Man that would be amazing.

I concur with what others have said. If you are within the normal limits and there are no complications, then they are not going to help. If you have any concerns about your wife's conditions though, that would be important to note.

I just received the letter back from my congressman's office with a letter from the VSC with the approval after he contacted them. They did intervene on my behalf and I am very thankful. Life has its events that cause one to suffer, but suffering with the involuntary separation of one's family is inhumane.

I wish you the best, I know it is hard.

Yeah, I really didnt expect anything to happen but thought I would try just to see if I got lucky.
I'm glad to hear you got approved! One step closer huh?
Congrats.

So frustrated with all this sh!t.
Probably doesnt help that I live in Texas where there is a large number of Mexicans trying to immigrate here.
I'm sure he sees letters like mine every day.

To be honest I'm not really pissed about him not doing anything. I expected as much.

I thought getting everything ready for the I-130 was a lot of work. The more I read it seems like the NVC part of the process is the most complex..

Just out of interest where do you all get the 2-3 months vacation time from? My husband works and has 14 day vacation time. Not a chance that he can ever visit for longer than that

My boss loves me.
seriously though. I first went to her telling her I needed to put in my notice because I wanted to go be with my wife.
She didnt want to lose me so she went and talked to her boss and got my time off approved by her manager.

QUOTE (GMI @ Apr 4 2008, 07:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well my fellow VJ friends, some good news and some continued bad news.

The Continued Bad News First - the petition that I mailed to the USCIS - Vermont Service Center On Sept 10, 2007 and received by VSC on Sept 12, 2007 and receipted by Chicago on Dec 28, 2007 and finally came online Feb 24, 2008 has yet to be touched or approved. This deserves a sad & mad face.

No?

Now the Good News - I travel to Damascus Syria this Sunday to see my wife who is 7 months pregnant. This deserves a smiley face

. Hi Baby ! Daddy's coming home.

I will be spending 3 months in Syria and will not be spending that much time surfing the internet or the VJ boards. Rather I will be making up for time missed with my wife and also absorbing the aurora of Damascus. Fortunately being Eastern Orthodox, we will be able to celebrate Holy Week and Easter together at the Holy Cross Church in Damascus. Eastern Easter this year is celebrated April 27 - Rejoice! For Christ is Risen.

I wish and hope all of our petitions get approved soon and we can get on with our lives. Not long ago someone on this board said our Spouses are our favorite persons in this world. How true…

The USCIS is a huge disappointment and in a sorry state of poor planning and utter chaos. They have no justification in continuing to chime in about how busy they are and how inundated they are with petitions. Yes we understood in the beginning that our timing was bad, however we should be seeing more and more approvals at this time. Especially those of us who submitted in August, September and October.

I may not be able to update my profile when my petition does get approved. But I will be try my best, so we can continue to benchmark the timing of our approvals.

Good Luck To All Of You.

This is ridiculous. I am kind of in the same boat as you. My wife is also pregnant. She isnt as far along as yours. She is only 21 weeks now. Still things would be a lot better if she was able to live here with me and we could have the baby in America.

Anyway, I went and spent two months with my wife recently. It was wonderful. I hope you have a great visit with your wife too.
Take care!

Yes, They asked her how long she is staying and who she is visiting.
She was 100% honest about everything.
They said "why do you live in Japan and your husband here"
She said "because we are waiting on the Visa"

She said the lady just handed her passport back to her and said "enjoy your visit"

Amastar,
obviously you have done lots of homework regarding this issue (visiting US during I-130 petition). Do you think, or have you heard, that there would be any negative effect of such visit at the consulate interview? would the interviewing officer give your wife a hard time for making such visit?

I've never heard of that happening. The main thing I was worried about was how it would look if she got denied entry.
I think though as long as she can show on her passport that she left before her 90 days was up and didnt overstay I dont think there is anything to worry about.
Cause technically there isnt any law against people coming to visit while waiting for a visa. Its all up to the Immigration officer at the POE.
If he thinks she is a risk to immigrate illegally then he wont let her in.

But then again Ive heard this over and over again but Ive never read about an actual IO not letting someone in.
Im sure it happens but I just havent seen it happen.
Im not sure why lawyers and other people scare us like they do.

I dont know if I answered your question or not. I hope I helped.

Your wife is already an extreme case (pregnant and without job at Japan) and she still got in okay. Maybe I should tell my wife to come for a visit as well...

Me and my wife were saying the same thing.
I dont think Ive ever heard of anyone from Japan getting turned away.
If my wife can get in with a big baby bump I dont know why anyone else would get turned away.

Secondly,
My wife is here with absolutely no problems at all at the POE here in DFW
She says they asked her a couple of questions about who are you here to visit and thats it.
My wife told them right away that we are waiting on the visa. She didnt have to show any paper work or anything!
It took almost an hour and a half from the time the plane landed until she got to me. But it was because there were so
many people and not because she got held up.
I was starting to freak out.

Now she is asleep in my room with her cute little belly!
Im so happy!!

I hope everyone else gets to be with their loved ones soon too.

Oh, I'm soooooo happy!!!! That's brilliant news!!! See .... her pretty face and smile got her through. Please send her our good wishes, and have a wonderful time together ..... I pray you guys get approval while she is there, how cool would that be ?!

hey hey, just out of curiosity, how do you communicate with your wife? in English or Japanese? My wife doesn't speak much of English and my Japanese is below-average. I mean I can get my points across but we seldom can have a fluent conversation...she probably married me because of my hotness..j/k

We use both. Her english isnt really good and my Japanese is just good enough to get by. So there are still alot of times where I have to repeat things or say something in a different way. Sometimes I sound like Yoda talking.
I need to keep learning more Japanese though! I can communicate great with my wife but with her friend or family I struuuuuuggggglllleeee.

That's awesome. I am probably at exactly the same situation as you are. Sometimes I feel a lack of sentence structure and often just use words or phrases. I am a member of the Yoda club too...I wonder if VSC would be susceptible to Jedi mind trick..

Good luck to your immigration process, Amastar ! Yes, she is pretty too

No, Japan is part of the VWP so a visitor visa is not needed.
HOWEVER, she could still get turned away at the POE tomorrow if they thought she was trying to immigrate early. I'm really worried because her belly is getting bigger and I dont know how they will look at that.

Secondly, Can I ask when you actually mailed your I-130?
I mailed my at the end of December but when I look at my NOA1 it says the USCIS received my wives application on February 6th(which is bullsh!t to me because I paid for tracking and they received it two days after I mailed it)

I could not agree more with what Kitty said!!! Ask yourselves this, if they are illegal why would they be slowing down the immigration system, especially for Amastar since his time is not even up!!! yes there is illegals, but illegals from all countries and ethnicities just like Kitty said..And just because a person speaks Spanish doesn’t mean they are from Mexico. I understanding your anxiety about wanting to be with your spouse, but come on think before you speak and write anything down that might offend someone even if in a subtle way.

For the record. I still don't see anything wrong with what I wrote. Never once did I impy that it was MEXICANS that were illegally immigrating.
How many times a day do you read on these forums about people who are frustrated because we are all doing it the right way instead of the people who are doing it illegally and getting to be with their loved ones immediately?
I really think you and Kitty are reading too much into this.
Also, I never said I spoke spanish but half of my family DID come over from Mexico and I was raised in a mexican house hold my entire life.

I think that Nita&Assad made this comment because of Amastar's previous post mentioning Mexicans.. it seems that he blames Mexicans for his delay and inaction from his congressman. He repeatedly says that he is taking the "legal way" that seems to imply that mexicans are all about the "illegal" way. If that is the case, then congressman should have plenty of time to see after amastars requests. We are all here in line waiting for our approvals, and if we feel we must highlight a particular race then we must place more care on our words.

I'm not trying to be rude here but I really have no idea what you are talking about.
When did I "imply that mexicans are all about the illegal way?"

I'm sorry you felt this way. I simply meant that I am sure my senator has a lot of immigration issues to deal with since I believe a lot of Mexican citizens immigrate through Texas and California. I did not mean to insinuate that Mexicans are immigrating illegally so he should look at my case because I'm doing it the right way. I simply meant that I am just trying to follow the rules here to get my wife here as opposed to any nationality who immigrates illegally.

For the record, I am Spanish. I'm not sure if you are trying to insinuate that I'm a racist against latino people or something but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I just wrote another letter to my senator today!
Ill paste it here. I'm not ashamed. Im sick of this bullsh!t
Mr. Cornyn,

On April 4th I sent a fax to your office asking for your assistance with my wife’s pending visa application. In return I got a canned response a few days later. This letter is to let you know that I am VERY unhappy at the service I received from your office and also the fact that I am very sure you did not inquire into my case at all. I mailed my application last year in December and I even paid for tracking so I know the application arrived at the Chicago lockbox three days later. However, the USCIS states that my application wasn’t received until February 6th 2008. Everything I’ve read in your response to me is what I read everyday on USCIS’s website. I know this because I currently frequent immigration websites and forums. I have already heard over and over about how undermanned the USCIS is and the increase in applications. I have done my home work sir. I know you probably get a large number of requests for assistance since we live in Texas and there are probably a large number of Mexican citizens wanting to immigrate to America through Texas.

I need your help. I need to know what is happening with my case. I have signed up on USCIS’s website for updates. I can see when my application has been “touched”. I have read about other people who applied well after me getting approved before me. If the USCIS would process applications in the order they get them then at least it would give people such as my wife and my family a little better idea of when we might be able to be together again.

My wife is now 24 weeks pregnant. Because she lives in Japan and because we are following the rules and not trying to immigrate illegally, I cannot be there to help her. I need my wife here in America with me. I’m sincerely asking for your help and not another pre-typed letter with only your signature.

I apologize for rigorous tone of my letter but I hope you can sympathize with the urgency of this matter and understand my desperation.

I look forward to your response,
Jeff Krause

Now, I know this letter won't do any good. I'll probably just get another letter from one of his assistants or something like that but the thing is, I am not doing anything anyway. Just sitting here and waiting. So what better to do with my time than to bug the ####### outta someone and make them miserable with me.

Lets give them hell guys.

Ok, this is probably a stupid question but I dont think Ive ever gotten a clear answer on this or heard what other people are.

I mailed my wife's I-130 application on December 21st 2008.
I used tracking and saw that my application arrived three days later, 12-24.
I got my NOA1 on 2-13-08
When I read online it says that "On February 6, 2008, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. "

So which is it? Am I a December filer or a freaking Febuary filer?
I think I've read somewhere that USCIS goes by NOA1 thats when they start the 180 days thing.
If that's the case I'm freaking PISSED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hit something.

Is there a date on your NOA1 that says something like "Received date" on the actual receipt? Like mine for example says Received date: January 11, 2008 and in the box below it, it says Notice Date: February 8, 2008. That is the date that my online case says, but on the NOA 1 it clearly states is was received in January. I think you are still a December filer, I would call to make sure.

I dont have my NOA1 with me here. Its at my apartment. Ill check tonight and let you know.

UPDATE: for anyone who cares.(please people who dont have anything positive to say about this topic just dont post)

After another few conversations with congressman's Office, they took my complain(s) and forwarded me to Zoe Lofgraen Office. There I spoke with a knowledgeable guy, we discussed all the problems that is going on. He said they are aware of the problems, and they have tried to change the system so there would be an easier immigration process, but the republicans always vote against it. He said in the long runs, most of republicans don't care if you wait 5 years or 20 years. He also said that there is only one side of the story with immigration. That there is too much illegal immigration and that there is no one to speak on behalf of immigration party. So it gets ignored, thats why its so simple to get here via work visa without any backlog. Thats why there are Priorities and I-130 isn't one of them. People have yet to speak out. Sub Committee cant do anything directly, but there is lot of information out there. 13-15 months of backlogs will never get cleared no matter how many workers they have to "hire" and "train". A normal approval process of I-130 should take about 90 at most, but due to faulty system and absolutely no chance of fixing it it'll only get worse. The guy was right about one thing, ask any kind of blue color American about immigration, what will he say? He'll prolly point out the illegal immigrants first, and thats all there is. Nobody knows about us, and nobody cares until we let them know. He suggested going through press. I might just do that. Pm me with any suggestion as I will contact NY Times on Monday.

I was very confused about this too.
You are right though, you should stick with the CR-1.
The K-3 is taking about the same time as the CR-1 and costs $1000.00 dollars more.
There is a lot of history about why the K-3 used to be the better option but a lot has changed.
In my opinion you should just stick with sending the I-130

I had a quick question,
Do I have to wait for the hard copy of the DS-3032 (Choice of Agent form) to get the IIN?
I called the NVC and I have our case #

I was going to pay online but I dont have the Invoice number.

Amastar and Mrs. Amastar, just want to say the new photo is adorable. It's nice to see baby Amastar is now included too .... I'm so excited for you guys

Thanks Sarah!
I will be sure to post pictures as soon as little Moka Ashley is born.

Anyone have letter to congressman letter examples?

someone posted one once, methinks....

I'm in the mood to do some more worthless wasting of my time, so I suppose I'll give this a shot.

Perhaps send a letter every day, like that inmate in the Shawshank movie asking for old books....

I would recommend it
