I'm actually having a big party and decided to invite people I haven't seen in years. It's a good way to reconnect I think. They were all part of my life at some point and I love what each one of them represents...
That's just me though... I have a cousin that feels the same way you feel about that kinda stuff. :P

Que bom Laura!!!!!!! Ótimos presentes :dance:
Sempre foi meu sonho ter uma cama daquelas.... a nossa é normal mesmo, tipo cama box.
Mesmo tendo espaço limitado nas malas, vou fazer um chá de panela aqui... levo comigo algumas coisas e minha família manda o resto. Acho que vou ganhar um conjunto de panelas, aparelho de jantar, algumas coisas de cama e toalhas.
É tão chato não poder ser "normal" e ganhar um montão de presentes! :P

Yeah I'm pretty sure Laura agrees with me... it really doesn't matter it's a rental. It's even more special to think everything we'll have someday will be built from scratch by both of us together. :P
It was just funny for some reason... hehe

Isn't it an amazing feeling? I mean, we're both leaving our parent's house and moving into our own house! Yay!

hehe Yeah it's an amazing feeling!! David and I lived together before, but never in our own house, by ourselves. But that is gonna be just ours you know... my living room, my bedroom, my house. I love the idea of him coming home from work everyday and actually having our home to come back to. It's the first big step or symbol towards forming our family and our life together, and it means the world to me. :P
It's hard to explain, but I'm sure you understand it! :luv:

Laura, you probably feel just like I do right now.... like your first house with the love of your life! It's very exciting and romantic in a way! :luv:

I tell him we're grown ups now... hehe...

Laura, conversei com minha amiga hoje e expliquei a situação todinha. Ela me disse que seu nome só consta no sistema da airline estrangeira por enquanto. Uns dias antes da viagem, eles passam a lista de nomes pra Gol, porque é assim que codeshare funciona. Ela também me disse que você deve receber uma confirmação de que seu nome consta nessa lista, e que se não receber nada de uma das airlines, pode ir direto ao balcão da Gol umas horas antes do vôo e lá eles vão saber que você estará voando com eles. De acordo com ela, somente a Gol tem codeshare com a outra airline nesse trecho da sua viagem.... então não tem erro.
Espero que eu tenha ajudado! Se você precisar de mais qualquer coisa ou se eu esqueci de mencionar alguma coisa tbm, me fala!! :thumbs:

I used to speak Spanish fluently... but after I learned English I just forgot how to speak Spanish. I guess it's not like riding a bike :P
Here's some information on Catalan:

Catalan IPA: is a Romance language, the national language of Andorra and co-official in the Spanish autonomous communities of Balearic Islands, Valencia (under the name Valencian) and Catalonia. Spain has the majority of active Catalan speakers. It is spoken or understood by as many as 12 million people who live not only in Andorra and Spain, but also in parts of southwestern France (most of Pyrénées Orientales) and in the city of Alghero in Sardinia, Italy.

It shares many features with both Spanish and French, and is the language nearest to Occitan. Indeed, when comparing the modern descendants of Latin, Catalan is often thought of as a transitory language between the Iberian Romance languages (such as Spanish) and Gallo-Romance languages (such as French), though this characterization is not strictly accurate.
http://en.wikipedia....atalan_language

And on Portuguese

In spite of the obvious lexical and grammatical similarities between Portuguese and other Romance languages outside the West Iberian branch, it is not mutually intelligible with them to any practical extent. Portuguese speakers will usually need some formal study of basic grammar and vocabulary, before being able to understand even the simplest sentences in those languages (and vice-versa):

Ela fecha sempre a janela antes de jantar. (Portuguese)
Ela fecha sempre a fiestra antes de cear. (Galician)
Ella cierra siempre la ventana antes de cenar. (Spanish)
Ella tanca sempre la finestra abans de sopar. (Catalan)
Lei chiude sempre la finestra prima di cenare. (Italian)
Ea închide întotdeauna fereastra înainte de a cina. (Romanian)
Elle ferme toujours la fenêtre avant de dîner/souper. (French)
She always shuts the window before dining.

Gallego is so not a dialect of Spanish. It's clearly a dialect of Portuguese.

and i thought it was a wine maker :crying:

So did I!!! :lol:

Catalan is more similar to Spanish than Italian is, but less similar than Portuguese is. (89% similarity with Portuguese, 85% with Catalan, and 82% with Italian.)

And if Spanish sounds like Portuguese, I don't know what language I've been speaking for the last 21 years... 'cause it sounds nothing like Spanish:unsure: It's just like saying that Japanese and Chinese are alike. It might sound like it to us, but it's not true.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Does everyone feel this way??

i think he meant infidel. i like it too. why didnt i think of it lol

by the way, i know its too late now but, why didnt you consider direct consular filling? if he lived in brasil more than 12 months , i think you could do that. but i guess you were also misinformed like my wife and i. we filed the i129f k3 visa petition 5 months late, because we were told it was for fiances only by the town hall marriage consular and the immigration.

my wifes brother got married in japan it took his wife about 40 days to get her cr-1, the enbassy in japan didnt require 12 months stay for the american citizen.

DCF was unfortunately wasnt offered for Ankara. they said they abondened it 3 years ago. now the american citizen must live 12 months in turkey to be eligable for dcf.

maybe there is still a way for you to do DCF since he lived in brazil for 2 years and its still recent.

He wasn't a resident here, he had a tourist status and I don't think it's possible to go the DCF route that way. Also, he couldn't work here and money was tight... it didn't feel right having to ask for help from our families all the time. They gave us everything for two years.... it was time to do the right thing. :yes:

Now I only have to wait for NVC to send the case to the embassy and then for them to give me an interview date. I hope it doesn't take too long!

Thank you.... it is frustrating to spend 6 months waiting to be approved so things will move faster, just to get the NOA2 and realize NVC is getting slower. :P
I can't complain so much... it's only been 16 days for me. I guess I'm just very scared I'll have to wait a lot longer. :wacko: I hope not!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)From CSC to NVC

I know it is very hard waiting for the next step in this long and stressful process. But there is nothing we can do to expedite. Calling USCIS will only generate more frustration because they will give standard replies. Since a load of K1 cases were approved in the first week of Sept. at CSC. They will all be shipped to NVC in batches. It is possible that our files have already arrived at NVC, but not appearing in their computer system because of the backlog.

I am in the same boat as yours. I am also very anxious. Actually I can hardly get sound sleep. I amtrying to divert my mind to other things....in vain so far.

I know.... I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping! I need to relax.... hehe
Everything you said there makes sense and I agree with you, but it's hard to relax when I know that Christmas is coming and one week could make a HUGE difference.
Good luck to us!! :thumbs:

National Visa Center (Dept of State)From CSC to NVC


How can we possibly contact them to know why the he*l they're not sending out petitions to the NVC?
The CSC doesn't reply to emails anymore... so I guess we can call them and ask. Well I can't, because I'm not the USC.
The last VJ case NVC received from CSC was approved on Sep 1st, but there are a lot of cases that were approved before that and are still stuck there.
Like we didn't have to wait enough to get our approvals....



have the US Citizen petitioner call and email NVC.

You probably meant USCIS, right? Because the NVC I can call and email myself.... and trust me I do it often!
As I've said it before, the problem (or my problem) is not NVC... the problem is that CSC is holding our petitions there for a long time instead of sending them out!
And yeah I'll have him call the USCIS (they don't reply to emails anymore)!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)From CSC to NVC

Our case was NOA2 on Aug 30 and was just sent to Consulate this Monday. I called NVC 1 time a week to check the status. The NVC is fairly easy to call and you are not on hold very long.

The NVC tends to vary in time doing a background check.

I would give them a call 1 or 2 times a week, they will either say "Administrative Review" or Has been sent on.

Don't feel too upset, In my case the petition will arrive in China and be held up at customs clearance for 1-2 months before even reaches the consulate.

I'm not upset yet, just anxious! And I'm not complaining about how long it takes NVC to do their service... I'm complaining about CSC not sending our cases to NVC. These are two different things :thumbs:
I know it's easy to call the NVC and I'm doing it often... but it annoys me to know that we're all stuck at the Service Center, that's all. :star:
I thought having my NOA2 meant not having to rely on USCIS... but as we can all see, that's not the case so much anymore.
Anyway.... it's only been 2 weeks... I'll wait to b*tch more if they haven't received my case in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that'll not be the case!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)help.. nvs questions
As Mew said, at the NVC they'll assign a case number, run security checks and then send your case to the Consulate in Russia.
That Consulate will send your fiance a Packet 3. You won't get any Packet but you'll have to work on the Affidavit of Support that you'll send your fiance so she can take with her to the interview.
Check the link Mew gave you and you'll have better answers there! Good Luck!! :thumbs:

National Visa Center (Dept of State)emailing NVC instead of calling

I was told to wait two weeks after my approval before contacting NVC. We held out for 11 days and then called and found out our petition was being sent to Montreal that day. It usually takes a bit for petitions to get to NVC, it isn't an instant thing.

Best wishes for all those waiting :)

Yeah... the only problem is that it really seems CSC has stopped sending cases to NVC for awhile. It was going kinda fast in August... but September it turning out to be a very slow month.

Check your USCIS account and see if you had a touch after your approval date. Normally that indicates that it has been sent by the Service Center. Once you see that it is at the NVC, it just means that they haven't entered it in the system. I was approved on August 31st, had a touch on September 2nd and received the same response you did until it was entered into the NVC system on September 14th. Try giving them a call and see if it hasn't been entered yet. Good luck!

Yeah I call them every other day.... still nothing ;)
