Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)New Islamabad AP-Tracker, Part II

I have read your whole post Waleed and i hope you get your visa soon as AP is finished but sometimes AP takes such a long time that people have to bring new medical or even valid passports after expiry. If AP is completed before March even then they might ask for new medical reports they might not issue visa on 1 month validity of medical.

Any visa issuance in your case will have expiry date limited to March 11, 2014.

 

If they are ready to issue you a visa before March 11, 2014, they will ask you if you want to have the visa's expiry date extended to cover the entire 6 months that an immigrant visa is valid for, if you do then you will have to submit a new medical.

 

If, however, you are unfortunately still in AP as of March 11, 2014 then they will ask you for a new medical in all circumstances. But what we don't know is whether they will ask for it right away for ask for it when the AP is over.

 

Sometimes they don't want to do AP on a person if they are not medically fit for US immigration, therefore they ask for the new medicals whenever the old ones expire. Sometimes they continue the AP and ask for the medical when the visa is ready to be issued.

 

PS: Our medicals expire in March too. But haven't been asked for a new medical yet.

 

Waleed you might get a call for a new medical if your case is still in AP. Visa validity with six months is with medical validity of six months.

USCIS Service CentersTexas Center has the posted date as February 2nd for almost two months!

The date hasn't stayed at Feb2nd for two months.  Where did you get that info from?  Just wanted to add that in September the date changed from Dec 31st to Feb 2nd.  Go to Processing Times at the top of the VisaJourney webiste, look at the Alila Repored Processing Times/USCIS Service Centers, and choose TSC.  It will give you a list of the previous reported processing dates.

I'm in the same boat. NOA1 Feb 10th.   This is really F'in things up.  Every time I call, it's the same response "We process in the order received".  BS..  Igors list, VJ shows otherwise.

Feb 2nd is what's posted on the USCIS.gov website.  That's what they go by..  Horrible.  I'm Feb 10th NOA1, and see others that have filed after us, same country, same service center, getting approval before us.

I'm there too.  We have NOA1 on Feb 10th 2014.  USCIS is showing Feb 2nd processing date.  I contacted my Senator and was told the USCIS works on cases in the order received.   LOL!!!  ####### ever..  I look on Igors list and at the same country, Russia, and some have already been approved before us with an NOA1 date that was later.  

Getting very frustrated with the US immigration system.  It's flawed everywhere for those that try and go through the process legally.  All we can do at this point is wait until the posted processing date is past your NOA1, and then can expedite to Sentors and the USCIS.

This doesn't apply to the OP.

He is at VSC, like me. But VSC is approving I-129f petitions faster than I-130 applications sent at the same time.

For example: I filed June 7, 2012. I'm still not approved. He filed August 12, 2012. Though, many July I-129f petitions have been approved. He might actually be adjudicated before me, though depending on whether or not VSC speeds up or slows down on I-130 apps.


I see. Thanks for the clarification. I wish you speedy approvals so you can be with your SO :)

OP, according to your timeline, your projected adjudication date is between February 16, 2013 and February 21, 2013.

As for everyone telling him he has to meet his fiancé: I agree that most cases require you to do so, however, mentioned in the I-129 instructional PDF, it can be overlooked if it goes against one's religious/cultural norms. I'm just saying he might be eligible to file and is not necessarily facing a denial just because he hasn't met.

Cheers!

You indicated that you could not add your wife to your health insurance policy. Was this because too much time had elapsed between your wedding and the date on which you tried to add her? Most employers' plans allow for a 30 day period after a life-changing event to report the change; 45 days to provide proof of the change)? Was she denied for lack of an SSN? Insurance plans often ask for this, but it is not absolutely required; I got my wife and son added to my plan prior to them receiving their SSNs. There are usually appeal procedures in place. You may want to see if such procedures are in place with your employer and/or their plan.

Take care and may God bless you both!

IMBRA Special TopicsWhat are the chances...met on Filipina Heart and have 2 convictions?

If I give the USCIS information regarding my 2 alcohol related convictions(court records, police records), do you really think that I would get an unwarrented denial even though they are going to find out anyhow?! Did you check "yes" for IMBRA in regards to filipinaheart.com? These are my concerns.


I am replying to the IMBRA part of the discussion as opposed to the convictions part of the discussion. On my I-129F, I decided to not take any chances. The site, while saying that its goal is to bring Filipino men and Filipino women together also makes reference to "others" who are interested in a relationship with a Filipino. Interestingly, the languages available on the the site are English, French, German, Norwegian, and Japanese. Now, I know that Filipinos do get taught English, but if the main goal was to introduce Filipinos to each other I would expect to see choices for Tagalog and/or another major language such as Cebuano. So, it looks like it is in the business of facilitating international matches. In regard to fees, it is true that membership is free. However, a number of services are only available for paying customers. I noted in the answer to Question 19 that they do not request background information from potential members. If you decide to say that Filipina Heart is an IMB, then take a look for the two "companies" with which it is associated: Ecom Holdings Pty. Ltd. and Cupid Media Pty. Ltd., both of which operate out of the same office in Queensland, Australia.

Take care and have a great evening!
