but the bad thing is that if they claim not to even have worked on it yet....it takes another 1-2 weeks in the mail sad.gif i dont kno how much we hav to wait

We have to give each other encouragement or else we will all be laying in a crying heap eating icecream and chocolate! Everyone here keeps telling me that maybe it's already in the mail and that they just haven't updated the online status yet (This happens alot). This past week has been really hard for me too, seeing all the approvals and not seeing my own. But we are so close!! We just have to stay postive and it will happen. star_smile.gif I promise! I'm going home now and will check my mail box. I'll report back if anything is there. smile.gif

Yeah well I just saw the "pimp" and I don't think he'd mind the prison system. I know its a stereotypical thing to say, but I'll just say he looks a little light in the loafers if you know what I mean.


I don't get it blink.gif But i hope he goes away for a long time and I hope he is MISERABLE in jail. Was he in handcuffs?

ooohhh...you're one of the lucky 11 that share the NAO1 date of Feb. 23!!! I'm Nora, nice to meet you! I hope we hear something soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



nice to meet u too smile.gif

when you called uscis what did they say?


They read me my status that is online(recieved and pending) and then they told me that sometimes people get approved before other people because of a variety of reasons, I'm still in normal processing time since it hasn't been 6 months, bla bla bla. I also called NVC to see if maybe I had been approved and didn't know it, but no luck. Seeing that there are 11 of us and no one has posted yet that they are approved, I feel much better.

I think so. They have one girl outside talking to her. She is Russian, but I don't know for certain. They asked us if we could translate. I told him how to ask for directions to the bathroom. He was amused. I gave him my Russian-English dictionary. They are talking to her now and she hasn't been handcuffed so I assume the worst. I just can't believ it I share a common wall with them and never heard anything. Apparently like 5 guys have already been there today.


That is just crazy. I'm glad you are there to help with the translations. I am also glad that there is help for the women. I work in social services and people trafficing is so much bigger than most people realize. These girls are brought to USA with promises of jobs and then their passports are taken away and they are told they have to work off their "debt" .

It's such a small world, here you are trying to bring the Russian love of your life here and right next door there is this horrible thing going on with these poor girls!!!



I could have saved a fortune on flights. The girl out front is hot.

That was just a joke. Its actually quite sad. Although I do want my dictionary back and I am leaving in a half hour. This is just crazy.


Damn. And you wouldn't have had to go through this whole immigration process. If you had known, you could have just gone there on your lunch break!! So much more convenient! LOL Just kidding too….

Good luck getting your dictionary back, and TG these women are going to be safe now....Florida is the number 2 state for human trafficking and central FL is one of the hot spots.

I have to completely change the subject. There was a police raid in the office next to mine. Apparently my new neighbors were running a prostitution ring. Ironically the ladies are Russian. The police had to tell us since they had also listed our office on something or other. Crazy times we are living.


Wow, nothing like a little excitement to break up your day!! Do you think the ladies were victimns of trafficing? I hope they are ok....

I hope so, I want to make an appointment for my medical and request the day off work. I told my manager that i will be needing a few days off in July and August for medical and interview, now she is bugging me looking for the exact days.
I think it is silly that we cant get the medical out of the way once the case is approved, my understanding was that the medical is valid for 1 year. i know what doctors facilitate the medical but we have to bring a letter from the embassy with us, is this the same everywhere else??


I read on the Amman Embassy website that the letter is required for Jordan. I agree with you, you should just be able to go get it out of the way. Have you thought about e-mailing the embassy and tell them about your situation and asking them if you could get it done now because of work schedule, bla bla bla.....maybe they could e-mail you something????

Liz its been over at NVC since last Monday. Its only been a little over a week. Throw in the holiday weekend and its not been that long. I am not worried at all. Just a bit anxious is all.

Speaking of beer we are actually getting a keg for the UFC this weekend. Having a big BBQ and drinking and watching people beat each other up. 20-30 drunk guys in a relatively confined area. What could possibly go wrong?


Well, I was approved on June 30, received my hardcopy on Monday, and NVC does not even have it yet sad.gif

When I talked to them yesterday, they said it can take as much as 90 days! I'll call tomorrow - today is meetings *ALL* day...



dave, I am the same as yourself, our timelines are nearly identical. I just called today and they do not have ours. I will check back in tomorro, I got a lovely lady who said just keep calling, it is bound to get her one of the days


Yesterday when I called the lady seemed out of breath and I was on hold for like 13 minutes. I lied and said I had my approval a week ago and she said please be patient with them because it's taking 2-6 weeks for them to get them. I don't believe that. I bet they will get your files this week!

hey guys, quick question. I just called NVC to see if they had received our case. A really nice lady on the phone stated they hadn't. is this normal? approval date was June 30th.


I called yesterday to see if mine was there and i just didn't know it, and they told me it takes 2-6 weeks to arrive. Before that they told me it takes 2 weeks. Plus with the holiday the mail is behind. So I wouldnt worry yet...

WASHINGTON – The powerful attack that overwhelmed computers at U.S. and South Korean government agencies for days was even broader than initially realized, also targeting the White House, the Pentagon and the New York Stock Exchange.

Other targets of the attack included the National Security Agency, Homeland Security Department, State Department, the Nasdaq stock market and The Washington Post, according to an early analysis of the malicious software used in the attacks. Many of the organizations appeared to successfully blunt the sustained computer assaults.......cont.

Judging by your NOA1 date, your NOA2 should be in the mail already


thats exactly what im waiting for right now,the dreaded mailman...


Why is he dreaded?? I have a feeling i will get a RFE, but I have all the info ready just in case. Trust me, I know how you feel, and so does everyone here. But keep your chin up, our time is coming!! smile.gif


I think you would have gotten an RFE by now, maybe I'm wrong but i think VSC works on alot of petitions in batches then sends out the NAO2, fingers crossed your in the next batch


You're a great cheerleader, thanks! I am keeping fingers and toes and eyes crossed. wacko.gif

I am divorced and i sent in a divorce decree that the lawyer had given me and it didn't have the judges signature on it. whistling.gif But since then I have written the court house and gotten the propper decree. (The divorce was in Pennsylvania and divorce is public record, so I do have a small hope that they will simply call someplace to comfirm it)

The other stupid thing I did was where they wanted to know how we met in person, I misunderstood and thought they simply wanted to know how we met. So I said the internet , through chat and webcams LOL. (My hope there is that they will see from my cover letter, box checked yes that we did meet in person, stamps in passport, boarding passes, and pictures that they will understand)

So I am ready for the RFE if it comes, and I am sooooooooooooooo ready for the NAO2 WHEN it comes!!!

I think that day I will wear a shirt that says "I got it!!" since every day sooooooo many people ask me if it came yet LOL. smile.gif

I think NVC has been getting overwelmed lately or they have too many people out on vaca. I have been calling once or twice a week just in case my case got forwarded there without me knowing it. Yesterday when I called there was a 13 minute wait, and then the lady was out of breath. After I had given her my recipt number she asked me when I had recieved notice from USCIS, and I know now to lie and say "oh, a week ago". Usually they tell me it takes about 2 weeks to get to them and yesterday she told me to please be patient, it could take 2 weeks to 6 weeks for them to recieve it. huh.gif

good afternoon all,
just reading through the last few pages, talking about medicals, in Ireland it is €350, which is probably near $500, police cert if free, visa is €107 plus €80 for biometrics and then its the plane cost which is usually around $600-$800, and dont even get me started on my juggage weight, for some reason people started buying us Irish things to put in the house, so im going to have to ship a lot over as well as what I am allowed to bring on the plane. My mom and my aunt are going to travel also so I have their weights to bring stuff. they are going to pack light, so that isnt too bad.

al-huub jameel any luck yet? I've my fingers crossed for you this week girl


Thanks so much!! And no, nothing yet, but I'm not giving up! I can't believe how expensive yours and others medicals are! That's great that you will have your family to travel with you and carry stuff!! I just found out the price of the police report in Jordan is 1JD, which is like $1.25US. And I called and confirmed on the medical and it is still 60JD (90ish US) But..the plane tickets...yikes. Around 1900 for round trip and if we're lucky 1,000 for one way.

Yeah her mom lives on Long Island so we will visit there often, but my family lives in S. Florida and we will probably alternate holidays. I am trying to convince her that New York is best in the summer. We'll see how that goes over.


I live in Fort Lauderdale, about 3 hours away from Orlando and my best friend is from Lithuania. She speaks Russian and so if your gal needs someone to talk to I'm sure Vilma would be happy to talk to her. And that is great that her mom is also in USA.....



that would be awesome. I have been preparing her for the first few weeks she is here. They are going to be difficult for her, because her only friends will be my friends. Which is fine, but we all generally work the same schedule so she won't have very many people to talk to or hang our with while I am at work. So anyways when she can make new friends is cool with me. Her mom is the best she flew into Russia the last time I was there just so we could spend Christmas together as a family.


Ohh that is so sweet! I'd be happy to introduce them. Guys, people have already updated today that they have been approved and it was last downloaded at 8AM. How does that work??? I hope more are on the way!!

My fiance had to get a federal clearance and a state clearance from her country. if she lived at more then one place for more than 6 months then she had to go to each state that she lived and get a police clearance from those states. so she lived in two different states and she had to get two police certificates from those states. so she went two weeks ago to the state she currently is in and she got the federal also with the state and then last week she had to take a bus 9 hours to get to the state she use to live in. but they gave it to her there but the other state she has to go back this week for because her id is from the other state which is sao paulo and that one is the 9 hour away. that is why they gave it to her last week right away because of the id.

she has to go to rio for interview which is 17 hours away so she is flying there to rio and that is another $160.00. the funniest thing is they have consulates where she use to live and the only one that does a visa for fiance is rio which is 17 hours away by bus. and not in a good area also.


OMG this is just crazy. 17 hours??!! And I'm confused about the police clearance- is this specific for every country? Because when I contacted the embassy in Jordan, they said he did not need local police clearance from his city, but he needed a GID (which is like FBI) good conduct report. This is country wide, not city.....

Well the idea is not to be paying all these costs ever again in our lives. I'd walk to hell and back for him so a couple thousand dollars for this whole process is hard, but I'm solid on who I'm paying it for biggrin.gif.

They didn't even look at her cookie as she was so concerned... They took blood and x-rays and said come back at 3 for injection...


Oh good!!!! She must be so relieved!!

Our medical exams were $close to $1000.00 if you take into account the travel time and she had to get a bus ticket to go there and then taxi's. also the police report she had to pay for also. it's a very expensive situation.


I am just in shock!!!

I guess we'll just add the cost to this giant list. I wonder if him being in the military will change the cost at all? He probably already had a thorough exam before entering training camp.


Well, to be fair, the $131 is for the visa (actually not just K1, but others too), not the interview. The airline ticket is an airline ticket - if you want it cheaper, you can book ahead of time and wait...

On the other hand, the medical fee you are cornered into forking over...In the Philippines, the embassy site still says it is about $213, but it apparently is now around $430 I think...


WHAT??? $413?? Does this include the immunizations? (I think he is going to get his immunizations there since it will be cheaper than in USA I am thinking, and we will need for AOS) This is what it says on Jordan embassy website.

Cost of Medical Examinations

The following schedule of costs represents the maximum amount which authorized physicians may charge for a given service. These prices are subject to change only with the approval of the embassy. If you believe that a panel physician has charged you more than the maximum authorized amount, please contact the embassy immediately at Amman-IV@state.gov.


Medical Examination (Adult)
Includes chest X-ray, urinalysis, blood work, VDRL, and HIV test
60 JD per person (not including vaccines)
Vaccines
Cost to hospital plus 25%
(Note: this is the percentage pre-set by Jordanian Government for the hospital’s profit)

for Cuba is $450 can u believe that???and the exit permit $150 and the flight $260 ohhh and the intervview $131
grrrrrr


OMG. For Jordan it's only 60JD (about 90 USD) for medical and $131 visa/interview. I have read about Cuba being awful.....It's like if they come on a raft, they are fine. But if they try and do everything the legal and correct way, they have a really hard time. So unfair. mad.gif Also, I'm very curious about your flight to Cuba and to USA. Do you have to travel to another country first or do we allow direct flights from Miami? When I lived in Belize I was going to try and go to Cuba from Mexico, but I heard rumors that there is a secret invisible stamp they put on our passports that could get us in trouble, so I never went. unsure.gif

Morning all...

Well... I woke up this morning at 4 am to call the Embassy in Prague. I asked if the paperwork got there and they said no. Then I told the Czech woman that I tracked it and they should have received it 6/29. She said Oh then its in the mail room still. We'll get to it in a week or two! And she was rude, but from what Maria says its common of them to be that way.

The Medical was today and it was $100 more than we thought. I'll have to the the "updater" here on VJ that it is a lot more than what is posted on this site. She has to get 1 injection today and she'll be good. Docs are at the translators and should be ready friday.

I'm glad others are getting good news... I'm sure there is more coming very soon!


In the mail room for a week or 2? #######! And is she getting her medical before she recieves info from the embassy? Is that possible? I want to have mine do that too...

Good Morning everyone! Today is 7/7 , a full moon, and a lunar eclipse! So let's all hope for good news! smile.gif

Maire, how did go?

Liz and Susan I can totally relate to how you're feeling. It contacted the embassy and got all the information months ago, I still haven't gotten my NAO2, and I am already gathering everything I need for my part of the interview process. You guys are going to be fine!!! This is so exciting!

To me, it seems like it would make sense to start ringing their number after you "estimated time frame of approval" is at its end and has already ended. I am hoping for a juicy batch to come out of VT this week. I will bug the hell out of them if I don't get my NOA2 since I am next door in MA.

My last day of estimated time frame is tomorrow....so we'll see. Yes, hopefully the batch will be juicy this week:) JeremySusan, good idea....what day did people get their e-mails? Lupy and Igor and everyone else, hang in there! Hopefully this is our week!

Maire I am happy your situation has resolved itself for you. You are a good person and you even tried to help your ex out of her jam. It didn't work out, but now you know that there is nothing you can do to help her. You can move forward with your life and try and be happy.


good.gif Well said! I agree! And nothing in my mailbox today- I rushed home to check. crying.gif Did anyone find a happy surprise in their mailbox when they got home???


Not today. I think we are doing basically the same things each day-- checking uscis' website, my inbox, calling nvc (in case somehow my case got there before my noa2 got to me) and rushing home everyday to see if I've gotten it in my mail. I just hope hope HOPE that it comes soon. crying.gif


Yes indeed. I've only been calling NVC about once a week.. Maybe I will call them again today. They always seem so annoyed when they ask me when I got my approval from USCIS and I tell them I haven't gotten it yet.....
