US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview passed! Visa not received	haha, at least you passed.. you should be happy and celebrating..	gogo	Male	China	2009-06-16 11:07:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Pick up your immigrant or fiancee visa on ... Why do we have to wait?	I would love to hear that message said to me.. congratulations on your approval!!	gogo	Male	China	2009-06-18 16:49:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Visa delivery	have some patience please.. some of us WISHED we had an approval.. don't worry, they will give it to you when you are approved..	gogo	Male	China	2009-06-29 10:57:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DHL Tracking from NVC to US Embassy	use "B" instead of "A"... I just figured that out	gogo	Male	China	2009-01-27 12:48:00
Philippines	WHAT IF.......	just to add.. there are people who waited much longer than you.. yes, even in my case too.. but I am one of the long ones.. so just have some patience and believe.. haha, you can ask the others what I have been through.. and we are still fighting, but it will soon be over.. and what a good fight it has been.. pretty much one-sided... and this side isn't about to give up.. I said it before, but I'll say it again.. if you don't have enough "fight" in you to win this, then what is the point of even being married? People say those things when they get married, but do you really follow through?.. for me, I'll take the whole government down just to bring her over.. and the thing is I don't even have anything to hide.. so all I say is : bring it! We look forward to other people's opinions on this board.. and we also help others in need too.. so what happens if you don't get your NOA2? do you know what to do then?.. lots of people have been through this, and we all post our ideas and topics.. and we also congratulate each other for our successes..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	How long takes USCIS send to NVC	yeah, I'm a recent one.. took about 8 days to enter NVC and get it in the system.. still waiting for the IITN number though..	gogo	Male	China	2008-10-01 15:18:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	August I-130 approvals, lets do NVC together.	everything is based on the petitioner.. or the status of them.. that is the one who is applying for the benefits (for the beneficiary)..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	USCIS background check	Hi Nita, yeah, we are barely sending our I-864/DS-230 in right now.. our lawyer is doing a slow job.. but that's ok.. hopefully 3 months from now, we should be able to get the interview.. My original guess was probably end of February 2009 anyway..	gogo	Male	China	2008-11-14 16:25:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	full blast faxing when...	Hi susieK.. how are you doing? good luck on your interview.. oh, I'm so jealous now.. I really want an interview too... they say then the lawyer, USCIS's lawyer (US Attorney), and the judge sits down and if there is no agreement, then there is a full-blown court.. but the lawyer rarely (1 or 2 out of 100) does it ever get that far.. but if it does, it could go on for a few more months.. or until the jury finds them guilty.. haha.. I have friends and my parents who are willing to go with me into the court and testify.. the USCIS is stupid and have no evidence against me or my wife..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	full blast faxing when...	when my lawsuit ends in 6 days, and if there is nothing , I will be on full-blast attack faxing to ALL these numbers on this website.. I don't care if they live in a hole in the mountain.. as long as they have a fax machine, they are getting one.. I'll have a squirrel deliver to the cavemen people there if I have to.. http://thevoice.name/?page_id=10698 It's not "FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY" anymore, now is it? list is updated in August 2008, so fairly decent	gogo	Male	China	2008-09-19 16:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	10 Months?? Seriously?	I have been thinking too.. maybe coming here illegally and doing the adjustment of status (and paying the extra fine) might be worth it..	gogo	Male	China	2008-09-19 16:00:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2007 Tax Transcripts	do you make more than $1 million? lol.. then you can hire my wife as a temporary worker (H1B, H2B) for you.. I'll pay you.. shoot, that is way faster than what I'm doing now.. it's not illegal because she can work for you.. also, I can see her everyday then.. the visa can wait because she doesn't have to work (just go to school).. another thing I was thinking before my FINAL DEADLINE was that I can apply for a USCIS officer position and go in there and approve my own petition!! haha.. I'll even admit it here.. and that's not illegal too, because I would be working.. just working on my own case, haha.. Edited by gogo, 18 April 2008 - 12:44 PM.	gogo	Male	China	2008-04-18 12:42:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2007 Tax Transcripts	well, you can print out the latest return in Turbotax.. but make sure you have two other official transcripts (2006,2007).. that might work.. not sure.. I think that you can use the Turbotax (or whatever) copies but you need copies of your W2s.. that should at least have most of your income there.. well, more than enough for the minimum needed..	gogo	Male	China	2008-04-18 12:37:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2007 Tax Transcripts	are you going the I-129F way or the I-130 way? Seems like your I-129F got stuck?	gogo	Male	China	2008-04-18 12:27:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2007 Tax Transcripts	also, the transcripts are BETTER, but you would need to provide other proof if you just printed your tax stuff out of TurboTax, lol.. The transcripts are free and just a few pieces of paper each (2 or 3 for me).. just request them over telephone (they ask for SSN, that's all) thank you hyd617.. I hope that you get your approval soon too!! Your time should be almost here.. about a month or two more.. from the different approvals I see on the board..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2007 Tax Transcripts	haha, I have 2005,2006, and 2007 Tax Transcripts already requested and at my house.. also, she already did her police certificate too.. but the only thing we are missing is the DAMN approval.. lol	gogo	Male	China	2008-04-18 11:02:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Time from sending Packet 3 til receiving interview date?	probably no more than 2-3 weeks.. but I think also if you do have AP (Administrative Processing) it will take a lot longer.... just like security checks.. maybe a few months.. don't want to scare you there.. if there is no AP, then it will be really fast..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-08 14:35:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Time from sending Packet 3 til receiving interview date?	After approval, probably no more than 3-4 months for trip to NVC and to Consulate Interview.. that's from what I read from others.. although everyone is different, of course..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	same to you thanks.. it's just so frustrating that none of the rules work out.. and with all of their "excuses" too.. why can't they work on it? Even the people on the phone (1-800) tell me the same stuff.. that the case got transferred, but since they don't have a processing time for these types, we are not sure when it will get done..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 13:15:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	see, but he got approved in 5 months time.. that's good.. I just want to hear something about my case... it's good to have something in the hand (like your case is approved).. at least you know you got a good shot at getting the visa.. this first wait for the approval is the hardest..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 13:04:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	check the others from your country... don't give up.. haha, maybe I should have given myself the 2-3 years deadline too.. so i wouldn't have that much of a high expectation for USCIS.. http://www.visajourn...?showuser=21647 here's an example.. wow, the petition got approved so fast.. here's another one that is not so fast.. but past the 180 days... but still way less than 2 to 3 years time.. they still fall within the 6-8 months time that most people go through.. http://www.visajourn...?showuser=33880 Edited by gogo, 09 July 2008 - 12:49 PM.	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 12:46:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	that's true.. but I tried "blaming" the system, and it didn't work, haha.. so I apologize for attacking the illegals.. but you have to admit that they are a factor of what is going wrong in the immigration system..another "excuse" I had was I started getting mad one time at the local office, and then a security guard came over and said "you better not do that again, or we will kick you out." It seems you can't even get mad at their employees.. I did "buy" a petition, so technically I'm a customer.. and supposedly customers are always right.. well, except in the government.. so I'm down to my last resort too.. if this lawsuit does not go through, then I'll move back with her.. I already set a deadline in my signature.. I'm going back at the end of the year for another visit though.. hopefully we can spend at least one Christmas together before something good/bad happens..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 12:37:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	I also get stupid excuses from USCIS.. 1) when they take out your case to look at, they put it back at the end of the line.. the local office officer told me that I have a right to keep checking on my case, but that is what is going to happen.. 2) they transferred your case to the local office, but since the local office doesn't have a processing time for these types of cases, we don't know how long they will take.. 3) at the local office, they told me I filed TWO applications and I wasn't supposed to do that (I-130/I-129F).. the officer said because they have to "consolidate" it now, so that's why it takes more time than other people.. no ####, they had "consolidated" back in November 2007.. I told him that most people do it this way (explained I-130 gets IR1/CR1, and that I-129F gets K3 visa).. he didn't care for the answer.. he was like "who taught you all this?" and started laughing at me.. he said I was supposed to only go with the I-130.. and by filing the I-129F, I made it slower on myself.. 4) other organizations do security checks, not just the FBI.. this was after I told them I received a letter from the FBI stating I had no security checks on my case as of March 2008 (originally they transferred my case to the local office November 2007).. then I had a local office interview on February 2008.. so I wrote to the White House (president), and he forwarded to Dept of Justice & FBI.. received letter in the mail from the Records Management Chief there.. there's plenty of other excuses that I received that are full of BS..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	but like you said.. they "choose to be here".. so they made a decision and shouldn't complain about it.. I'm "complaining" too, but I'm complaining because my time was up a long time ago.. I will wait my time if need be, but the system isn't fair.. the illegals have no right to complain about how the system isn't fair to them and that they can't get a good education/job because of their status.. actually, the colleges and other organizations are doing more than they are supposed to in order to help them already...	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 12:19:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	but not everyone is lucky enough to be rich.. that is why my wife is born in China... her family isn't rich.. just because you come to the US , it doesn't mean you have a good life.. it just means you have a chance at a better one.. if I want money, I can go rob a bank or earn it the right way with a job... that's why criminals get caught and regular citizens don't have to worry about that problem.. with greater rewards you have greater risks.. if someone comes illegally, then they always have to watch over their back for fear of being caught.. while people who apply and do it the right way won't have to..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-09 12:09:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	I am PRAYING everyday and hoping for an approval just like most everyone here.. is that wrong to do? Let's see you PRAY for 15 months and nothing shows up on your plate.. If I at least got approved, i can wait longer.. but there has been NOTHING so far.. if you do happen to reach 15 months, then you can say the same thing.. tell me how you feel if you do.. show me your feelings that time.. she should have been here half a year ago.. I wanted to show my wife all the wonderful things in America.. for example, she hasn't even seen snow because her area is in Southern China.. we cry every week now wanting to be together.. you just started your journey and I hope that you get approved soon.. I don't wish bad things upon you like what they did to me.. they may question our love, but in my heart (and hers) , we know we love each other.. I may be wrong about the illegal immigrants, but that doesn't make me bad.. It's probably like what that other person said about "clouding my judgment" now..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	hmm.. even rebecca didn't attack me directly on that.. so what did I do wrong? Explain why I had to wait 15 months for nothing.. All I want is for them to make a decision.. I waited my fair time (just like everyone else).. If everyone took 2 years, then I will wait.. but if I see people getting approved 6-8 months, then I expect my turn in line too.. I am not going to do things illegally.. if that was the case, I would have done so already.. so what did I "deserve"? It's bad enough that China isn't one of the welcome countries on the list (this is similar to the story that I posted); I feel the "consequence" of all the people who applied before that had fake marriages, so they make it harder on me to get approved..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	yeah, that's true.. but they are one of the reasons why the government is moving so slowly (another reason is because their own system doesn't work); So having a system that doesn't work and people you can't trust (security checks on cases and administrative processing done; local office interviews) makes the people who apply suffer a great deal more..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-08 16:09:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	well, if there were no illegals, then everyone can get approved really fast... they may not be the main source of the problem, but it is a big factor to consider... another one would be the bad management of USCIS.. then you have the US making a few enemies in the Mideast Countries.. they put their nose in other people's business, and they get a terrorist attack.. then they tighten everything up.. hmmmm..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-08 14:51:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	well, they got a whole website about this stuff... http://www.idexer.com/ just read the 1st news article... 1 in 5 births are illegal in the US... well, I have to blame somebody..	gogo	Male	China	2008-07-08 14:42:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	well, it's just like their parents coming to a 'new' country (the US) from wherever they came from.. If my case doesn't get approved, then I plan on moving to a 'new' country too.. have you not done such a big move before? then you can't really say anything about that.. My parents came from China to make a better life for them (and me)... They came to a 'new' country with not a lot of things and slowly made a good life.. maybe I said it wrong.. I meant that the "children" (and their parents) can move back.. not just the "children".. I moved here when I was really small too.. and I plan to "move" if her case is not approved too..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	not being able to be together for over 450 days.. that was just from the filing date.. we known each other for 3 1/2 years now.. tell me how we make that up.. the "illegal" children still have their family with them at all times.. the only thing is that they are "illegal".. so if my wife comes over (hopefully), and she starts school.. does that mean she is the same as them?.. She waited all this time to get a good US education too.. and waited a lot longer than climbing over the fence to get here.. but now she won't have to worry about being "illegal" her whole life.. well, the "illegal" children always have a decision to go back to their home country.. so does my wife.. but we decide to do the right thing and wait for her approval.. and not just sneak over here.. I didn't say that they should be "happy".. I said that they should quit complaining.. =) they got everything good (that my wife wants), except that the only thing is that they are "illegal".. this is what I want for us too.. to have a good life here..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	these stories make me so mad...	true.. but their parents should have thought about it.. otherwise, that is NOT being a good parent.. so if I find a story on an "illegal adult", then everything is ok? I'm just saying that they should be lucky to even be here and having a good education.. lots of people want to come here to get a good life (and education).. but some of us (like my wife) are doing things the LEGAL way.. and yet she still can't come.. does that not account for the same thing the "children" are going through?.. My wife will come here and go through college too.. but she won't have to worry about her "legal" status because of me.. because of what I (and her) had to go through to make her a PR (US Citizen)... the children are here in America and they will continue to worry about what their parents did before.. This is the "consequence" of their parents' actions.. On the other hand, I have waited my time and still nothing for me and my wife.. This may be our "consequence" for not coming here illegally, but I would want this more than having to look over my shoulder and also worry about getting a good job and education.. so tell me how that is wrong.. we both want the same thing (good education and job).. the "children" are here, my wife is NOT.. you even went through the whole visa process, so you know how it is..
