that's true too.. good.gif I just lived here for more than 20 years, so I know that the US is getting "poorer" now compared to the other countries (as well as the major drop recently in the dollar vs other currencies).. but each country has it's good and bad things.. There may be more AVAILABLE resources here than compared to other countries.. but it is HOW YOU USE THEM that is important and will allow you to have a good life with your wife/husband.. good.gif

well, that is pretty much true about the US right now.. it doesn't really matter where you live.. it's WHO you live with... I can live in a cave on an island... but if I live with my wife, there is ENOUGH WARMTH to go around... we love each other very much and will take care of each other..

every country smells biggrin.gif the whole world smells pretty bad (to tell you the truth).. a lot of people don't take the good earth for granted.. throwing garbage on the streets.. yes, you are right.. America is getting poorer...

http://articles.mone...tingPoorer.aspx

check that article out..

I'm sorry for your loss (if there was a loss, in fact)... actually, you did "gain" knowledge that she wasn't the right person for you.. but don't let that bother you your whole life.. there are wonderful people from every country (and bad people from every country).. Next time, just take a deeper look at her and her family... uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers.. she may pretend, but if her whole family pretends, then you will be able to figure that out soon enough...

are you planning on taking them to court? If not, we won't be able to get past anything at this rate... I'm still holding true to my deadline of 1/1/2008... that is 280 days from when I submitted... plenty of time for them to do ANYTHING for my case...

now they don't even update the "Last Updated" on the USCIS website for me.. I called in two times recently (one for I-130, one for I-129F).. and now both are still not updated.. they are getting more lazy as we speak.. crying.gif crying.gif the ONLY thing they do right is collect our "increased" fees... after that, it is still the same ... actually much slower now.. mad.gif mad.gif

I just called at 8am... they said my application is going through a "background" check this time and most of these checks take about 2-3 weeks (exact time uncertain).. they said someone is looking at my I-129F form already and is will be approved immediately once this background check is over... so 2-3 weeks??? crying.gif crying.gif that would be give me an estimated date of 12/7/2007... I'll give them this delay this time... they said I called too much.. 6 times in 2 months... they said to try to limit to 1 per month... Next call will be 12/7/2007 then.. whistling.gif

you know what just happened? They sent me a "REPLACEMENT NOTICE OF ACTION"... that is so retarded.. they thought I had lost the 1st one.. I didn't lose anything mad.gif mad.gif I was told to keep everything together.. not like what they are doing... that is so ridiculous.. I just got another "NOA1" through the mail (because of my call on Thursday to them to follow up on my I-130 or I-129F)... they are the most stupid people.. then they said that my application will be approved "late this year to early next year"... what the $@)(%#)% is that?

jrmach1, in case you haven't read (I posted in another topic)...

=================

here is an article stating all the 'security checks' that are done by the government..

http://usaimmigratio...tiveReview.html

3 different types.. what the $#%#? If I barely get past the 1st check after 8 months... then 2nd check will take another 8 months at NVC??? and also the dreaded "AP" (Administrative Review) at the Consulate??

I really don't want 3 x 8 months... that is just not funny at all.. reading this article is making me mad already... mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

"False Name Hit".. why don't we check some of the USCIS workers for that?? I bet we will get many...

MY SECURITY CHECK
================
At USCIS (Homeland Security Department) stage, currently, NCIC, IBIS and NIIS database checks are done, with the option, if warranted, to do additional database checks.

*NCIC (National Crime Information Center)(also called FBI criminal database) ** I don't have criminal background, I will though if they don't hurry it up**
*IBIS (Interagency Border Inspection System) ** US Citizen already **
[Click Here for More Information on Security Checks with IBIS.]
*NIIS (Non-Immigrant Information System) ** US Citizen already, green card, lived here for 25 years already **

checking my background... I already work for the freaking government already (with a background check done already)... so this is how they treat US citizen + government worker.. mad.gif mad.gif

photos too big? How so?.. I sent about 20 different 4x6 pictures of me and her, with family (both sets of parents), sisters.. all in different places too.. so they really have no reason to complain about me here.. if they want pictures, I'll send them over 4,000 (this last trip I took last month had over 1,000 hehe)..

hehe.. just relax My Honey.. you (and I) need to take a few days off this visa journey.. I even told my wife that in my daily email to her =) just relax for a few days and not worry about this and pick up where we left off.. I just sent another fax into that number I gave you last time (3 times) and told them to move my I-130 into NVC. I told them I know the delay is caused by the I-129F (and I wasn't responsible for that delay of the NOA1 arriving so late).. I told them to keep the I-129F at the CSC... I'll take any approval now... just to get out of the CSC... even if the I-130 takes a few more months at the NVC, at least that place is moving a lot faster than CSC... so just approve either I-129F or I-130.. CR1/IR1 or K3.. wacko.gif

thanks My Honey for your offer... =) Actually, I'm planning on sticking to my 1/1/2008 deadline before I decide to sue USCIS... I'm not scared of going to court because I have something to fight for.. I'll bring so many pictures / documents (I'll even tell them to place a call in court to my wife and her family saying it's a REAL relationship).. I didn't try calling my Senators.. do you think that is better than sending a fax over to them? (I sent it to them on 11/13, so like you said, it will take about a month's time)...

beats me... I thought they were doing security checks.. now she said "let me check your filing date -- did you file in April?".. I said "Yes".. she said "we are having computer glitch , like you heard before.. we will be able to process your case late this year , or early next year"... she said we will send you a notice of action... I already have ONE!!! what the goddamn hell is going on?? SHE EVEN VERIFIED I SENT MY I-130 IN APRIL!! that is so ridiculous.. so it's been over 180 days already... she told me to wait 30 days for the Notice of Action (I asked her if it was RFE, she said "no") to be sent to my address (she verified that too)...

oh, ok =) You sent the letters to your representatives last month.. no wonder, I sent it just 3 days ago.. and I'm eager to have someone look on my case already..

I am sad now after hearing this news of the "new" glitch... late this year, early next year... could mean from this December to March 2008... oh gosh... crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif all this time just to get past the 1st step... that is so not fair for us... we are US Citizens and that still doesn't help.. maybe she should just come illegally through the borders... or come on a work visa / student visa.. any of these are faster and can just do the adjustment of status.. is that what they want? the $1,000... here, I'll give them $10,000... just approve it now... I'll wire it over so fast they can't even blink..

Hi Everyone,

still nothing for us poor people who are still waiting past 180 days??

Hi My Honey... at least your case is being looked at... we haven't got a touch since 10/25... and that day they said they were working on my case.. so after 1 week still no additional touches??
