after the interview you can put in your passport number...I wish I was able to use this now, but the time will come

u know what that is LOTO? i forgot

You don't have to submit anything to VFS except Rs.365 courier fee and get receipt. However, carry all your files during VFS visit.

She's fine, getting nervous day by day before interview, by seeing couple of 221(g) at Chennai

I told her it is case by case, not to worry

Yes, next month at this date, she'll be coming from there, if visa is granted without any hassles

ya ur right!! im sure i will be nervous too.. but ok ya i remmebr now we have to pay the fee my husband had told me.. we wil be caryin all docs .. i already sent him stuff with my mom, like extra marriage certificates we had, pics of us togehter, pics of us together with family, i will be takin phone card receipts, my travel boarding pases i had saved, he has our hotel tickets, tour tickets etc so we r all set to go ..

Visitors to the US to register 3 days before travel

Read the article here...

If I'm understanding correctly, the visa waiver is going away? Non citizens of countries formerly requiring a visa waiver will now have to register biological information 3 days before travel to the US, but then they won't have to register again for two years when they travel.

What do you guys think about this? Have you heard about it? Looks like August it will be required!

In only 5 weeks after NOA2, our case was completed at NVC! We could've done in 3 weeks, since my wife spent an extra 2 weeks to obtain and mail her police certificate from Japan. Anyhow, the online payment is really a life saver and NVC is very good at reviewing the case documents (only spend 4 business days doing so). Check out my timeline.

The NVC operator told me that a July interview is unlikely due to the capacity at the Tokyo embassy, so right now I am looking at an August interview perhaps..

Good luck to you all

congrats!! feels nice.. yes the online payments r a life saver!!!!!

Since when????

Isnt that how most people do it?
Why do they have this page and the option to enter all my bank info if it doesnt work now??

https://ceac.state.g...ice/signon.aspx

I guess I should just screw all this mess and just mail the hard copy in and stop wasting time

they always say that, just go pay online.. dont listen to them! thats what they told me to

get ur iin number (if u havent yet call at night time- day ppl do not give it for whatever reason)

I've tried to pay twice online and both times it said PAID then I check back in a couple of days and it shows "NOT PAID" and rejected.
I know I have the money in the bank and I verified my bank info.

Ill try one more time. 3rd times a charm?

This is a tough journey,

oh by the way I know of a website that if you would like to join, its only by invitation, it has a lot of info, if so just contact me and you have to give me an email address to send you the invite, there are a lot of great people on that site too,

take care Kathleen

Kathleen, thank you, its funny my husband joined this site so we could have some time together depite being 5000 miles away, he also posted in this thread, he is Paris' Husband, the other half of the flip flop twin "Ilya" Ha ha. Yes, its been a long time since I saw my husband, but Im planning on going to Paris Sept. 4th. I too dont sleep at night, I feel like something is missing, Im sure you understand what I mean.

I will send you my email, thank you that is very kind of you.

Who is having flip flops business here .............lol

is it paris couple .?? just kidding

I know what you mean Paris, I am going to Mexico to see my husband On July 9th. I get 2 and a half weeks. I am counting down the hours. I just want to be with him so much. It has been 6 months since I have seen him. I want to be with him and breathe again...

NicoleX08 I know what you mean girl. Even when Im with him, I still do not breath, he takes my breath away.
Your trip in coming up soon, keep tanning, I tanned too long today, I feel like a cripsy critter, 10 minutes in the stand up and 20 in the bed,. I think I will skip tanning for the weekend, and get a pedicure, so I can wear the flip flops ,ha ha.

OKAY, GUYS, TIME TO RALLY THE TROOPS. Vermont is not moving from July 30th, we need to make a huge effort here or continue down this pathetic road. I say that we are being taken for granted. I say that Vermont is doing nothing at all, posting July 30th while approving applications filed in December and leaving October and November applications behind. Let's pull together and figure something out. We need to do something to get their attention or this is going to go on for a long, long time. Who is with me. Let's brainstorm. I am in battle mode. Tired of sitting around waiting while my husband is miles away and my daughter is growing up without him. Come on people, lets work together. Gather ideas, something has got to give.

Its so pathetic ..........and shameful to VSC(USCIS) just by keeping july 30, 2007 as their processing date for last 3-4 months.I cannot imagine how people in the world can do that,even the big ELEPHANTS would have walked miles by this time...How come VSC is such slow....there is definitely something wrong with them.

One other thing while im thinking about it, I think I may have a way to know if your application is being looked at by anyone. The color of your application numbers. If you use the same pc day in and day out to check your application your application number is always purple I never delte cookies or anything also . When something has been looked at or accessed the numbers turn blue. I check my application on my work pc and on my house pc, the numbers are always purple. I just called uscis to see if maybe they have any new info other than blah blah blah Jan 24th we blah blah blah , right after the call, my application number was blue. Any thoughts? Anyone else ever notice the color change?

ya i see the color change also..itts b/c my husband and i both aces it and look at it.. i chek at owrk its purple then when i log in after getin home its blue..
but urs turned after ur call? r u sure it wasnt u accessing it before ur cal.. cuz if its not u then thats weird...maybe they r lokoin at it

The only way to get any information the correct way (no RFE line calls) seems to be making and Info pass appointment. Who knows if or what information they have but that seems to be the only way to get information about your case. I am curious to know what happens in an infopass appointment , do they know what stage you are in on your application, can they see what has been done already and what is still needed, or do they only see a screen that says you filed an application on such and such date. I have 2 offices that are about the same distance for me, one in D.C. and one in Norfolk. I would have to take time off from work to go but if i thought they might be able to provide some more information other than what the 1-800 number has i think i might be tempted to do it.

I HAD AN infopass appt in sept when i relaized i sent the wrong fee ( at this point no noa1) so went to infopass in houston and oficer said we have to start over there was realy nothin he looked up ( maye cuz i wasnt in system yet since itw as takin 90 days to get noa1) so she gave me new forms to use to refill out after receivin the rejection notice for my incorrect fee... so i waitied got it in oct and started again in oct.. no help

but maybe if u r far along in ur time and u have receopt numebr prob they can see somethin.. i have no idea..

. Atleast some people dont suffer as much as others. This process can be very detrimental to the people going through it. In fact it is one of the hardest things I have had to do and I have had some tough things to deal with before.

Well besides that how is everyone today? Anyone else have this strange attraction to their email, VJ.com, and USCIS and by attraction I mean addiction?

Then after Feb. 24th when I could see my case online and signed up for email notification I was checking email ,USCIS, and VJ atleast 20 times a day

Not sure why I even bother to look really, never had any touches at all. Same update day of 2/24/2008, **Sigh** Our day will come, and when it does I hope I dont have a heart attack, I never get email so the other day I had 2 messages and I was like please be USCIS, please be USCIS, darn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu best buy!!!!!!

To be honest I dont know what to tell you, Its strange how they have their filing system. Maybe thats why the FIFO system isnt working, who knows. I have been told by an officer that the in date shows the 24th of January but the date they use for processing is Nov. 19th. If that is what they told your congressman though who knows whats going on. Very frustrating indeed. Dont get to worked up over it though. The one thing that they are consistent about is inconsistency. But it would be very difficult to make the leap to them using the in date as the process date. Some people are just luckier than others. Maybe when you hit that 6 month mark you can send in your NOA1 to your congressman and show that they accepted your pettition in Oct. At the same time perhaps send them a printed page from the USCIS website saying that they will use the accepted at date VS the NOA1 date. While we can not do anything to assist ourselves in this situation sometimes its better to think that we are doing something. Besides it doesnt hurt to try again with your congressman making sure to show that you are at the 6 month mark. Yesterday you asked a question "how do you guys do it?", you already know the answer because your right here with us doing it. Your stronger than you think and we are here to help you become stronger in knowing your not alone. And if your going to cry dont curl up and cry , have one of those good walking around the house cries, you know the one where you cry so much your still doing the dishes, laundry, taxes, and making a birthday cake for a relative because you know it will be a couple of hours before you stop crying

. Might even feel a bit better

thank you. I needed that.
and I didnt even think of mailing my receipt (that I think they have already) WITH the printoff from the website about accepting the first date!
Thanks. thats a great idea!
I was really praying today was our day

hey shrewdie.. dont be sad or depressed... try callin urself and explain us situation to them... i think they dont know what theyre sayin.. so we r all going thru the same thing.. its ok ur not alone... but i was hopin today would be our day also...

I would like to start this thread for those who filed I-130 in October and November. We sent our I-130 on October 1st still didn't get NOA. With all this processing time delays published by USCIS it seems like it is going to take a long long very long time for us to get NOA.

Don't be hopeless.. Check out my timeline..

I sent my I-130 on 5-19-07 to the Vermont Office
Notice of Receipt was on 5-21-07
Notice of Approval was on 6-7-07

I didn't request no Expedite service.. I also I sent my application via Priority Mail only..

Today I just got my IV Fee Bill of $380.. After paying this, I am going to be on my last step which is the DS230..

ok guys..
my congressman called vermont and told them that I should expect 6 months from my petition date and they have my petition date as january 17 (my receipt date). now. we all know (and my receipt says) I petitioned in October. so. now what?
my congressman told me they cant take any more action until July when I have reached 6 months.... but really it will be nine?
do i just ignore what she said? or do I curl up in a ball and cry?

hey shrewdy... ur congressman prob called USCIS and not VERMONT service center.. we already hit our 6 months. and in their system at uscis they prob have u as OCT filer.. so u try callin vermont.. and askin wats up...? dont rtely on what ur congressman said.. ur 6 months started in oct not january...

well, she specifically said "kim at the vermont service center"

I will try to call again this afternoon
when I check my case online it does say "received" january 17
is that what yours said? your receipt date instead of the REAL date?

mine online shows received jan 11 when they actualy received it oct 16. but oct 16 is showing in their system as received date.. thats wat the oficer at vermont said... she looked up my case in their system...? im sure urs shows also but the lady who spoke tour congreman prob was a uscis person.. im thinkin.. why dont u call again..and get thry the RFE way to talk to soomeone at vermont.. (thats what id id good luck.. let me know wat hapens)
