IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	OKAY VERMONT FILERS, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING	QUOTE (Ilya R. @ Jun 18 2008, 10:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am I smoking Crack? No, but maybe I should be. Seeing as if you find it amusing that people are suffering, Why are they suffering, because they want to see their families? People did everything USCIS has asked, payed higher fees this year, and still get absolutely no help, no information, absolutely nothing. Your grand solution is to stop crying about it? Oh great ###### idea, thanks a lot mr.Obvious. When you'll go through what most of these people have gone through, come and mouth off, if you have nothing nice to say, stay out of this thread. Mags and I filed during the beginning of the IMBRA thing.... It annoyed me back then when people complained about the "injustice of it all", and it annoys me now. In the US this process takes a long time. It always has, it always will. Pitching a b!tch about it will accomplish nothing, except maybe slow the whole process down while the onslaught of emails, Congressman inquiries, etc are dealt with. If you've been waiting over a year, then yeah....you have a reason to be pissed off. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of whining.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-06-18 14:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	OKAY VERMONT FILERS, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING	QUOTE (Ilya R. @ Jun 18 2008, 09:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only reasonable thing is to have all the vermont applicants ask a site moderator to send an email containing mass inuiry and explanation why filers from april are getting approved and why some october/sept filers are getting shafted? And ofcorse explain their Fifo Policy and address July 30th, why is that magical date still here. P.S. Did anyone notice which of their petition improved on dates dramatically? Thats prolly the priority visas. This is so very amusing.... Just a year or so ago it was Vermont that was much, much faster than California. People started posts about how "unfair" it was for people at CSC, etc etc blah blah. Now Vermont is slow apparently, and people are doing the same thing. It happens. Deal with it. "The only reasonable thing is to have all the vermont applicants ask a site moderator to send an email" You're smoking crack, right? Why in the world would it be the job of a moderator on this site to send an email to anyone? And why, exactly, do you think USCIS would care? VJ is just one of many such sites, and has absolutely no "pull" at all. There are only 3 moderators on this site...I think they have quite enough to keep them busy without sending out emails on behalf of people who are snivelling about their wait time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	TEST	I've always wondered.... what makes someone think that it's perfectly okay to start an entire topic just so YOU can test YOUR signature? A wacky concept is replying to an existing topic and looking at your signature there. Then changing it if you need to. And - amazingly enough - your signature in that previous post will magically CHANGE when you change it in your profile. ALL instances of your signature will change! It's like electric sex! The moral.... Don't be a putz and post an entire topic just to test your signature cuz you ain't bright enough to use a message board properly.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-07-10 20:03:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I am ready to pull all my hair out!!!!!	This is so, but there is a time to relax and calm down and there is a time to "move yer ###" (so to speak) lol. Also: nagging usually works just fine lol. Oh, I moved my ####### just fine when it came to filing the paperwork. I did take an extra week to read everything available and triple-check all of the forms, though. And no, nagging doesn't work on me at all. I detest nagging. Nagging = breaking up, in LarryWorld. I refuse to live with nagging in my life. If something is mentioned more than 3 or 4 times, I intentionally stall on it, just to show that I will not be nagged into doing something. I don't want control of the relationship, but I sure won't let someone else have all of the control, either. 50/50 and all that. I don't think that most women truly realize the amount of resentment that builds up due to nagging. It may take 5 years or more to manifest itself, but it WILL manifest itself in one form or another. Just like a woman being married to a lazy slob will cause resentment and ultimate manifestation of that resentment. Just because a guy gives in to the nagging to make it stop doesn't mean the issue is over. Us men can hold onto things for a long, long time, too. Therefore, I wouldn't say that it "usually works just fine." Again, just my opinion.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-02 08:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I am ready to pull all my hair out!!!!!	One of the reasons I love my Sian so much is that she knows that nagging me about something will only make it take longer. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with her in the first place. She isn't American. She doesn't have to have everything this very minute and rush rush about like a fool. There's something to be said for being laid-back and relaxed about things. Lower blood pressure, for example. Less chance of aneurism or stroke. Remember that Americans are the unhealthiest people on the planet. It should be obvious why that is.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	1st FACT of IMBRA (Finally)	I agree that we need a IMBRA forum. Finding actual information is very difficult at the moment. I've created temporary forums on my board many times in response to current "hot" topics. It's a great way to organize and keep information useful and relevant. Once the topic is no longer "new", I consolidate the information into a FAQ and move the posts to my archive. As for the OP..... while this form has been posted before, I see nothing wrong with posting a new topic with the link in the first post. I'm sure it allowed several people to find it who hadn't seen it before. There's no way I could read every single post; I can't even keep up with the threads I get emails about - 283 emails yesterday.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-05 22:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can someone sort me out?	Things are clear. That appears on the bottom of everyone's NOA1. It's on mine too. But it only applies to I-485 and I-698. They use the same NOA form and template for all such applications.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-03 16:34:00

Pls let me know before I send. Thanks. PS. i have only two e-mails included but most of our IM convo since Feb(which is when we met online) took place either by telephone or PC mic convo. What do u think? I think I would wait a few more days, since the new version of the I-129f is coming out later this month. Otherwise, I think the IM convos should be fine. Just make sure you have pictures of the two of you together, plane ticket stubs, etc as well.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-14 07:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Long Birth certificate for USC	I posted this question in another thread and I think it got lost..... As the foreign fiance, I have the long version, but does the USC have to send in the long version as well? I couldn't find anything in the guides that make reference to the long BC for the UCS... Did anyone send in the short version and be ok? Thanks The US doesn't have a long and short form Birth Certificate. There's just a birth certificate. True, you can get a wallet-sized legal BC, but it's still the normal one, just smaller (reduced). It depends on the state that issued the BC. I have both a short and a long form from South Carolina. I couldn't find the long form when I sent in my application, but it states in the instructions for the I-129f that if you lack a birth certificate, you can send in a complete copy of your passport (all pages, including the blank ones.) So I sent that with the short form to be on the safe side and had no problems getting approved through Vermont. (Until IMBRA screwed it all up, of course.) It is true that some states issue a wallet sized card, but it usually isn't called a Birth Certificate. It's usually called a Registration of Birth Card or something to that extent. The only document that is an actual Birth Certificate in the US is the 81/2 X 11 one with all of the birth information... The Indiana birth certificate is only half that size (8x5, I think), and all of them (in IN) list mother and father.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-22 12:44:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Case transferred from Nebraska to California	Just got two e-mails from USCIS and came to check my case status. I've got a touch from CSC and the status has changed to show that they have recieved it. "On June 14, 2006, your I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was received here for processing. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates" Though I am curious if this is a sort of "new" NOA1... which would, from the looks of it, unfortunately mean we're all back at the bottom of the pile. Let's hope California speeds up a bit at least. Yeah, just got 3 of these myself.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-06-14 16:46:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How can you request a copy of tax return for k1 visa?	I was concerned about the same thing, since I'm missing my 2004 return. However, since they've changed it to the last year only (rather than the last 3), I'm afraid I didn't research it any further. I wasn't able to find any online forms when I did look. Doesn't mean they aren't there, of course. I'd call the IRS Help Line and inquire about it. How to get a copy of your tax return I got three years worth of transcripts within a week. Ah! Sweet!

Not only is it incredibly BAD customer service, but... Now they are sending the I-130s to CSC too?? Why send them somewhere where they know they will be waiting for ages? Where is the logic to this? It's apparently true. There's a topic about it in the spouse visa forum. Seems they're transferring VSC people to CSC. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Who are you to talk anyway, you applied in MAY and in CSC, so get used to waiting. MY service center is better than YOUR service center!!! Nya Nya Nya!	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-07-17 18:02:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	USCIS Director Gonzalez to Participate	Correct, in that certain action can gain results. Action on the part of USCIS would be first. Second, bitching to the Undersecretary of DHS-USCIS on a PR campaign, does not. He will not see your questions, and flooding the site only makes it less likely that he will. The most effective way to get results thus far, was Kitkat1's suggestion of contacting your State's Senator. That is where the chatter goes on between people that can make a difference. Believe what you will, But a practical perspective would suggest the following, if you were Gonzalez or his staff, and had 16000 questions sent in, you would only see 4 or 5 hard luck cases that would be addressed. He is not online for 1 month. In reality, 1 hour, think about it. The Senator route is the way to go. Agreed. I've contacted both of my senators. One of them actually replied. lol The other one must be far too old to bother with such things. In the interest of disclosure, and since AstroM33 seems so concerned about it, here is/are the question(s) I asked: Because the USCIS chose to reorganize its' offices at the same time that it was still reeling from IMBRA, many US citizens with fiance(e)s in other countries are now stuck in limbo. Foreign fiance(e)s have been reduced to living with friends, being without jobs, having to cancel wedding plans, and other things. What is being done at the USCIS - specifically CSC - to increase the speed of the K1/K3 process? For instance, a fiance(e) visa for the UK takes as little as 2 weeks, while the US varies from 2 months to 2 years. How is this huge of a difference possible?	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-07-21 19:49:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	USCIS Director Gonzalez to Participate	What I can't believe is that more people have not responded to this thread. It seems that if someone puts up a thread to complain about how slow the process is progressing 50,000 individuals reply. However, here we have a solid chance to have our collective voices heard and it seems, at least from the lukewarm response this thread has received, that not many people plan on submitting a question. I can guarantee that if as many people that complain on this forum actually "officially" voiced their concerns this process would speed up overnight. This is the U.S. people. Why is it that so many people worldwide want to come here? Not only for a higher standard of living, but also because we truly have a government that (whether you love it or hate it) is ultimately accountable to its citizens. Let our voices be heard. Do not just complain about the problem, do something about it. An interesting concept is that some people read this thread, submitted their question, and then didn't feel the need to post about it. Which is more important? Submitting your question to the USCIS or posting it here? Talking an issue to death doesn't solve it, action does.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2006-07-21 19:19:00
