United KingdomUK posts being made invisible

TO EVERYONE: Stay on topic and lets make this a constructive conversation. If you want a side bar take it to PM please. No attcking each other, no digging up the past. This post was doing great and getting some constructive new ideas so lets keep it on topic please :).


Seriously, this is what I'm talking about. The ADMIN & mods are in this topic, yet Joe has been allowed to go on & on & insult?


I haven't insulted you. However, the one who said my posts were pointless and inflammatory insulted me. But I'm not going to make a big deal about it.

If I were going to insult you I'd do it via PM so as not to cause a disturbance. You would then be free to report it. However, I did not insult you. Why would I insult someone who inspired me to make a great signature?

Going forward, I'd like to see:

- invisibility as last result. It is big brother & unneccessary unless racist, threatening, etc.
- warnings to chill out
- consistency in which posts get censored
- less bias

-If a threadmust be name chnaged, say why. This thread had no business being renamed, or moved.


So now you're FOR "censorship" as long as you approve of the censorship in question?


ok this is not a TOS violation but lets not argue please. Lets keep this constructive please.


Ok Ewok, no problem. I just wanted to make a point that now she was for censorship. I made my point though...nothing much left to say. Good job.

There is no such TOS violation whatsoever. You don't scare me devilette. Play your games. I said what you needed to be told and now I can run along to another thread.

You just got told.



You've come in here, insulted me and mocked my signature, Im quite sure that's a violation of TOS.


I didn't insult you. Where did I insult you? As for your signature, I don't see a rule that says I can't use yours and adapt it for my own purpose. By the way, who made you a mod to say the things you said IN your signature?


I guess I just don't understand what the big deal is about a censored post, really.


LOL I saw your avatar and could only think...."did I do that?"

Quit your whining will ya? By the way, there is no such thing as censorship on a messageboard. You don't have the right to freedom of speech on a messageboard to begin with. Cry me a river...

What are you talking about? Just because the Constitution doesn't cover VJ, doesn't mean that deleting posts isn't censorship.


What do you mean what am I talking about? I made it clear as day. Anyways, it's my opinion (based on fact). Please don't "censor" it. :innocent: lol

Based on what fact? Look up censorship in the dictionary. Yes, VJ has every right to censor posts, but that doesn't mean it isn't censorship.

Also your pointless and inflammatory post adds nothing to this discussion. Mods!!!


It's not censorship when you don't have the right to say what you want in the first place. You prove it with your last sentence. Even though I did nothing wrong. And I'll repeat what someone else said on the first page of this thread: The OP was inflammatory...along with being pointless.

Why is the current post not locked then, instead of censoring? There is no consistency here.

Yesterday post was locked 'by request of the OP' - no mention was made of 'closed for violating the TOS'. Yet the vicious attack made against me was a clear violation of at least 4 points in the TOS.

United KingdomUK posts being made invisible

The posts I made invisible today would have lead to a flaming of some kind. As a mod, it is my duty to try and avoid these issues happening where possible. If I can nip something in the bud, I will. Today's was a culmination of some issues in the UK forum that have gone on for a couple of days.

Both these topics were locked due to flaming. The same would have happened with this thread. I acted accordingly to avoid a similar thing happening again.

I'm sorry if people were offended by this, but I stand by my decision.

United KingdomHow long after NOA2 should you be back in uk ?
QUOTE (colinjess @ Jul 9 2008, 08:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hi there, how are you ??

i was wondering if anyone could help me, im a little confused!

we are doing the K1 option and i was thinking of visitng my fiancee while it is being processed ... what i am confused about is when should i be back in my country ( england) to do the next part of the visa after NOA2

i want to go for thanksgiving and christmas so we are trying to plan around this time! i looked and it said that if we send the I129f to VSC on the 1 aug or 1 sept it could be adjudicated by november 12 or december 7th,,,


so how soon after these dates would i be needed back in my native country!! because if it is soon after these dates we will send later on in the year !

Any help would be great!

also the divorce decree and birth cerificates??? can they just be photocopies of the originals for the I129f and i take the originals to the interview!!


thank you colin and jess


You are only needed in your country for the interview, the medical and to obtain the police reports. I would suggest looking at the timelines for your country in order to guestimate how quickly after receiving the NOA2 that your interview could be scheduled.

My fiance is in Brazil and his interview was scheduled approximately 3 months after the approval. It just depends on the country.

United KingdomImmigration Lawyers in London / Uk
QUOTE (kevin74uk @ Feb 22 2008, 08:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on good immigration lawyers based in the UK (preferably in London) who specialise in fiance or spouse visas to the USA.

Weighing up which visa is the best to apply for, work complications and other things seems to be a bit of a minefield and it would be good to sit down and speak to an expert. I have tried seeing if there are any fee helplines and came up blank and phoned one law firm picked from google who sounded competent but as they wanted to charge £300 for a consultation (and not actually processing anything), wanted to make sure that if it really does cost this much to get good legal advice I go to a receommended law firm.

Many Thanks



In all honesty, I thought there was no way I could do this myself and my fiance is fromt he United Kingdom, but you can. Visajourney.com has all the guides and people with personal experience to help. We thought about getting an attorney, but once we started reading the guides and asking questions we were able to do it ourselves. I'm sure there are good attorneys out there, but from what I've heard it is just a waste of time and money and you would be better off doing it yourself. Good luck to you!!!

United KingdomNightmare about Interview
QUOTE (Eli the Barrowboy @ May 22 2008, 05:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The pressure is getting to me folks ...

I had a dream last night that I forgot something to take to the interview. I got into the Embassy Ok but couldn't get through into the next area where the interviews were taking place because I didn't have said document. I was thinking "all I need to do is get in there and I'm sorted". It was like one of those dreams where you are running but can't get anywhere and feel helpless.

I didn't think I was THAT stressed out about it ...

R



I had the exact same dreams, that I'd get there and they'd tell me I'd forgotten something, and would get a big fat denied. I must have checked a thousand times the week before that I had everything, and in the end it turned out that I took way more stuff than I needed.

You will be fine. I'm a terrible worrier and really wind myself up about everything, and my interview was fine. I was only in the embassy about an hour, everyone was really friendly...

Good Luck, and easier said than done but try not to worry smile.gif

United KingdomWhy USA and not UK?
QUOTE (BMJ @ May 18 2008, 07:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just curious for all those who are from the UK why you are choosing to move to the USA instead of your fiance' moving to join you in the USA.
Mark (Xaos) have talked about him moving here vrs us moving there. The main reason for us is me having kids and it would be hard to uproot them. However, because he makes more at his job than I do at mine, we have also talked about the possibility of us moving there if our co-sponsor falls through.
Why are you guys choosing USA over UK?
And if we would have to switch to trying to move to the UK, is there a good website we can look at and is there an income guideline like there is for the USA?
Thanks!


We chose the US for a few reasons:
1. I had already lived there for a year, and therefore knew what to expect, and well as having made my own friends there, versus him just having visited the UK for a few weeks, a couple of times.

2. House prices being a whole lot cheaper.

3. At the time he was more established in his career, and I had just finished university so wasn't going to have to leave my career.

4. Some family issues on his part...he's a very home-y type and while he would be willing to move for me, it would be a lot harder for him, he's never lived anywhere but the town he was born in, whereas I have.

Those were the main reasons for us, but we aren't against ever switching and living in the UK.

QUOTE (Converse34 @ Feb 5 2008, 11:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So how is it they we all came to meet our fiance(e)s/Spouses from the US/UK? I'm thinking a lot of people met online, but I bet just as many hadn't. I met must husband at a party when I was a student in Manchester.


I moved to Indiana for a years work placement/internship as part of my degree. After two weeks I decided I needed a US cell phone, went to the mall, went in every phone place there, and finally decided to get one from the last place. I was in the store ages and talking to the three guys in there, J was apparently chatting me up but I didn't realise blush.gif After I got my phone he told me that if I needed someone to hang out with or show me around (cheesy but it worked) to give him a call.

A few days later we went on our first date, and were inseperable for the remainder of the year pretty much.

Got engaged after 11 months, 2 months later I had to come back to the UK to do my final year of my degree, and two years after finishing my degree I am finally getting to move back to IN on Sunday biggrin.gif

United KingdomDual Citizenship
Hi all, quick question. My wife (from the UK) and I were thinking about obtaining Dual Citizenship for her but wanted to know if anyone has any details. When we asked during our interview we were told it was impossible. Instead of asking why (we were approved and didn't want to rock the boat) we decided to just accept her answer.

Any help, would be greatly appreciated!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Uk Waiver club 601/212, List for uk waivers sign up!
Hi cmltdg,

Yes we are putting right along. He was still tired this morning and he said his feet hurt from all the walking around yesterday trying to kill some time before his appointment. He took some pictures for me and found out where the embassy was so it would be easier for him next month.
I think we are ready for the interview. I think that now but I'm sure I'll be doing the last minute check right before. lol I took the I-601 form and letter over with me and left it with him so I think I'm ok with that also.

The trip was great. Didn't have enough time to get everything done that we wanted but we gave it our best shot. lol We got up every morning ate breakfast then was gone until dark everyday I was there. My favorite part was driving up the coast and we visited the areas where his mom and dad were raised. I got a picture of the church his mom and dad were married and I'm going to get it enlarged and framed. I'm going to do that with several of the pictures I took so he will have something to make him feel more at home when he gets here. I have one whole wall in my dining room I can cover with pictures. :D
The plane ride home wasn't the best but other than that everything went really well.

How are things going on your end. Doesn't seem to be much chit chat going on in here lately. lol

Thanks for asking,

Thanks for the wishes cmltdg,

Yeah he's always come over here. He didn't qualify for a passport because of his cimt but they did grant him a visitor visa. He applied in Belfast but they forward it to London and they reviewed it and approved him for the visa. I hope that's a good sign even though I know it has nothing to do with receiving an immigrate visa. I'm very excited to be going to meet his family for the first time. I want to meet the ones responsible for raising such a wonderful man. I'm sure you family will also be so excited to meet the man who has made you so very happy. They will be able to see the person who has brought so much happiness to you and why you are so willing to fight to be together.

Yes he has to fly over twice. I did email the embassy and request his interview the same day as his medical but after we thought about it , we decided it would be cutting it too close trying to make it to both in one day. I was surprised that the embassy seemed willing to work with us and I do think they were going to give us the date we requested but at the last minute we explained our concern and ask for May. His sister has decided to go with him and shop while he's at the embassy so at least he will have some company since I can't be there. That should calm his nerves down a bit. Well I hope it will.

Everyone please keep posting on here. That's what we are all here for. It hurts so bad when we hear of someone receiving bad news. Yes It makes us wonder and worry about our own fate but most of all it makes us realize just how much we need each other to get through this part of the process. If we didn't share and experience this together then where would any of us be? There isn't a lot of information on this part of the process. Heck a few months ago I was totally clueless. I know a little bit more than I did in the beginning but if we don't share our knowledge then how else would we find out?

Well sorry for going on. I usually don't say much on here but I had to put my two cents in. Let us all stick and work together, stay positive and try our best to help those who are having a hard time.


Oh and keep your fingers crossed for me............... I'm suppose to be at the airport on Wednesday morning for my flight and we are having a hugh snow storm tonight. Well for here it's hugh. :lol: They are saying up to 10 inches. I guess I'll have to get the dog sled out. lol

Well we got our interview date for May 5th. That will be the big day to file our waiver. I do hope that everyone hears something positive soon. I'm going to try to keep a positive attitude and a stiff upper lip. I'm not giving up until we are shot down cold.

So what am I missing here? What is the new policy or procedure with the waiver? Are you talking about them being sent back to the us for approval? If so, does anyone have or seen anything in writing from the embassy? Just wondering.

Well I take off Wednesday for N. Ireland. I get to spend a short week with my fiance. First time for me, soooooo excited to be going.

Sorry to hear about your denial. Sounds like your keeping a positive attitude and planning to keep things going in a positive direction. I'm sure I have no idea how hard it is to receive such a life altering decision but hopefully you can work through it and keep trying. I'm sure you will do a much better job filing again on your own.

Hi cmltdg,

Don't know if you noticed but I think it says that only the waivers filed after Feb are on the new tracking system. Yours was filed before that i think so you wouldn't be on there. It does still seem strange that there are so few listed even if it only list waivers filed after that time.

Well I was happy for a minute. I received an email from London stating our interview was for May 6th 2006 at 10:30 am. (we requested May) Then I realized that May 6th is on a Saturday. I think there is a mistake since I thought the embassy only took appointments from Monday to Friday. I guess we will wait and see what the letter says when we get it. May have just been a typo.

Hello there,

I've been peeking in here off and on just not much to say. I'm a bit aggrivated at the moment. I sent London an email requesting our interview the same day as our medical so he wouldn't have to make two trips. Because we put a travel date of October (because of the waiver) they said he can't have that date because fiance visa's are only good for 6 months and he would need a later date for the visa to still be valid in October. Now I have to send an email to explain this. grrrrrrrrrrr Never get ahead with this system. lol


I don't blame you Paul. I would be dying of curiosity also. Makes you want to run over there, grab the documents, and run them upstairs for them. lol I'm not a very patient person but I've been doing ok so far. I'm sure it will be a different story as soon as we finally get to file the waiver.


Yeah Misty, I've been reading some of your post on immigrate2us. I kind of snickered when I was reading about your packing expieriences. The sweeper and the plastic bags was a pretty good idea. lol
You will be so excited when you finally get on that plane to come home. I'm sure you will be beaming from head to toe.

Have a great day,

Hi cmltdg

I really don't know what the OF-221. I bet it's either what you said or maybe a form that the officer at the embassy has to fill out and send in with your waiver. Hard to tell. I tried doing a search for it but there are a few pages missing where I've been looking. I think they are revising them right now or something.

You will be fine and I'm sure everything will work out. We just need to get a stick to chew on or to beat someone with . :lol:

It's all so stinking confusing.

You have a good weekend too. I just found out yesterday I have to go to Detroit for work on Monday and Tuesday. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I did NOT want to go but the plant manager asked me to. Can't say no to that unless your just stupid. lol

N9 Waiver Availability for Applicants Ineligible under INA 212(a)

A K visa is a nonimmigrant visa, and therefore K nonimmigrants are generally eligible for INA 212(d)(3)(A) waivers. However, processing an INA 212(d)(3)(A) waiver would not be appropriate unless an immigrant waiver is also available when the K visa holder applies to adjust status to legal permanent resident. To determine whether a waiver is available for a K applicant, the consular officer must therefore first examine whether the particular INA 212(a) ineligibility is waivable for immigrant spouses of American citizens, under either INA 212(g), (h), (i), 212(a)(9)(B)(v), 212(d)(11) or (12) or similar provisions. [For a more complete list, see the abridged list of ineligibilities and immigrant waivers at 40.6.]

N9.1 Visa Refusal-No Waiver Possible

[size=3]If the K visa applicant is ineligible for a visa on an INA 212(a) ground for which no immigrant waiver is or would be possible after marriage to the petitioner, then the case should not be recommended for an INA 212(d)(3)(A) waiver and no waiver request should be submitted to BCIS. [See 22 CFR (9 FAM) 40.301.
N9.2 INA 212(d)(3)(A) Waiver for K-1 Fiance(e) Who Would Qualify for a Waiver if Married, or for K-3 Spouse

a. If it is determined that the K visa applicant is ineligible to receive a visa under INA 212(a) but that the ineligibility could be waived after (or as a result of the) marriage to the petitioner, the consular officer should assist the applicant in completing Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability, and submit simultaneously both the Form I-601 (with the required fee) and Form OF-221, Two-way Visa Action Request & Response, to the appropriate BCIS office abroad with the recommendation concerning the granting of an INA 212(d)(3)(A) waiver. (If the case involves a K-1 fiance(e), before beginning that waiver process the consular officer should first satisfy him/herself that the petitioner was or is aware of the ineligibility and still wishes to pursue the marriage. If not, the petition should be returned to BCIS and no waiver process commenced.) Consular officers should follow this same general procedure whether the ineligibility is on medical or non-medical bases, while taking into account any variant procedure required in certain medical cases as set forth in 22 CFR 40.11 PN2.

b. When an alien fiance(e) of a person in the U.S. military has been found ineligible and it appears that the benefits of INA 212(h) or (i) might be available once the marriage has taken place, the consular officer should discuss the ineligibility and the waiver possibility with the military officer responsible for granting permission to marry, and point out that BCIS cannot make advance determinations regarding a waiver.

N10 Vaccination Requirements for K Visa Applicants [See 41.108 Notes]

N11 Alternative Classification

The inclusion of INA 101(a)(15)(K) in the nonimmigrant classifications is not intended to prohibit an alien fiance(e) of a U.S. citizen from applying for and obtaining an immigrant visa or a nonimmigrant visa under another classification, if the alien can qualify for an alternative classification. For example, an alien proceeding to the United States to marry a U.S. citizen may be classified B-2, if it is established that following the marriage the alien will depart from the United States. [See Sec. 41.31 N11.1.]

N12 Child of Alien K-1 Fiance(e)

BCIS and the Department have agreed that the child of a K-1 principal alien may be accorded K-2 status if following to join the principal alien in the United States even after the principal alien has married the American citizen fiance(e), and acquired lawful permanent resident status. However, the cutoff date for issuance of a K-2 visa is one year from the date of the issuance of the K-1 visa to the principal alien. After one year, and provided that the alien qualifies, the filing of an immediate relative or second preference petition would be required.

Well I'm not defending them by no means and the exceptional processing comments is a little hard to swallow when your the one waiting but I do know that other countries actually wait for 15 months and longer in some cases. I don't buy the comment making it sound like every time you email it slows the process down. Good grief if they don't want to answer the emails then how hard is it to just delete them. Sounds like someone doesn't like doing their job. Why would they even have an email service if they find it so difficult to reply.


Oh well,
Baileyj

Good morning Mary,

I feel bad that you didn't receive a more informative answer from them. I don't think you should worry about making them mad about emailing. I doubt the person who answers the emails even checks on the statis of the waiver. I think it's just a standard email trying discourage people from reqesting infromation. I doubt the person who is reviewing your waiver even knows you emailed and it won't have any affect on the outcome. I'm sure you will receive news sooner than 15 weeks. They just say that to try to keep people from asking about it.

I know it's flustrating, but keep your chin up and try to keep positive (as much as you can) Just think of how exciting it will be when you get that call saying you have been approved.

Best Wishes,
Baileyj

found this on the uscis website under New Immigration Policy and Procedural Memoranda. Thought it was interesting. Maybe not but it's here if you want to have a look.

Nigel...........Well I wouldn't know how they would get your number on here unless you have given it out to some people on here. Maybe she was just off a number. I wouldn't worry unless you keep getting strange phone calls.



cmltdg....... Thanks for the wishes. Yeah we seem to be moving right along. So far i'm just sitting back and taking things as they come. We have told ourselves that he probably won't be here until around October of this year. I'm leaving 3 months for the waiver and he will need a couple of months to get things situated before he comes. I keep telling myself that we are not going to rush through this and we are going to be patient but it just drives you nuts knowing you are waiting on something. :D I worry about my letter. I think it's ok but there is always doubt in my mind. I'm trying to help him with his now and It seems to be more difficult for me than mine was. Trying to use mine with more details and just hitting on the topics on his. My doctor just wrote me a note on a prescription pad and I'm wondering if I should use that or go back and insist she write something more professional. Oh well in the end all any of us can do is our best. I'll keep my fingers and everything else I can get crossed for everyone waiting.
Besides you guys all need to get approved so we will have a clean shot when It's our turn. :lol: Just kidding just wishing all of you the best.

have a good evening

Hi Paul

I read a while back that it was best to send your email late in the evening. That way it comes up towards the top of the list the next day. I send mine that way and received an email back the very next morning. Good luck on getting a straight answer. All they gave me was the run around.


Good luck,
Baileyj

Well cmltdg all I can say is that I've been on this site and immigrate2us.net since about April of last year. I have never seen a denial from London. If there has been they didn't come back on to say so. I hope by saying that it doesn't jinx anything. I don't know why that is. I have seen several rejections from other countries but so far not London. Lets keep hoping it stays that way.

Welcome aboard SimonandJulie,

We aren't the most popular bunch but we are pretty peaceful. :lol: We are still waiting on our packet 3 (postal strike in N. Ireland) :angry: but hopefully he will get it in the next week or so.

Sorry to hear what your step sons are going through. It must be really hard for them.




Hope things go well with you and yours.

Wow so sorry to hear that Paul. I've been trolling on here and the other site for several months now and this is the first time I've heard of them asking for another G325a form to be filled out. Maybe it's time to throw another twist in there since people are starting to figure things out. :angry: I have seen when some of the personnel moves around, they start asking for different things. Maybe they have a new person doing the waivers. ???


Hang in there

Hi Misty,

Yes I kind of feel that they don't like for people to know about the waiver. The information that you can find is burried very deep and takes a lot of search to find anything. The second time I replied and ask again for the information, the person wrote back and ask for my case number and if I had been denied. Then they would answer my question. I just let it drop. For some reason it creeped me out why they needed this information just to answer a simple question.



Hi Nigel,

Yes I saw this post on the other site. I don't know how she got the approval so quick but it did sound like she might have had a little help somehow or she had a slam dunk letter. Would be interesting to see her letter just to see what was so convencing that it only took a short time to get approved. But hey, good for anyone who gets through this quick!

Have a great day

Baileyj

Morning Paul

Yeah I think we will be using the debit card. A bit of a sheltered child here and I wasn't sure how that would work. :lol:

Hummm that's interesting that they ask you how you knew about the I-601. Hope you didn't let the cat out of the bag :P I've seen on here that some of the staff at some of the embassies read this forum. Kind of makes you feel like "big brother" is watching us. lol

Thanks for the info,

Baileyj
