I haven't seen Lars since January 13th and likely won't see him again until I go over for the interveiw. I am so ready for this to be done. I've warned everyone - don't expect to see us for a while!

This from the Nostradamus of the group? laughing.gif

I have no idea why I used that term. Lack of sleep.............


There is nothing wrong with that term... I was never a English Major or anything... but I think it is 'legal' smile.gif

I was an English Major and it's a great word!!

Prognosticate - meaning to forecast or predict. Usually associated with fortune telling, reading tea leaves and predicting the weather (the weather bit added by me). I'm pretty nerdy sometimes.....it pays to enrich your word power!

I actually had a dream over the weekend that someone said the approvals would be flying after the middle of May. One of those fuzzy dreams where I don't recall the details. But I'm hoping it proves prognostic!!

All the young 'uns in our group are scratching their heads and wondering......prognostic, what is that? rofl.gif

Welcome to the group, Kayse! The waiting stinks, but it's great to be able to share the experience and draw strength from others. These timelines moving the wrong way are driving me batty. I need to find more to occupy my time. However, in light of Missy's experience, I'm delaying plans that involve ladders and leaves.


Well despite the rain, I managed to pull and spray 2 of my 4 garden beds and plant some grass seed this weekend. I bought some photo frames and will work on photos later today or maybe next weekend. Its a dreary weekend in Atlanta with all the rain, but we need it so I won't complain (too much) smile.gif

Richard

I am at open house today - yucky weather and only two tire-kickers out so far. You guys in Atlanta need the rain. It will take awhile to recover from the drought you've had there. And speaking of Marietta - we LOVE white water park!!! And the yellow river deer park....I think that's the name of the place.


Well, speaking about plans to keep our minds occupied... I didnt knit since I was 16, now I have about 10 new scarfs and no yarn left in the house!!! lol!!! lets all visualize everything speeds up and we finally get to be reunited with our loved ones....
Have a beautiful week everyone!!!! good.gif


A fellow knitter!! I am SO excited to know this. I taught myself to knit a few years ago and this past year I have knit so many things. Right now I'm working on Christmas Stockings. We have to trade pictures of our knitting! (as you guys can see, I am really excited about this!)

I am not fond of snakes, I can assure you! But, where I live, it's fairly mild year round and we do have plenty. They are pretty good at hiding and I don't usually see them too much. Maybe this one will spread the word to stay away from the crazy woman on a ladder!

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to VisaJourney. Just discovered my fellow March filers! We received NOA1 on March 18th and received one touch on March 25th. Now... just like everyone else... we wait for NOA2.

I noticed a number of Atlanta people here. I'm the same. My fiance is from the Netherlands.

Good luck to everyone. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one struggling to wait patiently.

Welcome!! My fiance is from Denmark and while we don't live in Atlanta, we do like to go there often! Good luck. Has anyone else noticed the timelines seem to be moving in the right direction again? S L O W L Y....but moving!

Who wants to hear what happened to me today while I was working in my yard?? I was traumatized and had a near death experience!!


I was working in my yard today, cut the grass, trimmed some things, edged....and it started raining. I could see that my gutters needed cleaning out so I decided to go ahead and do that too, I was already dirty and wet....

I drug the ladder out, got started and was almost finished, I had the last handful of wet leaves in my hands when the whole thing started wiggling. I had picked up a snake in the middle of the last handful of wet leaves and sticks..... I don't know who was scared and surprised more, me or the snake. I was so shocked I couldn't turn loose of him at first and we just kind of stared at each other until I could get it together and let go of it all.

I'm not a scaredy cat or anything but I really don't like snakes. I avoid them. We have an agreement, I leave them alone and they leave me alone. They have clearly broken our agreement and I can promise you this - no more gutter cleaning out for me. I'll hire someone to do it next time.

That depends on your income and how many people in your household.
Click ----> HERE and see the guidelines.

As for documentation - tax returns and W2 info definately. I have a copy of the deed to our house, a letter from our bank about when we established our joint account, how much we deposited in the last 12 months, a list of assets and of course the tax returns. Hope this helps. For most, if you are younger, you probably just need the tax stuff and if your income is belove the poverty guidelines you will need a co-sponsor.

Missy, what is 'too many times?' how do they define that.. and what difference does it make how many times? Sometimes I really don't understand why we do things...

They (the US Embassy in Warsaw) did not want to give my SO a tourist visa either after filing the 129f... but they gave her one! It wasn't easy, but they did.

Confused and bored to tears.

Okay - "too many times" is all in the eyes of the Border Patrol Officer. In our case, he had been back and forth at least 6 times in 2008. 90 days here and then a few weeks back in CPH and then 90 days here....and so on. When he landed in JFK and he was taken to "the back room" they asked if they could look at his laptop, they found a resume with our Jackson address on it. They asked to see his wallet and his AAA card, library card, bank card, Kroger card.....all of the things that we have and never think about.....and they made the decision that he was trying to immigrate illegally and sent him home to get a visa.

My mother is dying and we aren't sure how long she will hang on and she had been asking how long before he's back, so....I asked him to see if he could get a tourist visa to come on back and see her. He went to the embassy and explained. They were very sympathetic but said they just do not issue tourist visas if a K visa is in process, period. He could have told them just about anything but opted for the truth. Now we just wait and hope it goes fast and he can make it back in time.

Sorry to give you too many details but....the back story sort of explains why we asked for the visa.

I had thought about going over this month to visit and going to the embassy and talking to them about the situation here but, I hate leaving the country right now and being so far away from everyone with all of this going on and I am going for the interview. I feel that we are so close to the end now and it was a tough decision but we decided to save the money and stick where we are right now and not do a lot of unnecessary travel.

Missy,

I have to ask, why did he go to the consulate in Denmark to apply for the tourist visa when usually Danes just have to get on the plane and not worry about a tourist visa? I ask because Janus is flying to America end of May to see me for one week. He came also end of March and was granted entry...


Go to one of the first pages of this thread and the whole story is there. Here is short version - Lars flew back and forth for almost 2 years using VWP and last October he was coming back and denied entry. He cannot use the Visa Waiver anymore and has to have a Visa to get into the U.S. now. It won't affect our application at all but it's damn inconvenient right now because he can't get back until we get the K1. We bought a house, establshed a life, sort of. Anyway, long story short, we were so stupid about things and had to learn and catch up and now we are almost through with this separation! YAY!!!


At the Embassy in Copenhagen they were very specific about when to do the medical and to NOT do it ahead of time. I know other countries will allow it, Denmark does not. Other than that, I think everything else is pretty much the same. I wanted Lars to go ahead and get it done now, so we'd be that much ahead of the game but they will not give him the list of approved physicians until Packet 3 and were very adamant about it.

Hey y'all,

I have a few questions that I would like someone/everyone to try to answer, because it's hard to get a straight answer from my lawyer and I'm so frustrated I'm about to start crying.

1. After we get the NOA2 in the mail, does anyone have a check list for what exactly the petitioner needs to give the fiance abroad? So far I have this: Copy of the 1-129F package, originals of doc proof that we submitted with I-129F, original letter affirming desire to marry Janus once again, I-134 Affidavit of Support form, pay stubs, signed letter from my employer, copy of the NOA2, and proof of ongoing relationship. IS THERE ANYTHING I AM MISSING?

2. What is the Packet 3? My lawyer says he is the one who will receive this because he is our 'agent'; the Danish consulate website says we should have put my fiance as our 'agent' so we don't lose time for the packet to be sent abroad to the american 'agent' and then back overseas. It makes me upset my lawyer didn't tell us this from the beginning, because obviously time is valuable. And with all of this back and forth mailing overseas, this will be time lost.

3. Is the K-1 a non immigration visa or an immigrant visa? My lawyer keeps using both terms and I am really confused.

I hope everyone is having a good week. We just gotta keep the faith!!! Thanks everyone...


Good morning!
Lars went to the Embassy in Copenhagen last week to appy for a tourist visa - and was denied. For those that are going to ask, he was told that once a K Visa has been applied for, they NEVER issue tourist visas or any other kind of visa until the K visa has been decided on. No reason why, just they don't do that. That's not how they roll.....

But, while he was there he talked to someone that was VERY helpful and he went ahead and registered himself as the agent. I suggest that your fiance go ahead and do that as well. From what I understand, your attorney does NOT have to be the agent and you are very correct, this will save a lot of time if your fiance is the agent and not the attorney.

In Packet 3 will be the approved list of physicians for his medical exam and links to the forms he has to fill out and a list of what you will need to send him for the interview.

She said that packet 3 will be emailed to him once they receive the docs from NVC. I already sent him a copy of the complete application and have the other stuff ready. I will be going over for the interview so I plan on just taking everything else. I hope this helps a little. I am sure that there are a lot of experts out there that have already been through this that can give more information.

I wish some of the other Danish/American couples that have been through this would write a review or post some information, it would be so helpful.

Missy, I have taken into account the duplicates and have factored some of the long overdue petitions to smooth the numbers a little. I also removed the expedites as they skew the numbers a little. I think the short answer is yes, these will change the crystal ball list somewhat, but since I designed this spreadsheet as more of a time killer and to help understand the numbers better I don't think it will change anything dramatically. I did not know about the ones that were approved but hadn't updated things yet or the withdrawal. But, I don't think it will effect much either... but I will take a look and see what happens.

Thanks! I'm a little embarassed that I have sat this morning and clicked all of those little buttons and then made a list.....I can't help it.

Hey Richard, it's not like I'm obsessing over this or anything like that, not at all...but

I was looking at the older people waiting for approval and here is what I found:

#'s 24, 69, and 115 already have been approved they just haven't updated their timeline.

#'s 4 and 5 are duplicates
#'s 94 and 95 are duplicates
#84 was withdrawn

I stopped when I got to December - those are now being approved and I am sure they are all watching their timelines more than we are! Did you know this and how will it affect YOUR list? I wonder how it will affect Igor's list.....what do you think?

Missy,

I have to agree with you. The average # of days currently is increasing as the VSC is approving older petitions which of course makes the average go higher. Over the long haul (which I consider me to be in since I am a March filer) the average will smooth out. The crystal ball maintains it's position. smile.gif

As for what's cooking... I have some Jerk Pork Chops marinating for the grill tonight, topped with a pineapple, mango, avocado salsa and coconut rice. You're welcome to come!

If I lived even a little bit closer, I'd be there!

My oldest sone graduated from culinary school, my youngest son is going to culinary school and they learned to love cooking from me but.....living alone again and working the hours I do, it's difficult to find time to get creative like that and I miss it! But, for tonight, I am happy to report that I had some wild salmon in the freezer and am marinating that for the grill, wish I had some of that salsa and coconut rice......BIG SIGH!

So, what's cooking with all of ya'll today? Lots of good things happening?

Hi Everyone,

My fiance and I are waiting just as patiently as all of you, and I apologize for being quiet until now. I am just getting very anxious. Here is our story:

He is an Indian citizen, but has been in the UK since 2002. His student visa expires in July, so he will be returning to India by the end of July (if no NO2). As a result, the consulate that we have selected is Delhi, India. Does anyone think that this will create a longer process? I have hired an attorney to file for us, so I do not expect that there are any issues with our application. Any advice or support would be appreciated. Feel free to message me personally or respond to this thread.

Thanks,
Kam

Hi and welcome! Glad you are with us. I hope someone can advise you on your worries.....I have no idea but wish you lots of luck!

Missy,

I work on Wall Street... and am often asked questions that are answered with a very opinionated answer. Being how I have a sarcastic sense of humor, I have kept a Crystal Ball on my desk for years... and when clients ask these kinds of question, I tell them to hold on while I look into my crystal ball... smile.gif

That's funny because in my business, when people ask me should they buy a house now, will it increase in value, is it the right decision I ask them to hang on a minute while I consult my Magic 8 Ball

Well, I will work on the document some more... e.g. get the weekends out.... the Crystal Ball date, in case you haven't read the February thread is just from the Crystal Ball I have on my desk. I consult her often.

I thought that it was "magic 8 ball"

Missy,

I wondered that myself... so I did some looking... it appears from my first glance that there were 3 new additions to our March family. As soon as I can dig a little deeper I might have a better number. It is a real pain to download and import the data the way it is... I should write a macro... hmmm, maybe I will.

I am glad you had such a nice weekend... and also that you have a sale...

Richard's March List.....has a nice ring to it....I like the way it sounds.


Missy, here is the March list smile.gif

Thank you obi wan kenobi - it's wonderful. I can't believe that there are 74 of us.....

Happy Monday my March family.... smile.gif Looking at Igor, last week wasn't a total loss after all... smile.gif

Here's hoping for a better week, this week.

Missy, any of those showing turning into sales? How was the bay? I am envious!

Strega, feel free to bang all the pots and pans you want to wake me up... I don't sleep much anyway smile.gif

Hey!! I'm back in Jackson now and yes, one showing did turn into a sale but we have to sell their house first. Lots going on in real estate these days, I am swamped with work and I love it!! The bay was amazing, my mom has ALS and this is most likely her last mother's day so we all gathered and sat around and ate, drank and told stories and managed to do some fishing too. Beautiful weather, it was a great weekend. I hope all of the mothers here had as glorious a weekend as I had.

I noticed some new approvals, do you think this means things are getting ready to speed up?? I hope so.

P.S. Richard, oh wise and wonderful number guru and wizard (flattering enough??)
Why are there new approvals but the estimated time keeps moving back? We were at July 13th the other day, back to the 15th, now on the 14th.....
