K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	QUOTE (AmyStan @ May 6 2009, 09:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm right there with you, Missy. I wonder if they aren't worried about quotas. If they do too many one month, they'll be expected to do that many next month. Venting is totally cool as far as I am concerned. If anyone gives you the "I waited blah blah blah" and basically "stop whining" (It's usually the same people who post things like that) - then what I do is go check their early posts and see what they were doing at the same time in the process. It can be pretty entertaining. I adore you! I read those too and you are so right about the entertainment factor. And I thought I was the only one that did that!	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-05-06 09:54:00

I seems, after looking at the data, there is a trend in early May that approvals seems to stop until the 10th-13th. Obviously I don't know why, but maybe they are processing other things? They pick up after the 10th... go figure.... KFC yum... I made Polish Zurek and am having that for lunch... I made extra... OK, I made a gallon extra, so I will share If I only knew what Polish Zurek was.....sigh....let me google that and I'll let you know if it's something I can make a run to ATL for. Edit - googled it and HEY!! We had something like that when we were in Russia. Very delicious! I have to show a few houses today and am listing one this afternoon or I'd make a road trip!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	I am NOT complaining, really. But, when you look at the approvals ---->HERE<---- Does it feel like there are maybe 4 or 5 old ladies in some dark and dusty room, smoking, drinking coffee and playing solitaire on their computers and not even looking at our files??? Don't they have more than a few people working there? Shouldn't they be able to turn over more than one or two per week???? And, I'm not talking about January even.....I just wish ANYONE would get approved....anyone that's filed in the last year! Okay, you can all go back to whatever you were doing, I feel better now. Just needed a personal moment to vent. On a happier note, I downloaded the Oprah coupon for free KFC grilled chicken today and I'm blowing the diet and eating KFC!!!	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-05-06 09:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	QUOTE (AmyStan @ May 5 2009, 08:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like our math basically agrees, Missy. I am thinking about the same timeframe. Although I try to tell myself it'll be mid-July, I can't help but think it should be late June. Glad to hear you're staying busy. If real estate is starting to move again, that's great news for all of us! Here in Jackson, we are very lucky - we haven't been hit as hard as some of the other markets. But, having said that - yesterday we pulled the numbers for the last three years, by month and yearly totals and we could see the move up and then down and now back up again. First quarter 2009 has been awful but it's slowly creeping up. When people start buying houses again, consumer confidence starts going up and that helps everyone. Now, if we can just get Fox and MSNBC on board and convince them to stop with the doom and gloom.....	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-05-05 09:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	QUOTE (AmyStan @ May 5 2009, 08:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm starting to get the idea that they enter a worst case date in the beginning and then adjust closer to a more realistic date, so folks don't get overly hopeful of a fast process from the outset. But just my thoughts. My date has been slowly getting closer as well, but don't see how that can be based on the most recent numbers. Even considering last Thursday's success, the number for the week wasn't very impressive. Based on the average approval days that I have seen for most of the January filers so far.....it's about 105 days, I had already estimated that we should receive NOA2 sometime around end of June, first of July....so I'm good. I was just counting up the days and it's only 67 more days until July 12th and I don't know about the rest of you guys, lately time seems to be flying by here! I have a ton of stuff to do before Lars comes home again and the real estate market is picking up (I'm a realtor) so I've been BUSY!	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-05-05 08:44:00

There are probably fewer weeks remaining until the NOA2 than months you've been apart. Try to talk to her and see if she will come around. We all go through periods of burn-out during this waiting game, and it would be a shame to quit when the finish line is in sight. If you love her, fight to keep her. And if she still insists on ending the relationship, at least you'll know you did your part. Also, if you can't work this out, it could be for the best in the long-run since there will always be difficulty in any relationship. Best of luck and let us know how it goes. Stan said everything I wanted to say, just better. He's rght. As a girl....sometimes that is what I wanted to hear - I won't let go, I won't give up. This may be just what she needs to hear right now.	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-07-07 15:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 k-1 people	I talked to a supervisor at the NVC yesterday, trying to get answers to questions about changing our embassy for the interview. She told me that she has been seeing applications coming in from all different dates in the month. I just mentioned to her that we had filed in late March and she said it made no difference what day of the month we filed, it was all dependent on who gets our file. She told me to call them at least two times a day, morning and again in the afternoon, starting NOW, to check if they have our file yet. For us, to change to the Embassy in Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo, we need to catch it before it goes to Copenhagen. She said that I could call as many times a day as I wanted, they didn't keep track of who calls or how many times. I mention this because a bunch of the February filers were calling and suprised to find out that their applications had been sent to the NVC and they hadn't even received the NOA2 yet. The supervisor I talked to was extremely helpful but I had to ask to talk to someone else. The first person I got on the phone was less than helpful and basically read from a script. I had to ask her if there was ANYONE there that could just answer a few questions - that's when I was handed off to the supervisor. Just in case someone else needs to know how to change their embassy....I have to call and catch the file before it goes to Copenhagen and once they have it I have to email them a copy of Lars' visa for Congo, his work authorization and address. They in turn send it on to Brazzaville. IF I don't catch it in time, then I have to contact the embassy in Brazaville and they request that it be sent to them from CPH. No matter what, she recommended that I notify Brazzaville that it's coming as soon as we know that it's been approved and sent to NVC. The biggest problem we will have in all of this is scheduling the interview. Brazzaville just re-opened their embassy in January 2009 and they are a tiny, tiny place. The supervisor thinks it may take months to get an interview. I didn't tell Lars or my familhy that....yet. An entire wedding was planned for Thanksgiving.....geez, I hope we make it! Ya'll have a great Tuesday!!	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-07-07 08:35:00

It's complicated but.....that's life! So you'll get married in the states, get the AP, he goes to the Congo, and you follow later - is that right? Sounds like a plan. And I understand complicated. It looks like Amy will have some extra steps before the interview. But on a positive note, we found out about it now so we can get it started rather than waiting until the NOA2. If it was easy, anybody could do it............ I just talked to the NVC to get clarification about what exactly we need to do, they are VERY nice there. Yes, you are right, if it was easy, everyone would be doing this! We hope for a November wedding but....we'll see.

Remember, a lot of people on Visa Journey don't know what they're talking about (shocking I know They are not professional legal help. Just remember that. There are some wonderful things about Visa Journey, but sometimes there are too many (amateur) cooks in the kitchen if you know what I mean. I know exactly what you mean!	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-06-23 16:11:00

Wow, that was unexpected! All will work out, I just know it! VERY unexpected. I had posted a question just in the general K1 forum but the one answer I got makes it seem hopeless for right now.

The correct answer now is of course YES (because they see it on the screen when they scan the passport). Our lawyer prepared us for this though, so just a heads up to anyone whose love is coming over to visit. Missy- are you going to Africa? So he made it in okay, no problems? I bet you had a wonderful visit!! I am so jealous! Yes, I'll go to Africa.....but not right away. I hope to go with Lars in August to help him get settled there and to see everything but my mom is terminally ill and I can't move over there right now. This has put a kink in all of our plans. We are going ahead with the K1 and hopefully we will be married in November. Every third month he gets to travel anywhere he wants, paid for by his employer. Maybe next year I will move over there......it's exciting and scary all at the same time! I wonder, does this mean I get to join the MENA forum???	missmissy	Female	Denmark	2009-06-23 08:22:00
