offtopic45vn.gif I have some news - You may not know this but I still own the house my ex and I lived in. I have had a tenant in it (super long and angry story) but have had it for sale since May. I got an offer in today!!! Do you know what this means??? It means that I will soon be out of the landlord business, it means that I will soon have NO reason whatsoever to speak to my exhusband except in matters concerning our three grown children, it means freedom from his snotty and snide remarks forever!!!

Okay - Off-Topic2.gif

Thank you guys for putting up with me.

WOW. Now that is exciting news!!!! Let's party!!!!

Since I am still taking meds for my stomach ulcers....no martinis right now. BUT - I swear to you, if I could have one (or 3), we'd all be at Bonefish right now sipping our drinks at the bar. Nothing makes a martini taste better than selling a house!!

Not too much activity today yet...weird!

Sorry to hear about the RFE Carl. Hope you get the hardcopy in the mail soon so you can fix it asap and get it moving again.

April seems to be getting quite a bit of attention! Hoping they don't forget about the rest of us still in March diablo.gif diablo.gif diablo.gif

There is still time in the day though wink.gif eb0dfafc.gif

yes they do and there are 73 more of my March family still waiting. Normally at 50% in the current month they start the next... but slowly.. April seems to be in full gear... and although I am happy for them.... I am really angry at the USCIS!!

Here, use these! Someone special let me borrow them earlier today!

You always know what to say to make me feel better. Actually, I'm okay with it. I am putting so much pressure on myself about this, it's ridiculous.

EDIT: Love sick that is!


I have to agree with you! My question for today is this - once we get past this, what will we do with ourselves? This has occupied a huge part of my life now for MONTHS! Will we need 12 step meetings? A support group? A "step-down" program?

I probably would have done the same thing. So much rests on the ALMIGHTY noa2.

I wonder if Carl got anything? Surely he would have posted.

I was wondering the same thing a few minutes ago!! I think that he would have told us. Did you call USCIS or NVC today to check on yours?

I think that the touch yesterday was in response to the request that I wrote ya'll about yesterday - when I called and asked the Senator to see if they actually had the documents that we sent in with the request for an expedite. So, this morning he wrote and asked me to send him the documents again then wrote again about 5 minutes later saying never mind, he found his copies and had sent them on in to his contact there.

I guess it will take a day or two to work through the system, if it's going to work through.

Like I said (and I am lying) I am NOT counting on this amounting to anything but.......it would save some time for us if it did work. I still have my fedex ready to go but wouldn't it be fantastic if this actually worked???

Now, I have got a ton of work to do!!! Stan, when are you coming home??

Fast update here - my Senator's case worker emailed me and told me that he resubmitted the documents that USCIS is asking for. He did it this morning. Of course, I am not counting on that working or anything but I have EVERYTHING crossed!! I was thrilled that he did it!

It's hard to believe that there were that many of us!! The bar graph at the top of the Igor's list page shows us almost 50% complete.

Ya'll all cross your fingers that I get my hard copy of the RFE today. I'm feeling like I am losing my grip here....



I feel like I am losing my mind in addition to my grip lol!

I am really hoping to have my sweetie with me for Christmas! Last New Year's day I asked my dad if he would marry us (my dad is an Episcopal priest), but we decided to hold-off until Sean's family could come . . . That was when we had no idea about the Visa process!!!! I thought as Canadian he could just drive on down and live here! Ha!

On New Year's Eve last year we broke a chicken wishbone at midnight and we both made our wishes. I wished that we would get married in a year. We didn't tell each other what our wishes were of course, but we both had an idea that we wished for the same thing.

So this New Year we want to be husband and wife!

I'm Episcopalian too!!! I am sure he will be here with you at Christmas! We are supposed to get married at Thanksgiving.....I'm not feeling it right now though....guess we better start praying for a miracle with the Congolese embassy people!

Hi everyone!

We decided refile, the truth is we don't have money to hire a lawyer, we going to do this for our self, In the form I-129F there's the question number 11 "have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance or husband/wife before?.....do we have answer yes or just no like if were the first time we are filing this?

If someone can help me with this I will really apreciate it !!!

take care friends!!!

Linda

If I were you, I'd PM one of the more knowledgable members.....Pshbrk, GaryandAllah....BobbyUmit or RebeccaJo. To me, they seem to know the most and are always happy to help. I would NOT post just a general question out there in K1 land.....I did that once or twice and the advice was confusing and ultimately, wrong. Just send one of them a Private Message and I am sure they will answer the best that they can.

Just going on the face of your question, I would say that the answer is yes and then you can attach a piece of paper explaining what happened. You shouldn't be penalized.

It is so frustrating. And, just to prove to everyone here how much of a loser I can really be, when I put my mind to it - I called USCIS this morning to try to find out why I had another touch today and to see if they would tell me exactly what the RFE is about. Who knows, maybe I forgot something else!

Soooo.......I got a very nice but YOUNG girl on the phone and she reads from her script about what is going on, what I filed, etc....

I see that on August 14th we sent you form #......whatever it was, a request for initial evidence....blah blah.....

She then proceeds to tell me that she can't see any of my information. I asked her to just listen, explained that my Senator's office has sent the stuff in weeks ago...etc. She then gave me a 15 minute lecture on how important it was for me to wait for the notice and follow the instructions exactly. I couldn't just say that it has already been sent it!!

Thank you for your time and for listening to me, please have a very nice day - and I hung up.

Moral of the story - don't call them. It's awful. I have my happy and positive attitude (I SWEAR) back and I am just waiting by the mailbox again, for the notice, and will go from there. I will probably keep on obsessively checking the USCIS site, but it's not going to get me down.

And, you are right about my mom - she's pretty determined to hang on as long as it takes. We are all convinced though that as soon as I get this wedding pulled off....she will most likely let go.

You guys are the best friends I have right now. No one in my daily "real" life understands any of this. If I complain or get frustrated they don't really get it. Thanks for being such good "listeners" and thanks for all of the encouraging words.




Awwwwww... i like the way you are Missy. i only wrote twice or trice here in VJ i think but i always read everyday. Don't worry Missy, God is good you will be approved, i will pray for all of us.Take care:)

Happy Monday everyone!!! I am waiting for the postman to bring my hard copy of my RFE so I can get this behind me!! Richard have you had any touches yet?? I think this is going to be a very big week for the rest of our March family. Strega, I'll be very suprised if yours doesn't come today!

Missy... I bet you are very anxious to get the hard copy so you can FEDX it right back and get the file moving again... Any luck with your Senator?

No, no touches or anything yet, but it is still early... many March filers before me smile.gif

I think Strega is too busy cleaning smile.gif

No, they are pretty useless.

I didn't write about any of what I had already done because it was so frustrating to me and I was a little embarassed that I actually attempted what I did. My mom asked me if there was anything I could do to get Lars here faster. Her dying wish is to see him again (I think he's great and all but there are 100 other things I could think of as my dying wish). So, I called Senator Roger Wicker's office and asked if they could investigate an expedite request because of my mother. They were all enthusiastic and excited to help, I filled out the forms, signed the authorizations.....spent a lot of time talking to them about all of this and gathering letters from my mothers doctors and then they sent it all to USCIS along with the translated copy of Lars' divorce paperwork (that's what is missing, I accidentally left out the translation certification and some Danish paper that says he is free to remarry and THAT translation).

I did all of this back in May.

I talk to them about once a week or so but no response. While I am in Denmark, the first week I am there, I get an email from the Senator's office saying that my request had been denied , my mom's dying isn't anything to do with me and for an expedite, I'd have to be the one dying. Okay - I am fine with that, just aggravated about the amount of energy I spent gathering useless documents and for getting my mom's hopes up.

When I got the RFE last week, I called the Senator's office immediately and asked if they could please check and see if they could track down the documents we had sent in to their contact at USCIS and see if they could be placed with my application. They said they would check and get back to me. The response I got Friday was so silly, it took me all weekend to recover - No, they can't do anything to help me with this, I better just wait for the hard copy as instructed and I should feel REALLY, REALLY lucky. Why, you might be wondering?? Well....I should feel lucky because they are only just now working on DECEMBER'S applications and, like, wow, they did some work on yours!! It's almost like having it expedited, isn't it??

OH LAWD....help me understand this! Anyway, I've recovered and am hanging out by the mailbox all day everyday, fedex in one hand and the other just waiting for the RFE.

Good morning everyone, and happy Saturday!! I am happy to announce that I am feeling pretty much back to normal (whatever NORMAL is) and looking forward to getting this RFE behind me. My main concern now is getting our stuff to the embassy in DR Congo and then dealing with them. That is a HUGE unknown factor. There just isn't enough information here on VJ about it. The embassy's website is very nice but I am really unsure about timetables there. Oh well....part of the adventure I guess. Have a great Saturday ya'll!!

Missy, I think you need a I-824 form... I think that was the number... I will look again in a little while... I am painting the dinning room right now

You are correct about the form number but we only have to submit that IF everything gets sent to Copenhagen. The supervisor I keep talking to at the NVC told me that once I get the approval email then start calling NVC again, twice a day. Once it's at NVC then I submit via email and facsimle a change of address notification for Lars, along with copies of his visa for Congo, his work authorization and residency permit. Once NVC has those, then it will be sent to Kinshasha or Brazzaville for processing. I can also appoint him as the agent with the same email. All of this, of course, is if they have given me accurate information at the NVC. I, being the cautious, organized and super planning ahead girl that I am, have the form already filled out and ready to go, along with the necessary copies of Lars' stuff.

I swear - birthing children was easier than this and a lot less stressful!! Meanwhile, I'm heading out to Walmart to stare at the 1,000 illlegals that are here in Jackson right now, buying their groceries with the under the table money they are getting from various jobs here......(that sounded mean, didn't it?) sad.gif

All the touches - Got the RFE email this morning. The good news is I know what they want and has suspected this might happen, and the better news is I had already sent in the documents via my Senator, in June. Called the Senator's office this morning to see if they would follow up for me and try to circumvent this RFE but - if we can't, I have the FedEx ready to go out as soon as the snail mail version gets here.

This is going to sound retarded but....I was just excited that I made it to someone's desk and something was done!!!

Missy... sorry for the RFE.. but it doesnt sound retarded to me... I would also be glad that a real live human was working on the file! Hopefully your Senator can help out and speed it up... although, with the fedx ready... maybe only another 10 days 2 weeks?

I hope so. I feel optimistic about it all right now - my estimated approval wasn't until next week anyway so as I see things, I am still a little bit ahead of the game so far. You cannot believe how my stress level dropped, immediately. I saw the email from CRIS, opened it and just felt relieved that I had made it to this step in the process. Now I can focus on getting that done and cheering on everyone else as the approvals come raining in!!

To Linda and Thom - I am going to go out on a limb here and say this - I read the replies in the thread you started, asking for advice on this subject, last week. I think that you need to go ahead and refile your application and submit whatever is missing. I think that if you appeal or ask that it be reconsidered or whatever you will lose some valuable time. I am just looking at what I consider to be the fastest and cheapest way to "git r dun" and in my opinion, that's just refile and start over. Whatever you decide, we'll all be here cheering you on!!
