SUS i & I made a mistake as I think the poster was "eagle+eyed" just notice when we see how the poster just a quote up me 2 times . Also You know they love the "home cooked meal"



End of sept is good... dont want yuh get get knock down with waiting


why you want me sue you babes..? and i'm not sweet talkin you at all. thats the only thing i picked out from the 2 part message.



sus great backing me up! :)
ricardo sorry abt being so defensive.i reaaly did'nt meant to send TWO posts directing at u.but i sent the firsyt one and then checked could'nt find it and thought it was'nt added so i did a redo...
u have a way with your sarcasm most times and lets just say tieing a knot at the end of the rope and hanging leaves little room for sarcasm tolerance.
have a good day

*biighhug*
stop checking. i know its hard not to, but it brings you through too many emotions. Just wait on the text to come through/letter in the mail. It's coming! Sometimes you may even have to take a break from VJ. Get your mind on to other stuff to help pass the time. Hang in there muffin!


awwwwwwwwwwww much needed! thanx :)

I use to check it just as much as you did when I first started out this process. I slowly found out the hard way to lead my self into depression....stop doing this. It's ok to check once or twice a day but the pay you are on your going to be checking it every 10 min.

Find a hobby, read a book, exercise. Exercise is great, you can release a ton of stress and it's good for you!

Good Luck!



:) hmmmm thankx...i have a hobby,he's 21 months old and running circles around me.but he's also one of the reasons i'm so anxious,he's saying Dada now! :)

:clock: Waiting... I totally feel your pain! Girl, just sit back and relax as best as you can! I know its really hard! Trust I had a K1 and I am now doing a CR-1... Patience is a virtue!

Are all of your NVC documents ready to go? Focus on the next step... it helps!



we also had a k1 that got messed up and are on cr1 now...we are pretty much ready for the next too...juuuuust waiting :)

I also checked the USCIS website every single day... sometimes twice per day. My fiance used to laugh at me for this, because he is always so easy-going... never worried about anything. He has total faith. Anyway, we actually didn't receive approval from USCIS until I was in Lebanon over the summer... I turned on my phone one morning, and saw a text message from them. I hadn't checked the website in days, due to the poor connection in Lebanon... I was just avoiding the internet altogether, but anyway, once I received the text, I ran upstairs, knocked on the door to wake up my fiance's parents so that I could borrow their laptop. They couldn't figure out what my excitement was due to... and really, I was just so nervous because the text only said that we had an update. Anyway, I had a difficult time going online, and had to knock on my fiance's sister's door a couple of times to help me with the connection (Fiance was at work), and when I finally was able to log on (felt like an eternity), I think I almost had a heart attack when I read "approved" ... I called my fiance immediately. Now, we are just waiting to find out the results of his visa interview, which is in a few hours from now... I am very nervous... and praying hard. I keep reminding myself that God is in control.



goodluck :)

This is all too sad... You have long hoping days... Life your life..better yet go read a jamaican cook book and LEARN how to COOK jamaican food that he is used to and a proper dinner on Sunday or ELSE.



FYI i dont need a cook book my granny and my momma did a pretty good job of making sure of that (not that either way I would feel any obligation to LEARN to COOK any kind of food on any day of week out of fear of or ELSE.leaving that up to narrow minded individuals who believes a woman place in in the kitchen and no where else)

...and contrary to the post i'm not as psychotic as it might sound...i do LIVE my life...i have a 21 month old son and i'm 6 months pregnant with our second and i have a full time job...but along with that i miss my husband and i'm impatient and a born worrier so sue me...

wish i could just forget about noa2 until it comes instead of obsessing abt it all the time...all day,everyday...especially since we got in the vj timeline noa2 estimate. i wake up i check status,check again before i leave for work,get to work check again.check before leaving for lunch,chech after lunch.check as soon as i get home and again before i go to bed...then do it all over the next day :(
WaitingToExhaleFemaleJamaica2011-08-23 10:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat next?

Remember, one person's timeline will not always match yours. Every case is different. Some months NVC has to dedicate a certain amount of time on other types of Visas so try to take it one day, and one step at a time, or you will make yourself crazy (F)


Thankx.Do we still do have to do the choice of agent if we have a lawyer?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow long does a Final Review take?
Hey VJ Members,

I know that I asked this question before. But I called the NVC and they said that my case is in its final review. This has now been two weeks. How much longer do I have to wait to find out the final result of this review? I am really getting impatient.

Thanks guys.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow Soon should i File I-130

Hey Guys,
I'm new to this site and just have a couple question. I currently got married as in a week ago. I don't know but suddenly this site had made me very nervous to file my paperwork. My husband is in the military and we have a one year old son he got his cbra and us passport recently. This year makes 4 years since we are together but only married a week. it seems like I have to prove the validity of our marriage and that i might be turned down especially the 2 year stipulation. Should I wait a while for him to sign up the I-130 or not. I am currently being added into the military system. Please let me know or am I just nervous for nothing.

Congrats on your marriage and welcome to VJ.You can start filing as soon as possible, you have a child together so that's a big plus and you must have photos from your pass
