K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCongressional Inquiry

With SirPratalot? Not a chance in hell. I'm a Cancer. I hold grudges to the grave.


That's too bad. Seems like a lot of wasted time and energy to me...but your choice, certainly. I guess Aquarians are more flexible that way... :) Where it's possible--and I think it is in this case--I'd always rather have harmony with someone that hurt me in the past. Forgiveness is a process, true enough. But letting go of anger and resentment frees you up to direct that same energy in more productive and positive ways. Well, just think about it. Maybe you'll change your mind. Again, if not, totally up to you. :star:

Anyway, I have a lot of good friends who are Cancers. I'm not big into astrology as a way of life, but I do find there are some interesting tendencies. For example, my fiancé's an Aries...and true to form, he can be a real hothead! :wacko: :lol: But I love him!! (L) He says he's become more patient and calm as a result of our relationship. Good thing!! :lol: :yes: :lol:

Everyone has their flaws and foibles. Everyone--regardless of astrological designation--says and writes things that in retrospect they pro'ly shouldn'ta. And everyone--regardless of astrological designation--gets their feelings banged up sometimes. But you know, grace is a beautiful thing. When I screw up (and I've done so royally on more than one occasion), I am always very relieved when I hear the words, "It's o.k. It's over and done." Do unto others is all I'm trying to say... :) (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCongressional Inquiry

That's all fine and dandy, but amazingly enough, some people get rather upset when they are called abrasive arses and whatever else it was he called me a couple of months ago. I'll debate people's opinions, or tell them if I think they're doing something stupid, but even *I* - the original misanthropic b@stard - won't post an uninitiated attack on someone, telling them I hate them and that they're an #######.

I mean, come on.... I'm a crusty, grumpy old fart, but I almost told VJ to go #$%! itself after his attack on me. In the end I just changed my name and decided to never be helpful again. Sadly, all I have is the name change, as I can't help posting something helpful every once in a while.


So you don't want to mend bridges when the opportunity arises...? :(

Oh well. Sigh...

Good luck Dean! They seem to have found some old stacks of files recently at CSC, so maybe yours is there and you'll get your approval soon!



Hey congrats on your approval E&K. It's about time. Good luck with the next next step. Mexico is the only embassy in the world that is busier than Manila. So more hurry up and wait after NOA2. :lol:



Actually we just got the RFE e-mail, but after waiting for so long without any kind of news it was almost as exciting as getting the NOA2 :lol: Hey, our file is finally out of CSC limbo :dance:


Excellent, E&K!! I hope you can get that thing turned around fast and receive an approval quickly thereafter!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Cian-

I am not SirLancelot's bets friend, true. But he is right on with this post. Just read that incredibly immature link he posted and any of Andy's numerous other inane posts.


Devilette (and perhaps PlatyPius),

I hate to tell you this, but I think you've entirely missed the point of SirLancelot's post. While he acknowledges butting heads with Andy in past posts, he actually is chuckling and congratulating Andy in this case... He's expressing something positive, bless his heart, not something negative. :) (F)

Oh man...What a crock of crud that response was!! BLECCHHHHH!!!! This is the kind of malarkey that just has to STOP! :angry: :angry: :angry: Incidentally, I'm referring to the USCIS response...NOT to RebeccaJo's just above me. I have nary an unkind word for her...EVER! :)

Anyway, so glad you've got someone who also saw it for the NON-answer it was and who has chosen to pursue it. May she get the answers you so richly deserve!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAPPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Address wrong.

Wow, the Saga goes on!

My Fiance has now received a letter, which he is yet to send me a copy of.

It is addressed to me! And says something about leting the embassy know of my correct address!

We had called the USCIS about my change of address, and sent a letter recorded delivery! We even have a notice frome the USCIS saying thankyou for your informations blah blah blah...

I can not believe how ineficiant this is!

Oh well, I still thankful we are further along than I thought. I would urge people going through CA USCIS to double check their files if they have moved address!


I'd say it's unbelievable..but unfortunately, with everything else we've all seen and experienced, it's totally believable...It makes me want to bang my head against a wall repeatedly...

So sorry you have to deal with this nonsense... UGH!!! <_<
Kirsten LNot TellingFrance2006-10-11 07:15:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI129f file cancelled..what can i do?
Oh God...This is a nightmare. One more proof positive of the desperate need for overhaul and reform of this godforsaken system...

You definitely need congressional help at this point, IMHO. You also need to write a calm but forthright letter to the USCIS/CSC yourself, making it clear that you have complied with all requests made of you and that the cancellation of your case is not due to any error of yours. The letter should concisely state the facts of your case and assert that you look forward to the timely resolution of an error made on USCIS's part. Once you draft the letter, if you need someone to look it over, let me know...All is not lost. Not yet. Don't panic. Know your rights and pursue them calmly and rationally. :yes: :thumbs:

:dance: :D :dance: :D :dance:

P.S. I see when I click on your timeline that a message appears saying that you have an issue with duplicates. Could you please contact the system administrator and square that away so that we know your information is being tabulated correctly in the stats VJ compiles? That would be GREAT!!! :thumbs: Thanks!!

:time: (or rather FIX your timeline) :D

In the meantime, until that's taken care of, I was wondering if you might share more specific dates in your signature. I see you have the months listed for the different visa events so far, but not the actual days...Knowing the days would be interesting for me to see if you're willing...

Oh my, now I need to start getting rid of all the porn, I hope I can locate all of it on time before she gets here.


Matako...If you're serious, gross. If you're joking, gross. Please at least give appropriateness a go, will you...? I'm no prude, but there really is a limit to what you can reasonably say in a public forum. I'd say you're pretty much crossin' the line and leaving an unfortunate impression of yourself. Verbal diarrhea is a curable disease. You're the one holding the cure. 'Nuff said.

If they said they received it, that means hard copy. They are not nearly so advanced as to be sending electronic copies... :no: though we all wish they were... :yes:

As for the 150 days, I'm sure that's an estimate. I know the Philippines are very, very busy immigration-wise, so it may indeed be a little while. There are many others here who could give you a reasonable idea of what to expect. I'm sure they'll be checking in soon. :)

As for how you know when something's been received at NVC...Give them ten business days. If you haven't heard anything by then, feel free to start calling them. I would recommend talking to an operator since there seems to be some question as to whether the automated system reflects I-129Fs or not. You can also email. If you go to the NVC Forum here at VJ, you'll find all the information you need to contact NVC. :D
