helpsmilie.gif If I am going into UCIS website and checking for updates more than twice a day is that considered "Obsessive Compulsive" behavior? LOL!!! Everytime I go in I think to myself one day soon (Insha'allah) it will have been "touched"and/or "approved"! I hope we all get our approvals soon! The pressure of impatience is wearing on my poor nerves. I am missing Kamel sooooo much! crying.gif


You are not alone, but it's a new week---the ever patient Alane and Ramzis

Well that´s definately a proof of how patient you must be when you always have to wait till the next day good.gif Hope you get good news this week kicking.gif

I also thought October was gonna get at least some of us the good news, but I am not so sure now. There are about 90 May filers waiting at CSC for an approval...that moves us June filers a couple of weeks behind sad.gif


It seems after you have been waiting for so long, all you can do is try to make it through each day as it comes.
Sad but true! blink.gif



I prayed all night I would see our lovely CRIS email this morning----NOPE!!!! Still the patient one Alane & Ramzis

Okay I feel stupid...I have been reading and I just found out that the notice date on the NOA1 is what we are supposed to be going by not the date on that we received this? Is this right? If so, then that would put my love and I one week closer than I was thinking. Yay! kicking.gif My Notice date on the NOA1 is June 26th, the USCIS site says June 30th and I received the hard copy on July 6th. I'm sooooooo confused! blink.gif


We have never received an NOA1 yet----I think I'm definitely going to call today----as soon as the California people wake up on the west coast!!!!

I think it is safe to say that we should go by what USCIS write on the NOA1. If the NOA1 says CASE RECIEVED AND PENDING ON JUNE ##, 2007 then that what we should go by, correct? Or am I wrong?

I'm basing my dates on that, because I sent my 129-F May 23, 2007 to NSC, they received on the May 25th, and USCIS says that CASE WITH CSC AND RECIEVED AND PENDING ON JUNE 8.

So since June 8th we have been waiting…

We are all sooooo close to approvals. I haven't had a touch-----NOTHING----the patient one is beginning to go crazy. I don't have a computer at home, so I have to wait to come to the office to check my emails. wacko.gif wacko.gif

Its not the NOA1 you should be concerned about...its those pesky NOA2s which are so elusive and sought after that you should be craving!


Easy for you to say...They didn't forget to send yours....LOL yes.gif


We've never received the hard copy NOA1 either---forget about it----NOA2 is all you need to have on your mind now!!! I can't believe actually, that we are so far into the process already. Ramzis is with me right now until Oct. 2. I am getting all my I-134 stuff ready for him to take back to Russia with him. The next time I meet him at Detroit airport will be FOREVER!!! It's really amazing.

Ok, we can probably get a new thread going on how to communicate since we are all in it for the obvious longer haul. Be sure to get a web cam for your computer and your fiance. I now subscribe to the international phone plan for my home and cell phone. Its great for the cell phone for a quicky call when the webcam is not convienient. I learned early in this long distance thing that phone cards are too expensive. Adriana is in Brazil and we have success using free services such as Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and CamFrog.com. She couldn't get Skype to work on her computer unfortunately. Oh yes, if you subscribe to an international plan for your cell phone, be sure to call your service provider here in the states to get directions on dialing once you get to where ever your going and ask how to call there locally and how to call back to the states from there too. And be sure to update your roaming software on your phone before leaving the US too. Call your cell phone service provider for all that from the airport before getting on the plane. Anyone else out there using some other way for Internet communications I didn't mention here?

Charles


I buy real cheap phone cards on the internet. I can call Russia for about 3.5 cents/minutes. The link is www.trycards.com

Sorry for the second post. I was wondering how many of us June filers are seeing more trouble in our relationships. Mine seems to be getting worse. I just bought tickets to come and see her at the end of the month. I hope this helps. I will only be there for eleven days. Better then not at all I guess.



We email everyday and talk on the phone about 3-4 times/week. We have been trying to have better "phone economy" but its hard.

Hello June filers,

First off I wish the best for everyone's process.

I am a little concerned that reading everyone elses timelines that it seems that your forms have been "touched" in the last month. As for mine, I got the NOA1 on 06/15/07, via checking it at the USCIS website. Apparently, it hasn't been touched since 06/20/07. That's about a month and a half since any activity. Should I be concerned of how slow my process is going?

It's is currently at the CSC.

I'm sorry for the question, and please excuse me this is my first post.


I have never received a hard copy of the NOA1. I got the case number off the back of our check. Our last and only touch was on 6/13/07. This I know---our petition is in the sytem, I can access my information online---so we WAIT!!! :wacko: :blink: :wacko:

Here is something for June :)




Does everyone know you can get this type of information anytime from the Immigration Timelines area? I just go there, increase the number of rows displayed, and then sort by NOA1 or whatever I am wanting to look at. For what I posted above, I copied the rows in Excel, cleaned it up, saved it as an HTML file and then uploaded it as an attachment. Keep in mind this is a snapshot from this morning and is not updated real time like the Timeline area is. I'd be happy to explain more about this if anyone wants.


There's nothing to open---help! and THANKS

RAMZIS' VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif He called me at 2:30 a.m. this morning (10:30 a.m. in Moscow). I don't have many details, but he got there at 7:00 a.m. to be first in line and he was calling me by 10:30 a.m. He said they began letting them in at 8:30 and they don't start working until 9:00 a.m. So I don't think it took very long. Monday is a holiday (International day of women) which is celebrated across Europe, so all businesses will be closed on Monday (ugh---another day lost), but hopefully he will have his visa on Tuesday or Wed, fly here on Thursday and we'll be married on Friday (do you think it is at all possible that the government would work with me on this timeline?!)

Hey loyal May filers. Thought I would bring our thread back to the front page. Ramzis leaves this Saturday for Moscow and his medical exam is Monday, March 3 and interview on Friday, March 7. We are planning to be married the following Friday, March 14. I know Zee is right after us. It appears the patient one is finally nearing the end (of this portion) this long, long ordeal. Please pray for him to have a successful exam and interview next week, and thanks everybody! The patient one, Alane & Ramzis luv.gif luv.gif


Alane, the 7th is coming up quickly (although I know it doesn't feel like it!) I'm so excited for you!! And when he gets here, the days before the wedding will just fly by in glorious fashion. dancin5hr.gif And then you'll be joining me on cloud nine! I still can't believe that after 12 1/2 years as a couple, we're finally married!! Pinching myself doesn't make it seem any more real to me jest.gif

Zee, your time is just around the corner, too! I'm so excited for the both of you as well! They say that the best things in life come to those who wait and I think the three of us (you, Alane and I) have done more than our fair share of waiting! The best thing in the world for me is finally here...for forever and the best for you is coming very soon! I'll be here waiting to do the happy dance with the both of you kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif (I keep my dancing shoes under my desk here at work for special occasions!)

Hi everyone! Just a question...

Does anyone know what happens if you are not at home when they try to deliver the visa? My fiance works all day and most likely will not be there when they deliver it. I just don't want a major delay on things because he won't be there during the times they try to deliver it. Anyone know? Thank you!

And congrats on the happy wedding news and all the other approved visas/interviews/etc!

Have it delivered to the dhl office and let him pick it up there.

Hi guys:

2 questions:

If we get a work stamp at POE in New York, does that mean he can work right away? I just talked to a lawyer on the telephone; a) he says they don't do that anymore and cool.gif even if you get one, you can't work----doesn't make sense.

The I-864 (affadavit of support) has to be submitted with the I-485 (AOS). Can we use the same one we used for the K-1 interview or do we need a newer, updated one?

Thanks, Alane & Ramzis luv.gif luv.gif


If he gets the temp EAD from JFK (haven't heard that it has stopped being given out) your fiance still needs to get a SSN before he starts working.

The I-134 is what your fiance should take to the interview. I-864 is for AOS.


From the patient one, Alane & Ramzis

Actually, it depends on the country. My fiance's country (Liberia, W. Africa) required the I-864 for his interview. So this is a good question. I saved a copy to my computer so it's just a matter of re-printing it and getting it notrized. Most banks will do it for free if you have an account with them.



I am putting this social security link up for everyone. There has been so much conflicting information about the work stamp, POE, AOS, etc., etc. By default, entering on a K-1 entitles immediate working privilege if you have a SS#. Read Section C, paragraph 1. I talked to a lawyer who told me he cannot work (which is NOT true). I have a SS specialist where I work who confirmed this information, that working is inherent with the K-1 for 90 days. You must submit the AOS as soon as possible so hopefully there is no break in working. DON'T LISTEN TO LAWYERS!!!! Here's the link
a holder of a K-1 visa is eligible for work regardless of a Employment Authorization stamp on his K-1 visa in the passport, or an Employment Authorization card.

Here is a relevant page from the Social Security Administration Manual. Please refer to Section C, Paragraph 1 that states that
a holder of a K-1 visa is "authorized to work in the U.S. without specific authorization from DHS. The person’s I-94 will not have the DHS employment authorization stamp and the alien will generally not have an EAD. "

https://secure.ssa.g.../lnx/0100203500

Your fiance will need to complete a form at the SSA office requesting to change his SS# to "authorized for employment" as soon as possible upon his arrival.

Here is an Information sheet relating to the Adjustment of Status once you marry:

1. General overview: http://www.uscis.gov.../article/A2.pdf

The I-864 (affadavit of support) has to be submitted with the I-485 (AOS). Can we use the same one we used for the K-1 interview or do we need a newer, updated one?

Thanks, Alane & Ramzis luv.gif luv.gif

This thread is exclusive for MAY filers.. so we can keep in touch on ur status... Thanx so much.. good.gif



I filed in May and still no NOA2.They don't like me. crying.gif



I called everyday and finally spoke to a supervisor. I'm sure you feel helpless---I know many of us here know just how you feel. Demand to speak to a supervisor. That's crazy. What have they been telling you on all your contacts with them?

I've been told by NVC and DOS that our documents were definitely shipped dhl on 12/21. NOBODY could give me a dhl tracking #. As of yesterday, the embassy emailed me saying they have not received them yet. I'm hoping that really means they just haven't been through the backlog of mail since the Christmas and New Year holidays. Any suggestions from anyone?

Good luck to the rest of us!!! tongue.gif

Interviewed at US embassy in Moscow today. Visa approved!

She said the man was very kind and only asked a few questions about herself and me and then wished her good luck in America.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to my fellow May filers and I hope all those still stuck in some bureaucratic backwater will be processed out soon.



Hi Jlogajan: It appears you got your interview pretty quick after the embassy received your documents. We are still hoping for a Feb. interview. I'm so happy for you-----anything else you can share I would love to hear about the interview. The patient one, Alane & Ramzis innocent.gif innocent.gif

The patient one is checking in at VJ. Since my frustrations of two weeks ago things have picked up speed. After crying and finally getting a supervisor on our case at CSC, our documents arrived at NVC on 12/17/07 left NVC on 12/18/07 and arrived at the Moscow Embassy this morning 12/21/07!!! I couldn't be happier. I know I had the best night sleep last night that I have had in months.
