Any interviews scheduled within the next few weeks?

I need help!!! Our interview is in about 15 days or so. However now i'm in panic mode, anxiety. We have everything we need....but i'm still nervous. How do you guys cope with this?? I dont want to drink my nerves down....but wont rule that out ;)



Calm down Luis! You and Wendy will be just fine! Just tell her to be herself, answer truthfully, and not to volunteer any more information than needed! You on the other hand need a hobby other than drinking! :unsure: Go shopping for some stuff for Wendy, clean house, or rearrange furniture?

hey guys, thank you all for sticking around with us January filers without NOA2

We got touched again today!

I know that there is not a reliable pattern with touches and approvals, for now I am glad that someone is looking at our case. I think the touches last week were caused by putting our response into the system. Now it seems to be in someone's hands again ...

If we don't have an email by tomorrow morning we will call (I am in Cologne right now and I don't want to call the USCIS from a hotel room in Germany :whistle: )

Arnt


hip hip hoorraayy! :D



See, I TOLD you! Congrats! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I haven't posted for a while. I have to say, I'm starting to feel in a bit of a slump again. We got approved on the 5th, but NVC still hasn't received our case. The whole day by day wait, check, wait is once again wearing me out. I thought it was supposed to get easier once you are approved, and things would move faster??? UGHHHH.


Hang in there my Gemini friend, I am in a slump waiting for a darn interview date!

Hi my fellow January filers!

I had my interview yesterday and I got approved! :dance:

You can read my full review in the Embassy reviews section:
http://www.visajourn...p...blic&page=1

Howard and I are both so excited I'll be home on Saturday!! Then we'll get busy planning our 7/20 wedding and preparing the AOS papers - we want to file those before the 7/30 fee increase.

I'm as happy as never to be going to live with my Sweetie without counting months, weeks and days left before we have to part again. But I'm also sad to leave my family and friends here. It hurts me to see their sad faces full of tears...

Well, I wish everybody luck with their interviews and see you all in the AOS section! :thumbs:



WOW! Congrats! I am way happy for you two! :dance:

Congrats on the recent approvals, NOA hard copies, and interviews! I am waiting for an email from Kingston to let me know whether or not they received Marlon's DS-230 part 1 as he sent it last week! I did get an email from them yesterday stating that they got our case from the NVC and they mailed Marlon a packet 3. Just waiting for an interview date! :blink:

I called the NVC today and my case left for Kingston today!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: Now I need to get off my ####### and mail ALL the stuff to Marlon. Bad news (a rumor anyways) is that there are no appointments in Kingston until July 31 or after... :blink:

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you for an early interview date


Thanks Arnt!
Keeping the fingers crossed for you as well! I smell your NOA2 on it's way!

I got the hard copy of the NOA2 today. I called NVC but I am not there yet. I figure why bother calling when I still need a couple more documents to send Marlon.

!! NOA2 !!
:dance: :dancing: :dance:

NVC Customer Service says they received it last night.
The service rep estimated it was actually sent about May 14, 10 days ago!
No indication of this from USCIS/CSC



OMG George! I am so happy for you! :dance: :thumbs:

Awww thanks (L)
I love you guys!
Today started out great, well actually last night when I checked my mail and there was a letter from Marlon and a birthday card, he wrote another poem for me too! :wub:
Then he sent me 3 text messages on my phone and woke me up! lol

And I got touched today!!!!!!!!!

*crossing everything*

Ok I need to go to work but I will be back on later!

Hugs to my buddies!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

Wow, it's great to see that people are getting NOA2s already... I was checking in since I hadn't received mine yet, but it looks like CSC is simply being really slow. At least I know it's not just my case that's being held up / rejected / inspected / whatever. I'll keep on hoping that all of us will get NOA2 soon :P



Yours should be VERY close! Have you called and did the "RFE trick"?

Future,

You should get your NOA2 today or tomorrow, but since CSC is stupid a$% %*&%^(%. You will probably receive it in the mail before they update their site or email you.

All in all, GREAT to see that you are finally getting some progress.



Thanks Luis!
I am so tired and in desperate need of a drink! Thank God my b-day is tomorrow! lol
Dwarf_OgressFemale02007-05-23 19:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers
Oh God George, I hope so, NOA2 for my bday tomorrow???????

What would be cooler is for the rest of the January crew to get NOA2s too!!!!!!

OMG! *biting nails*
Dwarf_OgressFemale02007-05-23 15:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers
Finally some movement on my case! I received 2 emails from CRIS stating that my RFE was received today and my last updated date changed to today! OMG, here's hoping for my NOA2! I did send my RFE info certified mail today but hey, never can be too careful right? Thank God and thanks to my VJ buddies!

Congrats on the recent touches and approvals!

George, hang in there!

I tried the kiss butt thing to no avail, case still pending. So I am resending my shiznet today.


You are re-sending the proof that Marlon is not married for the RFE, correct? I hope your adjudicator sees it and quickly stamps "Approved!"

George


I also highlighted on the decree where it says it is an absolute decree and I highlighted the part which states so. Let's hope this works!

This isn't fair at all. Here i am being all excited that March people are finally being touched but then January people still haven't gotten their NOA2?? This is the epitome of unfair. I just don't understand how they can do this to people. I mean, it's almost encouraging people to come here illegally. Why should anyone go thru this horrible process when if they came here illegally they'd get to stay with little penalty. It's just not right.



I hear ya! It is certainly a long and frustrating process and it is the love of the 2 people that makes them make it through. I think? lol j/k You can be excited as it is certainly a journey wrought with both excitement and fear! Hang in there!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

Thanks, me too! If not a NOA2 in all of our mailboxes will suffice!


Yes, an NOA2 will make most day-to-day problems shrink to petty annoyances.



Call 'em again George! Keep bugging the ####### out of them!


Sarah,

I'd call them 20 times a day if I thought it would help! BTW, who would I call? The 150% friendly but 0% helpful people at 1-800-375-5283?? I've called them three times. They just read to me from the information on line: "Current Status: Case received and pending. On January 26, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how..." :blink:

...sigh

They are exceedingly friendly huh? I got one the other day however who did not just read me the info that On Jan 3, blah blah blah, but took out his rules manual and proceeded to read without breathing when it was appropriate for me to call and ask...not past the "normal" status for this case etc all without taking a breath..would not let me interrupt!! I kept saying like yes I understand but...he didnt stop kind of like a cops camera man, nothing was getting in his way!!! I was afraid to just hang up because what if he put bad remarks on my case???!!! 22 minutes this man read to me and all I had for the call was 22 minutes of peak talk time and a headache lol.




Ok, you win! lol I would have screamed into the phone!

I cant believe that some of you January fliers have not received your NOA2 yet what is wrong with the CSC :angry:



That's what we're asking!!!

####### IS WRONG WITH THE CSC?!?!

*shaking head*


This is a VERY aggravating process, it's difficult to understand all of the hurdles we jump over.

Sarah,

Happy birthday (early) :dance:

I called CSC, my petition is still on the hold shelf. I asked the guy if he could light a fire under someone's butt but they are "untouchables"! lol He did say things are slow because of the work visas, a whole backlog of them. He also said he might go to another country to find the love of his life! lol He was nice.

:dance: I phoned the NVC last night (PH time), the nice lady on the phone asked for the receipt number.. I was abit expecting her to say that they do not have our receipt number on their record but she followed up with questions: What is the beneficiary's name and birthdate. I gave the details and she said "and the petitioners' number is blah blah blah. We received this petition May 15.."

Woooww!! I really ran out of words and just told her "Oh, really?!" (LOL) "Thank you".. Forgot to ask if we already have a case number.. :wacko: Anywho, I'm really happy that we havent gotten an RFE (after all this time that we are expecting we will)..

Goodluck to the rest of January filers... :) And I surely owe this thread and the VJ-Jan filers big time! Thanks guys!


Congratulations! :dance:

Hey, thanks.. :) I know yours and FutureMrs' (who told me good things come to those who wait) NOA2 is coming really sooon.. I really do wish and pray for that..
