whats up people its been a while, as you can see im closing in on 5 months since my NOA1, i had fiath that it had been approved because the other two cases thats were sent on the 27 of Feb had been approved but when i called USIC they said another two months. Anyways my question is should i start getting ready to call my senator once I start approching six months or just keep on waiting??

It never hurts to call the congressmen or senator's office to introduce yourself and put them on stand-by that you may need there assistance... However, having talked with my congressmen numerous times... they get stone-walled just as much as you and I do. That said, it should be only a matter of days now before you get your NOA2 or at worst, an RFE for something.

Patience... almost there...

Yeehey! NOA2 received in the mail today kicking.gif , issue date 6/15, snail mail took its sweet time but what a nice Friday and weekend surprise!

NOA1 was 2/17 so things are moving right along, no RFE issued so far. Best wishes to other Feb filers, your time is definitely coming.

i have asked this question b4 but cant remember the answer if my life depended on it, but I own roofing company so i dont really have a letter from employer, and all i have are my 2008 tax's are my personal and company's 1040... i should be good with that right?


If you are self-employed (own your own company), you need to provide *3* years of tax records. Technically if you are not self-employed you could likely get away with 1 year, but I am not going to chance it. Because it is about proving you can support your fiance/wife, you need to show that. I would suggest providing any evidence of net worth that would help show the ability to support (bank records, property ownership, etc).

Dave



Well here is the thing, i have only been self employed since September 2008, and b4 2008 I did not make enough money to cover the poverty rate, so will i be fine just taking the 2008 taxs or will i need to have a co-sponser


I am afraid that I can't answer....it really is up to the Consular Officer at the embassy. Key thing is how much did you make in 2008? If you made 200% or 300% of the Poverty Level for your family (you, spouse, any dependants), then you probably will be ok. If you just barely meet the requirement (125%) you may need a co-sponsor... In either case present any evidence you have that you can support your fiance...



i reported a little over $20,000 in 2008, so I dont think that is over 200%, im going to try and contact the consulate to see what they say, but just incase i cant get in contact with them what form will the sponsor need to fill out? the I-864?

My jaw dropped and instantly texted my honey, I'm in shock!!

It's dated June 3rd, 2009 and we have till October 3rd, 2009 to get it going, so I doubt any worries about this 6 months I was so fretful of..!

You all will get yours very soon, I can feel it.

The only thing we can do is stay positive. We can not change anything. Soon this will just be the story we have about our respective relationships. You will tell your children about when Daddy and Mommy went through.




very true, its funny how life works, at least for me a few months ago did not want anything to do with anyone, I had been so hurt in the past that i decided that i would be single for a while have fun party it up and no commit no NO ONE, and look at whaty life had in store for me, i fell in love with some one a thousand miles away... I think that this time apart will only make our relationship stronger and thi will be one hell of a story at the wedding lol


You know what's funny before I filed for the visa, I did not think that there were sooooooo many people that are in the same situation as me. But as soon as I filed, I found out that there thousands and thousands of people like that. Life is a funny, yet strange thing.

Yes, I had no idea that there were so many people in the same boat... it sure is a nice boat smile.gif Kinda like the "Loveboat"

Maire... that was a reference to a TV show... many years before you were born tongue.gif

Its only been 90 + days for me and i know its to soon to call but could some one tell me how i would get in touch with my Senator and how the whole things works? I live in Miami, Florida thanks lady's n Gents


You can find your US Senator's web page by going to: http://www.senate.go...enators_cfm.cfm

Just enter in your state, and look for the link from your senator's name to their home page. From there, look for a link to "Constituent Services" or something like that. For Mark Warner, there is a heading (not a link) of "Constituent Services", and below the heading, one of the links is "Help with Federal Agencies" link, then you can click from there to a page with info on help with the USCIS. You may have to fish around on your senator's home page, but it is not too hard to find.

I'm going to wait to play that card for a little bit yet, but not for *too* long.



thanks for the info Dave I appriciate it

i didn't know this section exsited lol, i posted this info on the main board, not sure if any one has posted this so here goes


Whats up people, this is for those of us who files in Feb 2009 in the Vermont section. In the month of Janurary 2009 there were roughly 99 petitions sent to Vermont (this is not the total number, just of the people that have registered there time line on this site) and out of those 99, 69 have been sent there NOA2, that's about 70%, the number might be even greater if you include the people that have not updated there time lines. In the month of Feb there were 98 petition sent, so hopefully in the next few weeks we should start seeing those petitions approved.. Just though i pass along the good news, i have to much time on my hands right now and decided to do the research haha kicking.gif


Welcome to the most active forum topic ever! You are quite right about this - we are at about 70% now, and from past months, we see things top out around 80-90% so we are winding down the January filings, so it should be time very soon to start working through February. I can't wait! One step closer to my sweetie arriving!



yeah i noticed over 100 pages, and from the look of things you people seem pretty loose, my guess is because most of us are about to be approved haha

It would be interesting to hear how Costa Rica Consulate stacks up to the horrible Ecuador Consulate, and why the big difference, still being Latin America.



the consulate people were very nice, from people telling me where to go to the lady that interviewed me, the waite was a little long (3+ hours) and we had to go back a second day because the machine that red the finger prints did not proccess my fiancee prints. The lady that interviewed spoke a very broken down form of spanish...very gringa like lol, which helped us because she spent most of the time talking to me instead of my fiancee, which was very nervous, so all in all the experience was good, with the exeption of the security guard that would not let me or my fiance stand under the lil over hang they had outside of the building when it was pouring rain..

Hey everyone,

Quick question... My fiance got his packet 3 from embassy while i was visiting him in England (around march 1). I had to take back forms with me to America to figure out some stuff that was over there. Anyways, he's just now sending them back to embassy (ds230, 156, 156K, checklist, etc) filled out. Embassy should get it around march 17/18. Do you think this is too late... will we get pushed aside or looked down upon for not sending forms back IMMEDIATELY? I'm so paranoid! unsure.gif This waiting part is the hardest!!!!!

Mine was delivered door-to-door on a Saturday afternoon. Good thing, I was home (which I am usually NOT during Saturdays).

I received my PACKET 4 TODAY! :dance: yippeeeyyyyy :dance:

DHL called me up at 1:20 P.M. informing me they just received something from the US Embassy for me and to be delivered on Monday.....so why wait on Monday......I went to DHL head office right away and pick-up my Packet 4 at 2:15 P.M..........

There are at least 20 or so express mails from the US Embassy in there (they let me take a peek at the box....hehehe).

:o :o :o ... weird, as i checked the website for the interview sked, it doesn't shows our sked already instead it says "case # is not found???".... I do hope "Eddie&Mary"'s comment about this topic is RIGHT.



I just called USE, and asked them again for my medical and interview date. They told me the same thing . The medical is on the 27th of July and interview is on the 3rd of August. They are having a problem with their site and therefore all case numbers entered says the same thing"Case # not found". So if you already received a date, then that is when you appear. Excuse me, I have to go and make some reservations!! :P



Same thing here....Bernie called them and was told that our schedule remains as is....so there is nothing to worry.....good thing I have printed our appointment schedule from their website... :D :P

Good luck to us all!


THANKS A LOT!!! :thumbs: Was just a lil worried cuz our interview will be on July 3, ... 11 days to go to be exact. Please pray for us :help: :help: :help: . Aiming for this wonderful word "A-P-P-R-O-V-E-" right after interview.



Good Luck to you!!!!! :thumbs:

Thanks for passing that info along Eddie. MJ is looking forward too talking with Mary before their interviews. Get that plane warmed up!!!

Take Care,
Charlie



Charlie, we have been ready for the plane for a long time already. I am just happy that we have a date scheduled. I will let her know to get ready for MJ's call. Thanks, and good luck to all of us! I also hope that those who do not have an appointment, get theirs soon. I know it is not easy to sit and wait, knowing your papers are there and that they could assign an interview date and don't. Be patient, you are almost there!

Our papers also arrived on the 4th of June at the Embassy, and how come, I already have my medical and interview dates (taken from the embassy visa appointment website).

Don't tell me, this is just a false alarm. I already booked our tickets.


I spoke to the Manila embassy today. She said they have NO appointments available for june, july, aug, and the 1st two weeks of sept. They will not mail out our packet 4 until the appointments are available and the backlog is gone.

She said we might get an end of sept appointment and maybe the packet 4 in one month. My papers arrived june 4th.


BIG delays..............BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!


I don't think that is correct as many of us have appointments already for those months. Or do you mean that there aren't anymore appointments left? Ours is on August 3rd. I have their web site printout showing our medical exam and interview dates.


Charlie


Correct you "HAVE" your appointment. Im talking about all future appointments. My i129f arrived june 4 and I was told there are NO appointments for 2.5 months and they are so backlogged they are NOT mailing packet4's out. They told me she might get a packet4 in 1-1.5 months from now. Our paperwork has been there for 2.5 weeks.



I would not worry Island Princess, since we already have our medical and interview dates assigned. I think she is talking about those that have their petition in Manila, but were yet to be given an appointment date,or medical. I would not worry about it.
