CaribbeanHELP-Overwhelmed
OK, I logged on to pay my AOS fee of $88.00 today and it won't let me. It says my bill is there. However, every time I check the box to pay the selected fee's and click pay, it zero's out my fee and won't go any further. Am I doing something wrong????

Also, where can I email mu husband's choice of agent form? Also,can I send it from my work email rather than his hotmail account. It is more reliable when sending attachments?

Please HELP :help: :help: :help: :help:

CaribbeanHurricane headed towards the Island
Just talked to my husband and he has lost his current. He is safe, he did charge all his phones, his laptop, bought candles, tin food, wata . Thank god I brought him a suitcase full of flashlights and batteries...

It has moved from a cat 1 to cat 2 and it looks like tropical storm Tony is not to far behind. My prayers are out to all of Jamaica.

I was stuck there during Ivan and it was not fun. However, that is when I truly saw how Jamaicans really stay!! They are there to help each other, share what they have (saws,tools, generators, food and more). I'll never forget the day Ivan was final over, I think everyone played the Storm is over now by Terry Linen, the sun came out and people all around still smiled, even with water damage, roofs gone and more. Jamaicans are truly strong and survivors.....

Much love and prayers being sent

CaribbeanUS called Fiance's Job

Has anyone heard of this happening. The hotel Secretary told my fiance that someone from the US called the hotel verifying his employment, and asked other questions. Huh!

Caribbeanhow do you actually get visa in hand?

good morning, i called dhl in jamaica they said a visa for a visit stay is ready in 4 days toa week. a visa for permanent residence is ready longer, up to a month. does this sound right.



Maybe it is right or maybe it is not. I don't think anyone really knows expect the embassy officials. I have seen them processed in 2 days, I have seen them processed in 5 days and I have seen them processed 2-3 weeks and this is for all different visa's. Even after blue sheet appointments.

What I have learned is that no two cases are ever treated the same PERIOD!! I had a friend who was wanting to travel back with her fiancee and waited for over two weeks for the visa to be in hand. As soon as she left the visa was ready for pick up a week later. I also know of someone who received it within 48 hours after interview. Just be glad you are at this phase. This is going to feel like the longest haul.. Errr the waiting game sucks

Caribbeanhate the weekend

yea the embassy just facebooked me saying they are closed christmas eve:(:( dhl status just keeps saying package shipped or something like that:( when i called them they said all that means is that they have made contact with the embassy. The embassy has not released my kids visa yet because when they do dhl will say delivered on the status.... my step kids are 11 and 14. i know they are so excited. i am getting so anxious i feel like it has made me become ill, have to miss work, and i can hardly concentrate on the rest of my life. we are not talking about just anything, it is people's lives, children's lives, and i love his kids like my own, i want them here where i can raise them. jamaica is soooooo far away from where we live in the united states. so i wonder if dhl is closed christmas eve? it doesn't matter if the embassy is closed and that's where the visa is.


You really need to lively up yourself. All this stress is not going to change anything. Missing work, you should save them days for when they arrive. There are others that are worse off. Your on your way and only waiting your almost there.

Cheer Up

You will make it through this, you've come this far. You seem stubborn like me, I want what I want and I want it on CHRISTMAS. I had to really think about it, I had to, make the best of each sanerio that could take place. Your visas are being processed and that alone is a wonderful gift. Just try to think and stay positive.

CaribbeanHow to Track Visa??

Not to start worrying just yet. i just want to know how do I track my fiance's visa? When i check the DHL website it says on hold and has been since March 1st which was the day after his interview. Now, I'm hoping he he doesn't fall into the AP which seems to be a new trend I see. How do i track it? He called DHS and they told him call back on Friday, when they told him to call back Wednesday before.


Hi There, you can try to use the thread posted below. It worked for me and as you can see other have used it as well.

Caribbeanexpedite request

I sent my original IR-5 petition in Dec 2013. I requested the expedite Feb 2014, it was approved and moved along within 12 business days. From that point the whole process took less than 3 months to complete. As much I loved this site, no one can tell you if the case will be approved for expedite or not. As I always say, each case is unique,each case is handled by a different person, each situation is its own.

 

Just do what you feel is best and never give up.....

Yes, I had a recent expedite that was approved for Jamaica, process took about 4 months to enter the US. This was for a minor child! The home the child was living in was destroyed due to fire.

USCIS Service CentersStarting to FREEZE UP HERE G-325a questions
Ok, I think I am making myself crazy!! Is this normal, I am going over all my documents and I see that on My husbands G-325a, everything was typed in (even the last line). However, it states the following:

Applicant: Print your name and Alien Registrstion Number in the box outlines by heavy border below

Will it be accepted if it was typed in or are they wanting you to print it by hand?

Sorry to be annoying.

IndiaIndians Will you take US citizenship?

I would only naturalize if and when India allows dual nationality. I will NOT surrender my Indian passport. It is an irrational sentiment, but that's how I feel. I remember when I was ten years old and I received my first passport and read the first page. "These are to request and require in the name of the President of the Republic of India all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford him or her, every assistance and protection of which he or she may stand in need. -- By the order of the President of the Republic of India."

I still remember how how proud I felt at holding that booklet and how deeply I was touched that the President would show such profound concern for an ordinary citizen like me. Of course, I was a lot more naive back then.

I love the US, I have now been here for five years and I enjoy the time I spend with my husband. I know plenty of Americans I am proud to call friends. I'm grateful for the thirty-two flavors of ice-cream and buffalo wings with blue cheese that is available in the supermarket aisles. It is a beautiful country and I am happy to call it my home. But I doubt I'd ever feel American. Not now, not if I lived here for another twenty years.

Though the thought of naturalizing is tempting just to be done with USCIS. Of course, it would be a lot more convenient in terms of travelling but I cannot, in good conscience, swear an oath I don't truly believe in. To me, my flag and soil are sacred and I refuse to give that up.

There, that's my $0.02 on the subject.


Even though I respect the sentiment and it kind of echoes my own, I'm not sure how it works if you don't apply for naturalization. Do you keep on just renewing your 10 year visa indefinitely? Wouldn't the US govt. have an issue with it?
fabulous02FemaleIndia2010-07-07 20:57:00
USCIS Service CentersThe recent CSC data shows why no visas are out.

if you look at this chart the spike was still going up rapidly and who knows when it might stop. By the way I-821 are temporary protective status visas.


Interesting analysis. Do you have any information regarding the reason for the recent spike in I-821's?

Also, the USCIS data only goes through August 2010. A similar spike peaked at about the same amount in January 2009, with a huge drop in February 2009. Is there any information that might indicate how much longer (after August 2010) the spike will continue?

Of course, California seems to be processing some I-129F's now, but Vermont seems to have slowed.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)administrative reviews in manila
My fiance and i had our interview on feb. 23rd i did attend, we had pleasant interviews with both consulars and the second told us there was some xtra processing our papers needed and to go to window 35. When we got to window 35 the women told us we needed to call the embassy with fathers name, while at the window i told her that we listed in all paperwork the father as "unknown" as that is what the birth cert and her mother told us. She took that info down and said they will have to review this and get back to u, but im going to have u pay for del bros delivery fee. I asked how long does the average review takes she said 6 - 8 weeks. 22 days after our interview my fiance had visa in hand. I was told by our neighbors in philippines that people in formal clothes came asking questions about "us" the week before she recieved her visa, possibly some kind of field investigation..... dont ask me. But im not complaining about 22 days from interview with an AR.

Hello all!

Gotta question. I filled out my I-129f Supplement. Checked my one box and signed the bottom. Really hard work.

Now I have another question. I visited my fiance twice since I sent in my paperwork. I spent all of April with her and spent 4th of July with her. I have additional evidence I could present: boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, atm withdrawals, and flat lease. Oh yah, I also have a ultrasound of my son? Should I send this addtional "Primary Evidence?"

Thank you all!

USCIS Service CentersCalifornia Calling

We have all read how to call in to the Vermont Service Center. But, I have not seen anything posted that describes the key sequence to reach the California Service Center. Does anyone have that number??

Or, maybe there is more than one California Center? How do the staffing levels compare between Vermont and California?


I wonder if there is a second location in California. When I recieved my I-797C it had the address...

California Service Center, 2nd Floor 24000 Avila Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0111

The website uscis says CSC is at...

California Service Center, 2nd Floor 24000 Avila Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0111

But the mailing address is...

hmmm.... I could have swore it was diffrent

I wonder if they built a huge building and staffed it will millions of people to help us.

I can only hope. :dance:

VietnamAppointment Letter Not Received (Yet)

I was chatting with my fiancee last nite and she has yet to receive her appointment letter from the Embassy by mail. Her interview is only 3 weeks away and I reminded her how important this document is to have in order to do her medical exam and conduct the interview. Can she call the Embassy and request them to send another one [in case the original got lost in the mail]?? I told her if she doesn't get it by this Friday, to go the Embassy on Monday and see if they can give it to her in person. Are these the correct actions to take because like I said before, the interview is fast approaching!!

Thanks


I think they do not allow you to go in without interview letter. there are 3 weeks away yet, you have to wait she will receive the letter. Good Luck
