It really is not fair at all!!!!!

Their system is all F'd up!!!!!!!!!!!

How is it possible that a gov't agency has this much disorder????

If you ask me ...the level of work ethic in this country is going down the drains!!! When you go to a store and ask for help, you getit with an attitude!!!!
For instance last night was the second time i had problems with American Airlines in the last 3 months....the first i was in Colombia visiting Leidy and when i get to the airport, they say " sorry but the flight was overbooked and we dont have a seat for you for 24 hours " what a joke!!! I missed 2 days of work because of it!!!

Last night my connecting flight in Miami was supposed to depart for NY at 9:20 pm...I was in the Plane by 9:00...It didnt leave until 11:40!!!! First they saidthey apologized but that the plane wasnt properly loaded ( Luggage ) ok fine then they start olling towards a take off then stop...we stand there for like 40 minutes and they say..." Folks your not going to believe this but we have to return to the gate because we dont have the proper paperwrok to land in NY".....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just seems like nobody works with passion anymore!!! I supervise a staff of 9 and maybe 3 of them are hard workers...i have to push and psh and push the others o work....I think that's the case with USCIS workers also....Like when i would call in the beginning of the process with the RFE trick or just for a question, its like i was scared cause of the damn attitude these people had!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like with my lawyer...when calling her its like i am an inconvenience to her...last i checked she works for me!!!!

Seriously , this country is going down the drain if it keeps going like this!!!!!!!

Thanks soch!!!

Actually the cutoff date for interview dates in the Colombian embassy is between the 15th and the 20th of every month so i probably have to wait for a Jan interview! sad.gif


NOOOO!!!!! so what are you saying? I should lose hope!!! (on your holiday) NEVER!!! smile.gif



laughing.gif .....Well i faxed the forms in with the the letter asking for a DEC interview...I highly doubt its going to happen but God willing you never know!!!!!

My God that would be the ultimate Christmas present!!!!!!!!!!

But like i said i doubt it because even reading the embassy's site..it says how if you get it in before the middle of the montrh you get an interview the next month, if not you go to the month after... sad.gif

Question: Is there a way to track your petition after leaving NVC if you have the case number?

Thanks



Im not sure how it is going through Nigeria...for example ...through Colombia i tracked it through DHL which is the courier that gets it to the embassy.



Thank you Bryon, I am very happy that Leidy is doing fine now. God is Good.

When you tracked it through DHL, did you use the new case number? I really appreciate your help.

Someone posted what the numbers meant, do you remember?

Thank you so very much Bryon.



Actually what i did is i went to the DHL and tracked by refrence...for refrence i put 21 nov 2007 and for the dates i put the date it left for the embassy second and a date 5 days before first..i just kept playing around until i got a list of a bunch o different dhl sent stuff from different places and looked for the one leaving to Colombia...clicked it and sure enough it was delivered from the US Dept of state....

WE WERE TOUCHED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not believe it. I know that we may still get RFE...but at LEAST we know someone is looking at our file. Im in tears. I cant decide weather to laugh or cry...weather to be happy or scared. WOW. Mixed emotions. Almost 6 months of seeing the same date. Just to know someone opened our file and is looking at it. I wonder if a touch means they ordered our background checks? Or if it means the name check is done and now they are reviewing it. Either way...

PRAISE BE TO GOD!!



YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMRSSNOWANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight i realized how much all of you guys prayers were needed!! I ate dinner and then Leidy's mom called me, so we called Leidy 3 way and started talking to her since they moved hr out of the intensive care unit...so we were talking then Leidy started telling something that i didnt know and that made me start shaking and i had to tell Leidy and her mom to hold oncause i felt my food coming up my chest, she told me that they had to use the machine that gives you an electric shock to try to bring you back when your heart stops!! I couldnt believe what i was hearing!! So basically Leidy was gone for a moment!!! This is why i say that all your prayers are SOOO appreciated!!!! Thank God she is getting better now!!!!!!! I could not imagine having to deal with something happening to her!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS!!!!

Its amazing the roller coaster of emotions that everyone has to go through when going through this process!!! I think that EVERYBODY goes through the exact same highs and lows with this process!!! I wonder if those who go through this process have a tighter relationship than those who meet regularly because of the strains and efforts that we have to go through just to be with our SO's....

Thats weird! If im not mistaken, for example going through Colombia with this process, the birth certificate does not need to be translated UNTIL the AOS process....Bill y Bella, am i right or wrong??


As far as I know Bogota does not require the beneficiary's birth certificate to be translated for the interview as long as it is in english or spanish.

However, Jamie received the RFE for a translated beneficiary birth certificate during the I-129F adjudication phase, so his situation is different than your's Byron. You have already cleared that hurdle.

I still think that there must be a unique situation that prompts USCIS to request the beneficiary's birth certificate. I also don't think that the translation is a key factor here. Any non english document submitted to USCIS must be translated.

I was advised to send a translated beneficiary bc with the petition by a non VJ "advisor". However, there was not enough time to obtain if we wanted to beat the price increase and I could find no documentation on VJ that said it was required so I submitted without it.



Bill y Bella thanks....you calmed my concern!! good.gif

Thank you everyone...I actually have not been able to talk to her because of the tube in her chest, i have been calling her sister and she has been keeping me posted....She really hasnt stressed about the process at all...She is very patient....they have her stable now and will be removing the tube in a couple of hours but they will keep her in the hospital for observation...She does have bad asthma and before going to the hospital she told me that 1. she cooked and there was a lot of smoke or 2. Her sister has a hamster and her son was playing with it when it bit him so she grabbed it away from him so that might be a cause also...I willbe going to see her on Dec 7th Jason, so yeah that is a huge relief!! I hope all will be well by then!!! This is so hard being so far away and helpless...if i was there i would not even think of leaving her side for a second!!! Jason she has had these bad asthma attacks in the past from what she has told me.

I appreciate all your prayers !!! Thank You!!



Hey Byron,
Congrats again on your NOA2! At least that's off your mind. I'm glad Leidy is doing better. You might be right about the hamster as a problem. A couple years ago we had a couple hamsters and after bringing them in for the winter from the porch I could hardly breath or sleep until they were gone:(
I'm glad she will be here soon with you


That and i just got off the phone with her dad and he told me that yesterday she had her aunt over and she did a waxing of her eyebrows and the doctor said that the fumes let out by the wax was probably the cause of the attack being that she is such a delicate person due to her severe asthma.
Im sure the hamster didnt help either.

Thanks Virgillionaire for your good wishes!! good.gif
