Man I never thought I'd say this, but the CSC is on fire! They made us wait 2,000 months to get through May and June but July is lightning fast.

Hmm, I just noticed this message under my touch:

Last update 11-17-2010, with this message beneath (it may have been there before and I didn't notice it):

* Note on "Last Updated" date:
Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email and/or text message notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

Is this new?

Alright, all....Weird twist of things. On November 16th, the USCIS said that they were sending me an RFE. So yesterday I received (didn't pick up until today) an envelope marked 11/16 from the USCIS, but the only thing inside was the copy of my birth certificate that I sent.... :blink: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN????? There was no letter, no marking, no NOTHING with the birth certificate. Do you think more is coming? I just don't understand...I'm dumbfounded. :help: Why must they toy with us this way??


That is weird. I'm surprised they don't communicate with magazine clippings the way kidnappers ask for ransom.

I am so glad you two (ygr and nandi) are so open about things. Some of us forget about the difficulties some couples face during this process. Your stories let others going through the same thing know they are not alone. I have never had an argument with my fiance and our families are working with us on our wedding so the bond extends beyond the two of us. Then I start reading things like this and it makes me want to cry. If only the process was a little faster then maybe so many hearts would not ache and relationships would be saved. Ygr, please take care of your health and try to control your anger. Things will get better. Nandi, stay strong as well.


Same here. We never fight and are both equally committed to this grueling process. If we weren't, this would never work. I read this stuff and feel incredibly lucky for what we have. We are also fortunate enough to get to see each other every few months. I can't imagine what it would be like having to wait even longer. I just feel so bad for those that are having problems.

Sorry.




Anyway! So um, I was thinking about this today. For those of us that were touched last week, while we're waiting for our (potential) hard copy approvals in the mail our case could be, at this very moment, on its way to the NVC. Maybe the mail truck headed to our the various beneficiary's places of residence with the Golden Ticket will pass the mail truck with our new and improved approved petitions headed to the NVC and the drivers will tip their hats, nod, flash a winning smile at one another and zoom off into the distance. It could happen, right?

There was someone on here who hadn't seen her husband in a year and a half. :mellow: I can't even imagine that.

Ugh...it's really hard to believe all of this will be ancient history soon and we can all be like "Oh remember how much it sucked to go through the visa process? ...Actually I can't, it was so long ago I nearly forgot."

Aww, you still get butterflies. Butterflies of nausea but butterflies nonetheless. :lol: I can't imagine going through all this for someone who wasn't 38536784325743 times better than anyone I've ever met before.


Exactly. It's funny, we had originally met three years ago and were tour friends that would hang out whenever Arcade Fire would put out an album or whenever I'd visit the UK for a different show. I realized on a 2009 visit to see Blur in Hyde Park (he met me there) that he was so perfect for me I couldn't bear to not take a chance. Finally I got really drunk and realized I was looking at his Facebook page a bit too much so I wrote this long email telling him everything. I thought I had saved it as a draft, but when I woke up I saw he had replied and I nearly passed out from embarrassment. I couldn't let someone like him walk around without knowing how I felt. I'd regret it for life if I never tried. Fast-forward a few months and I was getting on a plane to "see about a guy". So, this whole thing is my fault. It's a good thing he finds me equally as awesome. I'm still shocked to this day that it worked out so well. I'm pretty smug about it. :lol:

I'd do anything to see Tom that often. I can't wait to wake up next to him daily. I am so lovesick I make myself physically ill. I've never been like this about anyone.

I shouldn't complain, we get to see each other once every 2-3 months. A lot of people on here don't have that luxury.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsquestions: form expiration date? how-we-met examples?
hello everyone! i'm getting ready to send out the the I-129F package on monday (finally)!
but i'm confused about a couple of things. i'm hoping you can help me!

firstly, i've been sleeping on filling out the declaration of how we met because i'm not entirely certain what information they need. we met online 9 years ago and more or less for the last 3 years we see eachother every 2 months (although we met 4 times about 8 years ago). confusing? :\ i'm hoping it won't be for the people who read our petition! would anyone be so kind as to show me an example of what they wrote?

secondly, we've been filling out our forms piecemeal. not the greatest thing to go about things, i know, but we like to be together when we fill forms out and some information (old addresses) had to be found. i just realized that some of the forms have different dates on them from when we filled them out. one from 4 months ago, one from 2 weeks ago for example. is this going to make a difference? will they send our forms back for inconsistency? should i just go over them in pen and give them a consistent date?

also, does anyone know if any new forms have come out in the last 6 months? what i mean by that is- they always tell you to check back at the gov site periodically as forms expire? does anyone know the last time that has happened out of curiosity? i just want everything to be right!

thank you so much!

Monday I sent the I-129f in to Vermont (overnight mail because hi, i am paranoid). I see that it takes approx. 2-3 weeks for them to get in touch with you. Will they be doing this with the email address I provided or through the mail?

also, when they get in touch, what do they say? And they will give me a case # so I can see my progress online?

Anyone going through Vermont, how long has your case been taking? God I'm nervous. It's very unnerving to have some Government worker(s) decide whether or not you are in love enough.

oh, the bureaucracy! cray5ol.gif

Take some soilace in the fact that you are on the same continent so the possibilities of visits are more possible and cheaper. I wanted to be able to visit for a couple of weeks next month, sadly i dont have a spare 3k lieing around....



i'm sorry. i forget sometimes that people are so far away and can't visit as often as two months (though even two months seems like forever). it's so frustrating, this process. sometimes i think they make it difficult to keep people who are not as hearty as some, apart.

So you included these kids on the petition?

Do you plan the kids to travel with her or not? I mean follow to join in one year from the issuance of her visa?
I don't think there will be problems. I'm just saying it's best to have pictures of you and the kids together.

It will be easier for the kids to join the mother during the interview, with that, the interview will be focused on your relationship with her.

The youngest will travel with her. The older daughter will come later.

When I petition for her I also want to petition for her kids. So, even though she won't have photos of me and the kids to show at the interview all she needs to do is prove our relationship is genuine and there shouldn't be a problem getting the two girls their k-2 visas?

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can tell me the truth. My now ex-fiance had no problem getting her marriage annuled.
She has an 8 year old daughter. She told me that her ex-husband won't allow her to take her daughter
with her so she decided to stay in the Philippines. Could she have brought her daughter
without her ex-husbands consent? Thanks
