Good day family! Was switching computers and was out for a bit, I hope all are doing good!

Richard... I am lifting one... wait, 3... no seriously, I hope you get your NOA2 soon. This is getting a bit annoying! The bureaucracy is driving me nuts as well...

I'd like to ask for a bit of help. I hope my packet made it to Moscow by now, what would be our next steps? Are we waiting from the Embassy to send something to my SO and myself? What is the process like from here to the interview? She already got her police report done long time ago...

Thank you!

Thanks!

Rich and other, I am sure your NOA2s will come soon. I remember how painful the wait was and I wouldn't have made it without this family support. Hang in there!

Wooow, had to catch up on reading big time! How you all doing? I hope all is well with my family here!
I spent 3 days in the mountains with my whole class of 2009 :wink: celebrating the end of school. What a great time we had! Went up to NH, went swimming' in Osseepe Lake, hiked a mountain, lots of fun later in the day, lots of fine alcoholic beverages have been consumed - great fun all around! Graduating this Sunday biggrin.gif

I have a question for my family.

Last year I worked for a company, got 1099 and w2 on hand. I got laid off early this year and I now work as a contractor part time at 2 different places, about to get 3rd part time night job.

When submitting my affidavit of support, would showing copies of checks and 2 contracts + w2 from last year be enough?

Thanks!

Did I tell you guys the story of the Cuban restaurant in Prague? It was a small portion for a lot of money and the food was decorated in a pattern on the plate. I told Maria.... "Real cuban food is not decorated on the plate, it's piled on the plate and 5x more food for 5x less money". It will be a party for her face!!!!


I went there the day we were leaving Prague... I am sitting there and thinking, this has Cuban place. Food was good though, too bad we were in such a hurry sad.gif

It is so great to see interviews schedule, SOs arriving and re-uniting!
I called NVC center yesterday and the packet left to Moscow 6 days ago. Not sure what the next steps should be and what time frames do we have for these...
Haven't seen Natalia since October ;(

Thanks.

Just dropping in to say hello. Our file was in and out of the NVC like a flash. It left yesterday for Bulgaria. My SO already has just about all the documents gathered and translated that are necessary, so we're hoping for a quick appointment for the medical and interview to follow shortly thereafter. Definitely going to attend the interview and bring her back a few days later! with any luck I'll be over there in about 3 weeks!



There you go!!! And you were worried?!!! See, all is good, roll it up and enjoy the ride biggrin.gif

Thanks. I am graduating college in a week and getting a job right away would not be easy I would think. I do have income now, but I think it will be barely cutting the line (125%).

Don't forget you can also use assets to help qualify as well. But in the event of a cosponsor... I wouldn't worry too much about having one.



I am mostly worried about adjustment of status stage, it is my understanding that I cannot have a co-sponsor for that stage or am I wrong there?

Well, since I didnt need one, I did not investigate it.... but I dont understand why not? Logically, if they let your SO in the country with a co-sponsor (meaning that someone needs it to qualify) surely that someone would more than likely need one for AOS which is generally a few short months from POE. That said... I honestly do not know for sure... also... you will have more time to get the job and earn a living, which hopefully will help as well.

Do a little digging... sorry I couldnt be of more help... After all, I am man and I am useless smile.gif


biggrin.gif Thanks Richard! I too want to land a good job obviously, but in the meanwhile I am willing to work 23hrs to make the living so either way we'll make it. It is more about papers and following "rules and regulations".

Does anybody know how do they look at co-sponsors in general? Does it lesses our chances of getting a visa?

Thanks.

No reason there should be a problem, but still nervous...

should know by midnight I hope...or worst case in the morning...



Don't worry Dave. Be prepared to have a great phone call sometime tonight.


Jenny is online now - she got a Pink slip kicking.gif good.gif

She said she got a kind and approachable pre-screener, and then only had a few questions at the interview:
how and where we met
who is the petitioner
her birthdate
my full name and citizenship

now just waiting for delivery smile.gif


Awesomeness! Happy for you Dave, hope Jenny will soon be with you. Congrats!

OK Everyone...here is the scoop.

She went to the interview checked her phone at the desk and went up. They called her to the window and asked for her papers. She gave them everything on the list, which did not include evidence of on-going relationship. they took her papers and made her wait for 45 mins. Then called her in again and asked her a few questions.

Where did you meet?
When did you spend time together?
Was he ever married?
How old is his daughter?
Will you work?

Then told her everything was in order and very good. Come back tomorrow at 10 am for passport with visa.

It took about 2 hours. They even had the papers from the USCIS, from the approval submittal.

Easy as pie if everything is in order!


Nice nice nice! I hope it will be that easy for the rest of our family!!!
