IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Aww thanks John! I'm waiting right now for my husband to get online. I told him yesterday to bring his passport so that he can scan it. I wonder if he will remember?	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-04 10:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Thanks John! I'm sure everyone would love to get me out of their hair . I will be super happy if we can make an October interview. Hopefully next week we will see more happy people with the NOA2's. C'mon USCIS, be kind to those waiting for good news!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-04 10:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	John- My husband won't even be able to work on his paper collection until July 12th. Then he will have to wait another week or so to get the other documents (July 19th at least). Then another 2 weeks (August 4th ish) to get them here. That is if he doesn't take anymore delays in the process. On the other hand, I have yet to hear a response from my possible AOSer because they haven't received their tax transcripts yet (should be there by July 14th. Hopefully I will get a yes for that situation finally! russ and mary- Hello. Happy 4th of July to everyone that is celebrating!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-04 09:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Good luck buddy! I will be seeing you around either way!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-03 22:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Some of the 64 entries might be approved just not updated. 12 a week, eh? Wow! I can't even imagine that!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-03 22:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Good luck to everyone still waiting next week week! I see a few new NOA2's on Igor's list!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-03 21:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	The Jesal, I guess I will tell them next week to give you an approval by July 15th. Does that sound good?	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-02 18:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	The Jesal, I called USCIS and told them to torture you since you called and told my husband to be behind on his papers. Consider us even!!! Good one rvince! It is much better to get a hold of all of that now before you get the NOa2 and your brain falls out of your head! If you think you are losing it now...wading through all of that paperwork later on is too much!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-02 15:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Congrats CCNKC on your approval! I hope some other people get good news. If no more news today, then we will have to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday . Please make some people happy today USCIS!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-02 10:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	"Srta. needs-a-life" to the rescue, is more like it! I like the cure too. Although, we still hardly know anything about one another. I would never recognize you all if you walked right along side me for 2 miles. Internet is nice like that.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 21:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	No problem! NVC seems to be a more confusing stage than helpful while USCIS seems to just make people impatient. Which is the lesser of the two? Maybe NVC thinks that if you have come this far, you can read between their lines and make sense of their "this could have 100,000 answers," questions. The whole process should come with a warning label of possible health hazards like anxiety and depression and loss of hair (due to be so frustrated and ripping it all out). I guess a good "pill" for those would be VJ. Side effects of VJ are: making new friends, helping other people out, having others help you out, feeling at ease, schooling your spouse on the visa process, and lack of sleep (due to checking all the time).	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 21:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Chris&Cecil- you can just e-mail the form you find here on VJ. Don't worry about what they sent you already. .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 21:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	The only stuff that they sent me, I posted on here.

Ok...sooo I hope not really laugh at.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 19:30:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	New jobs?!?!?! I think maybe we will have some good news. Then we shall have to wait until Tuesday. C'mon USCIS!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 18:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I was gone for almost 3 hours and a few more pages added on here. I am glad that the conversation is flowing and that everyone is getting involved in helping others out. I would read something and think, "Ok, this is what I will say...oh. Nevermind, so and so answered that already." Good good. I hope tomorrow USCIS will push more people into NVC. I second what Tom said. Please let us know what happens in the next part of your journey and don't forget about the rest of everyone else. It would be so nice if we could just e-mail everything is like GUZ and MON and the Turkmenistan Embassies. That would save much time and money for sure. I hear you Rich with having to have everything take a while to receive and then sent up to you. Then again, since we are all in the same boat, it sucks about as equally for all of us. Except, of course, our Indian friends who have to wait for a special paper requesting they send in a form that they didn't send in because they couldn't send it in. How much sense does that make??!?!?! Best of luck to everyone!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 14:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Darnell predicted that we would get to 110 pages before everyone was approved. He must've underestimated our chatty Cathy's (ME....) and the people who have shown up recently. We might just get to 200 .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 11:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I just went to see the other in between March 4th and March 11th and some of those people haven't been on in a long time. I hope they received their NOA2's. June was a much better month for approvals than May. Hopefully July would be even better. John- 90 days!!! Woo! You are still alive!!!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 11:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Yay boldee!!!! Look at that...just when you weren't expecting it! Congrats! Woo hoo! Another victim to add to my thread . Don't worry people, I will be around for August too if you REALLY want to be in a thread with me. . C'mon more good newsssss USCIS!!!!! I wonder if they will close tomorrow and Monday or just tomorrow or just Monday.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 11:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Awww! Thanks. I saw it on here and thought, "What?!?!?!?! He didn't tell me????" What a good way to wake myself up. Happy people from my group moving right along to be closer to their loved ones. I'd love to be alseep right now but since I can't do that, I am glad I at least got to hear some good news.

How exciting!!!!!!!!! I will be glad to see you in the other thread! Yay!!!! ! What awesome news!!! C'mon USCIS...keep making people happy.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-01 08:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	John- I hope you don't get an RFE! Those proofs are extra. I sent pics of us printed on regular paper- lame, I know. I will take the good stuff to the interview. . I sent some other things too but nothing special. I guess our daughter's birth cert is what saved us. Please USCIS, don't give my good buddy John an RFE! Rich and Bey- I hope this all clears up soon for you. Sorry to hear about both family hardships. I hope you can be together soon!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-06-30 21:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	John- Why are you getting an RFE??? For associating with me? The Jesal- remind me to thank you later on when we are all kayaking with Tom! *Shoves into the water* I'm just kidding . I would love to have company of those who I have danced with (ok, I danced by myself for you in my head) on here through NVC but I don't wish for any of you to be stuck with me.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-06-30 20:38:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Oh snow pony1076! Your husband not being employed shouldn't be the cause for the RFE. I was unemployed when I sent in the app. Do you know what all he sent in? I hope it is just a small thing that can be fixed quickly! That is now 2 Marchers with RFE's. Boo USCIS!!!! JinyAndJony- I hope you get some good newssssss here soon! C'mon USCIS. I'd like to see my fellow Marchers and Marchettes get through NVC before I do. I know (as of yesterday) that I have to wait until July 12th for my husband to be able to start getting the rest of his documents ready (then another couple of week to finish getting his papers and then another few weeks to receive them in the mail). I should be waiting anywhere from July 7th to July 12th for the AOSer to get their tax stuff. This means that for the people who already have their NOA2's, you all will be zooming right on past me. Those who get their NOA2 on July 12th or before will zoom past me as well. Those who are after July 12th might be my NVC buddies. I hope to see everyone through NVC and on to their interviews with their happy moments of approvals!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-06-30 20:30:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Well, they send the e-mail version pretty quickly. The hard copy I don't know. Mail never shows up to his place so if we waited for that, I'd be waiting for years on end. I thought that in the VJ time line where it says "received packet" meant the snail mail version . So much for being a "gold member" I will now go put those times in my signature to be helpful (Sorry The Jesal).	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-06-30 11:24:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	The quickest way through NVC(for people who can't do Electronic Processing) is to be ready to go with all of your paperwork and send it off as soon as you are able to (after having paid the bills). There are times where you just have to wait during NVC. A month isn't so bad compared to the possible 5/6 months for an NOA2. This stage goes by fast so get ready (especially since you have something to do besides wait the whole time)! C'mon more approvals from USCIS!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-06-30 08:42:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Don't worry about touches. I didn't have any before my NOA2 (right before I mean. The ones I had were related to me harassing USCIS about the incorrect NOA1 sitch). If USCIS keeps working like they did last week, you should hear something within the next 2 weeks or so.

I still have to get a co-sponsor (I have to wait for the 1st one to tell me that they can't (waiting on them to receive tax documents in the mail)/won't do it) and then I am still waiting on my husband's papers (which will be anywhere from a month to a month and a half.
