So excited!! Got a letter tonight saying that the NVC has forwarded our petition to the Embassy. Woo hoo! I miss my man so freakin' much; meanwhile I'm reading the medical experiences on this thread and thinking about what my poor Honey's in for. Much respect for all of you doing this for us USCs!

Have you found Igor's List yet?


Thank goth for Igor's List. At the very least, it gave me something to do while I waited out K-1.

That's a damn shame. Everyone here already pays out enough for this and that, and at least w/a CR-1 you get a GC at the end of it. Most people on here are not rich. I feel bad for new K-1 filers.

And I am DEFINITELY staying away from Off Topic! :o Some of the people in there are so horrible I don't even want to look at it! :D


Ooh, girl don't you know it. And racists on top of it. Some of the mods on here are awesome and will put their foot up people's behinds when it gets super ugly.

Welcome to VJ, btw. And good luck.(F)

In other words, if she was 16 or older and in the U.K. for six or more months, then yes, she will require a police certificate from the U.K. as part of the Embassy process for your K-1.

United KingdomWhere to get Police Records in England?
Info on police certificates in the U.K.

This is directly from travel.state.gov:

Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Criminal Records Office.

Hope this helps!

John and Camie.....my congratulations. I am so so so so so happy for you. I was going to ask if John would mind distributing boxes of chocolates with little notes saying "please approve the Francis / Carr case on Friday 12th of June 2009....lots of love Ellie"


Awww! Oh caca, too bad I'm flying out next week instead of now, otherwise I'd do it. Maybe John will go back ... laughing.gif

Thanks, Ellie! I was up all night, but then I passed out on the couch with a cookie hanging out of my mouth. Woke up to John's text w/the good news, he was getting on his train back to B/Sea at the time, so now I'm looking forward to hearing how it all went when he wakes up. Will definitely fill everyone in here and in the reviews. In the meantime, the Happy Visa Vibes shift over to you, Ellie girl. I'm even crossing my eyes for you. blink.gif

VietnamPetition reaffirmed 10/12/2011

When I checked my email this morning. I got a suprise that I never expected quite so soon. Our petition was reaffirmed yesterday. I'm not sure what the normal processing time is to reaffirm a petition, but our's was done in a week. It would have been nice to be with my wife on my birthday, but I think having our petition reaffirmed will do just fine.
From what I've been reading here it looks like NVC is lagging behind, and with the holiday season coming up a interview will not happen this year

I am so glad to hear your good new. It is faster than the normal process. Did you have attorney help or you did it by yourself?

VietnamVisa sent yet???

I also am on the same boat as you, but i'm waiting for a us passport for my daughter. Pass the interview 10th of jan. Call us consulate yesterday said passport was there since the 20th of Jan. Did'nt send it to ems because of tet. Called again today, consulate said it's not there. so called ems. They said call tomorrow they should pick it up later tonight for consulate. So hoping it will be there tomorrow. Ems said they deliver in 3 days. My question is I tried tracking my package thur thier site but it dosen't work , use the number on the ems reciept. Could it be because i'm in Hue VN and its blocking certin sites in the net?

i you enter the EMS receipt and the circle arrow keep turn around and stop for nothing that mean EMS has not received your visa yet. If your visa has received by EMS, the progress will show on the drop down table after the circle arrow stop. It will shown the time when EMS received your package, the time when it left at EMS service, and the time when there is the receiving.

VietnamVisa sent yet???

my wife was approved on Jan. 17th, I guess due to the new year everything was close for a week.
just wanted to know if anyone in Ho Chi Minh that pass the visa interview Jan.17 - Jan. 20
got there VISA yet??? my wife lives 4hrs south of HCM.
She paid EMS the shipping cost of 170,000 DONG.

I had a 10 page timeline of our relationship, letters from my work, letters of both my parents.
Credit Card bill showing I paid for my own trip.
He was very polite and read all 10 pages of my timeline
and all the CO asked was how we met.

The wait was about a total of 3Hrs, and spoke to my wife for about 5mins.

My wife got visa approval on January 11. Visa has just sent out today. it is on the way to her home now. hopefully , she will get it in few hours later. You can track your visa courier by visit EMS.COM.VN and enter your tracking number it start with 2 letters likes EF or EG & 9 digit numbers following VN.

VietnamWife had interview today

My wife and I just finished our interview. I was with her. together they asked us a few questions and then the CO asked if I minded if she could interviewe us seperately. I agreed..no problem.. They asked her where I lived, what I liked to do. what my favorite vietnam food was, and if I liked the Coffee, and what type I drank. About 10 minutes later my wife motioned for me to join her and they asked me the same questions. Everything matched and she congradulated us. All together we in the consulate 3 hrs.... It was well worth the effort to make the trip for the interview. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Thanks for the support VJ

Congratulation! I am so happy for your guys. Well, your wish is coming true at last.

United KingdomNeed Help filing AOS
Hello,

We are attempting to file AOS on our own, but I am getting very confused with all of the paperwork. I have looked at the guides on here but it doesn't answer all of my questions:

There are two forms that require two passport style photos, do two count for the whole package or do we need 4?

If we are filing the I-485 at the same time as the I-765 and the I-131, do we pay the fees on all of them or are they waved for the employment authorization and advanced parole? I have read two different things here....

Also can you file the whole AOS package to the same place or are there different offices each piece has to go to? there are different addresses listed everywhere, I am very confused.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Sincerely,

Jodi

United KingdomGreen Card Interview
Well we never got an answer so here is our experience with the green card interview:

We walked into the courthouse building in Santa Ana, went through a metal detector and then went upstairs to the USCIS office. We waited in a large waiting room that was very cold. They called our name after about 40 minutes and we walked down a long hallway to an office, swore in and sat down. An asian girl no older then 28 was our adjudicator. She asked us a few questions such as how did you meet, where did you meet, where did you get married, can I see pictures of your wedding......after 10 minutes she said ok you are approved! She stamped the paper and gave us a printout and said your greencard will arrive in two weeks! Alot simpler than I had thought!

United KingdomAfter Greencard, how long can we be out of the country for?
QUOTE (MargotDarko @ Nov 10 2008, 07:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Technically, you can leave for up to a year without asking for permission in advance, but anything six months or more is very likely to be questioned and closely examined upon return, and an officer can determine on the spot that permanent residence has been abandoned with less than a year's absence.

Another thing to consider is when the green card holder wants to apply for US citizenship. If they want to do it as soon as possible, they cannot leave the country for six months or more at a time. An absence of six months or more resets the "clock" on the three years.

I would personally not leave for more than 5 and a half months at a time and not without good reason.

If you're talking about just traveling around the world as vacation, (if so, i envy you! tongue.gif) then I would just have a stop back at home as frequently as possible.



Great thank you! Well I lost my job and he may lose his job so we are considering staying in the UK for a few months to visit family and then take a few trips while we are not working. HOpefully that will be ok to re enter.
