Thanks Maliciant, Cuchita and everyone for your help, support and good wishes re: the unemployment. I am determined having come this far we will stay here where we belong forever. I have passed through the panic and am now back to fighting again good.gif

Congratulations to Mara on getting to see your SO. You deserve a great break away and some time together.

Freddy:- Your time must be coming very soon, you need to focus on getting well so you are on top form when they arrive. Speedy recovery!

Its so fantastic to hear that so many people's cases are moving along. Interviews scheduled, plane tickets booked and even those who are married/about to marry are proceeding with paperwork. We have all come a long way guys and its great to do the journey with so many caring and helpful people..Thanks.

Can anyone help me with the preparation of our new affidavit of support please? I am slightly confused.

When we filed for the K1 visa my SO was employed and he earnt over the poverty amount so the filing of the affidavit was easy. He has now been made redundant (laid off) and so his income is obviously much less. He does own his own house though, so as this is an asset can he still file the affidavit or do we need to find a co-sponsor? I am panicking, we have got so far down the re-location road, my son has started school, I have got my SSN I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO GO BACK!!! crying.gif

Please.............HEEEELLLLPPPP

Thanks

Mia you looking for me? Anyone looking for me? Anyone miss me? I heard this thread is so quiet?

I've just been busy, keeping busy, extremely busy, hehehe.

I'm still alive and well, using the waiting time to save a ton of $$$, I will be needing it.

Status? it's on my signature.

LAWYERS will not follow up for you anymore after interview, I learned that! but hey I have established a contact in the embassy and I follow up directly with the NBI which is what allowed me to get my case moving and not IDLE. I learned you cannot just sit and wait, you have to pressure them to show them that someone DEMANDS status, not want but DEMAND.

Why demand? As an American Citizen it is your right!

Anyways I am just being patient and strong as always. WISH US LUCK and I will still nee dyour prayers!

Im sorry for being gone for so long, I will try to visit as much as I can.

Take Care everyone!

Its good to see that you are being active in getting some results Fred! All of this effort is bound to pay off shortly. They will expedite that piece of paper just so they can get you off of their backs he he ...wd! great strategy. Best of luck!

I wont be posting here for a while I am afraid, my SO has just lost his job and we need to get sorted. Our whole future is in the balance.

Good luck to those who are waiting.....I am sure things will start moving along for you soon.

Hi everyone!

Glad to see that things are moving for most of us, those that are still waiting, keep fighting and hold on! You have come so far you dont have much further to go....

I am now in the USA and was wondering if anyone knows if my son can go to school on the K1 visa? or where I can find out about it please. I was surprised that I didnt get any further info from Border Control after my 1.5 hour wait at Newark airport.

We have postponed our wedding from 21st March to early May today so that we can just have some 'breathing' time together and time to plan a lovely wedding day rather than rush it.

Thanks


Awww thanks Cuchita thats very kind of you biggrin.gif

Thanks for your advice about the school. We have started registering him in school and they dont seem to have a problem with it but thought I would just check biggrin.gif

We actually live in PA, but Newark was cheaper than Philly to fly into. But still, in this huge country I could still be your neighbour biggrin.gif

NOA2 Feb 12.
NVC arrived Feb 19.

Additional processing... No time frame.


I have been married before. Maybe that is a red flag? She is also 20 year younger.



You'll be fine soon, there was another NVC AP here just a short time ago, he got out of it in about 2 weeks. Keep your chin up.

Ok, let's get this thread back to the top...... our group has been hiding for a few days now. Anyway, my fiancee finally got her visa/passport in the mail today in Pakistan. Lucky for us, cause I had already booked her flight to the States before actually getting the visa physically. (I like to take those types of risks, it's exciting and all about positive thoughts)
Her suitcases are nearly packed and in about 2 weeks, she'll be landing in the USA. I'm still pondering upon the question she was asked by the embassy if she'd planned to marry someone other then me once in the US...... Huh she said in response!

Eggs - well done mate - you and Laura J are next through the gate.


I'm more then willing to help pack her suitcases, matter of fact, she and I joke about that all the time. I'm hoping for a March wedding, we'll see who wins that battle. Looking forward to hearing more from the rest of our October gang.

Thank everyone, and I have to say, the guides, help and friends here truly do help getting through this journey. I don't have details on the interview yet, but it seemed pretty easy for her. She wanted to speak to someone in her native language of Urdu, the officer asked why? She said, because I don't want to make a mistake. The officer said, I wont let you make a mistake. How nice. I'm missing details, but he soon said, I am giving you the visa. At this she was so surprised that she asked him two times "are you giving me the visa?" The officer was about to request a translator at this point when she said, I understand you're giving me a visa!!!! LOL

Mr Khabatti - we've not forgot your girl goes to her "grilling" this coming Monday! We'll be sending her our thoughts, we know that embassy isn't the easiest and you let us know as soon as you get the GOOD NEWS.

that_girl, aka the milk drinking soothe sayer - you sure make me chuckle too.

What would any of us do without VJ? Seriously, can't imagine what it must be like doing the journey without this online comfort blanket.



Thanks for the good wishes and while I'm thinking 100% positive, my girl's a bit nervous of her day in "court" The last two VJ members got their visa approved within 5 days of their interview in Islamabad. I asked her to call me with the results regardless of what time it may be here in the States. Pakistan is 10 hours ahead.

As Kabhatti says, it is sooo much faster now. I just called and got through to NVC (was too impatient to wait for my email to be answered). They confirmed they got my petition, gave me my new NVC case no. and said it would be sent on next few days.

Matter of fact, once I got my case number, I was getting superbly fast response time from my consulate via email, like within 12 hours and that was because of our 10 hour time difference.

Hi Kahatti - and Stet if you're around today

Wot number is the best to call for NVC to check if they have the petition from VSC etc and to get a "live" person? I can't seem to get passed the automated system and what a mind bending earful that is! Hope you're all good today.


I emailed NVC and they responded with good news here, making sure my EAC number is in the subject line etc.

Here's what I gather was my timeframe:
NOA2 12/29/09
Emailed NVC 1/5/2010
Response from NVC 1/9/2010

The NVC’s e-mail address is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.

Operator Assistance
Telephone operators are available to respond to more in-depth inquiries.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM (EST)

I just tried calling the NVC a few minutes ago and they are closed due to the bad winter weather winter knocking out the power. If I had to venture a guess I think that they have missed quite a few work days lately due to bad winter weather in the greater DC area. I would think that would get them behind in their workload.


Just for your information, it is my understanding that NVC is actually located well north of Washington D.C. but there's probably more snow there anyway.

probably goes without saying, but all of you late Octoberians can help make up for lost time by having your packet 3 info ready to go the minute the embassy requests it. Also, keep in contact with your consulates via email, it'll save you a few days easily instead of waiting for snail mail.

The NVC’s e-mail address is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.

In order to ensure a prompt response:

The Subject Line of the e-mail should be the relevant NVC Case Number.
Provide the applicant’s name and date of birth and the petitioner’s name and date of birth.
If you are an attorney, include the name of the law office requesting the information.
If the petition is employment-based, include the company/organizational name.
Reference only one case per e-mail.

Call the NVC at 603-334-0700 press 1 then 5. You will need to reach a live person to get information on your case since the NVC’s automated system does not handle K1 visas. Give this person your I-797 NOA1 receipt #, they will let you know if your package has been received.

Good luck.


I emailed NVC and got a quick response from them indicating they had received it and forwarded it to the embassy.
