Do you think its probably a refund from the application submitted by his ex?



i dont know i have decided our case is so messed up that it prolly wont be adjudicated for at least five more years.
i did call the day that the letter was generated so prolly just another one of csc intelligent answers as to why our case is still waiting cuz they dont know them self.

sara



Have you been able to fly down to get married in his hometown yet?
Maybe you ought to simply pursue the I-130 route

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHas anyone tried the new USCIS case inquiry system?
We are out of that stage, so no we are not aware of this situation, however sounds like great news cause we definately had a hard time with USCIS to inquire about our case and totally hated calling them!

well that will be only questioned at the interview....and hopefully by then you might be able to travel to india, to meet up with him?
Surely if you can file the I-130 with the certificate and get your approval and things start working out, your health will surely improve and with all prayers you might be able to travel.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
on a few of the other forums i see, although much older posts....telephonic nikah will give you a nikah nama so you probably need to tell that you did a telephone nikah...just get the nikah nama, then get an English translated version, that would simply state you guys are married.

you are good to go, until the interview where they ummm....might ask for pictures of the wedding. But hey, we worry about it then, right!
L179FemalePakistan2009-08-19 05:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
Sara....
I found a couple of good sites check them out.
So nikah on the phone would be considered as proxy marriage which in most US states is considered as common law marriage, however Montana recognizes it!

So here it goes....check them out and see if it helps and what you may do...you can call the office in the last link and see if you file for immigration, will it work or not?

best of luck again!


Proxy marriage

certificate

montana proxy marriage certificate legally

Sorry for adding on posts, but things keep popping in my mind....
The requirement is for you to be married...whether a temple, mosque, courtroom, phone....it beats them.

However, you can't 'tell' them you are married you have to submit a black and white document....so have these molana's do SOMETHING for you!

A really old family friend of mine married a USC over the phone as she was not able to travel to the US without the visa and her parents obviously would not allow her to go till the ruksathi...
I am not sure the exact process but I remember they did the nikah over the phone and once her visa was issued she left for US. This was in Kuwait. and her hubby was living in NY.

So its gotta work!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
Well as long as you can get something on paper I dont see why not.
Like all we had is our nikah in Pakistan....maybe the islamic center in montana and mosque in perviz's city can work together, maybe sign the nikahnama there and send it to you guys so sign here....then you can just file the i-130.
L179FemalePakistan2009-08-19 00:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
Sara, sorry to see that all the efforts you are putting in result in nothing but making you tired!
If montana recognizes nikah over the phone...go for it! Immigration will not even understand the nikah over the phone process however, see if perviz or yourself can get a document once you do the nikah over the phone and then just file the I-130. After that you are married...so so be it. Call one of the islamic centers in montana and ask if they can issue you a certificate or something? Or if perviz can get one and send it to you.
Then screw USCIS over!

* for those who don't understand 'nikah over the phone'...nikah is 'marriage' in Islamic terms. Islam recognizes a marriage as long as there are two witnesses on the grooms end and two on the brieds. Thus you are able to do the 'marriage' over the phone Islamically. There will be a priest (Muslim priest) and over the speaker phone with the witnesses on each end a couple can get married.*

So, Sara, once you can do that over the phone, you are married and should be able to get something in writing!

enraptured - with you on this....but would signatures help? who would we send it to?
cereza - Great idea, however I doubt it will help as she is not able to fly... sad.gif
JAprincess - WELL SAID! can't say anymore.


Sara - You need to quit with USCIS, as in not withdraw the petition however, stop breaking your head with them and start calling the media. have someone listen to you and speak up for you! I know you are a muslim, but when in Rome do what the Romans do...go to a church...ask them to help you. You need to be HEARD not read!!!
I also noticed you said you will be off your parents medical insurance....how about getting a part time job? that will help with your insurance, some pocket money as well as you might come across someone who can pull some strings somewhere!!!
If oregon doesn't do it for you.. How about you and your mom go somewhere else! Drive down to a neighboring state...get a job...get senators from that state involved! Tell them how your life has deteriorated with all that has happened to you. Maybe if Oregon would not recognize a nikah over the phone, try a different state. I know Illinois does.
Make it happen!

L179FemalePakistan2009-08-18 05:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportssome of you have asked for update on us
WOW!!
Sara, GOD BLESS! Really sorry to hear about this, but I am sure you don't want any sympathies from anyone! I really hope things work out, however my 6th sense says you should just drop this battle. If they made you wait for 2+ years just for an approval on the case, you don't know how long you will have to wait at each stage further down the road.
I am not sure what medical reasons you have for not being able to travel yet, however with all the stress you must be going through its really difficult to heal. And probably is effecting your health and wellbeing overall as well.
Did they ever tell you what this special unit is and if you can contact them? Are you dealing with CSC? Maybe all of us who support you ought to start emailing them on your behalf, though I wonder if that might ruin something for you!! ohmy.gif
You should write an article in the newspaper....have people speak up for you. If they have not been able to find anything on perviz for 2 years, what are they trying to dig out at this point!?!?


Our prayers are with you, however if there is anything we can do....pls let us know!

PhilippinesAR FOR 3 MONTHS
QUOTE (taj'samericanwife @ Dec 25 2009, 07:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
dec 25, 2009 marks the 3rd month of us being AP. its been a long and horrible journey so far and febuary 2010 will make it one year since we applied for my husbands visa. i keep calling at least twice a month to the US embassy. I wrote a letter telling them we could help them in their quest for our "relationship and identity issues" that they are looking for. they didnt require any more documents from us after my husband's interview. they didnt ask any odd questions.
why cant they just see that we are a normal young professional couple??? its so annoying, anyone with the some situation?


try to call DOC its will tell u that wats happen to ur visa.

PhilippinesMy Interview Experience

My visa interview was set at 830am. I arrived at the US embassy at around 630am with my mom and aunt. There was no line at the Immigrant Visa line so I was able to get in as soon as I got there. Lucky me! :) Then I went to the Immigrant Visa Unit and got my number from the lady at the counter. She took my appointment letter and asked if I don't need to go back to St. Luke's. I said no. I sat down and waited. I was observing the pre-screeners from Windows 17-20 and the guy on Window 19 was the only one using his microphone. I was sitting at the back near the CR but I could still hear his questions. So I was thinking I hope this guy doesn't call me. But what do you know, God has a sense of humor and HE called me! :lol: Oh well, so I went to him. He was a serious looking man and was all business. He was nice and not rude. He was addressing me in Tagalog and asked me the following questions:

1.What's your name?
2.When's your birthday?
3.How old are you?
4.The petitioner is your husband right? Where and how did you meet?
5.How many times has he visited you?
6.When was the last time?
7.How did he come to be in the US? (I told him he was born there)
8.Is this your first marriage?
9.When did you get married? Where?
10.Has he been married before?
11.What does he do?
12.I see you worked for (bank's name), which branch? (I mentioned 3 branches)
13.Have you ever been outside of the country? (I told him Taiwan when I was 14 for a Girls Scout training)
14.How long were you in Taiwan?

Then he asked me for my NSO certified BC, my CEMAR and the proof of relationship. I pulled out my binders and he took both of them. He checked one of the binders and saw that I only had 2 remittances from my husband. He asked me if my husband sends me money. I told him only when it's needed. So he told me to sit and wait for my name to be called for finger scanning.

I waited a while for the finger scanning. Then I heard my name being called to go to Window 33. The guy behind the Window is a kind looking African American guy. When it was my turn he had a hard time looking for my file. I said “Sir, it's that one on top of the others.” He joked with me and said “How did you know?” :lol: But he was smiling. I had no problems with the scanning. I was told to sit down and wait again so I did.

Then after some more waiting, my number flashed and it's time for the final interview. I got called into Window 32. The CO there was a young caucasian man. He was friendly and nice. We greeted each other “Good Morning” and then he told me to raise my right hand and swear that everything I will say is true. To which I replied “Sir, do you want me to stand up while I swear?” He looked up to me and I realized he was surprised that I asked that question. He told me “It's okay to do it sitting down.” So swearing done, he flipped through my files and asked me the following questions:

1.What's your name?
2.When were you born?
3.How did we meet?
4.When was the last time I saw my husband?
5.Is this my first marriage?
6.Has he been married before?
7.What does he do?
8.Have I ever been outside the Philippines?
9.When was his first marriage terminated?

He then double-checked my hubby's divorce papers to see if my answer was correct. Good thing I read that entire thing when hubby sent it to me :lol: Every once in a while during the interview he would type something in his computer. Then after checking the date on my hubby's divorce papers he told me “Well your papers seem to be in order. Your visa is approved. Welcome to the United States.” I said thank you and then he said welcome and told me to wait outside for my name to be called for further instructions (on the visa delivery). I said thank you again and he said you're welcome again :lol:

I sat and waited (again) and then heard my name to go to Window 37 where a Filipino guy issued me the pink slip we all have been wanting to get. It's a Visa Delivery Fee Payment :lol: I thought it was something more fancy :) The guy told me to go fill up the form attached to the pink slip and then go to Air21 counter and pay my delivery fee. I paid 236 pesos for it. They said visa delivery is about 10 working days. That's long :( Bummer!!

That's my experience. Hope you all get your pink slips too! :thumbs:


congratulation...!!!!
