thanks for beeing so much fun, guys!
i'm at a point where i just can't stand the separation anymore. there are no words for the feeling, and i know that you all know the feeling. it's just overwhelming me today.

my NOA2-Date is on Nov. 29. when will it finally stop to slide???????????????

just can't stop crying today.


that's wierd....we have same NOA1 dates but my estimated date is 20th Nov. I just can't stop thinking that if it was still date at the start, I'd only have 2 weeks to go. It's getting ridiculous, do they even care that this is peoples lives they are screwing with......no of course they don't, we are just numbers.

See what you think biggrin.gif

I have a friend who makes corsets - I have asked her to make me one for my wedding - this is what it will be based on:

http://www.bridalcorsets.com/v176u.htm

Debz - you sound like you lead a very interesting life - you do so much!! When do you ever see Nick?!


laughing.gif I love it!


With regards to nick, he comes places with me. When I have a location shoot he carries my kit. The corsetry days don't interest him. He heard my talk 3 times and decided enough is enough. I'm trying to sell 1 of my corsets just now. It'll be getting e-bay'ed along with alot of my other junk in coming months.

My OH suggested we send it to CSC biggrin.gif I thought it would be quite funny so I'm working on that too biggrin.gif



hahaha..can just imagine the puzzled look on the faces of the workers at CSC. That took me all of 5mins to write. Was one of these go with the flow things.


I too love the fact that we all have very different dresses but they all stunning...damn we have good tatse. I wanted a corset style one as I love corsetry and do voluntary victorian costume stuff at historical places in glasgow. I currently tightlace with a steel boned corset to 22" waist...now I'm 5'10 so looks quite dramatic. Not going to go any smaller though.

I don't have engagement rings as I really don't wear rings. Going to make exception for wedding rings though. We both getting titanium rings with the kanji symbol for love on them. Nicks engraving will be in blue and mine in antique gold. Both rings will be highly polished silver colour. Oh and my tiara is victorian and has been passed down the family and my veil was my mums so got the "something old" part covered.

With regards to not getting visa by wedding....I have until 3rd May so if no sign of it by early april then I'll make a fuss but will have been 9months by which point I'll be making so much fuss anyways.

yes Nick is here with me just now and I know I'm lucky but we still face the same uncertainty. It is some comfort. He goes home to nebraska on 6th December. It's going to be hard being apart then after spending a full 6 months together and being used to knowing that he's here. In someways in that respect it may have been easier to have a couple of shorter trips. I just keep having the same dream in which my visa is declined.

if people send me their info I have no problems adding it in. Takes my mind off other stuff like waiting and wedding plans. going to play around with formulas later or tomorrow and maybe make some changes. I think the seperate pages for CSC and VSC could get confusing once we get to AOS as there will be so many pages to go through. Might play around with layout too.

Going to throw my hat in the ring....I work as part-time event and services organiser for a law firm...now it's a scottish law firm that doesn't deal in immigration but I let one of the partners read the postmark argument. They say the wording goes along billy's description. "otherwise filed" means delivered by means other than postal service. So if they are being returned witha postmark before 30th, someone in their mailroom either has a serious grudge against immigration or they didn't get the memo!

With regards to the Cuba thingy from what I understand is that once the cuban has US visa they still can't leave cuba until they have a carte blanc (basically opposit of a visa, it's permission to leave country) so they need to go through 2 lengthy processes. If cubans had to wait same as rest of us for visa then they are talking maybe 12 months plus of paper work and waiting.

I mean, if two people are broke and from different ends of the Earth, how can they expect to venture into marriage?



Since when did having a certain amount of money define who and where you should fall in love? Sorry if this seems a bit snappy. But maybe the reason people don't have finances to visit 3-4 times a year is because they are saving for that marriage. If you meet the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with but in order to do that you need to be physically seperated for 6 months or more...surely it's worth it in the bigger picture of things! 6-9 months nothing when compared to the lifetime ahead. It's hard but if you gotta do it, you gotta do it. Nick maybe spending 6 months here with me on tourist visa but we spent 8months apart before this and after these 6 months are up on 6th Dec we'll be apart until I go over....hopefully March, visa dependant.

everything I say is meant with the upmost respect to everyone and there own individual circumstance. Lets all consentrate on supporting each other through the hard times we ALL face.

I'm just about to do several updates and additions to spreadsheet.

Not been on here much recently as been wedding planning. We have ceremony site, reception site, caterer, photographer, and my dress sorted....just need to sort out rest of my outfit, Nick's get up, his best mans, my bridesmaid (yes only having 1), cake, flowers and confirm transport and put order in for rings we've chosen. Our date is 3rd May so giving ourselves what we think is plenty of time.

Wee verse for everyone to think about....
When your life seems like a joke and your successes seem too few,
remember the mighty oak tree was once a wee nut like you!!

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Case Rejected

On August 15, 2007, we determined that this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was not properly filed, rejected it, and mailed it back to you with all supporting materials along with a notice describing the reasons the case was rejected. The notice will also describe what will need to be done to properly submit the case.



Here's our experience:

Mailed/Postmarked I-129f to CSC on July 25, 2007 (along with $170 processing fee). Received postal confirmation of delivery (signature obtained) on July 27, 2007. Waited for a month for our NOA1. At the end of August we received our packet back in the mail with an NOA stating that it was being returned due to the wrong fee being attached!!! The whole petition had been taken apart by someone at the CSC and reorganized, pictured stapled together, covering letter removed and everything all put back together with an ACCO clip.

We are so pissed!!! We had the package post marked and mailed before the July 30th fee increase and we have postal confirmation that the petition arrived and was signed for before July 30th. The NOA has a receipt date of July 30th (what a surprise...sarcasm intended).

Why was the package seemingly prepared for processing if the fee was supposedly wrong? Wouldn't the whole thing have been returned to us as we originally sent it? The whole "wrong fee" thing just seems like a money grab to us. We called to ask how we can remedy the situation as we feel that we are being charged the higher fee unfairly, as we followed all the rules. Also, our petition has now been unfairly delayed another 6-8 weeks. We were told that we should just re-submit the petition with the new fee because re-submitting with the old fee along with any postal delivery evidence that we have will only slow down the processing of our submission and may result in another rejection!

What a load!!!!

FYI: I mentioned in an earlier post, that our money order had been cashed on August 3rd...that information turned out to be bogus too!.

Does anyone out there see a little black cloud following me around? unsure.gif

We are upset about all of this, and are going to submit copies of our postmark and delivery receipt information with our resubmission along with a cover letter explaining what has happened and asking that we be processed under the old fee schedule and that we be put back in the processing waiting list according to our original receipt date. We are however going to submit the new $455 fee in order to prevent any further delays in processing.

Not holding our breath here...but hoping for the best.


wow, that totally sucks.

they rejected it on the fact they list the receive date as July 30th. and thats the first day of the new fee increase. The 27th was a friday and if they signed for it in the mail in the afternoon, they wouldnt process it in to their system until the following monday morning july 30th. They arent using postmarks but their own receive date which is posted on your NOA1. so to them the fee is incorrect. What a hassle to resend it and lose the time also. i feel for you but i dont think they will allow you to use the old fee or received date. They dont recognize the postmark or delivery signature. they only recognize when they process it in which was that monday July 30th.

tough break, maybe they will speed yours up alittle since its already packaged in their format and ready to go.


Chris



GET A LAWYER!!!! re-submit with new fee to prevent delays but keep reciepts of delivery and get a lawyer...USCIS clearly said that they would accept old fees as long as postmark was before 30th july. May not make a difference but then again it may....anything is worth a try to be with our loved ones.

At the end of the day, your wedding is your (and Jeremy's) special day. Think of yourself, you are allowed to. I haven't even told most of my friends I'm getting married as I didn't want the hassle of helping them with transport/accomodation.

Ok - all this talk of touching has planted the seed of touchiness in my head and all I want now is some kind of progress!! This is just a rant really as I know it's not been that long in terms of K-1 standards but where I used to check the USCIS website once a day, now I am checking whenever I have a spike of impatience which is becoming more and more frequent.

Obviously most here are in the same situation so how is everyone stopping themselves from going insane? I already live on this forum in work at the moment!!



I can't even get on this page from work, need to wait til I get home! I currently check USCIS status say every 2-3 days. Last week I managed to go 4 whole days. Believe me this has nothing to do with me having saintly patience, I'm anything but patient. It's basically due to the fact I'm obsessing over wedding plans. It's done me good to have something else to stress, obsess and worry about. I keep getting asked how progress coming along and I usually just reply with.."it's not". Here's something.....I've not even told all my friends here that I'm getting married. Leaving it to the last moment as I don't want them throwing a wobbly that I'm not having it here, trust me, some of them will be most annoyed that I'm not doing it here and doing the full celtic thing like they all do.
