QUOTE (nik1980 @ Nov 2 2007, 02:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone this is my 1st post after viewing these excellent and helpful forums for past 6mths or so. Without VJ this whole process would be so much more difficult so just want to say thanks to all VJers on here and to whoever created this website!!!!! good.gif Anyway I am an August filer and just to add to this thread we posted our I129F form on 3rd August 2007 when my fiance visited me in England. This was received at csc on 11th then added to system on 17th August 2007. We received our NOA1 by post a few days later and USICS shows last updated on 8/23/2007. The last time we checked our cheque had not been cashed, however we haven't checked with the bank in the last week or so. There hasn't been any touches since this date. Im currently in the US with my fiance and have been so since 26th August and Im due to leave on 23rd November to go back to my job so the first stage has been less stressful as we have been together during this time.
Anyway good luck to us all in our quest to get our lifes on track..cus it sucks having to have your life held in the balance by someone else and it completely messes with your emotions not knowing where you stand



Filed on August 28th all the forms through lawyer, K3 I129 I130 and as of today nothing so basically I dont even look any more to see if we have been touched....such a joke, and yet I cant even laugh except at what they post on their websites. Applications received in Texas on 30th of August and then probably sent to California.

Called USCIS get really good people, but one was exceptional and this is what she said to me......yes wait the 90 days before really getting upset and DO NOT GO BY WHAT IS POSTED - wow, an honest worker. anyways will just go about life as if I was this wasnt happening and waiting for this BS to end...maybe when the process all the workers permits we may get a NO1 - but not holding my breathe anymore - tis a joke........

Good Luck to all and have a good one hope someone gets touched today, no in fact I hope all of you do.

Cheers and yes totally beyond frustration..

Susie

p.s if anyone wants to know why i just dont call our lawyer, dont worry I did that also....and my senator and such.....but ya know you can only do so much without being obessed with this whole sorry issue.

Hi hun,

That is the timeline guessestimate to the NOA2 - but in some cases - well actually most - its just a hit and miss situation - the one good thing and I guess the only good thing about an I129F is that once you have that you will fly thru NVC and to the embassy -

Waiting was not a strong point of mine either, but with the help of you and your mate and others, you made me laugh when I was crying and said hang in there - its now my turn to do that to you.

You will read where they are processing certain dates, dont go by USCIS, come here and read and read - but not too much lol - its sorta a luck of the draw and even tho their (USCIS) website say that they process on a FIFO basic - lol - yeah right - tis not true.

Hang in hun, it will be over soon and then you can be home with your bluffster

xxxx luv ya and thank you for your support

Now that would be somewhat enlightening to see for sure - do you really think they want people to know that? lol hun, luv ya, only thing you can do is basically check here on mates that are within the same timeframe, same service location and get a feel!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHelp MAY CSC K1 TOUCHED REQUESTING MORE EVIDENCE?
Dont worry you will be ok, there are two postives to this (well if there any with USCIS)

1. They are adjudicating your file - not must moving it from shelf to shelf.

2. Once you get the letter, submit what they want - and it goes pretty good after that.

Keep in mind that altho USCIS is super human, sometimes that RFE is for something you sent in and they lost - so dont flip - just make sure you have certified copies of what ya sent and god speed from there

Cheers all-

Have been reading thru this thread and want to say just hang on - IT WILL HAPPEN - and with each approval you will put aside the issues that you had with USCIS for that step and say ok time to get this and that ready. You will never forget the wait tho and you will find comfort with people here to discuss your frustration and anger at how our government works.

Back in 2007 alot of us just got stuck in a blackhole - eight to 12 months to get the NOA2 - alot of us fought very hard for the news to be put out there about the wait, the information that is given from USCIS being incorrect, and then with every approval or RFE (whatever it was) we trudged onto the next step.

There are people still waiitng over 600 days omg - and you ask FIFO - it does not exist - dont try to discern that concept as its just a hit and miss situation. If you call USCIS and get a rep, dont take what they say for granted, for they are pretty much clueless - come here and read the threads, better than the New York Times.

So for the time being, get your ducks in a row, cause once you get that NOA2 your time and application will fly.

God Speed to all but again, not the best system in the world, but best not to try and understand it, we tried and finally just said it will happen.


Good Luck!

Middle East and North AfricaHome Interview by the Egyption Embassy
QUOTE (elwalk1965 @ Dec 2 2007, 11:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My husband called me today and said that a man from the embassy came to his families home and spoke with his parents, sister, a neighbor and him. He said the man was very nice, asked a lot of questions about my husband and me and how they felt about their son marrying an American women. Its now been 5 1/2 months since he had his interview and this is the first response that we've had on our case. What does this mean? Has anyone experienced this with their cases? Please advise.



Hun guessing here but read this thread about the same issue - Gl to you and habibi

Middle East and North AfricaI just lost it with my husband!
This is a very emotional time for you and the depression is and can be very un-nerving to both parties. Men have a way of thinking and women have theirs. We expect them to read our minds, and this becomes the problem. Usually, when you are taking anti-depressants (and depending if they are the right ones and if you really need them) you are going to go thru some strong mood swings.

We are here to lend that ear to you, for all you need to do is vent your anger/ You are bottling it up inside as we all do and then wham, we either biotch up a storm or go nutz in our own world. I happen to choose the explode mood and go to the gun range - sorry dont laugh but it helps - others go for a manicure or some go to their shrinks - it just depends on what is going to lift you out of the short term funk, as it seems yours is just cycle for the ####### we all are endearing right now.

Stress will tear you apart, and sometimes even tho we DONT WANT TO DO IT, exercise some of that off - I know , I know, you dont have the energy or the willpower, but this episode of your life will be over, and when it is, then you can look back and say ####### happened, but until then, know that you have support here - you are having what alot of us are going thru - I just dont choose the meds because of work, otherwise, I would be just telling the doctor to give me the strongest stuff, knock me ####### out for another six months and this ####### will be over.

You can also search out a group somewhere close to were you live to help you discuss what is going on inside - talking helps. BUT REMEMBER ONE THING - and the only thing that will make this ####### go away is TIME! Coming back to the states without hubbie has got to be tough, I dont know since I have not seen mine since we got married - THANK YOU VERY MUCH USCIS - but ask yourself one thing.............you are going thru this hell because???? When you get that answer and we know what it is, then hopefully the depression will lift and be gone.

I wish you only the best during this time as I do to all the people that are undertaking this painful process - never thought it would be a piece of cake, but didnt plan on getting the batter stick full of chocolate stuck to my tongue either.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThe Stupid RFE Thread
lol good thread

Which RFE do you want

When completing Aff of Support make sure u list three years of tax returns - and back it up with transcripts - yep we get a check mark for that RFE

When sending Originals to either USCIS or NVC - make sure you ordered additional cause one or the other is bound to lose them. - yep we get a check mark for that RFE

When self employed make sure you look at bottom line of Schedule C - they are not crazy about gross but really sorta interested in net on that one. This happened at interview stage today - arrrrhhhh - had to do I864a to include hubbies assets even tho its on your original sent to NVC - arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr blush.gif blush.gif Major check mark

And toss the lawyers to the shark when you have a chance, all they do is fill out the paperwork, they do not call for you so for that little item, I give our lawyer AN RFE. Check - just put them in the crosshairs of the bow and fire at will

Cheers and again still chuffed about the lawyer issues. Soddy gits they are

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting Part... Visa Process
wow heart seaching posts here for sure=

Cheers all and have not been here for awhile and then when I revisited I could only be gutted to see that nothing has changed with USCIS.

Even tho my hubbie and I are still waiting for that elusvie interview and have said good riddance to USCIS - i wanted to share something that was my sanity holder through out our process.

A friend after he had his approvals both thru USCIS and NVC and then again interview told me this.......when you get one, its like heaven, and you forget that part and you prepare for the next. He was right. But what I will not forget is the people that have the same timeframe as me still waiting to get out of USCIS -

When the time finally comes to be reunited with your loved one, always always remember, why you did this whole insane process and what feelings came out that you did not existed. I have thrown the computer, the fax, the phone across the office because of frustration, I took my story to the radio stations and beyond. People listened that were not in our shoes, and they were gobsmacked - they could not understand what the problem was.

The only thing that made me feel better was to hound my elected officals, and blogs and omsbdmn, some repsonded some did not, but damn I felt better after every email, letter etc.

Dont give up, fight when you are depressed for your rights! I emailed the ACLU once saying....i want to sue the govenrment...they said why.....i said because they took away my right of my pursuit of life liberty and happiness...they laughed and said...lady...that happened a lont time ago.....you just didnt realize it because you did not walk in someones shoes until now.

Hugs and prayers and godspeed to all waiting.

All quiet - Silas got his welcome letter last week and entered the country 4 days after me. He has not got the card yet but it should be the next few days.


Alan,
Just a quick update on my end. Unfortunately, there's nothing new to report. Will keep watching for the postie.


zero here too - not even the welcome letter - now 10 weeks on monday

I reckon they have switched staff to all these huge backlogs they have like 18 months now for citizenship and the DOUBLE applications they had at the time of the new fees..and they have to TRAIN 1,500 new staff

If other people were not in the same boat I would be doing my nut and popping my skull by now but I still think all is ok and I am a worryier usually...

GC is usually 11 days or so after the letter ?

just got my check book - wrong address of course - my wife's had a different wrong address on 6 weeks ago

2 wrong out of 2


I told her its the radio active rocks in the US that makes everyone so aggressive and violent and always referring to the latter part of the alimentary canal and administratively incompetent - the admin bit was just a merry joke which I am sure she will come to appreciate as the UK have been fouling things up for me twice in the last 2 weeks and i have received two thousand dollars in compensation from 2 banks in the last 3 days for 2 separate errors over in the UK...

come to think of it I am getting quiet aggressive myself, so it's either the rocks or the life experience here. My wife's brand new sky blue Camry has purple tree resin spots on it which have gone right into the paint and wont come out even with white spirit

I dread to get out of bed most mornings nowadays..

As I said to you in a pm, your post keep me going in the morning, afternoon and well for the night, lets keep that one out of it.

Cheers all,

I know that is has been discussed in so many threads prior to this one, but what do i tell my husband who is the brit that he will be fine for the interview - I mean he wants to take everything with him, and yet we have our checklist and all they are wanting ....again....is an original Marriage Certificate - his medical was fine, blah blah blah...you all know the drill......but.

Besides the standard items to bring to interview such as passport, photos, moneyyyyyyyyyyyyy, etc., and evidence of being married like pics, blogs from im, is there a real reason for him to worry that he does not have enough to get an "APPROVED" at end of interview.

All issues are clean for us, so I am sorta at a loss for words for him except to say it will be ok mate, well I can say that, I am not the one going there.

Thanks all and any little tidbits that I can tell him would be appreciated.
