it is nice to know there are others out there that are going threw the same thing.
I am really glad I found this site. I have learned so much. I had no idea how complicated it can all be and I never thought it would take this long to get through VSC.

Today I had to answer those annoying questions again. I stopped in at the local supermarket ( the one where everyone knows you and has to pry into your business) How is your husband Jen? why isn't he here yet? Did you run into a problem? Will he be here by the summer do you think? OMG I wanted to scream ! Also, there are rumors going aroud in Costa Rica that my husband was approved and the Embassy has his passport already. My husband and I laugh because WE don't even know anything yet and his passport is in my nightstand ( here in the US) . I asked him who he talked to and he said NOBODY. Its just funny how people feel the need to talk ######.

I made it a point not to tell anyone about his immigration progress because I wanted to avoid the blabber mouths. I only write on VJ what I find out and my husband is the only person I tell. Alot of people know I am waiting for him but they know nothing else. When they ask , I just say we are still in process.

oh yeah, that happens to here
everybody figure i was gone

ps how can he travel if you have his passport




star_smile.gif I have his passport here because I had to make a copy for the attorney. He told me to hang on to it so it doesn't get lost. He doesn't travel so it doesn't matter. He only wants to come here. When I go back to Costa Rica for his interview I will bring it with me. whistling.gif

AWWWW I feel for you. I don't know how you do it. I can't really afford to go back and forth but my heart drags me. I can't go more than 6 or 8 weeks without seeing him. He doesn't have a computer so Skype is out. Although I am leaving a laptop for him this time so hopefully we can connect with skype.

Hang in there. I know your heart is hurting. Just think how wonderful it will be when he finally gets here !!

I sent my husband a form to sign for a tax ID number. I am almost sure we can. If you read the instructions for filling it out it asks if the applicant has a visa. I know when I apply for my daughter's financial aid for college they will use my husbands income from Costa Rica so why can't I add him to my taxes. He counts as a family member.
Look up "Tax ID number" on the IRS.gov website. I printed out the form for my husband to sign. He was supposed to FEDEX it back to me but that was before I booked the trip for next week. He asked me this morning if I need it this week. I told him to forget the FEDEX. I will just get it when I am there..

HAHAHA I know exactly how you feel. I was planning on working on my taxes while I'm in Costa Rica. I just bought a new laptop so it will be much easier.
Everyone thinks I am crazy for going to see him every 6 or 8 weeks... My heart can't take being away from him...
I just got off the phone with him. He is working today and it is raining. I feel bad for him because he works on a motorcycle and he has to be out in the rain all day.... He's so bummed out
I told him when he gets here he never has to work on the weekends or at night.

Been there, done that with amoxicillin. Not pretty !!! I spent 12 long days 3 times my normal size and hives and welts all over my body. Emergency room two times.... UGHHH it was a nightmare. After that, I went to the allergist and was tested for everything because I turned super paranoid. ( post traumatic stress disorder.... hahahahaha) That was 11 years ago. Take lots of Benadryl. 50mgand two Corona's knocks me on my ####!!

I'm sitting in the house tonight. I am with my youngest daughter. My son and my older daughter are out. My husband called me all stressing out. I talked with him for almost 2 hours. I really can't wait to be there with him next Saturday. I hate to rush the week... Hopefully I will have some good news to tell him when I get there.

I so wanted to call him today with good news to cheer him up. He needs some good news ! He is having a rough time over in Costa Rica. It sucks that he can't be here with me. ( THANKS USCIS, VSC etc..... !!!)


The Jolie size lips were cool, but the hives and welts weren't...I think i have been high on Benadryl and advil over the last 24 hrs.

I am hopeful you will hear some good news in time for your trip to Costa Rica...7 more sleeps smile.gif Hope your youngest is doing well... are you gals having a PJ party tonight?? smile.gif


Kinda like boobs when your pregnant.... They're cool but the belly isn't !! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
j/k
Julia is doing well. She will always have the tumor for the rest of her life unless it starts to grow at a rapid pace, then they will start meds and radiation. . I don't want to go that route because Iw ant her to grow up and have children and have everything she wants ! She already had surgery so they won't do that again, PLUS, the tumor sits right next to her pituitary gland. THey are afraid it is attached to the stalk that controls her hormones and pretty much everything else in her body !

Angie lips are very cool. I bet you are itching up a storm ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Feel better. Maybe a double shot of something strong will take away the itch and kill the cold virus you have. Two birds with one stone... 50mg of benadryl and 2 beers will make you feel wonderful.

Thanks for all you good wishes for me... I hope you get approved this coming week.
Everyone else TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

esposa,
what a bad thing to be allergic to..its the "cure all" antibiotic!

I have the house to myself since josh is at my moms tonight kicking.gif


Julia is sleeping so its like I'm alone.... At least til 11 when Kelly has to be home. Tom is with his Uncle for the weekend doing " MAN" things. He hates to be home with all the girlz !! blink.gif

Yea, I never had to take amoxicillin before in my life. I was like 30 when that happened. AND it was a 10 day script and I started the allergic symptoms after the 9th day. SO the meds were in my system for all that time. The whole experience made me afraid to take anything. I cringe when I have a headache and have to take motrin ( and I work for J&J , the makers of the darn drug)

I hate allergy season too because I am married to Zyrtec from april to June. My company also makes that drug.... you'd think I'd suck up my drug issues....

Hey, Narnia, hang in there, dear, I've gotta think you're right on the doorstep. I've been reading a lot of these threads lately, is it true that there are some June and July filers getting approved while April and May are totally getting blown over?

Amazing.

Well, if it's any consolation, the next phase is not absent of drama. Take a look at my thread in the NVC forum, and you'll get a nice slice of what can happen once you get over to the "other side". I think the biggest lesson I've learned from this whole journey is what we (those who chose foreign spouses) are willing to go through to be with our SO's. I'm now thinking that ALL couples (including american/american) should have to go through this prior to being issued a marriage license. The divorce rate would be cut in half.

Best of luck, baby. Take care.

I have my husbands passport here with me in the US. Can I get a certified copy here even though he is not here? He has the W-7 to sign and I will be bringing it back with me on the 10th. Or is it easier if we take his passport to the embassy in Costa Rica and get a certified copy? Since I am going to Costa Rica on Saturday I want to get this taken care of.

Nonresident alien spouse. You are considered unmarried for head of household purposes if your spouse was a nonresident alien at any time during the year and you do not choose to treat your nonresident spouse as a resident alien. However, your spouse is not a qualifying person for head of household purposes. You must have another qualifying person and meet the other tests to be eligible to file as a head of household

If you're married, you're married, doesn't matter where your spouse lives, you have to file as married.

Your spouse will have to complete a W7 form, and you will have to claim any income that your spouse has. The foreign spouse is tax exempt up to I think $87,000.



Then do I need his last paystub from 2008? HMMMMM or can I just estimate his earnings based on his hourly rate I wonder?

I thought the K2 and K4's were derivatives of the K1 K3's so I can't see how the children could be approved without the parent being approved as well. There may be some issue with the notification?

I could be wrong but that is my understanding, certainly in the case of K4/3 as that is the process I went through.


I filed I-130's (IR/CR) for them. Not K-4's.

But I will tell you that we had an amazing day today. We hung out a little in the morning and then we went out to this restaurant in downtown San Jose. We go there every time I am here. Then we went shopping for school uniforms for his two sisters and his son. We talked all day and laughed and had an excellent time. Then we came back and watched a movie and he made seafood soup. He went to work so I am here in the house by myself. He is working all night. I feel so bad for him. Tuesday we will be going to the mountain. Only for two days because he has to go back to work on Thursday. I am loving every minute with him. It will be really hard for me to leave. ( it always is)

I figured I would share this with my K-3 family because you all have been there with me through this long, drawn out, grueling journey.

I received approval notices for my step-kids (actually they were approved yesterday). We filed for them in November 2007.

However my husband's case is still pending and "not assigned yet".


Wow!!! I know they usually put all family petitions together...I am going to be optimistic and say your hubby should receive his approval this week if they have just approved the Kids.

Please call USCIS / Senators to raise the issue and find out what the heck is going on.....I understand how frustrating calling them can be...but it needs to be done




Narina
I think it is a good sign that they approved the kids. I do know that they put the family members together. And honestly, I don't think they would approve the kids without the father. Maybe the adjudicator is just an idiot.
I don't think your previous marriage ahs anything to do with this case. You are free to marry 1000 NON-USC's if you want to. No worries.
I think this is your week. I kind of pre-celebrated today with my hubby. We drank a six pack of smirnoff ICE a little while ago.

NARINA this is what goes on at VSC.



Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Thank you. That made me laugh. I have cried so much today that my head is throbbing. I can't wait to go home. I don't like crying in front of others, but sometimes you can't help it. Once I'm home, I'm going to take a Flexeril and if I have any left, a Xanax and sleep until tomorrow. I'm too tired and sad to go on with today.

Jen, my "congressional inquiry" resulted in being told that they were working on April first... Yeah... Oh, and that my case has not been assigned to anyone yet, and it may take upto 60 days to be assigned. So NO I still have no idea if my physical hard copy of the petition is lost or not. It can say pending till dooms day. If no one goes and looks for the actual paper, then we'll never know, will we?

Not only is the light in my tunnel off, but the whole tunnel is collapsed and filling with water and I'm drowning in it...like that movie with Sylvest Stallone... can't remember the name of it. cray5ol.gif

34 min layover? Make sure you get on one of those cart thingys and let them drive you to your gate. That will get you there faster. I always fly through Houston. Once there was a problem with my bag and I ended up being really short on time. They took me and I made my flight.

anyway, Thanks for the well wishes.

Narina, if you get your approval while Im in CR I will run to the corner Shell and buy a beer to celebrate. Maybe we will both get our approvals and I can buy a whole case of beer. My husband will help me drink it for you !!

My husband has had the worst luck lately. I know why he is in such a bad mood. He doesn't need to be a jerk though. What's worse is, when he gets pissed off, his English goes right out the window. Then he is even more frustrated. I think its cute, He hates it.

We all can relate to Time Passing:



To realize
The value of a sister
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when
you can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:

LOSE ONE.

The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.


Do not keep this letter.
Peace, love and prosperity to all!

Remember...

Hold on tight to the ones you love!

Narina,
You made me laugh when you said they touched you by accident....

I only got touched once on only one petition. The other one has been collecting dust. They are probably taking so long to process it because they have to dust it off first. Maybe they can't read the case number anymore.

UGHHHHHHH
I called today too. Got two really nice reps. But they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I'm about to e-mail the congressional office again. It probably won't do a damn bit of good but it makes me feel like I am doing something.

I get to see my hubby in a little bit more than 24 hours.

Have a wonderful visit with your husband, I bet your busting with joy and excitment . I cant wait to leave Houston for Paris Feb. 10th to see him again, its only been a week since I last saw him, but it feels like a eternity.


Thanks,
Yes I can't wait to see him. He was such a jerk last night on the phone. I was about to tell him to forget me coming on Saturday. He hung up the phone so I sent him a dozen text messages to his phone. He doesn't have international service so he couldn't fight back... HA HA. I haven't heard from him yet today but I know he is working so he might be busy and can't get a minute OR he is mad at me and isn't going to call at all.....
I am flying in to Houston tomorrow morning and then connecting to San Jose. I have to fly through the airport because my layover is only 34 minutes. I'm not even gonna talk about what will happen if my bags don't make it on my flight.... KNOCK ON WOOD !!

I'm starting to think if I withdraw my petition, and then re-apply I might get the second application approved sooner than the first one... wacko.gif

NO!! Dont do that. When we withdrew our petitions, I cried for a week straight. Its a terrible, empty feeling. Give it more time. Even though your reason to with draw is different then why we did, its still the same ugly, lonley, empty feeling. Dont start this all over again, you have come a long ways already, dont go back to the starting point.




DON'T DO IT !!!! You'll regret it.

Thanks everyoneeee!!!!


Gaissossi,
Its a long story of why we have to re-marry, but its all okay now. We never gave up! The problem spands back to 24 years ago when I was a kid and was stupid and got married, but it was a invalid marriage, the man was married and had alias names, anyways long story, but took care of things again, and its all okay now. I will start a new time line when we send petition again. One good thing, a person can start over again, and we are together as it should be.




Immigration timeline dates changed to early July. What happened to JUNE????
I am referring to the dates on the top of this forum. I know it only uses the timeline data on this site... Still very depressing.
another week... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Where is everybody?

I think the approvals are taking it easy this morning, yesterday was exciting here with approvals, and God knows, they deserve it. Your time will come very soon, and a hugh relief will come to you with a calmness as they probley feel this morning. Hang in there Dear, today has just started.
Wishing you the best. star_smile.gif

Getting a job in Costa RIca would be easy for me but I have to become a resident. I could do that very easy since I am married to a Costa Rican Citizen. But after what happened to my hasband today and the other day.. I'm not moving there unless I can live in the mountains away from all the crime. I can't take my kids out of the country anyway so it isn't even an option.




What happened with VSC? I haven't seen any approvals !!!! Its LIMBO LAND AGAIN !!!
