Chinawhen will noa2 come?

Chinawhen will noa2 come?
still waiting for the noa2 mail coming .
but today,i checked uscis.gov again,
then found we got a new update on aug 30 after the approval on aug8.
any one knows what does that mean?
Ron-n-LinlinMaleChina2007-09-01 23:38:00
Chinawhen will noa2 come?
What is going on is USCIS had a fee increase go into effect July 30. This prompted a rush to file before the increas, and they are simply swamped with work. The important thing at this point is your case file getting to NVC. The NOA2 "approval notice" isn't an urgent matter.

I believe u are right.
we called nvc for 2 times ,but they said not receive yet and need waiting for 30days.
all i worrying is that our case file would be lost.

Chinawhen will noa2 come?
Another waiting-----we got approval on aug 8,but so far we still didn``t get the mail!
in the last 20days,nvc didn`t receive the case yet...
why is all this so freaking?
wondering what on earth is going on!
Ron-n-LinlinMaleChina2007-08-28 09:02:00
Chinawhen will noa2 come?
Hi, well all I can really offer is patience. There was a time when I was really losing my mind wondering what was going on.
Just think positive and know that you are not alone in all this waiting. We knew this would take time so we always planned
on taking each day on step at a time. It will come, so just sit tight. I am away in Austria on a business trip and I still check
it each day as if I was back home. But when you get your approval, I can tell you that you will feel a relief you have never quite
known. Good luck and post back once you get your approval.

Stay the course

Ron

we have been waiting for noa2 from csc for 3 months ,but don`t see any updates or touches.
wondering did they read our paperwork at all?


Hi, I was checking time lines and I found that you got your approval. Congrats! I've been waiting now 2 months. Any suggestions??

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionready to interview
Thanks for the congrats. This has been a very long process not only for us, but for everyone that came before us and everyone
that will come after us. I think we all know going into this that it will be a long road with a few bumps in the road, but there is nothing
like getting a text message saying (I passed) I hope everyone can feel the excitement that comes along with all the waiting. We made
a promise that once we got through all of this, that we would remain as active as possible on VJ because without VJ I would have had
a heart attack months ago. We want to thank each and everyone who helped us through this maze and what seems like a mountain
of paperwork. We want to give back as much as we have taken from this site. So please feel free to write us with any questions and if
we can help we will. Best of luck to each and everyone and remember no matter how long the trail, you will get there at some point. Some
faster than others.

I have sent linlin to bed for some massive rest and relaxation, but I am sure she will be back on here to post her experience. Its amazing that
she did tell me the entire interview took about 2 minutes. I guess that is fair. 2 years of waiting smile.gif

Good luck to all and we will see you here in the future.

R & L

Let me the first to Congradulate you and your fiancee.

Always great to hear good news! kicking.gif good.gif

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionready to interview
Linlin should be sitting in a chair waiting for her name to be called. I am here 8,000 miles away pulling what little hair I have left out.
I have been a nervous wreck for 4 days now and yet she remains clam. In the last 24 hours, I maybe have gotten 4 hours sleep, so
my work day has been a blur and 4 cups of coffee is not helping much. I am bouncing off the walls worrying, wondering. I even smoked
today just to try to calm my nerves. All I can do now is wait for her to call me with the news. For two years this is what we worked for and
I keep going over in my mind did we forget anything, but I know she is well prepared and if she was not in my life, I would for sure lose my
head if it was not attached to my shoulders. Ok...I am just jabbering on here. I hope to know something soon and I will let everyone know. Of course
you may have to wait until I can pick myself up off the floor smile.gif I guess until I hear from her, I will call the airlines and talk with them lol




I arrived Guangzhou on 20th .
In the early morning of 21st,I went to the Guangzhou medical college 1st hospital to take the medical exam.

i brought my interview appointment letter,passport,test forms,3photos.they are all must.oh,yes..money,600yuan.
everything went so good ,the nurses are all nice and kind,and they charge 200yuan cheaper than another test center.
their work time starts from 8:00am,but actually they start work at 7:30,i arrived at 7:40am,so i was so lucky to join the first group .
i want to say thank them for their serious and nice work, even when a docotor took me the blood test,it was not even sore....
After i finished 3 items in the 1st floor, a nurse lead us to 2nd and 3rd floor to take X-ray and other items,
we were just at ease and waiting to our turns.

I finished all of that at about 10am,
the nurse told me to come back to get the result package on 23rd----only afternoon,they can pack for u.
then I went to back to pay interview fee.
it was $100 before,but since Jan 1st,it has been up to $131. i paid 943yuan .
keep the receipt very careful,the bank will not back up for you.
that means u have to pay again if u lose it in case.

I returned the hospital on time and submit all documents and pics.
I got my package very quickly since i was well prepared .
now i am just finally ready for the interview.

i will post more after interview.
hope this is helpful for other people.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUS Consulate Citizens Hour In Guangzhou China
I am here in Guangzhou, China with my fiancée for my second vacation here. Every Monday AT 1:30 PM, the US Consulate in Guangzhou has what is called Citizens hour. This is for US citizens who are working on getting their spouses, relatives or fiancée entry permits into the US. So this is the procedure and anyone that is here in Guangzhou should attend if possible because you can have all your questions answered by some very friendly US Gov't officials.

First you arrive at the US Consulate. When we got there, there were only about 20 people, but by the end there were well over 200. They open the security gate and you must show your US Passport. At this point only US Citizens are allowed past this point, so make sure you are clear on what questions you want to ask because your fiancée will not be allowed past this point.

After you pass through the first security check point, you now enter another security check point. They scan you, no laptops or cell phones are allowed past this point, but they will give you a number and once you are done you can come back and claim your items. You then enter a big waiting room where everyone sits down and after a few minutes your are directed to which line you need to go to in order to get the number they will use to call your case.
Then the wait for your number to be called starts. The bad part about this is the waiting. You have a little time to burn, so you get to hear stories around you about petitions being denied and you can hear the sadness in their voices.
Once your number is called, you go up to the windows, show your passport and you are free to ask as many questions as your heart desires. This is not like when you call the DOS where they are short and seems like they are in a very quick hurry to get you off the phone. I must admit I was a little nervous, but even now I can’t believe how friendly and patient the Consulate officer was.
I waited about 30 minutes for my turn and all my questions were answered in about 10 minutes. Considering our biggest concern at the moment is that my fiancée has not yet received her P3, but when I asked the Consulate officer, he stated that it was sent out one day before she left to come meet me in Guangzhou. I will say that he made it seem more believable than when you talk to DOS over the telephone.

If you have any furthers questions on this matter, please feel free to drop me a note on here or you may email me at ronb@infosystems.biz But I will probably not respond to any emails until I return to the US in mid Decemember. I wish everyone great luck and success.

Regards,

Ron

Middle East and North AfricaWHO PAYS FOR ALL THE PLANE TICKETS
I am sorry to hear your situation.in my opinion,he is not a real man who should be more responsible for your relationship.all he had done is only putting you on giving position but never taken the duty which man should do .
we women can be independent but we also need to feel the love which is needed to expressed by facts more than empty words.well,maybe u married him too quickly before u knew more...
neither me or my fiance is rich,but we like to share everything we have and do everything we can for each other.
we look another as first and most important in our life.I feel so reliable with him , he always tells me i have him no matter good time or bad time and perform that in real life .I trust him and we got there to decide marriage after many tests between us .moeny is somethting,but not everything.I know my finace have been trying his best,that is good enough for me.
now we are waiting for our NOA2,we talk at least 2 time each day,sometimes by yahoo,sometimes by phonecall.
this is very important part in our daily life.we don`t mind who pays money more or less,we are just one.we do have faith on our future family.it will be a team-work.

Ron-n-LinlinMaleChina2007-07-04 23:23:00
Middle East and North AfricaWHO PAYS FOR ALL THE PLANE TICKETS
First off let me say I am sorry for your grief. It would leave a bitter taste in anyones mouth over something like this. If I was you, I would divorce him and move on. Yes, simple words to type, but harder to do in real life. I can only say is at least you found out in advance what you could have expected once he was here. He is the prime example of why women just give up on men and as you say become the cat lady next door. In my case, my future wife paid for her visa application expnse, done all the paperwork herself. I am not a rich man myself, but we never look at it as paying each other back for the expense of loving each other. I went to China and paid for my own ticket and when the times comes for her to come here, I will buy her ticket with no expectations of her paying me back. When I went there, she paid for some of the expenses because she wanted to and she does not make a ton of money being a female in China. We talk everyday via Yahoo and I once had the flu very bad, but I pulled myself out of bed, fever in hand and still come online to talk with her for a few minutes. Only death could keep me away from the only woman I have ever truly loved. Anyway, I know it is hard on you and most of all your heart has been broken, but plz just move on and find someone that will love you for who you are and not for what you have or can provide for them.

Ron

I guess I am still in shock, how can everyone else have these wonderful experiences and I have a nightmere. I am now broke with credit card bills from my trip to Egypt. I may I have to get another job, so that way I will work two jobs to pay off this mess. I always heard that arab men love to take care of women, he was a police officer in Egypt and stepped down, cause he was a captain and could not apply for visa and be married to american while on the police force. All I know is that now i don't trust no man, I can't tell you how i feel, it is like i am a joke to my family and friends, they all ask what happened to him. I am embaressed and heartbroken and now poor as hell. So no I am not a troll, I am a real person who feels like I have been robbed and raped. I hate feeling this way and I am afriad I will be come really bitter now, oh well wonder what today will bring. Sorry about ranting I am just really devasted here. I really not sure if i would ever do that again, pay for a man.


thats really a terrible situation. but unfortunately, you are not the only one who's had this kind of experience. some don't even talk about it...but believe me, there are plenty of women who go through bad situations with their foreign spouse (and men too!) i know it must be hard to walk away from someone you invested so much time (and money) but i think its for the best. find a man here who will cherish you and not take advantage of your kindness. good luck!

Thanks,everyone! good luck to you !

I want to tell you guys, be very patiente when your fiancee asked u to prepare more documents .
the VO may not look at everything,but if you are good prepared,that will help a lot.
if you seem not completely prepared ,he might be very strict which means risky .
when u get a blue paper or a white paper,u have no chance to regret.

OF course thank my fiance VERY MUCH!
you are so faithful and loyal to our relationship!
and you did everything i asked you even when u didn`t want to do sometimes,lol....
i am happy that we finally made it and so sorry for that joke when i texted u that i didn`t pass.
but u let me heard the most beautiful voice in this world when i finally told u i got visa:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGOT PINK PAPER TODAY
The day finally come. My fiance and I have been waiting for a long time, today,we cried but we are so happy.
I was not so nervous,but my finace worried so much,lol....he told me that i should smile and look in vo`s eyes that make me look honest.
but of course i couldn`t sleep well, got up at 5am this morning, when i arrived consulate,there had been many people , joined in the left line--that is for immigration visa interview.arround 7:30pm, we were allowed to entry the building.checked passport and interview letter,then got a number.went up to 4th floor,then checked passport and interview again,handed in the number,and then up to 5th floor,handed in the interview letter,through security checking......then entry the hall.
we sat in chairs and waited to be called .there is 3 times u will be called.
first time,the chinese clekers called MY NAME to open the medical report and pick 3 forms to let me sign before him and asked some questions,like:have u ever been abroad?are u ccp? etc....when i done, i got a number,this is the interview turn number.
the second time, chinese cleker called MY NUMBER to make the fingers print. just follow them....
after an affidavit ceromony, the interview finally started at 9am.

I checked all my folders again,everything was there. i was pretty calm then,i guess,lol...
I was also lucky today,my number was called at 9:30pm which was not late and i could report my fiance good news earlier so that to make him feel better earlier. that was the 3rd time i was called and i saw my number showing on the screen of 22nd window. I didn`t hesitate at all,carried all my stuff ran to 22nd window with a big smile in advance.
