K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune and July filers - NVC to Interview
Actually we have a tone of plans!!! LOL!!! We are going to get married once, just so that we can apply for AOS, Permission to Travel Outside the US (I have military Orders to relocate), and her work permit. Then we are going to get married in Maine with my family. After that we are going to Ecuador to have a ceremony with her family. The Ceremony in Ecuador will probably be around this time next year, as we are short on time with my military relocation. Not to mention we would both like to be there during Quito’s Anniversary Celebration. THAT is a HUGE celebration, and all of her family will be together.

We have a whole new reason to count the days before Christmas! A little less than 8 days now....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune and July filers - NVC to Interview
Sorry I have been away for so long. As I am sure you all know, life has been very busy thus far. Well, Belen had her interview today, and she has been APPROVED FOR HER VISA!!!! I posted a full review for the Consulate Section in Guayaquil, and we hope it helps others. Now we have to wait 4-5 days for DHL to deliver the Visa to Belen. The DHL office said it would be more like 2 days, but they tell everyone 4-5 days just in case... Anyway, Belen will be here on Christmas Day!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas present!!! I must not have shown up on the naughty list this year. LOL!!!! I hope all is well with everyone, and that you all receive some news very soon.

Take Care,
Jason & Belen

My fiancé called on 27 Nov and got an interview date scheduled for January 23rd, but we requested to have it moved up to an earlier date. Today, we were notified the new interview date is on Dec 17th. Now that's fast!!! Good luck to everyone else. I hope you hear something soon.

Yeah--I received notification today, via email, that my I129F petition has been approved.

stevo, I wasn't being sarcastic in my post yesterday. I was genuinely concerned because others from Vermont had more 'touches.' I am truly thankful and thank you for putting it in perspective.

I registered with USCIS site and the last update was 02/10/07. Since VSC is known for being swift, I'm hoping to hear something soon. I keep forgetting to check to see if my check has been cashed. Since I had a certified draft drawn from my account, I have to call the bank.

Hello all!

Our NOA2 arrived in the mail this week! I don't see the number to the NVC though. Are we supposed to call the NVC to make sure they got our petition? If so, how do you know what number to call?

O.K......What the he!! at end of August filer.........I am just blown away now..........OMG........this sucks crying.gif



Hey Lora, you must be mistaken. I just called and the lady said they are only up to May 19.
And before that I had called customer service and they even said I was outside vsc commit times and tried to start an inquiry but the computer forced her to transfer to vsc, Officer Roy? I think (rhymes with Doy).
So what are we supposed to do? We are over 6 months, and outside commit time, and they won't even admit it! Meanwhile they move on to august. Really bizarre. I downloaded the ombudsman complaint form DHS-7001 today. It takes 45 days, but I have a feeling this is all going to take a while, yikes!



Hey Virgil, I did make a mistake.....I filed too early.......So what did Officer Roy tell you?......I got nothing from the immigration office in Fairfax....they can not help me....sent me packing today......I do not know I just feel like the smallest most insignificant person in the world......I hate them


Well as soon as Officer Doy (a female) came back from having me on hold to check on something she said well they are only up to May 19 ... I cut her off and said website says 6 months and dozens of July filers approved on vj. Once she said that I didn't need to hear another word out of her mouth so I pointed out those stats, said have a nice day and hung up.

I'll try the RFE trick tomorrow and at least try to change the address. The customer service rep claimed they don't do that at vsc. Why do they keep telling us these things we know are not true?

There doesn't seem to be any help for us. Even my senator's staffer seemed to blow me off and just get me that note where it says it is with an adjudicator. Wow, big help, customer service clowns can tell me that! I'm doing the ombudsman complaint but that will probably only help a little to let him know about problems in general and not help my specific case.

Oh well, I wonder when they will change the May 19 date? Maybe they'll just reuse it come next may:(




they are not going to change that number anytime soon because then we will have a way to get to them......I agree we are stuck.....I also will send a form to the ombudsman.......but we are get fvcked...sorry for my french

I would rather have a colonoscopy while awake then to ever do this again [...]

I did undergo a colonoscopy while awake, and, although it was interesting, it was actually not bad. There was less fecal matter involved with it than there is with USCIS.

From studying the CSC posts and skimming the VSC posts, I conclude that most of the files being worked on were late July/early August submissions, and that those from earlier June have been overlooked.

T-B. (183 days +++, not including even an RFE)



I am impressed that you found your colonoscopy enjoyable.......It is either true character or a little crazy........I have been touch 2 times in the last two days but I agree with you they have just skipped the first 2 weeks of June......I should of filed in late July........augh

I read that someone called CSC a few days ago and they were told that they have updated their processing date - although it does not show online yet. Maybe Monday? Anyway, they said they are working on June 14,2007. Which means mine is outside their timeframe. Of course, I can't do a service request until Monday. Anyone else do one?



I was told back when I was at 180 days that it had to be 30 days after you date......they told me it would have to be July 5.......my NOA1 is June 5

I agree about making your own choices, i made up a saying years ago - our country is turning not into Big Brother, but Big Mother and she knows best.
Well when ur negative ur supposed to go crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif then it's ok.
I can't blame them, but people who filed two months after me who say 'oooh my date is two days from that last approval is it my turn yet' are starting to get to me devil.gif
Thanks I'll try to hang in there.


I just sort of giggle when I see people so far ahead wanting theirs. A lot of them are getting them, but .. some of them will have to wait it out. THe unlucky ones, tho I wouldn't wish it on ANYBODY. That'd be horrible, but I think its a statistical fact. Me, bitter? Nooo... whistling.gif

Pete and I set up a betting pool. We laid out the next two weeks, drew dates and whoever draws the approval date gets sole control of the radio when he comes for Christmas. (we have no musical tastes in common, so its a constant mini-battle) It's made things interesting. I had today, but he had yesterday and tomorrow, and friday and all weekend. So, we'll see. I'm hoping for Thursday, I really dont' like electronic. tongue.gif



I am hoping and praying you win because I think you and Virgil and I are all in the samr crate and when one of us goes the other two will follow.....I am not bitter towards anyone just hope for understanding for our pain.......but human nature is such......and like you I wish this on no one else....so when they open our crate and finally work us up we will forget this pain......and only remember the support we got from each other......take care and win that bet...o.k.....Lora

U know i was reading a post, on a related thread i think, where someone was describing the process for Canadians. It seemed like when ur ready u just bring them to Canada, no worries!!! Weird it seems so sensible.
Sure there would be a lot of phony engagements, but when they are turning a blind eye to millions crossing the border anyway it's BS to give our fiance(e)'s the third degree. maybe cap it at two or three, but it doesn't need to be so arduous. And the expense is ridiculous. Aos is like $1000 not including EAD and fingerprints, more medical, etc. and ur separated so long u need to visit so airfare's a killer.
BTW since u can't get help til 30 days after the six months, isn't it really a 7 month commitment. Of course when u call they'll say 'ok now wait 60 days will get back to you.'
So I'm not fighting it anymore, it's like when the doctor snaps on that rubber glove - just tell me when your done vsc ohmy.gif



I am with you.....I would rather have a colonoscopy while awake then to ever do this again........I have yet to figure out why our government has the right to deny me my happiness......I have parents.....I do not need the government to perform that function.......I have the ACLU looking into this for me.....Even after I get this all done...I think I want to stick it to them just because I feel like it.......but in the mean time I am like you....they have us hostage......by the way I got lost in Catonville Maryland once......I was trying to get to BWI...hahahahaha...on my way to Peru....one of my 6 trips there........You are right this is not a cheap endeavor....Anyway...since it looks like everyone has abandoned us I guess it is just the First 2 weeks of June people left on this thread now......I keep getting yaked at on the other thread about being negative.....Oh well bite me.....I know ours will be worked someday but in the mean time this sucks....Hang in there Virgil.........Lora

Your Horoscope for DECEMBER 09, 2007

You are on the brink of something fantastic, Lora, so just hang in there a little bit longer. It could be that you feel like the little train engine who is slowly working her way up the mountain. Perhaps you have made compromises and sacrifices along the way in order to get where you are. Just keep going. Pretty soon you will top the crest, and the rest of the journey will be all downhill. The tremendous work you have put in will pay off generously.



At this point 190 days is gone by it better be a great reward..........Good to be home and back with you guys....they finally took my Iphone away...

Hey Y'all. I finally got a touch today. Its been 173 days for me. I really hope that means that the VsC is serious about cleaning up the backlog from May/June. Time to update the timeline. I really hope that the rest of you who are waiting without a touch are in the same crate as myself. Am I correct that the approvals have been going from later June to earlier in June over the past week or so? If that is the case, then perhaps the reviewer is progressing through a crate in reverse order of receipt?





I was thinking that myself so Virgil and I are at the bottom together......See I told you Virgil.........the only touching that has happened on our petition has been between them....hahahahahaha....this has been a tough day for me and my humor has gotten worse as the day has gone on........I had to leave the other thread for a while....too much cheering and happiness.......so I come here to pout......sorry guys


Congrats to Lost in the Abyss!!! Guess they found yours in the abyss maybe they can find mine and Lora's whistling.gif
I agree the other thread is making me sick devil.gif july filers still sucking hehe
Anyway, Lora remember it's darkest before the dawn. Most of your waiting is over, try to 'reset' and start from where u are now - maybe a couple three weeks more to go? They must be going in reverse order, but hey, the government is the reason for the term 'bASS ackwards', I believe.
There have been numerous people at their wits end on these threads, who unbeknownst to them were approved that day (even Amrssnowangel on 12/3 here).
Hang in there!



Thanks .......I am trying to not be so negative but God this is hard......I am now stuck in the hospital overnight and Oscar is worried sick and now there computer is down until Monday......I guess it is good reason for me to sedate myself and sleep off my VSC hangover......I have to tell you if I had one more person to tell me I needed to contact my reps in Congress I was going to scream.......I am on a first name basis with them.......Ihave screamed, cried,been calm, begged, apoligizing for bothering them and down right rude and everyone says the same thing....we know...we are sorry and you have to wait......I was thinking I would write the omsbudsman again about the ever changing processing date and what is really 6 months to USCIS.....but I guess for now I am just taking my meds like a good girl and fade into a coma.....tomorrow I hope I get out of here.....thanks again......Lora

Todays topic: DISCOURAGEMENT

Much is said in religion on discouragement. But how can we control this?

Philippians 4:6-8 KJV)
(6) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (8) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things {are} honest, whatsoever things {are} just, whatsoever things {are} pure, whatsoever things {are} lovely, whatsoever things {are} of good report; if {there be} any virtue, and if {there be} any praise, think on these things.


Pray and ASK God for what your desires are. God grants us peace...but we must do our part. It says...to THINK on things that are pure, good and of good report...virtuous things...have a thankful spirit. You will find your discouragement will disappear. No one said this would be easy. This road traveled is hard...but WE MUST DO OUR PART. It takes WORK to lose the discouragement we feel.


(John 14:27 KJV)
(27) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

(2Corinthians 4:8-9 KJV)
(8) {We are} troubled on every side, yet not distressed; {we are} perplexed, but not in despair; (9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

WE ARE NOT DESTROYED....powerful words....

(Hebrews 10:35-36 KJV)
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.


Notice it says...if we NEED patience...AFTER we DO the will of God...we recieve this promise.


(Philippians 1:6 KJV)
(6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform {it} until the day of Jesus Christ:

(Galatians 6:9 KJV)
(9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

(Psalms 31:24 KJV)
(24) Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.


Be of good courage, GOD gives us the strength to carry our burdens. Have faith in God...is what this says and HE will carry you threw.

There is a story of a small farm town in danger of losing its crops. So the minister called a special prayer meeting. As the people filed into the church, the minister stood at the door to great them. In the prayer meeting, everyone prayed their BEST prayers, and said how much faith they had that God would save their crops and bring the rain. Finally after an hour the service was over. Once again the minister stood at the door to shake the hands of his congregation as they left. As he did so, he noticed a small girl...not very old..maybe 6 or 7. As she came out of the church, she took somthing from her hand. It was an Umbrella. The minister said, "why young lady, why did you bring an umbrella? We haven't had rain in so long and its not raining today."
She looked up at him and said, "But I just prayed that God would send rain, so i brought my umbrella." As she walked away the first drops of rain were felt by the minister.

Having faith, means WALKING in faith...in trust...its not our words...but our actions that speak of that faith.

Are you walking today as if you WILL be approved?

Are you trusting in GODS timing for your approval?

Do you have COMPLETE faith He will come throuh with what you need?


I hope these words that came to me today, will raise and lift you up. Encourage you to fight the fight, stay the course and not feel discouraged. Vermont is strong...but GOD is stronger....

Have a blessed day.


FAith

I use to just wait for 180 days thinking that that would be the magic day my life would change but I am at 187 days and they say I am within there processing time....the last Time I checked that is 7 days beyond 180......and I still have to wait 2 more weeks until I can call them again and then they have 60 days to get back to me......I was joking yesterday about the needles in my eyes but today I feel like that.......I screamed earlier today and my pacer went off again.......I have to write down all of the things I was doing when that happens.....I wrote "I hate USCIS and the VSC"........they have been approving late July again today...this sucks.......


Do they go by a calendar six months or 180 days = 6 months, or do they just make up their own processing times now?



well either way 180 or 6 calender months I am past both and I was told on monday 2 times that VSC is processing May 19.....on November 14 I was told they were processing May 24th so ....they went backwards and that if I am after that date then I am within there processing time......I had 17 more days to wait before I would be out of there processing time but if that date comes and say they are then processing june 1 petitions then they will add 4 more days then i day after that so that makes it Christmas......if on the 26th I file a request for service they have 60 days to repond........so it means nothing........this is bullsh*t....they are approving late July again today.......I am just about at the end of my rope and no one cares.......

I use to just wait for 180 days thinking that that would be the magic day my life would change but I am at 187 days and they say I am within there processing time....the last Time I checked that is 7 days beyond 180......and I still have to wait 2 more weeks until I can call them again and then they have 60 days to get back to me......I was joking yesterday about the needles in my eyes but today I feel like that.......I screamed earlier today and my pacer went off again.......I have to write down all of the things I was doing when that happens.....I wrote "I hate USCIS and the VSC"........they have been approving late July again today...this sucks.......

Hey Y'all. I finally got a touch today. Its been 173 days for me. I really hope that means that the VsC is serious about cleaning up the backlog from May/June. Time to update the timeline. I really hope that the rest of you who are waiting without a touch are in the same crate as myself. Am I correct that the approvals have been going from later June to earlier in June over the past week or so? If that is the case, then perhaps the reviewer is progressing through a crate in reverse order of receipt?





I was thinking that myself so Virgil and I are at the bottom together......See I told you Virgil.........the only touching that has happened on our petition has been between them....hahahahahaha....this has been a tough day for me and my humor has gotten worse as the day has gone on........I had to leave the other thread for a while....too much cheering and happiness.......so I come here to pout......sorry guys

This is getting ridiculous...I called USCIS again. They received the RFE info...seems some people get an answer asap...we haven't gotten so much as a touch. She told me to try back in 60 days. So, yeah, we do that and by the time we get an answer our petition is no good because we have surpassed the 90 days. Thinking I should cancel and just go through the K3...at least we would be married.


Hi Jamie. I am not sure I understand - what is the 90 day period you are referring to? What is its significance?

I am seriously considering cancelling as well. Might be time for me to move to England.

Thanks.


Jamie, I just saw your other posting. I am sorry that things are not working out. This is tragic. No need to answer my questions.

I hope everything works out for you. Best wishes to you both.


Am I the only one still not approved???????? helpsmilie.gif helpsmilie.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif helpsmilie.gif helpsmilie.gif








nope Steph I am still waiting with you....no touch nothing........I think I have no more tears..........

Two June filers reported today!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe they will focus on JUNE. Out of the 55 or more reported last month...11 or so were June...Lets just hope they focus on June for a bit...April and May to............



I am hoping the officer that approved the two June ones today have our file!!!! helpsmilie.gif helpsmilie.gif helpsmilie.gif helpsmilie.gif


Here here!

I think we'll hear something by the end of the week, at least. If they weren't just making things up to get us off the phones, I figure even a slow adjudicator can't take seven days to get thru a crate, no?




D*mn I thought today might be the day but nothing, nada, zilch..........I called Dept of Homeland Security and was put on hold for 26 minutes then Oscar called so I had to get off....I am getting ready to call again now......anybody else call??????

Hello to all, hope everyone's well. I have a very imporant question, I sent
I-129F 1st of june 2007
NOA1 june 21st 2007
26th of june touched


Since the touch I haven't had any updates and I see many june and july cases have been approved, and I have no news. I log into USCIS' website at www.uscis.gov and the status remains the same.
I have called immigrations and the answer I get is that not all cases are the same

I'm desperate to reunite with my SO since we have a daughter together. Please someone who's in the same situation as me please write, Thank you



Oh there are many of us....My file day is June 5...Noa1 June 10......and I have heard nothing....no touch and have called USCIS alot and like you get the same lies about that mine is different then everyone elses that have been approved......they have just skipped a whole group of people and to arrogant to do some research on it....You get the same canned answers.....I wish I could give you better news but this is life with USCIS holding all of the cards........Lora

OK OK OK....I CHECKED THE USCIS WEB SITE....and............

NO, nothing yet...Im NOT approved yet...........

BUT................

Ive adjusted to the idea of waiting...........FINALLY. Thank you God. Im at peace with it. STILL going to do something about it IF I can...IF for no other reason to feel better, and maybe make it easier in the future for others AND our AOS. But...I"ve adjusted...mostly due to you people here. You are so kind, caring and truly understand. Who else can understand better than you all who are traveling this road together with me. We share the same feelings, emotions, fears, joys and heartache. Everytime one of you posts for Mel and Syl or Mirla or anyone else...I can FEEL your empathy...that you truly KNOW how they may feel. THAT inspires me...you guys are my heros...every last one of you. I am truly happy for those of you approved....and...so thankful u have stayed to encourage, cheer us on and share your progress. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. Its still hard to see others that filed 2-3 months after me get approved...but I can now count it ALL joy to have this issue. Cause the working of my faith will create patience in my life. So that I may be mature and not lacking. Thank you to all of you...thank you God for the peace only YOU can bring into our lives....

God bless you all....


Dont stop pushing for those noa2's...but do find your peace.




I wish Faith....but the frustration is so great that I am almost beyond being peaceful...and patient.....I think I have been until November....then everything is so very confusing.....I am thinking it is partially my age (time is ticking) and partially my experience of almost losing my life that has me just in the opposite place you are trying to maintain........I see life as fragile and time as precious and I am sure this is why I find this oh so hard to swallow......You know no one cares at USCIS....about Lora and Oscar....we are EAC******** just another file in a sea of boxes....but you and I , Amr and Oscar have no say, no recourse, no chance even to have someone, anyone to hear Us.......and that is the bottom line.....I could wait patiently for my turn if I thought they gave a diddly d*mn.......and it was fairly done......But it is not.........Having a bad day today......Sorry my friend........Lora sad.gif

Hi, I'm a May filer....and still no NOA2...I have quit going to the May thread because everyone is in their NVC and interview process....that gets very discouraging....is there anyone else from May out there????



Welcome to the thread....It is hard to see others move on as happy as we are for them. I really hope we can find some positive support here, yet keep it a haven to whine, cry, and stomp our feet in as needed. Some have waited even longer like you have. My prayers are with you all as you handle the emotions that are going with this. We each understand this rollercoaster ride we are on...so its easier to sympathize.

What actions have you taken to find out about your petition??



I have called every week checking on what the status is...trying to get answers....but we all know that the customer service folks can't really answer any questions....we have a congressional inquiry by our congressman....you would think that that would get some answers, but it has been 6 weeks and we keep being put off with their office saying that it just takes time... we have had some friends of ours email senators and congressman also....no answers there....basically we have hit the wall with these folks...and they say the same thing....not anything they can really do....there is a person assigned in the VSC that congressman can send their questions on cases to, and they have to wait for that person to get back with them.

Basically we have no voice in this big mess...I will be calling the White House on Monday and will voice the concerns that the other email suggested and I am up for any other idea people have.

I called the USCIS and told them that I was at 201 days past my priority date and they said that I would have to wait 60 days since the last communication that I had from the USCIS before they could officially look into the matter...that will be Dec. 19. So WE WAIT!!!!!


Wow that's ludicrous!!! I'd try the ombudsman's complaint form, I think it is earlier in this thread by Amrssnowangel



I agree Charlene, that is beyond ludicrous....It is obsurd.........Hey Virgillionaire....How far do you think I would get if I showed up at the department of Homeland Security with all of these names and dates.........?????.....I have the address in Washington

I know people aren't going to approve of this, but I've been holding it in for two weeks and lucky I didn't post it on the BSZoom site ...

[/size] JULY FILERS SUCK!!!! AND THEY AND VSC NEED TO GET A FRIGGIN ROOM FRO THEIR LOVEFEST whistling.gif [size="3"]

sorry blush.gif


I realize it must suck to be in your shoes, BUT to take out your frustrations on July filers who have no control over the approvals is a bit much. Vent about VSC until the cows come home, but please don't direct your anger at us. I know I feel bad that you so many others aren't approved yet, as do most other July filers, but that doesn't mean we can't be happy about our own approvals.

Thank you.


It's kind of in jest and july people weren't supposed to see it as this is the june and earlier still waiting area blush.gif sorry




It is cool Virgillionaire........It is hard and it sucks and I for one have lost it more times then you have seen here.....I have cussed and thrown things when others have gotten there approvals and said it is not fair and f@#$ them all.....and this is a venting thread so even though I did not say it....I thought it and I am really trying not to rain on there parade but they have to understand how very unfair and unjustice this is for the 40 or so May/June filers who have been overlooked....and it was September and August filers being approved while they sat in limbo they would feel just like us....so I guess understand human emotions and being allowed to express it here....because we are all in this same boat called We're Screwed by USCIS

Oh sorry I did not check that ....no it makes no difference you must call customer service and go through the menu and select the prompt that says they are outside of there service times....when you get to a person tell them your number and ask for a service request.......You have the right for this.........Please call them.....Lora

Did you get any response when you called? You even applied before me.


Your recieve date is what they go by.....Your recieve date is before mine......I can file a request for service on Monday.....you can call them now.........they are outside of there service time.....Call your congressman's office and have them call VSC to check for you..........You have a good chance in getting answers......they are late........go for it

Thanks for this thread. I keep hoping today will be the day, but it never happens.

Nearing the 6 month mark...



You are at the 6 month mark.........I called USCIS on Monday and said that at 180 days you can request service .......call them you are there......in fact at 187 days.......tell them you demand an answer this is inept and unbelieviable

I hope so much for you and all of us.......Come on VSC this is not right...unfair.....I am going to scream here in about 3 seconds.....
