You know Ric I have yet to see one thing about this whole process that does not suck.......They are truly sucking the very life out of us...........I am so F@#^%$& mad at VSC, my lawyer.....I can not even get the lawyer on the phone to fire him.......I just sent my RFE information to VSC overnight because it has been sitting with the lawyer for 2 weeks unmailed.....AUGH..........I hate everything about this mad.gif


I can only imagine how you feel. If I get an RFE on top of this my brain is simply going to explode. Or I'll just fall apart or .. something. I don't know. I had a mini-cry earlier and my mother told me that's why he should have just come over and we got married, simple as that and I just stared at her. As if people would volentarily subject themselves to the USCIS if they could just jump up an get married.



Don't you just love it........I know no one can understand what a nightmare this whole process is....I had one of the Congressional aids tell me this is my burden because I choose to marry a man from Peru......I did not go out and purposefully choose to do this to both Oscar and I.......I am frankly worn out.......I thought for sure this would be over soon......AUGH dead.gif dead.gif

You really don't know....that is the problem for planning anything...it could happen on the short end the middle or the long
end of the stick....and then if you run into any RFE's or other problems you could be held up longer...

My advice is to be careful and don't make permanent plans on things that you will lose money over...we did and lost
a lot....wedding, plane tickets, honeymoon plans etc.....




same here Charlene.....we were suppose to be married by the end of November......lost thay money.......and still waiting....so we HOPE now for a spring wedding.....but no plans until visa in hand.......hard lesson learned

QUOTE (TBoneTX @ Jan 9 2008, 04:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Newpy Hap Year (hic!), si man. I just called the groovy CSC to learn when (whether) my file (NOA2 = Dec. 18) was shipped to the NVC; the Immigration Officerette said "January 4." I asked by what method, and she said "Regular. Give them 2 or 3 weeks to receive it, log it in, and send you a letter." This jibes with what the NVC spokeschick said -- "Give us till January 19."

"Regular" shipment was never defined -- ox-cart express? Hurry up and wait, si man!

They must be out today because its very quiet!


I like that they don't have to update their processing times anymore either. It's still not been changed since Nov. 14.



If they updated the processing time they would get a huge amount of service requests....so I doubt they will do that anytime soon.....maybe June 2010......morons...I am with you I hate them More and More each day that passes....201 today.....RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

They had hundreds of students there yesterday applying for student visas and since we had the last appointment time for the K-1's we kind of got pushed back. We had a 8:45am appointment and ended leaving at 3:30pm, we should be able to pick up the visas on Wednesday, just in time for our flight that night. Thank you for everyone's help and kind words during this process. I will post the whole experience when we get back home. Our thoughts are with everyone for quick approvals. good.gif

I have every intention of doing things by the book but sometimes finding evidence is hard!!



Just an idea:
as far as I understand they want to see strong existing ties to the home country....maybe i.e. a current lease of a car can also help? Just an idea...

Eep... I am so scared I will get turned away in Feb... am defo going through Dublin or I will be a wreck the whole journey...

Does anyone know if other POEs are better? I normally fly into LAX and they do hassle you a bit and the IOs never seem to smile - I always get scared going through...

What are other people's experiences of different POEs?
[/quote]



I usually fly to Washington Dulles as my fiance lives in the DC area, and my experience with the Immigration officers there has always been alright ( so far....). Most of them were very pleasant and would even joke around from time to time.

I'll be leaving for Washington again on the 23rd this month and this will be I think my 8th or 9th entry to the US within 2007. My fiance and I are both Airline employees and able to fly cheaply, so we have been doing a lot of flying back and forth over the past two years.

I have actually never thought about the possibility of getting denied upon arrival (I was blissfully ignorant so far blush.gif )
but this time I'll bring a lot of evidence regarding that I have no intent on doing anything unlawful which might jeopardize my K1 visa.

I'll bring an employment letter, a copy of my lease contract of my apartment, my Airline ID, a copy of NOA1, his flight schedule stating that he'll be flying back to Germany with me, etc....

I guess anything that will show them proof of intent of flying back home will help.
Usually, when they asked upon arrival what I'd do in the US, my standard reply was that I was going to see my boyfriend. I was thinking about replacing the word "boyfriend" with "sweetheart" this time and about not addressing the whole "fiance visa thing" myself, I'll just wait and see if they want to know more details.
But if they ask, I'll bombard them with evidence of intent to go back home and I'll also say that there's no need at all to break any laws (NOA1).

I try not to worry too much about the scenario of being sent back home and I actually just can't wait to get my b..tt on that plane on the 23rd!!! smile.gif

This is brilliant news for you both, congratulations! May the rest of your journey be as swift!

Does make you wonder what's going on with CSC though, for VSC to be getting through the cases so fast! Are they just attacking boxes randomly at VSC or is there really this much disparity between the processing times?



A couple of weeks ago when there was nothing going on at VSC, the explanation was that they had a huge backlog of other types of visa-petitions. Once they were through with those, they started cranking out NOA2's for I-129F petitions. Maybe that's what's going on right now at CSC,too.

And yes, they are attacking boxes randomly at VSC, as there are still some May, a couple of June and quite a few July petitions ( like mine) sitting underneath somebody's coffee-cup, collecting stains and dust.

Don't worry, booger, it's not your fault...enjoy the feeling of having escaped the mazes of Vermont... good.gif

1st, I want to humbly apologize to everyone who read my post and thought that I was only wishing July Posters well. THIS IS NOT the case. I simply copied and pasted my post from the July Filer's Thread to this one. I simply forgot to edit it. I am sincerely hoping and praying for each and everyone to get their approvals soon. I am also hoping that the "backlog" will clear soon, and VSC will get back to processing Visas as fast as they once were.

2nd, Thank You to everyone who has helped and supported us thus far. It is comforting to know that there are others going through the same trials as Belen and I. I also want to say thank you for all of the congratulations. It feels really good to get each and every one of them.

Lastly, for those of you who thanked me for serving my country. It is truly appreciated, and I am humbled by your support. I mean this from my heart of hearts. The reason I lace ‘em up and do what I do is because of the support that I have from people like you and the guy standing next to me. I keep in mind that it is your brother, sister, son or daughter who is standing next me. I will not fail them and I will not fail you. Trust me on that! You may not think you can trust the government on much, but please know you can trust military to be there when we are called to duty. We owe you that much!!! Thank You all once again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?
Well, I definitely have my fingers crossed now. I am an active duty military member, and I just found out last week that I am going to be getting an assignment in the very near future. I could be out of here as soon as May. Now, I know that sounds like a long ways off, but it really isn't. Especially since I am going to an overseas location. Anyway, I sent off a request to have our Visa application expedited for military reason. I included ALL of the information that I received regarding my immanent assignment, a copy of my NOA1, letters from myself and my Commanding Officer. Hopefully this will be enough to persuade the Vermont Service Center to expedite our case. If not, I will truly be at a loss, as I really do not believe we will be able to get everything "squared away" before I will have to be at my next duty location. I sent the package off on Tuesday and the Vermont Service Center received it yesterday. Hopefully we will hear something soon. Wish us luck, please. I'll keep you all posted on our results.

Here is an interesting article about immigration backlogs. Unfortunately it sounds like another group is about to be given priority over us. This time it is people applying to be citizens. The USCIS director seems to feel that it is important to get their petitions processed in time for them to vote in the next election.

"I really want to target the elections," USCIS Director Emilio T. Gonzalez told the Associated Press in an interview published Tuesday. "I really want to get as many people out there to vote as possible."

This is what Director Gonzalez is worrying about these days? Maximizing the number of voters for the next election? Shouldn't he be worrying about cleaning up the mess he created at USCIS before he starts worrying about the voter rolls?

Perhaps he is being influenced by statements like these:

"We have a huge concern on the impact of efforts for people to be able to vote in time for the primaries," said William A. Ramos, Washington spokesman for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, which along with Spanish-language media and labor unions has supported voter-registration efforts in potential swing states with large immigrant populations, including California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Florida.

Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the 1.9 million-member Service Employees International Union, said immigrants who want to assimilate into U.S. culture and politics are being let down. "I think the overwhelming response of immigrants is 'We do want to be part of this country, but we also want our voices heard,' " he said. "Unfortunately, due to the incompetence of the federal agency, they may not be able to register their opinions."

And here is an entry in the Federal Register outlining another new program to give preferential treatment to Cuban immigrants. It is intended to get certain potential immigrants here as quickly as possible so that they are not tempted to swim to Florida.

"SUMMARY: This Notice announces U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services' Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program. Under this
program, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is offering
beneficiaries of approved family-based immigrant visa petitions an
opportunity to receive a discretionary grant of parole to come to the
United States rather than remain in Cuba to apply for lawful permanent
resident status. The purpose of the program is to expedite family
reunification through safe, legal, and orderly channels of migration to
the United States and to discourage irregular and inherently dangerous
maritime migration."

And should we assume that there will be a similar program for Haitians Director Gonzalez? Of course not, because the real issue is not the safety of illegal immigrants it is the political muscle of the Cuban American community. The Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program is clarly intended to give preferential treatment to Cubans.

Face it gang. The fact that we are citizens means nothing to USCIS. They are prioritizing the needs of businesses and special interest groups with political influence. We are clearly being out hustled in our own country.


Hey Bill How many votes does he think he will generate a few thousand....this is dumb....by the way do you have an address for Mr. Gonzalez....you would think his where abouts are a matter of national security......I can not find it........thank for the info.....Lora

Here's a potential new way to get our plight heard, and on national TV!

MSNBC, for those who do not know, every (or every other?) Tuesday do an all-politics day they call "Super Tuesday". They talk with candidates, pundits, everyone, to discuss hot topics and all that.

THIS TUESDAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION
