Middle East and North AfricaMY FIANCE IS HERE!!!!

Adil arrived in New York on Thursday. He had to sit at customs for 3 hours. This made him miss his flight. He told me there was many people that was sent back to Morocco. Luckily he was not one of them, however because of the wait he missed his flight out of New York to Chicago. It was the last flight so we had to wait until morning. It is so nice to have my love here with me.


April :luv:

I am thrilled for you :) I hope you will just live happily ever after :)

Middle East and North AfricaMarrying a Moroccan
I dont know a lot about the age difference but I can explain what touched means...I'm not here for too long myself but i went trhough the petition filing step so i'm learning. When u submit ur petition along with the payment you receive NOA1 (notification of action). You have a case number assigned which u can track on www.uscis.gov site (that is after u put ur case into the portfolio there) and under Last updated there is going to be a date....when the date changes, you've been touched :)

Middle East and North AfricaDepression
Hey there,
I'm sorry to hear that
Maybe it will help him feel better if you told him that every single person that is going through the process and every single couple going through a long distance relationship is depressed.
What helped me get out of my depression is Michael telling me that we're going to be together no matter what and no matter how much time it's going to take. He told me that nothing will stop us from being together...not even a refusal

Can't your spouse talk to the people at the embassy and explain that he would be risking his life returning? I mean I guess we need some more details. Will he stay in Syria until his visa is issue and then fly to the US from Syria? Or is he planning to return to Iraq and then back to Syria again to get his visa? Hmmm I would try explaining these complexities to the people at the US Consulate. I can't believe they aren't at all sympathetic...then again... Why does he need a new divorce decree?


I wish I could say that the consulates are sympathetic, but I have seen some pretty nasty things they have done to people, knowing full well that what they are requesting is impossible, but they still pursue it. This is why I think it would be wise to have a representative step in to explain. They are more willing to work with those that have say over their budgets than they do with us little people.

yeah i agree...they can be pretty nasty sometimes

Or maybe have him try opening another visa while in Syria? Is that possible at all?

QUOTE (Visa in hand! @ Nov 28 2007, 05:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't really know if this is even feasible, but is there someone that is already there that can get this for him? Perhaps can you contact your senator/congressman and ask that they can discuss this issue with the consulate? It certainly sounds like this is a reasonable excuse for not providing this. What is wrong with the old one anyway? I know that in Morocco if you get a divorce you have a certain amount of time to revoke the divorce which would make the divorce decree null and void. Is this the same reason?


I was thinking of the same thing. Maybe if he mails some kind of ID to Iraq to someone he knows maybe they could get it for him? Or maybe he could talk to the embassy so they could try and issue some documents based on which he can open another visa to Syria?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does "touched" mean?
I still think it was rude. If you don't like a certain explanation you can just ignore it. If you can't ignore it, you can ask nicely but don't show ur attitude. You're only at the beginning of the journey and these people here are more helpful than any damn lawyer you're going to find. So you better watch your moth. That's my honest advice. Or people are just gonna ignore your cry for help in the future

You're right about packet 4. It normally contain the actual date of the interview and a list of what other documents you need to bring to the interview.

The embassy info is very helpful Every embassy is a bit different and if he goes to Peru he can see exactly what contents there are in both, package 3 and 4

What is in Packet 3?? Is it the interview? I was told by the NVC operator that the interview is scheduled by NVC and not PERU.

Anyone have info on this?

I would be very glad that they moved the I-130 it results in the superior immigrant visa no adjustment of status needed ($1010) and NO waiting 90 days or more to get EAD, and even longer for AOS to result in a greencard.

I'm sorry you're not happy about your NOA2 -- I know a lot of people who would be happy to have theirs!

Hope you can get it all sorted out.

I am happy about being approved...very happy because that pretty much means that i'm eligible to marry the man of my dreams. I'm just lost at the moment...that's all


Congratulations and best Prayers for the rest of your journey.

Thank you very much. I wish you the very very very same :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNOA2 today

Kinzaza:

Congratulations on your NOA2....

You have got very good advice from MPGGPM that I am glad you follow. I'm wondering if you can contact the consulate via email. That is the only way the US Embassy in Thailand has available for contact. No calls. period.

Despite all the bumps, I believe you'll get through them fine.

I wish you the best.
Ladywhite (F)

Below is one the responses I received a while back from a member here. I am not sure if it helps, but I feel like sharing it with you. My point is this should be manageable with the consulate:

"...I was subject to the foreign residency requirement which was to end, back then, 7 month later. During those 7 months, we got our petition approved in 28 days but the K1 visa appointment was on the same day I was done with the rule (the consular officers selected that day on purpose as they knew that I would be eligible to receive the visa). So it means that I could have got the visa 5 months earlier but I wasn't eligible! I don't know if it was necessary or not but we included every possible info about the 2 year rule(Certificate of eligibility, Record of Departure from the US) in our application for the petition. "

Maybe, you would just have to explain your situation to a consulate office and ask for your interview to be scheduled on the day your HRR is up. I have heard that if the consulate schedules the interview after the valid date of NOA2, it means your NOA2 has been extended automatically by the consulate. But in the cases I have heard, their interview dates were like several days after. I am not sure if it is still be the case if your interview is like months after the NOA2 expires. But, if the consulate schedules it, it should mean they have full knowledge of the expiration of NOA2.

Just a thought.

Again, Good Luck.

(F) (F)

First of all thank you very much for being there for me. VJ is definately the place where I get most of the support and most valuable advice. As I already mentioned I trust you guys so much better than the lawyer we have because people that went through this know exaclty what it's all about. I am sure that everything is done for the best and that 'till the end everything is going to be fine. When I told my future mother-in-law that we might have to have the wedding in the Fall rather than summer, she said she'll take me any season :)
About the consulate. What I am thinking to do, is what MPGGPM adviced me and that is slow down the process as much as possible first...That is not immediately send the documents to the NVC. By the time the embassy will receive them, it will probably be May and that is when I am going to Moldova. The process itself with the packages and until they will set an interview date will take around...mm...let's say two months...When I get the interview date I will just postpone it for later unless it's already set for when my HRR is expiring (as in the case of the guy you shared with me). So far this is the most reasonable path I'm seeing. We still need to confirm every step of the way but the situation seems pretty clear. Plus I will probably apply for an internship in Moldova since we have the offices of the BIG 4 accounting firms in the capital. It will gain me some work experience :) and enrich my resume...of course if I will be accepted.
The thing that is totally killing me in this situation is the long time I'm not going to see Mike. The only thing that is soothing it is the thought that since we went through pretty much all my college having a long-distance relationship, we can do it for a little longer....for the last time....
My mom-in-law says that good things take time. Maybe I should start listening to her :)
Thank you so very much. I cant even tell you how greatful I am to meet people that care about someone else's pain.
