Canadaomg i can't believe it!!

My husband was laughing and making jokes on the ride home today as its been so long since he saw me laugh blush etc. :) we ended up signing the offer today, all the apperwork has been sent out just gotta wait for the fha appraisal and loan to go through.


Its been 6 months since we saw the house originally and it has gotten dirtier since then (if that is even possible). But aside from some good old cleaning minor repairs (drywall holes door holes etc) a good paint job, its in moveable condition. Oh and no way in hell i'm using that stove or dishwasher..BLECH i'll never understand how ppl just stop caring and cleaning their home...i mean you still have to live there!. But i dont care..i'll live an extra 2weeks after closing at the inlaws while i clean and make it movein readyfor us. I'm just so damn happy right now. :dance:


Nice situation to be in... you already did the homework on it from the first time so you were all set to sign without going through all the questions and discussions. Best of luck... hope it all goes through soon and you can be in your own "nest".
:yes:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWORST DAY EVER!

Just relax and keep busy.  The process, looking back, wasn't that bad.  The trick is to keep busy and don't think or obsess about it.  Good luck.

 

 

Just think about it like this... each day that passes, you are a day closer to being with him :-)

 

This whole process isnt for the faint hearted. But try to find creative ways of being together. Watching the same movie while being with eachother on skype. Or, eating the same meal ( Big Mac form McD's ) for dinner together.

 

Love bares all things, believes all things, hopes all things...

 

 

It will all be over soon and all of this frustration will be a distant memory. I was with my husband for 3.5 years going through the long-distance trials before our approval and it's already a distant memory even though our POE was only a couple months ago!

 

Hang in there! You're very close!

 

 

Hrm and then remember it could be worse and be grateful for what ya have wink.png. Sorry I'm a mom. Couldn't help myself. Lol.

 

 

I think we've all been there. Spend the day with your family and friends, enjoy yourself. And have a great date night on Skype. Or whatever you use...

 

 

Happy Birthday goofy.gif I am sorry he is not with you today but soon this will be over and you will have the rest if your lives and many more birthdays and special occasions to spend together. 

 

 

I know how you feel. My 1st wedding anniversary is in 3 days and we'll be staring at each other on a computer, just like we spent our birthday...still apart. (We share the same birthday...) I can't wait to see him again either!

 

 

Thanks everybody for your support! I'm really glad I'm not the only one who goes through this! You guys really helped me feel better! :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWORST DAY EVER!
Today May 17 is my birthday and I am not spending it with the one person I love with all my heart and soul! This really sucks! I really need NVC to receive my case and give me a case number asap! I really need my hubby :( I miss him dearly! I am praying that by July or August he'll be here! Oh please! I can't take this anymore! :(
Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-05-17 00:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 Approved!
Congrats! Hopefully NVC will start reviewing the new AOS I-864 forms soon! There are alot of people here on VJ waiting for like 2 months for NVC to review the new forms. Its all soo sad :( But good luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHOW MANY OF YOU ARE HELD BEHIND AT NVC BECAUSE OF NEW AOS FORM?

 
The AOS I-864 changed it goes into effect 7/23 but some have been using it now and its causing chaos.
 



It actually goes into effect 6/23

I really want to know because this is ridiculous! If USCIS are making a new form, then in the meantime of making a new form they should be training the people at NVC on how to review them! Its called common sense people! I swear its like they do everything backwards #######! It pisses me off because we are the ones who get screwed over by them because they are backedup!

I JUST SENT THE DS-3032 EMAIL!! NOW WAITING FOR NVC TO INVOICE ME THE AOS BILL!! AND I AM SENDING THEM THE OLD VERSION OF THE AOS!!! (LETTERS ARE IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM EXCITED!!!)


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-03 21:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsARE THEY INVOICING THE AOS BILLS??

 
Yes, a bunch were invoiced today (including ours).  It took almost 2 weeks, but the payment portal was inaccessible yesterday, and half-way through today, there it was and the e-mails were coming left and right!   



So would you say that everything is back to normal at NVC as far as invoicing the AOS bill?


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-05 22:24:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsARE THEY INVOICING THE AOS BILLS??

Omg hopefully they'll invoice us, I really want to send the old AOS packet, so they wont take a while with our process!! :(

Just want to know because I heard they weren't invoicing the AOS bills because of the new AOS form, they don't want to have a backup.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGOING INSANE!! HAVE NOT RECEIVED AOS INVOICE!

According to your timeline you just received your case numbers 4 days ago?



Well yes I know it was 4 days ago but according to everybody on VJ they usually get invoiced within 3 to 4 days.


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-06 20:34:00

Thanks guys!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV Bill, In Process Then Not Paid

My case is even weirder. I AOS  was invoice and i paid. For two days it was shoing in process and after 2 days it said paid. Then i printed the cover shet and sent the AOS package and then a few days later it said not paid. When i checked my bank account, nothing was deducted so i paid the fee again. This time, the amount has been taken of my account and preccessing is complet per my online account. The NVC still says in progress. Not sure what is going on but i am not stressing about it. I already got lots to worry about.

 

Lol! I think it didn't go through but I'm going to wait another day to see if there is anything pending in my account tomorrow.


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 19:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV Bill, In Process Then Not Paid

The weird thing is that when I was submitting the the payment, the website had signed me out and it happened out of no where, so I'm not sure if it went through but when I had signed back in I was able to print receipt and coversheet, sooo idk what to do!! :(


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 19:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV Bill, In Process Then Not Paid

ME TOOO!!! OMG!! WTH!!! But I called my bank and they told me that they do not have anything pending but I have the receipt and printed out coversheet, so should I pay it again or what???


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 19:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - August 2013

what I have seen when I was traveling was the spouse went with the usc in that line and both parties went thru together.
They were told ther had to go to another room and talk to someone else, but the husband and wife was not seperated at all.



In which line? The USC line? Or the tourist line?


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-09-11 21:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - August 2013
I'm confused!!! So I will be returning to the states with my husband but once we arrive to the airport but before we go through immigration they always have two lines, one line is for US citizens and residents and the other is for tourist and visa holders. So my question is can I go with my husband to the tourist/visa holder line or do we have to part ways when we go through immigration? Or can he come with me to the US citizen line? I want to be with my husband when he goes through immigration. :) lol

Thanks for your response in advance!

Ellie

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - August 2013

 
We are worried because even if we have a case complete, we got checklist for things to modify that are already right. So we were wondering if some people ever had this type of issue.
For exemple, they ask to write the name of city of birth when it's already written ^^ That's pretty weird.


Don't worry because we also got a checklist after case complete to correct things that we already did in the first checklist.. its confusing because you don't whether to put the same answers from the supposedly "corrected AOS", we know how you feel :(

Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-08-03 12:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - August 2013

Congrats!!
 
YAY congrats!! 
 
To be honest, I took that email saying that they'd actually reviewed it because I received the IV one 10 days later, then the AOS one the next day and 4 days after that (including the weekend) I had the case complete.  :D





Thanks!! I hope I get an interview date soon!!

Did you get another checklist?? Thats seems very strange. I think we have similar timelines. I got a checklist for the AOS around the same time you did. It should have been reviewed already. If not, I suspect very soon. 
 



No I did not get another checklist my IV is accepted and I did not receive another email with another checklist for my AOS.
