Blueberry, I had the BEST sleep I've had in a while...woke up happy and ready to call the IRS this morning to request my transcripts for next steps at NVC!  Can't believe I'm doing that now.  I was holding off because I didn't want them out of date before needed.  goofy.gif

 

 

Luv, yes...he came here and we got married in Vegas.  We didn't mind where we got married, but, Vegas is, as you know, if you're from CA, THE EASIEST place to do it without any pre-planning.  Since we weren't allowed to pre-plan...we didn't.  We just went to Vegas, where you get your license in 5 minutes, get married in 10 and were married and had a little vacation at the same time!  Actually, we were originally going to go the K-1 route, but were advised by a lawyer that doing it this way was faster a lot of times, especially since hubby didn't want to be here unable to work for a year while they processed everything.  This way, we got married, started the process and he got to keep his job and maintain income.  He has a good job there, so it wasn't worth losing a year's salary in our situation...I know everyone is different though.  Maybe it's good that you are there with your husband, but, I do hope you get yours expedited on humanitarian grounds.  Are you a CA resident?  If you are, have you contacted Senators Boxer or Feinstein about your situation?  If you haven't, I would....especially with the situation where you are right now....just an idea.  Yes--Phoenix was good! California also has been good, too, so far.  I wonder why you got sent to NBC and I got CA....  

 

 

r060106, it is harder if your spouse is from a non-VWP country!  crying.gif   I really feel for you, especially with your wife preggo.  I really think you might want to make a request to see if they will expedite...and maybe your situation is also worth a note to your local Senator....not sure where you are...but maybe worth it.  You may want to wait a month or two more...and then write.  Maybe you'll get a quick NOA2, too!  Did you state anywhere in your application docs about your wife's pregnancy?

 

 

Myguita, according to what they told me on the phone, they just don't have a timeline for USC's in California.  The other centers do have timelines posted online.  

 

 

Luv, I do wonder if where the spouse is living makes a difference.  It crossed my mind.  But, I'm sure there's no way to prove it either way...just something I wonder...

i thought it was against the law to come to america on a tourist visa and get married? was i told wrong? and yes i am a resident of california and what has been posted is all filing went to nbc after may i beleive..so lucky you are and i am definately getting ahold of my senators and congressman

Maybe not for you one of the 2 approvals I saw that was approved within a month was from Manila, Philippines DCF.. Good luck i think its because it is DCF and Philippines is apart of the VWP and so is the Netherlands

So you got married in vegas? did he come and visit you on a tourist visa and go home ? i came and got married in egypt because was told it would be easier and faster now i am thinking i did it the wrong way and being here  in egypt when i filed also i think wasnt good for me because i had to file at chicago lockbox :( im thinking if i would have been at home in california maybe i wouldnt have to wait for so so..Phoenix must have their stuff together..Now i am trying to get our petition expedited on humanitariun grounds to hopefully make this process faster. by the way where did your petition go after it went from phoenix i figured mine would go to california since that is where i am from but no it went to the national benefit center :(


luvwillprevailFemaleEgypt2013-09-25 04:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

i was thinking to call again for my interview schedule . but i guess i shouldn't .. of today.

you make my day . thanks 

wish you will get CC soon , may be next time when you call. (F)  (F)

Joke of the day:

I just got off the phone with NVC. Jim answered the phone:

Jim: Thank you for calling NVC. My name is Jim. Can I put you on hold for a second.

me: Sure.

 

Thank you for calling. Your call is very important to us...

 

Jim: I'm back. Thank you for holding. Can I have you case or receipt number?

me: CSB2014XXXXXX

Jim: name and date of birth of the applicant.

me: Mrs XXXXX, May 25, 19XX

Jim: Name of the petitioner

me: XXXXXXXX

Jim: your phone # is, email address is.... How can I help you?

me: just checking for any updates:

Jim (disgusted): Nothing changed since the FOUR times you called today.

me: Thank you

 

I did not know they keep a log of how many times we call. I was so embarrassed.

Hello again . Good morning ! Sorry for bothering you again and again . My mom case has been completed at NVC and they said they are currently waiting for interview scheduling with Rangoon . So can you tell me how long it usually take to get interview appointment ? I am planing to come down and accompany to my mom at interview . Can I do like that? If I can come along with my mom interview , what kind of paper work should I do with you to do in advance ? Thank you very much

Once we receive the case from NVC, we will contact your mother to give her additional instructions on how to schedule a medical examination, as well as a few additional forms to complete. We will also advise her of any missing documents that will be necessary to process her case. Once we have received all the required documents and medical exam results from the clinic, we will schedule your mother for an interview. If all the documentation is complete, it usually takes a couple weeks from the time we give the instructions to the interview date, but may take longer if there are any missing forms or issues with the medical exam. It is not necessary for you to accompany your mother to the interview. Generally we do not allow any individuals except for visa applicants into the waiting room. Don't worry, our consular officers speak Burmese, and we have Burmese staff available to translate if your mother has trouble understanding. The interview lasts only a few minutes, and if approved, the visa will be ready the next business day in the afternoon. Thanks, Consular Section

I'll add you since your embassy isn't currently on the timeline list, but you really need to speak with the VJ owner Captain Ewok to see if he can add your embassy to the list as, currently, your timeline isn't helping people to its full potential.

can you tell me how can i contact the owner??

thanks a lot.

In reviewing Saylin's spreadsheet, it's apparent as mentioned by others before, that some folks have not updated their information.  I specifically noted a few recent 'graduates' :star: who haven't provided data regarding checklists and case complete dates, oh, and even a few signatures!

 

Perhaps some of them have moved on to the Interview thread and have forgotten that we laggers really like that information :P , so please please update what you can for the ones who like to study the spreadsheet :reading:  :clock:  :luv:

no my friend ..

that makes me sad.. :cry:

i update every time i got some move. but i don't know why . i can't never find my name on the sheet ...

so i gave up.

i will update now again.

Yes, I did :) Yesterday

 

thanks. i still feel like i am dreaming. so i need paper that shows that i am not dreaming.

 

That's awesome! Congrats! 

I love to hear of people successfully getting through this process without using a lawyer. I am so glad my spouse and I did not waste $4000 for a lawyer's "services". It's even better that you had no checklists! :)

 

thanks . yes we can do it with the help of those beautiful people.

I knew it!!! Wonderful, beautiful news.  CONGRATS and enjoy it :D

thanks .

 

I'm going to be totally sappy right now.  But I feel like I have to say this, and I hope there are a bunch of others who happen to agree with me!  :goofy: 

 

I honestly don't know where my husband and I would be without the support of this forum.  These have been some of the most difficult times of our lives (one year and 2 days since NOA1 now) and before this, I felt so incredibly lost and alone.  No one outside of the immigration process understands what we go through every day with the phone calls, the paperwork and the endless stress and sadness.  I'm so thankful to have such a strong support group of complete strangers to help make it day to day.  I refer to all of you by your VJ handles when I talk to my husband. It's like we know you.  And all I want is for everyone to make it to the next step to be with their loved ones.  You're like family now.

 

My best vibes are sent out to everyone still waiting for a CC, down to those who just got NOA1 with USCIS.  So thankful I can say that to the only people in the world who know what all those letters and numbers mean!!!!!

 

Thank you  (L)  (L)  (L)  (L)  (L) 

those are the same words from my heart.

yes. huge thanks to my vj family.

A lot of Case Completes here today. That's so exciting! So many people seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and will be reunited with their loved ones soon.

There are also a lot of us who are waiting until tomorrow to call lol. So maybe more good news tomorrow. I hope...

I broke down, and called the NVC.  45 minutes on hold.  But it was worth it.

 

CASE COMPLETE!! 

 

She said it was complete on the 6th, but the file didn't show a date.  So she would get a supervisor to correct it.

congrats ... wish you get your interview date in june.....

Its a friggin sad day in Pennsylvania....   They will not accept my husbands birth cert so we can just forget June. :cry:  :cry:

I am so glad I sent the certified copy last night.  I will still call the supervisor tomorrow night because this is BULL !!

 

Lisa was not in a pleasant mood today.  If I could reach through the phone...  GRRRRRR

I told her I will still be calling the supervisor, she got angry and said  " he will just tell you the same thing I just told you"

So Miss Lisa, you're working my nerves... you and Joy are neck -n-neck on the beotch -o-meter. :ranting:

 

I was nice as could be... guess she didn't like that. 

So now if everyone could cross their fingers and send good vibes that they start opening the mail at a faster pace... If the computers are still down, that is preventing people from printing out their barcode cover sheets and mailing in their packages.. At least they can make good use of their time and take care of the mail that is already there.  I should have sent a fluorescent fedex envelope so I could send the supervisor out to look for it !! :rofl:  :protest:  

sorry to hear that...

i really wish and hope you get case complete tomorrow....

hang in there.

miracle can still happen.


You should be expecting your CC this week. Remain hopeful and good luck. :)
