February 2008 I-130

Hey guys good news!

So my mom didn't know the significant terms of "Notice of Action" and all that and thought that it was just a receipt, and after reading these forums and posts and stuff I learned that the NOA is the first thing I should be receiving so I thought that I hadn't got it yet (filed back on Feb. 8!

) so I was sweating bullets

and finally my mom scanned me the document and it IS the NOA!!!

I am SOOOOO happy that I'm not behind and don't have to call them but that I'm moving along normally with everyone else, it's such a good feeling and what a relief because I can't just call them up and sort this out because I'm in Morocco right now. Just wanted to share the good news that I actually did get my NOA!

You guys don't know how much I was freaking out thinking that it was lost in the mail or lost in the office at USCIS, I'm so happy right now! Has anyone gotten their second NOA yet? Let's track our progress.

February 2008 I-130

Hi,

I sent in my I-130 on February 8 to the CSC and still haven't gotten an NOA1 yet...is that normal or should I be on the phone harassing people? I keep looking at the "processing times" on the USCIS website and they're "processing" (whatever that means) petitions sent by August 19, so I was assuming that I had a long time to wait but looking at everyone else's info, it seems like everyone in the world has gotten their NOA1 except me. I'm divorced, so does that have anything to do with it? And I'm living abroad (with my husband) is that what's taking so long? If anyone has any input let me know.

Yeah the title is pretty self-explanatory. My mom is taking care of paperwork for me since I'm living out here, but when it comes time to send in the I-864, how am I going to get it notarized since I'm not physically in the States? Can I get it notarized in my husband's country? How are you guys who are living abroad going through these steps? Help! And thanks!

April

You don't notarize the I-864 anymore. No worries.

Sweet! So does that mean that I can have my mom *sign for me* (shhh!!) instead of mailing it back and forth, or will my husband bring it with him to his interview? I'm doing the I-130 without the 129, let me know what you know, and thanks!

Now I'm starting to get nervous, I want to move back but not too soon really, I want to learn more Arabic and dh has to learn English! Aaahh!

My BIL is coming into town on Sunday and then my mom on Tuesday so we'll have a great time with them with an extra little boost of spirit (times were getting dull and boring!)

How do you know that your case has been "touched"? I registered my case online at USCIS so where would it say that my case has been touched? Though it's still early I think, I filed Feb. 8 and got my NOA Feb. 20 and then waiting since then. Thanks!

Some real Experiences needed here

1. Usually you are given at least 30 days. How long were you given? Maybe the letter took a while to get to you?
2. Entirely depends on why you got it. In general- throw everything and the kitchen sink at it.

Almost 2 and half Weeks O.o, Weird isn't it

Just simple questions that i'd like people to share as much knowledge as they could
and sorry if i got straight to the point, so thank you in advance

1st Question :
does it look normal to get a period less then a month to appeal a NOIR from the USCIS?

2nd question :
any good ideas or advices on how to respond to that NOIR?

helloo
today morning i had my interveiw for a k-3 visa, well i had a nice inteview. the officer asked me about my wife and my step son everything was good she only saw my weeding photo and she didnt want to see the historic of the chat and the email. the officer was very very nice talking and polite.

and the she told me that that's a qualify for a visa but thes need to do some additional administrative processing. and she gonna call me when it gonna finish without telling when.
in the paper she gave i have only one section marked with an 'X' it's teh one who say:
Other: Your case requires additional administrative proessing, we require nothing furher from you at thes time. we will contact you by telephone as soon as we are able to continue with YOUR CASE.

when i'am telling the officer bye and have a good day, she told me welcome to the USA so i turn and i told her thank you.

So my questions plese is, i want to know what the paper she gave to me mean and that mean need more administrative processing?

Salaam Alicom!

I sent ours on Oct. 28, it was received on Nov. 5. I verified the check was cashed.....once I knew it was.....i then waited 10 days. When we did not get it, I called USCIS.......the man issued a new NOA 1 to us, and gave me the receipt number over the phone. With this number, you can check the status on line. Make sure when the call to USCIS is made, you explain that you have not received the NOA1, but know the check has been cashed. When I called, the agent was very helpful. Once you get the NOA1, send a copy of it with the packet for the I-129F.

Take Care....and Good Luck!

Jenn I think you answered your own question.

Respect. The CO's dont respect our men.

Being there in Moroc possibly shows the CO that you have a valid relationship if you are there during the interview. You are not allowed into the consulate when he has the interview. You would be waiting at a caffe. But your DH would make a point of teling the CO your wife is here if he/she needs to speak with her.

I will need to use some excuse to get off work too. When we fianlly get the date for the interview I will not have the time to make a request for time off. I also dont have any vacation time built up since I was on sick leave for 6 weeks last fall.

The only thing I or you can do is claim time off for the family leave act. Do you know about that? You can take time off work to attend to family illnesses. Your brother in law may qualify for that. You will have to have a medical statement from his doctor. Check into that option.

For me I have a statement on file already because I have asthma. It means I can be off work for that and not lose my job. As long as I don't say where I am going I should be ok to be in Morocco for a few days or weeks. I just have my doctor take me off work. He wants me to go on disability ( last year) because it is so bad. I get so very sick from perfume and fragrances. I was quite ill in Morocc from the disel fumes last year. If I was to live there I woud have to live in the mountains, which I would love to do anyway.

I just want you to understand it is only my opinion that the wife be there for the interview. I know of nothing else that may help. It does not mean it will help, but it sure can't help. I would rather be there than wait another year to go by and try again.

Oopsy again...I mean it can't hurt to be in Moroc for the interview but it sure may help.

I wouldnt be allowed in the consular? Why not? Its just waiting! My brother in law has some type of brain cancer or tumor the really arent sure yet. But he has been this way for months now he cant even work he is getting some type of disability pay cause of it I guess. My mother used the family medical leave act like this for her husband in Morocco before. But she never had to have a letter or anything from a doctor. I believe right now I can probably get like 5 days off. And I definately want to be there, but if they dont know im there how can it help? I dont know much about the family medical leave act I was just told by a few people I should try it.

Im thinking besides im diying to see my husband again. That going is the only way to make sure he is approved! Its been since August 2004 I saw him last might not look to great to them. But if any thing or a denial would happen we could try and overturn it right there. While im there to prove them wrong!

Could you tell me more about Family Medical leave act since you have used it before please?! Thanks

Wow...how did that happen? Somehow my post ended up in another box....so sorry.

Jenn

If I were you, I would be there in Moroc when he has his interview. You will have a better chance of approval. How I wish I had been in Moroc with my husband. As it was I went back to Moroc about a month later anyway and my husband is still not here with me.

I plan on being there when we get our next date. I don't have the money or the time off work either but I want my husband here. It will be worth it in the end to be there in my opinion. That was also the opinion of the couple who were denied a year ago and had a 2nd interview. The CO told the fiancee to go get her, they wanted to see her. So he ran to the caffe and brought her into the consulate whereby she spoke her mind to them about what they had done and she would not take no for an answer to receiving a visa. They got the visa and the CO was then pretty nice to her. Must be because she is American??? But he is not therefore they abuse our men??? Just a thought.

If interviews are being help up because of 2nd interbviews, why then are the fiancees getting fast interviews??? Why are the married couples made to wait? Makes you wonder. It also appears it is the married couples who are being denied more often. Why is that??? Like Ellis said...the CO's are not to be the adjudicators. The CO's must have concrete proof of fraud!!!!

Ok, I am not going to start another rant...lol

chiquita I want to be at my husbands interview and I plan too. But problem is my job and his Ive only been at my job since early September so im not sure if I can get time off. I have heard I can take time off with pay before I actually earn it! So that would be great and my husband isnt sure his job will let him have any time off at all so I guess it all depends.

But my question is how can it effect if im there or not? Will they see me know im there? They can interview me if they want ! Right now I think our strongest area is how long we have known eachother for and we can prove it from 2001 to currently. Right now I do have the money thanks to working 80 hour weeks from November- January I was planning on going sometime but he wants me to wait. Cause he wants me to have time off for when he does get here we can be together. When I was at the consular before they treat americans good but moroccans not so good. I couldnt believe it was like i was the most important person there no wait or anything. The whole time I was there I was put ahead of everyone else.

If you ask me Casa has their prorities in the wrong place. Why are the nonimmigrant visas and k1 being put before families and married people? Since when is your boyfriend or girlfriend a bigger priority then your family? Dont get me wrong they deserve their chance and to be taken care of in a timely manner. But it seems to they dont care about family there at all. And look how quick u can get your fiance here that is ridicouls you can get your fiance here before your spouse.

Can you point out some exact reasons that will help if I go and dont go to the interview? I just need some advice and my husband dont think it will help but I need to get him to listen to me!! this and I dont want to lost my job! I kind of need it!

Right now im considering going to my husbands interview. He dont see how it can help but I want to see him again and Id like to go the interview. But money, work and time off is the main problems and concerns. I think going to the interviews is a little way to intimate them they cant say you have no relationship if your there with them~!

I dont know how all these denials are happening. I will keep offering prayers to all of you. at our embassy < ISL > we have the endless AR/AP sink hole. there seems to be no end to it in sight. so you ladies here realize you have our support too.

we as muslim americans have been discrimnated alot.
when it comes to getting visas. this is another form of it.
check it out. this site is for muslim americans -by muslim americans

One thing that gets me is when people I know talk about bad people or doing wrong stuff. They automatically jump to the conclusion a muslim did it or was the cause. I saw the other night I believe on Law and Order it was about a Moroccan actually that was a terroist there to blow him self up in a Veterans Day parade. I didnt care for them to show that Moroccans are this way!
