hey all! i hope you are all good..

just on the skype topic.. it is cheaper to call the US from the UK. In fact it costs me 1.2p a minute where as sarah calling me costs something like 25c a minute! just a tip!! :-)

good morning! of course the more the merrier!! I think we should just keep this forum open.. surely it wont be shut down and we all know where it is.

I will be coming in alone... it's all becoming real now. I will be sad to leave but I know I have what I have been waiting for my whole life once I step of that plane so it'll be more than worth it!

hey im there!!

yeah my life is completely on hold.. I've just loved South in England for a Job and its a shame as its such a good opportunity too.. But I feel like im just keeping myself busy until I can move to Sarah. I'm just wading it out here really.. just got myself a room in a shared house.. who cares right? the way I see it its just a few months.. I feel very awkward telling my employer I will be leaving though but I guess you have to look after number one and I have a wedding to pay for :-)

but yes lets all stay in touch and I truly wish you all a smooth and quick process b/c I completely understand what everyone is going through!

(oh and I realised I actually spelled glog wrong lol.. i thought it was the letter with the dots :-) )

yeah and even more upsetting is trying to budget there.. going to McDonalds and its like $20 for a large meal! we did find a few good local places round the corner from my apartment in Oslo that sold beer for 26 NOK so all was not bad!

Sarah has an apartment in Greenwood just outside downtown Seattle (like 6 miles) so we will probably stay there until we get sorted and I start working out there. Just sensible finacially.. I have found a few new places I like in the area. However we want to move to Tampa Bay in a few years after Sarah has finished at University since she studies part time at U of Washington.

Well Olympia isnt far at all.. it would be a shame to not at least pop over and say hi! And I miss glog too!! (sorry i cant find the actual letter with the 2 dots over it) :-)

I actually really enjoy this group.. I love getting an update each day of how everyone is feeling.. funnily enough it is usually the same as me lol...

I'll def keep this up to date throughout the whole journey and also interested to see how you all get on after!! I just have such a good feeling that we'll all get processed in time and I really hope no one is left waiting...

maybe in the future we could even sort something like a reunion lol in a neutral place?? just an idea and maybe it would be fun!?



I would simply love that! I do hope we all keep in touch, even after the dreaded NOA2 wait. I plan on hanging out here throughout this entire journey, and if I know myself well enough.. I'll still be lurking here later on too blush.gif I can see Wade and I coming to a reunion with you guys, think it'd be lots of fun ^^

Speaking of, I see your local office is in Seattle, Seanyb! We might not land too far away from you, as we're going to live an hour away from Seattle star_smile.gif


yes im positive i'll still be around on here after it is all over... this site is truly amazing! Where abouts will you be staying Kristin? I actually spent 2 years in Norway working for a company called Think Global... loved it out there apart from the price of beer!! :-)

Yeah, this weekend definitely did drag on and on. I'll be so glad when he's finally here and I can enjoy a long weekend again and not simply look at it as three days off at CSC! laughing.gif

Yesterday we hit 60 days since our NOA1. So I tried to comfort myself (and him) by saying "There, we're 3/4 of the way through the wait." But then it only meant maybe another 1/3, or 30 days to go. Or worse. Ohhhhh, the ones who get held up for months and months scare me so badly!

He does so much better than I do. Inherently so much more patient. I wish I had his British sensibility smile.gif

I'm banishing all worry and thinking only good thoughts. Only good thoughts for all of us!!


being english and the guy.. trust me its no easier for us! i guess we just have to try and support each other the best we can. i often get the whole "your taking this so much better than me" speech :-)

we ARE getting there...(although i will be towards the end of you all in theory) just think its all of US next! i just want to wish you all the best and i truly hope it all goes smoothly


Oh my goodness! You sound like me roughsweet! My british (Scottish!) guy is a pain too! I hate how they're so sensible... No planning wedding stuff until we have the visa?? I think that's horrible wink.gif And the answer to the when can we **** **** questions is always "when we are financially ready" .... right!!!!

I keep trying to get him to commit to coming December 27th since he wants to spend one more christmas with his family... but he's having none of it when I try to pin him down to dates after this last trip. I thought London embassy was suppose to be the easiest to work with when you have concrete travel plans... too bad I can't make him agree to what I have in mind. I did however get him to say January 8th sounded like a good day to have our wedding. Even though he won't stick to it now I am going to hold him to it!!!




thats so funny! i've just been giving the whole when we are financially ready talk haha!! however I can say I have agreed a date for the wedding since it is booked near enough paid off now. Refreshing to hear the above though :-)

It looks like CSC finally got their @#*$ into gear last week!! wink.gif In glancing at the numbers, it seems that CSC does a lot of K1 approvals midmonth while VSC does them at the ending and beginning of each month. Maybe it is how the workload is setup? Different priorities at each location??



thats so weird... i was literally talking to sarah about the same thing on the phone just now!

they need to hire more people... would be so nice if they did!

Anyone else wondering if it's Igor's List or CSC that has had a bump in the road this week??? I'm feeling slightly disheartened to not be flying up the list like I was the last part of July.

Only 13 more days until I leave on vacation to see my sweetie, so at least that is something to bring a little bit of cheer!!

Hmmm... Not sure about that, seanyb, when I check Igor's list I see you as 286, Jewel as 284 and myself as 264. Am I looking in the wrong place? It's possible, I do tend to confuse myself easily with all of these dates and numbers! blink.gif

Jewel - it would indeed be sooooooo fun to be in London at the same time!! Either way it'll just be great to go through it with people who understand and are going through the same thing, right down to the same consulate! good.gif

hmmm strange... the link i have to it shows me at 247 and jewel at 238?? am i being stupid here and looking at the wrong list? i just googled igors list and the following link came up...

Are there only 5 of us so far? I am wanting to start a conversation. Maybe everyone can post the next expected time to see their sweetie and which methods of contact they are using?

I am jumping on a plane the evening of August 20th for my first visit to the UK. I am staying in London two nights to recover from jetlag and be a tourist before I catch another plane to Edinburgh. Any tips of fighting jetlag? I only have one experience with going to Europe and my experience during the first few days was horrible. sad.gif

We do not get to talk on the phone very often because we are watching the cash very closely. We use MSN chat and video only, but I wish I could talk on the phone more often. Maybe I should look into phone cards since my calling plan charges .69 USD a minute.

I am really hoping to have him here permanently by New Year's Eve. I know it's not probable, but it's still a possibility. We have a date set for January but know we might have to change it.


i'm hoping to go over towards the end of sept but not sure yet... I either use skype which is cheap to call the US (something like 1p/min) or when Sarah is home we'll call skype to skype via web cams. Its the best we can do and free like msn etc.

was hoping to be there myself for christmas.. for some reason im pretty hopeful.. just a feeling.

as far as jet lag its always worse coming east (for me anyway). I guess it depends on the arrival time in the UK but I usually sleep well on the plane over and arrive around midday UK time. other than that im always too excited to be tired!

we have the wedding booked in florida on 23rd April so im hoping that should be ok!

cheque cleared!! now the dreaded 3 month wait!!! :-(


I can live with 3 months to NOA2, its the ones that seem to collect dust for 6+ months that I worry about. We are so desperate to begin our life together... as someone else posted on another thread, the process is a bit sadistic for couples in love. But what can we do; support each other and know in the end we'll be together.



yes i hate the thought of that too! We've already had an initial 6 month wait since my fiancee had to apply for naturalisation so that we could do the K1 application... but yes your right.. just have to think it will all be worth it in the end.

It seems like the process is getting faster each month so hopefully we'll all go through smoothly....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC- 60 Day Letter

Like I said before...

 

My status has always been marked as "Paid" when I sign into...

 

https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

 

The receipt/invoice page never changed, but that IV login page that displays the status of the IV app...  It displays the current latest statuses of your case before the interview step...  IV remained at "Paid", then magically, one day, the AOS went from "Paid" to "N/A"...  To me, that means my case was being 'touched' in a sense...  Only reason it would be changed or 'touched' was if somebody was doing something with it...  And since I sent my AOS fixed papers with my IV Civil Documents, if that status changed, then no reason why the other might have also since they were together.  I called, and it was confirmed.  Case Completed, just didn't send me the e-mail yet.  Hell, the case statuses are still at "N/A" for some reason.


Serpent Dragon ZXMaleThailand2014-09-05 22:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC- 60 Day Letter

I got 2 checklists.  One for my civil documents (they were hell to get), and also they wanted me to re-do the AOS (I-184) because there was one spot, I simply left blank (because it said to leave blank, idiots)  but they wanted me to write "N/A" on...  Stupid, but I put them together, and sent as one package along with my civil documents.  They received and scanned my stuff July 10.  They told me I should have an answer by September 10, no matter what, even though I got the 60 day notice August 1.  it's 60 CALENDAR days, or 8 weeks from receive/scan date.  REPEAT, CALENDAR DAYS.  I know it sounds like I am repeating myself, but it's a HUGE difference.  because if it was business days like how they count everything else, it would be 12 weeks.  Sucks absolute balls when they DON'T count those precious weekends that they close on.  So...  Without further adue... :dance:

60 DAYS

or
8 WEEKS

or
2 MONTHS

However you want to look at it.  It's within that time frame.

I made this same topic...  Conclusion is, its 60 CALENDAR days from moment of them receiving the papers.  Day 52...  Approved, and sent to Embassy for interview.  Don't worry!  And by the way, the status of your fees being paid will switch from "Paid" to "N/A" on some stuff or other statuses going haywire all of a sudden, and then when that happens, CALL THEM, because there is a good chance it got approved, and passed on to the embassy for the interview...  My thoughts of someone playing around with my case or even touching it, was exactly that.  There is a few day delay getting the e-mail they told me when I called today.  But they told me the interview date and everything.  October 14.  WHOO HOO!!!

#######...?  That status of my AOS fee now says "N/A" instead of "Paid"...  I am suspecting odd movements on my case means activity and maybe someone is on my case now?  Statuses are known for going haywire when activity is happening, or something is about to happen.

Well, it told me the date from when they recieved my documents, which was July 10.  I got my notice about the 60 days August 1.  But both times I called, they tell me I should have an answer by September 10.


Serpent Dragon ZXMaleThailand2014-08-27 22:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports60 Day Backlog?

That's not right...  60 days from choice of agent...  Choice of agent, and I-184 is done before all that.  I got the 60-day notice just for them to open up my IV documents, and 'review' them so we can get our interview date finally....  Basically, just someone to open my package and say, "Yup, it's all here...  Send it to Bangkok.  NEXT!"

 

Edit:  By the way...  It's been 6 weeks since July 10 when they received my documents...  2 more weeks, and it will hit their ridiculous 60 day wait, COUNTING weekends...  Ugh...  So irritating.

Well, for a fact, it states everything is business days on every form,  It makes a difference.  I have been told wrong information consistently from ALL immigration offices.  Like when I argued they input her information wrong, but they insisted I am wrong, and yelled at me.  Then pointed the finger at me, that maybe I made a mistake...  Upon review of the forms that I submitted, they were at fault.  Apparently, I was married since 1989, but my wife was born in 2013 in their eyes, even argued on the phone about it, but they were clearly too stupid to notice it.  I called, 6 times...  The last person spotted it right away, noticed THEY made the mistake because she checked the forms I sent.  Just an example of the pure stupidity I have delt with.  They sent me an e-mail, they had reviewed my forms, and made numerous typos, and apologized for the mistake...  It cost me and my wife an extra 30 days because of their mistake...  30 business days to be exact...  After being explained that anything means business days (I called after 30 days), not counting weekends, because they don't operate weekends.  Ooorrr how they changed her name on the forms, reason because it "Just didn't seem right, and the agent thought he was correcting a mistake he assumed I maybe had made."...  After review, again they apologized for their typos and inability to scrutinize paperwork correctly.

How about you put the name "I", the damn petitioner put on the damn forms that match the other forms and all identifications...  Oh wait...  another 30 business days.  Ok, ok...  I'm ranting now...  Sorry.  Just...  The amount of stupidity we have to go through...  Annoying.  This has happened about 4 times...  between USCIS and NVC...  we are at wits end here.  Just wanted to see how long others had actually taken when got the same 60 days notice...  After all, I was told 2-4 weeks, then 6 weeks, now 60 days...  6 weeks just passed.  Looking to see if maybe there are any other surprises ready to be sprung.

60 BUSINESS days...  Another words, 60 days, NOT counting weekends.  It's what they do on all other documents usually, or tell me.  So 30 business days is 6 weeks.  60 business days is about 3 months...  I feel like they were just rude a-holes the last 2 days.  Just curious how close other people were, or how long they actually waited.  If it's actually 60 days, still want to shoot myself, but still better then 3 months!

Ok, so far, I'm just looking for a general idea of what date NVC is actually on.  Last I checked, they received my documents for the Visa application (DS-260) on July 10.  Initially, they told me 2-4 weeks to review.  I called at 4 weeks, they told me 6 weeks.  Then I got a notice saying they were backlogged and there was a 60 day wait.  I called at 6 weeks now for the hell of it, and I asked specifically when I should receive an answer, and 2 separate times, I was told, By September 10...  60 Days...  What the hell is going on?  I asked them, "3 month wait, correct?", and got yelled at that it was 60 days, not business days.  Both times this happened.  Extremely rude.  Before I could ask any other info, they would always yell out, "NO, Sir...".  Irritated the absolute hell out of me.  I never got any rude people from NVC before until yesterday, and today when I called.  I was simply trying to ask what dates, if any knowledge, they were currently working on, so I had SOME idea how close.  Anyone here that sent NVC their documents for a CR-1, and they recieved them before July 10 get the notice that it was approved yet?  Very frustrating.  2 more weeks I guess...  And this last process is absolutely killing my wife...  And I am being literal, she is starting to get bouts of depression, and starting to worry me.  We just want this process over with...  It's agonizing!

Got approved yesterday!  Received a RFE on Valentine's Day, but responded to it in 2 weeks...  I sent it in, and it got approved in about a week!  So fast!  They wanted to make sure our marriage was legit apparently...  USCIS changes the rules after they start to process your petition, and then end up sending out RFE like it's YOUR fault your missing something, or you weren't thorough enough...  Whatever.  They even sent my wife's J-1 Waiver to us too.  turns out they mailed it to the wrong address, and claimed they were at fault.  Things couldn't be better!!!

Just got a text from them, saying they are sending a RFE.  I'm not sure why, since I gave them ALL forms, and required info, and in great detail.  I hit the 60 day transfer notice like 2 days ago...  Coincidence?  I think not.  Looks like they are playing games to buy more time, and make it even more difficult for us.  My wife left at the end of June, and we are both very frustrated and angry.  We had our I-130 put in at the beginning of May.  It's Friday night, now I have to wait till Monday before I can call anyone about this...  To top it off, I'm away for 2 months for a road job...  #######...  This is totally not cool at all.  My wife is flipping out.  And I am equally angry.

 

Anyone know about how long it takes them to get the notice to you, or if you can even call them to see what the RFE is about?  I kinda want to get a head start on this in case we have to play games mailing stuff back in forth between my wife, and myself to send them their "request".  Or even how long it takes them to approve after they get their evidence?  I'm really angry about this right now.  Is there anyone else that had similar thing happen?
