K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNO touches, NO approvals for the week of Dec. 8th
Svetlana, I dont reall know what to answer. as I think now, I would go with the I130, if they get approved same time. not to deal with waitings again. but who knows what impulse ill have then? this process damaged my thinking logic skills. forced me to adapt to chaos. maybe i just go to interview and say ty for yr visa, but u can keep it, my husband moved to europe. wouldnt be so surprising, as it seems they give us a lot of time to put order in our lives and consider all options. even the crazy ones, because who is really sane after dealing with our beloved VSC?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNO touches, NO approvals for the week of Dec. 8th
u are all ungrateful. as for me, I know VSC changed my life. what was I before VSC? the kind of normal person, working mon-fri, running errands, waiting for the weekend to come, enjoying weekends, hating mondays, hoping for short fridays. not much fun. but since crossing path with VSC, I am changed. my whole view changed. I love mondays, when I imagine the VSC engine starting to move, I wish for long fridays, I hate weekends when nothing moves. I am not wasting weekends having fun anymore. no, I am counting the hours for monday to come. I dont let any day pass without spiritualy evolving either. I developed new ways to pray, hope, curse, read fortune, my bag of superstitions increased, i almost invented spells, I watch for signs, I keep all my lucky items with me all the time... thinking to get a voodoo kit soon. just if now VSC wouldnt screw up and end this enlightening phase in my life, in 2-3 months I am sure Id develop a teleporting machine too. I d get there, Id get rich. the way I see it, if Id get approved now, would be just VSC in the way of my spiritual evolving and inventions. and Id be forced to go back to the small routine of enjoying life. and whats worse, I might get normal again.

I bet on 3 approvals and I really hope none of those will be mine.

and to share from my useful set of superstitions, we think nothing that starts in a tuesday has a happy ending. no monday approvals, so I hope nothing will happen today either.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved- Thank God!!
Congratz, Sanket! this is great news. also gives me hope i could get somth before christmas, as we have exactly same dates both for I130 and I12F. I'll allow SraCastillo andy roy to get approved before me, then is my turn. I've decided. has to be before 20 when my husband comes visits me, so he can send first NVC package before coming here.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresweekend pity party K3 VSC'ers
This weekend was so horrible that I couldnt even join a pity party. been readong yr posts, but i was unable to type any line. had the dangerous "everything is useless" feeling. a slight depression was courting me, i guess. didnt even have the motivation to go shopping for gifts, and i usualy love to do that. i like to find the perfect thing for everyone and then see them enjoying their presents. not to mention that as a good eastern orthodox which i am , i'm fasting too, and u were talking food and goodies here. I am living on a cow's diet since weeks, i dream milk and chocolate when i sleep, so no, i couldnt join the party. but is monday already here, so i am back, and hopefuly with energy too

Narina, life is too short to get mad at meaningless stuff. best is to just ignore them. a cool feature here would be an "ignore user" option. ud just push the button and not see any of their posts. that way would be no need to close threads. anyways, I think u better share the funny dinner story. will cheer u up, will cheer us up.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresLet's start a guessing game...
my bet last week was for 3 approvals and none of those mine. seems i won the bet, and can join the pity weekend party now. the guess for next week is 2 approvals. sracastillo and mine. roy and desiman on 22nd. ill start to focus on sending antsy thoughts to vsc ppl. I was thinking to induce the "i can't rest until i approve andreea&lee file" in their mind. now all I have to figure out is how to do that.

Narina, I already wrote a letter to Santa, and expect him to place the NOA2 under my christmas tree. if it doesnt happen, means he has a broken leg or somth, and I wouldnt wish that to all those in the world who wait for him. but anyways, if thats the case, yr prediction might be true. and Ill be between u and Lisa. maybe I should write one more letter to Santa, now if I am in writting letters modus, and tel him if is too hard to deal with vsc and get my approval, to at least make me win lottery. and we move to europe, end of story.

thank u everyone. I never knew group waiting can be so addictive and u can attach to ppl in same boat with u so much. my confesion is that I announced here I have my NOA2, and just then call my mother to give her the good news. I thought was a funny reaction, when i realized it

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThe waiting at VSC is over. got approval
Chris&Jessica, the long wait is for NOA2. CR1 visa is way better than K3 .and if they get approved same time, best choice to me looks like CR1. but I will go both routes same time, wont hurt anyways. the hope is to get a good date for K3 interview, and by then to be done with NVC and change it to CR1 interview. good luck with yr approval. should come anyday now

andreeaFemaleRomania2008-12-16 02:22:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThe waiting at VSC is over. got approval
as for now I am sailing between K3 and CR1 forum like a mad woman. my husband has a huge presentation tomorrow, and hes very antsy at work, so I celebrate alone. have all this energy now and dont know what to do with it. I knew I am totaly ready for next steps, have all paperwork ready, but my mind is blank now. I should read guides again, but dont have patience for it. whats going on at NVC..hmmmm... from what Ive seen, CJ-Vasani made real progress there, hes moving very fast, so i officialy designed him to be my guru in the process. I think will go with both CR1 and K3 in paralel, and see how it turns out. my hope is to get a good date for K3 interview and be able to change it for a CR1 if everything goes well. but even if I am becoming a CR1 person now, u guys r still my family and Ill still be around here

desi, last week I made a bet next is SraCastillo and myself, then u and robby monday on 22nd. seems for him i was only wrong about which monday, so Id say u have to check yr case status every hour, and mail too. sometimes hard copy comes without case status being updated. even in my case, took them 2 days to update status and send email. not to mention that it came while i was posting here somth about I wish i get good news this week. as i pushed "add reply", I've recieved email. and the email was wow, the one I am waiting since months, the only one that matters since a while. so Desi, Id say u get the approval email anytime now, if u didnt already get approved and NOA2 hard copy is in its way.

NVC here I come! we have all paperwork ready for next steps, and what was the most difficult is over. the long long waiting. my K3 lil family, I am focusing in pulling all of u out of VSC as soon as possible, to have company at NVC. remember, power of mind does miracles.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMY FRIENDS, PLS HELP! I FEEL IN A NOIR COMEDY
thank u very much for advices. he was out hunting for cards, i was here asking, and at the end turns out the lab provides codes they can use to call long distance US to US, can use it anytime, and at the end u get a bill on how much u spent. so, let the calling begin. is funny how a lil thing like this can turn a calm woman like me in a hysterical. the long waiting before, the excitement we r finally moving on, and then this! seems all this process turned me in a freak. i feel like those ppl who been attacked by a tiger and now they freak out when they see a cat. i develop processing phobia

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMY FRIENDS, PLS HELP! I FEEL IN A NOIR COMEDY
I am talking about a card with a code.then on a landline u dial that code before dialing the number where u call, and it wont charge the landline, will charge fom the card. i asked this because he could use it to call from lab landline. he went to convenience store and the grocery store in his area, and he didnt find phone cards like this for long distance in USA phonecalls. he only found phone cards with specific offers (for international phonecalls, for a specific country). i know all this sounds dumb, i couldnt believe my ears when he told me. not to mention the area there isnt rich in options,as in an institute complex at 40 mins to DC. thats why he doesnt have landline home either. is institute housing, and they didnt instal landlines in residential buildings. he didnt bother to get a home phone because well move from there when ill (hopefuly) arrive

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMY FRIENDS, PLS HELP! I FEEL IN A NOIR COMEDY
oh, we r in big trouble. seems the AVG doesnt recognize my husband's cell phone. he said he had this problem before. when they ask press key 1, for example, he does, and system doesnt take it. for a phone he pays 200$ every month, thats just not cool. he doesnt have a landline home, and cant make long distance phone calls from work. for USCIS he was calling from work landline, but was a 1-800 number.

did anyone have a similar problem? he has coleagues who offered their phones to call, but not only that is long distance and u r on hold for a while, but is a number he'll have to call too often for this to be a good solution. does anyone know if there r phone cards or somth u can use on any landline, and to charge from the card and not from the landline? I cant believe we r out of VSC and a freakin phone is in our way. I just cant believe. is such a stupi situation that I dont know if to laugh or to cry about it.

if SraCastillo didnt get any news yet, I think is fair to think our file isnt there yet either, because we had approval same day at VSC. so we didnt slow ourselves because of phone yet, but we have to find a solution ASAP!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 almost done, need minor kids to come
there were questions in the forms about yr kids, and if they will join u at this time or at a later date. did u mention them there, as possible immigrants? i am sorry to say, but might be yr kids process will take as long as yrs. fact that a pregnant woman or with a new born is waiting for months to be approved doesnt make the visa to come faster, so I am afraid that u leaving yr minor kids home alone wont impress them either. or maybe they dont even know whats the case until it gets on their desk, and thats is in months from the aplication. i wish u all good luck and patiece, seems yr journey will still a while.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow long have you been married
We had our civil marriage on 23rd february 2008. and the religious one on 22nd of august. the difference is because we wanted to have the marriage certificate and file ASAP, but I didnt want o be a winter bride. and also preffered to have some time for preparation of his baptism, the dress, the reception, his folks to have time to book tickets in advance and so on. we consider the religious ceremony to be the real marriage, when we exchanged rings and been blessed. for both events my husband was here for like a week, but u know the stressed time around marriage. so basicaly we had 2 weddings and no honeymoon yet. had to pick between him taking more time off once and have aa honeyweek, or take shorter time off more often. picked the second on. so he can visit once at 2-3 months, a weekend and 2 extradays. is very short, time flies, but helps a lot. we've known eachother, living over skype, developing ways to comunicate over ocean since 2005. I wont touch comp for months when i get there!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNO touches and NO approvals for the week of Dec. 15th
I am back. I didn't get more than one touch for each one of the files, back in may. nothing since then. next touch was on december 15th, after the approval-dec 13rd. probably when they sent case to NVC and hard copy NOA2 (which we didnt get yet, btw). so dont get discouraged if u don't see any touches.

as for the working days at USCIS, I don't know but we asked at NVC, and they said they have thursday and friday free, plus the weekend. another thing is that yes, NOA2 is a bless, but even if USCIS is working between Christmas and New Year, and they approve files, post doesnt work normal at that time, at NVC things wont really move. so will just have the NOA2 and get stuck somewhere else in betweem until after New Year, so I think NOA2 next week or in first week of january will make just a psychological difference, not a difference time wise for the process. I know because since NOA2 we only got the NVC number, and we dont have high expectations in DS-3032 to be generated this year. same thing with the K3 package. yes, theyd send it to consulate, but I am sure embasy here will be on break during holidays, so nothing would realy happen. I was just saying to point out is no reason to be unpatient now, things will realy start to move after New Year.

enjoy life,

ladies, relaxxx. some of us $hagged today- last night- these days - last weeks - past months. some didnt. shame on those who $hagged and dont wear gloves when adressing the nerves of those who didnt. shame on those who show they didnt. and last but not least, shame on those who had the $hagging chance and didnt, and act just like those who haven't had that opportunity in months. long live chocolate (as they say is instinctive surogate for the big lack).

so ladies, sweethearts, lets quit snaping and have a snaps instead, bust the glasses into shivers at the end, because shivers always bring good fortune and happyness, shake hands, throw in some smiles, life is beautiful, #######, is a pitty to waste time arguing things that dont worth arguing, lets agree to disagree, thats a great invention of mankind.

yes, u can all get mad at me now, make a greater aliance and bring it all on me, i dont mind take some yelling as long as is constructive for peace on the long shot. and yes, i didnt get to sleep yet, so excuse me, but i am allowed to be weird now.

a toast for the VJ's! argumens or no arguments, this is a helpful place, and we should start with the presumption no one comes around with the intend to harm, and even if disagreements might occur, is imposible to have many ppl who think with their own head and have them all agree at all times. cheers!

hey gang! did u see desiman around? i have a feeling VSC is searching for him to give his approval. all ready wrapped up with a bow on top, just have to hand it to him.

as for the vermont trip, if some would decide to go, i think by the time u get there will be an entire caravan of VJ's joining. would be like a pilgrimage to an oracle. VSC, the one who has the answers to all yr questions-wonders-dilemas(and keeps them secret too)

anyways, I wish u a Merry Christmas, I wish u a Merry Christmas, I wish u a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....smile my friends, better days are coming and life is beautiful any harsh curves it would take. as long as we both see same sun up on the sky, love conquers all. the heck with the big water between us. if would be to drink it all to make our ways to eachother, and still the day to see sunrise at the same hour as my lover will come. since I am doing my waiting time, Ive comforted myself with the idea that if ppl live their loves like a normal day-nihgt cycle, I am now going through a polar night, but oh boy, the polar day will come too and will be long, rejuvenating, peaceful, sunny and BEAUTIFUL!

if all this sounds like melodrama, forgive me, is almost 1 pm here and didnt sleep for last night yet. and sleepyness makes me sound that funny sometimes. lover and i decided 19th of december is as good as any day to celebrate love, even if is in virtual space. I feel recharged.

Narina, seems if u follow shortcuts and u r on top of the situation, at NVC u really have some control. look at CJ-Vasani timeline. in 2 weeks hes almost ready with NVC for CR1. for K3 they sheduled his interview at beginning of april, so if everything goes well, he can change the K3 interview for a CR1. doesnt hurt to go both ways same time, and see how things work out. keep options opened. he's my guru now, and I really hope we can go fast through NVC too. but is a bad time now for us, with holidays and all. and my husband will be here from 23rd dec till 4th of jan. so in that time we'll be in stand by. only thing well be able to do will be call or pay some things online, but not send any package. still, I am happy we r out of VSC

Narina, u still have courage to bet? I dont. seems this week VSC surprised us. maybe is like lotery, where they make the numbers no one plays to win. so each of us should bet a number, starting with 1 approval, and going 2, 3, 4, and so on. so VSC would have to approve a big number none of us to win the bet. we try? I bet for 10, so theyll have to do more than that.
