Lisa, I've done this immigration thing years ago and was on the other end of the coin (the beneficiary) and the interview is just a recapping of all the info, going over the money (of course) and them just looking you over....if you have your ducks in a row as most of us does, its no biggie, in and out pretty much. I called the NVC today and the lady said nothing to me about AP like the other guy...funny how they may just be throwing the word around maybe...oh well....
Good vibes to everyone....

Still stewing away....told Nigel about the AP...sooooo who knows........still very mad and upset and all that...course maybe Ian and Lisa have had time to deal with it but its only today for me since finding out...and really quite upset about it...however i did budget time wise to get out of the NVC at the end of August maybe first week of Sept anyway....then 60 ish days for a interview in London average, so thats still late November maybe first few weeks of December like I was figuring....so i donno...we'll see....everyone else is out of NVC looks like...so thats good anyways....feel like beating my head againsed the wall!!!!!!!!!! Probably sleep good tonight now.....worn out!

Well thanks for all the quick replies of encouragement, it does help ...i'm just a basket case this morning and feel like Sh%$. I sure hope this AP will go fast....how can they just receive our info on Friday the 14th and then just "decide" on AP!!! Stupid!!!!!!!!
I'm not gonna tell Nigel cause I dont think he quite understands this whole stupid process and just wants to up and move...well we all know different don't we! I'm definitely not regretting anything thats for sure and will go to the end of the earth for that man so whatever but still.....AAAARRRRGHHHH!!!!
I'm still gonna phone them on Friday and bug the Sh%t out of those poor operators however!!

Maybe I shouldn't have called at all....


I feel so sick right now.....just want to cry my face off....MAKES ME SOOOO MAD........i want to but i dont want to tell anyone about this you know, especially Nigel who seems to be also quite frustrated with this stupid process...was getting all exited on the progress and now look at where we are at....seeing some stats...now we're in the same boat is our Ian and Lisa...
I'm absolutely livid.

Well to be honest, we dont have to have the shots done till the foreign one gets to the USA and files adjust of status. So to go on the rampage and get shots done, unless its free of course abroad, why bother until you get to the USA and do it here? I donnooooo.........course I like the free part if it is...however here in Arizona, there's shot clinic's all over the place.....

Soooo, I hope, seeing most of everyone's timelines, the NVC takes a couple days to send away...except Lisa and Ian...so maybe this WEEK will be when they send our stuff to London.....i'm crossing my fingers!

I'm so bored.......Nigel's working 12 hour shifts so I can only see him on Wednesdays if I'm lucky, only so much cleaning round the house one can do! Tomorrow's the first day of school for my 15yr old daughter who's gonna be in grade 10...sooo, we'll see how that goes if she gets up on time! Work like normal....planning a little bit for the Vegas wedding, budgeting the cost, hotel, etc, kinda sucks when you dont know what kind of date to go by...hoping big time for Novenber....Thanksgiving's gonna be a pain in the b-hind for flights as well as the first 2 weeks of December is national finals rodeo in Vegas so thats gonna be difficult...then there's Christmas which as we all know is ANOTHER pain in the butt for flights and travel but hey whatver....soooooooooo, prayin' hoping, wishing on stars whatever that it will be before Thanksgiving when Nigel comes over here...AAAARRRGH.

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend ...

Just a update on our RFE situation ... I received it in the mail today ..

They are asking for a photo copy of my passport ( Which was my guess ) and evidence of meeting in person within the past 2 years ... which I assume they are looking for the stamps in my passport. So that is great as I already have a extra copy made and ready here from when Jenelyn needed a copy for her CFO certificate .... I am thankful it is a easy quick fix and I hope the rest of our Journey goes quick and smooth now.

Thanks to all those who have left me a comment here or in private messages.... the support is amazing and we thank you all for that!



Great news! Well dont forget a picture or so!

Well I'm still waiting for NVC to send things off to London...we'll see....Nigel's damn tickled pink about the NOA2 I think it brought back his faith in stuff cause I think he was getting sort of discouraged or pessimistic or just in denial that this whole thing REALLY does WORK...lol.

Ahhh, just the i-485 and the work authorization one? I can see the logic cause the i-130 is the first bit for spouses, and we did the first bit for the fiance i-129!!! Oh Ok! Jeeezzz, good thing I have this forum....lol. I may have to do more reading! lol.

Sorry to get off topic, but the embassy e-mailed Lamine and I packet 3 this morning!!!!!! kicking.gif

I can't believe how quickly this is going.....

We don't have to mail in any of the paperwork-we just bring everything with us to the embassy! That will cut down on two weeks of time with me mailing stuff to him. This way I can just bring it with me when I fly over there!

Woo-hoo! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Yes, i suppose it may be a good idea to get the i-130 and the i-485 going....i've got that book on fiance/spouse immigration from NOLO from the library (yes its the latest) lol. So I am going to read that and then cross reference it here....i guess it should be a good idea for to have that going and ready for when he comes over being we will be busy with wedding, then bank accounts, etc....changing names on everything....looking forward to getting rid of this last name of mine now...lol...he wants to ask the customs/border people about the work permit when he crosses...some say certain ones give one out first thing...i told him he may not be able to...have to wait to submit it with the i-130 stuff. Soooo we may have a crabby boy who cant work for a few months....awwww........i may have a re-modeled house by the time we adjust status...LOL. Anyways, its 5:34am, the future mother in law buzzed in on Skype and chatted with me....at 74 i think she forgets the time difference! However my fault for leaving Skype on but its so Nigel can buzz in at any time...whatever............

Sigh ... I can't imagine what they are going to ask for ... only thing I can think of is I didn't include a photo copy of my passport ... but included all airline tickets/ boarding passes / iterneries / hotel receipts etc ... and a original birth certificate ... I was all excited yesterday for the approval finally and yet we get this just to add more waiting waiting time ... pisses me right off this process ..


Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent


You know, thats #######...I sent just a photocopy of my passport pic page, and photocopy of my naturalization certificate, 3 photocopies of the expedia.com receipts for the airfare, 1 picture of us, a email from nigel, and my latest phone bill at the time plus the forms! Thats it! That birth certificate may have been the prob if its not a long form for some reason....maybe thats it, I saw a bunch of people crabbing about having a long form birth certificate. I donnooo...all i gotta say is thats ####### for you, i'd be p.o'd too.............small consolation......at least they're on the ball and then you can hurry up and send them back what they want....

Tonight I just cant stop smiling! I sure hope i can get a hold of Nigel tonight when he has to wake up for his morning shift job (UK time).......we'll see...right now i'm bored out of my tree!

Ok how's this ticker then? Woke up waaaay too early with Nigel buzzing in on Skype waking me up...lol...I dont mind however...my skpye is on whenever I'm home for him or his family to buzz in to talk to me or whatever, quite handy, I guess my upcoming father in law is coming to stay with us for a month when he comes with Nigel at port of entry for our wedding. Nice, cause he's a awesome old guy...the guys can try to make me a English garden in my Arizona dirt or make us a proper breakfast fry-up...lol....we'll see how that goes lol. Give the boys something to do while I go back to work...may fend off the homesickness for him too....course I can imagine the wet eyes when his dad leaves...oh man i can just picture that! My family was a basket case leaving me for the first time down here after coming with me with my new visa in hand. Yikes. Anyways, off to work....positive visa thoughts everyone!!

I'd start doing the daily 1-800-375-5283 workouts if I were you. No telling if you'll get an email notification. "Hello, my USCIS receipt number is xxxxxxxxxx and I need to know the date my petition was approved and if it has been sent to National Visa Center yet."


Yes big time...........i'm just waiting till they send me a hard copy! Isnt it mostly with everyone, a few days after a touch they get something in the mail? We'll see!

Yes, i did put in for the email and I check online every day........soooooooooo, just have to sit tight i guess....busy today, registering my 14yr old for school, dentist this afternoon for her, thinking about taking my cat to the vet for a urinary problem she's always had...again and again...no money for that so may think about putting her down in the near future, not liking that but whatever...she's 9 years old....so i am busy nonetheless, very hot here in southern Arizona today, 106F today and the rest of the week about that, we're absolutely cooking with the heat in this house!! So we're swimming next door for a few hours every evening, then go home to the heat and bbq, keeping Skype on....lol........my family in Canada are all laughing at me cause they are nice and comfy in their 70F or so weather in Alberta....but i'll get them! I laugh at them at their -40 winters and I just say, oh its warm here bbq'ing in our shorts and tshirts, hahahaha! So i guess i'm paying for it now! Should be good for Nigel cause when he gets here it will be at least November maybe, so that will be lovely weather! Keeping y'all posted...........

We didnt have anything too complicated and I'm sure I put what I needed in there! Even a flipping RFE would be nice then I can just fix it or just approve me already!
