outlook on Nan getting her passport... next to nill crying.gif

Her mother is the only thing standing in the way. She is an evil women who only wants money. She would rather have money than her own daughter. She told me she wanted 500,000.00 baht from me to give Nan the papers she needs. That is roughly $15,750.00 US Dollars. Nan does not know that I spoke with her mom yet... I was hoping to appeal to her sensibly. Guess not. So now we are stuck. Her dad offered to help me any way he could, but he really can't do anything for us because her mother is the one with the required documents (parents are divorced.) I am lost now... What more can I do. If I wasn't in the military I would have no problem moving to be with her, but unless I want to throw away my future AWOL is not a valid option (yet.)

I have been trying to take everything in stride these last couple weeks, trying to be optimistic, but I am losing hope now. I have no more funds available to bribe her mother with, and not having a vehicle is starting to get me aggravated as well. Good thing work is only 2 miles from my place. Riding the bike to work has started to really get me back in shape anyway. I guess I got that going for me, what do they say?, at least you have your health... haha oh geesh enough of my pity party.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend. I'm out. unsure.gif

Playing the waiting game.

if u say u get along with the father in law why cant he get a copy of his divorced papers? wasn't he the ex-husband to ur mother in law? he should be able to get if for u. we r going threw something like this that we need a copy of his father birth cert. but no one knows where his father is. on my fiancee birth cert has the wrong fathers name and the place where he was born. so my fiancee went to record place and they are helping him get this straighten out with out his father help . if she does a little leg work i bet she can get one too .

Thanks guys for all the info.. I feel much better now smile.gif .. I was a bit worried awhile ago.. Thanks again...



being an usps employee for 14years, it depends on the carrier, here if they r closed on the weekend we leave a notice and redeliver on monday. the reason we leave a notice is that it stop the clock on that piece of mail, we have to scan each of these piece and keep track of then. you as a customer thats what u pay for is to know where your piece of mail is . if i was you i would check after 5 pm tomorrow do to thats when most carriers have to be back and give then time to download it into the computer. now if it wasnt redeliver , call the place of where u were having it deliver to and have them call the post office to bring out again but im sure the carrier thats runs that route knows all about this office. yes it is better and cheaper to mail it delivery confirmation it takes the same amount of time but this way the carrier can leave it with all the other mail they would have and not bother with a signature. customer r a lot happier with that. i hope this helps u and any one else. good luck with your case

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUSPS...Notice left?
QUOTE (Mrs. Palmer @ Jul 25 2009, 05:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi guys...I shipped my AOS package to NH on 7/23. It was delivered to the address on 7/25 (today!) at 9:35 am. When I checked the tracking online it said that a "notice was left". Does this happen alot? I'm confused about what I should do. I wonder who is picking it up? Anyone experience this? unsure.gif

hey i'm being a postal employee, most likely the front office is close so there was no one to sign for your letter so we are to leave a notice that we attempt to deliver the letter, now depending on the carrier, some of them will bring it out on monday knowing they r closed on monday. or when they get there monday the front desk person wil ask then to bring it out again or someone from personal will go to the post office to pick it up. the best thing to do is wait after monday and see if it was deliver , if not call the office and ask them how do they handle getting letters that werer noticified i hope this helps. when we have an product that has to be scanned even if they r there or not, we have to scan it so stop the clock on that piece of mail and u have a notice on line of where that piece of mail is. so right now your letter is sitting at NH post office. good luck terri

Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask what are the evidences you prepare for proof of relationship. I have heard from friends who were approved that they had snail mails. Unfortunately, my fiancee doesn't want to do the snail mails. What if we don't have the snail mails, would that be a demerit?

I would appreciate any advice you may give to enlighten me... Thank you in advance... God bless us all innocent.gif

How do you determine if your file has been touched?



Go to www.uscis.gov and check your case there (and make an account).

You will see touches there.



Is it under the "last updated" section? Mine states 2/20/09 and I have never heard anything from them



yes - that shows you when they did something to it.

i've gone to this web site , where does it say"last update" im sorry i cant find it thank you

QUOTE (booger @ Jun 29 2009, 10:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello my VJ family, well i got bad news today .... After hearing rumors of possible lay offs, that became a reality today... the truck driving company i "worked for " layed 1500 people off.. starting with the newest ones first(me included). The economy has hit everything hard .... and we have the K1 pending now.. OMG my judy is going crazy. i have applied to every company i can Google up . and 99 % say the same thing , " must have at least_______ months experience to apply".... well i only have 1 month and then the layoff. that doesn't qualify me to work for them.... how does one get experience if they won't hire you ??? that was our only hope to be approved cause it paid so well,,, unless there's something i don't know that i could do to meet the 125%... as far as assets i have a bit of savings and a nice home and 2 nice cars . can those be used as assets that will help to be approved?. also, i can get my brother to co sponsor, BUT i hear the Manila embassy doesn't accept co sponsors... if i had another job driving or if my VJ family knows of another job driving that would take 0 experience , i would appreciate it so much... i am a non drinker ,nonsmoker and non drug user . i will do any type of drug test required . i need work... these $7 per hour jobs around me won't meet the 125% the embassy wants .... i am sorry to post this here and sound like i am begging and pleading but, actually i am , cause i don't know what to do now... she is my life and IF we fail the visa , then i will have to sell everything here and move there... please someone , give me work till the interview comes along (hopfully i will have a new job soon), but please any help or advice ... Wayne ........sorry , if i posted in the wrong forum helpsmilie.gif

QUOTE (ACGeiger @ Jun 29 2009, 04:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just out of curiosity, what did you all find was the hardest part of this whole process? Was it being away from your loved one, dealing with the government, or was it anything else that you found difficult?

Just wondering... best of luck to all

I'm genuinely curious of how the USCIS would react if a genuinely married couple answered that they didn't have sex during an AOS interview...anyway.... Off-Topic2.gif

... I think they'd be relieved the couple didn't have sex during the AOS interview... devil.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureslost passport photo
QUOTE (Gregg and Meg @ Jul 4 2009, 05:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, guys.


Long story short:

I woke up this morning and was thinking random thinkings in my head when I started thinking about our petition, and realised that I couldn't remember where I'd put my copy of the passport-sized photo that they ask for. I've been looking everywhere for it for the last hour or so but cannot for the life of me remember what I did with it (I put it in a 'safe' place, it's always the way). The company I got it taken with doesn't keep copies, so I can't get another one printed.

I just wanted to know, if worst does come to worst and I have lost it, how will this affect our petition when it comes to my interview at the embassy?

I mean, I know it's 'just' a photo, but I'm seriously stressing that it's going to go bad ways. sad.gif



Thanks in advance.


hello and 1st i want to say welcome to vj. if u r the one who lives in england, i was told by my fiancee and others on this site that at the embassy when u go for your interview there is a photo boothe right there. so if u cant find yours or forgot yours the day of the interview , u can take them that day to give to them. lastly please update your time line thanks and have a wonderful day. kicking.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresContact representative at this point?
QUOTE (trdc3lica @ Sep 23 2009, 11:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi guys,

I was wondering whether it would be worth it to contact my representative at this point. I filed for K1 in mid May and the 5 month time-frame
is almost over. If I hadn't been following Igor's list and VJ I'd wait until the 5 months were up. But seeing so many people who applied after me getting their NOA2's before me is disconcerting. If you check Igors list for CSC, of the last 20 approvals 14 have been from June filers. I haven't so much as received a touch since the initial NOA1 mid-may.

So, is it a good idea to get the congressman involved this early?

Thanks in advance for any replies.


hello it was 4 months for me and every one was pasting me, i called uscis in cali two times and getting no where with them, i called my congressman, she called me back right away and had me fill out that same form, i gave my wac.........# as soon as she got it she called and emailed them that same day, i was touch that day and them touch the next day which turn out they gave me my approvel, so my congress person help, i did explain to her that ppl after me were getting approved and i wasnt even touch, she was upset about this so make sure u tell them about how many ppl after u got approvel letter, i pick this congress person cause i voted for him and i made sure she new i voted for him and i fully support him , the lady i was talking to, work in his office and she only deals with immg. so let them know that u r going threw cali give them all information u can cause that will help. so my advise is go for it, whats there to lose. they tell u to wait 5 months point well u will have a head start, good luck
