Curious how many of you would still check/post Vj after getting all throu the INS process? And why?

I am not sure if I will still be around once I am completely done....after arriving in US Jan 05 I didn't post for a long time....until the next stage.

We were waiting for our original petitions to be approved when I found this site....so glad I didn't find it earlier....I would have worried too much.

As it was I just read the instructions and filed confident that I had done everything correctly. No RFE's....so far....touch wood!

I'm an Other. I stay to offer support to the ones that are having a hard time handling the stress of the wait. Most of my work is done in PM's. I don't stay current on the changing USCIS rules, so I don't offer advice on specifics, just give support when needed.

That would be my concern, too: that anything that I may pick up along the way will be rendered useless in the future because the rules changed . . . again.

How would the rules change?

I would want to stay on to offer others support and share any experiences which might help. I've gotten TONS of useful info here!

It seems USCIS is always changing, for example when we were going thru the process, there was no IMBRA. Forms change as do addresses that things get send/transferred to.

Definitely would stay. First of all what the heck else would I do??? lol. Secondly though, to share my experience not just of the visa rules and such but of how to get through the stress and heartache one day at a time. Others' experience has helped me so I feel I should give back when I am able. Plus I'd want to be here to cheer on the others who went through it with me and who I have come to know.

I still will be on VJ cos I may have questions still, share my experience and its fun to read some of these posts.

I'm still here...almost 3 years now. I didn't think I'd be on much after Sujeet came. But then after I stopped working and he is gone working all day, I end up back here a lot!

Too entertaining to miss

I would probably come on now and again when I'm bored and want to share information, but I'm sure that I probably will have a lot of other things (like the rest of my life) to get on with after all this is done.

I've been here for almost 3 years now (March 2004).... It's been almost 2 years since we got our GC and still posting... but I don't know for how much longer...

I'll count "all petitions" as including I-751 (removal of conditions)--it's still almost two years away, so I can't say.

I like the vibe here, and I enjoy the disputes, jokes, silly threads, and trolls. So I think I'll stick around for a while..

First 3 ones.

Not sure yet, I stopped for quite a while after our AOS was approved, then started back up a few months before the I-751 was due. That'll probably not be adjudicated until May, and then after that he's eligible for citizenship in October. I think I'll probably leave altogether once the N-400 stuff is all done.

I appreciate all the help from the seasoned VJers who stick around to help others and keep up-to-date with immigration issues. If not for their combined experiences we'd all be lost in a shuffle of paperwork and waiting and misinformation from USCIS.

So I'll probably stick around and answer questions where I can. It's an overwhelming process and I can't imagine how I would have dealt with this all if not for this site and its members who take the time to help answer questions.

I think we will stick around. So many people have contributed much to make this site what it is today. I’d like to help others as I’ve been helped (pass along the good deeds).

The visa process appeared to be a huge obstacle at first. This site calmed our nerves, provided great input, and showed there were others going through the same process.

To everyone on VJ …. thank you.

Definitely...I would want to share our experience with others, especially those who follow us. I'm addicted to VJ!

im sticking around for a while i guess. i still enjoy reading the posts.

all of my info is old news now tho. they have changed alot of things since we applied.

good luck to everyone starting their journey.

IMO I think it is very helpful for Veterens of this forum to check in every now and then to help those new to this process.
I would have been lost had it not been for those who had been through the whole experience, share their wisdom, advice and
overall support.

My way of giving back to those who helped us is to Pay it forward to those you need help from my experience.

I totally agree that I want to try to help other people dealing with immigration, VJ has been a huge help to me And it has given me something to distract myself until my husband gets here

I will most likely stay around until after my own Naturalization process is over and probably until my daughter's Naturalization process is over. I am just now in the Removal of Conditions process, and my K-2 daughter has had her GC for 1 year, so we still have Removal of Conditions for her (in 1 year) and Naturalization for her (in 4 years).

I am finding that things have changed quite a bit over the years, and sometimes I am unable to answer questions from other VJ members because certain requirements didn't apply when I was going through the various processes.

I have been a member since 2004, and am not a USC myself, as is my daughter. I still try and offer assistance to anyone I can, but these days I seem to be contacted more by PM or e-mail than anything else.

Our case is one of the rare ones - but not for much longer if the processing delays continue to grow. I look on here now purely to see if anyone is going through the same thing as us, or if anyone can offer any assistance because they know something we don't about the situation we are in - maybe something we've missed.

Once my son's case is finally dealt (whichever way it goes) I never want anything more to do with immigration matters.

I would like to stick around after we're done with the process to could keep in touch with the friends I've made and help out future people as I've been helped.

I'm still here waiting for the removal of conditions time

VJ's become a part of my life and I've made some friends here... I'll be hanging around.

proble not...

Not sure but probably just to waste time when I'm bored at work.
