The NVC isn't involved with K-1 visas. All that happens to a K-1 at the NVC is that it is assigned a number and then sent to the relevant embassy. All over in a matter of days. Spousal visas are immig

I don't have time for politics because it's just a game for rich people to burn the hell outta poor people and I do have a great job so NO. This is my way to say because this is my right to say whatever I want to say and I would say whenever I confront someone who thinks Trump is a great president. He is a bigot and has a long history of misogyny.

You went through NVC almost exactly same time as my husband. Back in end of 2015 to fall (August) of 2016 it was 30 days or less.
But why in the world was your interview 16 months later or is that 5/15/17 a typo.

 

Oh wait I get you were LPR then you upgraded. I get.

You are not really posting anything new. Someone else mentioned that and I addressed it.

 

I stated that there are European and non-European immigrants. Trump is very leary of non-European immigrants.

Trump's wife is from Slovenia and that is in Europe.

 

By the way, in case you don't know, the vast majority of people in the US are descendants of immigrants. It's just that those from European countries get a lot of preferential treatment.
