Paul I would keep trying...like I said if you email them again and dont receive a response, then I would fax them and ask it that way and maybe ask them to call you or something? I cant understand why they havent responded...It never took over a day or two for them to respond to me. I even slipped up one time and emailed them twice in one week to see if they had it.

Misty,

I just sent the london.uscis e-mail address another mail and received a reply in 2 MINUTES!

However, It's not the reply I wanted!!!! it read:

This office does not have your I-601 waiver application. We have not yet

received it from the U.S. Consulate at the American Embassy in London. You

will

need to contact the Immigrant Visa Unit at londonconsular@state.gov

USCIS - London

So can someone please tell me the difference between londonconsular and london.uscis????

should I e-mail the consular address?

(totally confused as to where my I-601 is!!! )

When did you file your I-601 waiver, and how?

The London Consular unit has the responsibility for issuing visas. The USCIS office has the responsibility for adjudicating waivers. If USCIS London does not have it, e-mail the Consular unit and verify that they've received it and will be passing it on to USCIS.

If you mailed your waiver, you might remember from your initial visa process that London sometimes takes 2-3 weeks to open and process mail.

Good luck!

Hi Pax,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

well initially I filed the original I-601 on the 2nd of February (the day of my K1 visa interview) in the London Embassy. However they sent me a letter asking for two seperate hardship letters and two completed G-325a forms that were sent to them via special delivery on the 15th of February.

So I'm really confused as to what my filing date will be? the 2nd of Feb? or whenever they get round to eventually opening the letter that was sent on the 15th???

Eeeeeek.

Yeah, e-mail the London Consular address. First, verify that they received those additional materials and that your file is now complete. Then ask if it's been forwarded to USCIS yet and, if not, when it will be.

Be aware that if those were sent on the 15th, you may be looking at another 2 weeks before they get around to opening them.

mmmmmmmm (deep breath)

I'd have to agree with Pax Paul...It probably is still at the consulate. I would think they would use the Feb. 2nd date as that is the original date you sent it in. I hope you hear something soon..by the way that was the same email they sent me back in November when I emailed them asking if they had received my waiver from Denmark. So at least they're consistent!

jpkeswim----have you heard anything yet????

No passports again for me today kids....I am getting very very frustrated here! It's almost like waiting for the waiver all over again! Grrrrr....

[jpkeswim 0]

NO WORD YET TODAY!

I AM THINKING OF TRYING TO MOVE THE WEDDING BACK A FEW WEEKS NOW! IF WE DON'T KNOW SOMETHING BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN MOVE IT BACK. WE HAVE TO SEND OUT INVITES AT LEAST 6 WEEKS IN ADVANCE......URRRGGGGHHHH! HOW FRUSTRATING THIS IS!

I KEEP PRAYING FOR THOSE PASSPORTS FOR YOU - MISTYB !

TOMORROW IT WILL BE 12 WEEKS SINCE OUR INTERVIEW AND SINCE WE FILED!

[MistyB 0]

Wow that sucks about your wedding! I hope you get your answer soon!

[sharky 2]

Jpkeswim and Misty,

sorry to hear about your waiting aswell. It seems that this whole forum is counting down the minutes and hours until they get their precious "approveds" and documents, I really hope things come together for both of you really soon...... and on that note I hope things are equally sucessful for Mary and Tom. It must be terribly frustrating for you both.

I think I will have to agree with Misty and Pax that my letter is sitting in a pile unopened at the embassy, it's so blo#dy frustrating that they take so long to open letters. I really thought we could file on the 2nd of Feb, and due to an error by a consular officer it now looks like a whole month has been wasted for my waiver.

I guess I'll just wait a few weeks and e-mail the consular address again because they certainly aren't e-mailing me.

Just a quick question, is the london.uscis dept. in the same building as the london.consular???

(probably not eh? )

[wendibob 0]

I heard that it was the same building!

[jpkeswim 0]

Well guess what still no new news! This is starting to make me very upset and worried that something is wrong. I really don't want to move to England!

When will the answer come???? It's 12 weeks today and they told us 6-12 weeks.

No news for us either. Yesterday was 12 weeks from when they received our petition. Today was 11 weeks from when it was put into the system. We were told two months. The longer we wait the more worried I am that something is wrong. Tom keeps saying to not think like that.

If I have to move to England, I will have to give up being part of my kids and my grandkids lives. Also, because housing costs are so outrageous here, we would never be able to afford the space we already would have back in Michigan. I own a 2000 sqare foot home that I have lived in for 30 years. I would have to give up nearly everything I own (would not have room for it here) and try to sell a house that will not sell well in todays market. The house is 150 years old and in need of repair. It's worth far more to us as a place to live than as a source of money. I don't know how I would gather the energy to do it all. I worry that we would be separated for months and months... a year even.

Well we have already been apart for a year, other than the three times that I have been to England. It is really hard and frustrating. Planning a wedding without him here and not knowing for sure if he will be back. Oh and never getting any input about the wedding....so I am doing it all myself.
