Hi All,

I was in Bermuda has recently been laid off. My I130 has been approved and now just waiting for NVC process.

my question is;

1. I am going to states for a month to visit my husband then fly to my hometown using the free ticket the company give. Will I ever find any difficulty at POE as I dont have any current job? I have been visiting many times before for the past few years with no difficulty as they always ask me what I am doin in this island but now since I am unemployed I am just afraid that they think I might stay there for good? I will have the flight confirmation etc with me to proof for this ticket. i just dont want to get denied but at the same time I want to spend time with my husband before I go back to my hometown and do the process in my hometown. Also I can save money using the free ticket going home that the co give.

2. I am a lilttel bit confuse on the NVC process, do my husband/ my lawyer suppose to receive the package or they will send directly to the US Embassy. the reason is now that I am no longer in Bermuda I will do in my hometown I am just worried they send it to bermuda US consulate. My understanding is that my hubby/lawyer receive the package and we will send to teh US embassy. Please let me know..

Thank you so much!!!

regarding the first one, yes i think that you might be denied entry on a tourist visa if your I-130 has been already processed. it really depends on the embassy and even more POE officer...

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/15/2009 Sent I-130 package for CR1 to Chicago Lock Box, 01/19/2009 USCIS Chicago received the application

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/02/2009 NOA2 mailed, application approved!!!! (47 days since we mailed I-130 package)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

03/20/2009 IV Bill generated and I paid online

03/30/2009 Sent I-864 package to NVC, 03/31/2009 Sent DS-230 package to NVC

04/01/2009 IV fee shows unpaid, 04/03/2009 documents are under review (confirmed by operator)

04/06/2009 IV Fee finally shows PAID, 04/07/2009 AVR system says that IV bill has been processed, "instruction package" received by email

04/08/2009 AVR system says "NVC received your documents on April 3...", our case is under review...

04/10/2009 RFE issued for DS-230 Part I, but AOS accepted

04/14/2009 found out the exact issue with DS-230 and sent the response using Chris Parker's RFE shortcut and later in the day received an email checklist for RFE

04/15/2009 RFE response arrived to the NVC facility, 04/20/2009 RFE response received by NVC

but i have visited there few times since the past 3 years .. my last entry was last early April .. if I provide the ticket going back to my hometown I hope it should be fine.

And yes I am looking forward to spend time with my family before I stay US for goods.

Looking at my multiple entries in states maybe 12 or more since past few years I hope they know I have no intention on staying there illegally.
