Just curious is the folks processing our paperwork are familiar with this site and whether that is seen as a plus. Although I would probably be disappointed to discover we are less than a blip on the radar.

I dont think they sit around on the clock reading VJ much, but it might be entertainment reading our OT, while they are off the clock... :devil:

This is like applying for reality shows!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

I really doubt whether they look at the site much but I am sure they have all heard of these web-sites. They might look at for a laugh once in a while.

Believe me, I would love for them to see my complaints here.. but I seriously doubt they have. I favor drafting and sending letters to officials in charge - at least someone probably reads it.

If one doesn't have a loved one in process... would you still look at this site? Most wouldn't including them. JMHO

There was a guy on here that claimed he worked for USCIS. In fact that was his ID. Sounded like he was for real but didn't hang around long.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

its been said that they do have access and at one time something came up (that was like a proof) but i dont remember the situation or when it was , like some detail that would have only been told here and they knew but i doubt they sit around and check to often or to much. But in truth anyone on here could work for them

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Well, I guess they read at times at least...it is like ratemyprofessor.com...students post and professors do not hang out there reg. but check it out every now and then... assuming that you are a manager or a supervisor and you are interested in finding out what's going on with your customers, VJ is a perfect forum for it...at least NVC seems to be managed more like a business, so it might be the case for them...
