Isn't it AWFUL!?!! :lol: It's almost put me to sleep before when I've called and am already drowsy. There are also times I happen upon the words, "Thank you for your patience" written somewhere and I hear that guy's voice! :wacko:

I hope you get a less hostile/angry/rude person than seems to be the norm today, based on the posts I've been reading. Wonder what's gotten their knickers in a twist. I mean, THEIR lives aren't on hold for something. GEESH!!

yeah, why are the call agents in NVC rude? i know they got tired also but let's change place. let's see what is more tiring answering these calls or waiting for a decision so you can finally start planning and "living" your life with your husband. (extra painful if you have a son been waiting/dreaming for so long to be with his daddy so they can wrestle the whole day). maybe these call agents don't realize that.

Thanks for your input and still studying how to deal with this. I am still confused some details, such as "Resume". In the instruction, they never specify what jobs and what professions need handing resume in. I think the only thing we can do is trying to prepare every thing, and let them decide what they want.

Quick Question:

My I130 was approved May 14 and I am still waiting for the case number. If my wife decides to move to the US with her visitors visa, can I change the case to local so she can do the interview here?

one doesn't move to the USA on a visitor's visa.

Thanks for your input and still studying how to deal with this. I am still confused some details, such as "Resume". In the instruction, they never specify what jobs and what professions need handing resume in. I think the only thing we can do is trying to prepare every thing, and let them decide what they want.

well, you might want to stick with the K-1 forum, though. This forum and topic is completely outside of what yer doing. There's one common form (the ds-230) but you only use Part I.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
