xmas visit to fiance

[seafoodman 0]

im worried and confused,ive booked a flight to visit my fiace,she was told i shouldnt visit while the petition was being processed ? so i mailed vermont and the US embassy,the embassy replied i could visit but i needed to take proof of my return to the UK,strong ties etc,vermont replied and said it cannot find the petition and asks for : EAC, ESC, or IOE fee receipt or a receipt from another USCIS office; or

. Name and date of birth of the relative or employee being petitioned for; or

. Name/Title of the application/petition that was filed (or form number) at this Center; or

. Alien registration number(s); or

. Department of State (DOS) ID number for waiver applications (Form I-612); or

. Any other information you feel will help to locate the case

it seems they cannot find the petition with my name and e mail address,so do i respond now that the embassy said its ok to visit or do i ignore their mail and visit and wait for the petition to be processed ? i wish i hadnt mailed vermont now (

thanks

The US embassy response is correct...you can visit as long as you're able to provide strong ties/proof that you will be returning to the UK. Since you're the beneficiary, your US partner would need to contact USCIS to get any information on the pending petition. Be sure to read the pinned thread, "Yes you can visit!" on how others have fared: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/67796-yes-you-can-visit/

how long ago did you send the petition? Did you give them the EAC number? You need that number in order for them to locate your case

Good Luck on your trip.

thought i would give an update on how my trip went ,maybe it will be useful for anyone else worried about visiting their fiance,i was called to the desk,asked the purpose of my visit,i said just a vacation to have xmas and new year with my fiance ( i was nervous like it was a dental appointment ),there was a bit of tapping and staring at her PC,then she asked if my fiance was travelling with me,i said no,then i was asked if we were living togethor in the UK,i said no,she asked if my fiance was an american citizen and i said yes,then it was what do i do for work ?,and do i have a return ticket,then she opened my passport and looked for a while at my previous stamps and glanced at her monitor,then she just said ok welcome to the USA and have a nice vacation,and that was it,all that worry and stress evaporated and no need for all the paperwork i took with me, i wished her a happy new year with a big grin,but no smile from her,no eye contact,maybe they dont do smiles ? i once made a joke (never again)and was told ''we dont do jokes here sir''but the holiday went great,chopping wood,romantic walks with the dog,a log burner and movies in the evenings,earning brownie points by stripping and restaining/varnishing the kitchen units and they looked like new and saved her $$$$$$$ on a new kitchen,i was a hero,the dog thought so too with all the walks by the lake! why dont they do oxo's ? or gravy granules ? but thats another topic !
