Hello everyone!! Havent been here in a while had soooo much going on. I have lots of updates... on dec 17th my fiancé had his interview it went almost perfect my fiancé says the interview it self was very easy with just about 2 or 3 questions. He also says everyone was nice. Only problem was which turned out to be a big problem was that my fiancé had brought the wrong birth certificate(there are two types here) dumb dumb mistake on our part!!!! He was told that he had passed the interview however he had to take back his passport and mail it back to them along with the birth certificate and they will stamp it and send it back. Lucky for us we found the right birth certificate on that day and even mailed it back on the same day. Due to bad weather and holidays it only arived on the 30th of Dec. Our status changed to adm. Processing for about 3 weeks then back to ready for two days then back to adm. Processing for a few more days then back to ready but with a different message and different case creation date and finally today to issued!!! So excited hoping my fiancé gets his passport this week.

Im so happy to see everyone moving on already and reunited with their loves

Update on my status: the DNA test kits were delivered to the embassy today so hopefully we can get an appointment quickly to have the test ran. Per the lab I used Jamaica normally has a very quick turn around with DNA testing so I'm going to try to remain positive. Still don't understand why they choose 2 of his 3 kids to test.

Blackcajun, I was wondering how things were going for you! You hadn't been here in awhile -- glad you're still alive . I sure hope the DNA testing can be done in quick time so you can get on with your life with your fiance! Are you guys still waiting for your interview?

Yes he was interviewed in November and received a 221g temporary denial based on paternity. He his bringing his 3 kids with him and they are making him do a DNA on 2 of them. Since thisbhappened so close to the holiday, we decided to wait until after Christmas to continue. Hopefully, it won't be much longer.

How's your visa journey coming alone?

It's coming along slowly but surely. Was interviewed on January 2, but I knew there was a problem in what I call "pre-screening" where a non-interview staffer looks through the documents to make sure everything is there. First of all, they never received the Packet 3 checklist from our lawyer, to indicate we were prepared. Then, the Affidavit of Support (I-134) was not received. So I knew right then I wasn't getting approved... plus, I brought the wrong birth certificate, but that was the least of my concerns, since there was a bigger problem of missing affidavit.

I still interviewed -- that was easy and went well -- but we had to send them the I-134. Keep in mind, we are working with a lawyer so everything should have gone well and been done right... WRONG!

Turns out our lawyer had my fiance sign the I-864 (a different affidavit for the Adjustment of Status phase) so yet another delay! We are actually going to fire our lawyer due to her incompetence (in our opinion).

Anyways, consulate has the proper forms now, just waiting on a decision. I emailed them yesterday and they said that a consular officer was working on reviewing our case and they would notify us as soon as the process is completed... and by "process is completed" I hope they mean an APPROVED case

I don't blame you for firing the lawyer. You should not have had any delays because the lawyer should everything completed properly and on time. I certain you'll get an approval within a week or two. Usually when they say a CO has it that means they are just doing some final paperwork to get it mailed out to you. Wishing you the best of luck

Woo hoo things are moving along nicely for you Nurselling. Congrats on the wedding. Thats great news about your nursing ticket. I hear you about the AOS fees.. It's almost a taste of bankruptcy LOL.

I'm just waiting in the wings for the days to tick over.. Interview in 7 days. I'm getting excited.

It's great to hear from you. Stay well.

First day back to work after my fiancee arrived. I don't want to leave him. I love having him here. My only problem is that I have a huge family and even though I introduced him to all of them the day he arrived, he was a BIG HIT. We have had to go places and do things to get him stuff he needed to adjust to the change in climate. He went from Rio where it is always summer to Michigan where winter is even more brutal than usual. The malls are not close so we've spent the last 5 days doing that and getting him a phone. It seems whenever we get home someone shows up. Our only time alone is at bedtime, I swear, I'm trying to be nice but wish my famiy would cut me a break here and just let me spend some time with him. *sigh* Of course, I am thrilled to be with him. I love waking up and seeing his face next to me. If my family wants to visit him so bad, I hope they come today and leave by 5:30 when I get out of work so I can at least spend some quiet time with him. My next three days off are booked solid. WE have to get married in the next 84 days and haven't even had a minute to start planning. I REALLY don't want to do a courthouse ceremony.

Happy to hear everyone's happy news. I hope the rest of you have your happy news SOON!!!

[sjs87 27]

I am so happy for you and your fiance, Bamellis! I am sure your whole family is really excited to meet your fiance and that is why they want to visit so often. However, you are going to have to make some boundaries with them. If they continue to bombard you and your fiance with visits, it'll become stressful & unpleasant.

You might gently say to them that you're glad that they are as happy and excited as you are about your fiance being there, but you really need to have some time with him, too. Mention you are still working to get him acclimated to his new home and surroundings, and that you'll need some time (alone) to accomplish this. Hopefully your family is understanding and give you a little bit of space

Hi VJers,

There have been plenty of views but no insight or advice as to what my situation is. When I checked my status on the CEAC website this morning, things were a little different.

For the past two weeks (Post interview), my status has said "Ready" to schedule an interview at the consulate. However, seeing as I've already had my interview, I knew that any 'case status updates', along with a new date, were just signs the consulate was working on our case.

Upon checking my CEAC status this morning, the message was somewhat different, and I am trying to figure out what it means:

Ready

Application ID or Case Number: Case Creation Date: 21-Jan-2014 Status Updated Date: 21-Jan-2014

Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days.

Does this mean that in two days time I should be able to find out whether or not the K-1 Visa has been issued? I suppose on the flipside it could also mean our visa could be denied but I really doubt that to be possible. The consulate has everything they need to make an approval for us.

Your insight will be much appreciated!

[BLAKCAJUN 25]

DNA testing appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday, January 28th at 9am. Praying for positive results and a speedy approval.
