ha! I love it. I wish they did more lead up in the beginning regarding the process. Showing the couples when they come to the US really doesn't illustrate the process of everything. I understand that it would be pretty boring if all the couples had TSC and waited for 5/6months for their NOA2, but at least the show could show the front end stuff we deal with. A lot of my friends want me to apply, but we have such little drama that we'd bore the viewers.

Like Romet said - I try not to judge. Some of them (who will remain unnamed) really shock me how they got approved at the Embassy, but I guess that gives me hope. I always tell my fiancé, "if this person from 90 day fiancé was approved, I don't know how we can't!" :)

I totally agree! A lot of my sorority sisters said the same thing lol however, this process makes me too emotional and stressed out to be on TV lol . Though as many have said I question how some couples gotta by with such a breeze .Even though the show calms me and my fiance down because I'm like " Baby , if some of these couples can get , I know we better have ours with no problems lol."

I'm going to have to watch this show now!

Just binge watched the entire season one. Editing adds a lot of drama to it. All 4 cases are fairly strange compared to most that I've seen on the website.

Entertaining nonetheless. Happy to hear you made it safely to the states Pheebs.

My fiance watched the first season and has been watching season two from the beginning... I only watched this season...

And on season 2 I only think ONE couple should marry.... LOLOLOL... Which isn't fair or cool either cause I really don't know anything about their relationships but what they WANT us to see...

Yes I agree its not hard to judge . However, I wish they would show the process from start to finish . Some people seriously dont understand the emotional stress of it all. l really want to know how long was there process.

Yes... I've told my fiance.. what I think is disingenuous about the show is once people get to the states you've already gone through 6 months to a year of stress trying to just GET the visa. PLUS.. we're kinda sorta ALREADY planning our wedding... I mean... at least fundamentals... Of course we can't set anything in stone cause we have no clue when the visa will be issued, but we're still planning. lolol

They make it seem like these people just meet and get the visa and in 90 days they need to marry.... that's just not true in MOST cases...

HAHAHHAA!!! No worries.... Although I think Amy and Danny are VERY young.. I think they are okay.. Yes.. they have the racial thing going, but people do NOT really think like Danny's dad... or not really anyway.... I think they'll be just fine...

Hmm I think it could be up to five months in that case :( I'm not quite sure how touches work as it didn't really happen in our situation.

I hope it goes speedily for you though. :yes:

It's going well thank you, I'm quiet jet lagged but that's what eight hour time difference does to you I guess! :lol:

Hi,

I send my in 11/26, got an electronic NOA1 on 12/4 and a hard copy of NOA1 on 12/8. So I am waiting for NOA2

From what I've see of many ppl case, the timeline from NOA1 to NOA 2 is about 3 months. How did you get your NOA2 in only 4 days?? That's amazingly fast, what kind of magic dust did u sprinkle on your 129f form LOL.

11/25/2014 I-129f mailed to Dallas Lockbox

12/04/2014 Receipt NOA 1 via email

12/10/2014 Receipt hard copy NOA 1

12/24/2014 Receipt NOA 2 via checking website

12/26/2014 Receipt hard copy NOA 2

01/20/2014 On hold for ONLY 30 min, got our case# MTL 1234....

02/10/2014 Called NVC (4 times in 3weeks) no update. Checked website in afternoon, IN TRANSIT?!!

02/11/2014 READY. After 21 days of no activity our status magically jumped 2 levels in less than 24hr.

Emailed MONTREAL-IV-DV@STATE.GOV requested further communication via email.

02/17/2014 Got an email response from MTL "Your file is being reviewed. We soon provide you instructions."

03/04/2014 Submitted multiple inquiries with no response! Tired of waiting around, so emailed in Packet 3 with copy of student visa.

03/09/2014 CEAC Status Date changed AGAIN to today. Hope this mean we'll be getting Packet 4 soon.

03/11/2014 GOT PACKET 4! CEAC Status Date changed.

04/17/2014 Interview appointment.
