Sooo soooo sorrryyyy for this happening to you!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible news! CEAC is showing Administrative Processing and not refused. There is hope. Maybe they decided to review it a bit more and there is hope. I spoke to people who received refusal letter and immediately "refused" showed on the website! I really hope for your miracle.

I found this. Skype histories are very much unmaintainable. Have a look at the attached file.

My computer crashed and I have a new one, BUT OMG YOU SAVED MY LIFE MY HUSBAND HAS HIS ANCIENT FATHERS COMPUTER, OMG YOU SAVED OUR LIVES, tytytytytytytyytytytytytytytyytytytytytytyytytytytytyytytytytytytytytyytytytytytytyty and TY so very much! I'll send this to my husband so he can God willing get the Skype messages on the old computer. Now for Yahoo but I'm more than grateful for this, God bless you my sweet and kind friend.

You made me smile and I haven't done that in a few days, it feels wonderful. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with what that lawyer told you about withdrawing and refling. Granted, I'm only a lay person going off what I observe and simple logic. From the way I see it, you go to all the trouble of refling with USCIS and going through the motions to another interview, the only trouble is, the previous denial is still on record and sometimes refling with extra evidence doesn't help so you still end up where you're at.

While it will probably take some time (and I will not counsel patience), approved petitions for an immigrant visa don't carry an expiration date. Once USCIS receives it back, they will have to take action (revoke outright or issue NOIR). In either case, you will see reasons and be able to rebut those reasons.

Just my own two cents, not intended as nor should be construed as legal advice.

I agree with you, when the lawyer said that to me I had a bad feeling and even if she has a great track record there is money involved so I will wait for my nephew who works for one of the top five law firms in the USA to see what he had been advised. I'll let you know and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting your thoughts. You make perfect sense and I'll post here what my nephew has to say about this.

Do you know if it's possible to send more evidence when it gets to USCIS or NVC? I'm going to have to call and see what number I'm supposed to use the Case number they gave me at USCIS or NVC's number?

OMG you just made me very dizzy and how depressing does this look.

Hello my angel, if this were to happen it would be a direct miracle from God no joke and I'm afraid to feel positive about this. Nothing and I mean nothing has gone well for us through this whole thing. It's been pure torture since day one, but God in heaven bless you for your sweet and generous heart.

I'm so paranoid, my thoughts were they want me to think there is good news then they will let the ax fall on my neck and off comes my head - again!

Hello, guys!

Me and my husband are filing our I-130 in June this year.

I wonder, if for this petition there is also a huge speed difference between Texas and California Service Centers for approvals?

I am in Maryland, btw.

Why wait til June? I made a mistake of waiting for a few months before applying. My husband wanted to wait for my mother to accept him before I applied, but nope! Its's our life and such family issues will be of no help. Apply ASAP! Trust me, it is a supe rlong process and down the road you will regret waiting to apply. I am not sure how the speed is at the service centers as of now, they were so slow before. Texas being the slowest and California being the fastest. I do not think it matters where you are residing, I mean if you initially send your application to the Chicago Office, it will be trannsfered according to their conveinenece, not theo ne closer to you. I reside in CA, but mine was transfereed to the Nebraska Service Center.

Soloenta, we are all in this together! Stay stay stay! Civilians fighting for our rights to have our spouses home!

Today's rant....I emailed embassy yesterday, and to my surprise i got a same day email response! Usually it takes 4 days - a week for a return email. So, i don't know what's going on, maybe they are catching up on their work loads? So, of course by the fast response, I thought maybe it's good news. Oh no, it was their same standard response email.... [/size]

Dear XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Embassy, Dhaka.

This is in response to your inquiry of February 24, 2015.

We completely understand your frustration in this regard. Review times vary due to factors beyond our control and we are unable to expedite or speculate about review times. We will contact the applicant as soon as the additional processing is completed. We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

We recommend that applicants not make any final departure plans until they have their visas in hand.

We hope the above information is helpful.

Sincerely,

Immigrant Visa Unit

Consular Section

Embassy of the United States

Dhaka, Bangladesh

Boy do I feel like They make us go over all these paperwork hurdles and pay all the fees, and submit all the proofs, and get the medical, and police report, have a successful interview just to end up waiting and waiting and waiting...? This is ridiculous and I'm super sick of it. I want my husband home!

I don't know if it will help or hurt us, but I also just faxed my legal release to our local Congressman and a 7 page letter with all our info. The assistant assured me that it can't hurt...so I pray to Allah that this is true. Let's see....I'm just so tired with the Embassy I really don't understand their taking so long, and I'm super mad that they get away with no accountability for their actions, or non-action I should say. I know there are a lot of us in AP and I pray for us all, and those who got denials that are unfounded. I pray for true immigration reform.

Even through all this... I still salute our flag...and Always keep Hope!

God Bless America!May we all get our ISSUEDS soon!

Yup, they will always send the same response. My husband called the customer service line, and they tell him that an email will help...pahleez

Just a thought...we all chose this for ourselves. Maybe we were clueless about how hard it would be because we are in love and see the world through rose colored glasses.I would still make the same choices and marry the same foreigner but I would hope that I would be mentally and physically stronger and more emotionally prepared for the stress that the Immigration system brings. Some people sail thru with no problems from the start and some seem to just be cursed by Murphys Law.

There are so many twists and turns in the process but for most of us the end result will be family re-unification and that is what we are all here fighting for!

If anyone takes anything out of the VJ website I hope that it is to start the process with your eyes wide open and take advantage of every morsel of advice in the guides . Read read and read some more. Continue supporting each other with kindness and information.

I for one need this thread and this website because I would have lost it by now if it had not been for every single one of you .

THANK YOU !!!

YES! I am so glad I found this forum when I started my journey. I am not as active as I used to be before, when I has started the process. Even though I am not online as often, I still come and quietly read posts and pray for you guys in my head. It is a horrible process! I do not think anyone else will understand unless they have gone through this. People tell me...just move on...get on with your life...dont be stuck on the fact that your husband isn't here...it's like...DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Glad to have a place I can come to mingle with others who know how it feels.

Also, Solenta, So Sorry that your casse is in AP. I do not write much into the forum, but I know you have applied close to the time and I have read your posts. I know that you feel very sad and mad at this point and there is nothing that will help that, no matter what anyone says or does. But still, please fight for your case, it is not fair that they have us wait for so long but you know that your case is not a fraud and you have nothing to fear, so even if they make assumptions, fight your way out of it. Put your emotions aside and think about every little thing that you can send in as evidence. I know I did! I sent in some of the stupidest things, icluding a copy of a love letter my husband had sent me. haha. Good luck, and hope you feel better!

Ok. So, I propose us to make our own youtube channel and promote it. We can make videos and discuss our problems. For those who maybe don't want to do a video of themselves, they can do just words on the screen telling their story.

We need a name for the channel. "America give me my spouse" or "Justice for all but the Legal"

What do ya'll think?

I think America Give me my Spouse is better than the other, because I am very much against pitting myself against undocumented migrants as the 'better' person.

Not to be "pitting" ourselves against anyone, but just saying what about us. The debates are always about illegal and undocumented immigrants but no concern about the rest of us who are also suffering. Sorry if you took that the wrong way.

Thank you for participating. 1 vote for "America Give Me My Spouse"

Almost sound like a game show.

If anyone else got a better title please let me know.

If you receive an NOIR, the rebuttal will be your opportunity to present evidence to that rebuts the reasons the NOIR is being sent.

Between now and the time you hear from USCIS, there will not be any opportunity to submit evidence.

Thank you, one would think if they are to make an educated decision they would want you to submit more evidence but then nothing makes sense with them. Thank you so much always with great insight.

Dearest Soloenta,

I logged in last week as saw what happened at the interview... ever since i've been trying to think of the words to say to you. Unfortunately, I have failed because I can't think of any words for the situation that you are facing. I am just so sorry.

Keep on fighting, sweetheart. I will be thinking of you.

You didn't fail my dear friend just by coming in and posting means more to me than you can ever know. Your done with this nightmare and you took the time to post. You don't need special words your actions speak louder than words. God bless you and your loved ones.
