@Swissmiss82 you still haven’t received the case number from NvC? I’m sorry

nope - nothing.... 

 

so i hope whoever reads this and feels i'm negative and should give NVC more time, 

will NOW understand why i'm past frustrated after having the file there for 15 days, and seeing others

have NOA2 10-12 days after me, and currently seeing their case got to the embassy already and they already planned 

medical and embassy appointments.. i feel i have the right to be pissed and upset...

 

but yeah... as always - nothing i can do at this point so it is what it is.....

The signing of the DS-160 is a very gray area as to what are the consequences if the Petitioner were to sign instead of the Beneficiary. I am not sure how they would know unless they have a underlying way of capturing the IP address that allows them to know what country it was signed in. 

 

Most applicants work together on the form. Pet is the one who fills in the document along with the Ben and once completed it's saved and then accessed by the Ben and signed. Once it is signed then it is available to print.  

@Greenbaum plz concerning the filling of DS 160 form, can unemployment affect the outcome of the visa process since I am presently  unemployed.  I am the beneficiary

 I am a Nigerian. What do I do?  Thanks

Are you between jobs with a small window of unemployment? Do you have any type of degree such as engineering, scientist or Doctor to name a few, that would more than likely lead to a job shortly? If not then I would recommend a sponsor but keep in mind the Embassy is not required to except one.

 

A sponsor should be close relative like parents or a sibling. https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/affidavit-support

A lot of people are unemployed now! I think I heard some folks say they had to give their job 3 months notice. My fiancé is unemployed as of last summer and since we were doing this process , he couldn't re sign his contract. Morocco hires based on 6 months or 1 year sometimes even 2 year contracts and he couldn't sign something not knowing when we'd hear back. He filled out his last job first and I believe his 6 years of school before that. If this helps you at all...

Thanks dear.

it is frustating to see people that filed behind you go way faster than you, but once you get a case number...it'll go really quick.

i am not jealous of people getting it, i'm just upset and mad they don't have a proper system with replies that 

can give u an answer on why something may take longer or whatever...

 

i am happy for each person that gets to be with their loved ones ASAP. this 7-8 month wait for everybody is crazy.

and i'm happy for whoever gets their number quick.

just saying it's not acceptable to keep hearing the sentence "it can take up to 8 weeks blablabla" ####### when we know and

have confirmation of soo many vj'ers that they got it sometimes the same day. 

then give me a reason WHY ours is stuck, if you received 15 days ago. tell me you lost something, or the embassy has

different requirements or something!

no as the petitioner is the responsible for the beneficiary so if you are not working it won't affect

Sorry. I had a senior moment as I didn't see that you were the Beneficiary. There is no requirement that the beneficiary be employed. So you are good to go.

OK. Thanks a lot. In DS 160 form you are required to give an explanation if you choose unemployed as an answer to the question on 'present Education/Employement'.What do you think?

Answer the question truthfully and explain why you are unemployed. There can many answers but none of the answers are going to disqualify you. So put down the reason.

I hear you- it’s how I feel when I read that people get ‘in transit’ the same day as they get their case numbers. And here I am 12 days after a case number has been assigned and nothing. I’m feeling pissy and punchy because everyone says “fasten your seatbelts it goes really fast once you have a case number” but for me that isn’t that case.

Ugh - sorry for my last post. I’m actually in a fairly horrible place right now. I have been in the UK visiting Stuart and my mom and dad and on Friday my mom had a massive subarachnoid  brain hemorrhage and following emergency brain surgery is now on life support in the neuro ICU . I have extended my stay to help my dad and all my sisters are here but I have to go back the the US and my own children, my job etc  at some point. I don’t want to go back when we have no idea what is going to happen to my mama. And I don’t  want to leave Stuart who is the only one stopping me from falling apart.  So sorry for my negativity, all I want is for my mama to get better and for her to be able to come to my wedding but now that might never be a possibility.

I know your "pain". When my previous wife was diagnosed with breast cancer she was given 6 months to a year to live. That woman never gave up. She extended her life for 5 years till her death. I was left with her memory and three children; twins girls at 9 yo and a son 11. I had many of the same thoughts you are experiencing. We all face battles and set backs in life. That's a given. But what we don't realize is that there are a lot of people depending on us. Yes that includes YOU! Besides your mother, your father, your siblings, your children and Stuart. You need to take the lead and be strong. Work with Stuart on a plan. What can he do in your absence. What can you do from the USA. Then set your team up to help. Involve friends, church members, your minister and your mother's minster. Everyone needs to be rowing the boat in the right direction. If everyone is rowing in the right direct and at the right cadance you'll get through this.

 

Right now just forget about your visa for now. Let visa things fall into place and they will. You can't hurry the Government. 

 

My thoughts are with you.
