I really appreciate your post and everyone who encouraged @Mr & Mrs T during this difficult time. Not everyone is experimenting the same thing. My husband filed in December 2017 when he was green card holder and he was naturalised in August 2019 . We got approved in September. In addition my son was under my petition as a derivative. However because we have upgraded our file to US Citizen, they have asked for a separate petition for my son. Now I will have to immigrate without my son . This has been so difficult for me and even explaining to my son who was excited to travel with me. The worst part is that my son’s file has been sent to Nebraska Service Center😭😭😭😭😭. Not everyone is having a great experience. You are definitely not alone. Tiens bon ca iras, essaye juste d’etre patient. Thank you for all your post. Congrats to all the DQ today.

Sorry to hear about your son! Mine left to go to back home Feb 12, 2019 expecting that we would join about 4-6 months later. I hope his process goes quickly and you won’t be separated long!!

Hey guys I have a question. Once NVC schudules the appointment and send the email with interview details do we have to call the nvc to confirm the appointment time and date.

Submitted Dec 13th, 2019

DQ Jan 21st, 2020

 

I'm happy cause we're one step closer, but my embassy (Juarez, MX) is seriously backlogged, and they are assigning interview dates for DQ Feb/March 2019, so I'm gonna be waiting at least 10 months to hear from NVC again. 

Hope this last piece of info will make you guys not resent me 😓

 

Truly really wish you all success and who knows we might run into each other in the US at some point

 

You all can PM me anytime, I'd be happy to help and I'll be around.

 

Congrats! how do you know your embassy is backlogged? where do you check? Thank you!

No, just make sure you have your medical done ahead of time and bring the necessary documents to your interview

Congratulations. Sorry for the backlog at Juarez. Hopefully both you and your spouse live close enough to allow frequent visits. 

 

Best wishes.

We withdrew our K1 petition in 2018 - submitted Sept 2017 when they were taking forever for K1 and our case was stuck in California. Similar, but not as bad as Nebraska. We got married in with the just the paperwork here. (Similar to a courthouse wedding)  No big wedding/reception. We were both completely exhausted from the dumb immigration process or lack there of and the entire issue with my son being newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (and all the stress that comes with no endocrinologists or doctors trained in juvenile diabetes in his entire country!) After a few months, the company that I work for sent me a notice that they weren’t able to accept my decision to stay here and they requested again that I go back or they would have to replace me. We hired an attorney because of the withdrawn K1. I thought it would be necessary to overcome the complication.

 

Then the disaster of Nebraska struck with our petition and here we are sitting at 2 months (after waiting since September to submit all the documents because police certificates in Cambodia expire after 3 months so we had to wait another month for the new certificate and a month for the attorney to actually work on our case) waiting for the review of our documents and the police certificate is going to expire again on Feb 3. 
 

Why do I say this? I’m saying it because so many of us are going through the same or similar hell and we end up only looking at the ones that somehow get to go faster than everyone else. Nobody knows why certain petitions seem to get special treatment.
 

This site is sort of like social media, everyone posts when they have something exciting to say and not necessarily when things are difficult. I had to take a break from this site last year because it was becoming overwhelming. 
 

I regret pulling our last petition, but I can’t say that pulling it again hasn’t been in my mind. I’m completely beaten by this process and it makes talking with my husband very difficult we have so many plans and ideas for our life and reuniting with my son, but we can’t do anything but sit and wait for our lives to pass in front of us. We save money and don’t spend much because we will leave it all behind if we get approved, so life is just a prison right now. 
 

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this frustration, stress and anxiety, but know that you are far from alone! 

Thank you for sharing your story! Yesterday, I was ashamed to post my doubts and mistakes here. But this site that helped me a lot to get here has to contain also the stories that were not so easy and simple so that we can all learn about the process, feelings and empathy. I was very lucky to have my process approved at USCIS in only 3 months but I was not prepared to face the NVC and this cost me time and anxiety. Seeing stories like yours gives me more strength and courage to move forward. Fortunately my husband comes in April for his first vacation at his American job and after that, we are not expected to meet again soon. Only those who are going through this process know how frustrating and heavy it is.

May we always have people here willing to support, no matter what.

Count on me!

We will make it.

🙏🙏
