Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[amrssnowangel 0]

I will be with him for.....2 weeks this trip. Then I will return for his interview and then to go get him and come home with him. We needed to break up the wait. We've been together now like this 4 years with only a yearly visit. It took a toll on our relationship as the stress of the long distance got to us. But we are stronger than ever and just over protective of our time and visits. Add in PMS and we have a recipe for hormonal surges that produce un needed tears...LOL...

Anyways....I know he works hard to keep the connections going..and we are always finding creative ways to touch. (He keeps dial up as a back up). I know what you mean about out in no where. I am to sort of. We just in the last year got dial up. Satelite net was ok...but expensive. I use vonage for my phone but because we live between Richmind VA and WAshington DC we still have good services. Alhamdolellah.

I wish you well in those hard times. I understand the frustration. I'm ok with the wait for the NOA2 its the lack of movement that kills me...

GROUP HUGGGGGGGGG

I know, I would just love a TOUCH. At least it would show something, I haven't had any movement since I got my NOA1.

Dial up as a backup is a really good idea, especially if his DSL goes out all the time.

Come on people, go to your mailboxes and bring back those NOA2's . I want some good news.

AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!! So close

Oh well, moving from number 12 to number to number 11 on your list is still more forward motion than we're getting with USCIS.

Progress is progress.......

Bzoom,

Please add me to the list.

This process is some serious Bulls***!!!! Really, I am soooooooooooo disgusted with USCIS and their cohorts--> these embassies under DOS. They really couldn't care less about us; we are nothing but nameless, faceless numbers to these people.

I really don't understand why we don't organize and protest or something. If the H1-B visa people can get action, why can't we? More and more delays, lies and needless red tape. You need a friggin' degree to navigate the immigration maze....dot your 'i's and cross your 't's and still you may get tripped up....and by 'tripping' us up, do they realize they forever alter the course of our lives? No humanity and no compassion....just the facts, the rules, policy and regulation. Okay, now they are charging more money for substandard services and we have no choice but to pay them and wait?

I am so ready to leave the U.S. and make a life elsewhere. Yes, I know, I know-->"the grass is always greener.......". Someone please talk some sense into me.

i dont have as much experience dealing with the 'system' as you do, but i would like to think that your situation is the exception, not the rule...i hope so at least...you have to keep your head up and hope for the best...maybe in a few months, your opinion will change because you have finally, finally, finallllllllly been approved...think positive and positive things will happen...worst case scenario, you get denied again and go to albania to live with your honey...thats not so bad, is it?

i know that it has been incredibley hard and you have spent soooooooooo much time dealing with this, and it is unfortunate for you, because your relationship is genuine...i really do hope that things work out for you in the best way possible...if that means that you will both live in albania, then so be it

I don't blame you for being burned out on the process, once through it is bad enough! It seems unfair to me that apparently they dropped everything (our petitions) for these H1B visas. Should be first come, first served, but businesses come first nowadays ($$$).

FYI, not sure who your senator is, but I wrote an email to Senator Cardin (i live near baltimore) about my first come, first served idea and he wrote a nice letter offering to look into my petition. Maybe you could try that as it sounds like you have run into some serious red tape.

BabyBlue, thank you very much for your support. I am at my wits end. Every waking moment I spend researching and appealing to every agency, person, entity anyone who will hear our pleas. I am soooooo burned out, depressed and stressed I need to take a leave of absence to go to Albania to relieve the pain of the separation from my fiance. I've exhausted my savings on travel and attorney fees. My last resort is to sell off all my belongings, pay off most of my debt and move to Albania. It's crazy and I don't want to do that. I can't work there, heck, there are sooooo many Albanians who can't find work. I don't even want to get into the personal and physical toll this has taken on my fiance (out of respect) who sits there in Albania with nothing to do but wait for this infuriating system and repeatedly ask me to come there. It's heartbreaking!!!! When I think about it, yes, I'll leave everything I have behind in the U.S. to be with the one I love (my elderly parents, my job, excellent medical care and political freedom-->or so I thought). What are 'things' if you can't share your life with the person you love, you know? I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, seriously!!!! I so hope you don't have any problems with your petition and from what I'm reading-->you are on top of your game so, "bless you".

Virgillionare,

I have contacted 2 senators and 1 representative. They say they will help and they make inquiries on your behalf, but they were not successful in keeping our 1st petition from being returned and they can not speed up the review of that case, which now languishes on the desk of some adjudicator who might get to it in one year or so. I so hoped this second petition would be approved quite quickly with all of the evidence I provided this time around....our first one was approved by USCIS in 12 days!!!!! With this H1B visa business, we are all in for a lot longer wait than I every expected. I'm trudging on but I'm afraid the writing is on the wall, for me at least. Life is so short, you know? I could get hit by a bus or my plane go down and this precious little time we have is wasted....... and we all know once today is gone, you can NEVER get it back.

Thanks again for your support!!!!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

just found this thread, and the wonderful Lists!! may I add my thanks, bszoom, for making the lists, AND maintaining them even after you've received your NOA2... hope you're able to continue to do so

and I hope I'm on the next one! we filed on July 18 (and yes, my timeline's as up to date as I can make it... and showing an approval date of October 14 )

even though my fiance lives in Texas we filed directly with Vermont, as per the changes... I thought we'd had a lucky break, getting sent to the 'quick' service centre, but reading this thread perhaps not... still, it was fun to read through it this morning and see all the progress so far, and people's sadness turning to happiness as those blessed bits of paper came along!

all the very best to fellow Vermont filers; may our journeys be swift and smooth, and our approvals fast!

xx

Just got back from a very short but well needed trip from Ghana.

I was reading all the posts: Congratulations to everyone who has gotten approved!!!

The rest of us are around the corner

i am so sorry to see you so upset. you have obviously been through the wringer, and have held up

your head and struggled the best you could. surely this will be resolved and everything that needs

to happen will happen.

sometimes it's really hard for me not to be bitter about everything while going through this process.

i have to work really hard to remember that others are suffering for a variety of reasons in the world

and that in the big picture i am lucky to have found someone i love this much, period.

maybe we need mantras that bring to our minds the sensation of this love we have.

something that doesn't just spark a remeberance of past moments, but really celebrates the

entire experience, and the reality that our fiances are out there in this world with us.

it is true! no government process or agency can take this from us. the very fact that you are

willing to change your life for this love you feel is a testiment to this! and how amazing this love

must be to fill us up so wholy with purpose and focus.

(hmmm this is reading like a sermon,

but honestly, this is how i feel... )

Best of luck!

[bszoom42 0]

hey you guys forgot me My packet was received by vsc 5/1/07 and I'm still waiting, good luck everyone, I just found this thread very nice!

Welcome to the thread madmcc22555. You are on the latest list, #8 on the K1s pending. You weren't in the prior lists because your timeline wasn't updated when those lists were posted.

Best of luck!

[amrssnowangel 0]

I don't move...not one inch. I know we haven't waited nearly as long as some...but it's frustrating to see that VSC isn't moving on K1's. What are they doing? We had ONE good week and not last week and this week nothing. Im worried this process is going to take ALOT longer than I even imagined. :crying:
