Not a bad start to the week, I guess. 2 new approvals for Monday and Byron's Leidy is getting better. Excellent news!

I see one approval from last week announced today (English Muffin). Did I miss the second one?

aynaku05 was approved 11/05 but didn't update timeline until today

Ah. Thanks! I should have known that eagle eye would have the answer. :thumbs:

Now, do you think that you could find some approvals for this week? It is a short week and we do not have any time to waste! :clock:

:lol: I am monitoring the situation very closely!! :yes:

You are right though, while 40 approvals is good, its still not good enough!! We need more, and we need 'em NOW!!!!

Guys,

I have been on cloud 9 since I received the approval. My baby received his interview date today....and wow...it's coming so fast. I can't believe it. Thank you to all in this room that have been so supportive to me and shared my times of frustration. This process looks like it will end soon and in the near future. November has proven to be a great month for VSC May filers.

hi guys,

im writing this here because most of my friends and family dont know that adriano is not in italy legally...they know he lives there and that hes albanian, but i never told them that hes there illegally because that sort of thing doesnt come up in everyday conversation...i spoke to him at lunch and i was really mad because he hadnt called me back when he told me he was going to (what a girl i am, i know)...and no matter how much i chewed him out about it, he just kept saying 'i love you, i love you, you're my life...etc'....this of course made me more mad because i thought he was just trying to sweet talk his way out of it...

so i called him a few times after lunch and his phone was off...i was getting really mad and also a little nervous...i called a zillion times and finally he answered...he was like 'i cant talk now' i said 'why?!' and he sounded all nervous he was like 'because im with the police'...all i said was 'oh nooooo, i love you' and he had to hang up...i dont know anything that has happened, and i can only assume that he is there because he has been living in italy illegally...i dont know when i will get to talk to him again, how long they will hold him for...if they lock him up or if they just send him back to albania....im so nervous and my heart is aching...

i know that people have a terrible image if illegal immigrants in their heads, but i want to make a few things clear...he is not a theif nor is he a criminal...he came to italy on a work visa which costs $4,000 to recieve and another $4,000 every time that he has to renew it (in his case it would've been every 3 months)...does that make ANY sense?!?! if one is coming to another country for work, 99% of the time it means that they have NO work in their home country....so he came to italy, overstayed his visa and never renewed it because he would be broke if he did so....he wakes up at 5 am and goes to work 6 days a week...he is a hard working and honest boy who is just trying to get by...he is my sweetheart....his heart is made of gold...i love him so freakin much and hope that we can still be together in america after this ordeal is over with...i dont know how this will affect the visa situation...of course its not IDEAL, but he was going to have his interview in albania anyway, so i PRAY that they just send him there and then everything will be ok...i dont mean to rant, and i know most people dont care about some illegal, but hes MY illegal and i want nothing more than to spend my life with him....if anyone has any ideas, please share...im trying to stay sane and i dont know who else to turn to

Hey Susie,

You know, actually one of my best friends here in NY is illegal. She came here legally but through all the red tape of trying to get a green card, is still without one after living in NY for almost a decade. I just wanted to say, sometimes these things happen, and not all people are going to make negative assumptions about illegal immigrants b/c the media would like us to.

The only advice I can give at the moment is try not to jump to the worst conclusions. I'm sure that's easier said than done, but right now you don't know what's going on with him, and there is really no point in giving yourself an ulcer thinking of all the worst things it could be. Just try to be patient until you hear from him.

Susie, Really sorry to hear about this mess. I hope it all works out in the end. If you were completely honest in your application, USCIS will no doubt know that he's been in Italy. because of his G325A form. And USCIS will no doubt know that he's been there illegally. I'm sorry to say that, but when they do a background check on his name and personal info they will find this out. He hasn't done anything illegal with the U.S. which is good, but I'm not sure how USCIS will view his history of overstaying a forgein visa. I'm sure he's a great guy with good intentions. And if the Italian authorities send him back to Albania, which they will most likely do, then he just needs to cooperate and hope that Uncle Sam doesn't ask any questions. If you do get lucky and USCIS approves your petition, then he must be prepared to answer questions about his past visas during the interview. The U.S. is getting very tough on visa abuse, I'm afraid. And that includes visas issued by other countries. But these are just my opinions. Perhaps there's a chance they won't even notice, but I kinda doubt it. Boy, i really hope everything goes good for you. Good luck! And I also hope you hear from him soon to know that he's ok. I know that must be your biggest concern right now. Keep us posted.....
