We aren't there to proselytize and the fact that these Bibles were written in the native tongue proves this was the intention. We originally went to Afghanistan to get Osama but then Bush/Cheney saw oil money in Iraq and "Oooh, the money we can make there!" they thought but how to go to war in Iraq was the problem so.....why not lie and say there are weapons of mass distruction, yeah that's the ticket. Meanwhile, back in Afghanistan Osama is making a quick getaway and the American people are paying the bill for the Iraq war to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars! We had NO RIGHT to preemptively strike a sovereign nation such as Iraq it is an illegal war! Oh but you say, the world is a better place without Saddam well, than why didn't we attack Cuba or Venezuela or some of the countries in Africa if our blueprint for preemptive strikes requires that we dislike the leaders. With a user name of, "John Galt" we pretty much know where you're coming from anyway.....

Hiya all, this message is for Jeraly so she can update the thingie WE HAVE OUR INTERVIEW DATE! It's April 29th!

I was getting ready to make another call to Washington DC to ask what the problem was and got a call instead from my fiance saying he just recieved the mail with the good news. whew, can breath again.

I want to include this information for others (and save you much frustration) but if you have questions about your case and it seems like things are moving slowly calling this number in Washington DC at the National Visa Center 1-202-663-1225 with your fiance's "Case Number LND**********" plus which Embassy you are working through they are able to give you helpful information about what is going on.

I had to call today because we turned in our Packet 3 on Feb. 1st and had not heard another thing from them. This Washingtom DC number I called said we were "not qualified" because we had not sent part 2 of DS 230. The instruction did not state that part 2 was needed but we will send this happily.

I just wonder how long we would have waited to hear from London Embassy about "not qualified" had I not called the Washington DC number as it was almost 2 months since we sent packet 3 in, I'm sorry but I feel a bit angry right now.

Jeraly:

Gratzies!!!! You didn't get any updates on the website at all before you got the hard copy!?!?

Thank you, Jeraly. To be honest I hadn't checked the website in about 2 weeks (was driving me crazy to look ) so I don't know if they listed it there first before sending the NOA2, sorry.

My 16 year old brought the mail in and laid it down forgetting to tell me I had mail so I'm lucky and happy I saw it eventually (I think it was the next day ). Kids!

NOA2 dated "Dec. 3, 07 recieved in my hands!

What is this "James Shortcut" I did a search and found nothing would someone provide a link, please? thanks.

Jason-Sasha:

Who said you even have to get out of bed to begin with??

*slaps forehead* I can see I'm going to have to start thinking a bit more naughty.

Rob & Jin:

Hi everyone my names Rob, fiancee is Jin, hope everyone is doing well. It looks like it is avaraging around 110 days for Noa2 at the moment, but its creeping up more towards 120 for the may folks. i predict most people will be looking at 120 + days soon.

Sucks but nothing we can do about that, hang in there it will pass and we will all soon be with our loves.

Thanks Rob & Jin we know that only patience will do here. I think me and my fiance are probably the oldest here so I just wanna still have my teeth and walk without a cane before we start slipping downhill at the speed of light. I want to fully enjoy my sweet man you know like take quiet walks together, dinners out and then turn in each night at a respectable hour.

Great question! I got a lot out of this information myself and I'm sure others have that same feeling of limbo.

3 - If a partner needs to PROVE summat to the other, the trust is fuct.

4 - If trust is fuct, the relationship is in trouble.

5 - OP & fiancee, I hope for your sake that I'm wrong

Agreed, but I think she already has an awareness of this as painful as it may be. She has seen his disloyalty to a previous wife and this cannot escape her thoughts no matter how far back she pushes it in her mind.

I'm going to go out on a limb here. I assume your man got the case # from his NOA1 or the back of his check.

NOA1 = Have him scan you his NOA1

Check = Have him show you online the back of the check.

She'll spend the rest of her life checking and double checking his words because of previous behavior so your idea lucho is reasonable for her to do. I would also call some of the official phone numbers associated with their NOA1 (there is a phone listed on this document) and ask questions until satisfied one way or another.

Divorce of the sponsor and alien does not terminate this obligation." (With special consideration placed on the very last sentence here...)

Yeah, I think that part hit me right in the solar plexus although taken together with the whole makes one balk. No one likes to think that the love they feel now might end someday and hopefully it will not. For instance the reason we buy car insurance isn't because we plan on an accident or even consider that it would happen to us but we buy it because we know that sometimes things happen and it's best to be prepared.

It seems that this whole thing is tipped way too much in favor of one side and very little recourse for the sponsor.

I thought about that too when reading the papers. It was highly ironic that the only concern the government here has is to make sure they can nail support and financial obligations on a citizen, but the tax payer foots the bills for all the illegals who we can't stop at the border.

Agreed! Makes me so mad all I can do is cry. I think now is a good time to write that letter I've been wanting to send off to my Senator (Hillary Clinton) who said she can't understand why people are so angry about illegals and amnesty.....WELL!

I think what was giving me the jitters was reading the finer print on the Affidavit Of Support. All that talk about being sued by everybody and their brother was a bit unnerving for me. I can see where it would make the person immigrating feel more secure but I thought it does nothing to make the sponser feel ok and gives no recourse to protect yourself.

Don't worry, I'm not withdrawing my petition having had a couple of days to think it over I admit I was in a bit of a panic when I opened the thread.

I love my fiance.

Thanks for the informative and caring responses too.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question.

I may need more time before making this monumental adjustment in my life and need to know all repercussions if I withdraw the I-129F papers that I filed? Any information or help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Cool!! Pm WeeDebz and she'll add you to the online spreadsheet we have now! Make sure the date for the NOA1 is the date it was issued on the paper!!

Aww - it is soo good to see people moving forward in their journey

Thanks Jeraly, I did add the wrong date per your instruction then it should have read "July 31, 2007" rather than the date I mistakely put there that reads, "August 02, 2007". I tried to edit it but got the message that I don't have permission to edit this message

Recieved NOA1 feels kinda nice to hold it in my hands

I've been looking over other peoples timelines and I noticed that they recieved their NOA1's AND then their checks were cashed, in that order. However, for me they have cashed my check but I haven't recieved a NOA1, anyone else have this exception?

Thanks, Rick & Dixie for updating the timeline with my info

I have just called the bank and my check was cashed Aug 2, 2007 but haven't received anything official like a NOA1. Still it does feel good that they took my money means someone is handling my files. Do we get that money back if they turn us down??? lol

Sent I-129F July 23, 2007 and received at Vermont Service Center July 24, 2007.

I asked for a return receipt when I mailed it out but haven't gotten one back yet. SOOOO, I went to U.S. Post Office online website and looked up it had the arrival time and who signed for it so I printed that out. My question is this, will this be enough proof that it was recieved or should I march down to the local Post Office and ask where my return receipt is?!? All that work to make sure I cross all the "T's" and dot all the "I's" and then this little glitch !@#$%!!!

Item 10 could be written more clearly I think. It says, "Give number of certificate, date and place it was issued."

My birth certificate has 3 dates on it, the day I was born, the date it was filed (which was the day after my birth) and the date that I ordered the certified copy. I wrote down the date that I ordered the certified copy and I don't feel real confident about that.

I appreciate everyone's help though, thanks.

Thank you, Nini & Bee you have been most helpful!

Question 1:

On the I-129F item 10 asks "Give number of certficate, date and place it was issued" this is concerning my birth certificate. I see a couple of numbers and I'm not sure which one is correct anyone know where on the certificate to look for this number, please?

Question 2:

At this LINK scroll about half way down and after the number "14" you'll see this written:

*Please note, while you are allowed to submit an I-134 Affidavit of Support with the I-129F package, it is not required and the embassy may eventually request that you submit the same information again to ensure that it is still valid. Typically the I-134 Affidavit of Support will be filled out by the US Citizen and sent to the fiance(e) for the K1 interview. It is not required to be sent to the Service Center with the I-129F (and not recommended). Some Consulates require extra information to be included with the Affidavit, so you need to hang onto it until you have learned whether or not there are additional requirements. These will be listed on the OF-167 "financial support" document the fiance(e) receives from the Consulate. You can also refer questions to the newsgroup about experiences regarding the Affidavit. (Also go and look at question 4.3.1)

I thought we have to include the I-134 Affidavit of Support with the I-129F package what should I do please help, thanks.

Thank you, SWA2 for your clear and concise answers you have been most helpful.

.....back to work on this now.

Thank you kindly SWA2 and Yodrak your response is greatly appreciated.

Explanations can be in an attached letter with other supporting documents

Does "can be" mean this is at my discretion or should I absolutely attach an explanation. Forgive me for being concerned about minute matters but I want this to go smoothly. I'm aware that answering questions that are not asked can lead to more problems/delays in some cases. Thank you.

Anyone, please? I want to get this paper filled out and sent in as soon as possible. Also, from what I've read through a search here at the forum is that some people are saying that they don't include all their assets on this paper but I think that wouldn't be good to do.
