You feel discrimination...Free advice Take a flight back home ... USCIS will and should take as long as it wants to do a background check on people coming from hostile countries like the other member said.

I fully support taking time to perform full and complete background check on people coming from countries openly hostile to United Stated. It is not a discrimination, it is purely common sense. Recent and not so recent history supports it as well, so I am not sure why anybody would expect anything different.
And give OPs comments here, he isn't in love with the country either. If I was "a guest" to a country I wasn't born it, I would at least try to have some minimal respect for it, but not everyone is being raised this way...

I applied for an extension in 2011 and was approved. Never used an attorney.

Congrats man....

Guys finally my visa is issued. In fact I was handed it today along with the yellow envelope at the embassy today. Thank you Dwheels76 and Saylin. If people read my post I had gone for my Interview on the 8th of the month. My visa category is IB1 (VAWA). The CO interviewed me and after the Interview handed over a white slip with the box ticked administrative processing. She also returned my passport. However yesterday my status changed to Issued. Minutes later I got a call from the embassy to come there with my passport. I was at the embassy today and the person asked me to wait for 10 minutes. Finally he called my name and gave me my passport with the visa and the yellow paper. I am so happy and thankful to god that my ordeal is coming to an end. I want to thank everyone here and the site. Thank you

I also wonder what the date (24 jun 2013) means. I know for sure that its not the I-130 NOA1 because my noa1 is aug 2013. So I think all the P4 email that NVC send have that date. Its funny coz when I receive'd my P4 just 3 wks ago, I was a bit dissapointed because I thought its the date of my husband's schedule for the interview. I didn't even pay attention to the year 2013. I just noticed the 24 june, so I felt sad thinking that my husband and I have no chance to be together on our 1st wedding anniversary on June 1 hahaha. But I was so happy when I read the letter and found out the interview is April 3 instead.

..
that's why I didn't take my joke that long.
Just trying to make myself happy and others too.
Also, beware all VJ members it's April fools day tomorrow.

I hope I get an interview schedule early today - or even today. So hard to focus on work when all I am doing to checking VJ and my emails

Well that dang NVC I guess they are holdin out until Monday last day of month to start scheduling May interviews. As you see the March Case completes went off the wall. Its been a while since I seen a month like this.
So hang on people good news this week. So rest up and get ready.
Also newly added a new category of VisaIB-1. So welcome Thisislife. wooo whoooo. Welcome and Congratulations on case complete.

When I filed for my VAWA in 2012 it took 13 months to get approved. But now the processing time has reduced to 5 months. This helps People like us a lot to move out of the fear and enter a new phase of our life.

I don't even listen to it anymore. I cut them off and tell them that it has nothing to do with me, my husband is coming in legally.
Them: "Oh yeah, then you should totally hate those line jumpers!"
Me: Um, no. I completely understand why they do it. I've been without my husband for over a year. But that's neither here nor there because legal immigration has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
Them: "But... But..."
Me: No, now you stop talking. You have no idea what you're talking about, and you're trying to tell me, who has been going through it for over a year, how it works. You have no &^%%$#%@$ clue. So now you shut up. Unless you have something profound and helpful to tell me about the LEGAL process, I don't want to hear a goddamn thing you have to say about immigration. Go be xenophobic and racist somewhere else.
Understand, I'd come to expect that behavior in the Netherlands. I was subjected to that ####### on a daily basis. I've had the most vile and obnoxious comments thrown my way because I have dark hair and eyes, and I can get tan instead of burning to a crisp in the sun. I expected better of people in NJ. (Especially people in my own family. If I hear that my husband doesn't count as an immigrant because he's a white, red-head who speaks English one more time, I'm going to seriously lose it on a cousin or two of mine.) Being subjected to those kinds of attitude is terrible and depressing and dehumanizing, and I will not subject anyone else to it nor let it pass by unchallenged in my presence.

Lol...my visa category is IB1 (VAWA) and my AOS is only one page as 8 file I 864w. That's the secret..

Which embassy are you going thru?

Case Complete....just got off the phone with NVC.... My case was completed yesterday...I am so happy....
Saylin i don't know if I can be added to the case complete sheet as my Visa Category is IB1. I personally thank you for putting up an excellent guide on this forum for the NVC stage which helped my fire my attorney and complete this stage. A very thank you to all the other VJ members as well...

Please explain when you make a statement like this ' self serving liars'? As per your post you had come across only one single person on this forum who wanted to return home and was looking for help. That is why your percentage is 99.97% or else it would have been 100%? How did you find about Visa Journey? This is the 21st century and people surf web... When you have some problem what do you do? Search the web.... If USCIS was just approving all VAWA petitions with closed eyes then I believe the approval percentage will be 100% but that's not the case. I don't understand why do people have issues with immigrants who file for VAWA?

Hi I am a man and also a VAWA beneficiary. Whatever you have said is not correct. I didn't stay in the US once I filed for VAWA. Also I filed my application before my GC card. What makes you feel that the abuse is not real? Do you understand how difficult is to live with someone who abuses or humiliates you every day? A person who takes all your hard earned money and you can't even ask a question. Try doing it once and then tell me how did your husband or wife reacts to it?
I left the country and I am still waiting for the case to get completed. Do you think people get pleasure sitting in there home and not doing anything? Don't just assume someone's life by saying most of them are already back in their home country. How sure are you that it's only the beneficiary playing with the petitioners emotion and not vice versa? Also it took 13 months for my VAWA approval forget about the time before I waited on my I130.
