Flaco Bello

I finally withdrew the petition through email and fax. I have had my closure. The truth came out and I am going back to where I wanted to be before I met her. I am still on time and ready! Good thing I found out early rather than later. Thanks everybody! Much love and peace in your respective journeys.

Ok I ve been away for some days... I need emotional recovery from this process, trying to stay away from everything related to her. Well, about canceling I already now the process... like I said above, we ve been going through blame game and make up-break up since April. I will definitely send a cancellation letter to Department of State because USCIS does not hold the case anymore. Also, (updating you guys) we texted each other and told things that were being held back before and honestly... broken, totally broken probably since the beggining... She said I never loved you... I figured out by her behavior she didnt and didnt give a damn. But you know, I am Dominican myself and I can detect Dominican trickery easily... it was a fraud. She lied to me, managed to hide it some months but could not resist to hide her true self long enough... Ufff, inhale-exhale...ahhh...all right, got it out of my system! Truth will prevail always. I am enlisting in the military and foreign influence (in this case sponsorship of an alien) isnt beneficial, definitely cancelling. I lost a lot because of her and now my enlisting could be affected. I mean... I wished this never happened. Dont regret, but I would have been in the military by now.

We had been having trust issues for months, break up and make up. I insisted but this time I am not... she said the magic words, "I do not love you and do not want to be with you". That is what I needed to hear! This is the end of a long and difficult journey. All in vain, but its all good; I learned a lot about myself and what I really wanna do. Awesome, hurtful but enriching experience. I am stronger now and ready to move on. I am the beneficiary and sacrificed a lot (no need to explain, we all had to do this so you know what I am talking about) but I have faith that God will reward my efforts at least twice. May love and trust be with all other couples. Good luck and may God approve your cases in a timely manner. Our case is closed. I am not going to be visiting the site often, so long everyone, Thanks for your support and advice.

Sincerely yours, Flaco Bello

My mistake... I am not the beneficiary... I meant to say petitioner.

How long can it take for a K1 beneficiary to begin working? I know the work authorization has to be done, but I wanna hear from experienced people who have gone through it... I am thinking about her adjustment and how we are going to live, daily routine, etc.

Yes, she said that she would not want to have me far away but that it was my decision and that if we can get together often she supports me... but her tone was not convincing. I think she held back.

People... I am in a dilemma, I want to enlist in the US Air Force and she should interview next month God willing... I know it will be hard for her to make such an adjustment... not only is she coming to USA, she will be married to an militaryman. I do not know... I wanna be there for her and do not know what could happen.

Hey people...

I filled out and signed the I134 Affidavit of Support in May and my co-sponsor too. They were both signed but not notarized. We just signed them! Well, I see people writing about notary publics and stuff; I dont remember where but I read that the Affidavit didnt need to be notarized. Does it need to be notarized for Santo Domingo? Also worried because I have a different job now and the affidavit is too old then. At least my co sponsor still has the same job and he filed with tax copies, in his case it isnt a big deal but still he signed it in May. Is that going to be a problem? Bottom line is, Affidavits are from May and they are not notarized... I dont know if I should just go on with those or have new affidavits ready in hand. Perhaps I should just go to interview and hope they dont ask and if they do that they will give us a chance to get the new ones.

Also, she said she was going to hideaway or plainly reject me if i went there...that it will be a waste of time and money... I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF I SHOULD GO THERE... I BELIEVE SURPRISING HER will reveal a genuine reaction and we ll take it from there... and maybe having me in front will soften her... we havent seen each other in three months (the longest ever for us) and the times we ve been together were just three and four day visits... maybe time together is what we are missing, jealousy and trust issues have been our "killers"... i am so confused and anxious now... every day i wonder what's going to happen... can a relationship like mine survive the process and beyond? i am doubting it now, i wasnt but i am now, she has been doubting since she changed 180 degrees... about april 22nd

Guys... I give up... enough is enough... i told her i was going to see her and she says she does not care about me nor my feelings... that i should stop calling, that seeing me is the last thing she wants in this world, thats she wants to have fun and go out and marrying me isnt happening... she is mommy and daddy's only girl and she is comfortable enough, thats she doesnt need to go anywhere and being 21 she wants to "enjoy life", i was paying her college and dropped out, she just changed 180 degrees at that point... she added that she will change the number if i dont stop calling, that she does not care about what was spent or done for the k1... i mean not even a thank you... I give up, i feel as if i ve been dragging her... i need this to be mutual support... i will just stop calling or seeing anything related to her... the consulate has the case and i am just going to ignore the situation, not stopping it but whatever... only God knows... i wont be after her to do it, because she has said that is my way to pressure her toward my possessive self... It has been all me since day one, this time if she was overwhelmed and confused and realizes her mistakes and does it amen... its going to be her decision, her burden, her loss, or whatever... i give up

I was called drama queen on VJ at times when we started struggling. I am the drama queen according to some VJs. I am already considering making plans to go to her and talk heart to heart and face to face but gotta think about work and bills. But honestly that's secondary to her. I will excuse myself at work and I am going within three weeks. That's the most genuine way to communicate.

Case sent from NVC to consulate 7/20... but there is a red flag... she is saying she is not sure... sad to see my effort go to waste and not have her full commitment at this stage, this is hard enough... i am just going to go with the flow.. drama queen again...

You know to send the original... now, make sure you make at least two (2) copies for yourrself or save the email in a separate folder to make sure you dont lose it.

How did you first find out about your NOA2? hard copy, txt, email... I wonder how I will find out, when and where? Anxious...

This is what happened. I filed on March 1st. I wrote my fiance name as Yrine instead of Irene. That is on each and every paper. But, I called to make the change. They sent me the change by mail but I wonder the papers say Yrine while on computer it says Irene... will that delay, deny or something my case? Will it confuse the official?

How long from NOA1 to NOA2? All VSC filers.... write your total number of days here... I know there are timelines and stats but some people do not update...that may be not as accurate... this gives a real feeling of whats goig on. I am counting 81 as of May 20, 2011

PLEASE UPDATE TIMELINE

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR TIMELINE...THAT GIVES EVERYONE ELSE A BETTER SENSE OF WHATS GOING ON... I WISH I COULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS BUT I AM RUNNING BEHIND YOU.

I plan on taking her on a helicopter ride...she will see everything from the air and slowly learn from places. then, we are going out with friends and we will take trains, buses, everything that exposes her to people and new places. We will also go visit family from Miami to Orlando and going to Disney, downtown Orlando, downtown Miami... Downtown is always a safe bet in any city.

Yeah friend... I super agree..no updates on the web nor text..what is up with this people? Sleeping on the job just like the Air Trafic Controllers of late.

If the text and email is supposed to calm people's stress by notifying first...why do i read about people getting the hard copy first and then the email? The text and email should be first..anyhow...what happens with those cases like mine...when people can't even find it on the page on "check your case status"? what is going on...I would like to see some progress... Not finding it is a bad sign I guess, because there have been people who cant find it who have waited over the 5 months limit... Am I correct? What were your experiences? Should I get the text, hard copy or email first? Am I ever going to be able to check the status on the page?

I have two timelines and now cannot update. I entered two email addresses for both timelines because couldnt remember the first time I did it. Now I want to keep the latest and delete the first. Can someone find me the administrator?
