  1. Igor has I separated in Jan. 2013 and he returned to Macedonia. I have not filed anything else with immigration. Not sure if I have to.

  2. Igor has a job! He's been working for a little bit more than a month and he's doing well! Things are looking up for us. We're very happy.

  3. We're doing good here but Igor is still NOT working. It is very hard. We're trying everything we can. He is excelling so much in his English class that the teacher wants him to join the advanced class now. That's great. He completed his warehouse training and all forklift certifications! :) Gotta keep trying. Don't forget those English classes! You really need it. It helps alot. Just have patience with everything else. Something will work out soon :)

  4. Igor has been attending English classes for about 2 months but he's still looking for work. It's very difficult. He just passed his driving permit test so he'll get his license soon :D Still needs a job though :(

  5. Hi. How have things been since hubby came? Work yet? Any problems? Keep us updated :D and Good luck

  6. Igor is still looking for a job :( It is very difficult but I'm certain something will come soon. There aren't any Macedonian communities in San Diego, only in Los Angeles and that's a bit too far for us :(

  7. Apparently, we just need Igor's green card in order for him to start working. He's been looking for a job but nothing good so far. I was told that the green card is considered a work permit. The letter from social security clearly states that he can legally work here but needs the green card. Any info or advice? Is the wrong info? Thanks

      He needs either the EAD or GC to be able to work.

      He didn't come on a K1 visa but on a IR1/CR1! So yeah, wrong info, he can work as soon as he enters into the US. The visa + stamp in his passport act as temporary green card.

      Thank you so much! This helps alot! We will start looking again for work :)

      His interview was at 11am and the officer told him to return at 4:30 to pick up his passport with the Visa in it :)

  9. Igor had his interview this morning and they said NO. They claim that I dont make enough to support him but according to their poverty guidelines, I can support a family of 8 but we must get a Co Sponsor :( They asked him many many questions about many things. We have to prove our relationship as well since I have been married before.

      He was interviewed by 3 different people. All asking many questions. He answered all of the questions correctly with confidence and consistency but now they want this. This sucks. They have no idea what this set back has done to us.

      try to have everything ready, from the money to paperworks, the choice of agent all that... and always double check everything you send in so you dont get RFE "missing documents".. Good Luck :)

      Everything is ready to go. Just waiting on case#. :D

  17. Just waiting for the next stage. Its very hard but we know its best to stay strong and not break down. We video for hours every day! Just cant get enough of eachoher!

  18. Is there anything to do between the NOA1 and NOA2 or is it just to sit and wait?

      Not much you can do. One thing we did was get his passport photos taken for the interview stage. Gathering any additional evidence of an ongoing relationship, if needed. And you can make copies of the 129F package to send your fiance.

  19. Received official NOA1 letter today in the mail. :D

  20. Congrats on such a speedy process!! This gives us a bit more faith in the system. :D

  21. Ive been reading about the long wait times :(.. Thanks. Good luck to you too!! :)

  22. Received email and text today that I-130 has been received. :) When do I pay for NOA fees and how much? My case has been transfered to the California Service Center. :)

  23. Thanks Sashiku01!

  24. We are brand new to this site. I just filed the I-130 last week. Any advice on the next steps would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
