When sending an NOIR rebuttal, it must address the specific reasons in the notice. If a bunch of random evidence is sent that does nothing to address the reasons behind the NOIR, then the ultimate decision is likely to be unfavorable.

anything and everything you have

Finally we got our visa petition approved. Glory to the Lord! One less step on our journey

THIS IS THE POST I'VE BEEN WAITING TO MAKE!!
My husband just got his visa approval today!! It feels like a second wedding day because they are finally letting my man come HOME. yes we cried!
Thank you everyone who put up with my fretting and thank you everyone who read and commented and thank you ESPECIALLY to the mainstays on this forum who always have a word of sense and advice. I won't name you because I don't want to accidentally leave anyone out, but you know who you are
Let's all be good to each other, folks. I want everyone to have this feeling of joy and relief.

unfortunately there isnothing you can do but wait, and continue to inquire. I feel your pain, my husband had AP for 10 weeks, it isn't easy to wait..

I feel hurt and annoyed as it might just be paperwork for these people but to US its our life's there messing with

A VJ addict!! Especially since I'm on the last leg of my journey, and everyone here is so helpful and makes the journey so much more fun and enjoyable. Thank you guys!
Just putting that out there!

I've had a couple of people message me so I thought I'd make a thread.
Our petition at Vermont has just been approved - in 3 months, 1 week 6 days!
I'm in disbelief, I think I've only just stopped shaking. I honestly didn't expect to hear anything for another 2 months at the earliest.
While we did send letters to our Congressman and Senators, we only did it on Friday. And according to the USPS tracking, they arrived Saturday. We haven't heard back from any of them yet, so I don't know if that affected anything or if we were just lucky.
My Fiance and I are over the moon, but I can't help feel bad for all those who have been waiting much longer than us. This system is so unfair. All I can suggest is that you contact Congressman and Senators, even if you are within processing time.

Very bad advice You need to think before you say or act....is this the right thing to do ?
OP, I know your instinct (the small voice inside of you) tells you the right things to do. Never ignore "red flags". These things happened for good reasons that you may consider. Be thankful that at least you've learned this now while still in your place. It's more difficult if you were in the US with nobody to run to. Give some more time to know her (character) better, don't worry about your visa.....if she really changed for the better then you will find it out. It's not gonna be an overnight process. She needs to show or demonstrate good change for enough time, not just by saying. If later you find her emotionally matured...then she may start filing another petition or maybe write the US embassy and other concern agencies to reinstate your visa validity, if still possible. Important is you'll have a working and loving relationship with her, then immigration stuff can start working out....for both (love) sake. Good luck and may God bless you.

Are you suggesting that he should stay with her until he gets a green card and then dump her? It highly seems like visa fraud.
If the OP got maried for love and not for the GC, like he says (and I have no reason to doubt that), he has no reason to stay with her until he gets a GC if he has no desire to stay with her any more.
I believe it is against the policies of this forum to suggest and encourage visa fraud...

This couple sounds like the closest to your volatile relationship. ( could even be you right?)

IF u still feel the Visa process is for you both, Maybe she could spend some time there in Moroccoo to see if you can work things out?

If this is the case, I suggest his wife try and contact the embassy/consulate/NVC whatever it is that she contacted and try to explain her mistake.
Regardless of the fact that they won't re-issue the visa, the least she could do is try to undo the allegations against him.
OP, honestly, I don't think being in a relationship with someone that accuses you of such a thing, and then slanders you is a good thing, but that's your decision to make.
This wasn't just a rash decision, it was an INSANE decision.
Make sure you two both spend some time together and talk about this and work through your issues before you try to move forward filing again.
You don't want to go through that happening a second time, it would DEFINITELY be a no forever if it happened again.

I'm thinking if she accused you of fraud, whether or not it's true, and they cancelled your visa, the chances of you being granted another visa with her, or with anyone else for that matter, isn't very good.

Sorry about your situation.
As far as an immigration visa is concerned, the case ended when your visa was revoked. No way to revive it.
If you want an immigration visa, your wife has to file a new I-130 and start all.

this process is extremely stressful
stressful situations bring out the true nature of the person inside
you might want to ask yourself if this really is the right kind of relationship for you.. I couldn't imagine what would happen in the future.. this claim was false - yes? what other false claims might be in your future??? abuse? adultery? green card accusations?
sorry to hear about this unfortunate situation, but better to know now than later

I am sorry you are going through this. I can't really help you with the same experience. Perhaps if she moved there for an extended period of time to develop your relationship. Sounds to me like there isn't any trust on her end. Also, not sure how much I would trust a person like her, and I am American. She doesn't sound very stable.

To anyone looking for shipping advice: Don't waste money on overnight shipping. The process is slow, and a day or two is not going to change things.

Yes its normal,
They have to put visa in your passport

We were approved today!!! So ecstatic words cant explain!!

This post appears lengthy but the actual interview with the IO took only less than 10 minutes, from the time he called my name until he told me I passed and was all set to leave.
Parking 334 E Temple St. - flat rate $8 My husband and I drove from Marina del Rey. There was heavy traffic in the last seven miles of the 110 Freeway. Security The interview schedule was at 9:45 am on 300 N Los Angeles St. We were on the security screening line for about eight minutes. When it was our turn, my husband placed his stuff on the tray but the guard noticed his sharp keychain and said that he wasn't allowed to take the particular accessory design inside the building. I made my husband memorize my interview room number and told him to meet me there. He left the building and looked for a spot to hide his keychain someplace else. I got inside the building at 8:33 am. The Long Wait I greeted the guard outside Room 8509 and he asked for my interview letter. I handed it to him and he pointed the waiting room. It was packed because most of those who were getting interviewed invited one to three family members with them. After more than an hour of sitting there, I asked the couple beside me what time their interview was. I know they were already there before we arrived. The man said his wife was scheduled at 9:45 am. Several minutes past 11 o'clock, an IO called the wife and two minutes later, my IO showed up at 11:22 am. My husband and I waited for nearly two hours! He would occasionally walk around and talk to the funny guard outside the waiting room. My husband found out the guard was born in the Philippines and he was quite entertaining. Inside Suite 8509 The IO introduced himself and told me that the lady beside him will be with us during the interview for her training but she won't be asking me questions. She's only there to observe. The three of us walked towards his office while he was holding my N-400 form. He asked if: - the name on the form is accurate and whether I intend to keep or change it - I'm still living in the same address on the file and how long I've resided there. I said yes, four months. He requested to see my passport, 10-year permanent resident card, and state ID. He made copies of those and told me to place my stuff on the table inside his room. I saw on his table a very thick file which most likely contained everything we sent starting from the I-129F. After making copies of my IDs, the IO and the lady joined me inside the room and he led the oath. We all sat and he told me my test was about to begin. What is one promise you make when you become a United States citizen? Where is the Statue of Liberty? Who is the Governor of California? Who was the First President? What movement tried to end racial discrimination? Name two national US holidays. I got the first six correct. He gave me a paper and pointed at the portion to read aloud, "Who lives in the White House?" and handed me another paper and a pen then told me to write, "The President lives in the White House." He went back to holding my N-400 form and asked: Is your name spelled correctly here? How long have you lived in your current address? - I answered four months. He then chuckled and commented, "Oh, I've already asked you that!" It made me think that the IO asked a few questions repeatedly to check if my answers were consistent. Did you bring any evidence that you are still married to your husband, such as joint bank account statements? I named some documents and he kept saying, "We already have that on your file." I told him that they only got our 2009, 2010, and 2011 tax transcripts so I bought one for 2012. I handed the 2012 tax transcripts to him. I also gave him our: - joint bank account statements from 2010 to present, reflecting all four addresses we have lived in (one for every quarter) The IO said to the lady being trained that she should look at the statements and check for changes on the balances and if there's activity, then that's a good sign. Now I'm glad I didn't redact the details of the bank statements. I would normally redact those using thick, black ink, to conceal the balances and actual account numbers. - current lease agreement (I submitted two lease agreements for previous addresses during our ROC) He didn't have a copy of our current lease. - renter's insurance policy He verified if all the details I've written on my form are accurate such as my previous addresses and employment history. I'm currrently unemployed so he asked, "How do you support yourself?" I told him the truth: my husband and I agreed that it's better if only one of us would experience work-related stress. He smiled and asked what my husband's job is. I said he's a senior software engineer. The IO nodded. More questions: Have you made trips outside the country? Yes, three times. When was the last one? In May 2012 when my husband and I visited the Philippines for the first time since I arrived in the US. He asked about my marital history and my husband's. This is both our first marriage (and hopefully the only one ever). He also asked if we are currently separated or filing for divorce. Of course not! Do you have children? Not yet. For part 10 of the N-400 form, he didn't read to me every single yes or no question. He simply picked the first two or three questions from each portion and then skipped the rest. He then gave me a paper with my name, country of birth, and address to check if everything is correct and made me sign it together with parts 13 and 14 of my N-400 form. The IO went outside the room with the lady and made copies of our joint bank statements, current lease agreement, 2012 tax transcript, and renter's insurance policy. When he came back, he said that I passed my interview and congratulated me. He handed me Form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results (it has a line that says I should take the letter to the oath ceremony). The IO told me to expect my oath letter in the mail "in a couple of months." Hopefully that was only the standard answer and my oath ceremony gets scheduled sooner! I thanked him and the lady a few times over and left. The Finale The guard saw me and said that the IO who interviewed me was the kindest person there is in the interview suite. I agree. The IO asked me very easy questions and although he wanted to see more documents, he always spoke softly without a hint of intimidation or condescension. The guard gave me advice in Filipino, "Tell your husband you didn't pass and that you have to come back in August to redo the interview." I exclaimed, "Hindi ako marunong magsinungaling!" (I don't know how lie to my husband!) The guard laughed. I returned to the waiting room and my husband was very surprised to see me. He thought the interview would run at least 30 minutes. Nevertheless, I got a hug and a kiss from him in front of strangers who tried to congratulate me. We then walked to Little Tokyo in Downtown Los Angeles and had some unagi roll, salmon, and beef noodles for lunch. Acknowledgement Special appreciation to my husband and also to the N-400 February 2013 Filers. Thank you so much!

those are not human being but beasts ,just cowards who commit such a horrible act

With all the warnings the US Embassy posts , you gotta wonder about the thought process for an American Female to seek a 'lift' in a truck anywhere in India.

Stop gang raping women! WTH?

Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven

Hi everyone,
I arrived in the US yesterday, after what seemed like an eternity, to join my husband. My POE was Newark, and I was in and out in about 10-15 minutes but there was a long queue for handing in Customs declarations forms. Everything went smoothly and I am delighted to be reunited with my husband for good, and I would like to thank everyone on VJ for posting their experiences and answering my questions, which helped tremendously on my own VJ. I tried to post a review of my POE but it's not allowing me to do this and says that I need to register first (not sure what I need to register for). Anyway, thanks again VJ and I'll be sure to come on here to help others with their VJs.
