"Anyway, I'm sorry to have kept you Mrs. throwing a tantrum, this will not happen again"
Write your posts in English or don't bother.
Rujby no one has made fun of you. It's hard to convey sarcasm over the internet with the written word.
Your post of "I'll worry about your AOS when I get my interview" is condescending and rude. You may not have meant it that way, but that is how it came across, to Shell, me and others.
We are all in the same boat, we are all trying to re-unite with our families. We are all trying to keep from getting so stressed out that we don't end up in the hospital psychiatric ward.
The best idea.. everyone apologize to each other, drop the subject and move on.
LOL yay! your packages are breaking planes!!

LOL!!! "I want a pony, and a lollipop, and a fuzzy bunny, and a rainbow!"

Done! I emailed Supervisor Sue and asked for an expedite so we can have our interview date assigned sooner! I wrote, IMO, a very convinsing letter! If there is any human bone in her body she will not be able to say no

My lunch consisted of chocolate in the car on my way to the midwife (that baby i'm carrying around has a huge thing for chocolate right now )...good thing it's almost dinner time over here. I'm starving!

Maybe try talking to him in binary

My lawyer stated that they're in the process of correcting it now and they will be resubmitting it again, she also stated that I need to be prepare for them to go back and forth with the NVC about the divorce decree, but I called my husband this morning and asked him to go back to the high courts and see if he could get something from them, he said that the lady at the court told him that she would get him another copy and put a seal on it, she informed him to pick it up in the morning do hopefully they will accept it.

IV package accepted. Awaiting decision on AOS package. :dance: Hoping for CC early next week.......

Don't worry about this! When NVC reviews a package and accept it, they very commonly issue a checklist for the other package, whether it's in the building or not.

I finally got my case number, IIN and BIN. Going to send of the choice of agent email now. Finally something is happening now.

LOL!!!! Oh Baba...that's too funny My mom is now Baba, since my sisters have started having kids. Well, ok...correction. My nephews have nicknamed her "bobby" even though they know it's "baba" lol Except Nigel, that is...he saw baby crocs in a kid's store once, knows Mom wears those, looked at me with big brown eyes and said "BABA SHOES?!" So naturally, Auntie Shell gave him baba shoes LOL

Another Haiti member got approved today, She was doing a K1

Hey,guys!We have some good news-Matt1968 was approved 2day!

Congrats on the stipend! If you try to go the re-entry permit route, keep in mind that you will also need to file for Removal of Conditions, and fly to the US to do biometrics (and possibly an interview if you have one). The cheaper option would be to cancel the interview (avoid paying visa fee) and file DCF when you are ready to move back to the US. Good luck whatever you decide.

Have to jump on the bandwagon here re: bitching about husbands. Why does it seem like most of the people on this forum are women? I was shocked to discover that until about 3 months into the I-130 process, my husband didn't even know what our USCIS case number was, even though he knew I'd been checking on our case online. He also makes fun of the number of posts I've made on these forums. I honestly think that if he had to do it all himself, we'd still be double-checking forms for the I-130!
It occurs to me sometimes that this immigration process is probably a terrible way to begin a marriage... I sometimes fantasize about letting go of the reigns entirely and just saying, "Well the rest is up to you. Check the forums if you have questions about what happens next or what phone numbers you should be calling. Good luck, honey!"

Do not under any circumstances lie, or lie by omission, you're in the computer with the I-94, the next CBP officer is going to know about it, and you're going to be grilled. Be honest, keep your answers short and to the point, and take your proof with you.
My husband had no problems what so ever until last Christmas (2010), he was taken into secondary, grilled for 45 min and missed his flight. Luckily US Air was awesome and got him on another flight with in the hour. Last summer we crossed by land at Pembina/Emerson. He was again grilled, but was not taken into secondary. They didn't give him an I-94 or take his prints, but she stamped his passport of the date he entered. She told him "Be back here when you say you will, and you won't have any problems" He made dang sure he was back on the exact date he told her!
When he flew here in January for my grandmother's funeral he had a stack of paperwork showing his ties to Canada, his NOA1, and a letter from his work. They asked for none of it. Let him through, no problems and the CBP officer even said "I'm sorry for your loss"
The morale of the story, they know who you are, they know the details of every time you have crossed, so don't try to BS them, or dodge their questions and you'll be fine!

My husband says the same thing. I want it to be perfect! No more delays, I want him home!

Government fees decreasing??? What fevered dream be this?!?
Also...
T-Minus 17 days and counting...

First everyone needs to quit comparing the K-1s to CR-1s. Total different ball game. K-1 and K-3 (mostly defunct) are non-immigrant visas. Yes, they get an approval a little quicker, yes, they get through NVC in a few days, yes, they seem to get interviews faster. Once they get here, they have three to five months more wait for their green card. Their visas are substantially more than a CR-1. CR-1's POE, have their temporary green card in their passport, get a SSN in a few days and are ready to take on their new life.
K-1 and K-3ers still live in limbo, even after everything. If they don't have their ducks in a row and have all the evidence and the I-864, it's all for nothing. They can't get a job, they can't volunteer, they can't get a driver's license in most states.. it's sit around and wait, wait, wait. Just like all of us are doing now, the only perk, they get to spend it with their significant other. How much fun would that be after six months of sitting on the couch watching the world go by. There's a reason money and jobs were invented, so you can spend 8 hours a day away from each other!
The big, bad US government isn't out to get anyone. Yes, it's a good joke of mine, but I don't think anyone employed by Uncle Sam is monitoring what I do or when I do it. When you send in that I-130 it's a ####### shoot. You go to one of two service centers. California being notoriously slow, or Vermont being faster. You don't know where you'll end up! Once there, you don't know who's desk you're going to end up on.
Suzy Q. might not be as fast at hammering out petitions as Johnny B. Or Suzy Q. has a lot of petitions from high fraud countries that take extensive work, you might be at the bottom of the pile. Johnny B. might not be even reading anything and just rubber stamping stuff as it goes through. Everyone has heard the stories about getting to the Embassy/Consulate and being denied because of something USCIS should have caught. Or even being denied at POE because everyone dropped the ball. Hell, our petition was LOST! I have no doubt we would still be in California in a USCIS black hole if it wasn't for my congressman lighting a fire under their butts. The US Government is highly inefficient, but not out to ruin someone's life just for the kicks of it.
There's probably been dozens of people over the years on VJ making spread sheets and mining data, crunching numbers to figure the system out. No one's been able to crack the holy immigration code.
Maybe some Embassies/Consulates really do stick to the first two weeks of the month rule, maybe not. Maybe there's thousands of other people all around the US and the world going through the same thing, and they have to have an appointment too... It's not just us. You have the CR-1s and IR-1s and K-1s and K-3s and HB-1s and F-1s... the list goes on. There's been people waiting for decades, years!
Ya, it's no damn fun to sit here and watch people with NOA1/NOA2/NVC dates before ours zip through the system and be with their spouses and come and tell us how grand life is. It's all sunshine and cupcakes and sprinkles! Wish you were here! It made me mad, jealous and down right pissed off when I was watching people from September go to interviews while we sat in CSC. In a perfect world it would be first come, first serve, here's your visa, have a nice day. Unfortunately we're not living in a perfect world.
There's my .2 cents on the whole thing.. take it or leave it.

woohoo 300 lol :dance: :dance:
now really going to bed

I hear ya!!! I've felt myself be a little turned off at school because i just want my hubby here with me (NOA2 wait was waaaaaaaaaay too long)... its a little better now and i'm trying to wrap up the semester the right way

If you're filing for your fiance, you filed for the wrong visa!
Are you married now? That's a CR-1. If so, you still fill out an I-864, you are the petitioner, even if you do not have income. ps referring to your spouse as a fiance and slip in front of a CO is going to raise some eyebrows.
If you're getting married it's a K-1. K-1 fills out the I-134 and then the I-864 after they are married in the US and need to adjust status.

Well,it is almost April the 1st where I am.So,the month of March has one and a half hour left...
I wish all of us who is waiting to definately get what they are waiting for next month:interviews,invoices,packages reviews and acceptance,case numbers,approvals after all!If not whole thing at least get closer ,step by step.Most of all I wish to stay patient and positive!We know why we are doing it,right?
Happy April!
