Jon and Yulia

This is terrible situation, i am so sorry for you. But I can't fugure it out, how people can be so cynical and cruel, using human being to get into country, then run to another man...if things written here were true. Why no one thinks, what if something bad happened to girl...crime, accidence, serious health problems... maybe i am too naive.

Any way, be careful, i would infrom USCIS or some other immigration organisation about your situation.

This is pure wisdom, the stuff of much marital counseling. I remind myself always that my Yulia is leaving everything she is comfortable with to come be with me. I am her comfort now and her help in adjusting to American culture. Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone for your help. I went with the 4 hour layover at JFK, and on Feb 14 I will get the best Valentine's present of my life.

This board has been so helpful.

Yulia just past her interview for the K-1 in Moscow today!! It lasted all of 3 minutes. We are so excited.

So, I am buying her ticket here now (for about one month from now) and have a question. She will layover at JFK before coming on to Atlanta. Will this be her POE? I am asking because I have a choice between a 2 hour layover and a 4 hour layover. Will Atlanta be the place where she presents packet and visa for entry, or do I need to leave her plenty of time in JFK for that?

Thanks.

A very happy Jonathan)

I am planning and waiting the arrival of my fiance sometime in late Jan or early Feb. Our original plan was to marry immediately after she got here, perhaps the next day. (Just the legal procedure, we will do a formal wedding later).

Will this cause a problem when we apply for our Social Security number? Should we wait until after we apply for the marriage, then do a name change? In terms of an immediate wedding, I am thinking about last name issues (it will be different than on her visa, POE card, etc)

Any ideas here? Thanks

Thanks to everyone!

Joonphon, I called them for a service request and got our NOA2 within a few business days. Don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

Jon

I have to admit, I've been jealous of you all who got approved so fast with your NOA2. We applied mid May. Well, we just got our NOA2 approved today!!!! It was like that feeling you get as a child at Christmas. We are so happy!! My baby is coming to me.

The only thing is, I feel bad for all the men of Russia. I am taking the most beautiful girl in that country away from there!

I love you so much my dear Yulia.

Jonathan

We got our NOA1 a few weeks before you did, and still nothing. We filed a service request, had our Senator write Vermont, and have called several times. Vermont responded to Senator the same way they did to us-- status is pending.

I think all we can do is wait. Let us know how things go.

Jon and Yulia

I am truly happy for July petitioners who've got approved, but I just don't understand the mysterious ways of VSC. We filed in mid May, and when I called USCIS they tell us not to expect approval for another 2 months, that they are only now approving those sent on March 15! Our petition was orderly, pristine and no RFEs. This is so taxing on our nerves....

Jon and Yulia, waiting patiently

What I don't understand is why there are so many people who are in the VSC queue that are June/July filers who are getting approved in 90-100 days. Yet VSC say they are doing March...How does that work?

No one knows, except USCIS workers...wierd...
