Has she met your family? Do you have pics of the two of you with your family? Just a thought.

I hope something good comes from it. Think positive. Best wishes.

Im an August I-130 filer my NOA1 date is Aug 19, 2015. Im hopeing to get my NOA2 soon this process is so stressfull I miss my husband so much. Prayers for everyone in this journey, I'll keep yall posted.

You and I filed about a day apart from each other. Which service center is processing yours? I still haven't heard anything. Have you?

Hello People,

Just cant trust my eyes.

I just found out that I got approved yesterday.

Priority date Sep 2nd

Approved Jan 26th 2016.

Hurreyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!

Did you find out by a text or email ?

I am an August I-30 filer and am being processed at Nebraska. Since Nebraska has been approving petitions in about 5 months I expect to hear something any day now. An NOA2 hopefully. I will post when I receive it. Best wishes for all of us.

I've been hearing that Nebraska is processing I-30's in about five months. Our five months were up Jan 18 (yeah, Aug 18 filers/Nebraska). I haven't heard anything from them yet. I'm so excited and nervous and scared. I'm wondering if they could possibly issue a RFE this far into it. And why when I go to "check my status" does it still say "We received your petition on Aug 18 blah, blah, blah..." Is there a more accurate site? This is nerve racking. We were denied at the I-29 fiancé interview and I want this to go quickly yet as we get closer and closer to interview time I get anxiety and am so fearful because of our first disappointing experience.

I'm æ August filer (aug 18) Nebraska. I see the approvals rolling in. I feel like we could get our NOA2 any day now. I'm so excited.

I know right!! My such a blessing☺️.... Now the wait for case to be received and processed at NVC begins.

I have been working at my place of employment for so long- I do not have my employment letter... I guess I could request a copy- but I doubt they would have the original

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding this post but you said you thought they won't have the "original employment" letter. All you need is a current letter on company letterhead stating you work there and for how long you've worked there, your position and salary.

I'm a US citizen and i visited my husband in Nigeria this past February. I was told by the airport officials when i was leaving to return home to make sure my lap top was charged because if it won't turn on they will confiscate it from me. So yes this happens.

Have there been any august filers filing for their spouse transferred to Potomac from the Nebraska service center?

The embassy can not revoke a petition, they can only recommend that it be revoked. I believe that is why it says it is still pending.... until it is officially revoked. But the K1 is usually just sent back and left to expire. If you want your senator and/or congressman to get involved you must act quickly before it gets sent back. Some people have been able to get second interviews. Hopefully other members will reply and tell you more information on what your options are at this point. Lagos can be tough. We had our K1 denied too so we got married and applied for a CR-1. Best wishes.

Lol. Good for you. That encourages me. When I go I just need to be more confident and persistent. Like you. Thank you

Nope take both passports when you travel.

Do you think they'll make a big deal about the passports being in two different names when I arrive in Lagos and go through airport customs? And do you think they'll use it to scare me into giving them money to let me in (i've seen them do that to other people over some other stuff)?

I have a two year tourist visa to Nigeria stamped in my passport and its less than a year old. But I need to renew my passport and change it to my married name. Will it void my two year tourist visa?

Alright thanks, cause in order to get her original birth certificate she would have to go to her birth city

Is there a reason you chose to file K3? Because from what I've read on some posts, I thought the K3 is almost obsolete and seldom used.

Photocopies. The only time originals are used ar when the beneficiary takes them to the interview. Unless you are specifically asked to provide them. At the interview the beneficiary will show originals of all documents plus a photocopy of each.

BUMP,

we are a quiet group from august. seems like not many people sent in their packets during this month. haha

Yep we're quiet haha but give it some time... In about a couple of months people may start to get rfe's (but I hope not) and maybe a couple of approvals might start rolling in. Then we'll come alive and this thread will start popping. Lol.

Well if things continue on trend hopefully my fiance will be here in NOV. People there think snow is beautiful and all that but they get cold when its like 73deg. So I"m just like, ....just wait you'll see when you shovel and slip on the ice. Maybe we'll check out the ice skating rink in the mall back home.

My husband keeps saying he'll love winter but gets cold in the 70's too! Lol. Missouri can get bitter cold.

I also want to take him to a huge buffet to sample different foods. Then I'll know better how to grocery shop and what to cook.

Yes, welcome. And congratulations on being together now.

Don't laugh but I'm dying to take him to walmart! He's going to be like...what? Tires, socks, food under one roof? Hahaha

Hello. I read your previous post when you asked about visiting Nigeria and were given great advice. So now you are very close to leaving. You must be very excited. I just want to tell you about registering online with STEP

http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/step.html

I also want to tell you that returning home you must get to the airport very early. On my last visit my flight home was at about 10pm and I arrived there about 7pm. I was not allowed to go through the boarding process. Even after going upstairs and pleading with them. They said I should have been there at 5 pm. So I had to change my ticket and pay a cost difference and return the next day. So be there early and allow for the terrible traffic. Maybe no one else has experienced this but it happened to me. Have a ton of fun and take a bazillion photos.

After seven months at NVC and 101 days on supervisor review, we are finally seeing some action on our case, after involving our Texas Senator. Our case was moved from the idiot supervisor handling our case to the "Senator review team" on Sept 24th. I've heard from others that a Senator review usually takes about two weeks. We are hoping and praying that'll be the case for us too, which means we should hear something on Thursday. We've had such a long, hard struggle at NVC, really feel like we need something positive now so please pray for us.

Will do. Best wishes. Keep us posted.

They are mostly concerned about your current income. If it exceeds the guideline amount you are not required to fill out part 7. It's optional. But if you think it will be beneficial to you, you can. Mostly they will look at your most recent tax transcript and your letter of employment.

For 2012 I would list your income in the box, provide proof, and a letter explainig you weren't required to file that year. I'm not sure if you check the box. I'm going to say no. Don't check the box.

Better to call embassy and speak to someone high up. Not just whoever answers the phone. Let us know. Best wishes.

Good morning VJ members.

I sent my wifes 1-130 on 8-27-15 got the Noa1 on 9-10-15Nebraska. I just checked the uscis site and Case has been approved on 10-1-15, but I did not recive a text or email for approval. Is this just a glitch in the system?

Wow that's quick!
