Jamie & Izzy

I do too...id like to do our own august nvc tracking and stick together personally
me either...and I was 2/6...not sure if that's whats on my hardcopy though...I have to double check and maybe change it...we'll be soon tho...I didn't see anyone from 2/6 or 7 with a noa2 yet

I like the idea of adding another column to our sheet so we can see the time from NOA2 to NVC received. Then once NVC received we know we will go on that sheet for further tracking

Lisa I got my approval late in the night so I didn't even realize it till the next day. I had checked my status that night with no changes. The next day I logged on to VJ and read aditya's post he was approved. I immediately checked mine and couldn't believe it. I have no idea when it was changed.

You think?! Hopefully!! Lol! As for checking status, I discovered this nifty lil app for my phone called USCIS Case Status. As soon as case status changes online, the app updates and sends a notification.
Got 3 notifications when status was change when our file got transfered.
So I don't bother with checking USCIS website.
Instead I just stare at my phone, willing it to go 'PING!'

I feel the same way..I really hope they are not gonna skip some petitions..let's hope that tomorrow brings some good news for all of us!!

hello, my husband has been a God sent to my life. We have been together for 5 yeasr and married for 3 as of this year. we are very happy together. life nor are we perfect people in any way. But he and I both have respect for eachother and good communication with understanding of what the other feels or needs. I so appreciate his help at home before he was able to work. Its not easy to up and leave your continent for love or anyother matter to assemilate easily anywhere else. no matter what you have learned about a place. If it were so, I would have moved to Morocco exspecting life to be easy there. He told me having close friends like the ones we met on VJ has helped especially meeting them or communicating with them outside the forums. having to know someone here fom morocco living in the US helped him alot too. Getting the first Job is not life or death for a newly arrived person, but learning the surroundings, new friends, family, and how to get around while im at work was the best. meeting his needs personally for home and welbeing as he did for me when i visited him in his country was all I wanted to do. to give him the same great experience in coming here and now living here. Being patient is the key and a good listener too. I love my husband/best friend. life will bnot be easy. I know there will be test to come, but we will pass all of them.

Been together for nine years, married for 4 years. He became a citizen last year and he's still hanging around. I guess we must be doing something right

My sugar muffin honey bunny Moroccan husband remains decidedly lovable. Our 7th anniversary is coming up, and we plan on making it as saccharine an affair as possible. Or maybe just go to the beach.

Intent alone cannot deny AOS... and if it does, it will not be upheld... of course if you are a drug dealer back in your home country, or have committed crimes, etc. then those are considered negatgive factors and you will be denied. just make sure you consult the right attny, and they will guide you...
everyone on this site cries wolf with the word AOS is brough up...

NLR, intent is overcome as long as there are no negative factors. If OP is a US citizen, and spouse is immediate relaitive (in this case husband/wife), as long as there are no negative factors, its fine. This has been upheld by the supreme court and is case law...
dont scare the OP into the whole 10 year ban...
intent AND negative factors have to both be present to be denied if USC + Spouse...

We were transferred on the 5th, approved on the 12th. We are also getting docs ready now for NVC stage.

Maybe you can send them a letter to prevent getting an RFE but honestly we left a lot of blank spaces as well. It wasn't until I came on vj and found out that we should've actually written N/A. No RFE, approved last week ?
By the way I also had two names, my parents changed my name when I was 17. Just take all your papers and be ready. It's always better to be safe

Chances of a letter reaching them and being joined up with the petition is so slim you might as well say it doesn't exsist. If they RFE, they they RFE, but most of the time due to the beneficiary's address they can figure out what is supposed to happen in Q22. Just pay attention to when you get the approval notice that the file goes to the NVC (Department of State) and is not sent to the NRC (national records center) and that they don't assume you're adjusting status. You can't do anything to preemptive this, just pay attention and react if it happens wrongly. It will not hurt after approval for your USC spouse to call the USCIS and inquire when the file has been sent to the DOS and make sure it's indeed being sent to the NVC section of the DOS.
Get your police certificates done in any and all names. There should be a spot for any names used, in which, you would include your entire German name. Granted I've never seen a Moroccan police certificate so this is an assumption on my part.

The documents are sent to the NVC with the IV package and any additional evidence. Documents would be the police certificates, birth certificate, copies of passports, another letter explaining the difference in names, etc. Moroccan documents are considered valid for 3 months, to my knowledge and research on VJ.

I think waiting for an RFE is best, by sending a letter, they might pull your file and set at the back of the line. But ask in the thread referenced by the other poster to be sure.

Best of luck!

We should hopefully see couple of more from our group tonight!
Wish everyone a speedy approval and transfers, rooting for each and everyone of you...

Thanks! :-)
15 minutes a go, got the text and the email right after each other.

I think the "N/A" requirement comes at the NVC stage. It should be fine with USCIS.

Same here Izzy!lim afraid my phone/PC will start telling me "you've checked enough girl!" Let's hope for a good evening of approvals/transfers!!

Hang in there Izzy.......I am sure it will be soon!!!

This all does not sound very good ,I`m sorry to say this but if you already feel this way now imagine how you would feel after 6 years ? why do the both of you talk so little on skype ? My husband and i are always in contact as much as we can on weekends we are 24/7 online ,we cannot sleep without having skype on ,not sure if your just missing her but please if you don`t really love her,tell her...Do not let her suffer for this after !
Even if its shameful to divorce in in India i`m sure she`ll be okay, Id rather get hurt than be with someone who does not love me ,you do care for her i can see that ,but i just don`t know what to say at this point .
We all are waiting or waited for our loved ones but 5 month is really not long enough to crumble a relationship ...
Anyways...
I wish you good luck ! you and your Wife.

I don't know if this is a passing thing for you or not, Dude. I've regretted making the decision to move back here. I've apologized to everyone involved more than once. I don't know how I would have dealt with it if we'd been apart in the beginning of our marriage. At this point, knowing that you're probably dealing with clinical depression, I would not cancel the process. You're not in a good frame of mind to be making massive life-altering changes. Stay the course for now, please, get some help, from someone, and then reassess your thoughts on the situation. Depression can wreak havoc on your thought processes. But I wouldn't make any decisions until I knew I was in a better mental and emotional state.
Oh, and btw, I don't think that a Christian marrying a Muslim is that big of a difference or a big deal, unless you make it one. It might just be a cultural thing? I don't know. From my outsider perspective, it's the same God, just a different form of worshiping Him. As long as you can both refrain from claiming your way is the only right way, I really don't see why it should be a bone of contention.

I was actually in a similar place, albeit not suicidal, last year around this time. So, I want to tell you that other people have been there and feel it too. Part of it is that you have no control over this process and that is producing stress and that stress and helplessness is leading to depression. Another part of it is that you are newly married and have other stress on you.
The feelings about your marriage are also normal for a newlywed especially when the people are from two different cultures, it is also probably amplified by your depression and stress as it can spill over into other parts of your life.
Find someone to talk to, unload here, but definitely don't let yourself sink further down this hole.
It does get better, I can't tell you the enormous weight off of my shoulders the second we stepped foot on American soil and cleared immigration. Since then, those feelings of depression have not returned (despite people on this forum telling me that they would).
My advice - is to talk to a trusted friend or family member or therapist and get busy! Make yourself so busy with hobbies, working out, etc. that you have no time to dwell on it anymore. It will help, trust me.

I wish you good luck ! you and your Wife.

You have built your marriage foundation from a lie and it's probably going to be hard to be successful in the long run. You don't need to see anyone, just talk to your wife and tell her your situation no one else will better understand you other than her. Husband shares his feelings with wife and wife shares with her husband. If you think she'll get upset, she will get upset but you guys will find out a solution, it would be better if she finds everything now then if its too late. Try to talk to your wife as much as you can, it clears out misunderstandings and everything. Here's my story I got married recently and it was sort of arranged marriage, I didn't wanna marry this person, but I did for my mom's happiness. I fight my husband all the time! And at the end I realize I love him more and more, I tell him things that really upsets him but at the end he clears things out and says he loves me. And as you said she loves you, I assume u loved her thats why u married her, just tell her everything, every single thing dont worry if she will get upset, you will feel light and u hopefully she will understand you. And you feel this way only because she is away from you, you only chat 2 hrs a day on Skype, here's my husbands he chats me 24/7. If you guys talks more, you will understand her more and love her more. Goood Luck

Well i`m sorry to hear that ,but you have to talk about it with her very soon, tell her how you feel ! she will get mad she might even cry,but just do it .
I`ve been apart from my husband longer than we have been together, we have been together around 8-9 in total out of 2 and a half years ,it is not easy trust me,but we try to make the best out of it, sharing all our feelings is very important even if its the tiniest thing, and not have skype time while being apart would be a nightmare for us, this weekend tell her to get online i`m sure she can find away, do not write her these things tell her with your own voice how this all is making you feel and how it is affecting you and your relationship with her.
Before i met my husband i was in a 5 year long relationship (long distance) in those 5 years we met one time for 14 days,but in the end of those 5 years i was sick and tired of him not sharing his feelings hiding things from me being depressed mad and angry ,he was from Saudi Arabia he was atheist and hated his government ,that hate became stronger than our "Relationships" and i ended it ,i`m glad i did or else he would of dragged me down with his hate, and i would of never met my husband my soul mate .
Be strong ,for you and her !
