Yeah sure. I don't know yet, will know after I recieve the paper copy of the transfer. 

My case was in AP and then sent back to Uscis previously. For me, I was sent an intent to revoke and had a last chance to send in any new evidence. After that, my case got revoked. I went though this whole process for maybe 4 years and just reapplied again this year. 

Hi Guys! Joining this thread. My application was received by Texas Service Center April 25. Have been through this process once before so hoping this time is much better. 

Yes I agree, even though it must have been hard for him to hide his sexuality or be comfortable with it in public. It is not fair that the OP now is in a dilemma due to her husband's sexuality.
If he were to hide it, I feel like he should have left it that way because he has a wife and also son. If he did not want to hide it, he should have came out much earlier on. Because it isn't just about his sexuality of life anymore, he has other people emotionally and financial dependent on him and those are huge responsibilities you take when you marry someone.
Well, in the end I suggest the OP to talk to her husband and see what he says. Tell him how you feel about the situation and how you feel uncomfotable knowing what you know now and want to solve it.
Hope everything works out.

oh no! The ranting is dying! Everyone must be so fed up and just become zombies hahaha

Ok no one is coming to the thread any longer so we have two choices one let it die or ask the mods to not close it. Not sure what to do so it's up to you guys. If no one responds I will just let it go, no need to keep it up otherwise.
If this thread closed, please keep praying for each other and for all thos suffering through this very long and painful process. Thank you for your support during all these months it has been my pleasure to have gotten to know each and every one of you. We shall see what happens. Much love and hugs.

Hello! Have you heard anything from the embassy yet???
Oh nooo 1.5 years?? When was that? Recently? My husbands is going to be a year next month. Wow, they told you what they were doing? They just tell me to be patient and dont tell me nothing! Yeah same here my husband lived in Kuwait for like 12 yrs haha, hence the oh so tedious investigation...

I just called NVC. It took me 15 mins for the call to get through and whenever it connected I started shaking!! Anyways, long story short, even though we dont have a date yet something really nice happened. I finally found a rep with a heart and humane!!! She was so nice and helpful!! Faith in reps at NVC call center restored!!! They do have human beings, understanding, caring, eager to help people at that place!! So I asked for a Sup, but this time to give a positive feedback.

Now waiting for the Senator to inquire. Maybe by the end of the week! Wish us luck!!!

Just a quick peek to see how everyone is doing in the long and frustrating journey!
I am elated to share that after 25 months to get my IR-1 immigration visa, and a few months of ups and downs with job and health, I have a sale pending on my condo, health is good and I have booked my flight to be with my husband. Flying out on Sept 29/15 to be with him permanently! Best birthday present I could give myself!!!
I wish you all happiness and joy, and the patience to get though this roller coaster they call immigration!

I hope everything goes well for you also! Just be cautious to include anything needed and proof of a relationship, any small or big thing to add to the file that will help. Best wishes to you. This forum has been very helpful to me on the way so feel free to ask any questions if you are concerned

Oh no, I had the same problem as You Solenta! It didn't paste! Hahaha
Zats&Bryan, Thanks for the support. I have sent my husband money even when he was living in Kuwait, although I can really see the difference in...the system. The recipients are given based on the ID number and on each receipt the name is spelled different! Can you believe it? I used western union many times and he sent me money too, but they look at the number and the name is mest up I did collect the receipts before but then I realized his name was spelled different on all of them-minus or plus a letter. that would cause only more suspicion...shucks
I agree with you, this journey will bring us closer with our spouses!! It will not be an ordinary story to tell
Solenta
They are pure evil and what BS about your sponsor, they signed a paper saying
they are responsible and it's binding as far as I know so what should they care
if it's a relative or not. Just a stupid excuse to make you suffer more and I think
if your completely honest with they they will understand why you haven't visited
your husband. But it seems to me you have your Visa you just need that sponsor
to make it happen. I'll be praying this is the case.
I sent in another co-sponsor quite soon after the AP, but still no word
Why didn't your husband stay in the Middle East working he could have gone
to his interview there with no problem. I e-mailed the Egyptian embassy about
this and they said there would be no problem going through the process in
another country.
His Akama (Working Visa) was expiring at the time and I had already helped him pay twice before and could not help this time.
His last job wasn't paying him and took his money! He could not pay for it and would become an illegal resident. Also, who knew this would take soooooooooooooooooooooo
long. Also my husband did not feel comfortable doing the process in the middle east and wanted to go back home
I pray to win the lotto because if I did I would send money to you and others
that can't visit their spouse. It's not fair they hold things against we can do
nothing about.
Wouldn't that be lucky! Me too, I pray that others don't have to go through this. I don't even know if it is better now, is the backlog still like it was when I applied?

I honestly hope u dont have to go through something like this!! It makes such a big impact on ur life. Its a nightmare!!
There werent any complications but things added up in my case. After I applied, not very long after, all I-130s were pushed back so the offices could work on the deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) paperwork. This caused a backlog everywhere, at uscis and nvc. My case sat at uscis for a like a yr before being transfered to a "working" office. That took forever!! After that there was that national visa crash around this time last time I think, not sure when. So after all that...
My husband was put on AP, many reasons for delay according to them...well they requested a new co-sponsor, and red flags...my husband is muslim, and he used to live in a MENA country-terrorist risk list countries and is from Bangladesh-a high fraud country, ppl can make fraudulent document in one day, the poorest and countries on the terrorist list are usually the high fraud countries. Such as many countries in Afica, Latin America, and Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
On top of that, we met online....which is another red flag in those parts of the world. Thats all of the ngihtmare in summary!

The co-sponsor did make enough but they said they do not believe that it was authentic because my she is not family and a different ethnicity than me, I dont even know what they come up with. what they denied u evn though u lived with him for 2 yrs? thats so harsh!! uggh i thought this immigration ####### would be done so soon it just never ends! i hope ur spouse gets their visa soon! its so unfair how they assume they know things about us. I mean I understand that ppl make stuff up and lie but omg, why does it take forever for them, what more do they want! ive seen ppl come here and leave thie spouse after they got a greencard, weren't those ppl checked?? the ones who i have seen who arent rly in a relationship are the ones who get their visa fast and get away with it, and the ones who are rly yearning to be with their loved ones ae waiting and paying for it.
Yes I have a smrt phone and I do talk to him on fb chat but its not be that cant chat. My husband lives in the village and does not have acess to a laptop or good internet. He does have a tablet that he uses but theres only so much we can talk becasue of the horrible internet and he has to pay per mb to use it too. hes also been unemplyed for over a yr so that doesnt help. he used to work in the middle east but he left for his interview, who knew this would take a lifetime!
Unfortunetly I cant ask my parents for money, I am already living with them and they arent very supportive of my marriage, they wanted e to marry who they wanted as per their traditional views, not mine. so im stuck there I hope they dont hold it agaisnt me that I have not seen my husband in so long, its not my fault! It's theirs! Ugh
Hope something good happens soon :(
