Thanks again everyone.
We (I) have tried all approaches to break through. She has resisted every effort. Paper tickets for int'l flights had to be issued and delivered. These 3 days were too much for her, but unavoidable. There is no negotiation on her part.
She flies home and that it that.

Thanks One and All!
I just wanted to make sure that there would be no INS issues on her way home.
Way to use the timeline function everandel! I can only think that the relationship link was too thin (obviously), and that the 5 extra IMBRA months got in the way. I could allocate her response to fear of the changes in her life, or someone else in the wings...
As she describes it, it is everyone and everything she knew and loved that are "in the wings." No linear, rational, Mr Fix-it Guy thinking can take that on. And where there is no faith.......

So, my fiancee wants to go home. Cannot envision a successful transition and has demanded to return home.
Yes, I am heart broken, but no need to try and push this rope any further.
Question:
Other than buying a return trip ticket, is there any immigration associated steps to take.
She is K-1, Ukraine, still within 90 days.
Thanks for the condolences....

I filed the I-129f April 3rd.
I answered "no" to all the anti-social characteristics they were interested in.
I have no idea what they found during their security checks.

Well it looks like I am one of the first to make it thru... I feel kind of like survivor of sorts, not really sure what to add...
1st, based on the data table (so far)..
ID: JoeDog
Interview: 09-18-2006
Met Prior to 6 March = Yes
Embassy = Kiev
Visa Issued = Yes!
As for the experience:
Once the petition was sent from NVC there was no acknowledgement from Kiev for like 2 weeks. Then out of the blue my fiancee gets a phone call with the interview scheduled for 9/18 @ 9:00 am. No packet 3, and no packet 4 sent out! Fortunately, we had all the elements for packet 3, and the Embassy folk helped fill out the actual DS 156 forms. Very Nice.
There were no questions about IMBRA other than my fiancee's complete responses to how we met. (Thru an agency). There were no questions about my past. It was like IMBRA never took place, except for the time loss....
Nov 1st I go to kiev to fly with her.

I answered "yes" to the Agency question. Had no additional inquiry into the case at VSC, NVC, or Kiev Embassy.
My Fiancee had her interview 9/18. She passed. (of the 8 who were there with scheduled interviews, only 2 passed because their packets were complete! Go VJ!!!)
There were no Agency specific discussions other than when she responded as to how we met. There was no line of questioning about my (presumably sordid) past.
Perhaps the true thumb-screwing and iron-madening will begin after the purchase requests have been authorized with FY2007 money.
In all IMBRA ate up 6 months of our life together and denied us the Summer of (love) 2006. Far worse than thumb screws....

I have a what if for you all...
What if my fiancee, who does not yet have the notarized document from the father, gets her K-1 and comes to the US? I know there will be no K-2 issued.
Say on a return trip, perhaps on advanced parole, we entice the father to create one of these documents. Would the child (3 yrs old) be eligible for follow-on? Would it take my then wife getting her AOS complete and then filing a I-130 ?
Clearly it is best to get these documents before hand.

As a civil servant who longs to find employment in VT, I stumbled on the following job announcement. This will be a civil servant position, good pay, you get a title, and perhaps a chance to do some good for people like us...
Here is a snippet...
Director, Service Center
MAJOR DUTIES:
As Director of an assigned Service Center, you will be responsible for planning, directing, managing, and coordinating the activities of the Center to include processing and adjudicating applications and petitions for immigration and nationality benefits and privileges....[More duties follow...]
Additional Duty Location Info: 1 vacancy - Dallas, TX 1 vacancy - Laguna Niguel, CA 1 vacancy - Lincoln area, NE 1 vacancy - St. Albans, VT
Start to the overview to the job description...
The President has challenged cabinet Secretaries and senior Federal agency heads to create a government that is more citizen centered, results oriented, and market based.
Good times!

My application was touched 1 time from VSC receiving the RFE and the application approval.

Based on my 1st time thru the NVC (Our application was sent back to square 1), and assuming there will be no additional security checks (no new information to check), it took about 8 days to leave the VSC, process thru the NVC, and arrive in Kiev.
Good luck waiting. I hope you are plesantly surprised...soon.

*I've changed Moscow to Russia and organized each country in order of NOA1 date. I've also corrected noonie's data.*
As per rlt's suggetions, I've reorganized the chart to have it in country order - so we can check of the theory of them dealing with recalled petitions by country makes sense. Please check it and check your data, since I've had to do it manually. If you find any mistake, please PM me.
Please read the instructions before posting.
1. If you have any data to add to his table, or if you spot a mistake, please PM Mew and the info will be added.
2. When you reply to ask Mew to add info do not post it here, and most importantly, do not quote any of the charts if you feel an uncontrollable urge to reply to a previous post to tell us about your update. It's confused Mew and made it extremely difficult for Mew to keep track of the latest version of the table.
3. Wanna talk about the chart? Wanna make a joke about being recalled? Do you see a hidden pattern somewhere and are dying to tell us about it? Please do not do it here. Go to this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18817
4. Sometimes you'll see the chart posted repeatedly. It means Mew has updated it as per a fellow VJ's request.
Thank you!

USCIS can be as understandable as the military. Based on your user name...what class? I'm '85 awaiting an interview date.

My Fiance would like to bring her 3 yr old son over after we have been married for a while. A visit to an immigration lawyer gave me the following scenario.
Has anyone lived thru this or anything like it? I also have a few questions...
K-1 visa request process.
Fiancee gets here, we marry.
Request AOS.
Petition for I-130 immigration request for follow-on-rights.
Son's visa issued.
Family whole once again.
(Assume all custody paperwork is complete and acceptable for UA and USA govts.)
Questions:
1. Does the son's information go on the I-129f (as if he were arriving with her?), or can we generate "his" package separately?
2. Can we petition for the I-130 right after marriage, or do we wait for a specific piece of paper before applying?
3. Any time duration guetimates for this approach would be appreciated.
Joe
What to do (in terms of immigration) when fiancee wants to go home?
in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Posted
Found out answer.
Went to local airport with connection thru Dulles (IAD). The ticket agent (for United) took the i-94 from the passport and stapled it to the IAD - VIE boarding pass. The ticketing agent in IAD, the one who gives you the little boarding pass stub, will pass the i-94 onto immigration.
I will now "sit in the ashes...."
