sending IV and AOS pkgs out today!! YAY!!! so excited :)

actually, its averaging them about 35-40 days... ive been calling every day since they confirmed reciept (Jan 2) and we just got our case number today... ive read many other ppl with similar time frames... also remember they are losing work days with all that snow and having to close for days at a time... we have to be patient, losing out temper doesnt help anyone

We are right at 3 weeks today, still no case number. Calling every day is only as frustrating as you let it be for me its just another phone call on my list of daily tasks. In the meantime my husband and I are gathering and reviewing all our paperwork and checking travel.state.gov and VJ for any questions or items we don't fully understand. It hasn't been as stressful for me since my days are very busy to begin with. Once our case number is ready then we will be ready to continue our journey Wishing everyone much luck and patience thru this journey It will be worth all the struggle and frustration in the end

My info was on the form when i called our lawyer he hadn't heard anything either... but i do know its a good sign i'm just frustrated that it's already been two weeks. i've seen other couples get theirs in 5 days or less :/

Our lawyer sent our I-130 to the Phoenix Lockbox on Aug 12... as of today i still haven't gotten any kind of response :/ ...however when i tracked the payment it was cashed on Aug 20th so we should get our NOA1 soon i hope? :/ its frustrating because i sent the G-1145

LOL......the muttering sounds about tree killing remark is hilarious.
I agree this is indeed so, not just for Nigeria but pretty much all countries.
USCIS officers make a big sigh having to scan everything into the computer and CO's fuss because
they have to deal with a mountain of papers.
When I came with my well stacked evidence to see the CO during a visit while in AP she said to me " I don't have time to read
all that. What makes you wake up one morning and start collecting all this evidence ?"
Insinuating that I over compensated for some mysterious reason which kicked in her 007 mode.
My answer was : " My lawyer advised me to do so and that it was needed."
However....she also said : " I am not convinced of a bona fide relationship."
I asked "what else do you want to convince you? "
She said "I can't tell you that." Oh really ? You want something but can't tell me what.
Emails, chats, phone logs, wedding rings engraved with our names shown in person with receipt,
evidence of 3 (at that time) trips, affidavits, gazillion photos,
loving caring communication and interaction, wedding garments receipt, blah blah blah.....you name it we had it.

So it is a damned if you do and damned if you don't kind of contradicting mess that is different for
each and every couple and up to them to pin point what the CO is looking for.
Even if you really have a very good interactive interview with bright smiles and all and you feel you got this,
they still want to see flowing evidence of consistent communication when apart.
My decision is to front load the second time around so I can say : My evidence of bona fide did not get looked at.
I am front loading it to make sure it will this time around.
The decision on how much to submit is a decision that can make you go bonkers.
Currently thinning it out because it looks like a master thesis on Mount Everest.
How does one shrink a mountain to a sizable-just-right- mole hill !
How does one please the un -pleasable ?
Add to that stuff from a 4 year long relationship and you do end up with quite a bit versus a 6-12 months
relationship. If you omit evidence from a 4 year relationship because it may be too much then they will
say what happened during the gap ....did you not communicate during that gap because you omitted evidence.
Lord have mercy !
Thanks for posting that, with all the aggravation it still made me smile the way the CO presented it.
I will include a note saying sorry for all the trees that were killed but .......long relationship, refusal, starting over
and I thought I needed to front load because CO said she was not convinced with our evidence. LOL.
