I got the security check ####### after waiting 10 months. It was another month before we got approved

So you got approved after 11 months?

Are you a US citizen?

I just don't understand what is taking so long.

It is not like he has any "issues"

Pisses me off quite frankly.

I hope you got your approval from USCIS. I am waiting for NOA2 for a I-130 for my husband. He is in Ankara. I just visit as much as possible. BUT, I can relate...when we talk about the process we get all silent and weird. So we try to talk about it very little. I have been waiting for approval for 7 months now. I hope we get something soon. Because then we have to go through NVC and that can be kind of stressful, not knowing if you did something wrong on the paperwork. Regardless, I hope by NOW, which I think you have, received your NOA2.

We are at 7 months waiting for I-130 approval and I am leaving at the end of this month to go back to Turkey. We were told that we were stuck in security checks. It is really frustrating. K3 I hear is waste of time also.

I really don't understand what the problem is and why it is taking so long. I have everything ready for the NVC portion of this wait.

I am ready to get this moving further along.

I sucks being apart. So I will just go back.

slnbsk what were you told when you did a service request?

Good luck to you. My husband is in Ankara and I am here in US. I am from Florida. There are money order type places in Turkey. Western Union is one of them. I am not sure if PTT also has a money order service.

I wish you luck. I know that there is not Direct Consular Filing in Turkey because I looked into it....That would make things move quicker.

To give you an idea...we filed the I-130 with Notice of Acceptance on May 13, 2014. I have heard nothing yet. Uhhh. It stinks.

And I am in a hurry because I miss my husband. I have been back in the US for 4 weeks now and it is torture.

As far as where to live...think about Florida...haha. Actually it is too humid here. Chicago is nice and some states like Maryland and Virginia. My husband and I are relocating to North Carolina. AS soon as he gets here.

I am getting prepared in advance for the Affidavit of Support and IV packets. Lots of financial and tax information needed and I had to get my mom to joint sponser my husband because I left my job in March 2014. Too much traveling back and forth between US and Turkey.

Good luck!!!
