HELLO GIRLS!

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSES! i HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT SATURDAY.

i RECEIVED TODAY A FEDEX PACKAGE FROM MY CO SPONSOR, SHE IS MY COUSIN, ALMOST MY SISTER, SHE IS SENDING ME BANK LETTER, BANK STATEMENTS, LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT WITH SALARY, ETC, THE 134, ALL NOTARIZED.

BUT DID NOT SEND TAX TRANSCRIPS BECAUSE SHE SAID THE 134 DOES NOT ASK FOR THEM!! (WHICH IS ACTUALLY TRUE).. SHE CHECK THE CDJ WEBSITE AND SHE INSISTS THE SITE SAYS: "SEND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING" IM CONFUSSED... DO YOU GUYS THINK I HAVE TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON HER AND ASK HER TO SEND ME TAX STUFF..? BECAUSE I READ ALL THE TIME, EVERYBODY IS TAKING TAX STATEMENTS TO THEIR INTERVIEWS..

UN ABRAZOOOOOOO

POLICIAL RECORD -

GIRLS, IT IS NECESARY TO JUAREZ, THE POLICE RECORD ?? IN MEXICO IS KNOWN AS "CARTA DE ANTECEDENTES NO PENALES" ..

I JUST WANT TO KNOW TO SEARCH INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET IT. IF YES.. HAS TO BE NOTARIZED? TRANSLATED?

UN BESOOOO

I know its hard! I was the last from Feb 1 2006 and I just got the approval 10 days ago. has been like a fresh air

good luck to all!

I tried to update the list and paste it in here but the formatting got all messed up. So if anyone is interested in easily comparing dates, I attached an updated list (without NOA1 or RFE info since it is no longer relevant) in a Word doc.

Thank u very much Kit Kat! great list! I already downloaded it.

Hello again! Im working on the evidence for the interview.. Hopefully soon!

1.- It is OK if my fiance gets me an employment letter from his work? His manager is willing to give us a letter and the work but in the same building..SAME COMPANY..

2.- I read two times the I134 and there is only one part where the form requests the last tax return: when the sponsor is self employed.

IF MY SPONSOR WORKS IN A COMPANY (HOSPITAL) THEN, I DONT NEED HER TO SEND ME THE TAX RETURN COPIES FROM LAST 3 YEARS..? just verifying..

Thanks for ur help!

Hello again! yeah.. I dont sleep.. Im working on the evidence for the interview.. Hopefully soon!

It is OK if my fiance gets me an employment letter from his work? His manager is willing to give us a letter

and the work but in the same building..

I was reading what CDJ request as affidavit of support. If im using a sponsor, then the sponsor have to send only support information and no the i-134? Do I need anything notarized?

Is it possible that MY FATHER, (mexican and no a USC) can be the joint sponsor?? Im a little confussed.

BUENAS NOCHES!!

HELLO TO EVERYONE! I HOPE U GUYS HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

QUERIDA KIT KAT,

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR THE TIME YOU TAKE TO HELP THIS FORUM!

I WILL BE FREE OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE WAIVER! I HAVE 130 DIAS AFTER MI 1-94 EXPIRED.

EVERYTHING HAPPEN FOR A REASON RIGHT? 2 YEARS AGO, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAN WHY I DID WHAT I DID.. AND FINALLY TONIGHT, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING HAS SENSE..

IN 2004 I WAS ALREADY IN LOVE W MY FIANCE AND HE MOVED TO MY PLACE IN NY. YES, I WAS A TOURIST BUT I HAD DRIVERS LICENSE, CREDIT CARDS, MONEY I RECEIVED FROM FATHER IN MEXICO AND I COULD RENT AN APARTMENT, SERVICES, GET A CAR, ETC. I LIVED IN NY DURING 3 YRS TRAVELING EVERY 5 MONTHS OR SO, TO MEXICO CITY..

WHILE I WAS IN THE BIG APPLE, I WAS SO IN LOVE, THOSE WERE THE BEST MOMENTS IN MY LIFE SO I COULDN'T SEE CLEAR.. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AFTER 26 ENTRIES TO THE UNITED STATES, I FORGOT ABOUT THE VISA, THE 194, ABOUT OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES.. SCHOOL, EVERYTHING..

AND ONE SUNNY DAY I TOOK MY CAMERA AND WENT ON A ROAD TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS TO TAKE PICTURES, (IM A PHOTOGRAPHER) JUST PICTURES!! BUT IM DUMB AND I TOOK A BAD DECISSION.. I DROVE TOWARDS ONTARIO AND CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE OVER NIAGARA FALLS, DIVIDING US -NEW YORK STATE AND CANADA -ONTARIO.. YES!!! NOBODY TOLD ME SO.. I MADE IT BY MYSELF!! LOL

I CROSSED TO ONTARIO I TOOK MY SILLY PICTURES.. AND WHEN I TRIED TO ENTER THE US, OFFICERS TOOK MY VISA, PASSPORT, CREDIT CARDS, PURSE, ETC ETC! I WAS DETAINED FOR 13 HRS AND FINALLY THEY LET ME RETURN TO NEW YORK CITY TO END SERVICES UNDER MAY NAME, RETURN THE APARTMENT AND LEAVE THE US IN 20 DAYS. I RETURNED TO MEXICO CITY BEFORE MY DEADLINE ACTUALLY. AND I LEFT AN ENTIRE LIFE IN NY, MY FIANCE TOO PARA QUE SE ME QUITE!! CUA CUA CUA..! I REALLY HAD A HARD TIME..

HE CAME TO MEXICO AND LIVED WITH ME THE 1ST YEAR, NOW IS IN NY BUT HE IS COMING FOR CHRISTMAS..

AND NOW, IM THINKING IF ALL THIS HAPPENED FOR A REASON, MAYBE THE REASON IS NOT TO GET

THE WAIVER!!!!!! LOL... AFTER ALL, MAYBE WAS A COSMIC FAVOR TO STAY FREE OF THE 3 OR 10 YEARS CASTIGO.. QUE OPINAN? AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM THE EXPERIENCE.. I HAVE TO BE LEGAL ANYWHERE..

KK, QUESTION: HOW MANY TIME THE WAIVER FOR UR FIANCE IS GONNA TAKE..? DID THEY TOLD HIM AT THE CONSULATE?

UN ABRAZO A TODAS

GOOD MORNING!!

IM GLAD TO BE HERE. E&K, THANKS FOR THE INVITATION I REALLY DID NOT KNOW U GUYS HAD THIS FORUM FOR CD JUAREZ.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE EXPERTS... KK WHERE ARE YOU!?

IM STILL AFRAID OF GETTING THE WAIVER. I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET THE IMBRA RFE SINCE WE FILED IN JANUARY 2006 AND WE STILL GOT IT!! SO I THINK WITH USCIS NOTHING IS GRANTED.

MY QUESTIONS, PLEASE

1. DAYS OF OVERSTAY COUNT FROM THE ENTRY DATE OR FROM THE DAY I-194 EXPIRED?

2. WHAT'S THE WAIVER FEE?

3. FINGERPRINTS ARE FOR EVERYONE OR JUST FOR WAIVERS? FEE?

4. IS THE INTERVIEW IN SPANISH?

5. X RAY IS INCLUDED IN MEDICAL EXAM? DOES IT HAVE A DIFFERENT FEE?

6. HOW MANY DAYS DO YOU RECOMMEND TO STAY IN CD JUAREZ?

7. CAN I PAY THE VISA FEE BEFORE GOING TO JUAREZ? WHILE IM STILL IN MEX CITY?

I NEED TO SAVE SOME MONEY FOR MY TRIP!!

KITKAT, IM SAD ABOUT YOU HAVE TO WAIT MORE AMIGA.. ESPERO QUE TE SEA LEVE Y QUE EL AMOR LOS MANTENGA SIEMPRE FUERTES. A MI LA ESPERA ME HA HECHO LLORAR MAS Q NUNCA EN TODA MI VIDA..

SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT TIME MEANS WHEN U ARE MILES AWAY FROM THE MAN YOU LOVE...

ANYWAY I HAVE A CRAZY HISTORY ABOUT MY OVERSTAY.. NO.. ABOUT HOW AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER TOOK MY LASSER VISA AND PASSPORT! THEN THEY GAVE ME A HEARING.. LES CONTARE PRONTO IN CASE SOMEONE IS IN A SIMILAR SITUATION.

BLESSINGS TO ALL WAITING

HELLO TO EVERYONE!

IM NEW TO THIS MESSAGE BOARD, BUT SOME OF YOU, do KNOW ME! KITKAT, E&K, ALEJANDRA, ETC..

IM IN MEXICO CITY, MY FIANCE IS IN NY, WE JUST GOT THE APPROVAL AFTER 10 MONTHS AND WE ARE SO HAPPY. He is coming to Mexico City next week and will stay until christmas.. !

I have a 130 days overstay on a tourist visa, And reading this thread, Im a little afraid of getting the waiver.. PLEASE GOD!!!!!! NO MORE WAITING!!!!!! Hopefully I can be safe from the waiver if im under the 180 days or something like that. Any opinions?

un abrazo a todas y todos

B.

HELLO !!

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WISHES! WE ARE HAPPY NOW.. MY FIANCE IS COMING TO MEXICO CITY FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND TO CELEBRATE! NEXT THING IS GOING TO CD JUAREZ.

BRENDA

HELLO TO EVERYONE! WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED AFTER MORE THAN 10 MONTHS! WE ARE SO HAPPY , I COULDN;T RESIST CRYING, LAUGHING, ..

BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU WAITING.

WE CONTACTED SENATOR IN NY AND SENT A LETTER LIKE THIS, MAYBE THE FAST RESPONSE ON OUR CASE WAS BECAUSE OF THIS.. I REALLY DONT KNOW:

______________________________________________________________________

Receipt Number: EAC-XXXXXXXX

CASE PENDING: USCIS. I-129F PETITION FOR FIANCEE

Expedite Request

Dear Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

780 Third Ave

Suite 2601 November 02 2006

New York, NY 10017

Phone: (212) 688-6262

Fax: (212) 688-7444

Please help us with this inquiry. We have been waiting for 10 months, with no answer from USCIS. I followed recommended procedure and called USCIS. A customer service representative suggested that I fax a request for expedited service as I am now easily outside normal processing times. I thus write to request this expedited processing of my case, recourse for which USCIS policy provides.

I-129F SENT: January XX 2006. to Vermont Center

NOA 1 (package received): February XX 2006.

RFE IMBRA: July XX 2006.

306 days waiting for Approval.

After more than 5 months since I filed, on July XX 2006, I complied with the requirements of IMBRA dated July XX 2006; even though my petition did NOT fall under the IMBRA law since I filed BEFORE it went into effect (March 6 2006). USCIS's August XX, 2006 reply subsequently stated that preliminary processing of my case was complete, and that remaining processing time would be less than the maximum stated in the message. The USCIS website and call center similarly state that I should have received a written decision on my case within 60 days of receipt of the requested information. For us, it has been 112 days. USCIS additionally advises a phone inquiry should no news be received within the stated 60 days.

I respectfully request your attention to my concerns and also request expedited processing. I look forward to a timely response and or resolution.

"In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, you and your staff are hereby authorized to freely discuss any and all aspects of my situation."

NOTE: I am attaching copy of NOA 1, RFE IMBRA, and current status of my case.

Sincerely,

Petitioner:

HELLO EVERYONE,

I THINK IM THE ONLY ONE HERE WAITING FOR THE NOA 2 FROM FEBRUARY!

WE FILED IN VERMONT, IM MEXICAN, MY FIANCE LIVES IN NYC. WE NEVER RECEIVED RFE, MAYBE BECAUSE WE SENT A PACKAGE FULL OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EVIDENCE. EVEN THOUGH WE FILED IN EARLY FEB WE GOT THE RFE-IMBRA. WE RESPONDED, THEY SENT A NOTIFICATION OF SUPPLEMENT RECEIVED ON AUGUST 2006 AND THAT IS ALL THAT WE HAVE. *NO TOUCHES* NEVER!!!!!!!

WE HAVE SPOKEN TO A CONGRESSMAN 3 TIMES AND THEY JUST SEND E MAILS AND ADVICE US TO WAIT 30 DAYS FOR EVERY MAIL SENT.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!?

PLEASE HELP ME.. IF SOMEONE KNOW WHAT CAN WE DO? KITKAT, IF YOU ARE AROUND HERE...

WHO WE SHOULD TO SPEAK TO?

HOW DO WE WRITE A LETTER TO A SENATOR?

WHAT SHOULD IT SAYS?

SHOULD WE WRITE TO SOMEONE IN VERMONT CENTER.?

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE US..??

DO YOU GUYS THINK OUR CASE IS LOST? STOLEN? IN THE TRASH? FORGOTTEN?

DOES THE PETITION HAVE A TIME FRAME..? COULD BE EXPIRED BEFORE NOA 2.?

BESOS Y ABRAZOS! I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HELP.

-BRENDA

AND MY FIANCEE AND ME, HAVE CLEAN RECORDS ABOUT PRIOR PETITIONS, OR ANY KIND OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.. SO ITS WEIRD UH>> ? I VE SEEN IN THIS FORUM IM THE ONLY ONE THAT RECEIVED NOA IN EARLY FEB 2006 AND STILL GOT THE IMBRA. I JUST DONT KNOW WHY..
