Same in Mississippi, because my husband's visa and I-94 had expired they would not allow him to test for his DL, so we must wait until he has his EAD and/or AOS completed. They are real sticklers about this.

Met once before filing, now happily married.

Not sure how everything works in the Philippines, but my husband and I have a 22 year age gap. There were no issues with our K-1 at the Algerian embassy. So good luck and maybe all will be grand. The tv show 90 Day Fiancé has a couple on there this season with a 39 year age gap, so maybe it does not matter. I think the young woman is from the Philippines.

As long has he has "full coverage" on the cars, it should cover you. But it would be best if he were to add you as an insured driver on his insurance policy. It would not be considered a "joint" policy, you would just be added to the policy as a driver of one or both cars.

Thanks every so much again. I asked to see proof of his employment which was met with a "I don't have to show you anything, if you don't trust me, fine". To which I reminded him of when he flirted with other girls, and lied to me. And all I heard back was "you could have left me then. You saying all this makes me want to smack you". I expressed my horror at that statement which was answered with this "saying this doesn't mean I'll do it". (of course...then why saying it?!)

This made me drive to work in tears. That's it. I'm heartbroken and angry at myself to have wasted a year and a half. Like you said Mike, he was someone I made my world, and that's what I got in return. I know I'll need a lot of time to heal properly, but if I don't, he wins.

AvaAdore,

You will heal, do not let this fool's behavior rip you apart. I myself suffered loss of love more than once before meeting my fiancé. When the love is real, it heals old wounds and allows you to grow in a good, nurturing relationship. My job is in the law enforcement community and I also was in an abusive relationship. In my life, I have learned first hand if the abuser makes any statement regarding "smack you" or otherwise imply physical harm, it is only a matter of time before the words become actions.

You are stronger than you think at this very moment. He is the weak one and it is evident that he must have grown up in the same environment he was attempting to bring you into. More than likely he may have witness the way to control someone from one or both of his parents. I'm rendering a guess, but I would say the controller in his family was his mother, because his father is out of the home, but it very well could have been a two-side abusive relationship.

Love is out there in this vast world of ours for you. When you least expect it, Love with open your heart completely. Know that there are a few simple rules to a GREAT relationship.

1. COMMUNICATION

2. Stay Faithful

3. Make them feel wanted

4. Respect your partner

5. Don't flirt with others

6. Make time for one another

If you don't have all of these in your relationship, something is very wrong.

Good luck in your life.

Melinda

Greetings thanks for your reply as well, it means so much to me to realise I may feel alone, but there are lovely people out there who have compassion. He lives in California, in a small town. He has a sound engineering certificate, but somehow he hasn't been serious about his job search and hasn't applied as much as he should have (which disheartened me but he said he couldn't handle the stress of the job search :/ .. ) . We have had ups and downs, and in the difficult moment all he wanted was to play video games, and go to music shows, as opposed to looking for more jobs. When I confronted him about this, he said he still had plenty of time, but time flew by and nothing happened . As to being pregnant, I know he really wants a child, he even told me once that the only point of getting married is to have children, otherwise he sees little purpose in this.

Hello, my opinion may not matter. I am a US Citizen, yes sometimes jobs can be difficult to find. But as for a man who states he cannot handle the stress of the job search, then I'm afraid you may be dealing with a man who cannot handle the daily stresses of marriage.

Dear stop and list the pros and cons of coming to the US into a situation such as you have described. It appears to me that you would go into a far worse situation that you imagine. If it were myself, I would not come to stay, visit yes, but not come with the hope that he will change and get a job. Please understand and I'm sure you know you cannot change someone. That person must want to and be willing to change themselves. From everything I have read here, it seems he is looking for someone to take care of him as it appears his mother has done all his life.

He cannot make a life for you and him sitting playing video games. Please do not put yourself nor a new baby into this situation. From everything I have read you are bright and very smart, you deserve better than this couch potato which is what I would call anyone not willing to grow up, get a job and support those he claims to love. He has had plenty of time to prove to you that he is willing to get a job, support you and help to create a life for you and himself.

My dear, he is not a man yet, he is still a little boy wanting to play house.

She can get an attorney and file for a divorce on the grounds of desertion. He left her and all she has to do is get with the attorney, prove he has been out of her life for ever how long he has been gone, last known address of where she knew he was, publish it in the news papers for the required number of publications per the state municipality. Go with her attorney before a judge and get a divorced. Then she can move forward get herself back in good status, marry the father of her child, file the correct paperwork and hopefully have a happy life.

Been there on the divorce part myself, my first husband deserted me and our child. Stayed married to him for another year, just to get my divorce on the grounds of desertion.

_{I think it may always be placed in a sealed envelope when it is being taken to the US Embassy, more than anything a sealed envelope ensures nothing is lost from the exam paperwork.}

They gave him his results in a sealed envelope to take to his interview. The envelope is to be opened only by the consular.

Congrats

Did he get any letter to do medicals ? or he went and did it himself ?

We had to complete forms the DS-160, schedule his interview before being able to schedule the medical exam. Once the interview was scheduled approximately 2 weeks out, he contacted the clinic listed in his instructions and scheduled his medical exam. Now he did have to have some vaccinations prior to going for his medical exam, so if you can schedule your interview 2-4 weeks out, it will provide time to get any vaccinations needed, and attend the medical exam.

Good Luck

Yes we were very blessed and have the visa in hand and ready to travel.

Use the embassy information page here on visajourney. My fiance and I gather much information from the Algerian Embassy Information page.

First which country is she from?

Maybe a written statement from you regarding the matter and if nothing else check with your embassy before leaving and see if they can possibly help you in expediting a police certificate from the area of China in which you have lived for the past year. Your embassy issued the emergency Passport so maybe they know how or who to get with to assist you in getting the certificate you need for the K-1 interview process in the UK.

Good luck and best wishes.

Hi , no worries !

we called the NVC yesterday, and it was our first time . i would suggest if you wait more than 2 weeks from the date of your approval ; because it is really fraustrating to call them , they will make you wait for a very llong time , so there is no need to call them now and waste your time .

Give them another week or two and hopefully you will hear good news

wish you good luck

Our petition was approved January 23, 2015. It was sent to the NVC on February 2, 2015. The NVC received it February 11, per our Case # that was assigned I discovered that the NVC assigned our case number on February 23, 2015. It was sent to the Embassy on March 20, and received at the Embassy on March 24, 2015. You may find that the time at NVC really gets on your nerves, but your case can remain at the NVC for up to 4 weeks, no matter how many times you call this time does not change. Good Luck to all remain positive and keep up good spirits. It is so worth the journey.

Hello ,

do we need to wait to get assigned a number for our case before sending out package or do they give us number still once package is

received and do we pay online only after getting assigned a case number I assume?"

Hello, seems we are on the same visa journey. We recently received our case number from the NVC, and most recently our petition was sent to the embassy in Algiers. I looked to see your timeline, but you don't have a timeline set up so I really cannot give advice. To pay the visa fee your fiance will have to have that with him at the embassy $265 either in US dollars or the equivalent of Algerian dinars. You can inbox me if you wish and I will do my best to assist you through this time. We are coming to the end of our journey, it would be a blessing to assist you.

It does say that our interview date was provided by the National Visa Center. But when I look at the Embassy Info tab for Algeria, it indicates that the embassy will schedule the interview once all information is gathered and I believe the DS 160 must be completed prior to an interview date. But we will find out as time goes on. I'm just ready to begin building our live together.

Of course we shall keep you in our prayers, it is an honor to do so. Good luck in the future praying God will guide your steps.

Our petition has finally made it to the Embassy in Algiers, Hamdoulilah!!!!!!!!!!! I pray everyone get good news in the very near future. Good luck to all and may God bless each and everyone.

wow . congrats... prayers for u. please keep us in your prayers too. Does your also says that Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.??

Trillions thanks to Almighty Lord! In Transit! Thanks all for your help and support. And prayers for Malek and Hamza, too.

We are "In Transit" also, Wow, looks like we are on our way to the next step in this wonderful journey to be with our loves.

Not that it matters, but our petition is right there with yours the NVC received ours on February 11, 2015 and a case number was assigned on February 23, 2015, using the formula of subtract 500 from the 3-digits that follow the year in your case number. I have called multiple times, and finally spoke with a woman who seemed a bit more encouraging that others. She stated that our petition was waiting to be sent to the embassy and should go out within the next two weeks. She further stated that it is common for petitions to remain at the NVC for 4 weeks.

Hope this helps.

Does longer AP always mean more serious things or its just random that some get resolved sooner than others?

I was just looking back at earlier post and noticed that one of your post indicated that the 3 digits after the year for your case is 547, well ours is 542. So we are right together in this situation. It is my hope and prayer that our petitions shall be sent to our embassies by the end of March or the first part of April. Chin up, God willing all will be well.

• (603) 334-0700 NVC

  Keep redial in and don't give up you can get through. 7 am - 12 am Eastern Time.

So when I was calling nvc initially they'd tell me immediately that the case was in AP. Last two times they didnt mention AP. They just say it's waiting to be shipped. Does it mean AP has ended

We have also been waiting for AP to end. Today I called NVC and was told that usually petitions are shipped to the Embassies within a month of the petition being received at the NVC. So hopefully we are all moving forward.

How do I find out that the USCIS sent my paperwork to the NVC?

I received a text message notification when my petition was sent to the NVC. But you can also go to USCIS.gov and check your status.

After a 42 minute wait on hold I spoke with someone, was able to get our Case #, Invoice ID # and Beneficiary ID #. Using the formula provided above our case was entered into the system on Monday, February 23, 2015. USCIS sent our petition on February 2, 2015, so a nice full 3 weeks. Hopefully soon our's will be on it's way to the Embassy in Algeirs. So close but still so far to go.
