I have reported this forum, under the guidelines, asking for illegal assistance

You really do not need a lawyer, the process may seem complicated, its not, be organised, ask for help on here you'll be good

I am a total dullard and managed without any mess ups!!

I had a large messenger bag with all my junk, and wash kit, pants etc!!

Please don't get down, the time scale my shift, but always remember, it WILL happen

Keep positive, keep smiling, you WILL be together

Hi There

I'm sorry to hear about the problems

The same happened to me, they said they were missing my divorce certificate, which we knew was in the packet, anyway we couriered another copy to them, and heard nothing

Eventually my wife got through on the 'helpline' and once again they said they had recieved paperwork but not thr divorce cert...................argh

So my very patient wife got the supervisor to go throufg all of our file and lo and behold there it was!!!

My advice is call them and call again, get someone to check your file, I'll bet money its in there

So at local bar I say "Pint of Guinness please"

Sever "Pardon me?"

Me "Guinness please"

Server " I don't think we have that"

Me "That" (pointing at the Guinness tap)

Server "Oh Guinness"

Not a problem, I had my hand luggage with me, chargers, kindles, tablet, all the usual toys

It went through the airport scanner thingy they have at the Embassy no worries at all

Hi Welcone to VJ

There are loads of us who are going/gone through the process

Good Luck

I don't think anybody knows for certain if your PD makes any difference, there have been a lot of different discussions on VJ about this

I would like to think it does, but the NVC works on mysterious ways!

Even though i disagree with what you guys are saying, I don't think your posts should have been deleted you are only expressing your opinions. I'm taken 45 minutes of my time daily to call nvc and i continue to take an extra 5 minutes to put the staff on hold. Today i was told by customer service that they agreed with me that waiting time should not be so long and the only thing i can do is to contact senator and congressman to complain about the waiting times. I will be contacting today i will be sending a letter to Kevin Mccarthy, Nancy Pelosi, Darrell Issa, Mike Honda, Adam Schiff, Loretta Sanchez, Dana Rohrabacher, Jackie Speier, Barbara Lee, Ed Royce, Linda Sanchez, Xavier Bercerra, Maxine Waters, Tom McClintock, Devin Nunes, Ami Bera, Judy Chu, Mimi Walters, Duncan D. Hunter, Anna Eshoo, Mark Takano, Eric Swalwell, Sam Farr, Mike Thompson, Jared Huffman, Lois Capps, John Garamendi, Susan Davis, Brad Sherman, Doris Matsui, Karen Bass, Raul Ruiz, Pete Aquilar, Zoe Lofgren, Juan Vargas, Scott Peters, Doug Lamalfa, Lucille Allard, Julia Brownley, Paul Cook, Mark DeSaulneir, Norma Torres, Jeff Denham, David Valadao, Ton Cardenas, Jerry McNemey, Alan Lowenthal, Grace Napolitano, anice Hahn, Ken Calvert, and Jim Costa. I hope you all follow suit and send letters to all your congressman and complain about the waiting times. Hopefully we could get the government to step in and make some changes.

This part I agree with!

Although I think you are wasting your time and effort, more and more people are applying, yet the budget is limited

With the latest newsworthy event and what is happening in Senate I cannot see anymore budget sliding USCIS way!

I think the whole process is going to get tougher!!

Your PD is 2002? what happened?

Thank you everyone who has helped and sorry my initial post rambled somewhat so there was confusion over my partner's nationality.

Incredibly scared and impatient and overwhelmed but just wanting to be with the man I love.

The journey begins!

You'll be good, patience will be your friend, but it will happen

You'll get plenty of support on this site

You are a genius.

Your delay causes someone else calling in to wait while the operator deals with your game.

The system is slow and clogged up, you needlessly adding to it to satisfy your silliness is wasting time for others.

I said the same and my post was deleted, I wait for the mods to delete yours...........................

My partner is an American. His ex wife is the German. He is a USC, always has been.

Then you are good, you'll find many of us have followed exactly the same route, myself included

Good luck, and enjoy VJ there are some great people on here

But you are happy to allow a forum that the OP is directly subjecting the NVC to a level of abuse

Interesting

In California, you are supposed to apply for State D/L within 10 days of POE

Take that with a pinch of salt as you won't get a driving test that quick, but at least go tho the DMV and start the process

You drive carefully on your foreign license! If anything happens at least you can prove you started the process of State ID/DL

But ultimately as a LPR you need a US license

Sorry meant to say, yes you will get email saying case is complete very soon, then interview dates woo hoo nearly there

Then yes you are complete, it took 6 weeks before we heard about our date of interview, you are nearly there!!

Like I said be patient, you've done the hard bit

Have you submitted your DS-261 yet?

Its all a bit hit and miss with the whole process!

Although I went the IR-1 route it can be frustrating

At one point near the end of the process my wife phoned up the NVC about our interview date and they said, nothing left in September it will be October

So on that news my wife booked to come to the UK to see me, the day after she booked and paid we got an email saying our interview was 21st Sept!!

It took them 6 weeks to give me my date

Do you mean 3 N/A's?

Well it can take up to 6 weeks to schedule an interview, the ceac staus site (which is a bit rubbish) can show updated with no change of information

There is an email link on the Embassy site which they DO respond to, you won't get very far calling them

Just so you know my ceac staus showed AP, I've been in the USA 2 months now lol

How long since your medical?

A copy, why did you not send it in the first place?

My only advice is call them, and learn patience!

This is not a quick process and being apart for 12 weeks really is nothing

From filing to POE took me 14 months

As you can see I am from the UK too, just be patient, it WILL happen
