Its so disheartening when someone who has a scan date after your scan date gets a case complete before you. I am happy for you guys, but sad at the same time. None of us want to be away from our loves ones.

hey! i'm there with you!!! Our time will come, lets be strong and hopeful and fight til the end! I'm doing everything possible to get that case complete, just finished contacting my congressman who's willing to help with my case, so im hopeful

Keep us updated! Would like to know what happens. Good luck to you and your wife!

Hi It takes 30-45 days I'm on day 31 as of today. I am going to say of July 1st hit with no answer I will call. It should not be much longer

My first scan date it took them 45 days to reply with a RFE. They said our AOS wasn't signed, which of course was!

Our scan date was April 18, 2016. 45 days later I called them for an update. My case automatically put into Supervisor review because it wasn't touched

I think I lucked out with whomever got hands on our case....

Is anybody here still in NVC? I'm scared to be in there as long as I been in USCIS

My first scan date was MARCH 28TH, while i was expecting to get a cc on APRIL 28TH, I didnt. On MAY 2ND, wify called and told me we got a checklist on passport bio data page. It was immediately sent back and we got a second scan date on MAY 5TH. While i was still waiting and hoping to get a cc on JUNE 5TH, I didnt. My question was "what could be wrong again?". At 1:00am Nigeria time on JUNE 10TH, I got a call from wify again. What is it this time?........ It was a CC along with a P4. My interview is scheduled for JULY 8TH at 7:45am in LAGOS NIGERIA. We are in this together, and must all sail through.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I'm still here at NVC stage since Feb!

I hope with this long wait my hubby can have at least an early interview like you...

What does NVC say when you call and ask about your case?

They always say wait 6 weeks from the time they received it. When I reminded the guy it already passed the time frame he put in me on supervisor review. That was June 3. I'm not going to wait for 30-45 days to get feedback for a sent RFE for corrections on AOS. So I will do as much as possible to get things moving.

You'd do better calling NVC and your Congressperson. I see your timeline says you sent in the packages in February. Did it take two months to get a scan date or was there a checklist (or two?) between there?

yes, i call them everyday but I see it as pointless that they just tell me that it's still under process. I called them, I talked to a supervisor who said will call me back when she gets any news of my case. I email them, i receive a standard answer of 30 days from case received. I had a checklist and they received it April 18.

Have you been calling them everyday if needed? Asked to speak with a supervisor?

I call them every day and talked to a supervisor who said she'll check my case and call me back when she has any news. I'll just talk to a supervisor everyday. Seems like the best idea. Written to Congress already. I hope SOMETHING happens soon!! Missing my hubby

At this point the best thing to do is nag and annoy them every other day

April 18 was my scan date yet everyone one else is getting approved. I haven't gotten approval nor did I get a REF. I written to my congressman. I hope something happens

Then its May 9 ?

Thank You. Please don't lose hope you will get through this soon ? God is there!

Please pray for me!!!

Seeing Affidavit of Support Fee N/A so total 3 N/As. If this is CASE COMPLETE we made it. Im just crying yet havnt called NVC to confirm. Can't believe. Thought will see PAID before going to sleep. God is there. Thank You everyone for helping us through.

Congratulations!!!!

Fxl,

The article my wife posted isn't about us. Just something she wanted to post here and talk about, but since you asked...

We take turns with everything. Since we're both working and have kids in the house, it's a joint effort on both parts. Sometimes she asks if I can get the kids since she's had a hard day and I'm like sure. If I'm tired, she'll let me rest while she cooks and cleans and vice versa for her when she's tired. If one can't do, the other picks up the slack, it's how we handle things.

Hi FxL and welcome!

I am posting an article I found online, so no, this is not our personal situation. Over here in Current Events and Hot Social Topics we post articles we find articles online and discuss them.

For my personal situation, our kids are big, Marv has two, 16 & 13, they live in Germany and I have two, 15 & 11 and they live with us. Marv and I both work so we have attempted to split things down the middle as much as possible, but there are somethings I just won't let him do, iron his clothes for the week and hang up clothes after they've been washed and clean our bedroom.

The kids clean their own room, bathroom and the kitchen and help me with the living room, Marv washes and dries clothes, I clean the restroom and he does trash. Hehehe

Now, if we decide to bring a little one into the house, he knows to take on a little more responsible. This is our arrangement and I'm grateful he'd compromised because some men are stubborn on gender roles.

OH OK! Sorry about that!

I also won't let my hubby iron clothes, ANYMORE.

So why are these common issues amongst women? Give me your opinion please

When I lived in the Philippines and my husband and I moved into our own place, my husband was really messy. His family grew up with so many helpers (yayas) to wash his clothes, clean up after him, cook for him, etc. So I ended up having to pick up his clothes on the floor, throw away his garbage he left laying around, etc. I talked to him about how frustrating it is, and I remind him every time to mind his mess because I don't want to just be the one cleaning all the time. It was communication, putting my frustration and annoyance aside and talked to him and he'd do the same for me. In the mornings, afternoon, and evenings he'd have to cook and he got tired - he told me about it and taught me to cook so I can cook when he's to exhausted to from work.

OP, can I ask, did you talk to him about how you felt working and then going home to do all the cleaning and taking care of the kids by yourself? I'm not judging you, just wondering.

Called NVC and it said under process. Who knows what that means ??? exactly

It could mean they haven't reviewed your case yet. You're still in line....

Just have patience and don't let them put you under supervisor review. Now, that I'm in supervisor review and been reading around VJ about it, it's not advisable

Would you allow your boyfriend to marry his children's mother? I would think not......

Work visa or her children petition her when they're older as stated above.

Better opportunities. Nurses in the Philippines are paid minimum wage to absolute nothing. Actually nurses sometimes need to pay the hospital to get experience.

I know exactly what you mean...on my way home from work today I almost broke down because I started thinking about how much longer this process has but I pulled myself together cause if I started crying I probably won't have stopped. I just pray it doesn't take much longer cause my body literally feels drained!

I've broken down and been crying everyday, I've been in NVC since Feb. Since me last scan date on April 18, nothing has been happening to my case. Just yesterday the guy I was on the phone put me on supervisor review and to call back in 45 days or resend the IV and AOS package again. I can't stop crying

Is it a bad thing to be put in supervisor review?

So my 2nd scan date: April 18. Passed 30 days, passed 15 day window, passed 6 weeks for review. Just talked to the representative and he just put me under "supervisor review". He said it'll take another 6 weeks! Does it really??

This is heartbreaking! What do should I do?!

Hey there! Best wishes for all of you in this new month.

We got our case number on may 27th and we already filled the ds261 form, but we aren't able to pay the AOS fee a red box pops up mentioning the case termination... Do we have to wait or should we call nvc?

I've seen that many others had happened to them.

yeah call NVC

Now June month to wait for Case Complete and hopefully not another RFE for hubby and me. I hope all of us here hear good news this month

I pray for all those expecting CC this week to keep thanking God cos it is done. My second scan date was May 5th. Let all those due for CC this week begin to claim it with faith. Goodluck to all of us, we will all cross the bridge. Amen.

I've been due for CC for weeks already. thank you for your prayer!

You still l have to fill up the 1-864 with a letter stating you were in school the past 4 years and find someone else who can also help support your other half

So I've been waiting for feedback from NVC (the glorious word:case complete) since April 18, my scan date. Does it just depend on the hands your case lands on of the length of time you have to wait?? Why is mine taking longer than other? Plus, they give me no detail on my case other than "Its still under review."

This topic boils my blood but I can't stop reading this.

He decides to be with this 68 year old man he just met online to be with him or to get a green card?

Which is the more obvious?

Good day everyone!

i would like to share our story first before I proceed to my concerns and hopefully you can enlighten me regarding my concerns.

I and my fiance Gary met through an online gay dating site (gaycupid.com) we had our first contact around second week of october.

Since then, we did not stopped talking to each other. we never stop talking like as if our time now is just to talk to each other as we are both talkative and we share same interest and we never run out of topic to talk about which i think is really such a strong connection for both of us.

Moving on, after some time of talking to each other, He decided to meet me around second week of January 2016 and he also met some of the other guys he was considering to have as a boyfriend. (yup, that's totally okay with me since I think that is ideal)

Before he goes back to US, he finally made his decision of choosing me because he said we have a strong connection and that there is a spark when we were together compared to the other guys he have met during his time visiting here. Our time being together was two days, but it was more like just a day since we've met in January 14, 2016 around 2:00 Pm until January 15, 2016 3:00 PM so I guess it was just a day. Then there goes my concern.

My concern is that, we've only had a day or two being together. I was really concerned that the CO might find it not convincing that we have a bonafide relationship. We have 5 pictures together, but I feel like knowing that we've only had a day or two being together makes me wonder about our situation. Has anyone been through this situation before? I would really appreciate the response I would get from you guys.

With our petition, Gary provided ample evidence like, gaycupid.com is not an international marriage broker site. also, he stated on the form that we've only met for two days. Maybe I am just too concerned about it and Gary always remind me that it's okay and not to worry. we use the service of RapidVisa, but I kind of have doubts with their service as I saw some errors with what they did previously and that I needed to double check everything of what they did. I highly respect RV and what they do, nor do I try to ruin their reputation though.

Also, Gary is retired. I am currently 24 years old and he is 68, I saw some post here during their interview, the CO told them that they are just after the VISA and it was also because of the age gap. Of course, I think I could not explain my self if they say the same thing to me for I am not after the visa. If same sex marriage is allowed here, then I don't see myself applying for k-1 visa just to get married to my Gary.

What are the necessary documents that he needs to send me since he is retired already?

Thank you so much for taking time to read our story and for future help. i would appreciate it so much.

also, it is my first time to post so my topic might be out of place in the forum.

Thanks again,

Kimberly

I don't think the USCIS will accept your K1 visa since Philippines does not recognize same sex marriage. I read it somewhere, can someone site it?

Congratulations on winning the gaycupid bachelor !

God bless.
