Oasis

my petition was returned cause the consul thinks we dont have a valid relationship. I been with my fiance 2 years.. visit brazil 3 times.. and we pretty much "lived" together in the US. I had a truckload full of proof that the consul did not even want to look at. Anyway. thats my story.

Thanks Kenny for hanging in there with us I am just starting to get a little inpatient cause this is my second round

no silly they dont count how many times you check. If thats the case they would have banned me a long time ago.

Yes I hope I hear something soon, when its the second time around like me, you get just a little inpatient.. lol.

I hope you hear something soon too..... please keep me posted

YES. Wake up VSC.

Ryna.. Nothing happening... besides that I am stalking uscis.gov and the mailman. Where is our NOA2.

I dont understand... cause I had a touch, and got all excited and now... nothing..

great news Eliza :)now let me see if I been touched again. lol

I hope so too that this is out week cause I am on my second leg. Its my second time around.... and I am getting just a little antsy over here.

I can only log on to the uscis.gov so many times a day.

Ohh I did call VSC on Friday, they could not tell me anymore then I already know.

how many of us are left from April ?

yes look at my timeline... you get the idea ;(

mine took 3 months too. very frustrating.

No Ryna. Ohhh the minute I hear I will be posting here.

I am a little worried about my NOA2 since the liason merged our petitions together and there is a huge about of evidence in the second petition.

I hope this is not holding VSC up from approving my case again so I can move forward.

Ryna, I think there are also some cases from March.. correct me if I am wrong. Trying to be strong and positive but sometimes it gets difficult for me.

great news everyone. congrats.

Getting a senator involved will not do much good. All they do is inquire about the case.

Our attorney was fighting pretty hard for our petition to stay at the consulat but the consulat was pretty stuborn and sent it back to VSC. It took 3 months to get back.

We have since refilled.

ok there seems to be something not right in Vermont.

Why is it that my case was mailed on April 21 and people that applied in June already got their NOA2's. Sorry to say this but I find it a bit unfair. It should go in order.

When I called th VDC thats what they told me that you need to withdraw it - and I spoke to someone higher up.

The petition will never be "dead" it will always be there and I am sure you get questioned about it.

Consult with an attorney thats my best advice.

A waiver ? 601 waiver ? has your fiance ever been in the us illegally ?

Also, just because you are denied that does not mean you can ignore this petition. You actually need to write to the VSC and withdraw it. ( thats what the VSC told me ) and the denied petition should also be adressed in the new petition or whatever you are filling cause I am pretty sure they will question you about it on the next interview.

Getting married it not the answer either... that does not make it go any faster or easier. In my opinion they are going to ask you why you did not refile K1, why did you get married ?

sooo, I had a touch on 7.16... I was so excited but I have not seen anything happening since then. no second touch, no noa2 in the mail... What could this mean ?

My first petition has been expired a long time ago. But you need withdraw before you refile

The merging was done by my attorney and someone from VSC.

She thought it was best not to withdraw our first petition that way they cant sent it back again. So both petition will be hopefully going back to Rio.

yayy

I am sorry to hear about your returned petition. Refile, do what you need to do.

My petition also got returned and the conul suggested for the petition to be revoked.. cause we dont have a real relationship.. WTH... then he slapped us with 212(a)5(a)

It took like 3 months for the petition to actually made it back to VSC... since then we were able to refile and merged the 2 petitions. Urhghgh

yes praying for all of you and that my "2 petitions" make it back to Brazil soon.

yea I am still waiting for magic updates too...

asmik... I am only been "touched" so no NOA2 yet.

The interview should be the easiest, yeaa thats what I thought.

I been with my fiance going on 2 years. When we went to the consulate in Rio, I was more then prepared, brought my evidence etc.

My fiance did not answer the questions right, he was not thinking before speaking etc... he was just blabbering around when they asked him: tell me about your fiance. I think he was just scared and nerveous. I am also 8 years older then my fiance and his english is not the greatest. So I think these were the red flags for me. The consul thought we dont have a real relationship and returned our first petition with a recomendation to have it revoked. It took 3 months for the petition to get back to the VSC but I have also since refilled.

My 2 petitions have been merged together and hopefully VSC is sending them both down there.

So for all of you that are complaining that it takes so long, why have I not gotten my NOA2 .. its been 3 months... take a look at my timeline and think how long I have been waiting !!!!!

thanks.

I have been "touched" today - hopefully this is a good sign and my petitions are moving considering the battle that I have been thru.
