I know what you mean... I dont get to see my fiance often enough, and have only seen our 2 year old son twice in person. Luckily get to see them both everyday online.
Can you image this without technology?
i would not have been able to do it withouth.

it feels so unfair sometimes, when i see couples together that are just terrible to eachoher and they get to live with aechother and ruin a bunch of children together, and they dont have to justify themselfs to anyone, they dont even have to love eachother. just becasue they are in the same country.
But all of us have been needing to justify and defent our relationships to poeple we dont even know. we get judged and interegated even when we just want to visit eachother. we have to jump trough so many hoops and in the end we are at the mercy of others, we have almost no controle. and it feels teriible.
but sadly they do have reason to not just let everyone move where they want. and having boardes and fighting for those baorders goes back far, and it will stay that way untill far in the furure, so in the end we have no choice but eccept. -

The issue is, every time I call, I get a different answer. That doesn't hold water in this situation.
i really untherstand what you are saying, i just want to adress that in our position it can be hard to see there are always two sides to things. and most people are just trying to get tough the day and do it in a way they think is the right way to do it. im not saying its right, but it does not make them bad poeple.

your case should be at the NVC now you can call them to get your case number and track when they sent it to the ambassy.
Or you can wait untill you ge a letter from the embassy in UAE to make an appointment for the ambassy interview. It cant hurt to take a look at the UAE embasy website. i put a link below for yourambesy to the page for the fiance visa. there you can find everything on how to scedual yur interview and what paperwork to get ready. some of this paperwork like police record can take a wile to get, so it cant hurt to start collecting the paperwork that you can already. -
i think it is inportent to remember that in almost every company and specially big goverment companys. it can be really dificult to fix problems. and completely seperated from the fact if that is right or wrong or how it should go, you can bet that most people working at the USCIS are not in a position to do anything about it. They are not bad people just people doing there job. and having to work day in day out with a lot of unsatisfied costemers, that does not sound like a very nice job to me.
these people are not our enemy, even though it feels like that a lot of the time. I think it is inportent to remember that if you are angry , by angry at the situation, not the person delivering the news, even if that news is not true, they might not have a choice. and there just thinking about getting trough the day and going back to there famely to. most people at there job just do what they are toltr because they dont want to risk losing there job and have people depening on them. we cant blame them for that.- calahjosh931, Foxrup, FindHerKeepHer and 1 other

Please correct me if I am wrong. The next stage after NOA2, is NVC receive and that takes X amount of days for the receive to happen. The clock for X amount of days starts ticking as soon as they approve the petition, right? So if I get a letter today saying I was approved on 5/8, I am already 7 days into it?
makes sence to me

Because they can ask the question, they dont need to have an explanation as to why. Off course its to help them decide if you are an overstay risk.
Just answer the questions honestly.
And why would it be cheaper if he books the ticket? Surely the price is the same, regardless of the name of the person paying, unless he gets a discount?
no discound, i dont untherstand why its more expensive either. they say because my billing adress is in the netherlands they change it to euros and then they want to charge 1300 euros wile in dollars wit ha us biling adress it is 990 dollars, so that should be like 900 euros.
and its even to a international card from master card, so i tolt them =they can just charge my card in dollars and it would be no problem, but they sayd there system does not allow that at united.
but i gladly pay extra if it saves me from a dinial reson. so i was just wandering if you guys think i should just book it myself to be shure. my plan was never to lie about it. but just not let him pay if it makes it more difficult.
so that is wat im asking will him buying my tiket make them see me as an overstay risk, would it be saver for me to just pay extra and book it myself?

Just tell the truth. It doesn't matter who bought the ticket, usually. With that said, be prepared to be asked about your K-1 case, and have strong ties (and evidence of said ties) back to the Netherlands — there's a much higher chance you may be sent home, but it's not impossible to visit.
thank you. if he boks the tiket is much cheaper then if i book trough united, but if its extra trouble at the boarder i just pay extra and book myself. i was thinking maybe because with the b2 they wan to know if you have mony to spend in the US and have a good income. so i want to know if anyone knows why they ask that question.

Hi im planning a trip to viset my fiancee wile waiting for our k1 to come trough on a B2 visa. i want to know if it matters if he pays for my tiket with his card? becasue i always get that quetsion at the boarder if i payed for my own tiket and i dont know why they ask this.

Whatever you do, do not say you intend to work or school at the interview. That's one of the trick questions that they ask. Say that you have no current intent to work or go to school. Your moving to get married.
It's a lie, but they could fail you for telling the truth.
9 minutes ago, dbmathis said:It's not a lie. Even if it was, it can't be proven. It's like asking someone if they plan to have a steak for dinner. You say whatever you want. You don't have to reveal anything that you don't want to reveal. The ONLY reason they would ask these questions, are to determine if you have reasons other than marrying your partner for coming to the USA. If you answer it with "Yes, I am planning to go to school, etc", then be prepared for a possible rejection.
You worry about what you think is good advice, and I will do the same.
I think we extually have the same opinion omn this matter in your 1st post however you do use give the advice to lie. and i disacree with that part. I think you maybe mena it differently as it sounds now and that was just a poor choice of words that some popele could interpert in the wroong way. apart from that i very much respect your posts and opinions and personally think you giv very good advice.
just tell it in a way that sounds good and is not a lie. and i think that is also what you mean.
but in your 1st post you use the words it is a lie, and that is not good. -

The point is, they ask very specific questions for different situations. All designed to get information from you. If they ask you the work or school questions, in this case, say exactly what my lawyers says to say. That is if you want to get approved and be with your loved one. If you feel like it's a lie (which is really isn't and can't be proven), then take the risk. I will not be risking it, and I don't recommend that anyone else risk it either.
It might be good for you. but dont say as advise lie about it. becasue if a nervuers poerson feels nevues about telling something that they consider a lie then you can be the reaosn for there deniel. becasue they look like there lying when they feel like there lying. and then you get misrepresentation with is the nr1 reason for visa denials.
if you can say that with a straight face and feel ok about that then that is fine for you.
But maybe someone that does have a interview for a job lined up already then they cant give that answer your saying.
saying lie is just not good advise. maybe say dont tell them everyting and be selective in how you tell things. -

I'm telling you, it's a trick question. Whether or not a person plans to go to school or not when they get into the USA can't be proven and they don't care if it can be proven in the first place. The entire question is designed to expose people who are using a K1 visa as a way to go to a school in the USA. It's not bad advice at all, in fact in comes from an immigration lawyer with 20 years experience and a Ph.D from Yale. However, if you want to risk going all the way through the process only to get rejected at the end because you think it's fraud, be my guest. It's actually the fraud of using a K1 visa to get into the USA for a school that they are looking for. It's the reason why the question is being asked in the first place. They are not asking these things for friendly conversation.
Here's exactly what my lawyer said (also note that it is not a lie in the way that you answer):
"The following two questions are also sometimes asked:
7. Do you intend to work in the U.S.? Answer: "I have no specific intention to work."
8. Do you intend to go to school in the U.S.? Answer: "I have no specific intention to attend school."
These answers are correct since you do not have work lined up and have not been accepted to any school. Your purpose in coming to the U.S. is to marry your fiancé, and then apply for your Green Card. "
if that is the truth that is fin to say, you dont need to tell them avrything and just make it clear that your mail reason is becasue you love your fiancee. but to tell poeple to lie that is still ba advise. like i says jhust tell the truth in a way that sounds good. but flat out lying that is never a good idea for immegration. And if you ahv it in yoiur haed that you are telling a lie, and your not good at lying then you will look like your lying, and officers are trainnined to see that.

Hey guys! I've been lurking in here for the past months, I am a January filer (NOA1:Jan 24) and as many others, haven't heard anything yet. My fiancee is actually active military and just got back from deployment but since we are not in a rush, we didn't want to expedite it.
That is until now
Seeing how nothing has been happening past 2 weeks, we want to send in an expedite request next week. Does anyone know how we can do that?
Thanks and good luck to everyone!hi yes all you nee dto do is call the miletary line
military and their families: 877-CIS-4MIL (877-247-4645)
Then give thm your case number tell them you wnat to expedite, they will sent you a letter over the mail with wat you need for your expedite. we had just done this a few weeks ago.
Then you will need to gte a copy of your miltary orders, of your miletary ID, and a letter from your commander were it stated why you need to be expedited, we are hoping to get it becasue David is going on a lot of long trainings in the comming times and that makes him unavalable for uscis. but you do need some kind of reason, ususally deployment sometimes you will get it for trainiung. you dont get expedited just becasue you are milletary, but you cna always try.

Why not? Could they deny the K1 visa based on that? I know the intention is to marry once you arrive within 90 days, but why can't you tell them your plans? Learning alot on this website that will help along the way, thank you everybody. We hope to get the NOA2 soon 😌
if they as tell them never lie bad advice. not smart to say you wnat to go to the us to study or work because they might see that as the reaosn fo you to get married. but if your plan is to start working or study and they ask you directly dont lie, just make shure they know ithat is not the reaosn for your marrrige. but any lie to an officer is froud

Ah thank you ! Of course I want to marry my girlfriend to be with her but you're right I didn't think of this.
dont lie, if they dont ask about it you dont ahve to tell them, but dont lie, that is always a bad idea and any lie to an offficer is froud. and cancost you your immegration rights years later, if they found out you intentianlaly misrepresented something.

Yeah, that lottery thing is what I am betting on. I have suspected it ever since they posted up the public announcement. My guess is that they are playing catch up and things may normalize over the next week or so.
yeh and just becasue we are still getting RFEsmeans there still working on it so that means to me tehe are also aprovals, becasue you dont know a cas needs an RFE withouth looking at it. makes no sence to look at a case not aprove it just do proces it again later. taht would just be extra work, an i dont think they would do that, its just not beeing updated or sent out yet.

Could be, but not hearing many people here saying they were approved does not support that theory. Let's hope for a flood of approvals soon anyway, because snail mail takes time.
yeh the mailing takes them about 7-10 days so it still fals with in that i think, and there mailing out all the lottery losers this week with are millions.
