Those of you having a courthouse wedding or something similarly small, what do you plan to wear?  I can't decide if I actually want to buy a wedding dress or just something classy and nice.  I kind of want to wear a wedding dress for my fiance but the thought of strolling up to the courthouse in one makes me feel a bit

Hi March filers, 

A march filer/lurker/ whiner here I received my NOA2 today, just came of the phone with my fiancé whining about how many approvals I'm seeing on the forum and when I hung up he sent me a pic of the approval 🙈💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻. Those waiting and whining just know it's coming soooooon!

Congratulations!

Definitely! Share away!

So this is the method I used when I was putting our application together but I just tried it again and of course it's not working now.  It seems like maybe the format of the URL has changed for the part where you have to change the number.  I'll see if I can find more current instructions - https://fpt.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=4009492991518

Another option is to download your entire FB account (it's somewhere in settings) and then from there you can access a log of your messages and actually ctrl F and search for the month unlike in the messenger search.

The downside is that neither of these methods look like standard FB in terms of screen shots.

Does anyone know an easier way to get through FB messages? I'm trying to get to January of this year but there's so many messages and it's so long. I can't get to it and it will take about 3 hours of scrolling.  I've tried it on both my phone and web browser. The search function doesn't seem to work well on the browser and there isn't anything for FB messenger that I can see to search? Anyone have any advice?

Are we allowed to post links on here?  I found a way that is somewhat helpful when I was trying to get to older messages.

I managed to get myself locked out of the case tracker today.  I was playing around with various scans and guess I ran too many   I'm not likely to hear for another couple weeks though, so I'll survive a couple days without it. Heh.

Congrats to everyone who got approvals today.  I'm getting so anxious for them to get to the end of the March

Exact same situation here. Not sure if it's worth waiting in line to deal with the grumpy post office ladies... I go in there to send my sweetheart things and they're always in such terrible moods.

Weird isn't it?  I keep trying to figure out which question I'm answering "wrong" but I'm just baffled.  I'm like, I've never lived in any of these counties?!?  I've never lived on any of these streets?!?  Who does it think I am?  HA.

Oh you poor thing!! I have lived in Phoenix my entire life so sadly I'm way too used to the heat. Days like the ones we are having this week are impossible to ever get used to though, no matter how long you live here. My mom is from/lives in San Diego and had the nerve to complain to me about it being hot there (it was 85-ish I think)!! haha. That's surprising he can handle the heat better, but you'll see who really handles it better once he deals with it for an entire summer...that's when the patience really gets tested! Lol. 

Moving here right when summer was kicking off probably wasn't the smartest but that's just the way it worked out.  I was here last year visiting my mom when you had a week of record breaking heat (such good timing) so I know I'll survive the week at least.  Thank God for AC, ice cream, and pools - ha!  And yes, it'll be interesting to see who copes better after months of seemingly endless heat

Read some posts over the weekend about it being hot where people were. It's 115 degrees here today!! and tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 120 degrees. Is it possible to melt away?  Luckily where my fiance currently lives it is almost just as hot, but more humid...so the summer here will be manageable for him. 

I just moved to AZ a few weeks ago and I'm dying.  My fiance is from England so he's not used to it at all, but he was here just last week and somehow he seems to handle heat better than me even though I'm from California ?!?!  He lucked out there.  Ha!

Today's' frustration - I've tried to sign up for informed delivery three times now (had to wait three days between each) and it can't verify my identify.  Apparently I don't know my own background .  Don't even know if I want to bother with the in-person opt in.  Sigh.

In other news, hoping to see some more approvals for my fellow March filers this week!

Hi, we got our RFE in the mail today. As i shared previously, we had 3 unchecked boxes. The RFE doesn't address them but asks for a passport size photo of my fiancé. I also want to share some good news with the couples that are expecting an RFE (thinking they'll get one for an unchecked box). You might not get an RFE for that and your NOA2 might be on its way!

Ooo this gives me hope that my unchecked box may not be an issue.  Thank you!  Fingers crossed.  Hope you see a quick approval once they receive the new photo

They are human. Maybe the officer will miss it

It's easily fixed if they send you RFE 😉 Don't worry to much 

I know, I know.  I'd just love to jump straight to that approval!!  But hey, I would think an RFE creates a tad more work for the adjudicator so maybe, just maybe they'll opt for approval if that's the only thing wrong   *wishful thinking*

I was concerned we would get RFE for missing a box on G-325a,noticed my mistake day after sending off petition 😬 All that worry for nothing lol 😂 

I'll hang on to a shred of hope the person who looks it over turns a blind eye or doesn't notice   Seems silly to send an RFE for that when it's obvious by our application he has visited but I'll be expecting one anyway....

1 minute ago, KULtoATL said:

Hey not checking the box might lead to a RFE.

 

However, not stating how you met online is not an issue because Question 34a was asking about in-person meetings (you can refer to the new form as it specifically said that so you didn't do it wrong in the old form ) We only mentioned our in-person meetings and got the NOA2 just fine.

Thank you!!  That's all I thought it was asking but others here have indicated otherwise so I wasn't sure.  Now I really wish I hadn't missed that question.  Frustrating because we both looked over the form and managed to miss it.  D'oh!

@KULtoATL @Eric&Olya

I was already thinking we might get one because I didn't explicitly state how we met online (just talked about our in person meetings) but then I discovered we didn't check that box that others have mentioned about whether or not he's been to the US. They really need to move that question!  Sigh. 

Feeling so sad.  My fiance flew back home yesterday after a 10 day visit   I'm more eager than ever to have him here permanently but I know we'll be receiving an RFE.  I'm so bummed at the prospect of a delay rather than an approval.

Congrats to all the new NOA2 recipients today! I know when I come home from work and see 132+ new posts that it's been a great day in VJ land! I think @KozmicBlues and I are bringing up the tail end of the month. I look forward to experiencing the same wonderful emotions in a few more weeks!

I'm at the end of the month as well.  Exciting seeing so many get their approvals!

hey lovers any updates for anyone the website on USCIS says they are on December  

I don't know that anyone is running scans right now but the processing page on here does some approvals for February along with various from Jan and Dec still.  It's a mixed bag but we can be happy they're into February at least somewhat

It should be ok! A letter from the employer and maybe his rental contract.
He got his ticket back, that should be enough. 
I've read of many traveling during the visa process and not having problems.


I've packed my first box to ship! Just taped it! Hooray! So much anticipation looking at it!

Oh, that's a good idea!  He'll only be here for 10 days and it seems like people have more trouble when they're looking to stay longer, so I've got my fingers crossed he'll have no trouble.

Congrats on that first box!!!  The prospect of getting all moved in together is so exciting

Hi everyone!  My fiance will be coming for a visit in two weeks.  We were originally going to wait it out but with the time stretching out ahead and me moving into our new house, he decided to come for a visit and to help me get all moved in.  Anyway, I scanned him a copy of our K1 application and NOA1 as I haven't sent it yet and he got a letter from his employer.  Is this all he should need to get through border protection?

Thank you so much @Wuozopo !  That's very helpful. 

Hello,

I know there are a lot of threads on this but I would love if anyone could speak to my situation specifically.  I am considered self-employed (subcontractor) and make well above the poverty guidelines for my household size but last year I didn't so from a tax transcript standpoint I cannot show sufficient support.  I do have a chunk of money in savings.  Given that London is fairly easy on the support side of things, is there any chance I could show sufficient support on my own with proof of my deposits for this year and a letter from the bank? 

Assuming it's not, my mother is willing to co-sponsor but I'm then wondering if it's enough to just get pay stubs and tax transcripts from her in addition to what I would have to  show?  I'd rather not make her get the letter from her employer and bank if she doesn't have to, as I already hate asking her of this at all.

Thank you for any input

Do we have any idea why those cases, which are pretty sporadic, would be getting RFEs before they've really started touching March?  Just curious!

Also thank you so much for the scans @CubaAndChill!

Is anyone else getting super discouraged by reading the Jan/Feb threads!? Everyone has been waiting SO long and I am already at the point where I feel like I can't wait any longer even though it's barely been a month since I filed. July seems like soooo far away and now I'm starting to question if we will even see many approvals in July based on the way things are currently going with CSC. It's really taking every bit of strength I have to not just give up and go move to be with my fiance right now!  But I know as soon as I get there we would receive an approval, that's just the way life works. Lol. Maybe I just need to force myself to take a break from checking this website until July so I can find a way to distract myself from the anticipation of our approval. 

I actually stepped away a bit because I was making myself crazy reading so many different opinions on things for the next steps and seeing so many people still waiting and running across threads on AP   Time has been going faster for me the less I've obsessed, but I think it will be harder to stay away when approvals for March eventually start rolling in

Hi guys.

Am I the only one who has this annoying feeling that I'll be receiving an rfe? 

I met my fiance online and we never included the terms of service from the website. I emailed their customer service to ask if they have any proof they're not an international marriage broker, and they said they're not. So, I'm trying to collect all this info just in case we get an rfe. 

1 and a half month left, I guess, till we hear from USCIS! 

 

I realized after I sent mine I didn't even explicitly state how we met online.  I thought they just wanted details on our in person meetings, so I focused on that.  Won't be surprised if I get one
