I'm the sponsor, not the beneficiary. Actually, we both suffered very difficult deaths in our immediate families during our time apart, so this has a different layer of difficulty to it. We watched in horror as our loved ones slipped away but couldn't physically support each other at the time because of stringent visa policies and other extenuating circumstances. When you watch your 23 year old sister die from brain cancer in a matter of months, it can ignite the kind of existential panic that makes you depressed over a visa and wedding. 

 

I'm trying to plan a small wedding of 50 family members/friends in order to welcome my "beneficiary" into the family. Having a small wedding is an important part of having our marriage socially recognized and respected. 

My fiance and I did try to expedite our case because her mom wants to meet me in person before she dies. Unfortunately, they didn't approve our request. She just died 2 weeks ago due to lung cancer. It is so unfair because she was vegetarian, non smoker, and no other risk factor that we can associate to her condition. Even I wasn't there, I know that she is a good person, my fiance loves her so much. I saw her deteriorating for just 7 months of time. My fiance was about to breakdown and so as I because her mom was just in his house couple weeks ago, but now he is all alone, so instead of complaining, we are looking for ways how to cope up. I do feel you. Im sorry for your lost.

They were celebrating it alone or in someone else's arms before.  I'm sure they'll live.  

We did celebrate Christmas together last year via skype, and so frustrating that we are gonna do same thing this year. Flying here is darn expensive so i dont want to tolerate it.

~~moved to progress from process and procedures.  Topic is not asking about the K1 process.~~

 

We didn't do a big wedding even for our CR1 and I'm glad.  All the money we saved was great.

 

I know people in Colorado who've just married themselves and had a party at their favourite brewery.  Seems like a great way to go vs stressing over some ceremony and reception. 

my fiance is from colorado, im dreaming for a winter wedding. 

This is true, we dont know what kind of life we're gonna have in USA, so it is better to enjoy the rest of our days (beneficiaries) with our family because this life that we choce has no turning back. We should be thankful instead of whinning because this is an opportunity for us already to derive an advantage from something that others are having difficulty to achieve. I am a whinner myself, but i got tired of it, tired of waiting and checking every single morning as possible. Besides, Christmas is something hard to give up, knowing that your fiance is going to celebrate it alone. Having high hopes isn't bad, but being anxious is terrible. So, my advice is to just think positive, and you arent the only one who is suffering.

Can USCIS lose the evidence you sent them? Because in the RFE they're asking for stuff we ALREADY provided...

 

It is expected to happen.

Miracles do happen....can't have wedding plans because of this uncertainty...going to the courthouse to marry..thank God my princess understands...I gave up on Christmas as the embassy in Manila is usually a 52 day wait..I hope your embassy is not as busy. I pray, pray, pray, and PAY...I love how they cashed my check so fast but can't take a looksie at our application before 170 days....ugh...Hang in there, and know I pray for all May filers to be graced with the golden ticket.

Im sorry for your frustrations. My fiance and I planned a courthouse wedding as well because of this uncertainty, We will do the big wedding by next year, that way my family could come. I gave up Christmas too cause there was this applicant who took a print screen of oct-dec interview dates showing nov is already fullybooked, whereas for dec, there are 10-15 as far as i remember.

Hey Congrats. So happy for the 2 of you.

That is just crazy though approved 17 days ago  and just found out now.

Had you ever called Tier 2 since 10/10?

Get going on that DS-160

NVC should have your case number already call Monday morning.

 

Steven.

Hey Guys!! I was finally able to talk to Tier 2 today! He said everything looks fine with my case. When I asked him approximately how much longer it will take for me to get approved , he said 3-4 weeks!!! I am soo sad and frustrated! 😞😞😞😞😞 171 days and counting 

That's what they say to my fiance. They are just giving us the maximum time to wait, that way we are not gonna bug them every now and then. 

May 10 NOA1 here. still waiting, they skipped our number. Please pray for us, my fiance really need me now most. His mom just died due to cancer.
