Kwiecia

My husband and I met through an online game and we just got approved, my visa is on the way. It does not matter how you met, what matters to them is how much time you have seen each other and spent together. What country are you from?

I met my husband in an online game. But we had 2 (now 3 visits) in total 10 months together in real life. 

This whole situation looks very suspicious, to say the least no matter your intentions.

That’s incredibly offensive. 

 

First of all, people do what they need to do for survival. Fortunately, I have never been in that position and for that, I am lucky. I am in no position to judge. They are very good people.

 

Second of all, if you have ever lived in NYC, you’ll realize how many people do this. Many people keep it under wraps, but it’s seriously like every third person you meet. It is also prevelant in the bar and restaurant industry, which is what I worked in through college and for a while after. 

 

My choices are not their choices. I’m more than privledged to come from a middle class family in a safe neighborhood where i have never been threatened. I’ll never truly know what it is like to be in their shoes. My husband came on the K1 legally so that’s proof that we make different choices. Do I know where to get a fake SSN? Yes, of course. Everyone in NYC does. Is my husband patiently waiting for his EAD card for month #5? Yes, he is. He could have easily began months ago. But my husband had an “in”  by marrying me. People I know do not have that option. 

 

You have absolutely no place to judge. 

The fact that many people do it doesn't mean that it's by any means right or LEGAL.

Hey there,

so I have (for example) my marriage termination which is in Polish and the sworn translation. How should I upload it to NVC at the CEAC?

So far I have uploaded it as:

-  Marriage Termination Documentation (Polish version)

- Translation (sworn translation)

But maybe I should put it like this:

- Marriage Termination Documentation (Polish version)

- Marriage Termination Documentation (translation) + comment it's a translation.

Please advise me.

Best regards,

A

She would either fall under #4 or #5, depending on if she's under 21 or not.

 

From the I-864 instructions (https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-864instr.pdf😞

"Item Number 4. Type or print the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21 years of age, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your Federal income tax returns.

 

Item Number 5. Type or print the number of any other dependents. You must include each and every person whom you have claimed as a dependent on your most recent Federal income tax return, even if that person is not related to you. Even if you are not legally obligated to support that person, you must include the person if, in fact, you did support that person and claimed the person as a dependent."

As for number 4: It's says "unmarried children you have". His sister is not his child. So she can't be over there. Unless it means you have in the household?

After about 10 phone calls to USCIS, checking case status every hour, refreshing email, checking my texts, and contacting congressman we were finally approved from Texas Service Center on the 20th of August after a 248 day wait. No RFE just straight approval, but 248 DAYS! I feel very happy but i can't help but feel slightly angry seeing all these cases that were filed MONTHS after mine getting approved. My case had reached "outside of normal processing time" and when i called to fill out an inquiry with a Tier 1 agent i was told that my case was approved. If anyone is in a similar situation i highly suggest checking the processing times on the USCIS website, if your case has been pending for about 7 months without an RFE more than likely its heading towards approval, at least in my experience.

I have waited for 224 days so you are not the only one that waited longer than most people here.

If you are submitting anything to NVC or filling in DS 260, then use your new passport details otherwise just bring both passport during the interview and they will use your new passport to update your info in their system.

What if I will change my last name on my spouse's name after the interview is scheduled and I will have a new name for everything? Will this be a problem? Or should I just take new documents with translations and everything to the interview?

Do they basically make you take your spouse's name?

I would send the application ASAP and the moment he will get deployment order, send that to USCIS or NVC depending on which stage you guys will be on to expedite the case.

You know, I'm with you, and I certainly understand your frustrations. We all are frustrated and we all miss our loved ones. The reality is, every case is individual. Depending on country of origin, background check, expedited cases, evidence sent in, ask of these things and more come into play with each single petition. They tell us it can be up to a year before approved and estimated dates and time frames are just that, estimates. We all knew this going into this process, that it is an awful wait. The fact is we have no choice but to be patient. Being bossy and putting people down for offering kind words of encouragement is not the way to support people in their own journey. The fact that someone says anything positive is nice and I appreciate every kind word of encouragement and support that is given. I rarely comment but you offended me by berating others who are simply trying to help pass this grueling time with kind words. Have a nice day.

"I am offended" in other words mean "I don't like what you said" these days. 

But two can play this game. I am offended because you found my comment offensive.

You can find a list of petitions being processed here:

Just choose Potomac under service center. You'll see the recent approvals, which include cases from Aug through Dec. Be patient... we'll get there!  

You know, it's hard to be patient seeing everyone around being approved but not yourself. I'm from December and January are getting approvals. This is just annoying and simply unfair to the people who applied and are waiting for their turn. So telling us to be patient while we are clearly just bypassed is a stretch.

I'm sorry you got into Potomac, they are slow as hell! And it's just as unfair for you guys to be thrown back couple months behind compared to the other service centers.

So to sum it all up. Guys, stop telling people to be patient. It's only making us upset. We have one life and we are forced to live it apart from the people we love.
