Kelsjoh or something. they are from Loveland. try to find them in this thread

Prepare yourselves. here comes an epic rant...
 
Getting so frustrated with these government agencies.
 
So a week and a half ago, my wife and i went to a credit union to open a joint checking account. joint accounts are a good idea for interviews. shows you are true.
we went to the credit union. supplied our required documents, electric or gas bill, cant remember which one with both our names on the account and so forth.
after about 25 minutes, they said we could not open the account jointly because her ss card(with her married name), does not match her passport. 
my wife can't get a drivers license yet, so they suggested we get a state ID with her married name on it.
 
My wife goes to the dmv a week ago. brings all necessary papers and documents. dmv confirms that everything she brought is what was needed. take her picture, Then they state that they need to verify something with the ss office. they call ss and cant get the information, because ss can't look it up on their data base that day. my wife is instructed to check save.uscis.gov/casecheck over the next couple of days to see the status of this identification card case. the dmv worker said, "when the checkmark appears and tells you to come back, comeback, and we can get you your ID. 
for those who do not know, it will have a icon of a clock while they are working on the case/case under review, and a checked box when it has been returned to the agency. in this case, the dmv. 
 Monday evening, we checked, and the site said, case returned to the agency. so, as the dmv worked said, this mean to come back to the dmv.
my wife dropped me off at work today(she drives using an international drivers license), and went to the dmv.
waited 2 1/2 hours today just to have them tell her, her case is not ready...
#######!
 
dmv says, yes, even though your case states that information has been sent back to us(the agency), they have not reviewed anything. and she should check the website for when it has been reviewed so she can come back(wait half the day again) and get her ID. 
the site does not provide this information to my knowledge, only, "case under review,", and "case returned to agency. 
So how the F are we supposed to check?
dmv then says, or wait for an email to say your case is ready...
Who's going to email us? the dmv? she didnt provide an email.
 
all this just to get a bank account to help with her eventual interview. 
also, she had a difficult time getting her ss card too. 
 
its just been a pain in the butt. why can't things just run smoothly. stupid bureaucratic garbage faces
 
GRRRRRR. I need a lullabye before i tear through my clothes and turn green

Good for you Boris. We sent ours out around the same time. but we got a request for initial evidence a few weeks ago

I just noticed you are in Loveland.  Can you drive up 287 to ft.collins and get a Schlotzskys for me?

10 days since receiving our noa1 letters, still no biometric mail

my old aussie shepherd(blue heeler) did ok when moving from a warmer climate. i think the transition from summer to fall to winter helped. the gradual weather change seemed to help her ease in to it.

i am not.
so i called again and they transferred me to a different department. Where they stated they understood the situation and told me to fill out and email a form and attach our marriage certificate. so i did...
 the next day, they emailed me back and said they could not accept the scan of our marriage certificate because it does not state that the marriage was recorded with the State, only the county...B.S
 there are 3 or 4 places on the certificate that says "the state of Idaho"
I emailed them back a copy that has the clerks stamp(basically notarizing the certificate. I guess I will hear back from them on monday. I also reiterated that it was the same copy i used for her ssn and a.o.s
 
In other news. we received our text messages stating our paperwork was received last week, and my check was cashed back on the 2nd.
I suppose we will receive the noa1 paperwork in the mail sometime soon. maybe even before she receives her social security card.

Hey Boris,
 How has it been watching Showtime and Eat Bulaga?

congr
congratulations. you are ready to proceed with your life.
the heat and humidity of your area of texas will be similar to what she's used to.
if she doesn't see feels she does not see enough asians, you can just go down the road to China...bad joke 😞
make sure you have GMA or TFC for her. take some trips to Houston for Red Ribbon or jollibee.
you want to keep her from getting Tampo.
Ingats

it's like you are working the night shift. 
good luck

Daim, approved !!   We got a daim K-1 visa !!!   Many thanks to all here, and particularly Greenbaum, for holding our hand through this whole process.   Seriously this post and the people here made an enormous difference with regard to educating us on this process.   Greenbaum, you were absolutely incredible.   More help than any attorney could have provided.  Many many thanks !!!     I'm having a Jameson's at the moment folks......so happy for my fiancee.   She will finally get to come to the US.   What a dream.       

Interview just 24 hours away.   243 days finished..........1 to go !!!    It's like waiting for a rocket launch at Kennedy Space Center.

Yeah Loo, If you do what Greenbaum suggested and use your Irish charm, It will all be easy.

5 hours should be enough time.
by the time he gets off the plane and gets to immigration poe, it would only like, noon, or just after noon. boarding to chicago wouldnt start until after 4pm. so, 3-4 hours to get though immigration should be enough.

For all of those who will be bringing Pinays or Pinoys over. hurry, there's a water shortage over there. low water equals low water pressure. not even Alden Richards can help now

hope ours go out Faisal

yes, it was similar to that. thanks Celie
she emailed then ended up calling and talked to someone that stated she had 2 accounts/profiles. she had both deleted. and started a new one.
printed the payment thing and went to the bank to pay it.
she says she needs to wait 1-2 days to print the g.s.s confirmation. then we will just wait for next tuesdays shipment. hopefully the embassy will have it by the 23rd or 25th. she will receive her police report maybe the 16th. so once the embassy has our application, she will send Packet 3 immediately.
oh travel visa's, giving us aneurysms
