Theone

Thank you very much. I was going crazy worrying if I did something wrong.

Hello Elohor, unfortunately it does take much longer when the petitioner is not a citizen. uscis.gov goes into much detail about how the priority works. here is a statement from the site. Hope this helps

Preference Categories

If you wish to immigrate as a relative of a U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident, you must obtain an immigrant visa number based on the preference category in which you fall.

People who want to become immigrants are classified into categories based on a preference system. The immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, which includes parents, spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21, do not have to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available once the visa petition filed for them is approved by USCIS. An immigrant visa number will become immediately available. The relatives in the remaining categories must wait for an immigrant visa number to become available according to the following preferences:

First preference: Unmarried, adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens. Adult means 21 years of age or older.

Second Preference: Spouses of lawful permanent residents, their unmarried children (under twenty-one), and the unmarried sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents.

Third Preference: Married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens.

Fourth Preference: Brothers and sisters of adult U.S. Citizens.

Hi everyone,

My name is Elohor. I am a Nigeian with 2 kids, leaving here without my husband. We got married in 2000, tradition marriage. I came to the US Nov. 2003 with our kids. Went back in June 2005 to make our marriage legal. Filed the I-130 for him August 2005. All I got from USCIS is the NOA. My case was transfered to california office this year. For the past six months they have been working on January 2005. I am confessed, did i do something wrong? Is it because I am not a US citizen yet? Why is it taking so long? Is there any thing I can do to help my case?

I am happy to be here. I would love to hear any advise and meet anyone with a case similar to mine.

I am a Nigerian. Generally people over in Nigeria regrads cats as evil. Apart from dogs, I dont think we love any other pets. Cats are also used to portray evil, bad things.

My husband HATES cats. He is appalled that they live in the house with me, he is even more appalled that the baby plays with the cat. He thinks they are demonic creatures lol. I love my cat no matter what he says. He'll learn to love her too!

Hi everyone,

I moved from my family since January 2006 but i was scared of sending a change of address to USCIS, so they dont tell me the delay in my case is becos i changed my address. I can still get mails from my old address. My question is, will changing my address cause a problem for me regarding my pending case?

Thanks

Let me know what i can do, I live here in the ATL.

My fiance and her 2 boys will be arriving in Atlanta on the 26th (Tuesday). I am driving from Dallas to meet them. However in case something unexpected happens to me or the car on the road there I would like to find someone in the Atlanta area who would be willing to fetch them from the airport in the event of a problem. Please contact me if you can help in this way:

Where is she from?

when i was talkin to my future wife over the internet i ask her to let me see in the webcam cuz i she is fine, but i was surprised to see she was sitting on her brothers lap. he's kind and wears a cross but i don't see much of a resemblance. what should i do?

I promise you, it will be fine. The pregnancy wont stop they from giving her the visa, be it 9months.

If my wife is pregnant at the interview will this delay the visa??
