It looks to me as though they are working on September. The few November filers that were being worked on could also have expedites...if I remember correctly, one of them did. I'm wondering now if I should go ahead and file for K-3.

I'm jealous of your touch. I don't think anything has happened in quite a while with I-130s at VSC...it's like a standstill. It's frightening and it could be much worse than what we or congress are aware of. Why else would Gonzalez be stepping down.

Yes it's true that USCIS gives generic answers but I haven't seen anything moving on I-130s at VSC in a long time. They are moving right through the I-129fs, and I wish I had gone the K-3 route now. My husband needs to be able to travel for his work so we didn't want to take the chance of doing K-3 and having him stuck here unable to work or travel for months...but now wishing that we had done that.

If I have to wait 6 months just at VSC, I'll probably finish my degree, pack up and move there. This is insane and without any productive leadership I don't have any hope or faith at all in USCIS. There should be a federal investigation.

Amazingly fast!! Congratulations! I hope that your energy touches us all!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! It is beyond frustrating. My husband cannot even yet talk about what has happened. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I don't even know how I'll do it. No, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of having one less case to worry about....but it's just the point that they really have no idea what emotional condition we are in and keeping us apart makes it....just insane. Each day is difficult. I've contacted my legislators and sent an editorial to the NY Times (not published) and I believe that USCIS is under scrutiny now and the timing is good to put a personal story to all of their numbers in backlog. It is amazing that Gonzalez says he is quitting to spend time with his family (I don't believe that) and yet we cannot even see ours, no matter what happens to us in the process. I will keep telling my story until I find someone who will listen. These things must be publicized so that the abuses of USCIS are known. I do wish I had recorded the call though. I couldn't believe it was a woman telling me that I cannot need my husband. I wanted to ask her if she could imagine herself in my position, but I knew that she did not have a heart already. I know there are a million other stories like mine.

I did visit the site with the tort lawyer - thank you. Right now I'm still trying to manage to finish my Ph.D. despite 3 years of sexual harassment...then this loss - it kind of knocked me down...so each day is just a struggle at this point. I've got to get to a point where I am okay first....then I'll be on my game and back to fighting back. :-) Thanks for the support.

Another joke for a USCIS officer...

A USCIS officer ( O ) was sleeping with her husband ( H ) at home. Middle of the sleep, O started dreaming.

O) Hurray, I did fantastic job today and started laughing during the sleep

During this time, Husband just woke up and started listening her voice.

O) I am proud that I managed to touch so many of them today

H) (Little confused), but asked to her, what do you mean ?

O) (Still sleeping), replied: Many of my colleagues told me they are touching many of them every day. Now I also started that.

H) So, do you get satisfaction by doing this ?

O) Yeah, it is real pleasure. If I touch more, I get more pleasure.

H) Do you think it is good, we are a good family, aren't we ?

O) If I touch more, I'll earn more (she actually intended performance based pay!)

H) Why do I need your money by doing this ?

O) We have kids education, mortgage, auto loan etc, so we need to earn more.

H) Ok, tell me more

O) All those are just feeling-less objects (she mentioned papers!)

H) Then...

O) I have to do more work, they just sit idle

H) I know you have that capability

O) If I do overtime, it would be even nicer, what do you think ?

The dream goes like that...

Just enjoy!

Lotofpatience, you are truly hilarious ..... thankyou for putting a smile on my face today ...

Did you all see the story the other day in the NY Times about another adjudicator being busted for pressuring a GC applicant (a married one, I might add) for sex to get her GC? She recorded it on her cell phone. He forced her to give him oral sex on the spot so she would know he was serious. The same guy was recorded doing it again. If they are that arrogantly open with such illegal activities, it makes one wonder how committed they are to uniting our families. I personally feel like there is an apathetic attitude organizationally. I saw that when I requested my own expedite and they told me that losing my child and having surgery alone is not an emergency because since I am petitioning for my husband I cannot need HIM in any way. He is the one who needs me. So apparently his or my depression needs to sink to suicide, oh but then wait, it would have to be him, because mine wouldn't be an emergency. OVERHALL USCIS!

Lagos airport issues NEWS ALERT!!Staff reporters | Johannesburg, South Africa22 March 2008 10:51DisplayDCAd('220x240','1','');Spare a thought for travellers from Murtala Muhammed airport Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria.

Travellers were greeted this month with A4 photostated notices stapled to the walls of the arrivals and departures halls.

The problem concerns the ramp, a set of miscreants and don't forget the farmers.

A passenger arriving at OR Tambo International airport this week showed the Mail & Guardian Online one of the notices that he had torn off the wall at the airport.

The notice, from the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, reads:

NEWS ALERT!! NEWS ALERT!! NEWS ALERT!!!

This brings to your notice the operations of a SET OF MISCREANTS on our RAMP. These UNWANTED ELEMENTS whose mission is to mastermind chaos leading to ACCIDENTS and incidents can be with their dress code which is not usually in conformity with RAMP SAFETY. They do wear appropriate reflective jackets on the RAMP and they display nonchalant attitudes towards all RAMP SAFETY PROCEDURES.

Their weapons of operation in include the creation of FODS [Foreign Object Debris], SILTS, SANDS, RUBBER DEPOSITS on the RAMP, facilitation of CRACKED SURFACES, OPENING OF JOINTS, GREASE on the APRON etc. They usually operate DEFECTIVE/DYSFUNTIONING VEHICLES on the RAMP. These MISCREANTS who also include FARMERS, LUNATICS, SCAVENGERS, REFUSE COLLECTORS on the AIRSIDE are very DANGEROUS and their operations are RISKY for the SAFETY of business at MURTALA MUHAMMED AIRPORT.

The INSPECTOR GENERAL OF SAFETY at MURTALA MUHAMMED AIRPORT while commenting on the activities of these MISCREANTS emphasized that ALL hands must be on deck to COMBAT/DEFEAT the MISCREANTS. She noted thatSAFETY IS OUR COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY at MURTALA MUHAMMED AIRPORT and ALL should endevour to report anyone found perpetuating such acts.

The airport -- modelled after Amsterdam's Schiphol -- was named after former Nigerian military head of state Murtala Muhammed.

I support the idea of a prenup in this type of situation just because of what I have seen. I've been to a few fake weddings (didn't know till I arrived and it was immediately obvious to everyone except the bride) and know an extremely high number of people who got their GCs in that way. Hey even one of the doctors that I met at the hospital when having surgery admitted to that. So, let's just say that it's a well-discussed phenomenon in African circles, both here and abroad. When I'm walking down the streets of Dakar I can spot it immediately. The guys even feel ashamed in my presence when they know I speak Wolof and am hip to the game....so with that said, I absolutely support the idea.

In my particular case, I have been a full-time student since 2001 and have been in school since 1997. I just have about $150,000 in debt, which I felt equally obligated to discuss with my husband. In terms of him wanting any of my few electronics or anything inside my modest apartment, well, hardly, but still...I met my hubby doing research (wanted to interview him - he is famous in his country) and he had been traveling for many years to Europe...had work permit in Europe, so I wasn't as concerned as I would have been if he was just trying to get out (I still meet so many people even here that ask me to help them find their GC wife). He has a great deal of opportunities in his country, so I am not worried about him taking off with any of my very few possessions.

While I do understand that marriage starts with trust, it also must start with a clear head. Old folks always told me that every woman should have a secret bank account with start again cash, just in case. Then she can fully trust. :-) My mom always told me to think love AND business. I know that everyone is different, but I understand both points of view.

I see that they are approving quite a few K-1s at VSC, but hardly any CR-1s in March. I just wish the process were a lot more transparent and that they were a lot more accountable for their work. With Gonzalez stepping down next month (potentially to save his reputation), we really have no idea what could be going on...I've lost all faith in USCIS. I'm putting more emphasis on prayer now.

Good luck to everyone. I hope that time makes everyone's family stronger...I honestly do not believe that adjudicators see the faces behind the receipt numbers, so it is up to us to keep the faith and remain strong in our relationships, despite the craziness in a system that is supposed to focus on reuniting families.

Many blessing!

Congratulations!!!! I pray that you have a healthy baby; try to focus on the positive aspect of being pregnant. If your pregnancy is considered high-risk and you can provide documentation, it is not unheard of to get a case expedited and your husband can request it. It is not common, but it has been done.

I wish you the absolute best and a speedy reunion!!

Greetings VJ Family. I don't post much, but read often. I have been silently waiting and trying to accept that my husband and I may wait a year or more to begin our life together. It makes me wonder about those of us who do things the right and legal way. I understand the need for security checks and the like, but with the prices that we pay, I would certainly expect better services. Because we are so depedent, our very lives are dependent upon approvals, we don't protest, we don't cause any waves and we silently wait. We vent in private anonymous forums to maintain our sanity. If this were for any other service and a company was run so inefficiently as to separate families for sometimes years, there would be massive protests in the street, at the embassies, all around the world. But again, we are prisoners of our love of a non-citizen who choses to do things legally and righteous, despite the costs.

I found out that I was pregnant (a miracle, i had been told that i could not conceive) just a few weeks after my husband left to return to his country. I was going through a terrible crisis at the time and could not sleep or do much of anything. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I pulled myself together and quickly moved into survival mode. I start planning and figuring out how the heck I would do this by myself until Homeland Security decided that the man that I married could enter the country legally. Unfortunately, on top of everything that I was going through, the baby passed away during the first week of March. It was an emotional trauma like no other. I requested a review for expedited processing since I still had to undergo surgery and I do not have any family in this city. I came here simply to study. They reviewed my request and requested proof. I faxed everything. They sent me an email yesterday saying that it is not an emergency. I called and inquired as to the criteria for an emergency. Did they need to see that I attempted suicide or what? I mean, really, aren't people sometimes let out of jail for funerals? My law-abiding husband cannot come here in the loss of our unborn child and aid me in recovery from surgery? Are they serious? My call was elevated to another representative who informed me that when I petitioned for my husband I stated that I can support HIM in every way, NOT just financially. So, I should not need HIM for anything. I asked the lady if she could imagine being in my position. I said my husband will not be a public charge, but I may if you allow me to suffer here alone through this horrible trauma. She said that I could send everything again and hope that a different human will read the paperwork. WOW. I spoke to my congressman's office and sent everything to his office in hopes that they may look into it. I'm considering writing an article and posting it everywhere. USCIS is a big mess and now Gonzalez has stepped down. Where does that leave such an unorganized, backed up and overloaded with rookie employees organization? I was told, though, by someone else that the only emergencies that are considered now are those of national security. That confuses me a bit because anyone who wanted to do something to the U.S. certainly could not wait this long. They'd do it illegally. This process is way too frustrating, even for criminals.

If I ever become that disconnected from the people that I serve on my job, I will quit. There is more at work in the universe than myself. I am sending out a hope and a prayer for all of those who are suffering through this inhuman, disorganized and ridiculously non-transparent process.

Peace and blessings,

A.You will have better luck with your senator because they deal with federal agencies...Im so sorry....this has been the worst year of my life too

Thank you for that information. That is contrary to what my congressman's office told me, so it's always good to know that there is hope. I believe you are right that there are fewer requests at NVC. I have just sent a letter about my story, not with my receipt numbers or anything, to every single member of the house subcommittee that overseas USCIS. I wanted them to read a personal story behind all of the testiony of Gonzalez and the news stories. I think I will also follow your advice and send a letter to my senator. I had planned to ask for an expedite after reading that it was possible with a high-risk pregnancy but was waiting for the doctor's appointment to do so. It was already too late. According to what the USCIS representative told me, I'm not allowed to need my husband emotionally or in any way. I am supposed to support HIM in every way, not just financially. That is what she told me. I felt like I was talking ot a machine. I will continue to fight. My husband and I are moving through the days like zombies just trying to survive. There can be no healing, no grieving and progression while we remain apart. Thank you for your message and I wish you the very best in reuniting with your husband. You are in my prayers.

It is standard operational procedure.

All applicants, after their interview, have their cases reviewed by the Department of State back in USA for security checks. Your fingerprints and name will be sent various agencies to be checked against computer databases.

This process can take 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and even up to a 1 year! One month if you are very lucky and 1 year if you are very unlucky. Average wait time is 3 to 6 months.

Welcome to the AP Club.

So does everyone get on AP, or is it random?

I want to thank everyone out there who has sent us their prayers and good wishes. You don't know how much it has meant to us to have your support.

As for the interview, Inusah it went well, but they want him to come back in June (#######?!!?!?!?!?!?!) with more pictures from 2006 (hello, we only knew each other for ONE DAY) and letters (#######???). They scheduled him for June 2nd.

I know it is not bad news, it could be worse. We are not in AP/AR (I called DOS, they said just bring more pictures and letters). Inusah explained the reason why we had no pictures from 2006 and the CO was satisfied witht he answer but said to bring letters. I have THREE letters that he has sent me in the 1 year and 7 months we have been together. 3. I have sent him some care packages and I have the receipts for those and he has some letters and cards that I sent him (when they got to him) so I guess they are going to have to be happy with that.

The CO also asked him when we were planning to get married. Inusah replied July/August and the CO said to be on the safe side, it would be better to have the visa issued in June. #######?????? The visa is valid for SIX MONTHS!!!! That would put us in SEPTEMBER if it was issued today.

I just don't understand it. Inusah said the CO was convinced we had a real relationship. So, why all this about coming back with more pictures and letters? I just don't get it.

Inusah sounded optimistic about everything. I will not be happy until we have that visa in hand. I thought the waiting was over...I guess I was wrong. Now I have another f'ing interview to look forward to. I am just so tired of all the waiting.

I will post a more complete review later.

I was so shocked by this post that I sent it to my husband just to prepare him for the foolishness that the embassies cause with their calous behavior. I know it's easy to say keep waiting, meanwhile your lives are practically on hold. I am sending you strength and courage for the last home stretch. Perhaps we do need a separate site to share our stories of frustration, abuses of power by embassy employees, etc. My husband went to the U.S. Embassy in Dakar four times and waited all day only to be told four times that they refused to notarize a copy of his passport (their website states they do this for $30) for our U.S. tax purposes. Form W-7 requires it. Senegal is not part of the Hague Convention, so it was either that or send the original for 12 weeks (my husband travels quite a bit, not an option). He had to spend $100 US to send me the passport so that I could get it notarized. I know there are many stories in which people are simply doing as they please because they can. We cannot protest because we know they will make us wait even longer. There should be a watch dog agency over USCIS. I am sending my prayers (in return) to you, my sista. Keep the faith and know that the love and respect that has developed over such a long period of time will keep you two together long and strong. Blessings...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, suggestions, hopes, prayers and kind words. Sometimes we just have to vent as well. I was honestly thinking that by telling my story I could also send out some love and prayers for all of you. I think until the news picks up stories such as mine and many, many others, USCIS will operate in near secrecy, doing as they please. I have faxed all of my information to my congressman's office and will give that a little bit of time. I will, for whatever it is worth, write something soon and send it wherever I can find. These injustices and operation with impunity should not be allowed by any agency who serves the people. It is only the people who can force it to change.

I paid $1,300 on BA in February of 06 and l stayed in Durban for 5 months. South Africa is great make sure you get to hang out in JoBurg and Cape Town.

What was your impression of Durban?

BA is British Airlines, right? I'm concerned that because I'd be travelling in the summer the prices could still be high. For someone that is used to flying to South America, even $1300 is expensive.

They just had some great specials ending last month to Durban. I was there twice in 2006 and in Jozi/Joburg for five months in 2006/2007 and then just for a short month last summer/their winter. Personally, the crime is just a bit much for me and people drink more than I have ever seen in my life. I liked Durban more than any other place in the country -both because it reminded me of California and because there is a very tight Senegalese community there who drove me to my interviews (research) and made sure I got safely home each day. It just all depends on what part of Durban you are in. It was getting a bit rougher while I was there (still not like Jozi) and a French para-olympic official was gang raped on the street while taking a walk with her boyfriend right next to where I was staying. Most of the hotels have security guards that will walk you wherever you need to go though. The guards wouldn't even let me walk alone to the corner. In other parts of town you can walk down the street in the daytime without much of a care. I'm no expert but that was my opinion of the place.

I'm including a travel agent that we often use in our department - a lot of us travel to SA frequently. SAA is definitely the best airline to travel, but I've also done Delta. SAA has the best staff, food and movies. Sometimes Delta has a special or lets you get off in various cities along the way with a bit less hassle than SAA. I always get off in Dakar if I can. The travel agent's prices below normally include two internal tickets (somewhere in RSA) as well. www.flymango.com and www.kalula.com are airlines that are cheap for traveling about inside RSA. I love flying Kalula. They are absolutely hilarious. Anyway, you can find the city that's cheapest to fly to (often Johannesburg) and then fly from there for fairly cheap. Take care.

Thanks so much!

A co-worker of mine told me that she also has a website since apparently we had a SAn student at my school and he gave it to her. However, I've been thinking this over and think I may take a trip to Brazil with my sister now...

Oh what to do?

But this information is important since my friend is going there for her internship.

I also heard that Durban has the largest population of (south East) Asians outside of India. (My friend is an immigrant from India so could be interesting for her).

Definitely!! Durban is in Kwazulu-Natal and so yes, there is a huge Indian population. They owned most of the buildings around where I was staying. For me, a vegetarian, it meant I could eat wonderful veggie curry everyday. Best!

If you have indeed had your interview, then talking to the embassy might prove difficult, depending on the embassy. My husband couldn't even get a U.S. notary on the copy of his passport at the embassy in Dakar for our U.S. taxes, even though they do this according to their own website. THey were rude and he went four times with all the tax forms, etc. We had to spend $200 to send the passport here so I can obtain a notarized copy of it and send it back. Sometimes the embassy staff are condescending and rude to the local people who are hosting them. Perhaps it can help your case. Good luck!

I also added my husband to my lease, renter's insurance, the cable bill and my auto insurance. You can use pictures, emails, chats, phone bills, etc for the other proof. We are also filing our taxes together, which you can do if you request an ITIN and request to be treated as U.S. residents for tax purposes.

yes once here in usa not while his in other country.. thats what i was asking??? for i know once here we do

Exactly. My husband is not here either and I did all of those things.

Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Sent my I-130 on January 9, received January 10. The system shows they are working on January 11 (receipt date) as of 2/6/08, but they haven't cashed my check yet. Hoping to see something in the mail next week or so.

good luck everyone! Here we go!

Sorry, I am the new comer, our I-130 to Chicago was received on 1/10. One question, what kind of system can we check to find if USCIS is working on our case? I only have a mail cert. number. Thanks.
