MrsRowe

Dolma,

When is your husband travelling. Mine isn't coming until April 22nd.

Congrats again.

Great news - GOVI GOT THE VISA!!!!! We are so happy!!!!! :dance:

Who's left to graduate, JRHypno, who else???

Congratulations. If anyone deserved it, you did after all you have been through.

Hey guys.

We have visa on hand. Wohoo. Still here though. Husband traveling on April 22nd.

Yay - so happy for you!!!

Sasha too. We still have Sasha but i am not leaving here until she is done. Come on out Sasha. Now we can focus our positive energy on you. Wohoo.

Well, I told Govi that his English was good enough to talk with me so be confident but if it gets too hard don't be afraid to ask for an interpreter, apparently he made a good impression because he got the visa!!!!

:dance:

Oh my goodness. Congratulations. Finally, you are there.

Like everyone says, do both. It's added insurance.

Hey guys.

We have visa on hand. Wohoo. Still here though. Husband traveling on April 22nd.

Hi ladies. We have the visa but my husband is not travelling until April 22nd. Wooohoo

Where is everyone?

My husband finally picked up his visa on Friday. The letter we recieved said appear any wednesday and we took it to mean, pick up the visa. Anyway, when he went last Wednesday, they told him to leave his passport and actually pick up the visa on Friday at 2:00PM which he did. Took him about 20 minutes to do so. He will be here on April 22nd. POE, JFK.

Hey Ladies,

I guess Onekea is "honeymooning". Come on out you. Give the husband a two minute break to say hi to us.

Nikki,

Suz is right. You do not want them to see you recieving money from your husband. It's going to look bad. If you are going to do the bank thing, it may be easier to do in Guyana. You won't be able to add his name to a mortgage or bank account here.

Suz,

for NVC for the Affidavit of support, i sent in my job letter that stated my salary and who were beneficiaries of my life insurance (husband and daughter), pay stubs from the last six months and my tax transcript for the past three years. No W-2s. I included a cover letter and labled each section that had everything.

For my husband's DS230, he included our marraige certificate, his birthcertificate, his divorce decree but he didn't realize he sent a copy of the divorce decree so he had to send that aftrer an RFE, police certificate, NVC said they did not need my birthcertificate but the embassy actually needed it. i believe he also had to send two passport sized photographs as well.

I know we miss Oneka...she is probably trying to get the husband settle in...Mrs. Rowe its only time before we have to send and SOS out for you too. Well did the hubby give you a date when he will be travelling. I was thinking about something last night, wondering how I would feel if someone told me, that I had to move to another state and give up my life here that would be hard because I have been living in this city for so long, these men and women that we sponsoring, they are giving up so much to come here to be with us....WOW

No...she is not right...I do understand both of your point of views because its exactly what I was thinking, when I had my consultation with an attorney who was very truthful with me, and I mentiond that to her, she said I quote "way better than when the sponsors are doing it". Thanks for your concerns.

Suz...we are doing the bank accounts & property stuff from GT end because as you rightfully said "he has no SSN", the papers for the stuff from Guyana is on its way up as we speak for me to sign and return. We are not sure we will get the Deed to the property by the time the interview because you know how GT is but at least we will have the agreement of sale.

Mrs. Rowe I wasn't aware that you could put someo in Guyana on your life insurance here. Thanks for sharing I am going to go make a call so that I can include my husband on mine.

Remember suz the burden of proof is what we are working with nothing less nothing more.

Please explain how it's worse when the sponsor sends money? I'm not sure I understand?

I have to ask the same question. The only thing i can think of is they may want to think that the beneficiary is using the USC but that's not their call to make if people seem genuinely inlove. So, i don't knoI say if you trust your attorney, go for it. Generally, i still do believe that it's better not to show a lot of money exchanges from beneficiary to sponsor but that's just IMO.

Hey Ladies,

I'm back from Guyana and my hubby is with me. The embassy was just fine. They interviewed us separately. My husband went first and then they asked me the same questions they asked him. Nothing offensive at all, just when and how we met, how many times did I visit after we got married, if it was my 1st time there when we met, I explained that we had a small wedding and then a big vow renewal so she asked who was there...that kind of stuff. My husband answered the questions and then some and even got to show some wedding pictures. He was in there for like 15 minutes and I almost lost my mind. But we got through it...thank God!

So ladies...there is hope!!!

Still praying for you all...and I will do my best to continue to post here

Aww man, i am so happy for you. It pleases me to see one of us making it so easily. Congratulations. That wasn't scary at all.

Where are you ladies? I am feeling lonely here.

Right here. I am filling out the I-130 Form. I am going to mail it off by April 5th that way by the time they receive it our 2 yrs anniversay would of passed. How are u doing? 1 more week to go before your hubby pick up his visa you must be getting really excited by now. I agree in regards to the embassy.

Hey,

Glad to see you are on the move and your wait should not be too long plus after two years, he is going to get the 10 year green card. That will save you from having to do the whole removal of conditions thing. I am hoping that with us because we have a child together and we are so close to our second year anniversary that they will just grant us the 10 year green card but I doubt it. Oh well. I am actually not excited anymore, just a little frustrated because he won't set a date for his daparture until Wednesday. It's frustrating cause i want to start making some plans but cannot. Not really. Men. Grr. Oh well.

The immigration petition is base on the person migrating to the US . Telling them that you are not moving to the US will not help. Furthermore, you have six months to travel once the visa is issued. Once you have not traveled, i believe that they cancel the visa. If i am not mistaken. Good luck.

Where are you ladies? I am feeling lonely here.

Good luck. Tell her to be confident in her answers and everything will be fine.

I dont' think they are going to "run out". I think the quota is monthly not yearly. You guys are going to be just fine. We are all going to get through this process. Don't let them scare you. It's going to be okay. We will all see victory through that embassy. Maybe after we are all done, we should all go to Guyana and stand in front of the embassy with signs that say, "KISS OUR YOU KNOW WHAT'S".

They are not going to win. Not with their rediculous questions nor their shut up and wait tactics and not with their bullying. God is on our side and we are all going to make it.

i hope you get well soon MrsRowe, your husband is almost there

I am feeling much better. Thank you.

Here i am.

Been sick with the darn flu. Here i am. Thanks for worrying about me Sasha. I responded to your email.

Oh my gosh. I logged on just so i could see if you posted.

Woohoo, wohoo. .

I feel like i want to say nanana booboo to that embassy.

Congratulations.

Yeah.

anybody hear from onekea? another friend of mine - not on vj - got her approval from vsc today - 7 months! shouldn't be long now for me. but i en gettin my hopes up.

I haven't heard anything. i don't think she is going to post until she comes back to the states. It won't be too long. Hang in there. It is going to be faster than you think.

I wonder if Onekea is done and her husband are done. I am dying to hear what happened. I am hoping for one more victory for us this week. We deserve it. I hope God walks with them. I hope they are blessed with an approval. Wouldn't it be so nice if one of us gets through without any added trouble? Oh boy. I am so excited waiting. Geeze. Wohoo.

Woohoo, Congratulations on the visa and the name change. wohoo

Thank you for your information.

Would there be a wait as we have dropped one application and started another? Is this allowed to be done?

We have been advised by an attorney to seek an I-130 not a K Visa as we are stuck in security checks.

I don't believe that dropping the current application will abort the whole security checks issue. I would say start contacting your congressman/woman for assistance. You may be setting yourself up for another wait once you file again and that means starting the clock all over again. I suggest you wait this one out but start seeking help and i dont' mean in the form of a lawyer either. I was stuck in security checks for my citizenship and it took 2 and a half years to finally become a citizen. Start a letter writing campaign to your congressman, uscis and anyone you can think of. Good luck.

I didn't bother to ask for it on the phone. I waited for it in the mail. IT really just took a few days and by that i mean about a week for me to recieve the AOS bill and DS3032 in the mail and it had all i needed. Focus on getting your packages together because if it is ready when they are ready, your process will go that much faster.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. It is a NOA1
