Congratulations!! I wish you good luck & success.

thank you all very much!

another question that my wife remembered to tell me later on:

what college did your husband attend?

Congratulations cmnb, We were on the same time line as far as the visa process is going. I remember we were on the same forum subject, I believe it was December approvals. Any way my wife had a March 19 appointment for K3, but we canceled it to pursue for CR1. The CR1 case was completed on March 10 and now waiting for the appointment date. It was a little hard to get the police paper and the mailing back and forth took longer than we expected. Any way the case is in the final stages. Once again, congratulations for finishing the case and all the best in the future for both of you in your life together.

Thank you Visajourney for helping me an my husband navigate through getting a K1 visa and doing AOS. Where is the Post Icon of a broken heart? Now my marital ship is taking on some serious water. I think we might sink.

I am not a housewife type. I am not happy having life revolve around food - that is, cooking, and cleaning up after the cooking and the eating. And cleaning. His idea of clean is not mine. My idea of cleaning is keeping everything sanitary enough that ants, flys, cockroaches, and other bugs, plus mold or things like salmonella, that none of these things are encouraged to live with us. This causes conflict. I don't know how much I can change before it drives me crazy or at least makes me into someone I do not want to be. There are things in life to do and experience and unless the domestic activities are personally fulfilling to the person doing them, for ME it seems like a waste of time.

There are bedroom issues too. He won't listen to me when I try to describe how a bad day or being yelled at effects my interest in any action happening in the bedroom. I can't say too much more before it would be indecent of me. I let him "have me" too many times when I didn't want to. Now the culminating act is uncomfortable and sometimes painful. I tried to describe this too him so we could work it out. Maybe there is a communication issue. His english is good enough for most days, but maybe not good enough for this? He won't brush his teeth and they look bad. I know my breathe is not good either, but trying to not smell his when we are intimate - plus not wanting to breathe into his nose - makes for a tense scenario for me. Which is part of my tension at that time.

He doesn't like my sister. They had some issues. She certainly has her problems, but he insists on describing them to her in glaring terms trying to make me not like her as much, or maybe just to make me see who she really is. And he says he doesn't want her to think he is keeping me from talking to her. He thinks I only defend her, but that I don't defend him when she says something not so nice about him. I know I need to be cautious with how I say things to her or it will cause her to get the wrong idea (she feels the whole world is against her sometimes - and given her past I can understand somewhat why) and make the whole situation escalate out of control. He does not want to see that I am trying to do that. They are both strong willed.

He does not treat my dog very well. She is my dog and I should have say over how she is treated. She is shy, easily spooked. She seems to react that way more in response to men. He likes to chase her and some dogs see that as play (today he did that and did something so she yipped a couple times - he said that he was trying to teach her to act like a real dog), but she shakes and her tail tucks and if he raises her hand she cowers down. I see things that alarm me. It's starting to get abusive and I don't want her to live her remaining time shaking and being chased. I fear she might slip running away down the steps. She is getting old and be already slips sometimes without being chased. I start to feel that this is a bad situation for her and I need to get her out of it. That makes me wonder if maybe it's bad for me too. Or maybe I've just been reading too much about animals mirroring us - and sometimes showing us what our emotions are telling us even if we don't see it so clearly.

I make many tiny mistakes rather often and he does not want to hear "I'm sorry." I feel he over reacts and gets more irritated than the situation warrants. I noticed my body language feels like I'm trying to make him feel like he has been punishing enough and please to stop because I can't take much more. I used to cry. When I became hysterical he would finally stop and go all nice. Once I would calm down he would go, "I didn't want you to be this upset. But...." Now I just feel doowwwwwn. My heart feels heavy.

He puts me down with words. And of course he's "just" trying to point out areas where I need work. He says I only make excuses. I've heard of breaking someone down to build them back up, but... when will he build me back up?

He threatens divorce. He talks about going to other girls if I don't change.

He says I'm only thinking about myself, that I am not thinking about his feelings. He gets mad and I get verrrry sad. You know that kind of sad where you don't feel like you have energy to stand up, and you might notice you stomach feels empty, but you don't really care? When I'm like that, I don't know how to see his feelings. All I see is anger, and it does not feel justified. He said I always have an excuse, "tell me what it will be tomorrow so I'll know early." The idea of jumping up to make him food makes me feel like I would be reacting out of fear of his reaction. That makes me feel like I am about to act like a door mat. After the last two days, I'm always waiting for something to happen accidentally to set him off again. Is that a way to live? Fearing what the other person will do if you don't have dinner ready on time?

There are other things too. I'm trying to keep it to the ones that hurt or concern me the most. Did I say he started snapping pens and has started throwing things when he feels mad? He says in his culture if the wife was like I am, the husband would hit her.

I get compared to women from his country.

And in some way I feel like it's my fault. I'm sure in some way there is something I could have done to stop this from getting so bad. I know there are some cultural differences - although occassionally I try to show him that, but he says that's not cultural, that it's a problem in me. Or he agrees and talks about how it is a disease with Americans. The way he says it, I start to be offended. Sometimes he isn't quite serious, but I have always had some trouble knowing if he was joking. I know he changed a lot of things when he came here. I don't know how much more I can change. And I don't know if I want to be the person I would have to become if I changed certain things.

There is this widening gulf between us. I didn't want it to be this way. I don't know how to fix it. If it can be fixed. Or if it is too much for me. I don't know how to cater to him without losing myself. Will catering to him make him listen to how I feel? I know it would be bad to bring a child into this, so getting pregnant is out.

He is smart. He can figure people out very quickly. He learns quickly too, and his memory is much better than mine. He does not understand that he has an advantage in these areas. He trusts his ideas about people. But sometimes he is wrong or does not have the right info, coming from a different cultural background. He does not distinguish between the two. Whatever, it makes me second guess myself, from all the things he tells me about me. In the areas he is correct about, it's good to know, but the way he says it to me is not tactful. Which of these things is he right about, and which ones are flat out WRONG?

I know he is not beating me or anything like that. I don't know if he would or not. With the pen breaking and the knocking things over, increasingly foul language, the talk about what he would do I was from his country, it makes me wonder. He says things in anger and does not censor himself, but it makes me consider if he might one day do something. My first husband was rather a wimp and even though I imagined he might do something, I never really had the feeling that he would. With this man, I do not know.

How long do I sit through this? I rack my mind trying to think of what I could say or do, but I am not savvy or street smart. Everything I say is wrong or makes things worse. He pushes me verbally for answers. Sometimes the question is a loaded question, and many times I do not know how to answer. For example, the question should not be if the man is justified in cheating because his wife would not "sleep" with him, the question should be, "why does she not want to sleep with him." "Sleeping" with someone, in what experience I do have, has usually been uncomfortable because I get tense. I think the only thing that would please him, is if I took a shower right now and put on feminine clothes, and when he comes up for bed, go up to him and say that I'm sorry I've been a bad wife and have not been sleeping with him, and maybe cry and go on about how wrong I was and how I will only cook things from his country from now on, and it will always be on time. It's not good to do "that" if it hurts, and I can't see living life around the kitchen. That is sooooo not me. Do I have to do that to make this work out?

Come on VJers, I really need some support right now. He is all edges right now and I'm already treading one. What are my options?

I'm so mentally and emotionally drained.

No one submits to no one; it is a two way street. One thing you have to remember is that life is too short and it is not worth living even for a minute being unhappy if you can't help it. If I were you I will sit down with him and talk and decide what you have to do to make both of you happy. If it is separating or whatever, you will have to take that option because it is not worth living feeling like the one you explained. Sometimes a cheating partner shows anger and frustration against the other partner to hide his/her guilt feeling. Good luck to both of you, and I hope you will work it out.

PS: What I read on this forum in response to this lady's thread is pathetic. I did not really believe what I was reading. I feel really sorry for your partners.

Hi, i m new . will any one help me decide? plz..

i filed i130 and 129f in may and june. both approved on 12 feb and sent to nvc.

now i got letter from nvc for i129f that this will be forwarded to consulate/embassey.

then i got letter for i130 with I864 fee bill and ds 3032 bla bla...

NO. 1.. now wht should i do??? should i withdraw i129f or keep going with it will be the good idea?

NO. 2.. many ppl wrote here they got on email ds 3032 and they emailed it back. i dint understand that cuz info page of ds3032 says applicant (benificiary) has to sign it and mail it so how did these guys emailed it?

NO. 3.. my baby boy was born abroad in nov 2008 and i applied for his passport in consulate over there that he is a citizen's baby so should qualify for that.and it is still in process. i m back in USA now. do i have to add this child's name in application of my spouse and how?

NO. 4.. after i send to nvc all documents from here in USA. wht documents and forms must my wife will have to still provide to consulate abroad?

any othere better ideas. plz share. thanx.

First of all, congratulations on your approval.

My case was the same as yours; I was approved on both I-129f and I-130. At this point you have no choice to do anything about I-129f, you just let it take its course. Actually it will help you at the end. The I-129f will take about two weeks to get to the consul office and probably another week or two for your beneficiary to receive the mail from the consul office. The letter from the consul office will have some directions how to obtain medical, police and all other necessary documents and the date for the interview appointment. You can reschedule the appointments or change it to CR1 later on when it is convenient for your beneficiary.

What you have to do in the mean time is email NVC for the DS3032 so that you will be the agent for your beneficiary. If you have the signed DS3032 with you, you can mail the hard copy at the same time. In my case I did not have the signed DS3032 so I just emailed the NVC and I got a response. For further in detail instructions, use the James's NVC shortcut. http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...28Before_NVC.29

Good Luck and have a good day.

Update - I checked the web site and the IV bill was ready to be paid. I just paid that a few minutes ago. Now I have to wait the police report from Ethiopia to send in the documents. Unfortunately, in Ethiopia the police(interpol) need a letter from NVC to give you a police report. Hope I receive the letter quickly so that I can send it to my wife. On the other hand for those of you who already completed the case or on the verge of completing soon, congratulations. Good luck every body.

Hi everybody,

Update - I received the AOS bill by mail on 1/12/09 and paid for it the same day. Now, today 1/13/09, it shows paid and I was able to print the coversheet. And also I was worried about the DS -3032 because I do not have the signed form in my possession. The only option I have at this time was just for the email to work. The first one I emailed was on 1/8/09 and I emailed them twice yesterday. Today, I received email notification from NVC that they received the email for DS-3032. That is a great news, it took them 5 days for the response of DS-3032. Well, good luck every body.

Well, that is fantastic news. You may or may not already know this, but since they accepted it, if you get online the same way you paid the AOS bill, you can pay the IV bill too. I don't know if you are doing that or your spouse is... but you can do that and then when it shows paid you can send in the DS230 and the supporting stuff. Good luck!

Thank you very much. I checked the web site to pay the bill, and the IV is not yet accessible. I will do that as soon as it is available. Thanks.

Hang in there, it may happen when least expecting. Just forget about immigration for a few day and things might work itself out. We'll still be here, I'm also now stuck with getting paperwork from wifes side.

No updates. Same old response of "allow upto 90 days".

I'll see you guys (or may not, since all of you might already be done) when I have an update.

Happy Journey!

Hi I am approved on 9th Jan , I wanto simultaneously percieve both Cr-1 and K3 , I have few doubts regarding PCC and birth certificate do we have to send original documents to NVC or the copy is sufficient .Kindly guide me through this NVC.

Rakesh

Well it depends on the country of the beneficiary whether you need original or certified copy. Check Lingche shortcut.

Good Luck

Sam, best is to email and mail the DS 3032. from most cases here, I observed mailing works way faster than emailing. u just have to use a fast mail option. good luck

i definitely agree. i mailed our DS3032 overnight on thursday and it was received and accepted yesterday. i was just checking online to see if there was any progress in processing my AOS bill and saw that the IV bill had been generated. send it in the mail!

Well, the problem I have is that I do not have the signed DS 3032 in my possession. But a few days more waiting does not hurt me, I guess, comparing to the wait most of us had to endure at VSC. Thanks

Quick question-

I had my wife email the DS 3032. Just to make sure I want to email them one more time. I know her password and user name, can I open the account and send the email myself from here in th US? I was concerned because I thought they would check the IP address the email generated. Thanks.

Yes, you can e-mail from your wifes account. There wont be any problem. I also recommend you to priority mail them copy of ds3032 that will be faster.

I appreciate it very much. That is exactly what I would do. Thank you very much.

Let us know if you get an automatic response back from NVC right after you send them the DS-3032 email. Many of us have not received an automatic response back and NVC accepted the DS-3032 by email. I did not get a response back and they still have not accepted, but I will have to wait a little longer.

I will let you know when I get a response, but the say it takes a little while to get a response. Thanks

Congratulations!!!!

What I found out from my own experience is that before the AVR updated, you can get your case number from the operator. I have been checking and checking the AVR with no change. Yesterday, 1/7/09, I spoke with the operator and he told me my case number and also said that DS3032 and AOS bill were generated and mailed on 1/6/09. My case number was created on 1/5/09. I called the AVR just a few minutes ago, and it has all the information what the operator told me. So what I am trying to say is that you could get your case number and the status of DS3032 and AOS from the operator in 5 or 6 days time before the AVR was updated which helps in sending the e-mail of DS3032 right away. On the other hand, I called to get my IIN with no luck at all. Good Luck All.

awesome guys!

my DS-3032 and AOS fee bill was also generated today. i will be mailing out the DS-3032 tomorrow.

i asked the operator for the IIN number and he said that its going to be on the AOS packet and that he doesnt have it (liar!!!! lol)

so want to confirm once again, i will fill out the DS-3032 (already signed by my wife) and mail it by itself without any cover letter tomorrow. i will have wifey email the COA today as well.

i will mail it to:

National Visa Center

Attn: ACL

32 Rochester Ave.

Portsmouth, NH 03801

Thanks

cmnb,

Dont forget about barcode for your ds3032. Everything else looks fine.

Good luck!

guys, am i on the right track?

I am glad everything works fine, cmnb. I will try to get the IIN number; I just hope I do not speak to the same person twice asking for it.

Thanks

My case was approved on 12/29/08, and case number was assigned at NVC on 1/5/09. But I am having a problem getting the Invoice ID number. Is there any one here in this forum that has been successful in getting the ID number from the operators? Thank you very much.

sam1 - your IIN will not be available until they generate your DS-3032 (Choice of agent) and Affidavit of support fee bill. that might take about a week to two weeks from the time your case was assigned a case number. so if your case was assigned a NVC case number on 1/5/09 there is a good chance they dont even have that number available yet.

does anyone have the mailing address where i can mail my DS-3032. i ididnt find it on Lingche's shortcut and I am not sure how old the address is on the James shortcut. anyone please?? thanks so much!

Hi cmnb, I asked the operator and he told me that DS-3032 and AOS has been generated and will be mailed tomorrow. And also according to the shortcut, sometimes your IIN will be created when your case number is created. As for your question about where to mail the DS-3032, I believe it is the national visa center address.

When I thought this whole visa approval process would never happen......I get an email saying:

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On January 6, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

Ok, so now to all you "guru's" out there............HELP! I feel like I know what I'm doing, but I really would love some information

from those who have gone with the I-130 what happens next, what to expect, etc. I just feel like I'm on information overload!

So if there are any people with good info out there please let me know! I would love to know the process from here.

WOO HOO! Sorry, I'm so excited!

There's hope out there to all you still waiting!

Congratulations!!!

Our petition was approved today by USCIS. How long will it take to get the package from NVC?

Congratulations!!!!

Hey Folks,

It seems VSC is coming up to speed recently. Just recieved email approval of our 129F. On to NVC

I hope they keep up the approvals for everyone still waiting. Thanks for all the help so far.

Congratulations !!!!

Hi,

I have been living in Romania with my fiance for the last 11 months and therefore I do not have a job in the US anymore (at least not until I return). I need information regarding what to do to satisfy the Affidavit of Support section of this process. He has been approved and a few days ago we have received the paperwork from the American Embassy from Bucharest. Next step is gathering all the required paperwork and not sure what to so about the I-134. Put zero for my income? Find a co-sponsor?

Thanks for all your help.

Hello everyone,

It looks like I am in the same situation as willow2009 with a different twist. I also have a question for the members. I have not been working the whole last year because I was a care giver for a family member. So, I would not have a problem for using say my uncle for a co-sponsor and put my income as zero to sponsor my wife. The case was just approved from VSC at the end of last month. Thanks for all your help.

To all my fellow VJers,

My file have been approved today. No update online, automated system, or no e-mail confirmation. Found out through Immigration officer at VSC.

HAPPIEST DAY EVER!!!

Congratulations !!!!!

Now i'm doing all the jamaican dance, after 215 days no touch, finally. Approved Dec 31 touch again on Jan 01 (strange) way to start the new year, vermont rollin in approvals brace yourself may and june filers they are coming. It was a long ride now i'm done with VSC, i guess for now unto NVC.

Congratulations. Hope the next step will be smooth. :dance:

Hi!

I am curious as to how other recent approvals are doing at NVC. I would love to hear whether you have been able to send in the Choice of Agent or pay the AOS fee bill.

Our I-130 and I-129F petitions were approved on September 20. The I-130 arrived at NVC on September 26 and the I-129F arrived in Italy on December 1. We are going to schedule the K-3 interview and hope that our info for the CR-1 catches up so that my husband can enter with a green card.

I would love to hear about what progress others are making at NVC!

I am a December approval, but I got a question for you. Are you pursuing both applications? If so, is it possible to wait for the I130 after I129f completed and a visa is in hand? I thought you choose only one that suits you and go for it. Thanks
