hello all,

Initially, I started my journey posting questions about my K1 visa petition being too complicated as it is. The first post I had was about filing a K1 visa petition as soon as getting divorced. With it, after I stated my case, I got all the haters, without even thinking whats the real deal. Let me give you guys an idea on what was our situation before today.

.........

My STucked @ NVC family means alot to me. Thank you, thank you thank you.

OK. So a few days ago Luck-e and Kookie shared with us their story. Like them, I find VJ in general, and this thread in particular, to be a kind of 'home', with friendly and sympathetic folks. So I thought I'd share my story here as well. Sorry this is long, it's just a very complicated situation.

In addition to my visa journey, there is one other major concern in my life - which is my kids.

The visa process - well, that you can all relate to. All of us are going through that trauma together. My I129F was filed in September and I'm hoping (hoping!!) that we can get the K1 visa and my honey can come to the US by June. That would make about 9-10 months. Longer than the supposed average of 6 months (thanks for nothing, NVC!! ). But not as bad as some (think of poor Sarah). I can deal with that.

My kids however - that's a really complicated situation. And I honestly don't know how it will ultimately play out. I am hopeful for the best, but bracing for disappointment.

I have 3 children aged 16,13,11. Two boys and a girl. They're wonderful, smart, friendly kids. They were born into a good family atmosphere. My first marriage was stable for many years. I was married for 17 years, and I would say that the first dozen or so were pretty good. The last 4-5 got progressively worse. I share the blame in that. It takes two to make a marriage work, and it takes two to wreck it. I have regrets, but I make no excuses for myself. I could have been a much better husband. She could have been a better wife. Let's leave it at that.

We separated and I moved out in the last year and a half before the divorce (we got divorced last summer). During the separation I never challenged my ex-wife (she was still my wife then) on anything. She had custody of the kids, I was paying the vast majority of my salary as 'child support' (basically - the monthly paycheck from my job would go into the bank, she would use it all, I was living off savings. Until my lawyer told me to start dipping into it as well, towards the end). In short, during the separation I wanted to either reconcile with her or if we were going to divorce - to do it amicably, out of court, and put the kids first, and our own needs first.

It didn't work out that way. She got very angry and vindictive. We wound up with expensive lawyers and a really bitter situation. Even then, I never tried to fight her or challenge her. I just wanted it to end, to get on with my life and let her get on with hers, and spare the kids from having to see us fight.

Part of our complication has always been geography. She (my ex) was born in Brazil, and her family lives in Brazil. I was born in the US and raised in Canada (hence 'uscandual' - US/Canadian dual). We met in Israel when we were both grad students there in the late 80s. After we got married, we kept bouncing around. She wanted to live in Israel. I would stick it out there for a few years, decide that I wasn't happy there and wanted to live in North America. She never liked living in Canada or the US and always wanted to return to Israel. So we moved back and forth between Israel, Toronto, Israel, California, Israel over the 17 year marriage. When we finally got divorced, we were living in Israel. As part of the divorce terms she wanted to return to Brazil, her native country, with the kids. She felt that she could get a job there (she wasn't working in Israel) and would have her family's support as a single mother. I wanted to leave Israel and come back to the US and restart my life here. So the agreement was that she would take the kids to Brazil and I would be in the US with visitation rights. I insisted in the agreement that I would have regular ongoing access to them via the Internet: email, chat, and particularly Skype with webcam. I am managing a long distance relationship to Thailand with my fiancee with those tools, so I felt that could also bridge the gap with my kids. They're not little babies any longer, and they're quite computer savvy. So I thought that would be an acceptable solution.

Well, it just hasn't been working out. It's going from bad to worse.

To start - I bought them a webcam in Israel last summer before they moved to Brazil. I wanted them to test it out in Israel before they left. She refused to allow them to do that. Initially (Aug-Oct), I had fairly regular phone & email contact with them (several times per week, I would say). But not one single webcam session. They "couldn't find" the webcam I gave them. Then I bought another one and mailed it to them. It "Never arrived" in the mail. You get the drift. Oh, then the phones. The kids had 2 cellphones between the 3 of them. For a few weeks I was able to call them. Then my ex got wind of that, and promptly changed the phone numbers, and instructed the kids not to give me the new numbers. And Skype - hah! They were under direct orders from their mom to leave their Skype disconnected, and even to remove me from their 'contacts' list, unless she gave them explicit approval to connect under her direct supervision. Which was at random, infrequent times that I could never schedule or anticipate in advance. Never mind two-three times per week, or even weekly. Weeks were going by with essentially no contact. That was during Nov-Dec.

In Dec, I was about to start my new job in the US, so I took a week before starting to work to fly to Brazil to see them. That was a great visit. I had a lovely time with them for about 5 days. There were constant annoyances in which she tried to interfere, but on the whole the visit was a success. I brought them a new laptop with a built in webcam. She refused to allow them to connect it to the Internet and use it to Skype with me. To the point of actually making my son cry when he pleaded with her, and she refused.

I came back to the US, started my job, and since that point there has been almost no contact at all.

In Feb they moved. Up until then (From July 2008-Feb09) they were living in my ex-mother in law's house. So I had the address and the home phone number. In Feb, I got a brief email from her (she has otherwise refused to contact me or speak to me at all, acting only through the kids). Her email said only that they moved. No new address was given. No home phone number. I don't know where they live. For a while, my oldest son would update his Facebook profile so I could see some of what he was doing. And he would respond to my PMs on Facebook. Now he has stopped doing that - he hasn't logged into FB in months apparently. My second son is the only one who makes some effort - I get an occasional email from him every so often , averaging perhaps 1 email every 2-3 weeks. They are never on Skype. Never on Yahoo messaging. I have no cell numbers to call them on. I've asked them to give me their address/phone number. They have not. I ask them if they think this situation is "acceptable" and "normal". They don't seem disturbed by it. They're not interested in challenging their mom about it.

At one point, I contacted the principal and the psychologist at their school in Brazil. I do have the phone/address of the school. The psychologist seemed willing to help me. A week later I got an email from my ex informing me that if I contact the school again, she will pull the kids out of the school. Then I got an earful from my kids pleading with me not to contact the school. I feel that I have every right to go through the school, but (a) I'm not sure what good it will do (b ) I don't want to make things even harder for the kids.

Since I returned from Brazil, I have had a handful of emails, and 2 Skype sessions with them, one in Feb and one in March. Both were (amazingly enough!) with the webcam on the new laptop. Apparently she was willing to let them use it for those 2 specific 1 hour sessions. She insisted that they go out onto the balcony of their apartment, with the camera pointed away from the interior of the home. Gawdforbid I should somehow see any of the interior of her apartment, as if I give a damn.

TWICE in 4 months I have spoken to my kids.

My daughter's birthday was in February. In December when I was in Brazil I bought her a digital camera as an early gift. I asked her to take pictures of her party with her new camera to share with me, she never sent any. I sent her a gift (balloons, chocolates, a card) to her grandmother's address - it was not delivered. I redirected the gift to the school. She got it through the school and told me I shouldn't send things there again.

My second son had his Bar Mitzvah a few weeks ago when he turned 13. This is an important celebration in our tradition, similar to a Catholic confirmation. It is a time of great rejoicing, or should be. Even before the divorce, when we were still in Israel and I discussed with my kids their new upcoming life in Brazil, I told my son that what I'd like to do was have TWO celebrations for his Bar Mitzvah. His mother would do one in Brazil in March on his birthday. And I would organize another one in July with my family in Israel (I have extended family there). He was really happy about that - two parties instead of one, what kid would refuse?? Anyway, SHE basically gave him an ultimatum: choose March in Brazil with her family, or July in Israel with mine. But not both. Again putting him on the spot. Notice the difference in our approaches: I am all in favor of his celebrating with his mother's family - I want him to have good contact with her and her family. But I want that for me too!! SHE is making a 13 year old kid choose between them. Needless to say, he chose her, and March. I had to tell my parents, brother, sister, cousins... the July celebration is off. They were all disappointed, and somewhat upset with me that I don't "fight for my rights" more assertively.

What am I supposed to do????? I have a divorce agreement from ISRAELI COURTS written in HEBREW. I live in the US. The kids are in BRAZIL, where the language is Portuguese, which I don't speak. I don't know anyone there. I actually went as far as finding 2 family law firms in Recife (her city) that were willing to take my case. It would involve translating the divorce agreement from Hebrew to Portuguese, submitting it to the supreme court in Brasilia (the capital) to be adjudicated as a binding document in the Brazilian system, and then using that to pursue my rights in Recife. All this would take many, many months and years, and many thousands of dollars. All with no guarantee of success. I may still pursue this path, but I basically backed down when I realized what I was up against.

Back to the Bar Mitzvah - I asked my son when it would be? The ritual part in the synagogue can only be done on certain days when the Torah is read - Monday or Thursday mornings, or on the Sabbath (Saturdays). He didn't want to tell me when it would be!!! I had to pry it out of him that it would be on a Thursday. That day I went to work, knowing that my son was 'becoming a man' and that I was not invited or welcome to participate, or even give him my wishes from afar. I felt horrible all day long.

It's now our Passover holiday. This is traditionally the holiday when family gets together and shares the ceremonial 'Seder' meal. My parents have come to my new home in Chicago to join me for it. I was so hopeful that my fiancee would have been here with me by now to meet my parents (she has meet my Mom but never my Dad) and to participate in our holiday. Unfortunately, NVC frustrated that plan. I was hopeful that my kids would be available on Skype during this week that my parents are here, so that they could see and interact with their grandparents. My son sent an email saying he hoped to be on Sunday evening. Last weekend I had Skype open all day long each day Sat/Sun. They never showed up. I sent them repeated emails, saying this weekend is the last chance for us to share some time together online during the Passover holiday before my parents return to Canada on Sunday. I've gotten no responses from them. They're not online.

Well, that's about it. I don't know what else to say. My hope is that perhaps over time they will change, she will change, something will change. At some point they will get older and decide how important is their relationship to their Dad. My oldest is 16, almost 17. He's a year away from college. He says he wants to study in Canada. He's absolutely brilliant - he's doing AP level courses in math and physics. He's a shoo in for any school he wants to go to. Perhaps when (if!!!) he leaves Brazil and comes to North America, the situation will improve. He has a lot of hostility, partly just usual teenager stuff (I remember myself at 16/17), partly his anger at his moronic parents who put him in this situation (I can't fault him there).

You hear all these stories about deadbeat dads who abandon their kids and don't want to know about them. I'm not saying I'm the world's greatest dad. Far from it!!! But - (a ) I prepaid the first 18 months of child support in advance!!! She's got all the money up to next March 2010, which is perhaps why she feels she can stick it to me now. What kind of deadbeat does that?? (b ) I'm making every effort to speak to my kids, to see them, to remain involved in their life, to remember birthdays and important events, to know what they're doing at school, to guide them as they approach university applications, to offer my support for their university studies.... I am hardly a bad dad, I think. And she is PURPOSEFULLY, MALICIOUSLY, preventing me from even the most basic contact with them. In FULL, FLAGRANT violation of the terms of our divorce agreement. And she has apparently co-opted the kids to see this as 'normal' and not something to struggle against. She was once the woman that I loved, that I thought I would share my life with. She then became a woman I felt sorry for, and wanted to encourage to pick up the pieces of her life post-divorce just as I was trying to do with mine. I don't think I can share my feelings about her right now. The language I would choose would not be family friendly.

I'm so happy I have my honey. She is my guiding strength through this. She knows my story, she has always counseled me to be patient, and to not lose hope. She is confident that I will not lose my kids. My family too is my rock. My parents, my brother, my sister. All are supportive of me. I couldn't do this without them.

As for me, I'm just waiting, I guess. Waiting for my honey to finally come from Thailand. Waiting for my kids to to return my efforts to stay in touch. And I fill my time. With work, which keeps me busy. And with VJ, which has completely addicted me of late. So if you think I'm obsessive with the "AP@NVC" statistics page I'm working on, that's probably true. But at least it lets me channel my time and energy into something more useful than moping about my loneliness for my honey and my kids.

Thanks for letting me vent.

UsCandual..read your story very moving...you are good Dad..remember do Good....Good thing will come to you..absolutely heart moving..story..God bless you..

Hi .. glad you finally got your case #. Congrats on that step, and hope everything moves quickly for you now.

For everyone who is facing this problem, keep in mind that NVC is obviously up to something in recent months.

Starting approx. last November they began holding up cases for AP (Administrative Processing) at NVC in unusually high numbers and for extended periods of time - up to about 7 weeks. Perhaps this latest wrinkle of delaying the issuing of NVC case #s of NOA2 approvals is part of the same "game" they are playing. This is a trend worth following.

Good luck to all.

Hi Uscandual .....thanks for your compliment.......yes NVC is up to something..for K1 visa...before they have assigned case # forward to consulate......that is not so to many case now.......for AP whatever reason...as you see I have to wait damn over 4 weeks just file form USCIS TO NVC get there.....hopefully my file won't take too much time to get it out..I will check with them some time next week to see as Lady told me today they have just enter in NVC ..I want all K1 file process through NVC......good luck to all.............

Wow, maybe they are finally back to actually working! As I've said, I will call them again, and when I did, they actually asked me to verify information. I provided my and her email address. They had my address correct, but for some reason, they got my phone number wrong?!?! So I corrected her with my correct phone number. Regardless, I asked her when they have received it, she said yesterday. The lady was not very nice, but regardless, I am happy that I finally got my petition. Thank God!!! Now I just hope it will get pass NVC quickly and on to Hong Kong. Again, good luck to us all.

SpikeyFlip......Alias........Good to hear you all got NVC case #.......Alias your file at NVC fot there .quick...look at mine took over 4 week...I am glad...for you all including for me.. that now our case is at NVC......soon we will be out..Good luck to all hai thanks posting....it..so other know...

Back to topic. I just called the NVC number today and went through their automated system. Says it's not in their system (yet). It's not yet 4 weeks so hopefully they'll get it soon. Not frustrated...was actually expecting it'll be another slow process (see my timeline for NOA 2 approval lol), but I do have a letter already written up just in case (was originally for NOA2 if it went past 6 months).

NVC case # waiting as of today 4/9/09

So, we have only been stuck for about 17 days but the lack of information is so maddening.

My understanding is as follows:

No one seems to know why some cases get selected for additional processing (one member was apparently told it was random for them). Could having filed for an IMBRA waiver be a cause? Could having an RFE from the USCIS be a cause? Has anyone ever known why they were selected?

What is the actual additional processing? Additional background checks? Reviewing everything the USCIS adjudicator already did?

I read here that the NVC can't deny a previoulsy approved petition (what would be the point of additional review if that is true?).

The NVC does not issue RFE's. (true?)

The NVC does not send cases back to the USCIS.

Just venting and looking for answers ...

Number of posibility I see ....I dont want to discuss here.....or I dont want to hurt anybody's feeling here..that apply to me also by the way......what I see so far your timeline......all been approved quick..you right they can't deny your I129F if all is true.....so wait few more days /week......ok how about my case.....I have filed my NOA1 on October 2008

NOA2 received in 3/5/09..USCIS's last touch 3/6/09........still NVC have not received my file.....NVC saying it may take 2-4 week NVC to receive from USCIS...my 4 week is up.......they are also saying...they won't do anything up to 90 days..???? Now this is America.......I can expect in 3rd world country..I think my file been misplace......I have contacted to my US senator their case rep will contact to them.....as far as I know my 4 week is up.....all other USCIS or NVC talk is BS........Good Luck......

It has been 3 weeks since we received our approval on 12 March 2009. Got the hardcopy of NOA2 on the 19 March 2009. It says on the approval letter that USCIS has sent our petition to NVC.We heard nothing yet but hope it wont be long until we receive it.It says may take 2-4 weeks.

Bintang..Did you received case number from NVC yet..? as of today 4/8/09 no good news from NVC form me I have written letter to my US senator their case rep will check in to my case mean time waiting.....I think people who received NOA2 around my time frame ( 3/5/09) all must have got their NVC case #.....I hope people post their experience...here....sad I see more people reading it......Good Luck to all in their VJ..

Our NOA2 (hard-copy) came on 03/30, but the date on the NOA2 is 03/25. I know it's only been about a week, but these delays are causing some slowdown in our planning on when my fiancée can be here. I checked USCIS website and they still list my case as pending, even though I'm holding the NOA2 in my hands.

I'm hoping that NVC is able to process our cases quickly and forward them to the respective embassies/consulates.

you guys......received NOA2 in less than 2 month damn good..!!!!! hopefully you guys get quick NVC case # some people are lucky....rule of thumb is people should hear from NVC ..with in 2-4 week........from the day of issue of NOA2.....good luck .....

still as of today 4/7/09 no NVC case number for us.......very frustrated some people after my NOA2 date already received NVC case #......and most of received NVC case # about my NOA2 date...written letter to Texas senator......their case worker will call them....I know my file has been misplaced.....still hoping to hear soon atleast before april 15 th 2009......good luck..

There are some K-visas that are backloged too - I have watched several people after me get their NVC case number and we are just hearing the 4-6 weeks spiel.

Any other K-visas waiting to get checked into NVC?

Yes me.....you must have seen my name on thread.. I have NOA2(K1 visa) received in E-mail on 3/5/09..as of today 4/4/09 no good news form NVC..for me..very frustrating..... same answer from them....may take 4 week up 90 days Bla.Bla...Bla.

my case is evern worse..I have filed my I129F from VSC and NVC also in same state....not far anyway.....why taking so long time....? today also I have written letter to US Senator from my district...my 4 week time is up...

NVC FINALLY SAID, CASE RECEIVED ! AH! It feels like a huge rock just dropped. I was so stressed out about it~ I called this morning but they said... nope... so, I thought I call again 6:37 PM... and yes ! The NVC Operator said... please verify, petition & beneficiary name & dob! yes yes yes! so happy~ now, next stage... hoping that our case get's forwarded to Seoul Embassy ASAP. I'm so thankful for VJ, its really a great place that we can come together and help eachother.

Good luck to those who received their NVC case #.....my 4 week waiting is up..just now wrote letter to our US Senator from Texas and forwarded my detail information to them.. USCIS /NVC may talk to them as i have been told senator office do have back-door phone #.......they are familiar with issue..in my case my file should not take 4 week time..as VSC and NVC in same state......

It has been 3 weeks since we received our approval on 12 March 2009. Got the hardcopy of NOA2 on the 19 March 2009. It says on the approval letter that USCIS has sent our petition to NVC.We heard nothing yet but hope it wont be long until we receive it.It says may take 2-4 weeks.

no telling..my NOA2 received in E mail on 3/5/09.........close to now 4 week...I am calling NVC almost everyday......they are telling me give few more days...... week.... what I think there is some procedural change at NVC....I mean the way they process K1 visa at NVC........I will give another week.......good luck to all of us..

I'm starting to think IF NVC not receiving our case has something to do with our case not being updated on the USCIS WEBSITE...our case is still showing PENDING.... last touched 2/24/2009. Although we have received our NOA 2 notice date: 3/20/2009.

Just wondering, for those of you, NVC haven't received your case, has your online status been updated?

I recieved hard copy of NOA2 Approval Notice dated March 19th. I am still not updated in system and my status shows at last touch on Feb 19th and still pending. The NVC hasn't recieved our case yet. NVC said average time is 2-4 weeks for them to recieve cases from USCIS after NOA2 is issued but that it could take up to 90 days ! I called USCIS and was told it could take 60 days for them to update their database but that as long as I have the hardcopy NOA2 not to worry. The NVC was supposed to be the quick part so I'm incredibly frustrated. Looks like a new trend is starting here.

I am hoping that the NVC has recieved our cases but just hasn't updated their system yet (like USCIS). There is no telling but I hope we all get our cases in and out of the NVC as soon as possible. Good Luck to all!

you are right ..I am thinking same that ..NVC has our file and working on it...they have not enter in their system yet.what I am hopping in next couple of days we will receive letter from NVC stating assign case # file is on the way to beneficiary American consulate... good luck to all of us...

Our case was approved and received hard copy 3/24/09. I have gotten through that 603 number by calling at night and hitting the redial many many times and they haven't received our case yet. I assume its on its way.

congratulation on your quick I129F approval.. very quick.. you have to keep calling 603-334-0700 after several try.. once connected pres#1 then #5 wait for them.... in any case if you dont want to call ok too.they will send you letter from NVC...... seems like there is change in procedure at NVC.....average time is + 4 week form day of NOA2 approval notice......good Luck..

It's been 2 weeks since my NOA2. Not at NVC yet. Hopefully soon.

Good you have posted ....lets hear from other people those who are waiting for NVC case #...

Me, Its been 3 weeks since NOA2 and my case is still not in the system.

Glemarc and other on this thread.. thanks for posting sharing.. ok we are in same boat.. time wise.. I have also received my NOA2 in e -mail on 3/5/09 and Hard copy in mail 3/12/09.. so what I think...procedure must have changed at NVC......they are working on our file..once their paper work done..they will send our file to our Finacee country same time they will notify us by mail.. in past K1 file to get from USCIS to NVC tookunder week why longer now..?

let you all know ...just now called NVC....told me other end...what is my NOA2 notice date...? told me give us little more time.. told me same thing it can take anywere from 2-4 weeks..in most case..to receive in their system..so have to wait....i am going in to 4th week soon....
