Called and tried to talk to Ruth. But the receptionist wouldn't transfer me to her. so now i just wait for her to call me back as she has my case number and phone number. Hoping i dont get hit with RFE.

ok i told you all that you can call this other women to her name is Christina she is the congressional officer there and she will help you toooo....her number is....949-389-8097 this is her direct number she gave this to me...so call now

What i am doing is writing a letter for each topic that they asked for. Also providing pics, plane tickets, new passport copy (married name), phone bills, emails, notarized documents from parents, bank statements, employer letters etc. Hopefully that will be enough. BUT I PRAY I DONT GET THE RFE.

you will be fine just call CSC if you are over the processing time and call ruth or christina and you will be fine they will find your file and tell you....but you have to wait for that letter from them cos you need the blue hard copy that they send you before you send it....and it has to be on the top....but you seem to have everything you need dont worry it will be fine....i was panicing to but it will be fine....i felt so much better after sending it and so will you

Hi Marie I pray you get your approval very soon...you are way overdue for it

thank you both very much and you just have to follow what they ask for nothing more nothing less and it does cost a bit here from VA the cost for almost 11 pounds was 64.00 so you might want to know that ....but if you dont have something you can write on paper why or what is the reason you dont have it but any documents you have to have like i said i had to wait to get mine from my old attorney for my final divorce and here in the states you would not have to have a judge sign off on it cos there is the seal....but they needed the judge to sign off on it that is what took so long...but other then that just send what they ask for dont forget to do it over nite and to have them sign for it when they pick it up...okie dokie

Good monrning my wonderfull vj family....I just wanted to update again.....Today i sent everything out and tomorrow they will get it i even called that women Ruth gave her my tracking number she is pulling our file and going to wait for my package to come.....and put it together...now i also got intouch with my senators aid and she has this info as well so she will make sure nothing goes wrong....hahhahahaha hope they are ready to read omg so much......so now just cross those fingers and toes and pray to God that they will process us quickly now and maybe by next week we will be approved....and for other info if you need to call the CSC congressional person in charge her name is Christina her phone number is 949-389-8097 and Ruth's number again is 949-389-3004 ask for her if you are over the processing time and she is goood to help you .....anyways have a good day and God bless........Inshaallah

Hey March filers! I wanted to share the news that our interview has been scheduled for October 27, 2010. I also wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all the support and well wishes!! Reading about your own stories and struggles has made this whacked journey much easier for me. I really learned a lot and couldn't have found better filing buddies. Hopefully my visa will be approved and we'll be able to start a new journey soon

Thats great Marie. You know success is never measured by the ups and downs. What counts is the results of your efforts and the best way to get positive result is persistence. Just keep plugging away and eventually you will succeed. You also will learn alot along the way...

yes thank you my husband and I have learned alot since we have filed with these people omg they have taught us to be more patient then anything....even with the furstration they can not break our love or spirits...and now they will have nothing to say but yes they are approved...and we saw some who have sent in the RFE...request and got approved like 3-5 days later so by next week we are shooting for an approval....may God bless us with our journey and everyones as well

ok well we got RFE....so we are sending everything again the only thing i did not send them is our conversations because my husband brought them to the interview but now they requested them....anyways i sent them the original of my final decree of my divorce before and they want another one so i had to go threw the court were i got the divorce and i have been waiting for that....it has taken two weeks for it and so they will send it to me tomorrow.....now we are sending all wedding pictures....thousands of conversation from yahoo/skype/msn.....etc. we have all the paper work they need now so they can not say anything....you just have to send all you can...but when they request more you have to go by what they request....but they will regret it

Good mornig everyone how are you all....Congrats to all who are moving in this journey and hope to hear all good news from the rest...just an update....tomorrow i am having my last legal document that i need to send CSC our RFE....Thank God everything is ready to go i am just waiting for this one document...so by monday or tuesday i will mail it overnite to CSC...now lets see what they are going to say.....they will wish they never asked us for more evidence....anyway just an update have a great day.....

Ok! Ok! Ok! I contacted my honorable Senator's office to talk to one such lady. She looked CSC's processing time and told me it's has only been 4 months and 8 days. I should wait until 5 months are over. Then I can contact her again. This all makes so much sense. I'm not really anxious about this whole case yet. Just wanted to call the Senator, which I have never done so in my life. I feel accomplished and somehow a bit more citizen-y now.

I part of me believes that I will get my the NOA2 this month. There hasn't been any touch on my case. Though I know touches aren't the end-all-be-all of approval, it does definitely dampen my optimism. This coupled with recent dry spell in approvals are a bit disorientating. I cannot properly plan for my vacation as this is pending. And trust me fools, I need a vacation just about now.

good morning indigoskies...listen i called both senators and congressman so it dont matter but telling you it is to soon that is not what the senators aid did with us so i would try the other one cos they will either send you an authorization form to fill out and send back to get the info on your case or they will just tell you to e-mail them with all the info giving them permission to get the info like they did with us....and then she gets in touch with the person that is with there office at the service center and they will look at your case then you will your case has been touched usually it will show they touched your file when they look in it...anyway i hope you get an approvl or some info on your case soon...God speed....Inshaallah

good morning everyone sorry for no updates but me and my husband have been working hard for these past days we are printing and doing omg almost 4 years of everything so they will be very sorry they will wish the hell they never bothered us at all and i hope they leave us alone after this and do there job and get my husband over here with no more problems.....anyway we want to say CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to all our family who got there approvals and my God speed your journey...Inshaallah......God bless

Congrats Paulsen!!! Looks like it was a day for J names to get SIF's. :dance: :dance: :thumbs:

ok when you call 949-389-3004 there is a women and you tell her that you tried everything with USCIS or if she askes you if you talked to Ruth already say yes and you have been waiting for her to call you back she is there believe me....and thank you very much tor your caring about us....

all you have to send in is the application and the birth certificate and marriage all copies of and pics of the marriage, income verification biographic application passport copy and what else they just ask you on the I-130 application it is just like the I-129F for fiance just the marriage certificate and then when it gets to Visa Center they will tell you if they need the original marriage certificate and all what else then at the embassy my husband will bring all the copies of everything for the interview....but i did all this so i dont know except somethimes they do want the original of the marriage certificate if they request it....

Ruth called me and told me that i needed to send in more evidence so i ask her what do i need she said i dont know but she had my case so who knows but she told me it will take anywhere from 2-3 weeks omg this is crazy they have nothing better to do....i told her if she told me i could overnite it and still she would not tell me damn...anyway i will update you on what i find out from the senators office thank you all for listening.....

thank you very much us to we hope and pray for all of you to have a smoothe journey

Sorry to hear about your RFE Marie. As time passes, I am getting more and more anxious and concerned about our petition as well. IF we got a RFE, I don't know what else they would need from us, but you never know.

tell me about it i sent them everything the only thing sometimes they ask for an original marriage certificate that is all i can think of...good luck to you also on this journey and thank you

sorry to hear that marie. Did u take a look at the thread "Request for Evidence"? I think you should just in case. I looked at that thread and started collecting all the documents mentioned in that document. I dont know but I have a really bad feeling about this that i might (hoping not) will get a RFE as well. But I should be ready with the documents when i go back to see my wife next friday. Will have her sign like 10 letters and also bring back a lot of things as proofs.

Again sorry to hear about ur RFE but good luck and have patience.

thank you but i also e-mailed my senators aid and she had them to pull my file now to let me know what i need so i can overnite it by tomorrow...it means alot but like i said we were touched 9 times and they never sent us anything

what i mean is that your old I-129F petitions that you file and sent back to uscis with a denial have nothing to do or have any conflict with another I-129F or a I-130 petiton that you file that is what i meant i am sorry for the incorrect spelling but if you need to know anything else i will be more than happy to explain

ok let me make this clear i am not talking about the I-129F if you are filing the k-3 or CR1 i am only talking about past petitions that you did before you got married if you were denied then it will not interfere with the new petitions you are filing for now

Thanks for the info Marie. But senior is lost in between your lines - see below, for example:

"...i also found out that nothing with your new petitions have anything to do with your new ones"

What exactly you mean by "...i also found out that nothing with your new petitions have anything to do with your new ones"?

plzzzzzzzz and thanks in advance.
