    Newbie question

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    as the previous poster said it depends on where the USC lives but an average would be 6-9 months if all runs smooth.....

    It is best NOT to book any flights or make plans on a date of marriage as it is hard and costly if things go wrong or you come across a problem and you get held up......

    All the best and welcome to VJ

    "Notice of interview cancellation by USCIS"

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted · Edited by 1daysoon

    You should contact the office where your interview is scheduled for and ask them ...... please do not wait .....

    I waited then i got a denial letter and the letter said that we had to leave the country because we didnt go to the interview......

    I went to the local office when i got the denial and took all the proof that we had saying that it had been canceled.....the main office had cenceled but NOT the local that was doing the interview.....

    they did give us another interview date as it was their fault and all is done now we have been approved

    Quick question

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    I know I am thinking way ahead of time but I just had a letter from the lady who gave us our interview and it says on letter that we have to apply for conditions to be removed in Aug/Nov 2008 , 2 yrs from our AOS interview...... :help:

    I thought it was that you got them removed 2 years from your wedding date , that would be in OCT 2007.....

    Reason why I am asking is I dont want to go past the date ( if it is from our wedding ) and get a letter saying we are to leave the country :(

    Any ideas

    Well listen to this :-

    There really are some nice people in the immigration service

    Got to Greer for the infopass appointment at 8.30 am and waited in car till 8.45 as they will not let you in till 15 mins before the interview.

    Handed in eticket for appointment and had bag searched

    A lovely lady called my name and we went up to her. She smiled and asked how could she help. I explained to her about the email that we had received informing us that the interview had been canceled and also showed her a print out of what our portfolio still shows on the USCIS website that it had been cancelled. So I asked how could we go the interview when they had canceled it.Also said that I had called the info line and they told me that we had to wait 30 days from the date we received the cancelation email which would have been Sept 30th, the day we got the DENIAL letter

    She said that on her PC we were still scheduled for the appointment and the main USCIS had not informed them that it had been canceled. She went to see if our files were still there and luckily they are

    I had to write a short letter eaplaing to them what had happened and asking them to re-open the case. She put that letter with all the copies of the emails,and print outs of the USCIS portfolio web page and took them to her supervisor and he said YES they will re-open our case

    She appologised for the mistake and said we would get another date soon. I asked her if she had any idea when and she said it should be NOV.....I also asked if I was ok to return to work now and she said yes......

    MY word of advise to anybody who gets an EMAIL stating that their interview is cancelled is to write a letter to the district office that the interview is going to be held at, you cannot phone but they will reply to a letter.

    I hope this will save many others going through the frustration and worry that we did.
