I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about. They will extend it on their own if it comes down to it to the best of my knowledge. I have seen this question before just can't remember the explanation for why they do this, but I do know you need not stress about it. Hopefully someone will come along with a more informative answer or you can try searching for something similar here on VJ.
Best of luck to you.

I knew there would be a comment of this nature. Your comment is not helpful. I agree that getting pregnant is not what was best in this situation and they are both aware of that as well. The fact is that the situation exists now. And I don't know about you but I personally believe that what God wills will be and it doesn't matter if she had been cut tied and burned, she would get pregnant. Now as far as her circumstances go, extreme hardship would be the case and unless you have all the facts I do not think that is your decision to make.
I do however appreciate your intial answer thank you for your time.

You're Welcome.
I hope you can find a way through this and keep your marriage together. I know the entire moving to America adjustment has been very hard on my wife. There have been so many times, I wouldn't even try to count them, that she has become upset and unreasonable about anything. "I will never...", "Send me home", "I miss my family", "I hate....", so many hard things said at times when she was emotionally hurting and home sick. For the most part I've managed to stay calm, avoid feeling hurt (even if I was), and did my best to support and comfort her through her pain. Its working, although she's one of those that will only slowly adjust to life in America. There were times I've felt like just granting her wish and getting her a ticket home. But I know I'm the one that needs to be strong for us when she's feeling weak. And its slowly working. The home sickness and related out bursts have gotten less frequent and less painful for her. Instead of trying to push me away during these times, she's moving towards leaning on me for my support. I guess what I'm trying to say is, its not easy for some to make this big move. They will say and do things they really don't mean in their heart because they're hurting. Try to see if the refusal to attend the biometrics is an emotional reaction response, or really a marriage ending. Its not easy trying to deal with an emotionally hurting spouse, and maybe you don't have it in you to. Only you and your wife know if you two can make it or give up. Good luck to you how ever it turns out.

I personally think that the pregnancy wouldn't be looked at as something that they intended to happen. She has gone to the UK to visit him 3 times in the last year. They have had plenty of time to get pregnant.
My definition of extreme hardship doesn't seem to fit this situation upon further investigation. But it sure is going to be terribly hard for her.

No one is looking for feel good answers. I am looking for humanity, kindnesss. Is Thanksgiving not tomorrow? Do not presume what I appreciate and what I do not.
And I ask on a public forum because I am still naive enough to believe that every single person in the world is good hearted.

It’s all good Visa in hand and she is here now ... The journey is brutal the ups are up but wow the downs I don't know if there is one proper word to describe it "Exasperating plus"
HOWEVER LOVE ALWAYS PREVAILS 1 Cor 13:8

It has been a wonderful week as I pick Julie up last Monday. At first site I ran to her and told her I loved her and would never let you go. From SFO we went home in a Limo, but my poor sweetheart was so tired she took one sip of champagne and slept half the way. When we got home there on the porch were some item’s I shopped for over the internet that included her favorite coffee, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and a few other English items she likes. Then as we walked in there was her dog Molly very excited and her cat Custard, 2 dozen roses and a card that read FOREVER LOVE with some US spending money, 1 ½ closets, 2 dressers and a full bed and bath room empty just for her. I have thought to myself these closing weeks here is a beautiful women who sold her home, gave up a great paying job, not to mention her family and friends … I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN ON THE EARTH ... Julie and I are enjoying shopping, decorating, gardening, church, walks in the parks and dining out. She has already picked out her wedding dress and we have the church, pastor, photographer and songs all set for 19th of Nov 2001. We are learning how to work and communicate together as a couple and make plans for our future. I cannot thank God enough for bringing us together finally and for the love and the support from all of you. x

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but sometime ago I found this online and thought it would be helpful to us in the future. http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf
Hope it helps. Also USCIS has all the information needed, it is just a matter of sorting through it. You can also tell your brother in law to start a profile here and most every question he has I am sure someone here will have the answer for him.
Best of luck!

Thank you everyone for your replys. We did send the 6 passport photos.
No I don't take as you being hard on me
I didn't see any where that it was required and was just double checking. It seems everytime we send off papers I get worried.

This website is amazing and has some of the best people. That being said, there are some people on here who seem to just want to make people feel stupid or bring them down. I have seen posts asking about booking flights and scheduling weddings and yes, you shouldn't do any of that until the visa is in hand but NO ONE IS PERFECT. People get excited and may get bad advice and jump the gun a bit. Does that give anyone the right to be mean or disrespectful to someone else? We are ALL on here b/c we want to marry our loved one so maybe people could try having a little compassion for the other people on here. If someone asks a question that you think is stupid, JUST DON'T REPLY!!!!! My mother always used to say "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". Maybe some of the people on here need to follow that mantra. Just b/c you're miserable doesn't mean you have to try to convert everyone else into a life of misery as well.
Good luck to everyone and God bless!!

Is no one reading and understanding that I have 3 kids. I may have a ex-husband, but I would never ever do something like up and move to canada and take my kids from their father, so I don't understand why I keep getting comments to move to canada. Are you saying that I should tear my kids away from their father, or suggesting I leave them behind?
Neither are an option. I believe in my God above and believe that he has put Rick and I together for a reason, and he will make a way.

Wow, your jumping to conclusions here. First I never said I asked him to come here, it has been his choice to move here to be with me. Secondly, I never mentioned that I wasn't willing to move to Canada, but since you are mentioning it, I think that you should know that I have 3 children whom their father would never in a million years sign for my kids to move out of the country. First that is not the kind of person I am, to up and move my kids away from their father. My kids would suffer because of that. And secondly, my fiance has 2 children that are adults now, so it is much easier to have him move here.
Why do you think that we did not have a conversation about who would be moving where?
You've made a lot of assumptions that are not accurate.
You have said nothing in this post that has been uplifting at all, but quite the opposite, and that is not what this forum is for, but instead it is for us to be able to come here for support. I have looked at my other options and right now, I don't see any. Desperate? Yes, maybe I might sound a little desperate to find a solution to this problem, cause this is my soulmate and my best friend we are talking about. Living life without him is not a option. My fiance has a good career in canada, but the field which he has expertise in is slim in canada but not here in the states, so he is excited about moving down here and getting back to doing what he loves.

Because he wants to send it, that's why.
And because a package that has some relationship evidence is not a bad thing. The petition goes on to the consulate and is reviewed by the CO before the interview. I don't see what the OP is sending as "overly heavy" on evidence.

I haven't gotten one, and you have two. Can I have one?

There are two different type AP's. There is the AP (sometimes called AR) that is at the embassy level (where they are checking into your case or documents a little more) and there is the AP where they do name checks in Washington DC.
Call DOS and ask them about the status of your case. They will most probably tell you that your case is in Administrative processing. Ask them if it is at the embassy level or if it is name checks in Washington DC.

Yes you are very right...as long as we do everything we possibly can to prevent from our side and let the CO do thier job that's all we can do..ALLAH will do the rest...and InshALLAH we will be together soon

You get what u expect.always hope n wish for good INSHA'ALLAH every thing will be good if u keep ur moral so low and think like that then how ALLAh will help you .i know chances are very rare in ur case to get visa without AP but if you trust ALLAh and dont think like that all will be fine.if its happens nothing u can do but wish for good....

I personally don't. My guy is the one that keeps me going. He is strong and I am not. He has his moments though and we have to change roles and I be the strong one, but without him I would lose it. Lean on one another, that is my advice. I the grande scheme of things this is a very short amount of time.
Another piece of advice, do what you're doing. Bond with your fellow VJer's. Vent that is what we are all here for, to answer questions and vent.
I wish you both the best and if you ever need anything, feel free to PM me. I know it gets hard.

If this is a clerical error by the USCIS... guess what you qualify for?
http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD
By the way, from this point on pleaes remember to send USCIS an email requesting reason for Brazilian evidence when your petition clearly states your Fiance is from Ukraine. Then, make the call in addition to that but take notes of who and when you spoke to them. Then, you can attach any information given to you, in black and white to them (to verify what you say is true and correct and the possible error by USCIS). Everything in writing and good documentation from you, OK?
Good Luck and keep us posted!

- CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER PROCESSING TIMELINE, IS IT FAST? HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR YOUR NOA2?
- HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR YOUR NOA2? WHICH SERVICE CENTER PROCESSED YOUR I-129F?
- HOW ARE YOU COPING UP WITH ALL THE WAIT?
We went through CSC, and I have to say all things considered in our case it did go by faster then expected. Our NOA1 was dated 12-29-2010 and our NOA2 was dated 04-12-2011, so not too too long.
We didn't cope with the wait. It was hard, it is still hard. We had other issues and even requested our case be expedited but we were denied. You just have to be as patient as you can and know that this is something that for right now is just not in your hands. Try to find solace in one another during this time. Make plans and try not to let the stress turn into arguments with one another. We were guilty of that a time or two. Just stay strong and remember that this will all pay off in the end. All of it will be worth it and in the grand scheme of things this is a very small portion of your life. You will look back on this a few years from now and think how quick this all went by.
I wish you both the best and if you need an "ear", I will be more than happy to help you in anyway I can. Good luck!!!

I received a text about my NOA1 on a Sunday if that's any help.

Unfortunately, if your parents call or email the consulate it very well might sink your fiance's chances of getting a visa. They usually take reports from family members pretty seriously.
I think you really need to put your foot down with your parents. It's time to cut that apron string. You've been an adult for a decade now. You're more than old enough to be making these decisions for yourself. If I were in your shoes, I'd tell my parents to either accept the decision I made and welcome my fiance into the family, or stay out of it entirely. I'd also make it clear that if they did anything to sabotage the visa then I'd move to Honduras, marry my fiance, and they'd never hear from me again. Ever.
