sent i130 this sept 29...got noa1 after two weeks....wonderin how many days for noa2 from csc

..so after the whole immigration process im now here on IR1 visa.....and now i need a job, my ssn hasnt arrived yet but i know it will, so im trying to look for a job here in orange county california and places near it, fullerton, brea, anaheim,garden grove etc......anybody have idea where should i apply, or thers hiring going on,..btw..im a nurse....but.im not limiting myself to nurse jobs...any input will be appreciated..thanks so much

One week from now on September 26, 2011. I will reach my 5 month limit. I received my NOA1 on April 26, 2011. I have still not received an NOA2! I called my Congressman and I have to wait till Monday to hear any news from him about our NOA2.

I am just completely pissed off right now because there's no one to tell me anything on why it's delayed. If I did anything wrong I should received a RFE by now. I have not received anything! I thought I was very detailed in preparing our I-129F. I followed the guides and had a relative (fellow VJer who is in the USA now after K-1 approval) look over our paperwork with me. I double checked, triple checked, I had everything neatly organized and had a table of contents and all that #######. I guess none of that matters... because I read posts on here where people don't even follow the guides and have barely enough evidence get approved in 3-4 months.

Anyway, sorry for ranting... I have not slept well for the entire month of September because of the whole NOA2 mess. My question is...

Has anyone ever go past the 5 months limit for K-1 Visa NOA2 approvals? Did they ever give you a reason for the delay?

we waited over 5 months for our NOA2 and the reason of the delay was the FAMOUS TRANSFER FROM CSC to TSC...

Tnx sis too and congrats for u having ur visa with u now, i know the feelings.....im going to pick up mine on the 20th then get it stamp sticker and 21st will fly out, and same as yours im packed up too, ready and so excited...God bless and von voyage too.....

i will pray for your safe trip as well as your kids....

i wore long sleeve suit tpos yellow green inside k..bka nga ngkausap tau we just dnt know each other...well about the 2go i called them up this morning and said that my papers still at the embassy and told me to call about every 4pm coz thats the time the embassy release papers to them, so hoping to have it soon and so urs...have a blessed day

sis ..i jz went to 2go website and na trace ko na ung delivery ng visa ko....early this morning puro invalid pa nakukuha but then when i tried it again jz now...un na IN TRANSIT na sya and may summary na ng destination...hopefully i gt to receive it tomorrow na....try to check ung syo kasi baka intransit na rin....sabi rin kasi ng 2go sa kin kaninang morning nasa embassy pa raw pero now intransit na...

ahh aga u pla ntpos, nandun din me about 7am then my number dont start to flash for about 1030 and ntpos ako mg noon na...kainis tgal k nga nghntay...wat number u? mine is 6131..

About sa 2go sv nla d2 u can track it using ur MNL number sa may tracking: etrace, i tried mine but its says invalid sv nla just keep on checking coz it will just show up...Sv naman dun sa embassy ng 2go they will contact as they have it recieve from the embassy...hahahay kakaloka tlga mghntay nohhhh.............let just keep in touch ha....

anu kulay ng suot mo dun? sa tingin ko kasi nag kausap pa tyo 6131 sounds familliar...ung isa ko kasi na meet dun ang tagal rin iflash ng number nya long hair sya from leyte and may mga katabi sya na hindi pa rin na pa flash ang nmbers baka isa ka na duon....

anyways, i also tried tracking the documents at 2go but js like you INVALID shows up...i tried calling their customer number but cant get through....i think all we have to do is wait and pray for God to intervene again....

goodluck to us...

waiting for my visa on hand...............................

APPROVED APPROVED...thanks God

Hello journey, i had my interview last may 11, 2011 with my daughter the pre-interviewer asked the I-864 and the final interviewer (consul) didnt asked anything...but there is a vj member that had her interview last may 6, 2011 and she was on hold because the consul asked her I-864 and she dont have a copy of it coz her husband told her that they already submitted it to NVC to USEM...so you better have it and ready than not to have it and wait...goodluck and godbless

thanks for this ...i know my husband he wouldnt let me be on the interview without the complete papers, maybe hes just too busy. .and maybe im just in a panic mode for the interview and my stressball is my husband.

Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! Did you contact the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) about taking the exam for the CA nursing license?

u mean there is another exam after the NCLEX? i thought thats it and when i submit to them ssn they will process my license cz thats the content of the letter i received from them.

Did you take and pass the NCLEX ?

yes i did took it and passed..

i sympathize with you. i'm sure a loving husband and a good father would do everything to be with his wife and children as soon as possible. pray and pray always. God knows everything. he hears your woes and soon you will be a happy family united together in a home.

and just like a miracle...he will come to realize he need to do all that to be with his family. God bless. don't lose hope. God loves you.

hes a responsible father and a good husband, it js that hes not into paperworks and computers, he hates it. Im just praying that he will send me a copy of I864 before my interview. After the argument wehad the last time we talked, until now he havent called.

God will surely hear my prayers and i trust in Him.

Hey Journey...

Get through the interview, head to the States, and then let's see what happens...once you are here, there are all sorts of options open to you, and we'll all help you work through them. And let's hope there are no other surprises once you get to the embassy...this is messy, so come back if you need more help after the interview.

Bless you.

thanks magical...i will go to the interview

That is the right attitude to have, many times we have to play the game with the cards we are dealt. I am glad you feel better about your up coming interview. The only thing you can do is to have the documents ready according to the letter you have. You have too much work and effort invested to 'throw up your hands' now, the finish line is in sight.

Like one other poster mentioned, just get here and you will have other options that open up to you... not currently available to you. As a nurse, you will do very well here once you meet all requirements and get employed.

And that 10 year issue, that is a whole other conversation.

thanks...i saw on ur profile ur from Orange ...hubby from costa mesa..i think its near....

still here too..interview date is on SEPT 12, 2011 MANILA EMBASSY....wish me luck...

Check your interview letter... it shows the list of papers that NVC received... u have no need to bring that for the interview..

but make sure your hubby submitted all required docs..

1. yours original birth certificate

2. original marriage certificate

3. PCC from passport Office

4. DS230 part 1 and 2

5. I864 n I864A

6. 2 passport size photos (2x2 size)

if anything is missing from this

it'll show on your interview letter..n CO will ask u for that.

on my interview letter I864 wasnt asked but tax transcripts, paystubs the documents that comes with it when we submitted it to the NVC...it wasnt even statd on the list under the correspondence instruction..FINANCIAL EVIDENCE is written there and have a status of Y meaning nvc received the documents already but I864 wasnt mentioned on that part....i do know the importance of it thats why even if its not asked i want to still bring it but unfortunately my dear husband doesnt like to print one again....

whether i have a copy or i dont have copy il go to the interview and take my chance....thanks to all ur advice....it really freshened up my mind...

Absolutely. if the interview letter says bring it you better bring it. If the interview letter doesn't say bring it, you still better bring it. Why in the world anyone would not include a document just because they heard it wasn't needed is beyond me. this is way too important (or should be) to leave stuff like this to chance. I would take copies of every document ever submitted and if a copy was submitted then I would take the originals.

So your relationship is built on a 10 year record of falsehood. That isn't a good sign. 10 years and he still needs to get a co-sponsor, and you have two kids now Something is a little crazy with this whole situation. Hate to say it, but I think you may be in for a rocky road after your arrival here. I hope I'm wrong for your and the kids sake. good luck

...more than 10 years he kept on saying for us to wait til the petition gets approved...once a year he comes home spend time with his family ...he needs a co sponsor cz hes job right now isnt paying well unlike before he works as a manager at a big company which also a reason why he doesnt have time to fix the petition hes too busy..and when he lose his job thats the time he realize he needs me..lol.....cz im a nurse...but i owe it to him cz hes the one who sends me to school to finish my nursing degree...im just hoping he will realize how important the I864 is...and sends me one before sept 12....i dont wanna bother asking it from him over and over again..ive done my part already...he just need to print a copy of it and signed it and emailed it to me,...

thanks

As previous posters have mentioned, make sure you take the I-864 with you to the interview. A friend of mine who recently went through his interview told me that the I-864 and the information contained on it is one of the most important things you will be asked about at the Consulate. Therefore, stay calm and have your husband mail you a copy. Just as others have said, do not give up, stay the course and see this through and I'm sure that you'll look back on this one day when you're all together and realize how glad you are that you never gave up. God Bless and all the best!

i know how important the I864 is to the interview thats why im so sad when my husband insist that its not needed anymore cz he doesnt want to make another copy, actually we have a copy on his email address i mailed it to him cz im the one who filled it up for him all he needs to do is to print it and signed it and mailed it back to me...still he cant do or doesnt want to do....il just wait til he realize i really need it...

...i know this topic isnt new here...but sorry guys, i just need to know and be sure...my interview will be on Sept 12, 2011 MNL Embassy..and im freakin out about the documents needed..ive read a lot of posts here..ive read that i should "bring a copy or the original I864, /a that was submitted

to the interview, then ive also read :no need to bring i864 for the interview...i know that it is stated in the Packet 4 what are the things to bring and it includes I864, thats why im freakin out cz until now my husband my petitioner havent emailed me the I864 documents he and his mom submitted to NVC..we actually had a fight because of that cz hes telling me its not needed anymore and that he send it already to the NVC and NVC send it to USEM manila and that they got a copy. ......aarggghhhh...we actually fight over this almost everyday...my husband hates paperworks thats why almost everything regarding my application i prepared myself thanks to Visajourney, i prepared everything for him and the only thing he will do is to sign them...and mailed them...but unfortunately he didnt photocopy everything he send to the NVC..and now when i asked him for a copy hes mad, and he always tell me its not needed anymore and that im being paranoid about the interview ...

sorry guys..i just need to vent..we just had a fight...and it leave me crying until now...im thinking not to go to that interview..i mean if my husband wont give me the support and help i needed to get through this whole process.. why would i still go there..its obvious he doesnt want me there..from start im the one busy with all this paper works he just sits there and wait til he needs to sign something...you can see in my signature we messed up , its because of him not cooperating with the process / doesnt like paperworks....it took 400+ days til interview..

I DONT KNOW..i told him a while ago that if i havent receive a copy of the I864 from him and from his mom (co sponsor) i wont bother showing at the interview ..i cant take it if i fail the interview because of that I864...im tired , exhausted, frustrated with this whole process..cz im doing it all alone....

DOES ANYONE HERE FAILED the interview because she doesnt have a copy of I864?

FYI about 10 years ago...after our wedding he told me he already filed a petition for me....and so i waited, and waited and waited...then guess what only last year he finally told me he doesnt know how to file an immigrant petition...(now we got 2 kids) and so i started the whole process last June 2010...and now i when have an interview appointment hes messing up again....
