The Heub's

HI there people, let me explain the situation..I have a friend who is a US citizen, He has met a russian woman here in the states and she is currently on a K1 fiancee visa for a millionaire in Hawaii. She has said he was a drunk and did not want to marry him as she has finally met him. So she left that guy and has now moved in with my friend..and is talking about getting a visa to stay with him! My questions are is that possible? or does it have to be re-done as a new visa for them? I find it very weird they met once and she has moved in and i could see possible red flags for the immigration. Could anyone shed some light?

Thanks

Congratulations!!! and Happy Birthday !!!

LOL i took folders of evidence....just in case.. and was NOT asked for any proof!!

Hi There,

I have a question, when having the medical what exactly are you being tested for? I have heard comflicting information. Is it for syphilis and hep B?

Hi There, Juts a few niggling questions in the back off my head...Do i need to provide a copy of the Co-Sponsors passport when i finally get to the interview?... (31st May soooo excited!!) aaaaaand i had my police check done on the 9th Dec 2010, i am hoping it will stil be valid? Also i noticed on my police certificate it has my old passport number on it! i have since changed my passport to my married name and the numbers are not the same, would this be a problem? its the new digitial passport so im hoping they can just check it without any hassle! Panicking a lil as everything has to go right i cannot do another 7 months!!

Hi There, Just a few questions if anyone can help...Im due to go for my interview and from reading on this website some people have been asked for a copy of the co-sponsors Birth certificate or passport? Is this true?! and also to take another 2 passport style photos...someone actually said these cost £36?! I paid £5 for my other photos..im a little lost at that price ! Just wanted to check and double check i have all the correct info !! If anyone can help please advise! Thanks!!

Hey can you adddddddddddddddd me please May 31st!!! Good Luck to everyone who has upcoming interviews!!! AT LAST!!

Id imagine now is the time! The interview wont be scheduled until they get the medical results!

Call the Knightsbridge Doctors (020 7589 8965) and ask!

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

Hey just to let you know, I had my interview booked before having the medical ....i plan to have it a few weeks before im due to attend.

CONGRATS!!!!

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has a interview coming or has already had one? We are at the NVC stage and had a RFE (for pay stubs from the hubbie) these have been sent, but when we call the NVC they are yet to off put them into their system!! Its driving us crazy!! Does anyone know if this would mean mayba May Interview at the London Consulate or are we more then likely going to have to wait even longer!!AAhhh these Visa stuff can make you go crazy

Certified copies are copies or extracts that can only be issued and certified by the issuing authority.

For example, a certified true copy of your birth certificate would only be available from the registry of births and deaths (that's what they call it here, may be different in your country).

Similarly, a certified copy of your marriage certificate would come from the registry of marriages.

As Amy and Nick said, a certified copy is NOT a photocopy or a notarized photocopy.

AAAAHHH haha thanks guys im already on it!!

Hey thanks for the replies but its still confusing it asks for originals or certified copies i.e- a photocopy, I know you would need to provide originals at the interview...just dont want anything or anyone holding us up at the interiew stage...

Hi There, We are currently on the NVC stage, we are using a immigration lawyer and they are asking me to send my original birth certificate, Marriage certificate and passport? Is this correct? I have read that it is ok to send in copies and then provide the originals at the time off the interview....I hate to say but i have lost a lil faith in our immigration lawyer and am also nervous off not recieving my documents back before the interview!

If anyone has been going through this or has completed this part of the journey please help!

no we are not going way off topic ..its there to post when and where you filed but we do allow you to post anything you want and we are using the thread to support each other during the waiting process..but that is where oct/nov filers post if and when they get a noa2

Well said!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

congrats by the way! like the rest of us here (except for the bitter one) are very happy for you :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thanks Guys it means alot...I too have been on this forum..not knowing what too do (until the good hearted people here point you in the right direction!), waiting for what seems like forever (it does drive you insane!!) and i personally think that any good news shared on this forum will definately benefit people. Whether you've just started your journey or are in the middle good luck! this is one off the hardest things Ive ever done, and I cant wait for everyone to eventually be with the people they love and miss.

Happy for you,good luck with the rest,i'm waiting so impatiently for my NO2

You will get there! I was giving up hope... and wham it arrived!!! Good Luck XX

I agree, not really fair but the latest records of aprovals show that's not really a fast lane towards the NVC for them!:)Not even one got NVC# yet! Hopefully they will realize that before senting sep.oct. fillers off to the NVC they will first get done w/jun.july.aug. However this case with "post decision activity" does not mean aproved, Trust me! Me and a few others (july/aug) have the same and STILL waiting , this case has to take a no.

The best thing you should do is call them every other day but don't stop @ the first pers. ask to talk to a supervisor(officer)!! get an info pass online(you do quilify since you are over the 5 months)write to your congressman/woman, senator.

read carefully! "post decision activity" does NOT really mean "aproved" isn't it?!It's either one or the other The notice (NOA2) must simply say: your petiton # is "aproved" than you wait to be fwd. to the NVC! Hopefully after the July/Aug fillers good luck!

Hi There!! No It def said APPROVED I recieved a e-mail stating this GOOD LUCK on ur journey though hun !!

Hi There!! We got APPROVED yesterday !!! does anyone know what will happen now? we are in post descision activity and filed on the 18th Oct thanks!!! Good luck to everyone!!

I had to get one from UK and, although the certificate does not bare an expiration date, they do consider de 12 month window. You will be fine, don't worry.

Thanks!!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here know's how long a UK police check is valid for? I applied for mine in December, and now I worry it maybe out of date by the time off my interview!! Thanks

Hey,

My I130 application was recieved on the 18th October and was last touched on the 26th October...I hvae heard nothing since then, and since its been over a month is this normal? I thought they would send a letter for interview in 30 days ?

Just wondered if anyone is in the same position?

Hi there ,

We filed on October 26th and our file hasn't been touched since then. My husband has recieved the reciept and case number but I have recieved nothing in the UK? Anyone else have this problem? I really want to book my medical ASAP!

Hey Guys,

We filed October 20th!! Its nice to see people are on the same sort off timeline!! I am just starting to get the information together for my police checks etc..

I hope this is quick and painless for us all!

Hello, I have been back in the UK for a month now...My husband has applied for the I130 since i have been back. My question/problem is that since i have been back i have had huge problems trying to get employment. If things dont change soon i may have to go on some sort off welfare?! I really don't want to though!!! Does anyone know if this is going to harm my application? or has anyone been in the same situation? Thanks

The wait does seem to be a little long right now. I went through this a year ago and was lucky to have a very short wait. It is always possible that they will suddenly put lots of staff onto the task of clearing I-130 petitions, in which case the wait may be shorter again. You can but hope! But be prepared for a long wait.

You do have to go to London for the medical, http://www.visamedicals.info/us.asp You can't do this until you have your case number, which you will get once your petition is approved. As soon as you get this you can book an appointment. Right now you just want to check you have all your vaccinations, and visit your local GP if you need your tetanus updated or haven't had the MMR. You also need to find a co-sponsor if your husband doesn't earn enough to sponsor you. Other than that, just try to relax and make the most of your last months in the UK! Eat some pasties!

Thanks sooo much !! Well our journey has begun..im sure i will be on here with other questions and queries..!
