The Clown

Good Morning Everyone... After 5 years of a " stable " relationship, long 7 months with nights without sleep and thousands of dollars spend in lawyer, USCIS fees and trips there, unfortunally I have noticed after my fiancee got his visa things has changed and two months after he got it he is not doing the effort to be here with me, instead he only respond he has six months to enter USA, and his atitude towards me and the relationship has changed, I have been aware by his sister of infidelity while me suffering here for him. At this point I do not want to marry him anymore and I would like to do a visa withdrawal. Does anybody knows what should i say and where should I send it ? I am devastated I never thought I will be going through this situation !!! Thanks

Though rarely, sometimes I-129 F petitions stay longer at the NVC because additional background checks need to be performed. For most, NVC is just a quick pit stop (1 to 2 weeks) before the petition packet is forwarded to the appropriate consulate. It could take a few days, a few weeks, a few months...

Hopefully, your case will be out of AP soon!

Thanks so much ! Only God knows why does this things to me !

Hello all VJ'S friends !! After 6 months and 3 days last Jan26th my 129F was finally aproved. I just called NVC it was received yesterday I also have my case number but my case id for aditional Processing !!!

can someone please tell me what they mean by that ???? will I now be stuck in NVC also for more than normal processing times ??? Please help me and provide me with some advice ? Thanks all for your usual support.

Thank you all !! Now trying to figure out what's next !

After tough 6 months and three days my 129F finally got aproved ! I honestly does not know what finally worked but contacting DHS officers by mail certanly helps! I filed for my service request on 01/13/2010 and received an e-mail on 01/20/2010 stating needed to wait for 60 days before got a response ! i thought this was TOO MUCH I called this morning back to USCIS and got a push on my Service request. NO LIE !!! 1 hour later i received an email stating my Service Request wa saproved and about three hours later my text message about my status changed !! All I wish all of you VJ friends is to keep calling and do not give up !!

I dreamed of this day. The day that I, too, could share with my fellow VJ members that my I-129 F petition has been approved. I have been feeling down these last few days and I have been checking my USCIS account often. I checked it yesterday and there was nothing new; the same tired last update date of 09/01/2010.

Today, after reading the VJ forums for a while, almost without hope, I ventured to log in to my account at the USCIS website and what do I see? A last update date of 01/24/2011! I did a double take, really? I opened my tired eyes wider. Clicked on the receipt number as I dialed the USCIS customer service line (was it approved or will I get a RFE?). But my case status is clear:

"On January 24, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."

The automated USCIS voice was reading outloud what I was reading on the website.

After 150 days my petition has been approved. Today, I also received the news that my vacation has been approved and I will be able to go see my love for Spring break. I will go to the DR this March before going back, once again, for the interview.

Best wishes to all and may you, too, receive approvals soon

Waooooooo Friend Congrats !!! Happy for you ! I see your case is moving faster becouse is not at the lazy VSC.. My NOA1 is July/23 and here still I am waitting ! Anyways Gozate mi Dominicana La bella ! I am going for carnaval Feb25Th...

After 6 months and 10 days we have finally received it.. Oh happy DAAAAAAAYZ!!!!! GET IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats !!!

I was finally approved today and updated my profile within the hour. That's one on the 14th but I agree with others that VJ may not be a very big sample. The agency really needs improved management and communication with applicants.

Congrats VJ friend !!!

Thanks Yu, Good luck to you on yr journey !

I have beentrying to research about the Service Request form I have filed today at USCIS. My NOA1 was July-23

and today I got through the Service Request. Have anyone filled this yet ??? What's the advantage of it???

does it work or it just another file on someone's desk ? Thanks VJ friends !

Since I am 5months and few days over I called and they told me the same about the July 10th lecture.

friend keep calling them !!!! I called today and could got a Service Request put through

I was 5 months on Dec23rd..

USCIS can go suck an egg. They increase fees and in return, to those desperately waiting to be together with their loved ones, do nothing to get the job done. Website not updated since October, for processing times and are still reporting that they are processing Aug 3rd, 2010 I-129F. I am tempted to grab my father, lawyer, and my Uncle, ex special agent of the DHS now FBI Agent, and pay them a visit. Might just do it when the 5 month mark hits for me. Down right retarded how lazy people are these days, work ethic and the genuine care for others is non-existant these days. Sorry just had to vent a bit, good luck to you.

I hope your journey goes faster than mine ! I filed July-23 and i am still waitting for my NOA2, VSC is a hudge joke !

And how sincere did he sound about that ? =/

Very sincere friend. Just waitting still !! I was last touched Oct/06th

Thank you )

Yes,3th Oct was the last touch

You're Noa2 it's coming for sure )

Good news !!! I was touched Oct/06th my hopes are high...

Good idea...or check your online phone record to see who he last contacted, that may give you a clue.

Depending also who is your cell phone provider I know AT&T has what is called Smart Limits. It cost 4.99 a month and it shows you ( if the phone is on of course ) will show you the adress where he is !!!

Congrats Dawn & Steve. Best wishes for the interview. I saw 4 couples got approved on January 3. By the way did you get touch on October 3, 2010? I am keeping tab on this one.

I was touched Oct-06.. 5 months were over on Dec23rd.

got the same email too and it pissed me off thinking that u cant call them till another 60 F-king days??? they are getting more & more ridiculous!!!

I feel your frustration ! At least you was lucky enough to have the order request gone through. My 5 months was Dec23rd. And still yesteray I could not put the service request through becouse the system responded .. I NEED TO WAIT 13 MORE DAYS !!! This VSC need to get their Stuff together for not saying something else...

As fast as they process bank withdraws for the fee we paid???

Oh goodness, that would so so owesome!

then maybe instead of us ranting here we could have all been having the most of the holidays dancing n extreme happiness. but..we can only wishand wish that somehow after the holidays they will eventually give us some reasonable answers and ofcourse satisfying results

Good Luck to all of US, and lets all call them back this monday

Just got off the phone with USCIS. Asked to speak with a higher lever Cust service Rep. then I got Immigration officer Mr. Green who advise that i should allow 6 months instead of five and that

for sure by Jan23rd I should have a response.

My NOA1 5 months period was Dec 23 and to be homest I feel hopeless ! reading all your stories just got me more to the floor ! I very much wish VSC process visas as fas they process the bank withdraws for the $455.00 fee. I have called three times and it is true everytime is a different answer. NVC is processing July10th filers. Or Please allow us 13 days before we give an answer, or you are still w/in the VSC processing time if you visit our website you will see the dates for 129f have been change and this last one is not true becouse still shows 5 months !. I have written to the Senator, Saw the congressman and NO ACTIONS TAKEN YET !!

There are still quite a few July filers that don't have an NOA2 yet, some of them earlier than me (my NOA1 is July 17). Check the July 2010 VSC forum (below), and you'll see a lot of others like yourself. I'm waiting to hear back from the VSC on January 6. USCIS put in a request for the status, and I was told that an officer is looking at it now and should have some info next week.

It looks like VSC is working around your date becouse I called this morning ( my 5 month was Dec-23) and I was told to call back in 13 days so I am hoping in about 7 more days I will be able to have my service request processed. it is very frustrating this long wait to be with our love ones !

Hey guys,

I can't believe the day has finally come. After months and months of waiting, my fiance will have her K1 visa interview tomorrow. I can't sleep. I took the day off from work on Monday no matter the interview result. We did a lot of preparation and we both feel good. If you could, please say a few prayers for us as tomorrow will be a pretty big day for us. I will post the results as soon as my fiance calls me. Thanks everyone!

Carl

Just remember.... If God is with you, who's against you ????? Everything will be allright... My prayers with you guys !

Hi Everyone,

Keep fait guys who still waiting their NOA2 it will be soon.

Congrats ! You are my hope now !!! my NOA1 was July/23..

Just a recommendation, it might be worth sending him a Magic Jack. I have friends with family in DR, they use it with great success.

I haven't used it personally but I can sympathize with the phone bill.

Thank you so much for your advise

My fiancee does not own a computer & he is not a computer person. He leaves in the countryside very humble family

I know it sounds odd but I will teach him once he gets here.

This is probably one of the best replies I've ever seen to this type of thread.

Waooooo it eaven helped me !!! eaven thought my fiancee does not have computer or home phone I have been spending over 50 dollars a week just on calling cards to be close to him. these are rought times it will be over soon !

I have officially lost all faith - 5 month mark today and no NOA2. I can see a few more people are still waiting. We called and they toldus to call back after christmas as they didnt know when they would approve it.

Is anyone else feeling this utter feeling of uselessness and anger?? 5 shitty months to look at a petition and they cant even do that.....

Do not loose faith ! i feel your pain, and your frustration, I will be my 5 months on the 23rd. Wake up everyday hoping the have not activated my uscis account and received my NOA2 on the mail. This is emotionally affecting me, it is painful. God bless us all patient souls...

Here is my point. The fact that she before was given 6 months to stay in USA it is a normal procedure from immigrations. Now, a VISITOR visa is self explained, how will a visitor stay for 4 months ???? go back and then come back in three months for another 4 months ??? if you calculate that she spent more time in USA than Brazil. The best thing to do is do things right. Go back to brazil and get married there, come back and file for her petition. We all want to be with our love ones, do not risk the opportunity to have her here a syour wife for ever and do things right.
