I've seen one or two people on here say the same thing. What was information was requested in the RFE?

Congrats on the approval!

Hey all, just a question. I noticed on Igor's List that a couple of people were approved yesterday. One, yesterday was a holiday. Two, yesterday was a Sunday. I thought VSC was closed on the weekends? And on holidays? Am I wrong?

Happy Monday, all!

Congratulations!! You must feel so awesome!

That is so true. When I got back home from my summer visit with her (also known as the happiest time of my life), I was asked the same question by almost everybody. "Why didn't you just bring her back with you?" Nobody really understand what this is like except the people on this board.

Yes, I completely understand that. "Why doesn't he just come here?" and "When is he coming back?" are some of the most stressful questions.

I think that everyone is stressed and understandably so. It isn't easy. No one wants their lives to be totally out of their hands, and that's basically what this is. We take our wishes, our hopes and dreams, and write it all down on paper. Then we turn it over to USCIS and ask if we can have those hopes and dreams come true. Then we wait. And we wait and we wait until someone that we've never met tells us whether or not we can have the lives we have chosen. Yes, we did know what we were getting ourselves into, but that doesn't make it easy. I think even the creator of this thread is feeling the stress of waiting, even if he denies it. If not, why would the complaints of others be so annoying? Because it serves as a reminder of his own waiting time.

My petition is only a couple of months old but I still feel the stress of being away from the one I love. I can't go visit him because I can't take time off of work right now, and he can't come here. So I don't know when I'll get to see him again. When you love someone, when all you want is to see him smile and to see him happy, then even one day is too long to be apart.

Have some patience for the people who need to vent. Most of the people on here don't have anyone in their lives who have ever been through this before. So none of their family and friends REALLY understand how they feel. But we do. So they come here to be heard, and we're here to listen.

I don't know for sure but I think that would be a very big factor. Reason being, he has to prove that he can financially support you since you won't be employed upon entry. I do think that might hurt you, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope it doesn't. Best of luck!

I would think that black and white copies would be fine as long as they are legible.

Ugh, how frustrating!

Any update? Has the letter arrived?

I completely understand your concern, and yes, I would be concerned too. If I were in this situation, I would sit her down and explain to her that for whatever reason, she is hiding something, and it is important that I understand why. The fact that she is hiding something is not in dispute, but the reason certainly is. Either she is hiding you from her parents or vice versa. Or, she is not speaking to her parents at all and is hiding something much worse. The bottom line is that you won't know until she is upfront with you. I know you say that all you can do is believe her because you don't have proof, but you know something is up. That's why you're posting here. You are being kept in the dark about something. There is rarely a good reason for being left in the dark.

As far as the frequency of her contact, I wouldn't find that to be suspicious. I also contact my mother every single day. The difference is that my fiance and she have met on several occasions, and even email and text one another at times. I don't know what's going on, but I really hope that you find out soon, and I hope it's not anything that will cause an end to your relationship.

I really wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted.

Good luck on the visa. Did he at least get another interview date?

Congrats! It seems like you were approved pretty quickly after emailing your senator!
