[Gemmie 142]

Not anymore, she got the NOA2 and is (last I heard) waiting on Packet 3.

Is that right, Sara?

I was asking in general, you have to try to move to your s/o's country before you can file for WOM?

I know I've seen a thread dedicated to her on vj, cause if I'm not mistaking she's waited ages for the NOA2

Can I join the club too? We are 1 week from hitting our 6 month mark. Did you see on Igor's that there's people from JUNE 20?!?!?! Seriously?!? I'm seriously considering moving to be with my fiance at the end of the year... any thoughts? Am I crazy?

Fingers are crossed that we all hear something soon. Boa sorte!!

Well, I for one want to join the 6mths+++++ club. We filed in Dec of 2008 and here it is almost a freaking year later and NOTHING except a NOA 1 in Jan, and a RFE in May. Yup we have thought about just withdrawling our I-129F and just going for an I-130 if we don't hear anything by March of next year. What's everyones opinion? What should we freaking do??

Sue USCIS, people on VJ have done it. It's called Writ of Mandamus, USCIS needs to realize that they put people family and lives on hold through this long process. Personally, I think anyone who should have to wait 6+ months needs to sue. What would happen if I paid my taxes when I felt like it, and stated, I'm still working on putting my paperwork together and gathering my income information and non-taxable expenses bla bla bla and you'll just have to wait to receive my tax payment...

im sorry i know ur post is serious but i was laughing cuz i remember when we first got back to the states thats sort of what mom told the irs.........wrong answer got audited lol

if ur going to file writ of mandamus u have to try everything available to u to try and resolve it first so that they dont come back at u with oh u didnt try this or that .....most of it is a waste of time but has to be done first.......i know that for me and perviz we were like a few months short of moving to india.....already had the plans and we were looking for cheap tickets after the first of the year.....with their ability to use computers seems pretty stupid that it takes more than 6 months to get anything done........

Kaus&Sanu,

To be honest taking USCIS to court is like getting your hopes up and yet still having to walk off the cliff.

We did it and we won, They had to have a response to us by the 21st of August 2009, if you look at our timeline you will notice that they never bothered to reply. So it went back to court at the start of September, and that frankly was the last we ever heard of it.

There is nothing you can do, WoM apparently does not apply to them, they lost our case twice, went to court twice and were in contempt of court, and yet we still got nothing, other then a lawyer who stopped speaking to us and being several thousand out of pocket. We ended up having to physically go there to withdraw our K1 as our lawyer wouldn't talk to us (in fact we withdrew it over a week ago and he still hasn't contacted us).

Like Sara (Estadia) we have made plans to move to the Beneficiary's (me) country at the start of next year, and we got married over the weekend to enable that to happen. No we haven't given up on the US, we are filing to both countries, but we certainly aren't getting our hopes up about it, frankly we don't care were we live, we just want it to be together. It has been a long 14 months in this process, and if we are lucky we have only 6 more left before we can be together. But definitely not holding our breaths.

Long story short, take the 10K that having a lawyer to sue USICS would cost you and have a holiday together somewhere nice, suing them just really isn't worth the cash.

Hi Mara,

Well, first & foremost, Congratulations on your marriage!

I'm not planning on suing, atleast... I'm wayyyy to early into the process as I've only filed for my wifey on 6/29 and 7/8... I'm hoping they send NOA2 and don't have to get to that. I probably dont belong in this thread cause i'm not even near the 6 mos. mark. But, I just stumbled across it, and thought hey stop by and say hello, and then got to reading some of the posts...

so anyway good luck, and congrats on the marriage, and i feel for you two and having to go through all of this to be with your loved one...

so it's been 8 months now. had an noa2 which was taken away then 2 months later and rfe. Now we are still waiting. And i honestly dont know what to do or think. I packed up and moved to be closer to my US fiancee as that seems to have been one of the few things i have control over, and we thought it might help.

Lawerys are not doing anything, Congress has done nothing new for us, and emailing uscis / calling them is useless as boobs on a bull. NVC returned our file back in august, it's now November. And i'm starting to lose hope and faith that we will ever get another approval.

How do you all do it? Half the time i don't know whether to cry or yell and scream anymore
