March 2010 CR1 filers

I think if you don't submit the PCC that you will get a RFE at NVC. It seems like it would just be easier to wiat for the ok to get the PCC. I know other VJers from India could help you out better than I can.

I met my husband online . We met each other on a site called Spanglish chat. I think he started talking to me and then the rest is history. That was back in 2005 when I was 17. I told him I'd meet him in person in 2010 (I was 17 and didn't think he was for real...not many internet boyfriends when you are in your teens pan out). I went and met him in 2007 though. We now have an almost 14 month old daughter. I guess he was for real after all. .

Oh...I forgot to put that the barcoded sheets for your IV and AOS bills being paid needs to be included with the respective packet(s).

[March2010 2]

I noticed that the link to the old bar code has changed. Has anyone tried the new one yet?

Im a little worried about the PCC. Guess the local station and passport office in India wont give my wife her PCC until she shows them the letter that comes with her DS-230.

She recently just had her passport updated and from what i hear they do a police check before issuing new passports. Will NVC accept just that for now and then maybe show the PCC at the interview?

Its the ONLY missing piece i have currently. grr

I think you can get the local police station to give you a certificate but not the passport office. They wont give it to you until they see checklist. I just found that out like 20 mins ago.

Darnell thanks for your vote. I think however it may be more than most are willing to do so... Okay I will be away for about a week. Have some camping and stuff to do to keep my mind away from the Visa Madness. If my original Idea was to confusing or not so exciting then I have another.

First we need a list of player so we can keep track. Who can put this together? Once we have the list established then each of us would send out a statement on the NVC process. Start from the beginning of the process. Once a step is agreed to have been covered go to the next Step. The statement should be about something you noticed and almost missed. Then the other can check their packages. Give some time between questions say 1-2 hours. Then the next person post there observation. The questions and thinking need to flow so stay on topic. If someone feels the subject has been beaten to death then call for a vote and if 3 agree, move on to the next step.

Remember if you do this we can not be shy or feel stupid for stating simple observation. All Observation are equal because they will result if RFEs is the information is wrong. If someone can't be a participate because of schedule or access to Internet, that's fine. They can be removed from the list of player but they can still read the post and benefit from this effort when they have access or Join in when the scheduling conflict is passed.

Hey folks I know its not the dating game but for the price of admission (free) what do you want, your money back... lol

I will, as I said earlier, be away for a while but I can pop in from time to time as Internet access becomes available and between activities. I cant do the Player List but I will start off with the first dumb statement/observation or Heads Up what ever we decide to call it.

Here goes You receive Approval Notice from USCIS After all the Yelling and Jumping stops, Scan the document or make a few copies or forward the email to your Significant Other. Where ever he or she may be.

Then take a deep breath "Its Game On" ... This is the time to clear your head and double and triple check your package for completeness. Do this in order of need ( ie DS3032 then I 864, then DS230. Those things that are still not in your possession need to be put on a TO List. Dont do this all at one time give yourself break periods. When your mind gets jammed up take a break then get back at it ...

Well this is more a strategy but that's what each of us need. There is an old saying that goes like this. "Plan your work! Then work your Plan!" You can not be to organized!!!

Good luck and good bye for a little while regardless of what you decide to do. I will not feel bad if you do something completely different then I will be blameless haha

Hello...

Have any of the March filers or March NOA1 people got their NOA 2 yet ??

i have my NOA 1 Date of 25th March. I think i m to optimistic to expect NOA 2 by the end of this month ...?

[johndoe12 2]

dont expect anything for another month or so. They haven't really approved anything for the past few weeks. Going really slow.

[March2010 2]

Nothing here. My NOA1 is March 2nd.

[ak205 1]

Damn that is terrible..

Most of jan and feb filers got their NOA2 in less than 2 months..may be they were the lucky ones

[johndoe12 2]

yes they didnt have to any other applications to look at then i guess. Now they have H1 visas and the Haitian visas they are looking at. So they seem to be getting that completed. Our turn will come eventually. My NOA1 date is April 2nd, so i dont expect to see anything till middle of July at the earliest.

also they changed the processing time from 5 months to 6 months now.

[BigSigh 12]

OK Tom. John and I had done some of what you had suggested before. In order to make a player's list, we need a list of people willing to participate. I will volunteer myself to make the list but I need to know ho is willing to play. So....

WHO WANTS TO PLAY THE "HEADS UP, RFE'S DOWN!" GAME?

If you wish to participate, please let me know on here or PM and I will make a list. Tom has made the 1st step. If no one wishes to play however, please let us all know so that we aren't waiting for 15 days to figure it out .

I look forward to responses.

So far Tom, your first step looks great.

[BigSigh 12]

So far for the game, the list is:

Tom

Teya

John

C'mon Marchers.....

[BigSigh 12]
