We seemed to have been abandonded

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

Hello Dec filers: I used to get an email message from this forum every time someone did a reply etc, but this has not been the case for the last month or so. Is there any thing I have to click to keep receiving the messages?

are you subscribed to this forum? I am still getting it e-mailed to my e-mail. Maybe there is a setting turned off in the options tab...

Good Luck...

Did you call? What did they tell you when you called? Its ridiculous you have to wait so long just for one of the first steps.

Maybe you should contact your local newspaper or news channel. :-) Put the USCIS in the spot light.

Hi jawswinger,

They used her maiden name but they issues the VISA with her married name.

Oh BTW, We got our VISA!!! :D

I will post a description of the interview soon. It was a lot of waiting but we were only called up three times and the only questions they asked us were confirming our US address (to send the green card to), asking when my wife planned to make the move (to make sure it was within the VISAs validity period), and they asked me if I knew that I didn't have to be there (to which I stated yes, but I wanted to be there with my wife). The lady said our case was cleared in her system and she sent it to the printer. We got it in the mail two days later with the packet for the US immigration officer. :)

Well, I guess thats pretty much the description. LOL :)

Oh, and I will update the timeline in a few minutes prashp1! :)
