Why can't the USCIS be more honest ?

[panamania79 2]

I wouldn't be as aggravated if they had just told me the truth from the get-go.Now I am angry,my fiance thinks I'm going to dump him.All of this could have been avoided if they had just said it was going to take a year in the first place.And I am so sick and tired of hearing their list of old excuses.

why does he think you are going to dump him?

And never believe the government. Your head will spin like the exorcist if you do.

lol

He thinks you are going to dump him? What?

Who told you 3 months? It's pretty clear by the time lines depicted on their website that it takes longer than that.

Hang in there....you'll get approved soon

I guess he thinks I'm playing with him,since the USCIS is playing with me.He actually feels like theis country doesn't want him.lol

The Providence field office and the office that helped me with the papers told me this on January 2007.I was going to originally go to Panama and marry Manuel there but they suggested I go the I-129f route instead because it was quicker.Yeah right.lol

As for me dumping him,he's just being a baby,I'm not going to.

I can feel my head starting to spin like Linda Blair.LOL !

I was told about the 3 months way before I found this wonderful site and the July fee increases.

new stuff for me.. updated on my signature... so the only thing to do is bug them everyday... and also fax lots and lots of people.. here's a list to get you started.. I faxed House Speaker Pelosi, my two Senators, Congressmen (and women) not just mine, president, vice president, white house, us attorneys, attorney generals, CIS Obudsman, also the presidential candidates (Obama, Hilary, McCain, Huckabee, Romney)... anyone and everyone will know about my case.. and the stupid way that the USCIS is doing to my case...

I suspect if you check the K1 timelines for those who filed in January 2007, the vast majority had their petitions approved by USCIS within three months. By the time you filed in May, the timelines had changed significantly. Unfortunately USCIS tends to ignore the rest of the process after petition approval, leaving many to think they've been given a timeline for the entire visa process instead of just the first segment.

you need to devise the plan to survive the wait, that is considerable. if you follow the guidelines on the uscis's website, they are fairly accurate...

seems that the wait is lessening now, but for us who filed in march/april/may and expected our loved ones to be with us by the end of the year, this turned into a very, very long unpredictable journey....some countries are running extensive background checks, so couples that were seeking visas there wait (ed) for even two years to reunite...

so... patience!

it will work out in the end, do not let the separation anxiety rule over your relationship. plan to visit your fiance regularly and to keep the contact daily. remember, you are BOTH in this process, not only you. it is not fair to think that you are having a better time separated, because it is simply not true. suffering is very hard and mutual, and is a par of this deal

hope this helped.

So that's what they do.....hmmmm.In that case no wonder I've been waiting so long.Thanks

glad to be of help... i was talking to my husband today, we are both in shock...because, guess what? now the big problem (uncertainty) is out of the way...and we are confused, happy, crazy, scared...we have pretty much nothing to worry about now...

so expect lots of different feelings, moods, ideas to emerge along the way.

and, to make you feel even better, once you are done with uscis, things will really look up! uscis is like some filter that sorts cases at the bottom level ( i can see weak couples dropping out off the process), they provide horrible information and horrible customer service. But!!! - once you move to nvc and consulates ...ahhhhhhh heaven! you will be so much more at peace

ok. 'nuf sentimental stuff... good luck to you! keep the faith at the right place!
