Tracking Febuary Filers

[Ralu&Doru 0]

Hey, sorry for the long absence... it's just that I've been so caught up with getting adjusted to life in the US, near my husband and a new family .

Vernon, I think it is obvious they require I-134 for your K-3 and then later when you will ajust status you will have to send I-864. That's what I'm doing now.. AOS with Affidavit of Support I-864.

However we were also worried they might ask for something else at the interview so my husband sent me I-134 and I-864 just to be on the safe side. I needed I-134 (which I gave at the embassy) and I just put the I-864 asside at that time and I sent it in the AOS package on July 15.

That's about it. If you have any more questions I'll try to answer them. How's the baby?

Okay so I'm sick of waiting for people to tell me when to jump and how high to do it. So today I took the process into my own hands and I'm taking a chance to see what I can do.

I was told I had to apply for a police clearance. When I did that I was told it would take 6 weeks. After waiting for 2 weeks and making numerous calls to try and speed it up, I found out that it will be ready on August 9, which is one week earlier than expected. Once I had that and the forms from Cody in my hands I was then able to apply for my interview date. This meant waiting another 3 weeks for my time to go to the embassy. So today when Cody's papers arrived I decided to be daring!

I gathered the forms I needed to submit to apply for my interview date and scanned them in. I then emailed my caseworker, who has been amazingly helpful and understanding and asked to have my interview scheduled around August 14. This is would give me enough time to make sure my police clearance was completed and not make me wait till September to have the interview.

I'm feeling hopeful and confident again which is something I have been lacking the last couple weeks. Keep fingers and toe crossed for me and I'll keep you updated on what’s happening.

Update, Said had his interview today and I think everything went well, not sure till I talk to him on the computer. He said it lasted about 10 mins. and the lady said they would call him (no mention of time frame) and gave him a white paper saying they need additional processing and they didnt need anything else from him. Not quite sure what to think of this yet

Glad to hear things went well! Can't say I have heard anything like that before (about the sheet) but hopefully he hears something soon. I know how much endless waiting can drive a person insane. Good way to look at it is that they didn't ask for more evidence! Good luck and keep us posted.

the paper says "this office regrets to inform you that it is unable to issue a visa becuase you have been found ineligible to recieve a visa under the following section(s) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The information contained in the paragraphs maked with "x" pertain to you visa application. Please disregard the unmarked paragraphs.

Section 212(a)(5) your case requires additional adminstrative processing. We require nothing further from you at this time. We will conact you by telephone as soon as we are able to continue with your case.

Ok to me this dosnt sound all that good. Help Im going crazy.

Are you sure it is Section 212(a)(5)(A), as this relates to an employment based situation? 212 (a)(5)(A) states that an alien seeking entry for the purpose of seeking skilled or unskilled labor is excludable in the absence of an approved labor certification. This ground of exclusion applies to the second and third employment-based preference categories. "Alien labor certification" is a process that, when completed, results in certification by the U.S. Department of Labor that there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available at the place of proposed employment and that such employment will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States similarly employed. INA Section 212(a)(5)

well this website lists all the reasons why they would reject it at this time. so double check with him to make sure that's the right section and maybe even have him email his case worker. i know i have emailed mine a couple times already and they are really helpful!!

well you werent denied honey, your under AP which if you look around the site awhile will find out thats just Additional Processing, which sucks, but you havent been denied yet. but many people in this forum are going through the wait of AP, take a browse around and im sure someone whos going through this can give you the info on this that you need

[b_assif 1]

I emailed CASA yesterday and I heard back from them already. This is what they told me,

Madam -

Your husband’s case requires additional admin processing. This processing is required by law and takes place in Washington. We don’t need anything more from you at this time and we will contact him when we are ready to proceed with his case.

Best Regards,

IV Unit Casablanca
