[nigel 7]

The fiance visa is very quick. We arranged our wedding in 3 weeks, and that included the visa, new child passports, booking planes and the registrar (thats where Scotland came in handy).

On another note, today we finally got confirmation of approval!!

Not by phone, but email.

The Immigrant Visa Unit has now received the approved waiver application from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in London. Please call SMS on 08709 501 760 to arrange delivery of your passport to the Immigrant Visa Unit for visa issuance.

Short but sweet I guess. I'll dig out the hardship stuff now we know it worked.

woohooooooo congrats to ya....its all over ....well done.. .

good luck

My heart goes out to all of you. I have just spent the last hour or so reading through all of your posts ending up in tears.

Although not in the same position I am awaiting a decision on my I 360 VAWA filed last November. due to a abusive marriage If it is approved then I may be able to stay, if not I have no choice to return and be barred for 10 years, leaving someone so dear behind.

The waiting, hoping, anxiety and sleepless nights is unbearable. I can totally empathise with you and your journeys.

I pray that all of you soon receive the good news that you have all so desparately been hoping for. As for Mary and Tom, your story had me in tears. I wish you both peace in your hearts and strength to overcome the hand you have been so cruelly dealt.

Love Shona

Could someone please tell me what CMIT is? Im looking through the boards to see if any k1'ers have been denied at the interview stage in london and I found this link. I understand that the overstay is possibly overstaying in usa while on the vwp but dont know what CMIT is.

Thanking in advace

Hi guys,

I would like your input on just a general concern I have. I was looking on the internet for jobs in the states and saw that on just about every application form it asks "have you ever been arrested etc.". I'm not sure if all jobs in the US have this question as mandatory, I can honestly say that I have only seen it sporadically in the UK.

My question is "will people who have been convicted of CIMT's in the UK, no matter how long ago, have to face descrimination by completing this question and ultimately be unsuccesful in getting these types of jobs?"

Now I know most of you would say, be honest, put the details down, but in reality it would be giving you absolutely no chance in being considered for a job.

I want to make a good life in the states and provide for my lovely wife to be, and hopefully children....

but it concerns me to think that through some actions that occurred many many years ago that were no fault of my own, I will be "branded" with this and will therefore be descriminated by employers in the US.

I'm sure it has concerned all of you guys who have had partners with CIMT's, what are you thoughts?

If faced with answering this question, I'm pretty sure I would not declare it.....

also are there any actions that can be taken in the states for removing such convictions off a record after a long period of time. ie. dui's are only held on your licence for 4 years in the states (I think, allthough I may be wrong!) whereas in the UK it's there for 11 years!!!

any help would be appreciated on this, especially from the USC's out there

Very good question which I asked an Immigration Officer at my Field Office. His answer was "No"

He said "What goes on outside the US we dont care about. You have a clean slate here".

This was proved when I applied for a job. I had to obtain my record from the local Sheriffs Office. It was blank.

[cmltdg 0]

Hey, Paul. We wondered the very same thing. I don't have a good answer, but it's a tricky situation. I tend to think you have a clean slate coming over here, especially with the extensive check the US government has done for you to be able to get here. That's just my two cents, not worth much!

By the way, happy four week point!!

Here is my opinion on this topic. I do work with Human Resources at my current position and if you have a felony on your record you are not allowed to get a job here. There was a recent case where a man applied for a position in our warehouse and he had about 3 misdemeanors for domestic violence and we didn't ask him for a job here. Due to his anger situation. If you have more than one DUI you will not be able to be a sales rep here. You can get jobs with felonies but usually it is manual labor. At my job it is mandatory that you sign a form stating that we will do a background check on you. There is a federal, a state and county. I don't believe that anything that happened outside the US would show up.

Nigel and MistyB are you guys in the states yet? I am moving across the pond in MAY! I think it will be bitter sweet.....

I have about 6 family members coming to England for the wedding!

hello all...

I have also filed my I-601+hsl in London. It's good to know that I am not alone. For all of you that got denied, I'm very sorry to hear that - I'm actually speechles s, I honestly thought that London was a sure thing - just as the same goes for Mexico. And for those who got approved...well, what else can I say other than woo hoo and congrats !!!

I was wondering about the waiting .... time

I filed my waiver March 23 2006, but I did it in Denmark and they told me that they are sending it to London. Do any of you know how long it's going to take before they put it into the system in London??

I really don't see why they have the London tracking website, I see the exact same cases there and there's not much info on the site..... do any of you feel the same?

jpkeswim, I moved over here on March 12th with my 3 kids and my husband left on Feb. 25th to start his job in Florida. So I havent seen my husband in almost 2 months. We are trying to plan some time alone but it is very difficult. He had received all his cards and things by mid March.

What about you Nigel?? Are you here in the US yet?

Congrats to you Wendibob if I havent said it already!

Well we have the medical done now. It was a long day for him but he got back home about 11:15 his time and told me how things went. I sent him to bed since he's going to work tomorrow. That's one more step closer.

Yahoo for you guys! You're moving right along, aren't you? It feels good to be moving forward, doesn't it? Only one more month until the big interview day. Are you guys all prepared? Let us know if you need any questions answered before he goes.

BTW, how was your trip? Did you already say and I missed it? I sure wish I could afford to pop over to see Cas. REAAAAALLLY miss him!

Beetee, how nice to see you over here on VJ! I don't know how your timing will work, but I would assume the same as those who filed in London. It took three weeks from the time we filed all our paperwork for the 601 to the time that the DHS office actually acknowledged receipt of it! Lame, lame, lame!!! They say the 12 weeks doesn't begin until they put it in their system. So if you see your receipt number on their "online tracking system," you can start counting. Good luck to you!

Hi cmltdg,

Yes we are putting right along. He was still tired this morning and he said his feet hurt from all the walking around yesterday trying to kill some time before his appointment. He took some pictures for me and found out where the embassy was so it would be easier for him next month.

I think we are ready for the interview. I think that now but I'm sure I'll be doing the last minute check right before. lol I took the I-601 form and letter over with me and left it with him so I think I'm ok with that also.

The trip was great. Didn't have enough time to get everything done that we wanted but we gave it our best shot. lol We got up every morning ate breakfast then was gone until dark everyday I was there. My favorite part was driving up the coast and we visited the areas where his mom and dad were raised. I got a picture of the church his mom and dad were married and I'm going to get it enlarged and framed. I'm going to do that with several of the pictures I took so he will have something to make him feel more at home when he gets here. I have one whole wall in my dining room I can cover with pictures.

The plane ride home wasn't the best but other than that everything went really well.

How are things going on your end. Doesn't seem to be much chit chat going on in here lately. lol

Thanks for asking,

Baileyj
