Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[*SunRay* 1]

Sunny,

It took about 7 days for my case to get to NVC..Then once they got it I was able to get the KNG# for it. It was then sent to Kingston the next day. You can track it by way of DHL once you have the KNG#...This will give you an idea of when it reaches Kingston...

I have my KNG#. I received it in the mail from the NVA around the 8th of June or so. I was just wondering why it takes so long to get to Kinston. They said they mailed it out to the embassy on the 13th.

Hello Yardies..

How ya'll doing?? my name is Shellyann (NO not the one RedRat sing 'bout)..lol!! from St.Thomas JA, residing in Colorado Springs, CO..

I am new to this sight n hope that I can just jumpin'

I have a question that I would like to ask n hopefully someone can shed sum light on it!!

Long story short...I came here in March 2006 on a B2, got married in Dec.2007 n file for AOS in March 2008. I got the letter for an 'initial' interview July 2008 but I'm worried that I will get denied because I'm adjusting from a tourist visa...

Is there anyone here thats adjusting from a B2??....

Do you guys think I'm worrying over nothing??

please any advise/enlightenment will be appreciated!

As long as they cannot find grounds that your INTENT when you entered on the B2 was to get married and remain here, you will be fine!!

Welcome!

Welcome Armywife!!!!! Stick around and you'll become addicted. lol

JaEnglish,

PM me with the name and number of the doctor that you were telling Irie about when you get a chance. You need to enter that baby in the cutest baby contest. He's so friggin adorable. Let me know if you ever need a babysitter.. lol

Evening, all - I left work at noon today, went and got a spa pedicure, then came home and took a nap! I woke up and watched the Bucket List - incredibly sweet movie if you haven't seen it.

Congrats, Auntie Marlita, she's adorable! And I agree JAEng, the pics of your son just get cuter and cuter!

Gill, I agree with you about loving hearing the good stories - I am going to a baby shower next week for a friend who married a JA man on a K1 - they have been married 5 (I think) years, just bought a house, and this is their second child. She is a constant inspiration to me to have faith.

Welcome Army wife - I think you should be fine, as JAEng said - If your overstay was less than one year, then you should be able to adjust no problems - if it was greater than one year, you might have to file a waiver for the overstay - But I know people who have done similar and now have their green cards (not from JA).

Hope everyone has a good weekend - any plans?

Thanks for all the advise....

SUS I did overstay for more than 180 days...do I have to file a waiver if Im married to a USC I read somewhere that the overstay will be 'forgiven'....I'm worried now because I guess it's too late I already got the interview notice

Welcome!

Thanx JaEnglish...I appreciate the advise...even though I entered in 2006 n married a year later would that be consider as 'Intent' n I did met my husband while visiting!...I'm just worried

[sus 70]

My understanding of the waiver is that it will come after the interview - Don't worry about it unless they bring it up. One of my best friends is from Scotland - she overstayed a B visa by 17 YEARS and is a greencard holder, lol - anything's possible.

Thanx JaEnglish...I appreciate the advise...even though I entered in 2006 n married a year later would that be consider as 'Intent' n I did met my husband while visiting!...I'm just worried

Nope - Intent would be when you were in a relationship with your husband, came to the US on a visitor's visa, but used that intending to get married and stay - What you had happen is fate, not intent!

Absolutely NOT.....As others have said, overstays are forgiven on marriage to a USC.

You will be FINE, don't worry girl!

Sunny,

It took about 7 days for my case to get to NVC..Then once they got it I was able to get the KNG# for it. It was then sent to Kingston the next day. You can track it by way of DHL once you have the KNG#...This will give you an idea of when it reaches Kingston...

I have my KNG#. I received it in the mail from the NVA around the 8th of June or so. I was just wondering why it takes so long to get to Kinston. They said they mailed it out to the embassy on the 13th.

I know Sunny it stinks.Ok, now you can send the embassy an email put your KNG# in the subject line along with 'Request appointment to drop-off DS-230'

Hopefully...things should speed up from here on in!

Bless,

Gill
