August/September 2007 K-1 Filers

[*julez* 124]

We're everywhere! Is a polyester jumpsuit appropriate attire for this thread?

[Jeraly 4]

Hmmm maybe.. what about glowsticks?

[mox 298]

cool new thread!! :D

and I play the accordion* B)

I read this, and I thought "there she is...my dream girl...we passed like ships in the night, me with my love of accordion music* and the entire "secret diaries" series, her with her accordion talent and the same love for all things "secret diaries," and knowing we could never be together. And had I been Elton John, and StP a hawt Russian border guard circa 1980, it would probably go something like this (with possibly more monobrow):

And then I read this...

* may not be strictly true

And breathed a sigh of relief. Carry on.

* Also may not be strictly true.

I love the way us July-ers have taken over the disco room

Like throwing a hot dog to a pack of slavering chihuahuas...

I'm intrigued as to why Elton is pretending to be straight as well as a perv/peeping tom in the vid

I don't believe he's pretending to be a perv/peeping tom. I believe that part's whatchacall autobiographical.

Hmmmm...sooo...any August/September filers out there who have actually received visas and together with their SO's here in the US?

what does additional review mean?

[mox 298]

what does additional review mean?

In what context, estadia?

[sara..... 371]

your case is at this time in additional review .......it will not take that long to come to a decision once its made we will mail ur our decision........is this a denial?

Let's get this out of the way right now: This is not a denial.

It may not mean anything, or it could mean something. You're just going to have to wait and see. There are a certain number of petitions that are sent through an additional security process. These petitions are chosen at random. It's very possible that yours was randomly hit. On the other hand, it could be that your petition was flagged in name check, possibly because the beneficiary's name is similar to someone in their crime database, etc.

You might want to give USCIS a call and see if you can get any more information out of them. It's about 99% likely they won't tell you anything else, and to just wait. But who knows, they might tell you a little more. It's not the best news you could have gotten, but it is not a denial, and that's at least a good thing. Hang in there!

Ok so i called and talked to a very nice lady.......she said yes ur case is in additional review I said does that mean its still in extensive back ground investigation? she said she did not think so that it might only mean that a supervisor is reviewing it. I told her i was sorry for calling and taking her time she said no problem and not to worry it wont take long now for a decision

[mox 298]

Cool. I know it can be unsettling, but try not to worry. Let the review run its course. It most likely won't take very long.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

wow, that Nikita video is - something else

I've never seen it before; it plumbs new depths of badness, and belongs MOST squarely in the Corner of Wrong

estadia - I am glad you got someone nice on the phone! Fingers crossed it won't be long before you hear some good news

HELP!!!!! My fiancee went to the German Embassy to pick up her police clearance and found that they had spelled her name wrong!!!!!!!!! So she had to have the embassy send her police clearance back to get it fixed!!!! The lady at the embassy said that it should not take more then a month!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know if and how this will effect the process? How long does it take from when she finally has all the paper work, including the police certificate, and lets the embassy know til she gets her interview date? I guess we shouldnt be too concerned since this is the first snag we have hit in this process, but it is still frustrating

This might be a better question to ask in the Consulate forum, or the Europe forum, or you can look at timelines for people going through your country and compare the dates. If she doesn't have the police clearances by the time of the interview, she just needs to submit them after the interview. It'll be no big deal, she can even mail them.
