July '08 filers

I don't know about hotties, but I definitely like the pics we sent. Have a good night everyone. Fingers crossed for an approval here.

Oh come on now we saw the naked pics of you!!! WAIT or was that aubrey or pb...JEEZ PEOPLE wait..it was MINE...okayyyyyyy who did it...you should have got my RIGHT side not the left people!!!

ha ha..yep..I HAVE TOTALLY LOST IT!

I know I hate that feeling, it's like... it's like the feeling you have when an otter steals ya shoes

Well i dont think it is going faster at all....infact i am so sick of immigration...we were approved like 6 weeks ago and my fiance still did not get his packet 3 yet...it is not moving faster...he should have an an interview date by now and physical date....this is bullcrap and it is depressing...i just want him back home and for this to be over with...

I know it might sound silly and I dont mean it too but have you spoken to anyone at NVC/the embassy?

okay so here is the deal...monday Johny called the embassy in haiti...and of course they wouldnt tell him #### without the pin number...so i called NVC who said that they sent the package to haiti on NOV 12!!!!!!!! So We purchased the stupid pin #. Johny and I both called them today and collectively got from them that they sent packet 3 out on Nov 25th however he has not recieved it. So NOW they said that we have to give the post office at least a month to find his house and deliever it and if they dont deliever it before or on 25th, he will be given permission to go pick it up himself at the embassy but he is not allowed to do it before the month is up!

IM so sick of this i cant stop crying i just want it to be over with. He should have already had his interview said up by now...it is ridiculous. It sucks how someone else besides us has control over our love life...i hate it so much...

maybe i missed this in an earlier post but why do you need to wait for packet 3 from the embassy? all the forms are online. you can just download them, fill them out and send them to the embassy. haven't some ppl on this thread sent in the packet 3 documents w/o receiving them from the USEM? does the USEM in haiti ask for something special? or send some other special form that you can't get on their website? if not, i say don't wait for the post office and their drama. just send them in.

Maybe all embassies are different, but I'm totally lost on these Packet 3 and Packet 4 things. It seems in Russia they just sent you an invitation letter to the interview with all the instructions and some info about the medical. And I believe you can't set up a medical before you get that info from them because medical has to be 3 days before the interview (or so I heard). On the embassy site they also specifically tell you not to mail any of the required forms, just bring them with you to the interview. Am I missing something here?

I just had a big p3/p4 with my fiance an hour ago. He was really confused. I think that every embassy is a little different. For France, as I understand it - NVC sends the embassy the approved petition. The embassy sends the foriegn fiance p3. The fiance sends p3 back. The embassy sends p4 which includes the interview date and info for scheduling the medical.

Because darkraven has been waiting so long for the p3 with no end in sight because of the embassy, mail carrier or both, I suggested that darkraven should just dl the forms from the uscis website. It seems like it has worked for other VJ'ers BUT I took a look at Haiti's embassy page and it looks a lil complicated. they have a "Packet 3.5" system" which includes a preliminary check done by an outside courier service...interesting.

maybe VJ'ers in the Haiti forum can help???

I guess they must be different. I searched high and low, but couldn't find any mention of either Packet 3 or 4. All it says is:

"Approved I-129F Petition will be forwarded to the appropriate U. S. Embassy and the petitioner will be notified of I-129F Petition approval.

Once interview at the Embassy has been scheduled, the beneficiary is provided via mail with an invitation letter and information sheet outlining the steps to be taken. "

I guess we'll just wait until we get something in the mail and take it from there.

yeah ive never seen packet 3 or 4 mentioned on an us embassy website. i think its VJ language. i looked at russia's VJ page and it doesn't list packet 3 or 4. refer to the Russia forum? or i guess you can wait to see what they send you. i say check out the russia forum beforehand so you know what to expect.

btw, i got my NVC notice letter today it's dated 12/15 but i called on monday and they told me that my i129f was sent to France on 12/12, last friday.

Yep, it's just VJ language. I just inundated Andy with all the forms he has to finish filling out for the interview and all the copies he needs to make. Some of it I couldn't answer for him, like stuff about his previous supervisors and military questions, or his parents' middle names. And the DS-156 seems to be an web-only form (not PDF like the rest)... not sure why.

I haven't gotten my NVC notice letter yet, but the weather around here is pretty bad. I'm hoping it's just slow because of that. This is what it looked like outside my window today :

Andy and I had a long talk yesterday about finances and he's pounding the pavement some more for work. Things just look too scary without him bringing some money in. We may be looking at a significant delay at his move over. It's basically a no-win situation -- one way he's here and we're stressed about money, the other way he's there and we're stressed about being apart. Really, the whole thing wouldn't be such a problem if not for the ~90 days it's taking for EAD, and I really resent that it takes so long. If they don't want the non-USC to become a public charge, why not let them work automatically on entry (instead of only if you get the lucky EAD stamp)? I feel really frustrated.

when you fill out the DS-156 online it prints out a barcode on the form, thus the need to do it on their website.

[Cham 3]

AWW Aubrey..Do not stress hun, I am in the same boat! So when he gets home I am switching jobs. I have to. My job has no medical and I want to make that 125% WITHOUT having to count my SSI and get off the dang thing!

When Life hands you lemons....THROW THEM at people who you can't stand...watching them scream when the juice gets in the eye, makes me feel SOOOOOO much better!

I will be crossing my fingers for you both sweetie!!!

How is everyone doing?? hang in there the noa2s WILL happen!!! If love is strong it can with stand wars. Take those stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones

OKAY im off my damn soap box!! LOL

love you guys!

I agree! It makes no sense! They can't work for months! That must crush their manhood, that many of us are women and we need to support our men. Its real hard, but Andy's looking, n bound to get a job. Things will work out, but its going to be very tough!! But once he is here n you two are together, u can go through the tough times together, thats much better then over the phone/internet...plus, nothing will seem so bad when our SOs are with us. It will work out! Don't despair!

hello to all!

vermont!

JULY FILERS! anybody still waiting !?

my timeline:

-NOA1 = JULY 29th

-no touchs

-NOA2 = only God knows!!!

kisses!

[babynursetobe 0]

I am sorry to hear you got stuck at NVC!! I am crossing my fingers for you that your case is out there soon. This is ridiculous after this long wait for NOA2 ...

Congrats on all approvals! VSC seems to really catch up!!!

Who is left of all July filers? Anyone? Or do I already have to join the August thread to have some companions?

I'm still here! no touches, no approval, nothing.

me too, no nothing !!!

I'm still waiting too............had TWO touches in October but NOTHING since and I'm losing my mind this week. Really not dealing well with this at ALL!! I know there are allot more out there who've been waiting alto longer, but...........USCIS already screwed with us once and it just adds more insult to injury if u know what i mean................oh well and the waiting continues...........

Wow, I can't believe it! We have slowly made it into Igor's Top 40 with some fine other June and July filers! Yay #37! Who knows, we may even be lucky enough to break into the Top 10 in the coming weeks. What an honor. My salute to all those 36 other petitioners & Igor watchers with positions above me! In any kind of scoring system attaining these lofty positions would be truly admirable, so here it should also be that way! Part of me would really feel disappointed in myself to have only made it to 105 or 78 and suddenly be booted out of this stage. Here's to more of us 'making it to the Top!"

I am such a slacker I am only at #49! :Lil:

Wow #49 huh?? I'd give my right arm I think to be that number.............I'm wayyyy down the list at #139. Why is that?? I have no idea how this whole process works and its soooo damn frustrating when I see others who filed after me getting approved, not that I'm not happy for them, but........."oh well such is life"??

you filed in sept?? you have a ways to go yet though so be patient hun it will happen..i know its rough!! HUGGLES!!!!!!!

Actually I sent my I130 in on July 29th so that makes me a september filer?? How so??

PB and all in July who still have not received your noa2s...lots of finger crossing here and prayers!! if you hit 6 months..get your congressman on it and fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also for whoever is stuck in NVC...hugs and prayers as well

Kai got beat up ..he is okay ..two guys who did not like redhead men and were smashed drunk let him have it while he was leaving work. he has a black eye and cement rash as they hit him while he was down AFTER they taunted and shoved him. He chose NOT to fight back due to the visa. BUT will wait NOW to even schedule a medical until it is all cleared up. His father knew the guy who hit him and found him, grabbed him buy the shirt collar told him *listen mate you touch my family or friends and I will beat you like a hooker stuck to a dunny door! the guy was shaking and the main one who hit Kai was HIDING in a cupboard so his dad and his friend WENT IN dragged the lil ####### out and let him have it..slapped him like a girl and told him..HOW do YOU like being hit when YOUR down.

They saw Kai and ran today at the mall...so they wont be coming round again!! They do know Kai from metal weapons and reanactments..its just silly to get drunk and act like a MORON!!!!!!!!!!!

ANYWAY that was OUR day on top of ME having to go to the ER again and missing another day of work because of this huge fall I took...The doc said my back is so messed up that if I do not find another job that is not so demanding I will be in a wheelchair at the rate I am going. my c1 c2 and c3 were puffy and my L6 7 and 4 are really out of place and I have 4 bulging disk now...SOOO my nerve endings are very tender and make my legs twitch and jump...

I REFUSE TO BE LIKE MY MOTHER!! in a bed demanding this or that and not being able to ever be dependent!

I wish I would have NEVER took the car out that day so some drunk moronic teen could hit me...YES i know I am lucky..very lucky to even be alive!

The car was totaled I hit my head on the windshield, crushed my left hand my kneecaps and cracked my c4 and l4 5 and 8 SO ya I'm very lucky because I used a wheelchair for almost 5 years and a cane for 4...its getting worse and I cant be in denial any longer..SOOO taking baking and secretarial training to upgrade my skills

SIGH...God or the Gods only give you as much as they or he or she thinks YOU can handle and I must be a tough damn cookie..

Thanks all for letting me vent..its been a LONGGGGGGGGGG DAY!!

loves you VJ family!!

sorry for the double post but I forgot to highlight what i said so i wasn't sure if u could see it or not since it was mixed in with the previous post.

Sweetie, if you don't need to specifically quote someone you can just hit 'add reply' also... it's right below the +quote and "reply buttons after the last post on the page. It'll make your comments easier to find in your posts.

Are you going to school right now? Although I'm taking some time off, I'm going for nursing as well... When do you graduate?

I always said I wanted to be an OB nurse in the nursery - but I know it'd kill me to send babies home with ppl that I thought weren't going to be good parents! LOL It would just drive me insane! Thought I'd aim at surgery instead.

Well i dont think it is going faster at all....infact i am so sick of immigration...we were approved like 6 weeks ago and my fiance still did not get his packet 3 yet...it is not moving faster...he should have an an interview date by now and physical date....this is bullcrap and it is depressing...i just want him back home and for this to be over with...

I know it might sound silly and I dont mean it too but have you spoken to anyone at NVC/the embassy?

okay so here is the deal...monday Johny called the embassy in haiti...and of course they wouldnt tell him #### without the pin number...so i called NVC who said that they sent the package to haiti on NOV 12!!!!!!!! So We purchased the stupid pin #. Johny and I both called them today and collectively got from them that they sent packet 3 out on Nov 25th however he has not recieved it. So NOW they said that we have to give the post office at least a month to find his house and deliever it and if they dont deliever it before or on 25th, he will be given permission to go pick it up himself at the embassy but he is not allowed to do it before the month is up!

IM so sick of this i cant stop crying i just want it to be over with. He should have already had his interview said up by now...it is ridiculous. It sucks how someone else besides us has control over our love life...i hate it so much...

maybe i missed this in an earlier post but why do you need to wait for packet 3 from the embassy? all the forms are online. you can just download them, fill them out and send them to the embassy. haven't some ppl on this thread sent in the packet 3 documents w/o receiving them from the USEM? does the USEM in haiti ask for something special? or send some other special form that you can't get on their website? if not, i say don't wait for the post office and their drama. just send them in.

Hey Koakland ! I have a question. Apparently your love is a french citizen. I looked for the official documents to download (packet3) on the US embassy in France website but I didn't find them. Do you know where I can find them ? I know that some can be different from a country to another and I would like to find the ones from the US embassy in Paris. Since my RFE I don't want bad surprise anymore and I would like to send the documents before I receive the packet3. Thank you

Thanks for checking! I, myself, been checking quite a few Russian sites, but there is just too much info out there with some of it being outdated and some just plain wrong. That's why I try to stick to the original sources. I think we'll just take it as it comes.

I haven't received my NVC letter yet, but I called them on Tuesday and they told me the petition was forwarded to Moscow on 12/12 and gave me our new case number. I believe they use DHL to transfer cases to embassies, so it shouldn't take too long before it's there. Some people recommend to start e-mailing them about 10 days after petition left NVC to inquire about the interview date. I'm planning to do just that on Monday.

I need prayers. I have finally got brave enough to ask my son in law to cosponsor keith. He is reading the paperwork now. I dont feel good about it but I am praying that he will say yes. I have explained that this is just for the K1 process so please say a little prayer for me. He makes well over the amount needed so if he would do this it would fly through with no problems at all. I was shaking when I spoke to him. but I had to do it. I have to try anything in order to get Keith here
