Greetings All,

I haven't made a post for a while but today is a cause for celebration. My fiancée had her interview today and it was successful! After 11 long months since we filed our petition with USCIS, and for those of you who have been following our case know the many frustrations we went through trying to get USCIS to correct an error they made, know how happy we are to finally be completed with this process!

To those of you new to this website it is a wonderful recourse and don't be afraid to share your frustrations and ask for assistance. There is a wealth of collective experience and knowledge from the members of this site. Even though you may feel total frustration with the whole Visa process at times hang in there because it eventually does come to an end and know that you will have all our support and prayers along the way.

I want to thank all those who offered advice these past months and Vinera and I want to express our wishes to all you for a very long and happy life together!

Thanks Again to All,

Vinera & Gerald

I've read your timeline, USCIS made a mistake. Just right they approved you in 3 months coz they owe you for their negligence.
