Ok so we recieved our NOA2 and I am already so excited. I know there is still a mess load of papers that we still need to get through but I feel great because we are already farther along then we were the first time we filed with a lawyer

Here's how it went..... After we married 10-2006 I went to a lawyer to get help. The lawyer was the worst idea I had. He supposedly filed our I130. After continuous phone calls and just about all out harassing to find out what was going on, they asked me to come in and finish the papers. The assistant filed an I129F and sent in all the paperwork needed, our marriage certificate and wedding pics. The lawyer wouldnt even speak to me or look at me when I went in. Apparently the lawyer and his assistant didnt communicate well because, I recieved a denial letter in the mail. Our case was denied due to a non-exsistant I130 that was never filed. Needless to say the government doesnt give you your money back when you file wrong. And the cost to file went up since the first time we filed.

This time I decided to file on my own with the help from all the VJ heroes who are always here for assistance and who make me feel proud to be a member.

So now.... NOA2 (approval) :dance: has been recieved and it looks like next they will send my husband his packet. He is so excited and we are both so nervous. I am nervous and fearful. Even though I know we have every right to be together I know what it feels like to get a regection notice in the mail. Man was I crushed. :crying: Still in the back of my brain sits that fear that wont go away darn it.

I still am not too sure what is comming next and I will be crying out for help to all my VJ brothers and sisters for help in figuring out these papers but I must say I feel so safe here.

Thank you to everyone for always lending a hand

Congratulations....!

Your profile says K3, and you said your I-130 is approved, did you file I-129F ? Do you have both I-129F and I-130 approved?

If you have only I-130 approved and follow the CR1/IR1 path, you can follow the guide by loto, it will help you to fly through NVC.

Congrats. You have to take a look at the guides. Read them over and over again. The Lotofpatience guide is a HUGE help. There are many things (GID certificate from Jordan, birth certificate marriage, divorce, Form 230, etc.) you need to have in place or gettting moving on now to help move your case along at NVC. You need to provide these to NVC before your interview date will be scheduled in AMM.
