You may wanna post this in the main forum for more exposure.

I also suggest PMing PUSHBRK in this forum, he knows more about kids stuff and things like this.

Goodluck

Im still here despite me being extremely busy with the visa stuff and work. I will be here assisting other visa applicants because if you gone through this the amount of knowledge you gain through this process is quite valuable to others.

Thank you Fredy, i appreciate you being here although i know you're going thru a lot as everyone else, :blush:

you're very helpful to everyone..

i cant wait for another week to pass for us to make 6 months

HAVE A NICE SUNDAY ALL! :star:

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anybody has any information about visiting the US before the interview date.

My fiance gave birth a month early today. The problem is my packet 3 is stuck in processing hell. We sent it out 4 weeks ago this friday and we cannot do anything about it not getting there until that day, and even then we do not know what action the embassy will take. They may just ask us to send it again.

CONGRATULATIONS on becoming a dad!!! I am afraid I cant give you any answers to your questions but wanted to wish you all the best and hope you find a way to be with your new family soon !! (F)

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anybody has any information about visiting the US before the interview date.

My fiance gave birth a month early today. The problem is my packet 3 is stuck in processing hell. We sent it out 4 weeks ago this friday and we cannot do anything about it not getting there until that day, and even then we do not know what action the embassy will take. They may just ask us to send it again.

I was wondering if it would be possible to visit just for a week or two. Until i get my interview date. Money isn't an issue i would just like to know if this is possible as i really need/wan't to be there to help out.

I don't really have anything like an apartment contract or a job contract as i am living at home and i'm unemployed at the moment. Is there anything else i can use as proof that i will be returning?

Any help would be wonderful, i really need some information.

Thank you,

Neil.

PLEASE don't take my word for it, but I always pass via the San Fran POE when visiting UK and returning home...this last time I came through (January) the immigration officer (or whatever they're called) was talking to me about the fiance' visa process we are going through and I mentioned to him that I had made the trip instead of Rob as we had been told it's likely that my SO would be turned away at this time.

He said that is the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard and that he processes them trough a LOT, after all he said, "isn't that the point of being engaged...to see each other??"

I would at least check into it, now that the wee one is around. Congratz. :) G

Okay so I missed a lot of fun lately firts let me congratulate NEIL for having a beautiful baby :dance::huh: . I think Stinkerpotsam gave you a good advise, be friendly to the officer and explain the truth about your situation. And if it helps you, let me tell you my baby father wasn't here when I gave birth and only saw her once when she was 3 mons, now she's 19 mons. and I cannot wait for him to be here. Tough, tough but I really think this sacrifice is worth it!.

Next, Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss :thumbs: to Anisa for her approval.

For all the ones with hard questions, please post in main forums, there are a lot of experts out there (Thanks to all!).

And finally, Dany I will be here for long too, you are my buddies, plus my help desk still allows me to enter VJ (sigh) what a wonderful thing!. :innocent:

Congratulations Neil. :)

Welcome back Mia, you're a very positive person and it will pay off for you. The last goodbye.

That's good to hear, Cuchita. I've always been honest with the officers and said that I'm visiting my boyfriend/fiance and answered all of their questions openly. It's terrifying! Especially when they start asking further questions about your intentions and trying to find out what you know about moving. I always just say that I'm not moving until X time because I have Y responsibilities back home, and that seems to satisfy them usually.

Hope everyone is feeling OK, I'm hoping for you Dani and Mara.
