August 2008 Filers

[DeathNova 0]

Work visa's have a fee to expedite and it's (as far as I know) always approved, k1/3 visa's can be expedited but I don't think there is a fee, but it's rarely approved, generally it's used for people who are in the military, otherwise it's hard to qualify.

I'm military and there is nothing expedited about my petition. Only work permits have the pay for expedite option so i'm quite certain any < 30 day entries you see are just corrupting the database and making the VJ estimations less accurate.

Expedites are only on the basis of extreme health issues. I have seen one approved in 5 days due to the SO suffering from cancer. No, not a very good situation to get an expedite. I would rather wait.

Being deployed can be grounds for an expedite it seems, which is why I said mostly military get them, just being in the military doesn't do it alone. Basically situations that expedites are granted for are much more typical for people in the military, for someone not in the military it does pretty much have to be life and death.

Hey August filers!!

we saw the new Saw movie (not that good if you ask me, seems to be trying too hard now),

Exactly what I was thinking as I sat there....

Hi everyone! I am an August filer too, but have been in the July forum as my NoA1 date was 8th August so close to July.

I have read your threads, all very cheery and helpful .......but am at a loss as to what an EAD is :$

It is so great to see everyone being so actively supportive here. I am so glad that I happened onto VJ so early on in my 'journey'

Employement Authorization Document, basically until you get a green card, it allows you to work, and is part of the Adjustment Of Status (AOS) that you do once you are married, it can be applied for seperately instead of as part of AOS but that rarely makes sense and costs more than doing it all at once.

You smell like July! How do we know we can trust you?

DANG! August! we have 66 pages on this?

IMAGINE when NOA2's come flying along, this thread is gonna EXPLODE!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am offically P*%$sed at USCIS.

Chris went down today to have his appointment, turns out the officer was away sick, so Chris with his 5 pieces of ID had to see a little woman behind the glass. Said little woman, not helpful. Not only could she NOT give us our NOA1, she couldn't give us our case number, but she could give us a another form for Chris to fill out in regards to his finacial history. Apparently he had not given them enough info.... Does that count as a RFE or is it just them giving us more #######...?

So bloody frustrating!

can we consider December as being a few weeks away?

[Gemmie 142]

I'm sorry this is happening to you guys.

Ugh, frustrating! Why do they need financial information?!

We never had to send any of that stuff in with the packet, no one did... so I doubt it's a RFE.

[Harsh 0]

wow, thats bloody rediculous, I cant believe they r giving u such a hard time.... Those ppl have no freakin' understanding or respect for someone else's time and patience.... I say we all revolt!

[Donna-marie 0]

omg mara, dont think i had anything on original forms regarding financial arrangements as far as i understood it, thats all dealt with at your own countries embassy later on.

Good luck dont be 2 disappointed at least u r in the system and its not all its cracked up to b tracking on uscis u will wish u didnt have the number, drives me mad cant leave it alone and its the same everyday.

Happy halloween for Friday.

[maliciant 7]

Wine and chocolate... I like you better when I see them... and right now I could go for some of that whine... actually I think I will, and I'm going to tie it in with the request for financial forms too... watch the magic people.

UPS RAPED ME FOR $83.25! Magic completed. On the plus side I have a tracking number I can watch for a few days and actually expect to see regular updates to it... much more fun than the USCIS case number, also not quite as rewarding when it does change, but still, it will change a bunch of times in the next few days, and that'll be nice

I can't imagine why they would need a financial form for the information you are asking about, it honestly sounds like they have no idea what chris was asking for or about.

This place is a mad house of various random grief's today, we august filers are ANGRY and we're not going to take this... any more than we have to that is!
