Sept 2008 K1 VSC filers

[BabylonFari_K1 0]

For me this especially sucks because if this doesn't happen soon then I won't be able to classify him as my dependent for the fellowship I applied for to go to Africa next year- which means we will have to come with the money ourselves to pay for him to accompany me!!! Plus, I wanted us to spend some time here in the states with my family before we leave this hemisphere. AAAAAHHHHHH!

I'm a bit confused here. It’s really is none of my business but I'm just curious so if you choose not to answer, fair enough.

Are you saying that it's possible to live outside the USA while he's still in the process of getting all his papers? I might be completely wrong as I haven't really looked into AOS thingie (I’m assuming you'd be going to your fellowship post after he adjust his status), but don't you have to reside in the US for a certain period of time per year or have an intention to do so? Or is your fellowship for 6 months only? Will he be able to get all his paperwork sorted out in time to allow him to leave the country?

Well, whatever the answers are, I hope you get your approval soon.

Ummmm. I don't know. I guess I was just going to wait and figure that one out next. My fellowship is for a year so I don't know. I'll have to look into the AOS process, or at least the whole getting travel docs thing. I figure there has to be something around it because military and government employees who take posts overseas often have to turn right around and leave the U.S.- with their fiancee staying or accompanying them. I'm just concerned about this stage now but I guess I should start thinking about the next. I just want us to be together and him to meet my fam. Plus, it will be a hell of a lot easier for him to go with me to Africa from here than from Guyana- if you live in a "developing country" the rich countries don't like to give you the proper paperwork to travel through theirs even if your going to another poor country! AAAAAHHH the system we live in!

Its so ridiculously true. Lets say he wanted to fly to Uganda to meet me. He would have to fly through a major airport i.e. U.S. or Canada, and he couldn't purchase a direct ticket so he would have to buy a ticket to lets say NY and then a ticket to Kampala. He would have to get a travel visa first which would take time and money and might likely be denied because they won't believe he's actually leaving the U.S. and going to Africa. A long long story... this is why he can't come visit me here. Unless you have property, business, etc. in your home country the U.S. doesn't grant travel visas from "high-fraud" or "developing" countries.

Oh, your situation certainly isn't easy. Good luck. It looks like you'll need it.

All right, you, guys, it's all over the news: Vermont is frozen ice cold with -28C. Schools are closed, people might not be able to make it to work (some), I am desperate, but could this be a valid excuse?

Eventually we'll all have our turn and will be the next one. It's just that we all seem to be running our of patience with VSC's production output . It wouldn't be so hard if CSC had the same approval rate as the VSC but as that is not the case, it's frustrating, infuriating and really stressful watching the clock tick away. Getting an approval from VSC is like watching a snail race...

Hi guys! We are Sep filers too and still noothing Reading all this topic, I can say that we are that people who DO care of our process, others people don't know or even don't imagine that there is a such site as a VJ. So, maybe some people who are out of this site get their approvals or maybe VT really is being in cold weather. I saw news too. Let's just hope, soon spring will come and we will get our NOA2

I also found one statistic of Visa site that USCIS approved over 30,000 cases in 2008.. and over 1,100 cases stay without approvals. I am sure VT doesn't use to get such big amount of cases and work double. I mean they get cases and from Texas Service Center. TSC doesn't review K1/K3 anymore.. I guess February will be our month

I sure hope it will! I am 134 days in from NOA 1 and I would really, really hate to wait much more ! Good luck to us all! Its soooo close now!

Note*( in another post I made a mistake and thought it was 136 ^_^oops )
