Thank you Joe & Nadya for showing me the way here!!! It's reassuring to know that other people are going through the same thing...helps me to be a lot calmer since we've been in AP for 10 business days only (since March 20th 2009), but at the same time afraid that it can be a long time before we move on. I'm just soooooo annoyed by the people at NVC....it's frustrating not to know what's going on. it would make the wait so much easier to have a little info. but as someone else mentioned, maybe we should call once a week, or is it too soon? I'm even more mad that they intend on sending the file to the wrong consulate (Vancouver instead of Montreal), but luckily, the people in Vancouver are much more helpful and will forward the file to Montreal as soon as they receive it.

Well you can have most of our info in my signature and timeline. I'm Julie, the non-USC, glad to be around people who understand! I loooove VJ!!! :lol:

ruby_mtl and rymusic04 I knew the feeling about your stresses, come here and you can feel relieved since all of us share together our experiences.

hi you guys!! interview done today. i passed!! woohoo!

Fantastic news, Congratulations!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

Hi guys ... and yes it's true :thumbs:

I actually knew about Joe and Nadya's case before Nadya :P I happen to text Joe on his cell phone, and he had gotten off the phone like 10 minutes before with the NVC and was trying to reach Nadya! I told Joe in person, but I'll tell Nadya here ... CONGRATS NADYA!!! Very happy for you two :yes:

So it got me to thinking ... we are only a few days behind J & N ... at around 48 days ... so I called the NVC a couple hours later and received the great news ... our case was being sent to Kiev today :dance::dance::dance:

Thanks for all the support here ... and to those new ones, just read these recent posts and take heart ... YOUR day is coming soon :thumbs:AP is not forever ... though you may sometimes wonder ... just know that you will get out of it. I would encourage anybody thrown into AP to stay in touch with this thread. It will really help you through it ... there are some really nice people here :thumbs:

Very happy for both of you, I hope the rest of the process flies by fast :)

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I'm hoping that some of your good karma should hopefully rub off on us too, since we got released from NVC on the same day as you. If all goes well, we should get our interview date scheduled for sometime in May, and I hope my honey can come to me soon afterwards :)

Guys, I'm really sorry about this. It's been up and down (far more down than up) all day today.

It seems to be up right now, although very slow. But I can't make any predictions about what will be 5 minutes from now :(

Apparently the guy who runs this free webhosting site has been doing some major cleanup and that's why it's been down so much.

Hopefully he's nearly finished now. He has status reports about the downtime at http://www.nxserve.net/mybb/forumdisplay.php?fid=37

I'm also considering moving the entire project to another site http://x10hosting.com/freehosting.php if nxserve.net doesn't get it's act together quickly.

hello all,

Initially, I started my journey posting questions about my K1 visa petition being too complicated as it is. The first post I had was about filing a K1 visa petition as soon as getting divorced. With it, after I stated my case, I got all the haters, without even thinking whats the real deal. Let me give you guys an idea on what was our situation before today.

My fiance was married to a Filipina for 8 long years. They have a 6 yr old kid. He petitioned the first wife 2002 with an IR1 visa category. In the middle of the petition, my fiance met me, around 2004. We started chatting online, since we were only introduced thru MySpace and finally met July 27, 2005 when he visited philippines that time. I knew about the marriage but he said they are longer together so I continued with the relationship with him. When he went back to US after that 1 month visit, I learned that they are still together and the petition is still running. That moment that I knew that they are still together, I broke up with him and the next day I knew i was pregnant with him. I continued with the baby, gave birth April 25, 2006. When my baby turned 3 months, I filed for a CRBA for him and it was granted and now he is a US Citizen already.

IR1 for the wife got approved March 2008 and left for Hawaii on April 2008. My 'fiance' continued with the petition because he thought the relationship with the first wife will be fixed once she get to the US. My fiance went to Guam and not flew to hawaii with her because he got an offer for a new job and a business around end of March. As you notice the petition took alot of years and the first wife already had the plans all set and dont want to go with him to Guam. THe whole plan was for the wife to go to Hawaii and my 'fiance' try to go to Guam and check out the life there. My 'fiance's ' business went well the same time as the wife got a stable job in Hawaii. He wanted her to come over to Guam with him and unfortunately, they started fighting over it and resulted to divorce. My fiance filed for a divorce on July 2008, that was 3 months after the wife got to the US.

My fiance decided that after the divorce, he will petition with with a fiance visa petition. Divorce was granted Oct 3, 2008. My fiance filed for my K1 visa on Oct 10, 2008. He went to Manila for 5 days and proposed to me on October 15, 2008. I am all worried about our case bec he just got divorced and the ex wife just got to the US. I know that it will be a red flag for them. But we still pushed thru with it as we really have a bonafide relationship with trials and mistakes along the way.

We were also worried about his income when we'll have my affidavit of support since he got there in the middle of the year meaning it will be hard for him to earn income good for 6 household. THat will include the ex wife, their kid, me, our baby my first kid and him. But his business suffice the income and made 35k for 6 months plus savings. so were ok with that.

People here thought that we are having a VISA Fraud with my case and will cause the first wife to be deported and me being denied on my interview. Let me tell you guys that I JUST GOT MY VISA APPROVED, for one because we really love each other and our relationship is genuine. Mistakes happen, we are just people not perfect as it is.

For all the people who hated and posts stuffs againsts my case, I understand your point. And thank you also for being a part of our journey.

Thank you people!

My STucked @ NVC family means alot to me. Thank you, thank you thank you.
