Narina...if someone has infiltrated the group on FB and it causing you trouble, we can easily block this person from viewing/posting on our FB group.

Moving topic....to me!!!

I loved my part time job that I had at my university (and they loved me) so they offered me a full time job in a higher up department. With this economy and a chance at a free MBA (at the second best business school in the US!) I couldn't pass it up.

I had my first day of work today- real work since I just graduated from college in January!

I'm such a child but I'm excited!

Congratulations

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!

Good for you Mary

I am happy for you! You should be excited. Most people hate their jobs....

Just called. They told me I can't expedite just because I am out of the date range. The guy lied to me last week and told me he was putting in a service request for my K-3. He put one in for my CR-1. So they told me I need to wait 30 days from Feb 20th to call back. I did get my call transferred to an officer who told me the reason it is taking so long is the security check on both of us. ( not sure I believe him) but he did say that if I am with an adjuducating officer I should be hearing something really soon. He had a real heavy Jamaican accent and was really hard to understand. He told me not to worry as long as I ddn't get any RFE's or Notice of intent to deny.... THAT KIND OF THREW ME !!! But I'm not going to worry. UGHHHHHH

gOOD mORNING ALL,

Hope this is the week!!!!!!!

Jenn, I was told the same thing on this expedite thingy, suxs!!!

I called bk in two days and they told me I had to wait 30-45 days for an answer...

that is crazyyyyyyyyyy!!! hopefully my app will be done by then...anyhow :(

this past weekend was a rough one for me...I can't take it anymore!!!!

Love the Icons everyone!!

Love the Icons everyone!!

I did end up being able to put expedite requests in for both of my petitions yesterday. I used the error reason. Error because my petitions are out of the time frame given on the website. They told me I will hear something within 5 days. And I am sure they will be asking for evidence to back up my claim.. But I am really just hoping to get someone to look at my petitions !! Kind of a fire under someones BUTT type thing. I have the worst luck, so it probably won't work.

call again and ask for an expedite. they will take info from you. Listen to the list of reasons and then pick ERROR.

I hope something comes through today for all of us.

I feel like I am holding up Narina because she is protesting !!!

Take a look at the dates on the Immigration Time line Link on the top of this page. The dates are sickening !! So encouraging, huh?

Hasn't been the best start to March for K3 at all. I had hoped with so many approvals coming out this past January that maybe VSC had imporved their procesing times but NO - very disappointing.

We have been waiting (as of today) for 259 days since filing our I130 & 199 days since filing our I129F. When we called VSC 2 weeks ago, we were told we can file a service request on April 2 if we dont hear anything from them by that date.

Yes, we got an RFE & yes we've seen a few couples come through & get approved on K1 even with an RFE who have a SHORTER timeline from than us.

Even with checking Igor's list, numerous couple who filed in June - like us - have been approved as well as couples on K3 after us from July, August & did I see a September approval? I know the process for each may be different but #######...? K3's design was to eliminate lengthy seperations. I dont even want to think about what the extra stress of waiting will do to us if we also have to endure a loooooong AP process to.

We have done our fair share of waiting like everyone else but are only becoming increasingly impatient and disappointed. Wish you all the best & sincerely hope we all get what we want very, very soon. (F)

Has there been any approvals this week at all??? I haven't seen anything on the forums yet. This is crazy !
