haha, have you (Mrs. B) even bothered reading any of my posts? I am going through EXACTLY what you are going through with the so-called security checks.. I am still trying to help you, but you won't listen.. :thumbs:

first off.. this is to your HUSBAND..

what kind of ####### do you think you are? going for a promotion and can't even help your wife? I went through grad school, found a job in the city of LA (government job), and had time to go back 6 times to visit her, over the past 4 years.. the USCIS is doing SOMETHING, because you aren't doing ANYTHING... no ######, sherlock.. did you deduce that all by yourself?? (that's to your husband, not you)...I'm being really hard on your husband because he isn't doing ANYTHING for you.. (by the way, I send money every few months too for her).. I wake up everyday at 5AM just to go to work.. and yet I made a promise to my wife to CALL HER EVERYDAY.. no matter how late or how early.. she WILL hear from me everyday.. we have been doing that over 4 years now.. 1600 days.. we have been doing phone calls everyday, and most of the time webcam too.. so next time tell him to shut up or put up.. and tell him to talk to me.. I'll have more BS to shove up his butt more than he can handle..

Wow, this post has seen so much since my last visit here. At some point it trailed off to some completely different case all together, then came back to me and not in the most positive ways. I'm sure that the whole point of jundp's snapping at me was to "wake me up" to realize what a horrible, self-centered person I am. Or perhaps it was just there to point out his/hers serious nature. We may never know, as I suspect that jundp took off in a hurry after getting all that off of his/hers chest. Anyway...

I have a feeling that jundp hasn't been following the topic from the start (and I can't blame them as it's been going on for a good while now) as I thought that I've been giving everyone plenty of updates on how my case has been processing (or more like not processing) along. I've stated when we got married, when we sent off our papers and what has happened since. I never felt it to be that important to fill in my timeline because (and I've said this before) there are 3 dates that I can fill in. 3 dates that I've also mentioned in my posts. But I've added them to the timeline and 2 fictionary dates for when we sent our I-130 and I-129F because I don't have the exact dates and my husband can't seem to recall. So the 3 dates are: Our wedding on December 15th, 2007, the day we got the NOA1 on I-130 (April 16th, 2008) and the day we got the NOA1 on I-129F (June 6th, 2008). I'm not sure how posting those on my timeline are useful to anyone but there they are now.

Other than that, nothing official has been done to our case. We have no FOR SURE info on anything. That's kind of the problem. Our case has been f*cked up so much over the course of the past year (and some months) that I wonder if even the USCIS knows what's going on. In fact, my husband just called them and they said what they told us already half a year ago: that the case has been forwarded to the "correct personnel".

I'd also like to point out that I'm sure it's easy for people to point out how we need a lawyer and such. I know we do. I just also know we simply cannot afford that kind of money. Everything we earn these days just goes to basic living expenses.

There's also another problem with all this, which I can't remember if I've mentioned but... The main problem is that I am in fact in Finland. And it's very hard for ME to do much for our case from here. The U.S. Embassy in Helsinki has no power in this and the USCIS won't give me any information since I'm not the American in this relationship. It's hard to keep in touch with the congressmen/senators when I have to be the one to try to track them down when they're present since I can't even give them my number so that they could call me back, since I'm foreign and all. Everything I or we do needs the participation of my husband. He's up for a promotion at his work and it seems that he has to work pretty much 24/7. When he's home, he's just so tired of even hearing about this immigration stuff that he'll rather just go to bed than discuss the topic. I have been minding my own business for a while now, to give him a chance to breathe again without the immigration hanging over his head. It kills me to constantly have to ask him to do this and that when I'd rather be doing it myself, but I simply CAN'T because I'm not American. Whenever I discuss the immigration with my husband he just tells me to have some faith in the process and that the USCIS MUST BE doing SOMETHING since they wanted his prints and claim that our case is being processed. I'm not sure how it can possibly take so long, since we demanded the expedite in April and all but hey...

So I'm not really b*tching and moaning about stuff here, at least I don't think I am. I'm simply stating the facts. If you'd know me, you'd know that these days the immigration isn't really something that I focus all my time and energy on. I was doing that for way too long, so long in fact that it was starting to affect my health and I was really ticked off all the time and generally unpleasant company. Right now, for a good 1,5 months longer I'm all about focusing on my job. And then my husband will come visit me for a couple of weeks and I'll be deciding what I want to do with my life. I am willing to do what my husband wants and just "give it (USCIS) some time", but not indefinitely. I'm going to want some answers by the next fall. Perhaps if we get no news from the USCIS by the time my internship is over, I'll just restart my life in Finland as I have no interest in sleeping any more YEARS on that damn couch... I want a proper job and my own apartment and the ability to know where I'll be in 2 months time.

second.. people are going through the same thing you are going thorough.. they are just trying to help you and see where you SHOULD be at.. again, you should take a look at my links I gave you regarding the security checks.. we are all in this together, even though we have our own FINAL PRIZE to win.. and some of us will have so many problems to deal with (like me).. sometimes I see people get approved and I am jealous.. how come our journey was not as smooth as others?.. :crying: :crying:

agreed

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

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!

Hello gogo,

I'm sorry I haven't said anything sooner, I've been really busy at work and with my niece's upcoming party next weekend. I've just come home and crashed to bed pretty much. As far as I know we've been out of the security checks a couple of months ago, though nobody told us why they needed my husband's biometrics. But supposedly security checks are over and done with and they're processing our application (apparently for months).

I did look through the links you provided (thank you!), in fact some I had seen before and looked through. I read through the Secutiy Name Check -thing again and I'm still wondering as to why they're so much more interested in my husband than me. Is it because it was so easy for them to find out that I haven't got so much as a parking ticket that they needed something else to do?

The only problem I have with all these fantastic links is running into fantastic words I don't neccessarily understand (and my dictionary apparently hasn't heard of). I try to offer them for my husband to read so he can then explain them to me in a way that I also understand them. I'm gonna study these a bit more for now, when I have free time. My husband has spoken of contacting the ombudsman (finally) about our case since he too is starting to realize this isn't going anywhere...

Wow, thank you again for the (seemingly endless supply of) links!

As an "update", our case hasn't received any touches since mid-April (I-130) and mid- to late May (I-129F, which was supposed to no longer excist). We've now contacted the Ombudsman.

And since it didn't let me edit that post...

- I will share the links with my husband and hopefully he'll have some time to contact some of these people by phone. It feels a bit silly to think that I'd go to the president with this... But well, I guess it's worth a shot, though I suppose he has more pressing matters to deal with than poor little me... ;)

I think you might actually get somewhere now.

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!

Today, I've also attempted to contact the president and the first lady. I'm pondering if contacting Finland's ministry of foreign affairs would help somehow... Hrm hrm... One does not simply call to the president, right?

yes gogo but....you are the US citizen kicking but and taking names because your file is not being processed in a timely manner. It seems to me that mrsB's husband is not taking such an active role in the immigration process, yet it is only he who has the power to move things along on this side. she cannot as she is the foreign beneficiary.
