well this is cool, we got people i believe who are in same situation with similar timelines. MrsWhizz, Me, Isabel, simplemale and girl37. Who thinks our k3 will approve before the CR1?

MrsWhiz i hope thats the imbra rfe ey?

Hm that would be awesome....since her NOA1 date is March 24th maybe there is hope now. I wouldnt bet that the K3 is approved before the CR1 but hey if so....I would be dancing for hours :D

Isabel

Our K-1 NOA date was 3-16-06. today i recieved a NFE. How much longer do we have to wait for some kind of answer? And also, are they just asking for evidence of a conviction? I dont think i was ever arrested, I never saw a jail cell in my life. the local police here tell me INS is looking for " convictions " . i'm confused.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Have not received anything yet but need to ask: do you send back the RFE by itself? Or submit the entire I-129f package again? (I thought that was the procedure for RFEs.) Anybody get any instructions?

I recieved my RFE since Saturday and according to it all I have to return is the letter along withthe questions. Just two sheets. It did not mention anwhere on it that I need to resubmitt the I129F package.

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

(Attached additional sheets of paper if necessary)____________________________________________

2. Have you ever been convicted by a court of law (civil or criminal) or court martial by a military tribunal for any of the following crimes. (then it gives a list of crimesDomestic violencechild abuse etc)

3. If you have provided information about a conviction for a crime listed above and you were being battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by your spouse, parent, or an adult child at the time of your conviction, check all the following that apply to you:

I was acting out of self-defense

I violated a protection order issued for my protection

I committed, was arrested for, was convicted of, or plead guilty to committing a crime that did not result in serious bodily injury,.....

I received an RFE today regarding IMBRA and I filed for the K-3 Visa. I didn't think it applied to those who were already married, but I guess it does. The first question on the letter specifically references your "fiance or spouse". Anywho, it was a simple enough document (unless you've got a criminal history) and I sent my reply today. We'll see what happens next....

I just received a double email today from the USCIS stating that they mailed me an RFE on 01 July (which i think was a saturday). Are they actually working on the weekends now? Have they seen the light? I hope so for everyone's sake.

Happy 4th to everyone here in lover's limbo!
