Hey, I've been lurking your guys boards for some time ( the validation email kept dumping to my bulk mail folder in yahoo....finally found it). I guess nothing better then feeling everyone's pain/confusion on this IMBRA stuff as a group...phew..not alone. I just cant explain it to friends or family..at least not clearly enough.

Anyhow..I've already filed my 129F for my girl in brasil. We sent everything in before we found VJ.. :unsure: so now we're waiting to see what might be wrong with our application..I wish I found VJ's guide before submitting to the office..but definitely been stuck like glue to VJ's site since..

So me and kelly met online, she lived with her uncle in maryland..she was here doing some english teaching stuff. she left back to brasil and we kept contact. she used her vistor's visa and came straight to me and lived an awesome time together for 6months (visitor visa) and then decided to get engaged. she's met all my family and friends and everything was cool. we sent our application and held our breath..well been holding our breath since..we thought thats the rough part..

This whole IMBRA thing has us really really worried...my biggest worry is the CSC processing date has not moved since Feb 15...and I think a big day is when it moves to March 6 and beyond...I mean that's when IMBRA is considered 'official'. ..I'm really curious to know if anyone has been approved with receipt dates pass March 6?

We filed in May..rec'd NOA1 for May 9...RFE for IMBRA on July 1...no touches/nada since..

Oh, I'm still figuring out all the lingo.. :P

take care

mike and kelly
