You know everything about our journey so far and, as much as I tell you if wasn't for you we couldn't make it, I still think I have not enough words to show you how grateful I am for your support and your friendship. This is OUR victory!! God is looking for us and we know He wouldn't never let us down.

Now we just have to wait and be ready for the next step.

Lots of love,

your little friend Beinha

My fiance and I, we work on our Petition Fiance together without a lawyer, but we have an amazing friend Lisa helping us as she got married same way and her first advice was "go check Visa Journey website". To make it short, we have sent the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance to USCIS on 2009/07/11 and we got their response on 2009/07/15 and last night 2009/07/31 we received their email saying:

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

Wow!!!

Parabens pra voce!!!

I am stunned that USCIS approved you so quickly without any expedite reason (military or other). I almost think that they made a mistake. It's not uncommon to see USCIS make mistakes, but usually their mistakes work against you (and cost more time)! This is truly a gift from the USCIS Gods!!! Enjoy!

Congratulations, si man! :)

Jealous folks or people in pain from their own wait may give you grief about this quick approval, now and later. Deflect them with the quite plausible answer of "Perhaps ours was picked up off the stack and used as an example file when a new adjudicator was being trained."

Now, prepare THOROUGHLY for the embassy -- read the reviews, paying particular attention to the horror stories, and get MORE than enough evidence together (overkill is NEVER overkill). It cannot be emphasized enough that BOTH of you should be there for the interview, even if the USC is not allowed in the interview itself or even on the consular premises. The USC's not being there can be a "make or break" issue, even if nothing is ever said about it by the consul.

Edited by TBoneTX

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Thank you for your words, I appreciate those. And as much as we want just to give hopes and share our happiness, to the ones that feels jealousy, here is my quote:

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always." Gandhi

My life is perfect now, I'm here with my love and everything is great! I feel blessed, thank you God for all your plans, they are way better than I could have ever asked for.
