CharlieBox --- It took only 7 days for me to get my NOA1 but it took me almost 2 years to get Loan over here. Just prepare yourself and your fiancee mentally for the journey ahead. It could be fast, it could be long ... You never know.

I used to be indecisive. Now I am just not sure ...

Yeah, they were not granted the visa after the interview. He was placed in AR for about a year.

What were the reasons for the Administrative Review?

Hi CharlieBox,

Looks like you mailed your I-129F petition on July 3rd. Remember you had a holiday in there (i.e. July 4th) where mail stopped and USCIS stopped.

Patience...Patience...Patience

Dalegg, thanks :) ... You just saved me some typing here

Kevin,

Why did they want Loan to know your ex's prior addresses? What is that all about? Sounds sort of silly to me. I mean, what? they expect her to have a relationship with them too? LOL.

They ask that of everyone I think. They did mine too. Be ready if you have to (it's not on the checklist either)

CharlieBox,

They will, for sure, ask for it if you had been married before. Of course, I received absolutely no assistance from my former spouse. So, I wrote a statement saying where I thought she was at that time, then I had the statement notarized. They took the statement without any problems. One of the main reason why they ask for this is to determine the legitimacy and merit of your case.

I used to be indecisive. Now I am just not sure ...

Maybe I am missing something, I still don't get it. I mean, I have been married 2 other times to US citizens, we are divorced....what more is there that needs to be said except for the divorce paperwork. Are you telling me I have to track down all these old memories and get in touch with these people to get thier address for Thanh so she can tell them where they live? I am not sure how they can prove legitimate or not by my fiancee knowing the address of my ex's or not. How retarded.

CharlieBox,

I'm sure you'll say that at least a few more times throughout this process. Just realize that it is part of the process and things should start to get more clear for you!

How retarded.

Hmmm.... street addresses, or just location? My first wife has moved a couple of times and we don't communicate.

The considered opinion is that I should track down that info for my finacee'?
