Congrats toocute. On to the nvc stage now.

Looks like Csc is picking up a little. Now my buddy jesals turn.

Also saw thar someone with noa1 date of March 19 got a touch yesterday so that means Csc is looking at files till that day at least

A little more approvals (12-15) and I should hear by middle of August.

Thank you everyone. Yahya_marie, you was right. Now I hope and pray the process through NVC is quicker than CSC. I want to see more filiers make it through also.

[Rich and Bey 1]

Congrats Too cute!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a few more will be approved for last week. hopefully some more 3/11 or 3/12.. looks like its time to get going with the second half of the month. come on csc..

[Rich and Bey 1]

we need more than 9 a week. at this pace april filers wont be ready until september basically. there is roughly 50 left on vj alone. that means that is roughly 5 weeks for just vj petitions and then april will be another week or two. we will be ready by september then. i see they are picking up the pace but they need to do more than what they are doing.

I think you have several issues going on here. First off it sounds like your Husband is here illegally. That's not go I in my view. Secondly how would he go back to see his family. I don't think he can just jump on a plane and fly back to Honduras as you need Passports and Visa to travel abroad... I am not an expert here and perhaps I misunderstood what your saying. If he is illegal I am surprised you got an approved NOA2 as the US homeland security supposedly do background checks on applicants. That is what I believe takes so long... But hey what do I know... I am sitting here waiting like almost everyone else.

Yeah Tom he is here without inspection, aka illegally. As i said I would ask for him to leave with permission, as in ask for advance parole, which I've found out that he is not eligible so if he wanted to leave it would have to be a voluntary deportation. Husband does have his Honduran passport, as any "unlawfully present" immigrant can go to their consulate and acquire one. I too am surprised that the I-130 was approved so quickly, but then again we do have a child together, and from what I'm reading every case it considered "unique". My worries are in proving extreme hardship in front of a BIA Judge due to not being familiar with how a Judge would interpret and apply the waiver to my specific case.

I do know that what I have on my side is that we have a young child who would be psychologically damaged by the separation, I am a U.S. Tax paying citizen, my parents are U.S. Tax paying Citizens, and we are not eligible for “federal means-tested public benefit”. Even though I have learned to speak Spanish with my husband that I'm not comfortable with the thought of leaving the U.S. to seek residence in Honduras. Secondly, I would not be able to complete my B.S., nor do I think my child would be able to get the same education in Honduras that she would be able to attain in the U.S.

I know there are some other folks here who might be in the same situation so I've posted some links and quotes from some pages I've found while doing my research.

"How to apply for a waiver of excludability - ‘Unlawful Presence’

An immigrant visa applicant who is ineligible for a visa under INA 212(a)(9)(B) “Unlawful Presence” may not apply for a waiver unless he or she is the spouse or son or daughter of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR). A waiver under INA 212(a)(9)(B)(v) will be granted in such a case only if the applicant can establish that denial of his or her admission would result in extreme hardship for the U.S. citizen or LPR."

*Notes Below: http://www.ilw.com/articles/2007,0717-scott.shtm

"What are applicable legal arguments for an Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility?

All arguments for Applications for Waivers of Grounds of Inadmissibility are based on the precept that there is a qualifying relative who will suffer "extreme hardship" if the Alien's admission is denied. "Extreme hardship" is very vaguely defined as greater than the normal hardship the qualifying relative can be expected to experience if the Alien is denied admission. It is important to prove both why the qualifying relative cannot move abroad AND why the qualifying relative cannot simply live in the US without the Alien. It is not enough to say that the qualifying relative will miss the Alien's company as this is considered "normal" hardship, not extreme hardship."

WHOA... You're in a tough situation and I think you're in for a ride...JMHO. I dont know that I agree with your analysis.

[BigSigh 12]

So to everyone who is still waiting for their NOA2's....I hope you have read this:

http://www.visajourney.com/news/2010/07/08/new-consular-visa-fees-in-effect-on-july-13th/

I was hasty in my reading when I noticed that the $400 went down to $355 . I failed to see that the other fee associated with the IV bill (before it was $355 visa fee plus $45 security fee =ing $400) has gone from $45 to $74. That means instead of paying $400, the new few is $404.

As for the AOS fee, it goes from $70 to $88.

How lame!

[KdRjN 2]

WHAT!!! December? There has got to be more to that story. Why has it taken you so long and still no NOA2?

all i know is about they are still checking our background we sent a letter to senator of the time that we are out of processing time thats why i hope i will hear somethings soon

good luck all
