NVC JUNE 2010 Edition!

[rochelle 0]

Anyone want my July 8th interview haha? I need to reschedule my interview for August but have to call the Embassy again at the end of June or beginning of July when they start scheduling for that month. So the waiting starts again

when i called an NVC operator they told me to wait until i got the email. but i think it doesn't matter if you pay it now or wait for the email.

it has been taking only about 1 day for it to get to a PAID status on average so it won't hurt to wait. but anything is probably okay!

Yeah the shortcuts say to wait till we recieve an email but they are a little outdate on a few points so I'm reluctant to follow them to the dot.

Anyway, yesterday we agreed that my husband woud pay today and just a few minutes ago the AoS showed PAID, so at least this one cleared now and it will take until Monday anyway till the IV clears too. We SHOULD have an email by then, requesting payment.

This is my theory in an ideal world.

If it's available to be paid, pay it. AOS and IV are two separate but parallel tracks.

Hello all.

Today i received very heart breaking news from congressional unit.

For ppl who dont know.. here is my most unlucky timeline.

sent i 130 august 28th 2009

NOA 1 sept 2nd.

RFE issued 2/25/2010 >> proof of bona fide marriage and tax returns and to submit I 846 to uscis. ( wonder why I 864???)

RFE sent 5/01/2010.

I went to my congresswoman's office on june 2nd and asked them to see whats going on, and today i got answer back from USCIS thru congressional unit.

it says.

USCIS record shows an RFE was sent on 2/25/2010. Responce to the RFE was received 5/3/2010. The processing of the case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that the above case is not yet ready for a decision. UNTIL THE REQUIRED INVESTIGATION OF UR CONSTITUENTS BACKGROUND IS CCOMPLETED. we can not move forward on this case.we will make every effort to make decision on this case as soon as the investigation is completed.

IF YOUR CONSTITUENT DOES NOT RECEIVE DECISION OR OTHER NOTICE OF ACTION FROM US WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THIS E MAIL, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AGAIN.

now WTH should i make out of this?

IF MY BACK GROUND CHECK WAS NEVER COMPLETED THEN HOW AND WHY SOMEONE worked on my case in feb 2010??? and then instead of making decision he issued me RFE. i dont think they touch ur file until back ground checks are completed. i am in a shock.

i am really down.

During my citizenship my back ground check was pending for more than 3 years. until i filed lawsuit against USCIS in federal court. Writ of Mandamus.

and my checks were completed before the hearing date, in one month.

BY the way for I 130 petition what kind of background checks we are talking about????

and as all of you know here... I 130 cases sometimes get approved in less then a month for some, but usualy 3 months.

Does USCIS picks random cases for these checks???? OR if these checks are for everyone then how come i dont see atleast ONE member whos petition is ddelayed like mine?????? whats going on with my case?

and as for my marriage... I have a lil girl who was born last year and i went back home in january 2010 to get her citizenship paperwork thru consulate, and everything went fine. she has CRBA and US passport. I even sent in my daughters paperwork along my RFE to prove bonafide marriage.

I think i should abandoned my US residency and move back home with my wife and daughter. uscis has made me look 20 years older than i am.

I don't know, haven't heard of this before.

Waiter--I'm so sorry you're still waiting! This is horrid. Have you made an INFOPass? What about your Congressman? Senator? 9 months is ridiculous.

Hang in there. Could you move to Pakistan for a while to be with your family during the processing?

hey sachinky. how is going.

Yah this is driving me crazy. the reply i got was from congressman's office. that i posted earlier. things are not looking good for me.

last january i was in pakistan with my family. and came back in feb.

how about DCF??? i will have to move back for six months before i can go for DCF, but that would be almost impossible for me. I cant afford to miss even one paycheck. I have to support my family.

[tokyo.lovers 6]

i hear you on the money front. i am barely scraping by. the ticket prices to bring my man here are really gonna hurt.

[bextavaz 4]

Hurry Up and Wait.

The simple fact, and unfortunate for some to accept, is that the US of A does screen ( and for good reasons ) more deeply visa petitions from certain countries. Pakistan and some countries in the middle east are on the list. I understand it's hard to swallow the punches but good people get approved in time. Patience will pay off.

For the safety of this country the immigration process isn't for everyone, and everyone should not be approved. And it's easy to think/assume that the process is aimed against an individual when it's not. I would advise against moving to live with family at this time and avoid having to go through another hoop; proving domocile in the U.S. Some people have chosen be with those they love to face great difficult in proving domocile.

Waiter, hang in there and don't take this process personally. It's not designed to make your life difficult or punish you personally. Human beings are in general a bit skewed in our thinking and the USA comprises of people that tend to think this way about several nations of which yours is one.

Good luck
