I-751 Waiver Filers Timeline

mbuk · April 15, 2011

Rather than starting a new topic, I'd like to post in this forum since my approval was based upon an I-751 waiver.

It's a bittersweet day for me.

Of course, I'm grateful to remain in the US and although I contribute my skills and experience to the US, its development and economy, it's still a privilege to be in another country. I really didn't worry too much since it was a genuine case but like almost all of us in this particular area, we're here because we got divorced. This is the really sad part today. All of the hard work, hopes and dreams, endless traveling back and forth eventually came to this.I always felt that we could work something out but it wasn't to be. Recounting and reviewing the last 6 years is not how I thought the story would end.

I urge all of you to celebrate differences, not use them as weapons and communicate. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be but I'd dare bet that any cultural differences between USC's and native countries can be overcome with some hard work and effort. 'JustMeNow', I see you're the only one who filed a death waiver - this is so sad to me and I hope you get by.

Fortunately, there are many success stories on these forums and I'm happy for those that keep it together. This is more about my catharsis but if anyone reads this whose having issues then try your best to work it out.

Congratulations in advance to those who have interviews coming soon.

Hi Charlie84,

My interview went well - I didn't get an answer on the day but received my approval letter today. The date on the approval letter was dated 4/12 so the immigration officer was exercising caution. She was a very pleasant lady who was sympathetic to my situation.

Thanks and good luck to everyone else about to be interviewed.

Regards,

mbuk

Congratulations mbuk!

Please let us know if you dont mind sharing.

The IO asked questions of how we met and prior to going into more detail said 'In a nutshell, tell me why you got divorced'. The demeanor of the IO was very polite and I'd say engage with the IO as much as possible. Since we have nothing to hide, you're explaining what happened so don't think of it as a trap. They just want to hear your story and if it matches up with the evidence. I was in there for no longer than 15 minutes (after a 1 hour wait) but mine went very smoothly. Their backlog meant the IO did not read over my case but then talked to me to help fill in the blanks. Therefore, the approval date was strictly the same day but I didn't receive the letter until 2 days later.

Good luck with your interview Nimaan

Thanks,

mbuk

Nimaan · April 19, 2011

Thank you MBUK for sharing you interview experience.

Charlie84 Good luck today!

Deep2009 · April 19, 2011

I have a unique situation for my friend. He is filling for his wife removing conditions in July 2011.

He has just filled bankruptcy, What is the impact on her "removing conditions"?

OR is there any impact on her petition?

PLEASE RESPOND....

PLEASE RESPOND....

Removing conditions has everything to do with a bona fide marriage, proving to immigration you have a real marriage with documentation to support financial mingling and has nothing to do with finances such as bankruptcy.

Hey guys

Got my NOA 1. Has the EAC number on it but can not be added to my case portfolio on USCIS.gov.. Is that normal?

champi · April 19, 2011

Hey guys

Got my NOA 1. Has the EAC number on it but can not be added to my case portfolio on USCIS.gov.. Is that normal?

Yes, normal. Based on comments from other VJ members, you use the receipt # on the biometrics appointment letter to track the case online.

resilient · April 24, 2011

True - only the number on biometrics letter can be added online, the first NOA # doesn't work. They added a new feature since I last had a case with them (filing for conditional gc, of course) - now besides email alert you can also put two notification alerts when you add your case online: a text message notification.

But even though I ticked to receive both, I still check my case to see if it was touched 1-2 times a week.

Yes, normal. Based on comments from other VJ members, you use the receipt # on the biometrics appointment letter to track the case online.

resilient · April 24, 2011

I know how you feel mbuk. For most of us here our situation ended up not being a celebration as expected in the beginning.

It is a a non-pleasant roller coaster to be on. I still feel the loss and probably won't ever truly get over what happened... but life must go on and I am trying to move on. I have faith things will get better. I wish this process went through faster as it's torturing remembering my ex-relationship, this lingering thing makes it harder to forget.

Congrats on your approval anyway and I wish you success.

Rather than starting a new topic, I'd like to post in this forum since my approval was based upon an I-751 waiver.

It's a bittersweet day for me.

Of course, I'm grateful to remain in the US and although I contribute my skills and experience to the US, its development and economy, it's still a privilege to be in another country.

'JustMeNow', I see you're the only one who filed a death waiver - this is so sad to me and I hope you get by.
