That's the standard "it's expired" letter.

That's the standard "it's expired" letter.

Yes, I know. However....it was my understanding that the 'expired' letter was standard for California but that usually Vermont was reviewing the cases. So I was surprised to get the expired letter from Vermont.

Oh, I don't know. Does it matter?

[Miss smarty pants 84]

Oh, I don't know. Does it matter?

No. Because we got married last week. So it doesn't matter now to me. But the information may be helpful to others.

I will be filing my CR-1 soon. And definitely definitely sending as much proof as I can given that the consuate had refused to look at it before.

Talk about timing Atleast you don't have to deal with the NOIR/NOID...congrats on the marriage!!

Our case is STILL in Morocco, so we figuring we would keep trying to fight it...maybe we will get lucky & they will reopen it. I know...i'm dreaming, but can't hurt to try. What can they do? Send the case back?

I can't believe it is STILL there. Wow. I don't know what I would do in that case. I know you and your Congress-person have been in contact already. I don't know what else you could possibly do.

March isn't all that far off. You will be together soon. He seems very nice, too. Nabil and I will try to make it to your wedding.

Congrats on the marriage! How did the whole process go? I hope it went smoothly for you!

Thank you. It was a very long process and required much more patience than I am accustomed to having. They definitely do not make it easy for foreigners to get married there. But in the end...it is done and we both are happy now just hoping we can be together forever soon as marriage is intended to be (in the same home and not across the oceans).

I'm sorry that you guys are having a tough immigration journey, but CONGRATULATIONS on the marriage!

Thank you. We will make it through. I honestly believe this process has made us stronger, as hard as it is.

My fiance is in Fes. He had his interview April 26,2010. Our application was sent back for further review. Contacted the Senator not much help there. Was told it could take 120 days or more form the date (july 12) which the service center (vermont) received it before we hear anything but by then the application will have expired. Was told I should gather all my evidence, get all my friends and family and his friends and family to write statesments and send it all to the service center along with a rebuttle letter. I aslo was told just go back and marry there and File the CR-1..... The whole process is nuts...... His sister and brother went through the same process with no problems but they both married nonmuslim white americans ( sisters hubby converted just to marry her, but doesn't practice) and he only knew her for a couple of months.... We decided to go with both suggestions Hopefully the first will work and we won't have to spend the money for me to go back ( I have already been twice in the last 10 months)
