Cip, I think USCIS likes SqdnGuns

When he waits nothing, when he gets everything at one shot

Finger crossed and hope that we will be next.

Hi, I'm new to the site.

My husband (Albanian) was picked up by ICE on June 29th (his voluntary departure date was March of 2000, before I ever met him, so I couldn't help him with his illegal status problems).

We own a home and a restaurant and have two kids, 1 and 2.5 yrs old.

I'm a natural born US citizen. I'm working on my PhD in Biochemistry. I make $1600 a month.

We had to sell the restaurant. I had to leave the kids in Albania with him (can't afford daycare and better to stay with Baba than a babysitter).

Now I'm sitting in our 3 bedroom home alone. I put all the kids toys away where I couldn't see them.

I received the NOA1 on July 27th.

Now begins the waiting game.

It's going to be a long time before my family can come home.

I am so frustrated with this government.

They've known where he is this whole time. The house and restaurant are in his name and he pays his taxes in his name. Removing him seems so pointless. We employed 10 people.

They should fix the border issues so more ppl don't come in BEFORE they focus on deporting contributing members of the community.

Plus, I'm pretty sure I could dig a hole from Canada to the US with a teaspoon before the paper work clears.

Thanks for listening to my rant,

Alison

Welcome Alison to July group! Oh yes, nice story - had patience to read it

Good morning Loto,

I do not understand what is happening at CSC Seems to me that they increase the time betwen NOA1 and NOA 2 constantly. I have seen also some posts that say is because the Labor Day but is strange because are 5 days left until then. Are so many cases at CSC ?

Welcome Alison,

Good luck in this long process. We all July fillers are in the same boat hopping to have a fast process. Is a long process but considering the fact that you will be with the loved ones(family)for the rest of your life .........

Hey Cip,

Don't worry about that swing in CSC. Most people do not fill their timeline properly here. There is a little lag, but has NOT gone much. CSC has more number of I-130 applications (received and pending) and I think they have more adjudicators to process them as well.

Loto

Hey, I saw your nice family pic! Great!

your husband will need to file a waiver, after the interview. prepare the waiver now, have it in his hand on interview day, so he can start the waiver process immediately after the interview, same day.

suggest you visit http://www.immigrate2us.net and study, study, study. Being Deported Sucks, but (as you'll learn) is possible to get the waiver done, when submitted 'at the right time'.

Good Luck !

We've begun preliminary waiver preparation already. I expect the waiver to take an additional 4-6 months.

Maybe my family will be home in 16-18 months.

My lawyer seems fairly confident with our ability to prove "extreme hardship" (I am not attempting waiver preparation myself).

I filed at the end of June, and my priority date is June 28th, but my NOA1 is dated July 2nd. You can add me to the group if you wish I guess I would be July
