Ogling your pots over the stove and hindering ever attaining 212 degree F can cause your food to come out mushy and overcooked by the time it does boil. Thus you won't be impressing your wife with your fabulous cooking abilities!

All goes well here, still a bit of time. I suspect this time we won't have any outside interference but I'm not taking any chances and not mentioning dates.

@Looky. Funny!! I agree, is better and safest not to metnion dates/time frames or other items that may reveal info wiser to "keep under one's hat." Too many suspicious events to take any chances. Importantly: glad to her all is going well! I am rooting strongly for you and your fiancee!! -RK

Best wishes Looky, and don't worry about no posting dates. In your case is safer this way. I'll keep you both in my prayers! :thumbs:

Thanks RK and Geor! One of Loreta's friends came to visit her and she is going to go to the embassy with her.

Just as we thought we would be able to forget that man, we realized that Loreta's police reports were missing and the only one that could have taken them was that guy. First thing I did was email that embassy lady, and all she said was we need to get them and she also said if Loreta knew where the man was maybe we could get them back. I told he no way, Loreta would be scared to see this guy again and I wouldn't want her too go near him! I just told her we would just order the reports again.

Oh mann thats when we had another big scare. Loreta went to the police station to request a report, and instead they took her passport, said there was some sort of complaint against her and that she would have to sign something the next day stating that she would not leave the country. They said they needed to do some checking and they don't know how long it would take! Loreta said she needs the passport as she has an interview with the US Embassy, and they said they will contact the embassy. They called her a bit later saying, it was ALL A MISTAKE and she could come and get her passport! It definitely got her in a stressed and worried mood and worried me for a little bit when we were on the phone and then her other phone rang from the station giving her the good news!

So we're both in our happy moods again and I'm still confident that everything will work out fine, just that she will have to do the interview and then get the police reports to the embassy when they come in.

Hope all is going well for you Geor, and the same for you RK!

Well Rk and Geor,

The only good thing to report is that we've got a new interview again. This time I am going there and make sure she gets this done. This last one got screwed up again only this time she had so many nigtmares and stress overloading her that she was not able to get much sleep at all the night before the interview and was in no condition to do the interview.

The embassy lady gave us another one near a date I asked for, so that I could get there a couple days before the interview and make sure she is calm and comfortable for the interview. So the saga continues but this time I am going to make sure its going to come to a nice ending. Actually we are taking her dog to America also so most airlines won't carry pets until September cause its way too risky for them to carry pets when the ground temperatures are so hot at the arrival airport.

Geor congratulations on your future baby boy! Hope all is well RK, and everybody else.

[Dante & Geor 36]

So, Looky any news yet????

So, Looky any news yet????

Hi Georgina, we had to get it rescheduled. No matter, we found out her police reports were stolen from her by that man. So it takes a month or so to get the new reports. The interview is in September, and I will go over there several days before and go to the embassy with her. I think that incident with that man took a toll on her, but I'm going to make sure she stays calm and knows there's nothing to worry about.

Hi Looky .. good to hear you have a plan in place and making progress. We sent a second petition in May finally .. didn't get a response so chased it a few weeks later. In the meantime the check has been banked and still no NOA1 or message though we sent the G1145 requesting those messages.

He has tried calling several times and gets nowhere ... just told to call back in 15 days or whatever. Then went to the local USCIS office a few days ago. There is only the secured area where the interviews take place and you cant get in without an appointment. There haven't been any Infopass times online since then, but I havent heard what has happened in the last 24hrs so can only hope something has happened.

I've noticed that there have been others who sent in their applications around that date that have similar problems so it seems it was a bad time. So all we have is the banked check and a reference number but no 'A' number.

What a ridiculous process!

Hope you and Loreta are both well otherwise.

Wow Andie! I was starting to wonder if you were going to get the petition off. Congratulations! Its been a while so I don't remember what our times were for NOA1 way back when. I just remember VSC and CSC cycled from being very slow to relatively fast. Yes its a crazy process and they don't have enough workers. I never found infopass helpful at all, and all they generally do is look it up on their computers just as the service center would. Its good your check was cashed, so you know your petition is sitting in a pile on someones office. Hopefully you'll hear something soon.

Oh Loreta is fine and happy, we didn't know how much time that investigation was going to take so we had mades plans, so she had already made some plans to visit friends and go visit her mother in Latvia. The original plan was for me to go to Latvia at the same time and meet her there. But now that we have an interview date I will just go meet her a little before and after interview time. I got so sick of the Cyprus temporary sim card she had as a way of talking so I got her a international sim card so we have been able to talk to each other practically everyday for at least the last 3 months. That makes so much difference and makes us so much happier!

Good luck to you and Kevin and hope it all goes well! Let us know when you get that NOA1!

[Stuart and Thea 95]

I hate that you both are still stuck way back in this part of the process. The whole process sucks, and while some of us are done now with it until our ROC in a few years, it still is bittersweet looking back on it, and how heartbreaking it was to be apart. The fact that you guys haven't kept up with us on the timeline, and are stalled back here so far behind, is just not right. I wish that this is it now for you both, and you get put through in a speedy manner. I know it's USCIS so that's not gonna happen, but I hope you guys can keep some more patience and get there. It's just not fair.

[Andie 147]

Thanks Thea... but great to see you have made it through the trail and can get on with life for a while without thinking about it all.

There is no doubt we made a big mistake initially and left out important documents with our first petition. When we forwarded them a week later with a copy of our NOA1, in our naievity it didn't occur to us the two lots of documents wouldn't meet up. After the 5mths of waiting we were devastated to be denied and after trying to fix it, realised this was never going to happen. In the meantime we talk every day, send each other packages and continue to miss each other terribly. We have had some upheavals over that time, but not related to us wanting to be together - just outside things beyond our control. It is unbelievable that things have gone astray again. After what happened the first time I'm thinking maybe we should restart, but then that delays us 2-3 mths - Its difficult to know whether this petition will resolve itself. We're giving it a little more time and in the process of trying to talk to someone there who can give us some information (if they in fact exist) lol.

Good to hear where you are up to and living in 'normality'.
