hello everyone!

just a question. do you think it will slow down the process if my husband has a previous marriage and that was 7 years ago? will it affect the approval of the petition? he has also 3 kids that are dependent to him but the two live with their mom and the other is with him. also, i find out that he previously applied for a fiance visa before for his x but that was 2 years ago.

i understand our situation is kinda complicated. but i want to think positive. this long wait is really tough.

Called USCIS today to file a service request as today is the 5 month 1 day mark. I was told that VSC is still working on May and it will be about 20 days till they get to my petition, PD June 4th. So

Congrats Cesar & Cata!! Hopefully we will be hearing something in the next few days. Our PD is June 4th!! But when I called they wouldn't let me put a SR in as they were supposedly 20 days behin

DCF is Direct Consular Filing. Where the USC lives abroad and the I-130 is therefore sent to the USCIS field office at the local consulate. Much MUCH quicker than filing to USCIS in the States.

Well, I'm not a lawyer but I think any petition filed is inactive with more than a year, USCIS will consider abandon and case will be terminated. I don't foresee any issues that would delay your process of getting approve, but be prepare for many questions in the interview with consular.

thank you for the reply. my husband already told me about the reasons and been honest with me about his past but i'll ask him again. he's actually planning to go with me during the interview but i don't know if it's allowed if not required by the embassy.

lemajeca, the previous marriage will not affect the petition at all (trust me I had two of those and just got approved today). What could slow it down is that he previously applied for a visa and they will have to check to see what happened with that.

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

thank you for your reply. what you've said helps a lot. my husband said he just applied for the petition but didn't continue the process. besides it was more than two years ago.

many things are going into my mind. i think i just have to relax and trust our lawyer. can't wait to see any june 20th and beyond, filers to get approved. my husband is going through some health problems and it makes me feel sad that i'm here can't do anything personal to take care of him. I think i'll leave it all to the Almighty.

thank you guys for all your replies.

Don't forget they also updated their processing time too. It was 6.2, and now raising to 7 months for VSC and 6.8 for CSC.

Anyone with PD within 2 weeks of June 4 you're probably in luck, for those filed at later date, be prepare for a long haul. :angry: And :no: it's NOT A JOKE.

7 months! HAHA!! I wish!! :)

Those processing times are irrelevant. They only show the average over the past x number of months. It will have no bearing on reality.

The only numbers that matter are the ones on the spreadsheet, and even those are only updated once a month.

Okay, we got August and September approval.

State of Maine got a snow storm approaching this weekend.

Good enough reason not to be there just yet.

Were they VSC filers ???.
