Hi everyone,

Glad to see everyone is moving along great. I'm counting down the days until I head on out to Mexico and bring back my Juan with me.

Do we have any others headed to Juarez soon? I think the rest of our Juarez buddies are waiting for NOA2 right?

Does anyone know what happened to Jamie or Louisa? It's sad they don't post anything on VJ anymore, . I'm thinking Jamie really did go live with Oliverio in Mexico. Does anyone have any news of either of them?

Yes, we're still anxiously awaiting for our NOA2. I'm hoping we get it soon.

Hi everyone. I am sorry I pretty much never post. I am still here though. It will be months before I am back with Alberto so I'm not going anywhere. We are one of the couples that had to file a waiver. Since we filed our waiver almost exactly two weeks before the pilot program began for the waiver in Juarez it could be ten more months before we get an approval and he can come home. Just out of curiosity is ther anyone besides Kitkat and myself who are having to file waiver?

I am so happy to see all the approvals that have been going on. I also see there are new couples going through the process. Good luck to everyone.

The number for NVC is 603-334-0700. You can also email them at NVCInquiry@state.gov

It takes about two or three weeks for it to be sent on to Juarez (as long as there isn't a name hit) I would email or call about 10 days after the Service Center sent it to the NVC

Hello Louisa! It's so good to have news from you!

I'm sorry to hear that you had to file a waiver, hopefully the wait won't be too long

Nos aprobaron!!!!! Chiiiiiiiiddoooooo!!!!! Estaba yo sudando!

Now I can work on the next part....question though. I saw that after the NOA2, they request another letter of intent. Is that just from me as the petitioner or do I also need one from my fiance as well?

[GabachaYucateca 0]

I'm reading up on everyone's timelines after receipt of the NOA2 and it seems like a VERY short period of time in most cases. What is the time limit on Packet four? Say for example that everything goes as it did for many of you, and I receive packet 4 in early May. Can we wait until July or August to go to Juarez? I have to meet him there as he wouldn't be able to navegate Juarez alone, and I need to bring him the rest of the paperwork, but July would be the earliest I could get away. Is that okay?

Congrats on your speedy approval!!!

It's up to you when he goes to the interview once you have received the fiance packet with the offical "appointment" letter. But the approved petition is only good for four months - the expiration date should be on the NOA2. You can ask the consulate to extend it and you need to do in writing (email). You will get one fiance packet, which will be sent to both of you. You do need two new letters of intent with the current date and original signatures, but sometimes they don't even ask for it or take it. If you can, I would try to get to CDJ before July even with an extension, just to be on the safe side. Buena suerte!

Thanks, kitkat!

Well, we could do the end of June then! Four months from March 7 is the first week in July, but even asking for an extension of a month makes me nervous. Why, I don't know, but it does.

I'm going to be filing a 601 waiver and a 212 waiver...i just sent the I-129F at the end of February, so I won't be going to CDJ for a few more months. Sorry to hear that you missed the pilot program...I hope it speeds everything up and your wait time is greatly reduced.

did you use a lawyer to file your waiver?

No I did not use a lawyer. If you are not a member of immigrate2us.net already I really would suggest you go there and look around. They have a lot of wonderful advice and examples of approved and denied hardship letters. I posted a copy of my hardship letter there and received some really good advice. I then made ALOT of changes before I got all my of evidence together and then turned it in.

Good luck on your waiver.
