Why was it denied?

It was my fault. I forgot to include some information (ie: G-325a). Instead of sending an RFE, they flat-out denied it. I think it's partly because I got my senator involved. I can see some pudgy adjudicator getting the call and being like "welp that was annoying...DENIED".

However, when I made the thread about it on here, some VJ members went to great lengths to make sure I knew that it was my #### up and I shouldn't be upset. Come on guys, I just wanted some hugs and they gave me daggers. :angry: Whatever though, we spent ten months apart last year. What's a few more to slowly strain our relationship?!

I love a guy who looks like he could be on Criminal Minds as either an agent or a killer.

My comment wasn’t meant as a dig at anyone. I think the visa process is slow and painful, and I understand the need to vent sometimes. However, you’ve posted many times about how much you hate Den

When you get your NOA2, I will be saying “Finally!" right along with you! I really feel for you guys. It does make me wonder at times if part of the delays is to try and weed out the fake relation

Was it the thread that a long time poster here said it was more forgiveable for a spouse to cheat than forget the G-325a?

I seriously facepalmed on that one. People are human and make mistakes. (F)

I happen to wonder how people correctly assemble the package without VJ, it is really hard and not easily outlined by USCIS. I'm still not sure I understand what to include in the DS230 package even after reading the guides and posts on it.

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.

I would have been in a murderous rage if someone said that to me!

I'm definitely thankful for VJ and the guides/wikis and some of the friendships I've made, but some of the members here are less than pleasant.

I love a guy who looks like he could be on Criminal Minds as either an agent or a killer.

As a spin off from the other thread...I thought we could talk about, well, being jaded and how frustrating this random processing times are rather than grumble in the other threads. :star:

Also, cookies are appreciated. ;)

Applied in Nov 2012

Yeah! Anger!!! RAWR RAWR RAWR

I'm angry because I could have put my Canadian address and been approved by now.

Everyone's advice was incorrect.

:angry:

My spouse is in the US. I don't understand why you think it would be different if you had put a Canadian address on. You and I had almost the same timing for submission.

ETA: I have nothing to be angry about as I am one of the "lucky ones" so I'm sorry to hijack the post for a moment, I just know KDH and I were close filers and it seems completely random that we're so far apart in the process.
