Have you both came up with a "just in case plan"? I know if I don't hear anything or get stuck for RFE then I'm moving to her in Dec.. I plan to be a seasonal worker in the US and quit paying taxes!! Haha

As much as I would love to move to Costa Rica, I can't because I have children here. I couldn't leave without them and I can't take them with me. It wouldn't go over well with their father..

My "just in case" plan is probably going to be camping out at the congressmen office. But seriously...... We never even thought of a "plan 2" because anything less than my husband being with me here in the US is unacceptable..

I'm sure you're joking, but you can't get out of taxes. I work full time in Costa Rica and still had to submit my taxes to the USA. I didn't have to pay anything (because I make so little) but I still had to file.

Im about 113 days waiting for noa2. End of july will be 121 days and the waiting sucks. I kinda give up and my plan B is to move to her country as it was my birthcountry also.

These beaurocrats are really slow. Im sure they dont do a whole lot at work and they all work there forever until retirement and can never get fired. Thats our tax dollars at work too....

I hope none of us have to use "Plan B"!!! And I will figure out a way not to pay taxes after waiting on my own government I may just tell them my processing time to pay taxes is 5-6 months but I'm back logged so you might not receive for 1 year.. Haha

There is no plan B for us. We'll wait as long as it takes to get through this process (just maybe not very patiently!)

SLOW AT WORK = Jen calling USCIS... hahaha

There was a 100+ minute wait... so I entered my number.. waiting for the call back.

Why don't they just let the people who answer the phones the first time have access to all of the info ? It really would save us all time. I know I'm not the only person who realizes this.... you'd think they would streamline the process.

I'm trying my best not to call.. I'm so slow at work right now! Let me know what they say please

[rickkant 21]

Keep us updated on what they say. After hearing that 12 month processing non sense it has made me furious. I wanna call too but I know I will get into bad conversation.

After hearing all this about uscis. I think they should be paid on the number of files they process

I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's worth filing a K3 now, or would that also take a year and possibly slow down the process even more?

I am ready to kill myself because I cancelled our fiancee visa because I thought getting married would be faster! (fiancee visa would have been approved a couple of weeks ago)

I am glad you have kept your sense of humour about this whole thing. This 12 month thing has me really freaking out, I don't mind admitting!!!

When I first thought about it I looked at both..

Fiancé visa .. 6 months

Wife visa .. 8 months

I saw price and paperwork and thought ohh the wife visa easier and cheaper also it only 2 more month wait no big deal..

Now I can really go crazy hearing 12 months, 14 months, maybe 2 years for us to be able to live together..

If you don't laugh then you got to cry.. I have just about decided sell everything here and just move to her.. I want children and start my family so much.. It all I dream about every day

[LoveMyTico 999]

OK, I just got a call back from someone who OBVIOUSLY hates her job, I asked if my case has been transferred yet since its been 3 months. She stated ( and not very nicely) WE HAVE 6 MONTHS TO DECIDE ON YOUR CASE ! I said, yes ma'am, I understand that but could you tell me where the case is right now. She said, ITS NOT AT THE FIELD OFFICE. and again stated the 6 month thing.. So I asked, " does that mean you have 6 months to transfer it or that you have 6 months for the whole process?" she said WE HAVE 6 MONTHS TO DECIDE ON YOUR CASE ALTOGETHER. And for anyone who knows me personally, they know I would never put up with that attitute in person.. BUT I had to bite my tongue more than once.. UGHHH..

K-3's are pretty much done and overwith. If you file one, it will join up with the I-130 and that could slow things down. they will get approved together and then the K-3 will get cancelled. Waste of time these days. Its free to file, but IMO, might slow things down .
