May 2013 filers

[Tee Wlkr 4]

Thank you so much! Your prayers helps a lot. I have met some K1 applicants during my interview yesterday and I was sad because most of them cant contact their family and friends. Most are worried and wanted to go but no flights available. The good news is those applicant came from Tacloban Leyte were processed first.

I would like also to thank everyone here for all the helps and encouragements. I passed the interview and now waiting for my Visa. Guys have faith your time will come too.

Thank you and God bless to all!

Congratulations OF and LG! You must be over the moon! Also glad to hear that your loved ones are safe. Have a great trip to the US when you go, and enjoy being with your love

Woo hoo.. I'm cleaning out my house too.. keeping the major things just in case I get a denial, so just the usual spring cleaning, but deeper LOL.

2nd Dec is not far away.. So happy for you.

Update from me. I finally have medical results as of yesterday, my fiances/co-sponsors paperwork is currently in route which should be arriving any day now. I have certified copies of courts orders (child custody) and I have assembled my part of packet 3 to send back to Sydney as soon as the I-134 arrive. And if the Australian timelines are going as they were 2 weeks ago, I should have interview end of this month or first week of Dec. I have found some flights which will save me $1500 and if everything goes to plan, I'll be flying out 19th Dec (no tickets booked yet).

Thanks Ozgirl

Yep the cleaning is not fun. I realised I am a hoarder and need help lol. I can't seem to let go of stuff. That have not even seen day light in donkey's years. I have so many bags going to charity. My sister is bringing some of her friends round for shopping at my flat at the weekend .

Dec is round the corner too. Christmas with your loved ones. That's great yours is moving along too. As for tickets good you found something cheaper. Every little helps.

What did you all pay for the courrier fee to get your visa delivered especially if you are in Brazil but really we just want an idea. I know it's probably going to be different everywhere but my fiancee isn't sure how much money to take. He doesn't want to carry alot of unnecessary money if possible because he has to commute through a part of town that he said is not safe. Since he intends to leave and be there very early, he told me to ask around and see what people paid?

He did finally receive packet 4 today! :-) We are ready to go! If all goes as planned, he will have his last students on December 5 and fly out on December 6! Now we pray!

Hello Everybody, tomorrow will make it a month since we got NOA2 but we had not receive the hard copy nor a case number. Can someone kindly describe how a hard copy NOA2 look like? My fiancée did receive a paper in the mail saying we have been approved could that be the hard copy? It's just a single sheet of paper so I doubt if that is the hard copy. She tried calling DoS all the time and they will keep her waiting on the line for more than 20 mins till she will hang up. Please guys what do you suggest we do? Is really frustrating just waiting and not knowing what's happening to our file?

Hi gods rule. The paper you received is only one sheet and that's is the noa2 hard copy that your fiancé needs to send to you along with the affidavits of support form the i134 and the relevant supporting documents e.g tax return, letter from employer showing how much your fiancé earns. Personally here in London when I did my interview I was asked to provide either or so I gave the letter from employer instead of tax return.

Your fiancé will relieve another letter once NVC has sent your file to your consulate saying they sent your file to Nigeria.

[godsrule 7]

Thank you very much Nurselling for the response. I was really worried. I am glad that piece of paper is the hard copy. Is NVC that's taking for ever to notify us that they had sent our file to the consular. Please if we call DOS and get the case number do we still have to wait to receive any more packet from NVC or we just proceed in calling our consulate here in Nigeria to book an appointment for an interview and medicals. I am so far behind the forum is really quite these days. I was in vermont then transferred to Texas I thought it doesn't take this long to NVC if you are from Texas unlike california? How are you getting prepared to leave UK? I guess you will miss it though. Take care on your trip.

Hey May filers! Just giving the update that our visa was approved at the interview today! I was so happy, and tense I had to go for a run when I got home, lol. It's still really surreal. We are very very thankful that our case only took just over 3 months from the time we filed, although it felt like so much longer. Thanks again to you guys for all your help and support. I wish everyone still waiting all the best. You'll be there before you know it.

Hi godsrule I will be leaving 2nd December so about 2 weeks or so left here. Just been cleaning and packing.

Regarding your file you don't need to do anything till your file gets to Nigeria. The embassy should contact you about Ackerman 3 in Nigeria and give you instructions as t what your ext step is. The thing is the forms keep changing so best to hear from the nigerian consulate so you will know what you need to do next. You will need a medical and police certificate for every country you have lived in for more than 6 months. Make sure you have your birth certificate ready and ask your fiancé to send you the i134 affidavits of support plus her tax returns etc just so your ready when you hear from the consulate.

[Vanitas 310]

Update for me:

Got Police Certificate on Weds 14th - No Trace (so all clear).

Medical's booked for 22nd (Fri next week).

E-Readiness Form sent on 12th and logged in CEAC on 14th. So now it looks like it's just waiting for the medical results and then waiting for my interview date.

That said, I'll be off to the States on the 24th for a week and a half to see Amy's family for Thanksgiving.

[sjs87 27]

Well VJers, I am happy and sad. I feel silly even feeling a little bit negative but such as life.

GOOD NEWS: We finally got our interview date today!

BAD NEWS: It's not until January 23, 2014!!

Apparently the embassy in Vancouver is really backlogged which is why our date is so far away. Obviously I am quite upset with this as our goal was to be together for Christmas and that isn't going to happen. I know that this will all end in a happy result, but it's hard to feel happy knowing we are still far from done.

On the upside, at least we know what we are facing, but it's still hard!
