Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

What should I do about this K3 business??

In the NVC thread, LoveMyTico has also filed a K-3 with I-130. I think she's pursuing the K-3 as that got a case # first.... I recommend asking her what she's done about her I-130.

5/21/2016: Mailed I-751 packet to CSC

5/23/2016: NOA1

7/29/2016: Biometrics Appointment

11/22/2016: I-751 Approved!

Congratulations!!! :dancing:

You were the first VJ September filer to be transferred so it's not before time. We were the second so hopefully not far behind you.

Only a gooner can truly appreciate the feeling of being at the top for so long then watching everyone else sail past me to the NVC.

Word of advice to future filers - don't ever let Arsene Wenger fill out your I-130. Big mistake! :)

:rofl: Oh how my hubby would appreciate this! lol Still grasping onto 4th place!

CONGRATS to all recent approvals and cases received by NVC! :)

So there's this Twitter event going on right now with the Secretary of the Dept of Homeland Security answering questions #DHSchat

He's not answering any questions about the backlog. Or why is the K-3 visa still offered. Or why USCIS can't process petitions in order. Or what's the point of USCIS when we have to repeat the process at NVC! Shocked.

Any answers being given are just blanket slogan statements basically. Don't ask me why I expected more, but this is what we're working with :/

Hang in there, everyone. I really hope you get approvals soon.

Now you don't really think he will take those questions. That would require a real answer.
