It's just an assumption based on the fact that all expedite requests/approvals and other stuff have been coming from/ going to Lee's Summit, not Overland Park.

That, and new cases going straight to Nebraska now.

Wait a minute, so if the cases before us are being transferred and the cases after us are going to Nebraska, where does that leave us??? I have a very bad feeling about this and am ready for a 16 month wait for NOA2. :(

Oh wow, how did it happen? Did you finally get it though?

My hubby called them (USPS or Australian Post- not sure) and they re-routed it to Poland, thank God! prior to that the status already had shown "returned to sender". Whew!

Too funny.. What are the odds?! biggrin.png

I guess the UGGs really wanted to go back home tongue.png

This was the second time my hubby shipped something to me visa USPS Express. The first time it took 3 weeks plus I had to pay ridiculous tax and customs for the Christmas gift (VS stuff... tongue.png ) that came up to like 80% of gift's value. I was soo mad! But- had to pay sad.png

And now this. No more USPS Express Mail. EVER.

smile.png

Blueberry, the package was finally delivered on Monday morning at 7:35am. I was so mad, but glad to get it. It contained the original police certificates that we have to turn in...and those things took 5 weeks to arrive in Europe! I couldn't imagine waiting another 5 weeks. Now they're en route to NVC, so I hope to God that they get there with no further ado.... *praying*

All I can recommend is that when you need to get your police certificates, do it in advance. The NVC stage goes fast. Thing is, those certificates are only good for a limited time...ugh. They tie our hands from being too prepared with these time limitations on stuff...

All our files are probably at Lee's Summit, MO.

So, we might get transferred, too. Also, all new petitions are going straight to Nebraska Service Center. Not to Overland Park anymore...

I'm guessing it means NBC Kansas is not and will not be fully operational any time soon.

I hope you get transferred to California!!! :-)

Wow, really? When did we figure out that Overland Park was just smoke and mirrors? Sigh. This is really frustrating that they're giving us false information if that's the case.

That seems to be the way they do things, k.dlg. It's really frustrating. They didn't even have info. about the California Center and I was so freaked out when I was transferred there originally....

Wait a minute, so if the cases before us are being transferred and the cases after us are going to Nebraska, where does that leave us??? I have a very bad feeling about this and am ready for a 16 month wait for NOA2. sad.png

Hope that's not the case!

Fellow September filers: as I stated on another thread, I have given up all hope for a speedy approval and am leaving the forum temporarily while we wait to receive our NOA2, whenever that will be. After reading about a K-1 filer that got their I-129F approved in less than thirty days in October I am checking out of this process and am throwing up my arms in disgust and have lost all hope for us I-130s. It truly sickens me how fast the K-1s are getting approved and I have come to the firm conclusion the USCIS doesn't care about us and the backlog will only continue to grow. While K-1s are sitting there happy and will be reunited with their loved ones soon, those of us who are actually in a legally binding relationship will continue to suffer and wait with no recourse whatsoever. We're ready for a long 16 month to 2 year wait to be together. And we'll suffer together as a family apart - my wife, our child and I. I'm done, just so bleeping done.

Peace out

Can we use this post I saw for the purpose of a claim stating USCIS is rushing approving K-1 petitions? I mean, why in hell are they allowing people who is not fully committed to a relationship to be with her/his "significant other" rather than us, US. Citizens who are married, fully committed and we are already putting our marriage to a test because of them. I don't know maybe writing some letters to lawyers, senators, even the president for pete's sake. Here is the post and the link. With all due respect to everyone here but this is just F.ing BS.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/464342-need-advice-from-experts-please-comment-asap/

im helping a friend . and i told him that i have a great site where i can possibly ask for opinions and suggestions on what to do. so heres my friends situation.

my friend is a beneficiary from k1. everythign went well, he was able to go to the US, and got married, applied for aos and got his green card after three months. hes working as a nurse and fell in love with another nurse. he is only 6 months in the US ( i know hes stupid, ive told him already so many times) yet he managed to cheat and fell in love with another girl. ,. these are his questions.

can he file for a divorce to his wife even if hes on a 2year green card?

if so, can he marries the new girl after the divorce?

Just because that K-1 relationship was obviously a fraud, doesn't mean every K-1 relationship is not "fully committed". My husband and I were committed before and after our marriage. The difference is we now have a piece of paper telling people that, that cost $65 and took 5 minutes to receive.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

I agree with you, sorry I jumped off my seat so quick but it's frustating to see how this kind of petitions are managed.

I read all of the post on that forum and I THINK they are trying to figure out the best way to commit fraud. The story changed a few times so as to become more favorable. I dunno.

WOW. I wouldn't even attempt to answer that question for a few reasons. 1. It's so unethical, I'd want nothing to do with it. 2. If you are going through the visa process, do you want to be associated with someone who is doing something like this? It may be considered visa-fraud and if you are associated with it and they trace it back to you, could it result in losing your visa approval? Just a thought. Consider and be careful.

Cashm....I think you're wise. I don't think that story sounds favorable anyway...but good point.
