wow.gif you have been thru so much, i about cried when i read your stuff.

Honestly, I can not believe that MY GOVERNMENT IS KEEPING MY HUSBAND FROM ME! I can not help but to feel this way.

It seems to me, the USCIS folks are playing GOD and they like it! They are suposed to work for us.

I totally am so ashamed of the United States for treating people in such a manner. helpsmilie.gif

Hi all,

Usually it is the people that have been through the same case are the people that can give good advice. Please, if you have never been thru it don't argue much.

My wife recently joined me on a K3 visa and our green card interview is next week September 2013, K3 visa applies to those who are already married and wants to speed up the process to be together. The USCIS won't lead you to the wrong thing nor lie to you, yes it a little more expensive but a faster way to bring your spouse.

Some of the members think that K3 visa is obsolete. They are wrong, I have been through the process and my wife is here now, the type of visa on her passport says K3.

Good luck on your journey

after reading the expedite reason, I'm just thinking it wasn't approved because it was a pre-existing condition. They are really strict on expedites. When the government gets their sh!t together and goes back to work, I suggest contacting the senator's office and making a big deal about it. Or getting them to submit the same expedite. Be a monkey on their backs.

I heard through my attorney that the K-3 is going to be processed again, so maybe there is hope..... I am going to file a K-3 today. My I-130 PD is April 12th. which ever comes first is where I'll be. I wish I could live with my husband while this is being processed. It just isn't possible. cray5ol.gif

the whole thing is fluid

with the timelines of approval varying differently, there is no way to tell which of the petitions will go through first

yes many members say the k-3 is dead, but that is not true, it is still a viable petition process regardless of what someone here tells you.

with all the shuffling of the petitions and where they will get approved these days it would not surprise me to see your 129 go through first.

with the expedite, give it another try with uscis, make sure you speak with an IO if you call.

you will need to complete another expedite request at nvc

good luck, yip sometimes a little confusing sad.png but there is a lot of useful information here as well as knowledgeable members, just gotta know who to listen to smile.png

after reading the expedite reason, I'm just thinking it wasn't approved because it was a pre-existing condition.

There is only one reason needed to ask for expediting a case. We just happen to have two reasons. Yes, i have a "pre-existing"

conditon, but i wanted to show the reasons i do not go out and get a second or third job to keep things together until he can arrive.

I am so upset that my husband is not being allowed to join me. Not just to help me pay the mortgage, but fix our home up as winter is approaching fast.

At the rate that this big top adventure is going, i will be homeless anyway. So all the hard work i have done to save our home seems to be in vain.

And believe you me, the USCIS people do not care one iota if this were to happen, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EFFECT THEM PERSONALLY!

If it appears to you readers out there that i am bitter, oh yes.... i truly am, especially from the news i recieved today. Get this:

I contacted our Illinois Senator Mark Kirk last week in despiration. His office called me today and told me that the USCIS office personnel stated to her

that "their 129f is NOT even in expedite status!" when I have the reciept right in front of me stating it is! And so did she, but she justified their incompentence of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Now i am not saying that i am ungrateful for their help, but in all honesty...it was no help.

These USCIS and State dept. people are controlling our lives, and that is what really upsets me. Who do they think they are? They have had 3 full months to mull

over our papers in "expedite" status. And not even one incling of courtsey to respond or give a time frame on the expedite process. QUOTE UNQUOTE: " YOU WILL RECIEVE A DECISION OR NOTICE OF FURTHER ACTION SHORTLY."

I guess Chanel 4 in St. Louis is my only hope. I find the more you expose unjust treatment, things will start to change. Hey look what whistleblowers

have done here in Illinois: OUR LAST 4 of 7 GOVERNORS WENT TO PRISON because they were all called out! hhahahaha there's one to put in your trivia hat. rofl.gif

...AND while i'm still ranting....I LOATHE BEING CALLED A CUSTOMER! i am NOT a customer, i am a U.S.born citizen who abides the law. My husband is a good man too, who abides all laws especially God's. If i ever treated a customer like i have been treated, unemployment would be the line i'd be standing in.

Pffffffff, i love my tax dollars so hard at work, it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

I would love my husband to come and help me pay the mortgage too...My mortgage is killing me.

I had this conversation with my immigration attorney the other day. I'd post it but last night I was told to "calm down" by someone on VJ because they see my posts all over... So a BIG F U to that member....

It does suck being a USC and being treated as if you don't "count"

lol, that's great, i like you! Honestly, idk if they "see" what i post about their lameness,

They are the ones who set up their own "get up set up" !!! I think their system needs a re-vampin'

because the one they have now is not working very well. I don't see how some people who aren't married

yet are being approved and some of the ones who are married must wait. Arent' married people suposed

to have presidence over those kind of cases? (If one spouse is a U.S. Citizen i am meaning) I thought

there was special law for this...anyone?
