Wow we are almost on the same timeline, even the engagement! Should be interesting to see how quick we get NOA2.

I just got an E mail from USCIS stating that my petition has been approved. Thank you Jesus for your blessings. I feel so overwhelmed at this point.

Argh, I'm so mad at myself, I need to vent. rolleyes.gif

The whole visa process had been going so smoothly for us (NOA1 Oct 2, NOA2 Oct 30, Interview Jan 23, Visa picked up Jan 24, US Entry Jan 30) and we did everything we possibly could to get me to the US quickly and have me apply for AOS ASAP. Our wedding is on Feb 18 and stupid me never bothered to check how long it would take for us to get the marriage certificate. I thought it would take a couple of days, maximum. As it turns out, it may take up to 8 WEEKS. The thought of it taking about 3 months for me to get EAD was already terrifying enough for me, but to add another 2 months to that just because of having to wait for one document... I just can't cray5ol.gif If I had know I would have chosen another county to get married in, but I had never heard about this possibly taking so long!!! I'm so upset about this!

Spoke to a Tier2 officer in regards to the service request I put in on January 24th. He said they sent a letter stating that they still haven't make

a decision. He said I have to wait 30-60 to make that decision! OMG Seriouslyranting33va.gifranting33va.gif

In San Francisco.

I sent them an email and explained our situation. They responded just a few hours later saying we could bring the signed licence back to the County Clerk's office right after the ceremony and we could purchase the certified marriage certificate on the following day! dancin5hr.gif

On their website they state that getting the certificate on an expedited basis is not an option, but I'm sure glad I asked anyway! good.gif It's almost crazy how much luck we've had throughout all of this visa stuff!

I can't even get to the point where I speak to a Tier 2 officer, nor can I put in a request since we're not past normal processing times. Very frustrating :(

Thank you! :D

The POE was smooth. I queued as a visitor, approached the officer handed him my passport, customs form (the blue one you get on the plane), the embassy packet and after a few minutes he asked me to follow him. He showed me some chairs and told me to wait, then he handed my passport and other papers to another officer (there was like section with 3-4 officers that I'm guessing are the ones who process "special" visas...)

Anyway, after 5 minutes or so I was called. The Officer asked me if I was already married, if I had any children, when are we getting married and what type of food I was bringing (because of something I marked on the custom form, I took my cat with me). That was it, he let me through after that. :D

I'm so happy for you, I dream about the day my fiance will arrive in the airport with her K1, always brings tears to my eyes.

You two have a great future, congratulations!

Thank you so much! I am sure you will get to be together soon.
