Did you find a way to expedite? I hope it goes in your favour!

My fiance received his interview letter last Tuesday and his interview is tomorrow morning in London! They didn't give us much time to prepare but we had everything ready over a month ago.

Since my fiance is French and had lived in Spain at one point, we realized we had to get the police certificates and his birth certificate translated before his interview. We were able to find someone that could do it on short notice (but for a large fee) but just wanted to let people know in case they are in a similar situation!

Good luck everyone!

We expedite for financial loss. The guy that talked with my fiance was really polite and sweet. He asked us whats going on and my fiance explain him that I'm unemployed and he is the one that send me money twice a month and support me. And that i live with my mother and my step father and pretty much that they kick me out the house and i wont have where to live the guy said he is sorry and compose the letter for us. He told us to wait 5 days and they will ask us for evidence. I ll provide my government card that shows im unemployed and we ll show them the paypal emails that my fiance send me money.i dont know what else. Hope they will accept it and win some time cause to rent a house i ll need a loooooooot of money... And the crisis here in greece doesn't let me find a job.

Let us know how it goes! I suggest if you can, which I know it might be difficult, get a letter from your family stating you are no longer residing there? Or even type it yourself and ask them to sign it as an affidavit? Anything to help!

I am sorry you are experiencing such hardship during this process, I know it is hard, I am unemployed too and am having hip surgery soon. Keep your head up and think of the future, talk lots with your fiancé, and if you need to vent you can always drop me a line, I don't mind!

I'm sorry to hear for ur surgery! Get well soon!!!!

I ll let u know when we get a reply. As for my family.... They dont care... My step father doesnt want me here and everytime we fight my mother is with his side. My father on the other doesnt talk to me cause my fiance is black lol. And he left my taxes unpaid ..... im shame for both of my parents!!

TSC seems to be processing about (4) non-expedited K-1s of VJ filers a week lately. If you consider that prior adjudicators claim that each file takes about 15 mins that means they spend about an hour a week on non-expedited VJ filers. At DEC 19th, and roughly 40 non-expedited filers in front of us, I figure we have another 2.5 months to wait.

CSC took the influx of expedited filers from the Philippines without a hiccup. TSC got thrown off by more than 4 months!

I think its probably time to start talking to my Congressman before they push the "5 month" thing out to 7 or 8 months.

This kills me. If we had filed at the begging of OCT we almost certainly would have gotten the NOA2 in DEC and she could have been here in FEB or MAR. Now she probably won't be here until NOV at this rate. So much for a JUN wedding.

Got RFE in the mail today.

It is dated with April 21. Which date should I put in my timeline?

Seems like they have lost the whole package?! We need to provide passport photos (both), both G-325A, proof of intent to marry, proof of having met in the past 2 years (unfortunately we don't have many since he does not like to take pictures).

How does that sound to you guys?

An attorney has checked it before the whole packed was sent. A lot of work ahead of us ...

I have a very similar NOA1 date... that would really bite if it took another 2.5 months so i hope you are wrong! But yes it seems like for us december filers they are moving at a trickle and need to open up the faucet already.

I too am thinking about contacting my congressman but i feel like it would be impatient at this point. But i would take a November arrival... no problem... I think i will be lucky to get that with as slow as things are moving in the DR.

congrats on the RFE... thats actually a good sign and as soon as you get it back to them its likely that they will have it done within a couple of weeks. You should put the date that it says on your RFE form, April 21st, on your timeline.

Good luck and the ball is in your court now until you send what they are asking for.

Called NVC today and was told our case has been received and is currently in AP? What does that mean!? Anyone have any experience with this?
