NVC Filers - May 2014

[LoveMyTico 999]

My esposo did have to fill out past work and school information on the online form. They only asked for addresses, years/dates attended, and degrees awarded. So I would guess they wouldn't be any more specific than that in the interview.

im in PA. Where is the job? Its a small world

I'm doing the opposite- tropical paradise to USA!

We will either be going to my home state of NC or up to PA where my esposo might have a really great job opportunity. Gotta see how things turn out.

(if I ever get a case complete..... )

Well hopefully you can make it a paradise there.. Haven't been to PA yet !

Wife loves NC due to the houses..but I think she prefers to stay near her family . All the best on the jobs, etc.

Good luck on the case complete, I'm sure this will be a good week for you!!

Good morning VJ family!!!!!!!!

I know most of us (if not all of us) hate the weekends right now! It feels that teh weekend is a waste of time. I've never been so happy so Monday come as fast as possible.

I so hate the weekends that I volunteered to work Saturdays until my wife gets here. I just want to stay busy and get myself to think about other things than calling NVC or watching other people's progress to compare with my timeline.

My wife is getting tired of all this, I don't blame her. She does not understand the process. Her entourage (family and friends) are killing her with stupid questions and comments. Couple of weeks ago, one of her cousins joined her husband in France with a visa (residency card), everybody became immigration experts and started talking to her about how if I really wanted her we I could've got this done bla bla bla, be careful, he is just playing you bla bla bla, may be he is married in the USA and just wants you here when he visits bla bla bla, all kind of nasty stuff.

Anyway, I try my best to talk to her and she understands what's going on and she trusts me, but from time to time she cracks down, I don't blame her at all. I even told that if I was on her shoes, I would thing the same thing.

Anyway, we got married on July 1st 2013 and our priority date is July 17 2013, 2 days after I got back to the USA.

I know lots of us are going through similar situations. Personally, I believe one thing: this process will make our relationship stronger, even if sometimes it gets hard due to unforseen circumstances.

Good luck to all.

You hit it right on the nail Etrangais! My wife's family and friends are very supportive but she stills encounters some people with "poison in their words". She has to hear these people questioning her motives for moving, questioning my efforts and my fidelity. She hates it when people ask when I am taking her over to the US. She really gets mad and clarifies she is not a thing to be "taken" somewhere, LOL! I can't wait for this process to be over.

Thanks for the wishes. I'm really hoping to be near the end of the process so I can join my husband.

Like etrangais and others have stated, weekends are now harder to bear than ever before. When have I EVER hated weekends!?

I still make time to come read the forums every day, even on the weekends when posts are a bit quiet, because I love connecting with people here...you all can understand, and it somehow makes this much easier to bear... PLUS the excellent advice and support that is here on VJ

Keeping busy is not difficult for me, as I'm listing my home next weekend, and so the endless list of tasks required give me more than enough to do. I'm not even sure how I'm getting it all done by myself. It took me all winter to paint and 'fix' the entire inside and outside of the home, and go through all items, and I mean every belonging I've ever owned! -> decide whether to keep or not, price it and stack it aside v.s. box it up for the future move -> had a moving sale last month -> now cleaned and staged and yard work done, PLUS working and getting all my affairs in order, etc.

It's been challenging to say the least. Yet the vision of being with my husband keeps me plugging away relentlessly for hours on end to make it happen!

I know they say not to 'sell' until you have the visa in hand after the interview, but in my case it's really time to leave this home, this city, this province... as the only thing here now is the memories of the first man in my life, of 22 years, who passed away in 2010. None of my family is anywhere near here either. My new love and I need to truly start our lives somewhere fresh, and that's one of many reasons why we've chosen to go to the US. If for some unforeseeable reason my Immigration is denied, we will move elsewhere within Canada (he still has his Permanent Resident status from when he Immigrated here, so could come back if need be).

Sure there are moments when I'm terrified of 'giving up' all that I have here, a big comfy home, a great job, friends, familiarity... but I see it as an opportunity for an adventure, a new life, a chance to learn and face new challenges along with my husband, side by side, wherever we end up and on whatever roads life provides us.

And my 2 fur babies are coming along too!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

So glad you are keeping that good attitude! I agree, VJ and specially this thread have made this process so much easier for me as well. I can relate to everyone and I am not alone in this ordeal.

BTW, love the pic with your doggies!

In reviewing Saylin's spreadsheet, it's apparent as mentioned by others before, that some folks have not updated their information. I specifically noted a few recent 'graduates' who haven't provided data regarding checklists and case complete dates, oh, and even a few signatures!

Perhaps some of them have moved on to the Interview thread and have forgotten that we laggers really like that information , so please please update what you can for the ones who like to study the spreadsheet

[Fabian&Rossy 120]

im so happy saylin i got my interview for may 22 expedite......????☺

Congratulations!! Glad your expedite was accepted!

Thanks for the info, but what about the address? My USC wife is living here in Canada right now so do we enter her Canadian address? We have documentation such as a job offer, car insurance quote, and notarized letter from her parents we'll be living with them to show re-establishment of US domicile to go along with her I-864.

Sorry I missed your other question. I think current address for your spouse should be exactly that. There is another section on the DS-260 where it will ask you for your permanent address, where you intend to live after arrival in the US. You can put your in-laws' address in that section.

Good luck!

Agreed! I find it disappointing that such a great resource is now not as useful since updates by members are few and far between. Of course Saylin - i know it is not from lack of effort on your part in trying to encourage people to update using the new form. Just a shame that people are tending not to bother now

Not wanting to get on anyones case - but pretty please- it really is an easy form!

from 1st page:

For up to date time frames, you can view my spreadsheet here. If you would like to be added (or have your entry updated), then please fill out the form here (please read the instructions at the top carefully, especially the update part as people aren't filling the form out correctly [they're filling out information not needed]). And before submitting the form, please make sure the consulate on your timeline isn't the default Armenia. I will NOT add/update you if it is.

[ArthurandMarcela 249]

Thank you!

[Koekoe 13]

saylin

please help me with that??

i really want to add on your spreadsheet.

[Saylin 1,605]

saylin

please help me with that??

i really want to add on your spreadsheet.

I'll add you since your embassy isn't currently on the timeline list, but you really need to speak with the VJ owner Captain Ewok to see if he can add your embassy to the list as, currently, your timeline isn't helping people to its full potential.
