The NVC Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[Ketsuban 1,034]

Hi all,

Based on Soloenta advice I am posting my question here.

I am married to LPR ( religious asylee ) ,& we filed for 130 F2A , 12-sept-2014 is our PD .

We are from Egypt, I got the receipt & when I checked USISD website , I entered the receipt number & I got initial review , I checked the processing time for California service center for spouse , it was 5 month .

Now I do not understand what's the use for the processing time if I have to wait for my PD to be current, is there any way to speed things up as my husband is Christian & I am not (was born Muslim) & in Egypt they do not allow nor recognize civil marriage, & it might be dangerous for me if anyone finds out.That's why we got married in Cyprus.

Thanks again.

If you can provide proof your wife is in danger, you may be able to be expedited at the USCIS stage. I don't even know if you would be able to get expedited at NVC to get the interview right away since there is a priority date involved and as far as I know, it must be waited for no matter what.

You might be better off posting in the F2A forum on this website.

Edit: Sorry, by "your wife" I meant you! Long day.

Chantil Marcus, just in case I added a link for a F2A search there is a lot of information there I didn't know which one would be best. But keep checking here I think MoBar might know but not sure.

OK , thanks Ketsuban , but I don't know how to provide proof , by the time I do I might be dead or not who knows, I will check the form you suggested thanks again

Ok everyone, I have a question I would like every one to answer since this thread belongs to us all. Should I start a new thread the 1st of the month like Saylin and Dewheels does? Or would you rather I just leave it as is? It's up to you guys to decide. [/b]

Maybe you should open a new thread every month so that others that want to join will find it easier to go thru the pages. If we continue on just this thread it will be too much for newcomers to read all pages. Just my opinion.

Others can also say their own opinion.

I guess it's not really my place to say, but it's a shame your own people could turn on you for marrying the man you love. Stay safe.

Hahahaa your so funny geez ok well, I'm sure if the doofus doesn't e-mail you today he will tomorrow for sure, Monday if he's a total idiot.

I just called Sylvia at NVC had a lovely person pick up her name was Vanessa and she quickly looked for the Supervisor she said she can't find her and she might be in a meeting and what would I like to do have her call me or call back later. I asked for the Supervisor to call me since it was so difficult to get through. She apologized hahaa she has to be new she's toooooooooooooo nice, I thanked her and here I am.

I think a new one for each month, otherwise this thread will become thousands of pages long

Your PD is 12-SEP-2014 and currently, the cutoff date for F2A is 01-FEB-2013 for Egypt (October Visa Bulletin). You are right, an expedite at the USCIS level won't avail you, and according to this lawyer (http://www.gurfinkel.com/imm_updates110.htm) breaking through the cutoff dates is not allowed by law.

If your husband is about to or could naturalize pretty soon, then your outlook and options would be much brighter. Keep in mind that your husband could count up to one year of asylum status towards green card residency, which means he might be eligible to naturalize up to a year sooner than he thinks.

Your husband is a religious asylee. Put his experience there to good use and see if there are options from that angle.

I know this might sound odd and if it's wrong please anyone chime in. I was thinking if your in this much danger can you leave Egypt right now? You can fly to Quito Ecuador you don't need a visa for 90 days then you can file for one just make sure to take birth certificate, police records anything like that you can think of. I know you don't speak the language but you will be safe and it's cheap to fly there so your husband can visit you. Rent is cheap and some convents have cheap rooms for women, I don't know it's a thought might want to talk it over with your husband. Or some other country, and http://www.doyouneedvisa.com/visa/Egypt/Ecuador

Do we know if NVC moved on to aug 5th yet? :/

[romii 150]

Since I've seen how unreliable NVC is, I thought I should confirm if they really did accept my marriage certificate. Called right now and after 50+ minutes of waiting, got to Rick the robot

He gave me the usual 60 day story and said my checklist hadn't been reviewed, I tried to get him to tell me what dates they're working on but he was adamant on his 60 day story.

Anywho, good thing is he confirmed that marriage certificate had been accepted and the only thing remaining is the checklist, for which I should wait at least 60 days from aug 15th before calling and confirming.

....and now it's time to go back to waiting

[msc13 282]

I expect a forthcoming email or a call once a decision is made. In the meantime, I'll be holding my vigil at CEAC.

You've done enough praying for me dear... it's nearly closing time here. Save some for the others. Let's see some CCs and interviews before the week is done.

I'll start chanting my goofy chant

Hey Hey NVC! .... How many more weeks for CC?

You have brought a smile to my face this morning Moh. Am going to take my daughter yo school, go for a run and then come back and catch up on the thread. I am waiting for some good news from your camp.

I have my own NVC drama and will report on that later in the morning.

I will go with majority but am happy to leave as one thread. I guess one advantage of having a new thread each month is we can see how long some folk are at NVC for.

[mdzcpa 58]

Today I received the "60 Day" email in reply to the NVC receipt of my AOS Checklist.

I'd prefer if the letter was more honest and said something like "We are really sorry for the delay...well....not really! Because the people that run this place go home to their families every night so it's all good."

I wanted to add a thanks and shout out to Soloenta, EOC and the others that chimed in with some kind support. It helps more than you know!
