Hi all just some updates about my case.. ........nothing has change hahahaha

My husband called them yesterday, he is not really into checking or anything like me and since we have a lawyer he just dont mess with forms or anything. But yesterday he called and he said and old lazy lady anwser and gave him the same bs info 60 days blah blah. So or course he got a little grumpy and told her that this is bs, blah blah blah.

So in other news, remember I told u guys I was starting my diet well well, 6 pounds in 2 weeks. Just need to loose 14 more, I know I know I ate 20lbs because of the green card. Oink oink..

On Sat one of my friends is getting married and everyone is bringing the aignificant other but me, it hurts me. I may drink and cry hahaha. I am just trying to stay strong and think positive.

Yes you are correct. It was us in the NY Times article. My husband instigated that just trying to highlight a problem. This has been difficult for everyone and I just hope that we can all be through with it soon.

Where are you in the process?

Oh I have just read this post now.

Don't worry about the weight. I am the same and trying to lose some weight.

That is so sad about the wedding and you not being there with your husband. I have been to a number of things the past year on my own. To be honest, I pretty much try not to do too much anymore. Just hunker down with the children and do lots with them.

Anyway, try and enjoy the wedding, spend time with friends and this will all be over soon.

Sending you a big ehug.

Waiting for a case complete now, I cant complain about it, nvc so far hasnt been that bad to us. Hoping we dont get checklist, the thing is we've been in a long distance forever. We were so excited to start our life together and they denied me the entrance to the US because I waa married to him so since that happened 10 months. It has been hard, I miss all the little things that I did when I visited him, cooking breKfast wake up next to him, you know. We were at the border I remember it was 6 am and the next day we were going for our honeymoon and they denied me the entrance . Sorry usually before bed I get allemotional.

A little prayer for you, me and all the vj wives

Dear Lord, I know that there will always be things happening around and that some things will be storms. Please help me to remain calm during those storms. I pray that my faith would remain unwavering. Holy Spirit please help me to have self-control over my body language, tongue and actions. I desire to be a strong woman of faith, especially in times of stress or pain. I pray that I can be a wife who handles those types of circumstances with grace, humility, and poise. Please help me to always reflect Your character, especially towards my husband in Jesus name AMEN!

That is a beautiful prayer

How awful to be turned back at the border. Just devastating. At least next time you go it will be for good.

Hi,

My AOS scan date is 09/15 and my IV has arrived NVC today, . will be scanned prob by tomorrow or Friday. So the question is, are counting 60 days from the AOS date or the IV scan date? I asked the the NVC guy he wasn't much of a help, asked me to call Friday and said we'll fill you in then (take that as an answer!!!!!).

Nothing in NVC makes sense. Have seen couple of people having both packages been reviewed together but most packages are been reviewed according to scan dates. So i believe the 60 days count should be for each package and should be counted for each scan date.

Like i said, NVC is a crazy house and nothing makes sense when it comes to NVC.

Andy called today. Spoke to supervisor. No change from what they told me although apparently now our scan date is 23rd Sept. I mean who knows anymore. I am just going to sit tight and wait. Doesn't really matter which one it is we probably won't get a December interview. Have resigned ourselves to a January interview and an Ozzie Christmas.

Good to see they are September 5th though.

Congratulations to those CC's.

I know the feeling...our last scan date is September 23 as well. Seems silly now to have hoped and dreamed to be back in the states for Christmas.

I wish I were the CC faerie because I would hit everyone with the CC faerie dust wand ...I will try anyway....sprinkle sprinkle you all just got CC dusted...

One Rep told me they are doing better, he said about 50 to 60 days but I wont hold my breath.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww hahaha how cute are you and thank you and picked some up and sprinkled it back on you.

Well, we got a checklist yesterday for our AOS package and for something that doesn't make sense. My joint sponsor put in her savings amount even though she earns enough and they are asking for proof of her savings or ours (which again, doesn't make sense as we need a joint sponsor).

I found out while at the grocery store, had a huge panic attack and i've no idea how i drove home for an hour without crashing. My daughter overheard me on the phone to her dad about it and started crying. I feel so stupid. I should have deleted the extra info knowing they'd be idiots. How can you checklist someone for something that is optional?! My husband is trying to get through to them on the phone today and he is talking with the senator who is on our case. I just hope more than anything that they will allow me to bring the "optional" evidence to the Embassy, because I cannot wait until Feb/March

They also said to wait 60 "BUSINESS" days for the checklist to be reviewed.

[nicholemariev 114]

Hi everybody. I know it's been a long time, but I just wanted to let everybody know what's going on.

I'm in Dakar right now with my husband (thank God, we hadn't seen each other in a year) and he had his interview this past Tuesday. They didn't let me come in the embassy with him for the interview - has anybody else experienced that or heard of that happening?

My husband did really, really well with all of the questions. And answered most of them in English, which I am so proud of him for doing that. I prepared a huge binder full of all the documents and evidence, but they only asked for one document - the divorce certificate from his first marriage. Since I prepared the binder, and we only briefly went over the contents (thinking that I would be with him to help him find stuff) he couldn't find it. They asked him to come back today with the document and gave him a form 221g. We went back this morning, they took the divorce certificate and told him to hang onto the 221g, our case is in AP, and they will contact him for a second interview in about 1 to 4 weeks. Not exactly the result we were hoping for.

I really wish there were more people on this website that had been to the Dakar embassy for their interview. There was one review on the country forum that said they didn't let the US citizen spouse in the embassy, but I thought it must have been a fluke. But I guess it's just a new policy. The security people outside were extremely rude and I had an overall terrible experience. My husband said that once inside the embassy everybody was really nice. I would really like to know if we can rely on their 1-4 week timeline for AP... I'm just so tired of people asking me when my husband will be coming to the US and all I can say is "I have no idea."

You are beyond words amazing! When I first got started Soelenta on the thread, your name was evrywhere and I was like who is that, but now I see why! You are encourage others though you are going through your own trials, your advised others though you are seeking your own answers and above all, you do it out of a sincere heart and when you need to get real, you get real. I even me and you went at it over someone cussing on the thread, which I still think I am right - no cussing should be on the thread but that is beside the point, at many stages during this process, I HONESTLY felt like I was going to crack but your words of wisdom and encouragement did wonder. I am finish with the process and now working two jobs (both which pay horrible) but together they make a living until June next year, God willing when I start teaching full time in order to finish my PHD.... CEAC has been changed to issued and I will be heading back to see my parents in law before hubby comes here ...so I will not be on here much, but I will be checking on you guys every now and then!!!!
