Better not to change the name and wait till everything is approved its not worth taking the risk

I am not changing the name....rite now my surname column is empty....i read from a previous vj member that she didnt get the visa stamped just coz her passport didnt have a surname and requested her to change the passport and then only they will stamp the visa....so i thought i will do all these things while we are waiting for the NOA2.

The good news is I heard from USCIS Canada first thing this morning. The bad news is they say it's out of their jurisdiction and cannot help. I will post their reply:

Thank you for your e-mail.

We are sorry for the trouble you have gone through with this case.

Please be advised that you are contacting an office of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services overseas. We don’t have jurisdiction over the Nebraska Service Center process.

Please contact them directly.

Sincerely,

USCIS/MLP

 

My XpressPost letter I sent to Donald Neufeld was confirmed to be accepted this morning. I guess we'll see if anything happens with that.

I am still waiting on him to reply to my emails and nothing so far. Nothing from the other guy as well i guess it is just a Nebraska thing. Im totally not gonna focus on them anymore just going to live life and whatever happens happens. They could have given the courtesy and even send an automated reply. 

 

I guess see us as numbers and we just need to wait until someone calls our numbers. Ive invested too much energy into stressing when i could be focusing on important things i can actually control.

I am in the same place. PD March 3. With so much going on in the world and at home, I just can’t. Yes I’m sad my husband isn’t here yet. No I won’t let myself be sad anymore. It will come soon I know, I have faith. For now I just want to be happy and put more love into the world. ❤️

I just realized I posted this in the Feb filers thread as well thinking I had posted it here. I am so out of it.

 

I'm having one of the worst days ever since our ordeal began. I'm venting to you because if I shared this with people in Canada they simply would not understand. They will try to talk me out of my move. I woke up this morning to a whole bunch of messages. I started to panic when the words "active shooter" and "is your husband alive" came in. This whole immigration experience has been a complete nightmare. People have told me I should write about what we've gone through. Then this shooting happened.

 

My spouse was working at one of the biggest hotels on the Las Vegas strip yesterday on his day off. He's been working non stop because paying for two households has drained our savings. Ironically he does security systems. He had just taken a photo in front of one of the hotels before this mass shooting happened. My spouse told me this morning he is okay. But the whole thing has really shaken me up and made me physically ill. I don't want to take anything away from the victims. I am absolutely horrified for the poor people of Vegas and those who got massacred. I am in complete shock this happened.

 

There are so many emotions going through my head. Imagine being apart from your spouse when something like this happens. Vegas is a place I visit frequently. I know the people, the sights, the politicians, etc. I know if I talk to anyone in Canada they will tell me I'm crazy for wanting to move there. Canadians don't understand American gun culture. All these thoughts are going through my head like should I move my son to a place like this? I want to see my spouse but with my section 212 I can't for another 18 days. That's if the border will let me through. I've tried to hold myself together and did after the border detained me back in Jan. I didn't cry. Not once. But our situation keeps getting crazier and crazier. It's like some sort of ongoing nightmare.

 

I'm so upset at the Nebraska office for putting my family through this separation. Everyone is still asking me what the heck is going on. Why on earth am I separated, especially when something like this happens? What the heck is wrong with US immigration? I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do anymore. I have followed all the rules legally. We have done everything that has been asked of us. Unfortunately I don't see an expedite for this situation because there is no ongoing threat. I can't help but wonder about the safety and security of my spouse though. He works at various hotels on the strip all the time.

Omg acidrain, I can't begin to tell you that I know how you feel abt this terrible shooting in Las Vegas that took many lives and the feeling of you knowing your husband lives there and very well could have been a victim of this terrible tragedy...I thank God your husband is ok but I do feel the pain and frustration you have towards this immigration process/or lack of process is more accurate.. 

Im doing my best to reach out to lots of people this week as this suffering is more then enough...

I just don't know anymore but I do know that you must keep faith and try and keep strong..  I need people like you to keep voicing our rights. Our spouses need us and we need them....Please picture you and your spouse at a very romantic dinner and keep that thought in your mind... God will come through for us... Amen

Congress letter Update:

 

So my husband received an e-mail saying basically that, without a compelling reason to expedite, there's nothing they can do. Awesome.

Nebraska is now sticking to their excuse that we're still all within normal processing times, even if they're so far behind other centers apparently.

The only time we can try to file an inquiry is if, for instance, they process February cases and jump us. Which is not only NOT helpful, 

but also not a solution, since people do wait past their priority date.

Oh  I am so sorry. I didn't know he is in Las Vegas

I can't even imagine the fear and the stress you must have felt. I am so glad he is okay.  I wanted to cry so hard while reading about the shooting, I still do. 

 

As opposed to you I cry constantly. I admire your strength. These are crazy times for all of us. Just today I was thinking exactly that, we're going to be living in the United States and I'm gradually more scared. People always say how Mexico is dangerous? We don't have mass shootings with automatic weapons. The worst that has happened recently where that many people died, was the earthquake! 

 

What can I tell you? I just found out today that Congress can't help us, we are ''in normal processing times'' and ''unless we expedite'' but just as yourself, we don't really have a strong case for the expedite. USCIS error should be the reason, but hey, then that would mean they'd have to approve ALL of us which of course is not going to happen. 

 

I know it doesn't mean much or I can't help much, but you're not alone. we are in it together and I'm sending you all my love and a lot of hugs.

Apparently people who move to the US on employment visa can bring their spouses with them or in less than 2 months. Why do US citizens have to go through a longer process ?? 😒😳😔

I am newly married and this distance is not only agonizing but it sometiems

makes me take my temper out on him. I wish they realized this long wait is not healthy.
