serive centers

[featherB 1]

maybe we should just go back to my ignorant question..

You're right marieke. But I don't think you asked an ignorant question. I wish we could have our choice of service centers where to send the I-129F. Unfortunately, you must send it to the appropriate service center within your jurisdiction. If you go to the USCIS website, you can easily find which service center you need to send your I-129F. Best of luck to you!

I wish, too! But anyway... yeah, in case you haven't already found the place where it tells you where to file, Marieke (and I'm sure you have, but anyway!), it's here.

I will be filing our fiance visa out of washington state... I will send it to nebraska and it will end up in california ??? is that correct.

Yes.... California and Vermont are the only service centers which are currently processing K visas. When you send to Nebraska, it will be transferred to California.

I am an attorney - but I am *not* an immigration attorney and I am *not* your attorney. I am absolutely not offering legal advice here.

You forgot your Copyright clause in your signature and the fact nobody cares if you are an attorney. The VJ Terms of Service already addresses attorney disclosures. Lawyers and their egos. We're all happy for you, , but get over yourself.

Freaking hilarious!

I thought it was more 'obnoxious' than 'hilarious', but maybe that's just me. Lots of people have those 'I am not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice' caveats in their signature.... just so happens TD is a lawyer, but not that kind of lawyer, and in any case, not dispensing legal advice on here. What's so wrong with pointing that out?!

I completely agree. I am in the real estate industry, people ask, wow how will this affect my taxes, is this legal to do. They basically want my 10 years worth of experience to give them some advice or worse yet to type a contract for them. I'm cool with helping, however without a consistant interjection...Im not a lawyer and this isnt legal advice...however........without saying that, you can actually be charged with practicing law with out a license.

If you fiance lives is Texas, your petition will end up at CSC.

thanks! just learning as i go along! loads to look at and remember!

have been getting some great help on here! xx

dont worry, many of VJs members are sharp-shooters, so keep your head down. Just send it to the service center that is stated. They are still open but will not process it, so California will do the rest. I recently send it to Nebraska and I just got my NOA1 from CA, so do this fast because everyday counts. Good luck and heads-up!!!

Congrats on the NOA1. Following the guides must have helped. As far as the "sharp-shooters" comment, we seriously encourage each person on here who is starting out to really familiarize themself by following the step-by-step guides and reading the Visa FAQ. No one will condemn you if you seriously apply yourself. It is something that is obviously seen if you haven't really tried. That's all!

By the way, in that past post from you onerfe, I don't know if you went back to read what was written. But none of us ever said you were asking "unintelligent" questions or that you were "stupid". Those words came from you amigo!

It is here for you Dutch: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=176

Looking at my photo, would you believe I'm 1/2 Dutch? But I actually am!

[elguevon 16]

I'm not a lawyer. Nor would I ever want to be one. Who would actually care if I were, right?

My point exactly! You reading that TimsDaisy? Nobody cares!

[TracyTN 237]

Funny to watch everyone jumping on Timsdaisy.

If any of you were aware of VJ history, you might find that there are reasons that it might actually be good for the board to have someone who is an attorney state that they are not giving legal advice.

Thanks TracyTN - that's true. elguevon - did I like kick a puppy of yours at some point and not realize it?

Anyway - back to focusing on actual questions:

now i find i dont have my birth certificate and i have sent off for that... allow 4 weeks for processing they say...

Pokernut - you can also photocopy each page of your passport and use that instead of your birth certificate if you can't get it in time.

Duly noted. Thank you for your concern. It isn't there for your benefit, it's there for my protection.

Best of luck in your visa journey.

And if anyone wants to start with lawyer jokes - at least make them actual, funny jokes. Taunts are tiring. Humor, however, is always appreciated.

Here, I'll start:

Q: How can you tell if a lawyer is well hung?

A: You can't get a finger between the rope and his neck!

Q: If you are stranded on a desert island with Adolph Hitler, Atilla the Hun, and a lawyer, and you have a gun with only two bullets, what do you do?

A: Shoot the lawyer twice.

Q: What do you call 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A: A good start!

Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?

A: His lips are moving.

Q: What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

A: There are skid marks in front of the dog.

Q: Why won't sharks attack lawyers?

A: Professional courtesy.

Q: What do you have when a lawyer is buried up to his neck in sand?

A: Not enough sand.

Q: Why did God make snakes just before lawyers?

A: To practice.

Okay? Want to get back to everyone getting visas now?

Yeah...which is probably why the VJ Terms of Service were enhanced to specifically address attorneys and any so-called "legal" confusion. Point being, there are less egotistical ways of providing whatever legal disclosure one feels the need to mandate to themselves (and I guess others): i.e. "Required Legal Disclaimer: Under law I must disclose I am an attorney, but I am not offering legal advice." Much more soooooooothing don't you think?
