Yes.. about 8 weeks more to go.  ❤️

Thank you!😊

Yeeeyyy!! Thank you! Ann is next!!😊😊

Hahaha! Thank you so much☺️

Thanx!!!!!    She's so excited!  I'm arriving Oct 4th to go to interview with her.  Got hotel on Roxas just 5 minutes walk to USEM so she in turn moved our interview to 10/6 LOL  I invited her family to join us in hotel so we can spend family time together.  Her family is the best!  I've come to love them so well.

We are looking at her flying here 10/26 - hopefully so hopefully!!!!   

How about you???? Any chance of flying sooner than 10/29?  Probably expensive to change flights, but wouldn't that be wonderful

Wooow! Sounds like a good plan! I'm sure God will bless your plans' :))

 

I wanted to spend more time with my family.. My fiancé, Alex, told me to just spend more time with them since I wouldn't be home for 2 years.. He already booked my ticket last august 4.  so I'm really flying in 10/29. Funny thing is that, after my interview, my fiancé seems to be regretting getting that date. Hahaha! He always count days, every morning when I wake up he does the countdown. Lol. I can't fly this month since he had to work 12s on weekdays and 14s every Saturday. :(( it'll be hard on my part. 

 

I'm sure Ann's Family loves you, too!!

Is that even a thing for K1's?

[falcao79 76]

I was reading wikipedias article on uscis processing times and saw premium processing was an option for i129 and i140 petitions. Sounds like probably not really an option.

Yeah, probably not  Those seem to be for workers, not family related visas...

You got me  for a second though

Not available for the 129F form - too bad........  How many people would choose $500 or 5 months?  Probably a great percentage would

 

Looking like June filers are going to get the full brunt of this adjudication expansion.  Feel sorry for them, they hadn't a clue when they filed....  Premium processing could really help out those guys if it was available

@twoDs  no rush, kinda wondering how march finished up at the end of the month push?

Looked like they was pushing April more than March last week, just wondering what percentage we ended up with?

Hi, 

 

June filer here, what is the adjudication expansion? Haven't heard anything about it! Have seen my timeline slipping and was wondering if there was something more to the delays! 

 

Thanks, Em

Well, hello there, March chatterboxes Took me more than an hour to skim the latest news

Congratulations on all the NOA2s, approvals, case numbers, and the 1st wedding in the group!

 

I am back home again, and so is Eric, our vacation is over. It was quite hard to say goodbye after the approval but it will be the last and the shortest time apart. I'm picking up the passports on Monday, and he's going to start looking for the tickets. Still hard to believe that the process is almost over...

What do you mean adjudication expansion? Also I’m wondering, I’ve submitted a service request through tier 2 to get a status on my case which they said could take up to 30 days before i get a response. Is this any different from the submit an inquiry process on the myuscis.com. Im approaching the 6 month window and they will be updating to march soon so I plan on submitting an inquiry soon if its any different from the SR process.

Just an update, I did receive a letter from the NVC. Not sure exactly when it arrived as I stopped daily mail checks after NOA2. All it does is gives NVC case number and says they've forwarded the petition to the embassy and expect contact from them for the next steps. Between having the NVC number and the embassy website, you're already ready to go with more information than the NVC letter gives. Just need that tracker to say "Ready" to submit the DS160 and you can set your appointment.

If a letter informs that they've forwarded the petition to the embassy so maybe we will get our as well when it will happen. 

As of now CEAC tracker shows we are still at NVC. And its already a week passed after we've received our case number.

I've already booked medical and paid visa fee. So just waiting for a "ready" status to submit the DS160 and book an interview.

Once you hit "In Transit," it will be "Ready" in just a day or two. In my case, we went to "In Transit" on a Friday and it was "Ready" on Monday. I'm not sure, but since Ukraine deals with electronic cases, it's probably just a matter of someone at the embassy verifying they have received the case for the status to change. Just hang in there, everything should move forward this upcoming week!

Hey All!
So, i had an awful and busy Friday with a side of meatballs...
I woke up to a message from my F who told me that he had decided to reread the instructions from the embassy before calling the schedule the interview just to make sure he had everything. He discovered that my ORIGINAL divorce decree was something that he needed to have. When i read this, I woke up REAL fast and not in a groggy state anymore. I called him immediately!! He said called the embassy to inquire about this and the lady asked him if he had scheduled his interview yet and he replied no. She said no problem, she has time to mail them to you then. LIKE UGH!!! LIKE A SERIOUSLY ####### MOMENT!!! And keep in mind I had already sent my signed papers by DHL Tues and he got them on Thur!!! 
So, I immediately start freaking out and he is like, it's ok honey, you just need to go and get them and you can send them. I called work and asked if they minded if I was late to work and they said it was fine after I explained why. It took me 3 hours to get to the courthouse, then to get to the DHL place, then to get to my work due to an accident and construction and then just rush hour traffic and none of the places were remotely close to each other and all was completely out of my way. Then about 2 hours in to my shift one of the managers pulled me into the office, hands me paperwork and asks me if I remember our conversation after I had gotten turned down for one of the full time jobs that I had applied for and I was like yes and he was like ok, do you have any questions for me before we get started? And I'm like is this an interview? and he is like yes... and I'm like OMG I did not know!!! and start panicking about my day and how I didn't even have time to shower blah blah blah and he was like.. it's ok... long story short after the interview, he gave me the paper work for the job offer on a different full time position that was available! 
And then yesterday, after working till 11pm Fri night, I had to be back to work at 8am so of course I did not get much sleep, anyhow, I came home and crashed and got close to 12 hours of sleep, but fell asleep with the AC on so now my throat doesn't feel that great, but I feel great that I got some good sleep.
Oh, and if my F gets the documents on Tues in time, before the embassy closes, he is gonna still try to get his medical and interview done by the end of the week!

Oh, and my letter came by mail from NVC came on Friday...
