Has anyone been able to check the data and see if there are changes from USCIS?

From all of the other monthly threads, it looks like the website still isn't updating correctly so about 98% of us are being notified when we get the hard copy NOA2 in the mail.

 

Not sure if I should continue with the scans... What do you all think?

Thank you everyone for your kind words and encouragement. It feels so good to have a community like this that understands and is there for you.

 

Sorry you are having to go thru. Marriage is a Ministry. You cant give up at the 1st site of differences. I understand you are not married yet. Pray , if you are a Praying person. Things will be revealed.  I wish you nothing but the best. No one knows your situation better than you.... But know you are loved. 

 

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

8 Love never fails.

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Thank you! Yes, I'm a praying person and am praying that the truth be revealed to me; whether good or bad. I pray for discernment and for God to lead the way. Also giving my problems and worries up to him as I have no control and he has total control... That one is the hardest. Not worrying about it and just giving it up to him as I'm a worry wart. But, thank you. I needed that (big hugs).

This is me when I pray, I don't ask God for what I WANT, I ask him for the discernment to walk where he is leading me even if in the moment I don't understand or agree with it. "Not my will but his be done"  Is it easy- Hell No, is it worth it - ALWAYS

I've been having a really rough time this past month, to be honest. It's easy for me to be positive for other people, I guess it's a fake it til you make it type of scenario for me right now..
 

I had to put my dog down a couple of weeks ago after 11 years together and the last year of us battling her brain tumor. She fought so hard and I really thought she'd be with me until my next comfort/rock was here with me... but it didn't work out that way. It got to a point that she wasn't walking on her own, gave up eating because her mouth/face became paralyzed and you could just see it in her face. She was done and I wasn't about to let her suffer if I could give her peace. Hardest decision I've had to make yet...

 

Then my job told me that I'll be getting layed off in September. That put me into panic mode because what's going to happen with the affidavit of support.. my sister's in too much debt even though she makes good money. I'm looking for other jobs, but after giving your everything to a company for 6 years it's tough when they don't value you like they should... It's all apart of business though. I just thought they valued me more than that. SMH.

 

& last but not least now I'm looking at cancelling the K1 visa and just walking away from everything. Things haven't been going so smoothly w/ my fiance & I. We actually haven't been talking to each other as of late (mostly my fault)... the distance has really gotten to me & not having him in person as a comfort while I go through some difficult things hasn't made it easier...  The second hardest decision I'll have to make in such a short time. I don't know if to just wait until the petition gets to the embassy to decide what to do in hopes that everything will get better or just cut my losses.. I've already cancelled his flight back to Cuba from Argentina where he's at now, just in case things don't work out but flights are easily purchased again... Visa's aren't as easy.. (big sigh)

sorry about your situation, i dont know if you remember my post about my first k1 on 2013, i osted here.

remember that i post about that if a person isnt the right for us God will do whatever to put that person far way from us. even when we try to keep that person near us.

pray to God for lights on your situation,

pray and pray.

in my case my frist fiance wasnt the right person and even when i was to the interview and i was approved God did his job to keep me far from that person, now i am with another person and i am really happy.i wh you the best

Honestly I think we should wait and see if they fix the website tracker. But that's just my opinion. lol

Hello everyone, March filer here

 

I’m currently residing in China and had put a Chinese address as my mailing address, but I have yet to receive a hard copy of my NOA1. It’s been 51 days since it they received it. Unfortunately, due to the case checker not working as of late, I will be unaware if my case updates to NOA2/RFE in a timely manner if it takes this long to mail the NOA1. I had called the help line, but to get a call back I needed an American phone number and my cell phone is currently under a Chinese cell phone service. When I called again, they told me to send an e-mail, but the system did not have i-129f as an option. When I tried to change the address, it requested a zip code with 5 digits when the mailing address I put was 6. Eventually, they told me to call the consulate in China to see if they will be able to help. Has anyone else had this issue before? Would anyone know what kind of solution I could expect? Thanks!

Oh my!
I'm so sorry to hear about your current situation.... Feel a big hug from Germany! 

It's so hard to loose an animal... I can relate so good. I've had cats all my life, and I had to put so many of them to sleep, or they just disappeared. My 2 cats are living with my mom, for a couple of years now, because I couldn't bring them to this place. It's so sad to know that after I left I won't see them alive again, because they're 13 already.
On top of that I'm dealing with flying my 2 Guinea Pigs to the states or not. The freight takes around 900$... my fiancé is willing to pay for that, because I can't afford it, but I can't decide what to do. I don't want to put that on him, since he already has my AOS coming, the car I will need, and more. Shelter is no option.. I might have found a very cool heavy metal family to take them, but still... they're my guys. Tobi was sick in February and I was hand feeding him for 2 months to save his life. Even if they're "just" Guineas... I love them. 

I can't give you any advice on your relationship though. And I don't want to, because I think only you know what happened, and how your heart feels. Follow that.
I can only speak for myself... I spent a long time with someone, didn't listen to all the alarms in my heart and brain, and it was such a loss of lifetime and even more pain for me.

If your heart tells you there's hope - fight. If your "antennas" tell you it's not the right thing anymore - leave.
But give yourself time to figure it out. Like the others said, the visa processes "benefit" is the waiting time. And also it's a way bigger thing to decide than in a normal relationship, where you're just streets away. It brings a lot of consequences, so if you're not on 100% anymore....

Breath in, take time and make decisions after what YOU feel. Don't hurry, but don't wait to long. And know: You're not alone with your worries!

Jump and carry on!
Hugs!

Awwww you are so lucky!!! I don't know if I will ever see him again until I get in the US. I think it's summer there now and he got so many jobs to do like painting the house and watering the plants. Lol Oh how I wish I could be with him now! It's been 4 months since he left here. I miss him so much! 😭
