Will be 185 days (6 mos) for us. Hoping for next week.

Fingers crossed for the next week for us both.

 

I haven't seen many hit over 195.

 

Im taking one positive out of this - one last Christmas at home with my family in the UK.

1. Photographs 

You must submit one color passport-style photograph of yourself and one color passport-style photograph of the beneficiary taken within 30 days of filing this petition. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched. 

The color passport-style photos must be 2 by 2 inches. The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1 to 1 3/8 inches from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing headwear as required by a religious denomination of which you are a member. Using a pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photo.

 

I cannot fathom how a professional attorney would miss that. I would be thoroughly upset as he caused you unnecessary delays. You should have a talk with him about a refund of some of the fees.

Thanks for posting that.  It's hard to believe someone that does this everyday missed something so simple.  She gave me a list of items I needed and it said only my fiance's pic not mine.  On the Brightside, I'm happy that it's only that.  Hopefully that will mean I will have an approval after they receive my pic.  Also for some reason I can't edit the RFE spreadsheet with my info.  If someone wants to put my info on there feel free. RFE Nov 7 

received by mail NOV 14

Reason, missing passport photo of applicant

Hi everyone. I'm done filing up DS-160 on my phone then saved it but my problem is I can't open the file 😣

I was receiving  notifications on my Spinach app,yesterday and today as well.I guess that means someone is working during weekend.

[herfnturf 27]

been pretty sick so I've been off the forums a bit. Just wanted to send a quick note, we got our NOA2 on Thursday in the mail, approved Nov. 9. NOA1 may 15.  I called this past Tuesday and no one had even known we were approved. Website and app still isn't updated.

 Well my friends, I guess getting out of the country was what it took. We got approved November 10th. Not on any of the scans, the app still says case received, but when I got back from the Philippines and checked my mail, our hard copy of the NOA2 was there. So please keep the faith if you do not come up on one of Shoegum's scans (thanks sir), the Spinach app is quite useless in my opinion. Spent everyday in the Philippines checking our status and being disappointed when we were approved the whole time.

 

I temper my excitement as I know what it is like to see so many approvals around me and I was getting quite anxious and disappointed. Thank you all for your support and I hope my post gives some of you hope that you may be approved and not know it yet. This May 15th filer was well into the 180's (days) before approval. I also temper my excitement as this process is still obviously broken and I don't think I can feel comfortable until my dear gets her green card in two years. Anyway, we are approved and feeling blessed for that

I wanted to say that this forum has helped me a lot. Seeing people in the same situation as a am, just as confused and sad at times was really calming.

So many people are still waiting and if any of them wants to talk feel free to message me:) I always like hearing stories about all of you met their significant other or the proposal, wedding plans:)

Looking forward to hear from you lovely people

Hey guys

i started filing ds160 and I'm confused

it says if I had resided in any country other than Germany since I was 16. I was on a student exchange for 10 months but my visa for that says "visitor" 

well in my definition I was not ever a resident there cause I never paid rent, had a job or anything 

what do you think ? 

This is going to fall under lawyer question it sounds pretty serious... My understanding is using a visitor visa for more than 6 months is an overstay.
