For me it’s every other page or so, so it’s barely usable.

Ditto.

Every single tab (I open each thread as a separate tab to read individually).

 

Doesn't happen on desktop, only mobile (logged in, chrome on iOS 11)

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Every now again while on this site I get pop up telling me I've won a gift card (spam) and I'm taken to another website to claim my gift. I get it no matter which medium I'm viewing visajourney. Virus check is clean.. Happens with no other dodgy site that I may visit :jest:

 

What is this black magic I'm seeing?

The issue appears to be javascript code in 3rd party ads that visajourney allows to run on their site. They can be hijacked by malicious ads.

Still an ongoing thing. I get this notification 2-3 times in a 30-minute window. 

 

Using chrome on a Google Nexus phone. I don't get pop ups like these on any other site, no matter how shady they are or how many ads they run. It's starting to get a little sad now.

When I am using my phone to go on to this site with Chrome it is basically unusable at best. I can go to maybe 2 pages and then it says my phone is infected. When I try another browser it does not do that.

Not sure if it’s useful to add this, given so many people already have, just in case:

 

Experiencing same problem on iOS (11.2.2), on Safari. Redirected to http://winnercuriosa.pro/?brand=Apple&model=iPhone&browser=Mobile Safari&td=track.grannyads.com&swim=phelps&voluumdata=deprecated&eda=deprecated&cep=mzEE42b14DF6hLI2XHCM2vje1_LgoqEh7qOT6Q8DCGfuD67Cj-VY6d2DbNAWZcOF8U5kHZ6kVN_EWMT-lixCHK60w38tVmj3Pf90HfjEu3xR4neixsE81K-LVBLcXj2gM2i5d_0UrOo-4oAVfQDLFWvTKPHG4uJG9T5TyYlPnArRc44RJlMHRLjymY1qjGuqirdsldWvQP-XGpWn_4-0O14VAxGIRmCD0xWbRtUHrWRkn4sa_qMxPa-MbLzwwfdBM2BANZ6e3no7MJjrM16ODQ&clickid=6524706336603636576&pubid=1230# and unable to move back to visajourney.com. More or less makes the forum unusable on mobile. Anything I can do myself?
