I just got back from a visit and it was magical.  This journey may take forever but it will be worth it the day I can call Rose my wife.

amen, brother.

USA - Brasil

 

(...this process may take forever - but I will be in Campos do Jordao for two weeks in February....and I will be happy.  Something I can control.... ) 

....happy Friday, everyone.

I booked a trip on 12/23 to visit my fiance' in the Philippines. I had completely forgot about the stress of receiving my NOA 2 after I booked my trip. I was just excited to have something to look forward to! A week later, I received my NOA 2 in the mail......the irony in it all....

 

Praying all of my fellow June 6ers hear something soon!!!!

@vocaledge,  I got an update last night at 11pm that they received my RFE info.  so there are def some after hour workers. Good to know that paying the extra money actually got it in their hands the next day and it was updated same day.  welp, here we go ... :-)

Glad to hear it has been received. I felt a little less stressed about the whole thing as soon as I read the update online.

 

it looks much better than seeing June 12 starting back at me every time I look!

 

My mind has moved on to the NVC wait now since I can be fairly certain of incoming approval... (touch wood)

The last time I called USCIS (yesterday) I asked about that.  They said that the adjudicators work 8:00 to 4:00 but they have consultants that work on the website, do scanning and inputing the update info.  The adjudicators dont do the online updates themselves.

 

I mentioned that the consultant is not very good since so many never get updated online.  She laughed and made a comment about the low bidder getting the job!  LOL

 

She had a sense of humor but all I really got was the "you are still within normal processing times" answer.

That’s good. So I have to put an inquiry in or do they do that themselves? 

They'll extend it on their own I'm sure but I'd remind them if/when the time comes

I just hit 190 days. I'm bombing Twitter acct of Homeland Security Dept. daily. Will throw the graphs right at her. She may not read it but I'm hoping others will and thereby let other Americans know that the one form of immigration that every American can unreservedly embrace (marriage/fiancee visas) .... is being handled horribly.  Businesses can be informed too, in an era of an exploding economy .. a source of top notch, able bodied, fully screened immigrants .. is being bottled up.

 

For you screeners .... is the workload increasing? Are there more cases now as opposed to 6 months ago?

Mine says the same thing....I know myself too......  I would lose my cool with "don't care"  attitude and canned response "your in normal processing times" that I see everyone getting. 

I just wait watch hope and pray!  All of our times will come eventually.

I wonder with the government change if they have to increase their denial rate as well as slowing down?

 

Like I know the current government is not all about immigration so they are supporting the timelines now, but is it just a matter of delay? Cause if it's just a difference between a month or two, that's bearable, but if they have to increase their denial % then that makes me nervous

 

 

At least with June 6 filers, it's just a matter of time, but with someone like me who has had pretty much ALL the numbers around our application touched, it makes me wonder if they just want to deny but haven't gotten around to it

 

They told us to wait 12 more days when we called on the 27th of December.

 

Day 207

 

Sorry, just wanted to vent

Yes, it’s all nerve racking especially when you see others with the same date getting approved...makes the paranoia set in that something is wrong. Trying to keep calm and not let the negative thoughts creep in...hope to receive NOA2 someyime this month!!

If you have a genuine, well-proven relationship then just try not to overthink it. I know it's hard but they can't deny you for no reason at all.

It is very easy to be overthinking all of this.  I got refused when trying to get married in my fiancé's country and I feel desperate because I worry that if we get refused here will we ever get married?  I don't even care about immigration anymore.  I want to get married and then worry about all of that other stuff!  It's easy to overthink and get paranoid and panic because our happiness is in the hands of other people because we were unlucky enough to fall in love with someone who is not a US citizen.  It's sometimes the biggest and most precious thing in a person's life to finally find the right person and know that you will be safe and protected and have a good life with this person.  It's normal to be very defensive when we feel that everything that is important to us is threatened.  I know my mental health has my parents, co-workers and my adult children worried.  This whole situation makes me go through times of not eating and times of eating too much.  And, I cry on the phone to my father.  They all pray each and every day he will be here soon and worry about what will happen if we are denied.  So, if you are a bona-fide couple, it's normal to be paranoid.  But, it's crappy.  Your loved one would hate it if they knew how you felt.  I really don't think the government is purposely trying to deny people who have real relationships.  They are just getting more aware to the jokers and fakes.  We all know that not everyone is how they seem.  Look at all the fools on 90 day Fiance who got approved!  In the end, you will be fine.  Spring is coming.  This crappy winter has everyone down!  Things will turn around!

Here's to a super productive day. Hoping for those NOA2s
