My fiancé (the beneficiary) is in the same boat as you! He'll be losing his job at the end of the year based on him leaving (hopefully) shortly after the first of the year, and he has the same concerns. So far, the only finances that seem to come up as a topic are mine, as the petitioner. I also told him although it may be questioned at the interview in general, I'm not sure how much it matters since whatever job he may or may not have at the time wouldn't be coming with him anyway - he has to leave his job to move here whether that's now, or at the end. My finances are the one that will be "supporting" our household, at least until his status is adjusted and he can apply for jobs.

 

My suggestion, if you haven't already, is just make sure the petitioner provides all applicable financial documents (proof of income, proof of employment, etc.) and also provides a signed Affidavit of Support. It basically states the petitioner is taking full financial support of the beneficiary by them moving to the states.

Yes I think you are right! My only concern right now will be going over to Philadelphia next week until the new year as last time I went I was called into secondary inspection for going over too many times in one year :/ Every time before I had work to prove my ties back to the UK so this time may be a bit more difficult. I just had a lot of annual leave to use so going for a long weekend worked out well for me.

 

I agree with you regarding if it matters too much about jobs as my job isn't carrying over to the US with me either.. I work in the legal field in the UK and my qualifications aren't transferable so I'm embarking on a brand new career anyway! I just hope that it doesn't hinder me by not being employed... and it seems to look like it won't!

Hi everyone,

 

By now, you know I am crazy right?

Ok so that's established... I checked March hehe....hehe... distraction from the most needed fire....

It is getting extremely close to my wedding venue... (I feel so bad for even thinking like this )

 

These are the concluded cases - only concluded cases- that will appear as either denial or approval on USCIS reports for this quarter.

This data has March to November mostly up to date.

 

	March	April	May	June	July	Aug	Sept	Oct	Nov	Total
Oct W1	74	163	111	7	8	7	16	31		417
Oct W2	58	109	191	4	2	2		62		428
Oct W3	70	95	161	1	1			42		370
Oct W4	60	84	239	2		1		47		433
Nov W1	63	105	345	12	9	11	3	56	8	612
Nov W2	23	59	223	8	3		3	1	41	361
Nov W3	29	83	278	20	2	4	1		26	443
Nov W4	17	74	172	69	1					333
Nov W5	31	63	187	115	2					398
Dec W1	4	35	93	105						237
Total	429	870	2000	343	28	25	23	239	75	4032

 

As it shows around 4000. I want to add something to that number.

I've checked all of March and April.

 

And this is how it looks (I have also checked February but not relevant to our numbers at the moment.)

 

	March	April	Total
Received	2105	830	2935
Pending	859	593	1452
Approved	1019	1898	2917
Excluded	679	636	1315
Total	4662	3957	8619

 

Apparently, especially in March the tracker wasn't working properly,  and I believe we can easily say the same for April & a 20% of May. 

However, as most of March was done by October, I'll only give a 500 cases concluded in this Q for them, and about a 1000 for April.

I believe we can also easily say a 500 cases in May goes into the same category.

 

So I'll be generous about denials and Make this a total of 3000 cases not updated on the tracker.

which makes a 4000(from above)+3000=7000

 

As a low expected number per quarter would be around 10000 cases. we have 3000 to go.

 

This is a close touch to the end of June to July.

I hope they won't suddenly slow down again, 

however at this point I am expecting for June to be touched every where by Christmas (just like May a few weeks ago, touched everywhere but a few Juners waiting around)

 

And for July to start slowly please understand this really means slowly.

Just like May and June it will start with small amount of 30-40s would be my estimation.

 

I really hope things can pick up further, because at this moment I believe VJ timelines are +-a week correct.

 

But hey I am still hoping for a Valentine day approval----romantic in me never dies and I like to live dangerously

 

*Notice for new comers:

(I'm sorry if anyone is new and never heard or read about the past calculations and discussions has been made here.)

 However, 2 important things to know would be

  1) They don't update every status correctly, we have seen many approvals without an update on the USCIS case tracker

  2) The new month tends to start when "case received" status is around 1000s 

Seriously, you're Weird! Ooh! My kind of weird!😂😂

I said the same thing. I’m too weird and he loves it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Once my fiancé comes he can’t go no where (for a while) I’ve been waiting too looong!

Hey there. My fiancée just showed me this message and felt really bad about it, so I wanted to reply to you. I don't know your relation or how long you two have been together, but Iris and I have gone through many ups and downs because of the distance and we even ended up breaking up at one point. But one thing was always true, and that is when we are together we are great! It took quite a while for us to realize that we weren't having problems with each other, it has simply been the distance and everything that comes along with it.

 

When she is down and needs a hug or my support, it is very hard to show that via a video call on my phone. I can just hold her and give her the affection that she needs. Also, the time difference is a killer and really affects our sleeping patterns and thus our moods GREATLY. Once we got to the point where we finally understood this, we were golden. That doesn't mean that it has been easy, but we both have the proper understanding of the situation and we know that it is not permanent.

 

Now, that having been said, Iris still stresses every single day and wants the process to hurry up. She quite religiously checks for updates on our visa status hoping to be able to make progress. She is the worrier in the relationship, just as your fiancé is.

 

If you two are great without all of this stress, then you need to realize that this is not representative of your relationship. A long-distance relationship isn't a true healthy relationship. There are a lot of things that are missing from the relationship. And if you want too long, at some point it becomes unbearable. A long-distance relationship cannot remain long-distance forever.

 

He will need to manage his impatience and his worries. It IS very stressful and some people can't handle it. I hope that you mean enough to him that he will be willing to stick it out. But keep communicating with him and have him communicate with you. You will both need to support each other. Even though he might be the one who is worrying a lot and it is bringing you down, he likely needs a lot of support from you. In the beginning I used to get very upset with Iris because for me, if she wanted to be with me, she would do whatever it takes and she wouldn't get depressed for lose motivation. And when I got upset, it brought her down even more and we would not be good for a while. You need to support him during this time and also let him know how he's affecting you.

 

A lot of us have and are going through this too. You're not alone in this. Iris and I wish you the best of luck and we hope that you can stay strong and make this happen, if this is what you both truly want.

Thank you so so much for this reply. As this is the same that we and I’m sure others have gone through. Everyone in here hoped that we would be with our loved ones before the end of the year, and this extra time has really caused frustrations for all. I know the last few days I have really been down specially when I saw the number right before ours approved. Your reply has given me that push, that hope that everything is going to be fine, what’s a little time when we will have the rest of our lives together. It was very much needed. Thank you and thanks to everyone here for the support and encouragement when we all need it. Even we never met, this is our VJ family and we’re all in this together. YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Well I told him to find some superglue and inform his employer... I would advice you to do so... don't mention in the interview though

I wrote to mine last week. A representative called me this week and said they are going to submit a congressional inquiry on my case yesterday and they will message me when they get a response. They proceeded to say that they will follow up with the USCIS every week until my case is approved. 

[Lana&Tyler 359]

sigh. I don’t think we will get approved this week. I feel it. 

I will make my fiancé write his congressman/ woman today. 

 

Now you all that have already done so. May I ask some questions ?

 

•did you call or did you write an email?

•what did you say/ write? 

•how long does it take to get a response from them? 

•do you think it’s truly helpful or will that result in pissed off USCIS workers and a fat RFE for no reason. 

 

 

Thank you guys. I need something to happen. Day 181. We are financially and emotionally done. We need movement.
