Eh..I don't know but I know that USCIS has had slowdowns like these before so hopefully it gets resolved and others can be within a normal timeline

Hello fellow members! I am also a Junie to be exact June 14 hopefully someone shines light on my case, but waiting patiently for something to happen. 187 days and counting! 

 

I congratulate everyone on their approval, and wish the best of luck for all of us still waiting! 🤗🙃

I know no one missed me or anything  lol

BUT I'm back.

I was in the US for the past few days. Landed super late last night.

 

The border officer that I got was probably the meanest I had thus far. He made me show him my work badge and my return flight info 

 

Other than that, it was nice to be "home", got a lot of work and renovations done on the house.

 

DAY 234891792372 FOR ME (184)

Praying I hear back today.

Fiance is calling USCIS, so I will let ya'll know if it's anything interesting.

Nope. I have a feeling it will be March for me too, which has COMPLETELY messed up our plans. 😑 Completely buggered up my situation here. The lease on my place runs out on Feb 5th. REALLY don't know what I'm going to do about that. 😥

 

Wanted to be there for our anniversary, March 3rd. Highly doubt it at this rate. I'm really fu***ed off about it too. So many delays, people being messed about... I would LOOOOOVE to know what this fee covers. I know to be cool, calm, and wait, but this will cause a LOT of problems for me, if people don't pull their fingers out of their butts. 

I’m in the same situation with my lease ! 

I tried to be cool and calm but then I got an RFE yesterday and now I’m just a mess !

Hey... This is good. You have something! Just get it sorted and back asap. I doubt I'll hear anything until the last minute. Bricks are being pooped, I could build a palace! 😳

 

May I ask what your RFE was for? Hopefully an easy fix and you'll be on your way to getting your NOA2 💜💜

At least you know they are working on your case.

 

You will probably need to call USCIS.

 

I know the petitioner can change their address online. Calling would probably be the fastest way.

Nope!

 

June 12 and nothing.

 

All the cases surrounding me have pretty much been approved and I'm trying to be as patient as possible.

Hello everyone - congrats on all the approvals! Nice to see things moving along for people.

 

I just need some advice on an issue my fiance and I should have researched before. Saw a post above about beneficiary unemployment and its effect on the visa, and it has panicked me somewhat.

 

We applied back in June when I was working full time in the UK (I am the beneficiary). Shortly after applying, I left my job and came to the US for the summer on a tourist visa (thinking, at that time, it would be approved by September, I would come home for a few weeks and be back again by Thanksgiving, minimizing time spent apart).

 

Obviously, that never happened, so my fiance has had to support me financially since I returned to the UK. It's no problem for us - I supported him whilst he was a student over here - and I realise that means we were very lucky in spending so much time together, when so many of you haven't been able to see your loved ones.

 

However, I read above that leaving my job months ago may have seriously impacted on our visa situation. I never even considered it. My fiance now works full-time in finance and was always going to provide an affidavit of support for me, and we considered getting one from his Mom too.

 

Does anybody know what steps I need to take to mitigate the impact my decision to quit might have on my visa? How should my fiance be informing USCIS, and is there anything else I can do in the meantime, aside from getting a short term job (which I will obviously now consider!)?

 

Thanks for the anticipated help. Feel a bit of an idiot that neither of us considered the consequences - just assumed it didn't really matter what I earned because of the affidavit and the fact I'd need to quit my job to come to the US anyway! We treat our money/income as one and the same. You live and learn.

 

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Sorry for the RFE, usually you will have to write to the USCIS before the application is approved to change beneficiary, or call the NVC before the application is sent to Embassy.  If they changed countries and the application is sent to the other country it can delay things for up to 6 months according to posts I have read.  With RFE you may be able to supply with additional information not sure how that works.

 

Sorry picked up from other forum so embassy will be different

 

IF BEFORE NOA#2:

You must write a letter and send it to the service center where your packet is located. I found it very difficult to find the address, and the main USCIS telephone number DOES NOT have these addresses. Just do a search for "TSC address"... Remember that there are two addresses... One for courriers and one for united states postal service.

The Letter needs to include the following:

1. THE REASON you are writing the letter

2. The full names and date of births of both the petitioner and beneficiary

3. The receipt # from your NOA#1

4. Updated address for the beneficiary

AND THEN WRAP THAT ALL UP AND SEND IT CERTIFIED MAIL

IF AFTER NOA#2:

Then your packet is likely on its way to the National Visa Center, prior to being mailed out to your beneficiary. I have read that if you are already here at this step, your beneficiary needs to go to the US EMBASSY in Colombia and update her address with the local office.

IF THE PACKAGE completes at the NVC stage, your local embassy will send the packet to the wrong/incorrect address. ( which why you need to go update it at the local embassy office )

NOTE:

Calling the National USCIS hotline wont do any good unfortunately. I called 3 times, and 2 of the 3 representatives I talked to mentioned the list above for changing address. I spent 30 minutes on the phone even talking with a supervisor because nobody knew the addresses of the service centers. Finally the supervisor put me on hold for another 30 minutes before coming back on the phone and saying sorry, I we just dont keep that information. At which time I found the address on another immigration forum.

From what I know, the only time a beneficiary has to show financial support or have a job is if the fiance cannot financially support the beneficiary.

 

I don't think you having a job impacts your immigration to the US. Just make sure the person (Fiance usually) is able to meet the minimum requirements.

 

They just need to make sure you don't become a burden on the state if you apply for social services (not that the US has many of that ) or become a ward of the state
