Hi all,

 

We just received an email from the NVC saying the embassy in Ankara has approved our request to expedite, but we never submitted one. Does anyone know what may be happening and why it could have been expedited?

That's how I feel, I don't want to give any chance to deny or delay the visa.. 

Our Police certificate here in France is free and takes 2 days to get it.. But this about 60 pounds UK police certificate and 10days to get shipped out of the UK (from what I have read) is a bit of a pain in the ***

lol

 

Logically yes.. 

 

It is and I've read that only for France !! Everybody else mention this 6months.. 

It’s £45 for standard post ( got in about a week) and £80 if you want it in 2 days.

I think it is the wording on the electronic submitted cases.  from USCIS to NVC to Embassy. "the new process" as they refer to it.

Nothing to worry it is just wording that some embassies accept to work with the new digital system.

 

good luck!

Our petition is now at the Embassy in Manila and I've submitted my DS-160 today. I can't believe we are so close to the finish. It is so surreal.

 

I didn't realize that packing bags can be like a roller coaster of emotions. I was crying while packing! Tears of joy because I am finally going to be with the man I love, and tears of sadness because I am leaving my life and my family behind. 

 

I am looking forward to starting a new life with Tony, but I will never forget to look back and cherish all the wonderful memories that is, the Philippines.

I'm the USC in my situation, but I really relate to this. I often forget that I have it pretty easy compared to my fiancé; I get to stay in the same house, keep my job, remain close to my family. I think about everything he is leaving behind and while he doesn't seem to mind at all and has zero reservations, part of my heart hurts for him because of it. He's given up his career (although we do hope he'll be able to restart the same here) and of course is leaving his family. He moved to the states several years ago (before we ever met), so he's done it before. But he didn't have a 2 year old nephew then. His nephew's birthday is in May and he was telling me the other day that his nephew was talking about his birthday with him and mentioning all the fun stuff they'll do together at his party. And Paul got really emotional because he realized he probably won't be there come May. It broke my heart.

 

We are both so excited for him to come here and he's ready - he's been ready since he left me the last time and went back to Sweden last April, lol. He was home I think a couple of days and was asking "Can I come home yet???". This is his home now, and there's no doubt about it. But the distance from his family will be tough. It's the one thing about these kind of situations that most of the time remain permanent and aren't so easy.

 

I've cried my share of tears plenty of times, too! Mostly for happiness, but some have been bittersweet. I think it's worth it in the end to live your life with the person you were meant for. But you're right - remembering where you come from is so important. I want Sweden to remain a part of our life and our home, and that includes our future children. I think it's important.

 

HUGS, and best of luck to you both! XO

OMG Toothpicks! How are you? Is there any update on K1 and the visa ban? It’s got to be positive if you got out of USCIS right?

Ummm, I didn't request my case to expedite but this morning I got an email from NVC, or this is a normal thing from NVC?

@George & Roth did you get the same email also?

 

Very normal, just ignore it.

That’s a shame. 

It’s so expensive for what it is.

My postman had the courtesy of crumpling it so it could fit in my letter box lol
