Ohh best case scanario is Stuart is here for his birthday on May 19th but that is probably pushing it a bit! I’d be happy if he could be here for 2 iof my kids graduating middle and high school at the beginning of June though,!!!! Fingers crossed for us all!!! @NICK & PAULA @Swissmiss82

Wow! My birthday is on May 15th but I don't think I could POE before that. I have to finish my working contract  which is ends on June 22 so I won't pay for breaching of contract. But I hope Stuart will be there on your kids' graduation because that would be a precious and important moment.

I know the 19th is totally out of the question but I like to  dream big birthday dreams of getting to celebrate with him  🎂  🎈  🎉 !! There was some on the August page but I forget who who got approved exactly a month after NOA2!! Hoping for that kind of a miracle!!!!!

That is awesome news, John. 

 

So I see that it says Immigrant Visa Case Number. Early on when we just started to fill out the I-129F I read somewhere that the K1 visa is a non-immigrant visa (NIV). I still see this in some places, but  then when I look at my embassy's website it is always with the Immigrant Visas (IV). This confuses me so much. Can anybody shed some light as to why in some instances it is a non-immigrant visa and in some instances an immigrant one? Or do I have it all wrong? 

Technically the K-1 is a non-immigrant visa but it is treated like an immigrant visa because of the AOS. It is kind of a ba$tard. Non-immigrant treated like an immigrant. Other non-immigrant visas do not usually end up with green cards!  The K-1 on its own is a single entry, short time limit visa that expires 90 days after POE. That is why it is a non-immigrant visa treated like an immigrant visa.

I hope so, too! After all, this is our ultimate goal in this process - to be with the one we love forever. I know that it will happen soon, we're almost there.

I just checked CEAC.  5 days after NVC receiving our file and giving us the MNL# we are already "In Transit"!  Damn.  This is unbelievably fast.  Our petition was only at NVC for 5 days including the day in and the day out!

Really happy for both of you guys.....this is so exciting! To think we all wait forever to get an approval and now at a blink of an eye, you'll be living out your happily ever after. Good luck to you both!!!

 

Feels good to know that I'm following very close to you both in this race. I started out as the tortoise but I found my jet back in the shed and I'm about to boost up there with you guys!!!

I am not expecting it to happen today but there it is! Wooohoooo!

 

And I realized that I tagged the wrong name! It should be @Swissmiss82 instead of @swissmiss2 !!! I am really sorry for accidentally tagging you. 

It took 4 days for my case to be sent to the USEM here. Boy, that was fast!

 

You're next, both of you my sweetie pies!

Thank you so much, my sweet lady Trina! It won't be long now for you, too! I've been there with you and have read your every post, I cried silently with you, prayed that you'll receive an answer soon and I can't believe that this is really happening. We're almost done with this process. Our happy ever after is within reach. Really, I am so thankful!
