Maekai, sorry to hear that. If I were you I would try to enter USA like tourist. I think that Japan is with visa wavier program. If at US entry post allow to you to enter US you can be together all the family for 3 months.

Maekai, if I were you, I would do it too.

Good luck!

Looks like very few got approved this week, that is sad since I am sure there are a lot of march filers left. CSC, still has the same saying there that they are working on Feb. I didn't get into it with the operator at CSC, but she did say to me that I have a very good chance of expedite going through. This is all due to the deteriating conditions in my wife's area. Hopefully things get moving along faster and I can have her out of the area she is in within the next 6 weeks.

We called them serveral times, but then nothing. Our congressman called and found out that ours is in FBI for name checks. Only thing that we can think of is that I moved a lot inside of States (When I was in US with F1 visa ) and outside of US ( We were in France, Germany, England and Japan) So it is taking long time for FBI to check..

We called a lawyer. He said we can't do anything till 6 months passed. :crying:

I hope ours won't take 2-3 yrs till it get approved like I hear on news sometimes.. :angry:

Maekai, sorry to hear that. If I were you I would try to enter USA like tourist. I think that Japan is with visa wavier program. If at US entry post allow to you to enter US you can be together all the family for 3 months.

Thank you for the advice. But I am afraid of being turn down at entry and worry about kids' schools to be changed.

We will think other options when it will take longer...

At least i don't feel all alone now, I thought i was the only March filer left, lets hope next week is our week Maekai :D
