Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[Courtney 1]

QUICK! I am about to call my Senator and explain to them all the issues we have with USCIS, and i cannot remember the situation exactly... I'm going to tell him about our situation (and we've only been waiting a little over 100 days), but i also want to mention how VSC was prioritizing a different type of work visa. Can someone remind me of what this situation was exactly?

armssnowangel, yours words in God's ears!

Does prior marriages and divorces hold this up? I would think they'd just do the name checks on each name, make sure the documents are in order and are done with it. If its an issue....Im in trouble.....

I'm not positive, but I believe they do check all names.

As long as you have the correct information I guess we will be fine. I submitted my divorce papers, etc.

Ok here we go...

JFK - Damascus 12feb- 04mar is coming out at about $933 a person (and that was for 3 people, with a stop in Amman)

JFK-CVG 23DEC - 26DEC is coming out at about $320. If you want to fly Xmas Eve, it gets in about 7pm and it's $300

Nothing is cheap around Christmas :(

I paid $900 to fly to London 12/22 to 1/2. Ridiculous! By the way, Virgin Airways rocks and so does London Heathrow airport!

Virgin Atlantic IS awesome! I love the set back tops, tho I could wish for some extra seat space!

armssnowangel, yours words in God's ears!

Its my prayer you find you approval soon. And yes, your baby is worth it. I told my SO...that in 10 years, this will not matter. I try to look at life that way...I have panic attacks and I deal with them by positive thinking....my question is..."Will this issue/incident/problem make a difference to me in 5 years?" If not...then I dont worry...If Yes, then I do something about it if I can. More than anything, I take time to crawl into the lap of God and let HIM hold me...let HIM take my pain...let HIM do my worry.

James 1:2-8

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; (also meaning problems, tempations, ect)

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be aperfect (Complete) and entire, wanting nothing.

5 If any of you lack bwisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (this is a PROMISE OF GOD)

6 But let him ask in bfaith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A adouble minded man is unstable in all his ways.

c

I hope these words will encourage, lift up and inspire. God bless us all as we wait upon His timing in our lives. May we learn patience and perserverance so that we may feel complete in our lives.

They prioritize work-related employment visas before family visas. They have 2 months to approve work visas but have unlimited time to approve family viasas. They are promoting a 6 moth waiting time as of today, but they can change this whenever they want with minimal to zero consequence.

Thank you! I tried to call, but he's not in today (figures). His secretary said he'd call me back, so I'll add this to my ammuntion! I never thought anyone would actually get back to me about the letters i sent, so i wasn't really prepared to talk to anyone about this!

Ugh, I want more approvals. So close, but yet so far....

I am starting to worry that my divorce and my SO's divorce are going to hold things up. COME ON ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A divorce usually doesn´t hold things up Good luck

Does prior marriages and divorces hold this up? I would think they'd just do the name checks on each name, make sure the documents are in order and are done with it. If its an issue....Im in trouble.....

I don´t think that will put you in trouble amrssnowangel

Yes they do check all names/aliases for the petitioner and beneficiary. What you are showing with the I-129f petition is that both you and your fiance are free to marry and that you have met in the last 2 years. So long as you can provide documentation supporting both of those assertions, and have a "clean" background, your petition will be approved. Depending on your circumstances, you may be subject to greater scrutiny at the consular level. Getting a petition approved is pretty easy, if time consuming. The actual visa can be more difficult if you are involved with someone from what is considered to be a "high fraud post" or have other red flags (see Bill y Bella's siggie for a link to common red flags). Just make sure you are well prepared with documentation showing you have a valid relationship and odds are you will be OK.

Ohh, we have red flags...LOL... He's younger, from high fraud post, I've had more than one marriage, one of which was a man who was here on J1, we married while he was here before he went back, but I never filed K1, nor had to sponser him. However, we've been together 4 years with 5 visits, letters from my family notorized, letter from my EX notorized (cause the two have talked while I was in hospital), I have chat logs, phone logs (lots of those), emails, my license plate showing "amrsgrl" his yahoo profile showing from 2004 he acknowledged our love and relationship. We have postal mailings. We have pics. I think the best thing for us is that in spite of the age difference and where he is from, the way he will present at interview will overcome any issues. He is a calm, soft spoken man. People take to him instantly. His tall build, great smile and sweet personaility make him a hit with any stranger I've noticed. With that, his solid answers and all our evidence..Im hoping to overcome these obstacles. They can't tell us we can't be together...or marry...they can only tell us where we will end up living. We also have a long term relationship estabilished and did not jump in quickly to marriage or k1 application. No short courtship here. His parents and my parents approve and are ready to testify if ever asked. We talk to each others parents regurlary on phone and with mail. So there is a great multitude of ways we stay in contact and have built a complete family relationship in all levels. I hope the CO at the embassy can see this. God willing it will all work out..and work out fast.

Thanks for the answer...

Don't forget to also mention how many other types of visa petitioners can pay for premium 15-calendar day processing, while K1 and K3 petitioners cannot. Good luck. Keep the pressure on the politicians to make this right!
