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

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

Ah. That is some good news already. If the US does not care about overstaying visas from other countries than this might not be such a big deal because the type of arrests that concern them seem to be for crimes of violence or moral turpitude.

In any case, keep the faith and hope for the best!

thanks very much for the support...i spoke to him this morning, he was able to call on his cell which i dont really understand because here in america im pretty sure that you would NOT be allowed to make calls like that if you are in police custody...he is still in holding, i guess at the police station...and he said he doesnt know how long it will be...i think they will send him back to albania, which is not the WORST thing that can happen, but its not the best thing either...it sucks because he was planning on returning there when we get our NOA2, which could be any time now...it wouldve just been much better had he gone back by his own free will...im much more calm today though, and im hoping that hes ok and that i will get to talk to him soon

I noticed on the RFE thread that someone received an RFE for a translated copy of the beneficiary's birth certificate. Here is the post.

Did anyone submit that with their I-129F? I didn't.

Maybe they ask for that if there is some confusion about the identity of the beneficiary or there is a bad guy/girl name match they are trying to clear up.

I had Oscars birth certificate professionally translated for 80.00 and sent it in with I-129F but still have heard nothing.....169 days....Lora

If it makes you feel any better in a misery loves company kind of way I'm at day 167 or so I guess. Seems they skipped over us and moved on. Great, the wait wasn't long enough already

Actually it does help...thanks......I do not feel alone as they move into late June and early July that I am not the only one who is sitting in some box on someones desk....they told the Cogressman's office that mine had been assigned to someone on November 1....he/she must be on vacation or is just real slow......in the meantime We sit and wait....I just hope they are quicker after this point or the Valentines wedding is off...and we move into spring in Virginia before he gets here.....OMG....that will mean we have been working on this for a whole year....ridiculous, obscene and unbelieviable......You know I hardly ever cuss but I am getting close......Lora

I just got through all the posts and now understand the latest news.

I am so sorry to hear about Leidy, but continue to think positive. She will come through and you now will be together so soon. In a couple of weeks, when you see her in person, you will feel better. I understand the pain however.

Hang in there. We are all here for you.

[MKCT 0]

OMG Byron!!! I'm speechless....Thank God she's doing better now...Her asthma must be pretty severe but when she gets out from the hospital I'm sure her medicines will help her to slow down the asthma...try to relax, she'll be with you very soon!

[BYRON-LEIDY 0]

Yeah Mirla her asthma is not good but it had never gotten to this point in her life from what she told me....i just got off the phone with her and she told me they want her to stay in the hospital at least until Thursday so they can monitor her a lttle more...her chest started closing up on her last night a little...God i want to be by her side so bad...this is so hard to be away from her while she is going though this....

O.K. guys....my morning has been on the phone so here is what I have found out.....First I did my obligitory call to USCIS customer service...I use that term lightly....and I told them that today I was at 170 days.....on December 1 I will be at 180 days and past there stated service dates of 6 months....she told me that on 181 days I can make a formal request for service.....I ask what recourse do I have as a customer who is getting bad service from this agency has....she said after they are 30 days past the 180 days making it 210 days I can put in a formal complaint which they have 60 days to respond....so I said o.k. and moved on......I called the lawyer we used and this is where I got the most information.....It took me a while but he finally came on the line to talk to me....He told me that his office had gotten at least 30 applications filed less then 45 days ago approved from Vermont....I am thinking that couple that we got from 2 weeks ago where from that group.....He said the immigration lawyers association is meeting with VSC head counsel today and hopeful will bring back some explanation of the violation of there own policies in processing these applications out of order...even if they are for training....He said that there were about 1000 pending application that are within 20 days will be outside of there service targets for K1's which then triggers some kind of internal review......He suggested that certified letters to the director of the service center from as many people as possible be sent diplomatically complaining about....1.length of time to process..2.priority of famly based application due to service to American citizens instead of work or study visas for non citizens...3. the apparent violations of there own policies of taking applications out of order to either decrease there wait time ratios or as they say training....He cautioned me to not be aggressive in the letters just ask for reason for these breaches of policy.......He also asked that we contact our Senators and Congressman and ask the same questions.......so I called both Senators offices and faxed inquiries to them and to my Congressman......I am telling you they all say the same thing about this agency......I am also composing a letter to Mr. Gonzalez and the ombudsman for USCIS.........Can you guys help.........I know some of you all are moved past my stage but this is not getting any better very quickly without pressure.......Lora
