Good luck on your interview Jason and Sasha!

And now after all troubles and delays in this proces, today I find out that the Embassy in Belgrade is temporary closed because of Kosovo situation. They don't even know when will be open again.

Can anybody tell me what hapens in that kind of situations.

We are almost done and now we are very confused.

Thanks everybody and sorry for my english!

i dont understand why the embassy in belgrade should close because kosovo is now independant...that confuses me, especially since people from kosovo werent even using that embassy, they were using the one in macedonia...how did you find out this news? try calling DOS and see if they can help you out...im sorry for your situation, and your english is near perfect, please dont apologize

I find out today. I called the embassy on the phone and the man who answer told me that. Problem is that Kosovo is independant and Serbian government didn't approved that and it is something with diplomatic relations with US... Actually I don't even understand all this and all I wont is to be with my love. I hate politics!!!

Thank you babybluesusie and goodluck on your fiance interview!

oh i get it now...the united states backs kosovo, and serbia doesnt approve, so it creates tension between them...im really sorry for your situation, i hope it resolves itself quickly!! thanks for the wishes

Actually the embassy is closed because some Serbians stormed the embassy lighting it on fire and a few things. THat is why they closed the embassy to keep the workers safe.

Hi All,

Much to my relief, I just got a confirmation email saying that our NOA2 is approved! USCIS ... what's left of my fingernails thanks you. Of course, the first thing I did was called my sweetie and made her day :)

Some observations. The last touch on my file was 8-21-2007. I had checked my case status online yesterday afternoon and saw no activity. I called the helpline and checked the automated status and got no joy. I decided to wait before trying to get to a live person.

I got a confirmation email from CRIS with a timestamp of 10:29 PM stating that we had been approved. They must run a batch job for sending out emails, though I suppose it's possible that they have people working late.

Anyways, I'm going to bed ....

If you're still waiting, take a deep breath ... you're next!

-- A

:dance:


  • Summer 2006 - My dad sponsors Ania for tourist visit
  • October 22, 2006 - Ania visits the US, we're introduced
  • November 2006 - Getting to know each other
  • December 2006 - Ania moves in
  • April 17, 2007 - Ania's six month stay comes to an end
  • June 2007 - I propose, she accepts!
  • July 3, 2007 - Travel to Warsaw to see Ania, declare my intentions to her family
  • July 2007 - Discuss options with immigration attorney - she advises me to self-file to save money
  • July 2007 - Gathering up I129f materials
  • July 26, 2007 - USPS overnight packet to CSC
  • August 18, 2007 - NOA1 (dated August 14, 2007)
  • November 20, 2007 - Ania and I meet in London, UK, visit Tarifa, ES
  • February 25, 2008 - NOA2 approved! Received email from CRIS 10:29 PM
