I haven't posted in awhile with any updates on on where my fiancee and I stand, so I'll give a brief update for those of you still reading. I first should say congrats to all of you who have arrived at NVC and made it out to the Embassy. For those of you with interview dates set, I can honestly say that Lena and I wish you god's speed and hope you get approved, get the Visa quickly and without delay, and that you're reunited as soon as you both desire.

Tomorrow wll be exactly 5 weeks since we arrived at NVC. I have not contacted them since the 12th of September, and only yesterday took a stab in the dark ad sent an email to th Embassy to see if they may have received it since then. I received my reply today and it is not there. So, tomorrow evenin I'll call NVC and inquire once again about where we are at. In a call on September 7th to NVC I did ask specific questions regarding the file, and was told we were NOT in Admin Review, NOT stuck in Name Checks, and was told we were waiting to be sent out. That was nearly 3 weeks ago, and I have to believe that even though the CSR seemed sincere and polite on the phone, something is going on. I have a packet of information ready and waiting for Thursday morning to send off to one of my State Senators, and hope that if they are sitting on it, that my Senator can render some aid in getting some clarification.

I can't begin to tell all of you how difficult it is after the 119 day wait for the NOA2, the 17 day wait to be sent to NVC, and now the 5 weeks of not knowing when or how the file will be sent out. October 7th will leave 60 days validity to the petition, although I guess I can request an extension from Kyiv, and will have to do so if needed. My finacee and her daughter completed their Medicals today, we have our case number, everything is in place, just not the file at the Embassy.

We will wait as long as needed. I never dreamed that I would be going through this mess at this phase. Neither of us has ever applied before, have any record of any type, are both working college educated professionals, and have provided a ton of evidence of the relationship including my 3 trips to visit in the past 13 months. From my perspective I just have no idea of what sort of delay we are experiencing and am clueless as to why this is happening.

I will update everyone when we finally are sent out. I wish everyone luck in the mean time, and welcome prayers, or crossing of fingers from anyone.

Just called the NVC again to check if my case was sent out yet. I waited over a week since I've experienced so much delay (I'm a little demoralized by now :whistle: ). Aaaand. It was sent out on September 19! Two days! Bless you NVC! :luv:

With any luck, Yuibi will be receiving word from the Embassy any day and we just might be able to have our wedding in November like we wanted!!!! :star:

Pick up visa Friday and POE Saturday!

Didn't even ask us any questions - just looked at our forms and told us we're approved and to come back tomorrow . Only comment was to compliment us on our organization and to say that if everyone was that organized, things would go much quicker.

Thank you VJ - couldn't have done it without you.
