Well...I broke down and called the USC this morning....I did not go the RFE way I called and kept punching menus till I got the

one that stated "if you have a problem etc...." and I went that route..,

The lady I talked with was very kind and she was apologetic about the situation we were in and she

filled out a "service inquiry" while I was on the phone....and she sent it to Vermont and then she said....

"We have to say that you must wait 30 days for the response, but they normally send out a response sooner...15 days"...

and then I asked her what this inquiry would do...

She said that there is a special officer that handles inquiries and he was required to find (handle) the file, look at it and

send a response about the case to the person.

Well...we will see what happens....I will keep everyone posted.... :wacko::whistle::wacko::whistle:

Yeah I did that the other day, but I didn't get the impression they have to MAKE A DECISION... just tell you what's going on. Which is to say, we're slow, and would rather play spinny chairs and color with crayons. >.<

Here's hoping though, right?! *sigh*

Hello Everyone..

It's been awhile since i have posted on visa journey but just wanted to share the good news we have recieved to everyone. Maybe this post may help out those who are waiting to recieve a visa for their loved ones.

I originally filed the I-129F back on sep 5th and recieved our NOA 2 on December 28th. I had originally planned a trip to see my fiancee on January 22nd and ever since i have been here since that date things have gone so fast that we have recieved our VISA :)

I got here on the 22nd of January in the mindframe that i will have a little vacation with my loved one, her family, see panama, try to get an interview date and go back home to the states. However, when we went to pick up packet 3 from the consulate, the lady was soo nice she asked up to come back the next day and turn in all the paperwork so she can give us an interview the following week. We went bak the next day and she assigned us an interview for the 30th of jan and told us to go do the medical straight away so they can recieve the results by the interview date.

The consular lady was happy with the fact that we were punctual and precise with our paperwork and that we had everything organized. We did as she said and went for the interview yesterday and got our visa. We were only asked a few questions such as, what kind of work does the petitioner do and asked her to explain what was happening in our pictures. Other than that it was pretty simple. I was there with her for morale support thinking they will want to ask me questions also, but they did not care about me. :)

we are so happy that this part of the journey is almost over and are more than happy to begin the next one (AOS), which im not worried about. All in all it took us less than 5 months for everything, which i am still shocked about.

Everyone has been a great on here and it has been a great help reading all your posts day in, day out.

signing out..

Abdurrahman and Azmina
