New Member to Visa Journey

Rhonda&Jaser · December 10, 2007

Hello everyone! I am new to this website! I noticed on the USCIS webpage that they don't accurately update the current processing dates. I am getting frustrated!

I married my wonderful husband Jaser in Irbid Jordan on July 2, 2006. I moved to Jordan early October 2006 and stayed until May 2007. It was a wonderful experience to live in his country and understand his culture. It made us so much closer. I moved back to the states in May to start the VISA process. It's been 7 months since I hugged my husband :crying: I miss him so much. Thank God we chat daily and it helps that I sent him a laptop. The time difference makes communication difficult!!

I filed my I130 on June 2nd and then my I129F on July 28th. (both received dates) My question is: IS THERE ANY WAY TO KNOW HOW CLOSE I AM TO GETTING THE APPROVAL? I attached my Jordanian ID with my passport as proof of the relationship. You can only get the ID if you stay in Jordan over 3 months. Will this help proving my marriage is legitimate?

I know from the USCIS website that they have received twice as many applications from June-August of this year and it is slowing the process.

Any help getting the info will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Rhonda (L) Jaser

Insha'allah you're getting close to an NOA #2 -- a 6 months wait at the service centers is not unusual.

As far as your Jordanian ID being proof of your marriage -- well, every little piece of evidence helps. But even more important are photos of you together and with his family, copies of your phone logs and chat conversations, cards & letters, etc. -- to show the ongoing relationship.

We have a lot of members who have processed through Amman -- you will find plenty of advice and support here. Welcome to VJ and our MENA corner !
