NoProblem

Prepare yourselves for the quickness after NOA2. I was told our case was sent to the embassy on friday and I already have the email with instructions to send documents back so we can schedule the interview. I am flabbergasted. Prepare yourselves mates. This goes waaaaaaay fast after your thing comes in the mail.

It is simple when you strip away all the BS. Don’t give the ba$tards the satisfaction. Don’t let them win. Be strong and talk openly and honestly with your partners. Don’t let the stress of the wait take away from why you are waiting. 
 
Trust me. I am as weak and as upset as anyone. It is not Rose’s fault. It isn’t my fault. We have decided to fall in love with someone up to halfway around the world and we are trying to marry them and bring them to the states. We just are unlucky enough to be doing this at a point in history when our country is very unfriendly to immigrants. 
 
Dont let them win. Let love win. Show your partners and the world that love will always win. 

I just got an email and text update that said my visa was approved and to expect the NOA2 in the mail!!! My NOA1 date was 7/21/17 and fiance is from the UK. Ah soo excited!! Best of luck everyone!

We just got approved!!! I received the message at work and SCREAMED "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god". My co-workers were bouncing up and down with me and my boss let me go early!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Keep checking everything! I didn't receive a text or email or letter yet but it was updated online.  I am a July 17ther. 

We are July 14 filers, received approval in the mail yesterday ! Pic from our engagement 

So happy!!! We got our approval in the mail today!! Therefore I can say I’m just an overthinker! Haha Noa1 july20 here 🙏
 
 
No update online and informed delivery. So keep on checking your mailbox.
 
 
 

Yes I Just finished the scan up. I haven't went through it and organized it and posted it yet, but it was about 10-15 more cases of RFE's like the midday scan.

Funny how Trump talks big about ending the Visa lottery program. Uscis plays the lottery everyday with everyone on whose case they review. 

Yes. It's running right now and when it finishes I will go through it and post it. Should be within the next hour.

So, an update on my fiancé's interview yesterday:
His scheduled time was at 10am, and he got to the embassy at 9:30am...then, they didn't call him up until 11:30am - he was the last person there, apparently!  When he finally did get called up, it was a short interview (just like many have reported): how'd you meet, where is she from, what does she do for work, etc.  Apparently they were a bit confused as to why I had a co-sponsoring I-134 - my income is over the threshold but I put one in just to be safe - not necessary, I guess!  His medical from Monday hadn't arrived yet, but they said if it had they would have given him the visa right then and there.  Expecting it in the mail when he gets back home next week  

For those asking for the post with anti-immigration rants, let me just say that you asking the question means you wouldn't understand anyways, therefore there is no need point you to them.
 
In general, I am referring to the postings that are very in support of the proposed house GOP bill in totality and want it to be passed into law as it is. I think some of the laws are rather too extreme and could use some reviewing.

Always hear the crazy lefties on CNN say: “My Irish great grandmother came here looking for better life , America is a land of immigrants, we took the poor and hurdled ITS ON THE STATUE OF LIBERTY” radadadadada
That was the last century and even hundreds of years ago . We live in a very different landscae now. America is now a land of welfare programs. 
You think they had poor childrens health care insurance , medicare, foodstamps etc .. when they arrived on the mayflower ? 
 
With having such a welfare country you can not take most of your new immigrants from the poorest of the poorest countries in the world. 
 
Chain immigration needs to stop . Democrats use it as a way to get new votes in the future but it is so wrong and bad for the country . I see my vietnamese neighbours sponsor all there parents now . Siblings already in the pipe and applied for. They still dont speak a word of english after 10 years . We need to make it easier for highly educated to come here and harder for extended family members if not scrap it all together. 
This is not how ANY other western country selects its immigrants its old and outdated . 
 
In regards to DACA . First they said only DACA should get amnesty because they came as no fault of there own . Then ####### Durbin and his gang of amnesty people go to trump and propose LEGAL STATUS for thr parents as part of the deal . Thats why the government was shut down . 
They want unlimited amnesty for illegal immigrants but never fix the problem of how they came here initally . 
 
I live in Arizona by the border and I can tell you first hand from talking to ranch owners who have illegal immigrants and drug mules break into there house few times a year and multiple border patrol agents that WALLS WORK. Yuma,AZ had a huge problem with illegal immigration and since they built a wall with fencing and sensors and drones it is down to basically ZERO . 
 
No one is talking about a concrete wall but a wall in terms of inpenetrable fencing . With double fencing and additional technology . It will not stop everyone but it will give Border Patrol time to react .
 
Everyone knows it down here and its only the leftist elitists on the east coast and in hollywood who have never even been to the border that deny it . 
 
 
Yes I am an Immgrant so what ? I did it legally and I saw firsthand what unchecked illegal immigration in the millions did to my native Germany in only 1-2 years .
We have to have a sensible approach . Keep the DACA people for what its worth BUT make sure illegal immgration is the past once and for all . Bring it down to the minimum , it can be done if its wanted I know that. 
 
Chain migration is a thing of the past and has to stop . This is not anti immigration this is common sense. You had terrorist come through the visa lottery system and if its just one american citizen that died of the result of it , it needs to be abolished. Thats my opinion 

We even went through an RFE.

Congratulations, hopefully good news for June 6 group including John & Rose.

I feel the exact same way.  I have never hated weekends until the past month or two, and now I just want to skip them.

it takes 6 weeks for sputum test.  I would suggest wait, reschedule your interview and get married in the US else you would be starting all over.  Just a little more and you are likely done.

We’re approved!!!!!!! June 23rd!
