as i said in recent posts we got NOA1 in May, 2009! Our atty contacted uscis about delay and I received a paper letter on Dec. 9, stating; "required investigation into your (my?) background remains open, if no word by 180 days (half a YEAR!) contact us at 1-800-***". What could possibly take this long? I've always been self-employed so no employers to contact, (house painter), i have no criminal convictions, and last speeding ticket was in like '98. None of my prior 2 (K-1) wives ever filed charges or nothing against me for any reason. The first is easily findable by phone but the latest has disappeared with her affair boyfriend, not even her family back home knows how to contact her. I was talking to a new sheriff's deputy in the gym the other day who said his background check to be a cop took 4 months!
Then to make matters worse, i was in walmart last week and saw a young Phillipina lady with an older white guy and told them how seeing them together made me miss my fiance even more. He replied that CVC lost their papers and it took them an extra YEAR to get her K-1! That really made my day and i continued shopping, alone, with tear filled eyes. Its just not fair! I've heard of so many people doing sham marriages for money who got it done, yet here we are, in a true love engagement, who are endlessly delayed!
Sorry, but i just needed to vent!
I know that it's tough. We had to be patient and it felt like forever! I am feeling for you! We had to wait through typhoons, holidays, and lost paper work. All I can say is that it's the government and don' t expect anything fast.
Yes Audy_Rob ..
In a Domestic Violence situation the police file chages and not the victim. IF THIS IS THE CASE !
I am just speculating...... but the statement given by the OP [neither filed charges } does raise questions...
I think you are correct about 2 k-1's! Have you considered using a paralegal to get your through some of the snares? Sometimes they can expedite things.
