We entered the US through Chicago POE.
The officer didn't ask much, but since i was with my fiance he did speak with him a lil' bit too. But no big deal. Everything went smooth and after taking my picture, fingerprints and the yellow envelope from the embassy he smiled and said "congratulations" and that was about it.
Good luck, guys! |

Fellow Petitioners and beneficiaries,
I am writing you from the other side of the beurocratic fence. Me and my beatiful very soon to be Moldovan fiacee have successfully jumped through every firey hoop that the public official nay sayers have presented us. The interview was by far the easiest and quickest part of this painful epic which is all of our story. I am the petitioner from St.Louis Missouri United States Of America(Holler)and this is my first and only blog on this site. I personally was able to come to Moldova and meet my new family in person which
is the manly and correct thing to do in addition to traveling to Bucharest for the interview. Outside of being a confused man in a foreign land it was no more dangerous than a drunk night stumbling around the East side lookin to catch a case. My fiacee went above and beyond to gather information on what we would could potentialy need for the sed interview. However when it was show time the actual interview only took 30 minutes and was virtually painless. In fact the only things we definitly needed since I was there in the flesh was my previous years tax info, my fiacees medical info from the day befor, proof of our ongoing relationship (Phone/Skype records, pics,etc.), her flight itinerary from her initial trip to my country, both of our 2in. x 2in. photos for the new visa, and my most recent pay check stub. Everything else was
done in person like the explination of our meeting and conformation from myself that I was a legal law obiding citizen. Don't get me wrong nothing is hurt by being over prepared, we had signed noterized documents from mt bank, my boss, and my self happily waiting on standby, not to mention a years worth of paystubs and every NOA or other officialy linked documents. I'm sure she would have needed more in my absence. We happend to be fortunate enough to witess a denied visa for a Romanian man who was OBVIOUSLY trying to enter the States for every other reason that love. The problem with this specific petition is respectless ASSHOLES like that prick trying to pull a fast one and join the droves of financial oportunists already saterating the job markets in America. It wouldn't be a problem if they entered under the pretenses for just work and used the proper visas. The hardest part by far is having to say goodbye when all the paper work is approved and the celebrations are complete. The harsh truth is that eventhough America is country full of job opportunities and modern convieniences it pales in comparison to the love
and purity that still exist in some countries that are closer to there roots like Moldova. In a perfect world which could never exist, this proud American would trade his birth rights in a heart beat and be happy being Moldovan if I thought for one second I could provide as well for my family in Moldova as in the States. So past the long painful road of being apart and endless fears, stop to understand and appreciate what some of our significant others are leaving behind for us. In my case the pain helps my focus and motivation because now my eyes are open to the fact that money and security can't replace the love of a family. So do all you can to keep the family close and in constant contact and hopefully with more hard work, struggle and assistance from God happiness and and prosperity will follow. So now all thats left is to keep each other happy which I'm pretty sure is full time job. Good luck, God bless and keep fighting for what belongs to you. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
