This really is crazy. I believe that we are going to be waiting
another 60 to 90 days from the time the RFE was issued. Absolute BS.
These people should all be fired because they have the clue how painful
this is. National Security my ass because if it was National Security
that was so important they would hire more people. It's all about
money or lack of.

My father just got sick yesterday as well. He is 79 years old and his
blood pressure was very high and a vessel broke in his nose. I just
found this out so besides the Visa problem I am really upset now.
Thanks for listening.

I know exactly how you feel. You're right - it is all about money and
priorities. We need to get our families and friends and anyone we know
to exert pressure on Congress to do something about this situation. They
are always worried about all the illegals in the country but what about
us - who are trying to do things legally? BTW, great photo! I can see
why you are feeling frustrated. Buena suerte!

tmushen,



I am so sorry about this situation. Please hang in there. Are you going
to see your fiance over the Christmas break? I think it will ease the
frustration to an extent.



I wish a speedy recovery for your father. Best wishes to him.

I have an open ticket to go but with the advisory not to go to Turkey I
am holding out hoping that she gets approved soon. If I go it will be
my 3rd trip in the last 6 months and I am not that happy to fly.

Hi T,



I'm sorry things are taking soooo long for you. I know how you
feel....I've been away from my fiance for 10 months now, and on top of
dealing with immigration, I also have elderly parents (mom went to the
hospital just yesterday), and I had a car accident on Saturday which now
I have to deal with. ***sigh***



I love your picture! Thanks for sharing...hope things happen for you
fast!



Best Wishes,

Rene

I have been reading mainly on this message board, since it seems to be
the most frequented on the net. And we have received valuable answers to
some of our infrequent posts.

We seem to be in a similar boat according to our timelines.

NOA1 31st July, RFE documents received by MSC on NOV 17th, (the request
for the RFE had never been online, but we and our assisting Legal
Service got a request via letter and we mailed off the evidence the
very same day). Now the 30 day waiting time frame for the RFE to be
processed is up....



I realize a certain discouragement in my expectations to finally see
that NOA2 online. I see people getting approved in much shorter time and
I am happy for them. At the same time I keep asking myself why it can't
happen for us?

The whole process gets nagging.

Friends and family cannot understand why we don't have those visas in
hands already (k3/k4). Most of all I start feeling like a freak...like
something is wrong. And I don't like that feeling.

On the other hand I hate to be negative and always try to follow the
"positive thinking" route. But it gets harder with each day passing.

Your recent posts expressed a whole lot of how I feel today.

Vent if you must.....guess it's all thats left to do for us at
the moment.

I definitely know how you feel. You can see from our timeline of how
long it took us to get our I-129F approved. Some people took just 2
months from the same Service Center. It's just random that it takes a
shorter time than others. Hang in there!!

Yes, it sucks. I also think that it's about deliberately making the
process longer. They don't want it to be too quick or more people will
come into the country.



It's also a total joke that the point of the K3 visa was to shorten the
time that a married couple must be apart. Well, we're at 8 months since
our wedding and there is no end in sight. I guess they figure 12 to 18
months is shorter than 3 or 4 years.

Well we are at 36 days after the RFE was issued. At this rate we should
have just filed a new petition because the process is a joke as it seems
RFE's just get lost in the pile.



Today I got to talk to an Immigration Officer because after you do 3
case status it flashes on the screen to transfer me to an Immigration
officer. Guess what the immigration officer could tell me nothing. I
asked her do you think it's right that we are waiting almost the time
frame as we filed 2 seperate I129F's. The first wait was 94 days for
these people to issue a RFE. Now we are waiting waiting 36 days since
the RFE has been issued. Thus the real time frame is another 24 to 54
days because it looks to me that the process starts all over for another
60 to 90 days. I am holding back right now but this is absolute BS.



I am truly amazed this is what our tax dollars are wasted on. It's
funny the 5 or 10 times I have actually spoke to Immigration Officers
every single time I had a problem understanding them and to think these
are the people doing our applications.
