Old Hippie Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Just talked to Mrs Hippie#2, she got married mid April, got all the papers squared by Late August so more like 4 months (not 3 as I previously stated) and waited to finish some business stuff before heading here in December. Not sure if it matters, but she was married in LOS so not sure that makes any difference between filing for a fiance visa and then a status change. Co worker married a girl from India, paper work took about 10 months with a few snafus. I figure some Post 9-11 bullshit is to blame for the current mess, and maybe just a back log of guyswanting to marry foreign women...
Weird Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Status update. I made a mistake and followed a website that says you get billed after you submit (even though after double checking it says to include the check). Ontop of that the location for submission changed, it's now all to 1 box, where they forward it on to the appropriate place. Resubmitted and got a reciept within 2 weeks (calling the line says a reciept could take up to 15 weeks!!!, and first time it took like 5 weeks). So the wait starts now.... oiy.
Weird Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Posted December 14, 2008 2 days ago the I-130 got approved.. Now I have to go through the NVC then wait till it gets forwarded to the embassy for the interview! Man it's been a looonnnggg time.
HSTEACH Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Congrats...my wife went through the same process four years ago. It took about six weeks for the packet to get to the embassy and then she had to wait three months to get an interview, which was a non event, ie, ten minutes with not a question asked of her.
Weird Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 1 1/2 years later... The day finally comes. She had her interview and gets her visa.... THAT TOOK FOREVER!! But I'm excited as ever even after that long wait.
Old Hippie Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Congratulations, and good luck, mozel tov etc...

Weird Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks Almost long enough where I wouldn't have had to wait another 2 years... Who knows, might get lucky and not get a temp (happens sometimes I hear).
