Mike and Ying

Sounds great! We are still waiting for our interview. We just spent some more $$$$ for a new EAD and AP

Congratulations

LOL, If it was not for CFL, I would have been living in a mental hospital. I was part of the original black hole gang. This site was not even up yet and there were two in the Yahoo groups. They were mostly people who had been threw the horrible process. I still remember when I wanted to knock on the white house door because of the new “secrete” laws and the other sites were not to happy with my attitude…… Back then it was scary times for a lot of us. Thank God for CFL!!! (and PJ)

The blackhole gang…some bad memories for a bunch of us. Have to say that was the worst time in my and Ying’s life… Oh…forgot to take out the trash better go before someone yells at me

Skibum, We are sorry to hear the news

Phoenix AOS 1-485, Now Processing Cases with Receipt Notice Date of: April 30, 2001 Ying is here so the wait is not a major thing

Thanks for the info. Has any of us black hole members tryied to get a vistor visa yet? I would love for the in-laws to come for a vist but I think it would be best to wait a couple of years.

Rio Grande not anymore. I just looked out my window and can see a convoy of trucks that say "We love Bush" coming into AZ.

At least we can wait with our wifes now. So I don't mind as much any more what they make use do..

Thank you Mick, We just got back from taking the pic. and fingerprints again. So we should get something in about 3 months

I agree! Online is not the way to go.

I filed the EAD via online (hoping it would be faster) for my wife. Well I just got a Notice of Decision saying that is was denied “Service records show that the ninety-day period after entry in which the applicant may seek employment authorization has expired.” So I called the BCIS National don’t know anything about visas hotline. They said I was supposed to file the EAD with the AOS. I would have to re-apply. I called back and talked with an I can’t do anything immigration officer. They said I could request a motion to re-open the case with $100.00 fee. So I then decided to go to the local office in Phoenix and see if they could issue a temp or find out why it had been denied. After talking with the so sorry you have to re-apply and give us more money immigration officer I found out that the class it was filed under was A06 (K-1). It need to be filed under the class c09 (waiting for AOS) Ok, my $120.00 mistake. I then asked if she could change it and get her card now or at least a temp card because we have waited over 3 months. I was told I could ask to re-open the case or file again for a new one but would have to wait the 3 months because we did not take her AOS papers in personally. She told me you have to bring in your AOS papers at the same time with the EAD papers and they would give you the EAD on the spot. But I explained to her if you read the BCIS website and call the Hotline it say that you are not allowed to bring in AOS papers you have to mail them to the Phoenix office. She said well people do file them in person. So I have re-filed and I am out another $120.00…. For those of you that don’t know me, I am one of the unlucky ones that had to wait 1yr 7 months just to get the k-1 visa (the black hole gang)

FINALY

You will very soon

Hum: Sleeping?????

Now I will get more blue thinges than him!!

OH my!! I wonder what he is doint????

Thanks for the info Mike. Wish we had gone ahead and went there yesterday so we could have picked up the visa today. But it was difficult to get our classes rescheduled. So we will be there bright and early Monday, but I expect it to be far busier on Monday. Glad to hear it all worked out. Get some rest, then head for the Bay Area. I think we will sleep for a year when she arives Ok, now time for me to sleep!! see my eyes are closing

Yes, I do belive if they send EMS then it is to pick up the visa.. Thanks Mick

Mick, just got off the phone with Ying. She said there was not so many people today around 100 in the get visa line. They took her passport and the new pictures. They gave her a white paper and told her to come back at 4 this afternoon to get the visa....wow over a year just for a paper... She will give me a call when she gets the visa tonight (China time).. I just arived back in the states after beeing all over Asia for 3 weeks on Friday, So Jet Lag, then DOS saying that GZ needs more paper work, to getting EMS at 4 in the afternoon Ying gets a flight at 8 that night to GZ. It has happend so fast!! I have got her tickets for Monday and I will meet her in San Fan!!

I think what is going on is they are waiting for the name check to come back then she can get the visa at the date of interview. That is much better than having to wait and come back after the interview... Hang in there

Yes, it sounds if you are not far off from EMS!!! Congrads!!!

So now she has made it past the final stop!! Congrats to you to bud!! Thanks for all of the funny things you have given us, we expect more!! hehe

OH sorry, I also got angry when people would not post the time line 1st NOA: 12/14/2001 1st name check: 6/4/2002 Interview: 8/14/2002 2nd name check: 1/13/2003 Clearance sent to GZ: 2/14/2003 EMS recived in Shanghai: 3/4/2003 Tommrow she gets the visa!!!! Take care, Mike and Ying

I got the call at 1:30 this morning; GZ wants a new picture for the visa and said to come get it! So when DOS said they sent EMS asking for more paper work and that is all they know was a big joke. I don’t think they will ever know how badly there words affect us. So please for others who have been told similar things don’t worry!!! Ying has just arrive in GZ from Shanghai, tomorrow morning she will get a picture then off to see the horrible wizard! I have made reservations for this coming Monday to fly home!! (Our home)!!! I want to thank everyone for there support and to the others still waiting, it will come soon!! Stay positive the pipe line is almost cleaned out!!! Mike and Ying B)
