yeah, i heard that u can't get expedited if u e-file

We're planning to go back China this X'mas, however, my temperarory green card still pending due to delays in name check. I found AP can be e-filled, is it easier? how long does it take? Any experience would be appreciated.

Really? My husband wrote to her in 2002 inquiring my K1 case and they checked for him and replied to him

Luke, I don;t think u should waste money on attorneys since FBI is in charge of the clearance. (Unless u wanna sue INS for delaying ur case)Even INS can't intervene the FBI business, according to our interview officer. Anyway, I'm going to write to Senate Feistan next month if I still haven't got my approval next month.

Thank u, Don. I feel relieved now sinec my file wasnt lost. I also heard some gals on 001 forum complaining that they have been waiting longer than I do. I just hope in future this process will be simplified and other gals won't have to experience this any more. BTW, if anyone is planning for a trip to walk-in SF INS, I suggest them to go as early as possible in the morning. When we arrived there on6:35, line was already very long and the the waiting room inside was packed already. Tickets are limited for talking to a sluggish and sleep officer. The lady who served us wanted to get rid of us without even checking computer for us!

I went to SF INS this morning and found that my A file arrived last month while security check still pending.

Wow, so many guys are condeming me. I thought I posted something in the right place here-immigration challenges. I'm very sympathetic towards those who are still waiting for the visa since I have been there. I just don;t understanding why they thought I did something wrong in putting my compains (ok, I admit I was mad at INS) here (is this a place talking abt challenges after moving to US?) Well, everyone has different definition of the word nightmare. I am amused some angry guy would be aroused by my English. I apologize for my language and please understand I'm only seeking help fm people who are in similar situation like me- people who are experiencing the problems after entering US.

We were interviewed by SF INS on May 19th, 04. We have been waiting for almost 3 months now without any information fm them. We were told on the date of interview that my A file (K1 visa package) hadnt arrived at INS and security clearance not completed yet. I called in yesterday and was told that they will send a case inquiry for me and I can;t call again until 30 days after. My school is starting and my tight school schedule makes it very hard to find time go to SF downtown. This morning I heard from 001 forum that a K3 gal in a similar situation just found out by visiting local INS and they lost her K3 visa package during the transfering process fm airport to INS! I am shocked! Maybe same thing has happened to me! My husband thinks that it's not that important since we are together already. He doesnt understand that I just try to get rid of this waiting INS nitemare as soon as possible! Any one can shed some lights here?

Congratulations! Ur good news enhances my confidence of the endless waiting!

Dave and I just passed our green card interview in SF; however, we were told that since they haven;t finish my name check and they are still waiting for my original K1 visa package from SF customs, we have to wait several months before they mail me the approval letter. Then we have to drive one and half hour again up to downtown to get my temporary green card stamp. That's ridiculous. I entered this country by SF airport, which is not far away form SF INS office and they need almost one year to get a file fm airport to their office? The guy who interviewed us was very ironic about their relationship with FBI and the efficiency of FBI's work. How long do u guys usually wait after ur interview in CA?

I used the EAD (working permit)

well, she should be proactive in making friends here, especially K1/K3 girls around ur area. I even have several K1/k3 gal friends who are in the same college even same class. My husband loves Najing Rd so much because he can see lots of pretty chics there, hehehe. I worked in Westgate mall (mei long zhen guang chang)'s office building and there are just too many seductions there. I couldn't make any savings during the period I worked there.

thank u very much! I had been living in yangpu too, but my hometown in Jiading-a suburb. I'd been working in downtown Nanjing rd.

My husband's passport has expired and no enough time to renew it before the interview, will it matter? Except for employment letter, do we need to bring pay slips too? I'm a student, shall I get a verification fm my college? help help help!

Maybe I'm not right, but I heard that if u applied AOS or visa for ur ex within 5 years, u are not legitimate to apply for another spouse or fiance visa
