Vienna

[cindy101]

My last email from Vienna was in the beginning of July and had them @ 6months backlog & holding... In July they were working on January waivers.

Have you heard something more recent that has their timeline improved?

[REDaja05]

Yep I just received a email from Vienna today and they are just starting April Cases. Good luck to everone with case in April and to everone else too.
My husbands case is in the end of May. I hope they work fast

[cindy101]

That is great news! I hope they keep up the pace they are on now- that is pretty quck from what I heard in July they said they were on January waivers...

Good luck on getting some good news about your husband's case very soon!!!

I just sent some updates to our case, so I'm glad I got them in before they start reviewing...

One last questions... I called the FBI a couple of weeks ago to see if they were done checking my husband's finger prints and they stated they never received them for processing- is this normal considering he submitted them in May @ the embassy?

[REDaja05]

I'm not sure about the fingerprints. I know that the Embassy sends them to Vienna First after that i have no idea what happenes. Maybe you should ask Vienna. Good luck

[ngcoman]

That is good news my wifes case got to them on May 3rd.

[cindy101]

Thx... I emailed to ask them on Friday about the prints & send some new documents, already got the out of office holiday email for labor day.

We should all be hearing @ almost the same time, they clocked our waiver in the first of June.

The Vienna thread has been dead for a while. Glad to see there are some filers other than myself for Vienna on I2US.

Good luck everyone!!

[sdpgcg]

hi everyone,i just wanna tell u i went tru Vienna/Rome office 2 years ago,and by reading ur coments i guess not that much has change,it took me 3 months to get my waiver approved even though they said it would take 6-12 months,but u know what i keeped calling them every single day so i sugest u do the same :)))))

[REDaja05]

cindy101, I'm gld there are a few more of us from Vienna too. I know i haven't been on I2US in a few months things just got crazy. But Now i'm back and hoping and praying like always that Vienna gives all of us Great News. Godd Luck to everone.

[Ginger]

I would not sugest to call - email every day. You do not want overdue it. I would say once every 2 month would be good.

I know it hearts (been there, done it) but you do not want make them mad.

In 2005 Vienna was taking 11-13 month to look in the waivers. So, 6 month does not really sounds bad to me :)

[cindy101]

I compiled a bunch of stuff before I contacted them (last in touch w/ them July 1st..

New documents to add to hardship...
& I also, inquired why the FBI has not received my hubby's fingerprints for processing yet- Vienna should have received them June 1st w/ our waiver packet from Vienna. Checked w/ the FBI again today- nothing yet!

Just heard from my hubby that they did a big cleanup @ the US embassy in Albania up to & including the embassador (that could only be a good thing for anyone needing to go through there)!!!

I don't know how different Vienna is compared to the Consulate in Juarez, though once I received my Approval Waiver, I did call daily to see if my file had been updated. I spoke to a different person each time I called. I also emailed frequently, and from the responses I received, a different person responded.

Unfortunately, these things take time...often longer than sometimes we feel we can bear...wishing you all the best of luck!

[REDaja05]

I feel the same way Ginger. I email Vienna once a month i try for the end of the month that way i hear if they have moved onto the next month. When i know they are working on the month that your cases is in i email them 2 or 3 times to keep up to date.

[REDaja05]

Cindy101, I heard the something from my hubby the other day. I hope it means good things will happen for all of us who are still working with that Embassy.

[cindy101]

Yes.. I never thought they'd stoop to lying but they did... So good riddance to the whole lot of rotten apples.

I'm glad, a lot of people beyod myself must have complained.

[REDaja05]

I know of a few people who where fed up with that mess. I hope things change because it won't belong before we hear something from Vienna, things move back to the Embassy.

[cindy101]

Learn something new each day... There is more than one FBI location that runs prints- husbands had already been submitted & have cleared!

Vienna is now on April waivers...

[REDaja05]

sweet Hope then work fast.
I heared they run prints first and then look over waivers and prof.
what month is your case in cindy101?

[cindy101]

Hi Red,

You are end of May... I am the very first of June- so we should be hearing from Vienna at almost the same time.

According to the the info I received today... they will be adjudicating our case soon.

So I'm going to keep praying- for my family and for everyone on this site.

[REDaja05]

hi cindy101, I'm so happy but scarried too. I know we will hear good news in the end Good luck I'll try to email Vienna again in the start of Oct. Maybe they will be on May cases. I'm praying as well.

[Kaitlyn]

Hey everyone, my SO is Albanian and our waiver will be sent to Vienna.
Im so glad to have found this thread.(ive been looking for info on Vienna)
i hope to submit our waiver tuesday.
good luck to everyone.

[cindy101]

Hi Kaitlyn good luck to you with your waiver!!!

Vienna has been keeping up a good pace lately... So we're crossing our fingers and hoping for good news.

[Paul & Kerri]

Just a word of warning for those that have waivers filed in Vienna. Don't be surprised if they forward your waivers to Rome or Frankfurt. Our case sat in their office for 5 months before they sent it onto Frankfurt for final adjudication. They said they were dealing with backlog and it would be processed faster in Frankfurt. This happened in June, 2007 (this year). We have since got our approval (from Frankfurt) and have moved back to the States! Best of luck to everyone!

[cindy101]

I also don't know why... but it seems like certain countries are the ones to get bumped to Frankfurt and others remain in Vienna... Anybody else notice that? Must be some method to their madness.

[REDaja05]

Hi everone, I haven't really noticed that but also haven't been online for a few mouths ether. What countries do you think are getting bumped to Frankfurt. I've only talk to one person from this website who start their case in Vienna and then it was sent to Frankfurt and that is where she was from.

[cindy101]

The spreadsheet maintained by pink in 601- MX waiver stickies...

Seems like when they get overloaded in Vienna, waivers from Czech, Poland, Albania, & Romania go over to Frankfurt.

[Leeannjb]

My husband's case is also being processed in Vienna. I just got an update on Friday that Vienna is just finishing April and starting on May. Lets hope that they keep moving at this rate!

[cindy101]

That is amazing that they are starting on May waivers... Hopefully, they are having some approvals!

[REDaja05]

I was going to email Vienna today but now that i see that, Leeannjb has given us the great news i won't. Thanks so much for making my day. My husbands case is at the end of May.

[REDaja05]

Is there anyone else who has a case coming up in Vienna?

Lets make sure Pinkpig has all the up dates she needs for the spreadsheet.

[Pinkpig]

Thanks, REDaja05, for your updates. Anyone else who has updates or changes on their information on the spreadsheet please PM me so we can keep as up to date as possible.

[ngcoman]

My wifes case was received on May 3rd-07 in Vienna. We have not heard anything as of 9-21-07.

[REDaja05]

I just emailed Vienna Today. I'll post what ever i hear back tommrow. Lets all pray that they have started May cases.

Good luck to us all.

[cindy101]

I emailed also today, to add a couple of documents and inquire where they were at.

Good luck to us all!

[REDaja05]

Well no good news yet Vienna is still working on Arpil cases. I hope that they start May soon.

[cindy101]

"finishing up the cases that were received in April 2007"

Getting there... They will start May soon.

Thx.

[REDaja05]

Maybe next week.

Was thier anyone who had a case in April? And have they gotten approved?

[cindy101]

ngcoman- any news? They started on May last week.

Good luck!

[REDaja05]

OMGoodness, I'm so happy to see that Vienna started May cases.

ngcoman good luck, and please let us know when you hear something.

[Dana]

Hello,friends. I wish to say GOOD LUCK to all of you,VIENNA please , we need only APPROVALS.
My time start now. The Consulate will send soon my waiver to Vienna. I'M SQUARED.
Ngcoman, please say something...ca doar esto roman de al meu.

[cindy101]

Good luck Dana! Here is hoping we all hear good news soon!

[Dana]

Thanks Cindy 101.
I wonder if everybody knows approvals from Vienna based on misrepresentation. REALLY SQUARED.

[cindy101]

Dana,

This has all the historic information that people on the site have given so we can all have an idea of approval rates for different causes at the different embassies. Pinkpig has this posted on the I-601 Mexico Forum. Make sure you read the stickies there as well as 'all other countries' for good information.

Thx & good luck!
Cindy

[Dana]

Cindy101,thanks a lot.These informations are very hopeful. I see that most cases are based on overstay,but also i see a lot an approvals based on misprepresentation. Of course, depends of luck and what a strong waiver they had. Thanks again,keep touching.

[Dana]

Cindy101,i forgot to asked you something. I also saw that you have an waiver for F/M. What kind of F/M? Do you used lawer, do you have strong waiver? Cindyyyy, I'm squaredddd.

[cindy101]

Hi Dana,

The F/M is due to passport that was used.

I pray our waiver package is strong enough, I put 3 months of my life into putting it together.

Did use an attorney, and the resources from this site to put my package together.

I'm scared too... we all are.. so let's stay strong and hope for the best!

Good luck!

[Dana]

Cindy,we are in the same situation. I also need an I 601 for the same think. Really I'm squared because my husband is romanian/american through naturalization and we don't have medical level, just letter from psychologist. We need a miracle, just God can help us.

[REDaja05]

I'm really getting scared now. i emailed Walter in Veinna yesterday to ask about my husbands case, but there was no answer today. He always emailes me right back. My friend had told me that she didi not here any thing from him and then one morning she got a email saying that her husband was approved. I pray to god that is the next emaile i get.

I pray that we all get approved.

[cindy101]

Hang in there Rebecca!!! Your time has come, surely you are due to be reunited w/ your husband this time!

My prayers are w/ you & all of us!

[cindy101]

One last comment.. I checked the calendar- the did observe Columbus day Monday- so maybe they extend the holiday?

Also... Some terrorist nut job tried to do a suicide bomb on the US embassy last week in Vienna. Thank God nobody was hurt- but the embassy may be in lock down/ high alert... not sure.

Thx.

[REDaja05]

OMGoodness, Thats crazy, about the bomber. When did you hear about that?

[cindy101]

I haven't heard anything either, been too quiet so I googled US Embassy, Vienna and the story popped up 3 times on my google search.. .Yikes!

[REDaja05]

Yikes is right. I' glad no one was hurt and that they still working on cases. Good luck to everone.

[cindy101]

Anybody hearing anything?

They haven't responded to a 2nd request from the Senator's office from the 3rd....

Very strange for Vienna.

[REDaja05]

I know, They always responded but i haven't heared anything. I hope they are just working real hard on everones cases. Theres only two full weeks of Oct. left to go. Good Luck everone. Lets pray we all hear good news soon.

[cindy101]

I hope so too! & I pray for everyone on this site... for speedy aprovals for all!

[ngcoman]

Sorry for not responsing, I was in RO visiting my wife. We have not heard anything yet. I contacted my rep. she was going to put in a call to the consulat, I dont know what good that will do. I dont want to bother W. right now, or maybe I should? I will post as soon as I hear something. Pray is all we can do.

[REDaja05]

ngcoman, Hope you had a good time visiting your wife. I hope your Rep hears Vienna. Yes please post as soon as you can. I'll keep praying for everone.
Good luck to all.

[Dana]

She is our adjudicator. :please:
http://www.martinfuchs.com/portraits/portrait_01.html

[cindy101]

Dane- I think she is a fair person. I had a very big issue w/ the embassy in Albania, so my I-130 had to go through Vienna.

The Officer in Charge (Marla Belvedere) overturned the bad decision made in Albania in under 10 days last December.

I did send in a complete and comprehenisve rebuttal, which I'm sure helped- but unlike the US embassy in Albania, Vienna actually reviewed the evidence in and made decisions based on facts instead of their personal feelings.

Anybody hears anything from Vienna, please post! Good luck to all!!!

[REDaja05]

I emailed Vienna today i'll post what i hear back as soon as i can. Good luck to all

[Dana]

Today my Consulate send my waiver package to Vienna. My question is: how I will check my case status? And how can i comunicate with them? Thanks and I pray for all uf us.

[cindy101]

Hi Dana,

We all post as soon as we hear anything, we try to take turns emailing every other week or so nobody looks too pesty.

The best contact is Walter Stettner, email address below.

Good luck!

"Stettner, Walter" <Walter.Stettner@dhs.gov>

[Dana]

Thanks!

[REDaja05]

Ok got a email from Walter today stateing there is"No news yet on my husbands case and that had just started May case a few days ago."
I have no idea whats going on?

[cindy101]

My guess is they fell behind because of the day off and the incident @ the embassy.

NGCOMan will be hearing something very very soon then since he had a beginning of May date.

Good luck everyone! & hopefully they will be jamming on these waivers in October!!!!

[Leeannjb]

Red,

He said they are just starting May cases a few days ago!! I thought that they have been working on them longer than that!! I hope they get through these waivers quickly!

[REDaja05]

Leeannjb,

I know i had thought the same thing. I hope they get through the waivers quickly too.

[Paul & Kerri]

Hi there everyone, I keep reading this post waiting to hear some approvals for you guys. I know how nerve racking this is for all of you. I just wanted to say keep your head up and best of luck to all of you waiting for approvals!

Kerri

[cindy101]

Thanks for your good thoughts Kerri...

It has been a little frustrating in this queue... especially since Vienna's timeline slipped a bit.

[cindy101]

I think they are trying to jam on the waivers, think speedy thoughts...

"Your application is a June case, we are currently working on the cases received in May, so we are getting close to the June cases."

Good luck to us all!

[REDaja05]

If anyone hears anything from Vienna please post. Good luck to all

Cindy101, I think there jamming on May waivers too. I was going to email at the end of the month, if someone else emails frist let us all know.

[cindy101]

Hi Rebecca,

The comment in quotes was an answer I just got from them today...

Thx.

[REDaja05]

Cindy101 Sorry i didn't know Thanks you just made my day. They most really be working on get the may waivers done thats great. I'll still email them around Halloween or so. Thx again And sorry about that.

[cindy101]

Hey...

No worries, I meant to state that was Vienna quote, but left it off in my excitement.

I figure if we keep tag teaming them every other week, we each only have to ask once a month but still get the benefit of frequent updates!!!!

[ngcoman]

I spoke to WS, in Vienna. He said that our case in pending, they are waiting for some file from the DHS. I guess its the I-212. THey are working on MAY 2007.

[ngcoman]

In our conversation, WS did mention the fact that they are required to answer all calls and emails. I guess that would slow the productivity.

[cindy101]

If only.... the US Embassy in Vienna would put the info. up on the web like Rome & London every couple of weeks so you could just see the progress of the cases.

Unfortunately, email/phone is the only avenue of inquiry @ this time for that embassy.

[ngcoman]

So very true.

[Dana]

NgComan, i will pray for you and your wife. I'm romanian too, I spoke few times with you. Vienna recieved my waiver on 17 Octomber, so i'm very squared. I wish you good luck and I know that God will help all of us. Hugs!

[REDaja05]

ngcoman, Good luck I will pray for you as well.

Good luck to all.

[cindy101]

Yes, good luck ngcoman!

I know that I-212 waivers can hold things up a bit, so I hope you hear some good news soon from Vienna.

[ngcoman]

TY to all, and good health.

[REDaja05]

Hi, has anyone heared anything yet? Just wanted to check in and see what was going on. Good luck everone.

[control]

We filed a motion to reconsider and forwarded it back to the originating adjudicating office as stated in our denial letter from the AAO. The originating office was Vienna, Austria. We followed all instructions and submitted all documentation to the DHS in Vienna on February 3, 2007. I called Vienna to check the status on our case and was told the his case was no longer there and was sent back to the AAO in Washington for review on September 21, 2007 . I am very confused. Does anyone know why it would be sent to AAO?

Any response would be appreciated.

Thank You

[cindy101]

Well,

If you appeal it goes back to the US for admin review... If you refile it gets re-adjudicated by a different officer at the same embassy.

I've seen multiple postings where it is a lot faster to just re-file w/ a stronger waiver, but can't say from personal experience

I'm sure some others will reply as well!

[cindy101]

Rebecca,

I heard from somebody else I know going thru Vienna/ Albania. They just got a medical expedite approved. So they are working away over there...

Keep the hope alive, maybe our turn is right around the corner.

[REDaja05]

I heard the some from somebody else too.

I pray everyday. your turn must be very close.

Good luck everyone

[tini]

I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK to all of you that are awaiting the decisions on your case!!

The Vienna thread looks great! Nothing is like having a support system and this site made that possible!

I will pray for you all tonight! I know you all will be reunited with your loved ones because I WAS and I thought that day would never come and it did!!!! Trust in GOD!!

Good Luck to you all!!!!

Hi Becky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[cindy101]

Hi Tini! Good to hear from you again- how are things going now?

Thanks for the encouraging words!!!
Cindy

[ngcoman]

Our 601 was turned down, we received the letter today. Im not shure we will appeal, we have 16 mo to go before the 3 year is up. Im not sure we can come up with anything that would make the 601 letter any stonger.

[cindy101]

I am so sorry to hear that!!! That is very disapointing news, my heart is very sad for you and your family.

Did they say why they didn't approve your case?

Was you I-212 approved?

If you post the letter (taking out your personal info of course), I know people here would give you advice. A lot of people went thru Romania, maybe some things you didn't think of... couldn't hurt and could have 9-10 months off your wait.

[ngcoman]

My wife will be sending me the letter. Then I will be able to have more details. From the looks of it the I-212 was denied also.

[REDaja05]

ngcoman, I'm so sorry to hear that, And i agree with Cindy try Romania can't hurt.

Hi Tini How are you doing?

[Dana]

OHHH my God!
Ngcoman, i don't have words. Really, no words. I'm from Romania too, my waiver is to Vienna and in a few months i will know the answer. Really i don't want to imagine a negative results because is HORRIBLE.
I know that in these moments nothing can encourage you. Just pray to God.

[ngcoman]

Thank you guys for kind thoughts. At this time I think we will let the 16 mo go by. I do have a question, all the NVC stuff and all the paper work that we put together for her file which is at the consulate will it still be available at that time, and is there anything I need to do to keep it current. I know while dealing with the NVC you have to keep the case active, dont know if it is so with the case at the cosulate.

[cindy101]

Ngcoman,

I understand... this process can totally suck the life out of you. At least you know in 16 months (even though it is an unthinkable amount of time to add on to the time you have already been apart) that there will be a happy ending and that your wife can come back.

Stay strong... I hope you'll at least get to go visit once or twice, and I hope she's hanging in there ok.

Good luck!

As far as keeping you case active.. I think I saw somewhere that you just have to call in or email once in a while so they don't close out your I-130 and you have to start that from scratch... but I'm sure somebody will chime in w/ details.

[cindy101]

Fresh news just in from immigration liaison.

"I got a response from Vienna. They said that they are finishing up the waivers filed in May and expect to begin adjudicating the ones filed in June this week or next."

I will double up the prayers for all of us!

[Dana]

I will pray too for all the June's Waivers. Good luck!

[REDaja05]

I also received a email from Veinna
It states " No news so far (on my husbands case) and The officer in Charge will return to the office next week, thats when we will continue with case adjudication." I plan on emailing again on Nov.12th. I'll be praying for all of us as well. Good Luck

[cindy101]

Getting this close to the end is so nerve racking. I know you've already been through this once Rebecca... so I'm really crossing my fingers & holding my breath for you on this one.

[cindy101]

I just put a post in general disucussions for everyone on I2US to put out some positive thoughts for you... That your case will be approved this time.

[REDaja05]

thank you so much for your kind words, and prays. I'm doing the same for you i hope you only have to do this once.
Becuase its very painful having to wait for so long.

God Bless, and Good Luck to All

[REDaja05]

Hi Cindy, Lets us know when you hear something from WS. I'm going to email him today to.

[cindy101]

I was going to wait until Wednesday... I can't take it anymore!!!!!!

Let me know what you hear- please! & good luck!!!!

[REDaja05]

"Sorry No news so far"

Man i was so scared to open that email. I'm still shaking.

Yet me know what you hear Please and good luck to you.

I'll email him again later this week.

[cindy101]

Hang in there Becky... I'm a wreck myself... can't concentrate, can't think of anything else.

Good luck & stay strong!

[tini]

Think positive Becky!! Im sure you will hear something by the end of the week!!

I know when it comes to the end its a very stressful time!! But stay strong and pray that you will get the approval you have been wanting for the longest time!:thumbup:

Good Luck to the rest of you!! Cindy your approval should be coming very soon too!!!!!

PS - Becky Im waiting on your phone call to hear the good news!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK :) GOOD LUCK :) GOOD LUCK :) GOOD LUCK

[REDaja05]

Thank you for your kind words. I hate this wait. Its getting harder for me everyday. And i know it must be like that for you as well.

Good luck
thx again

[Paul & Kerri]

Yes, towards the end is the most frustrating and all the what if's and doubts. But once you have the approval, all the waiting and the whole process seems to not matter so much anymore.

I keep watching this thread for all of you that is so close and my heart really goes out to you all. I can't wait to see some approvals on this thread!

[cindy101]

I just sent an email... I'll probably get more of the same- will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

[cindy101]

quick response...

"We are still finishing up the May cases."

[REDaja05]

Well I talked to my husband today, and I'm not going to email until next monday.
I hope by then i'll get some good news.

[cindy101]

Me too! They seemed to have hit a slow down again :-(

Let me know what you hear Monday- If you don't get anything I'll email @ the end of the week.

[REDaja05]

Ok that sounds good. I hope we both hear something good next week.

Good luck

[magicfly99]

anyone here is in October 2007 cases? I've been reading all the posts here and it's still in May 2007. It will be a long time for me. GRR..sucks to me now...Good luck everyone.

[REDaja05]

magicfly99, I'm sorry to hear that you have such a long wait. But They will get there before you know it and then it will be your turn. Just keep your head up.
Good luck

[cindy101]

Welcome magicfly- what country did you file through?

I think you and Dana will have a pretty close timeline- she submitted through Romania for Vienna.

Good luck!

[magicfly99]

We applied at Warsaw, Poland then forwarded to Vienna. Did you guys get a case # from Vienna or they're using the same USCIS numbers?
I'm planning to email to Vienna about my case but not sure what numbers to reference it to. :confused1:

[REDaja05]

we have no case #, We email Walter in Vienna and he lets us know what is going on. When i first started emailing Vienna I would use my husbands full name and A-#.
I'm not sure if that is who Cindy did it, but she let you know if there another way that i'm not sure of.
Hope this helps, and Good luck
Oh also Welcome to the site.

[cindy101]

The first time I emailed Walter I used the case number we got from Tirana- starting in TIA... Vienna had no use for that number. Stick to the Alien # A- like Becky said, and reference your spouse's full name as the beneficiary.

I'm a little extra neurotic because there was just a denial from Romania... An expedited Albania for medical (but that was processed through Rome).

Welcome! Please post your timeline so Pinkpig can pick up your data for her awesome spreadsheet (posted under I-601 Mexico forum).

Good luck!

[Dana]

Magicfly99, my waiver is also to Vienna. Cindy has right, we have a pretty close timeline. Vienna recieved my waiver on 17 Octomber. I will pray for you.
Also I will pray for REdaja and for Cindy because Vienna will start to adjudicate their cases. I know that God help all of us.

[REDaja05]

Thanks, Dana

I am praying for you and Magicfly99 as well.
good luck to us all.

[cindy101]

Thank you Dana!

[magicfly99]

Hi all... haven't seen any updates on this forum awhile now....so what's the status of your cases? Please post

[REDaja05]

No news yet. I just emailed Walter hope to hear something tommrow. I'll post what i hear.

[tini]

I will pray for you tonight and for the others... I hope I will see a much needed approval tomorrow morning!!

Best of Luck to all of you!!

[REDaja05]

I never received a email back fro Walter today. So no news yet. I hope he's waiting to tell me good news tommrow.
I'll keep up dated as soon as i hear something.

Good luck to us all.

[cindy101]

The suspense...

[REDaja05]

Man i need spell check. I think of what i wait to say faster they i type.

[magicfly99]

ok..Spell Check again please...hehe :)

P.S Could someone post the email at Vienna? I know i've seen it before somehwere...but too lazy to search for it...thanks

[tini]

Its ok Becky we still love you!! ;)

We know what your saying.......

[REDaja05]

magic, the email address you need is
walter.stettner@dhs.gov. Walter will be able to any answer questions you have.

Tini, thanks

[REDaja05]

Hi everyone, I got a email from Walter today "case status is still pending.". It won't be long now.

Good luck to us all.

[REDaja05]

Cindy, Its your turn next good luck

[Dana]

REDaja, good luck! I will pray for you and also for all of you. Keep touching!

[cindy101]

What on earth are they waiting for????
This is crazy...

They have been on the last week of May for a month!

[REDaja05]

I don't know what there doing, but i hope they work as much as they can this week to get the month of may done. So they can start on June. That would be nice.

[REDaja05]

it always seem like they get healed up at the end of the month.

[REDaja05]

Well no news yet. i just emailed Walter this morning. Hoping for good news tomorrow.

How was everones Thankgiving?
My was ok. I ate way to much, and on Friday i shoped to much, but had fun.

[REDaja05]

Ok Walter got back to me today.

"case is still pending."

[cindy101]

They are working on the end of May and the beginning of June all at the same time.

Answers to be coming soon according to Vienna. Hoping they are good anwers!

Ugh!

[REDaja05]

Good answers sound great to me.

i know we could all us some good news around the holidays.

Good luck everone

[Kaitlyn]

Im So glad that they are on almost on June.. my papers are from November because the embassy told us to send them to Detroit, and detroit sent them to vienna after almost 4 months.

hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!!

[cindy101]

Becky...

They'll have to answer you by Friday because Vienna never gets behind their six month time frame...

[Paul & Kerri]

cindy101, I'm curious where you found this information that Vienna never gets behind thier six month time frame? I would imagine that the process can sped up or be delayed (meaning it could take less or more time than 6 months). My husbands waiver was forwarded onto Frankfurt Germany after it sat in Vienna for 5 months. They forwarded it onto Frankfurt for final adjudication, saying it would be processed faster there.

[cindy101]

Vienna themselves... this is their consistent response, and based on filing dates and answers on the board, they seem to maintain:

"At present, we are adjudicating applications from January 2007, maintaining a six months timeframe for I-601 waivers."

[REDaja05]

Thanks Cindy,

I'll email Walter tonight and wait for news tomorrow morning.

[cindy101]

I'm putting out some positive vibes for some good news in this thread tomorrow!!!!

[cindy101]

:wave:

"Good News! Please be informed that the I-601 waiver application has been approved as of yesterday. The U.S. Embassy Tirana was already informed of the grant, they are now able to continue with the immigrant visa application (of course I cannot make any statements regarding their timeframes)."

Six months... on the dot.

Thank you to God, and my attorney Jenna Peyton, and all the I2US folks that have helped along the way!!!!

[Paul & Kerri]

Thats AWESOME news! Congratulations!

[claudia01]

:thumbup: congratulation!
what date was your 601 received by vienna?( my 601 was on june 18)

Klaudialaw...

Clean up your PMs!!! I can't send u one.

[cindy101]

Claudia01,

Receipt date by Vienna was June 1, 2007

[Kaitlyn]

i just got my email from walter and he said vienna got our waiver on nov.2, i am excited and cant wait till this long process is over!!!...its been 2 years already!
best of luck to everyone!!!!

[klaudialaw]

cindy101- you can send it now, I just cleaned my PM box

[REDaja05]

Hi everyone,
I need to vent today. This waiting for an answer is killing me. I emailed Walter yesterday and they are still waiting for this additional discovered file. I really am getting more and more upset that they did not have this file before. Sorry and thank u for letting me vent.

[cindy101]

That is unreal Becky...

I will be praying for you and your family!!!

You have all the reason in the world to vent!

[control]

Red,

I feel your pain. I hope you get an answer soon. It seems so unfair but when the higher ups explain their reasoning they make you feel like its our fault. Reverse psychology is training 101 for them.

Hey Cindy is your hubby home? What was the process like after approval?

[cindy101]

Hey Cindy is your hubby home? What was the process like after approval?

Unfortunately... Alitalia has held my husband hostage for the last two days.
My parents bought his ticket, as their Christmas present to us. Alitalia assumed therefore it must be a fraudulant purchase and suspended his ticket on Monday.

Monday my mom, who is currently down with my sister who has cancer in Kentucky, ran to Fed Ex Kinko's to fax a copy of her DL and credit card and statement of authorization to Alitalia theft prevention in Italy. Alitalia said this is the only way they would lift the suspension on the ticket. They never did!!!

Alitalia confirmed receipt of fax @ 4:10pm Italian time, but didn't bother to call Albania to lift the suspension or change it in the computer... So again no flight out on Tuesday despite every member of my family screaming at them as well as American Express.

Today I woke up @ 5:30 am(11:30 in Italy) determined to resolve this and get my hubby home (after 19 months separation I was not nice)... Still nothing had been done to lift suspension.

I advised them if not resolved by 9am EST US that I would take Am Ex up on the offer to wire my husband money and have him leave via British Airways and leave it to Am Ex to get their money back from Alitalia.

Worst customer service ever! They suck! Never ever ever fly Alitalia. No word yet from my hubby, he should be @ airport now... left his cell w/ his family... I just woke up his mom. No call means good news, boarding flight- so I am going to hope for the best that he will be home 6:30pm tomorrow.

I am leaving a 5 hr layover in NY because I'm afraid of the "secondary processing" w/ his new visa and the mysterious "manilla envelope" for DHS.

Sorry for the rant... but after 19months separation- we just didn't need this icing on the cake!

[Tina]

My husbands waiver was received in Vienna from US Emmbasy in Skopje Macedonia in june 22nd, I called Vienna yesterday they told me that they waiting for a file to receive it from USA and they going to make a decision. I am excited and cant wait till this long process is over!! My husband he is Albanian from Kosovo, He voluntarly departit from US to Kosovo just 1 month before our first baby was born. Good luck to eveyone

I will say a prayer for you and your family...

Good luck!

[Tina]

Thank you Cindy and Congratulations! to you I wish you a good future.

[REDaja05]

Tina Welcome to the site.

Cindys right it sounds like we are in the boat. I hope our wait is not to much longer. Good Luck

[Tina]

Thanks, REDaja05, for your updates. Anyone else who has updates or changes on their information on the spreadsheet please PM me so we can keep as up to date as possible. If I get aproval Six months... on the dot like Cindy101, I will be happy because it will be next friday exactly six months that my husband's waiver was received in Vienna. Good luck to all of us.

[cindy101]

He finally made it home last night... Thank God!

Make sure you give extra long time for layover at point of entry... they grilled him again for 3 hours.

Thx.

[REDaja05]

Cindy,

I'm glad to hear that he's finally home.
3 hours of grilling thats crazy.

[control]

Cindy,

Thats great news now it will all be a distant memory when you look back at all the time and effort you put into the process.

I am very happy for you!!!!!!!!!

[cindy101]

Crazy... but not surprising after all of the rest of it.

I'm still going to visit this site though.. Help anyone else I can...

[Tina]

Hi Cindy I was gonna ask you how did the US Embassy in Tirana informed you that they grant your waiver, did they send you e-mail or they mailed a letter to you, and how long it took after the grant to get the visa and get in a plane how many days, thank you for your response, because someone told me that after a grant you have to wait two months to process the visa, I hope thats not true.

[cindy101]

Hi Tina...

Well..

First I heard from Vienna via email that it was approved & that Albania had everything they needed to process the visa.

Then, I emailed and faxed, and called and emailed and faxed and called... and at the end of the day I think Albania got sick of hearing from me so they called my husband and had him come in for the visa.

W/in 2 weeks of his Vienna approval he was back in the USA.

Depends on how busy they are and how pushy you are I think.

They will be very slow w/ things if you let them (Albania, not Vienna).

Vienna very timely.

[Tina]

Thnak you so much for your respond Cindy, I was praying to have my

husband here for new years but I guees it's impossible, because his waiver

was received in Vienna in June 22nd and they told me they still waiting to

receive a file from US than they going to make a decision, and I think it's

nothing until January because of the holidays this is very dificult time for me,

I can't even have happy holidays, I apreciate your help thank you so much.

[REDaja05]

Tina,

I know how you feel. They are doing the samething to me. they told us about the file they where waiting for on Nov. 29th and they are still waiting for it. Its been two weeks. I don't think my husband will be home for the new year.

[Tina]

I know this is carzy why they didn't have these files received before, but I'm

going to e-mail Vienna on monday ask them again if they received the file

I will post the answer here on monday.

[Tina]

I have called Vienna today they told me they did receive the file from US on

thursday, but they say my daughters birth certificate was missing and

another application, I know for sure that my lawyer has complete everything

and, I know for sure my husband when he went for the intervew he did send

our doughters birth certificate and all applications to the US Embassy in

Skopje Macedonia, but what they did I dont know, I am going to call my

lawyer and tell her what they doing I am so ......?

[cindy101]

That is ridiculous... The losing of important papers, and the mishandling of cases.

Bureacracy at its worst.

I am still hopeful that you will both get approved... and start 2008 w/ hubbies @ home.

[Tina]

I called the US Embassy in Skopje and ask them why they didn't send my

doughters birth certificate to Vienna with the waiver, they told me we can't

send it until they ask for it, anybody can tell me because I dont gett it why

they hold my doughters birth certificate there, and they didn't send it with

waiver to Vienna, and they say they going to send it with fast mail, and they

told me ask Vienna if they need something else we send it with fast mail, and

Vienna also aked me about form G-28 I have to tell my lawyer for that.

Cindy did they asked you for that form G-28, Im going to tell my lawyer to

send that form to Vienna and I'm going to fax it my doughters birth

certificate to Vienna hopefully I get aproval soon good luck to all of us.

I want to wish everone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Year.

[Kaitlyn]

Does anyone know if vienna is still on june? Thats the last i heard. Any updates?

[REDaja05]

I'm not sure if they are still on June or not. I haven't emailed them in few weeks. I was going to email them after the new year because i know that they are off for the Holidays.

If you hear something let us know.

[Kaitlyn]

ok. i cant wait to hear the update.

[REDaja05]

Kaitlyn, Have you heard any news from Veinna? When i emailed them i didn't ask what month they where on because they have already passed my and have gone on. So i didn't feel i should ask sorry.

[Kaitlyn]

oh, its ok. i am going to email them soon. i dont think im going to be approved untill around hopefully april. so i will begin bugging them in feb/march. I was just wondering if anyone had heard.

[cindy101]

Happy New Year everyone... just back from Florida. Was good to spend some time in the sun after crazy 2006 & 2007. I'm hoping to hear some good news on this forum soon!

Take care!
Cindy

[magicfly99]

Please be informed that we have just started to adjudicate the applications that were received in August 2007.

[Kaitlyn]

nice nice...august...we're november 2nd. Hopefully they will go fast!!!
good luck everyone.

[Kaitlyn]

oh i forgot....thanks for the update magic....i got a little excited.

[magicfly99]

You're welcome Kaitlyn !!!!

So does anyone here have August or October? :wave:

[REDaja05]

Thats great that there moving so fast. good Luck to very one with case coming up and case still pending.

[REDaja05]

Hi everyone, I just wanted you all to know that i have heard from Vienna, and my husband was denied again for the seecond time. I'm going to see a very good lawer on Monday to see what to do. thanks for all your support.

[cindy101]

Becky...

That is devastating news. Our prayers are definitely with you and your husband. I pray you find some way to be together with your husband here in the US.

[Paul & Kerri]

Oh Rebecca, I'm soo soo sorry to hear this. I was hoping and praying for good news for the both of you. My thoughts and prayers and with you and I sure hope you both can overcome this.

[SES]

I am very sorry Rebecca.
Please, make contact with Senator Levin. They did helped me. Laurel Scott is great. She had many waivers in Vienna and Frankfurt. She can help you. Did you think about her? If you don't want to hire her maybe consultation with her will be helpful. Do you trust your lawyer? What was the reason you were denied? Do you remember Sylvia? Sylvia's waiver was denied two times in Vienna but they were approved the third time so don't loose hope. I am sorry it is taking so long time for you. Only persistence works in your favour.
Be strong !!!

[Leeannjb]

I am so sorry Rebecca, I can't believe they denied the case again. I had just sent you an email, and then checked the forum...I can't believe it...
Let me know if I can help in anyway....Talk to you soon!

[magicfly99]

Becca...
So sorry to hear that. I hope you can stay strong and fight through this. Could you post the HSL ?

[REDaja05]

Hi everyone thank you for all your kind words. I have talk to my lawer and i'm going to refile the waivers again with his help. I feel every good about working with him. He has had many case like this. I'll try to keep updating info as much as i can. Thank you all again, and good luck to everyone

[claudia01]

becca, its very important
im trying to pm you, clean your messages

[REDaja05]

claudia01 i got your message, and pmed to back.

[REDaja05]

Has anyone else heard from Veinna. Lets keep this post moving. Don't stop posting. We need to hear good news.

[cindy101]

Hey there! I thought you were headed to Albania.... r-u back already? How goes the re-filing process?

Pls send me your waiver letter to my home email... I'd like to see if any of the research I did can help you.

Thx.

[Kaitlyn]

Hey where in Albania are you guys from? My guy is albanian and i went there for about 3 months this year. I loved it. We were in Tirana and Korca, and the beach at Durres.

yea, has anyone heard from vienna? i dont want to start bugging them until march.

[mosaic]

Hello I wanted to intruduce myself I am new to this site and my husband was deported from the US to Albania... I would love to talk with those who have experience with Albania and how it's going... I would appreciate any advice you can give... Thanks a bunch..

[cindy101]

Hi Mosaic,

I don't come on quite as often- but am open to talking about Vienna &/or Albania.

We got an approval- only had to file the 601 though (but it was a tough charge fraud/misrep) husband used somebody elses passport.

[Kaitlyn]

Has anyone heard any new updates?

[olie2oo6]

hi last time i got an email from Vienna they were working on August of 2007.
I did my application on September of 2007 and still waiting :(
my husband is in Albania right now....
if anyone has any info please post

[olie2oo6]

Hi Mosaic,

I don't come on quite as often- but am open to talking about Vienna &/or Albania.

We got an approval- only had to file the 601 though (but it was a tough charge fraud/misrep) husband used somebody elses passport.

My husband is now in Albania, when he came to the US he came with someone else passport and that is why we had to do the 601.... I did the 601 with a lawer so i hope everything was fine....
tell me more about your case and how long you had to wait...... I am so scared I dont want to hear bad news from Vienna.
thank you

[mosaic]

Hi olie... My husband is in Albania as well and he used someone elses passport.. I have no yet sent our waiver in we are still waiting for the visa interview... I wish you all the luck in the world and keep my posted....

[olie2oo6]

Hi olie... My husband is in Albania as well and he used someone elses passport.. I have no yet sent our waiver in we are still waiting for the visa interview... I wish you all the luck in the world and keep my posted....

Why dont you start your 601 so you can have it ready? we hired a lawer and even with that there was a lot of work to do so.... i would sugest you have it ready.

[REDaja05]

Hi everyone,
I recieved a call this mornign from your Lawyers Assistant. She called to tell me that she received a email from the Embassy stating that my husband has an appointment to refile the Waivers March 6th. I'm glad that will be done soon.

[cindy101]

Becky- I am glad that you will be able to file again so soon. You are DUE for a major change in luck here!!!

Olie- I had to wait all of the standard times (6 months for I-601 review). We got hosed by the US Embassy in Tirana over our I-130 and they made us go thru Vienna.. and even after Vienna approved it they made us prove even more before they would accept the I-601. So that part of our timeline is what took the longest. Receipt date of waiver to decision is usually 6 months.

They are usually more brutal and take more time if you have to do an I-212 along w/ your I-601.

[olie2oo6]

thanx i dont think we had to do the other application just the 601
next month is going to be six months for us !!! hopefully we will hear something....

[lmichellebelle]

Hi y'all,
I'm new but have been checking out this site for awhile and just registered! My husband is from Romania but his waiver is also being processed in Vienna. I found out Tuesday from an official there that they have "just started to adjudicate" cases received in Sept. of 2007. Hope this helps, Ollie!

Have a great day. :wink:

[lmichellebelle]

Dear Ollie,
You are more than welcome for the info. and please let us know when you hear something! I am excited for you. I have heard from several people that the Vienna embassy is an efficient one with friendly staff members, so at least we have that working in our favor!

Good luck!

My husband refiled the waivers today. Good news for others who will be filing at the US Embassy in Tirana there is NO charge for Fingerprints now. But you have to pay 65 eruo (about $100) to send your waivers UPS. Good luck to everyone who will be filing soon.

[olie2oo6]

We will appeal- i will talk to my lawyer today.
if nyone has any info on 601 denials please share

we applied on september 2006

[REDaja05]

Olie i'm sorry to hear that. Why did you appeal why not just refile? Its faster and you get a new start on everything. It make sme so made that Vienna Denied you. Don't give up keep fiting.

Olie i'm sorry to hear that. Why did you appeal why not just refile? Its faster and you get a new start on everything. It make sme so made that Vienna Denied you. Don't give up keep fiting.

we decided to reapply thank you

[mosaic]

What frustrates me the most is that they denied you because he used someone elses passport. My husband did as well, but what do they expect. At that time the country was under a dictator. It is so difficult to get a visa if you are from Albania they look at where you are from and your visa is denied. If someone needs to get out they get out no matter what they need to do. It is out of desperation and desperate times call for desperate measures. I am afraid now that we will be denied for the same reason they gave you... I wish you all the luck Olie

mosaic dont worry... it depends who looks at your case and your hardship....
you know we can keep on trying and trying we will never give up.... For God's sake they cant deny all of us! it just amazes me of what they consider hardship.... i mean how sick do you have to be to really get your husband back... you would think you have a right since you are a US citizen but they take all ur rights away .....
I will re apply and I am hoping they will approve us this time

[magicfly99]

hi all...just out of curiosity...Has Vienna dennied all cases that people used someone else passport? Has anyone being dennied by EWI? I just want to see Vienna's patern. It seems like it doesn't matter what kind of Hardships you have....they can just deny you base on the crimes.

Goodluck all !!!!

:confused:

[REDaja05]

my husband has a Misrep/ unlawful stay. He has been denied two times. But not just for that we have not proven Exterm hardship.

Olie your rigth about what they consider for a hardship you have to dieing for them to approve it. It seem like.

[samantha]

OMG, I just sended our ds230, and after reading all this I'm getting cold feet, Vienna is so hard, we don't have any med. hartships. I'm scared, it's so much eazier to be illegal, so not fair, don't think it's worth trying to what?, destroy my life,family, be a single parent, who are they to decide who should be happy and who should suffer- this law sucks.

[REDaja05]

you are right ! they are destroying our lives.... i wish we had someone to complain to,.... so unfair as US citiens we have no rights to this matter

You are so right, I wish we could complain. We are all suffering.

[cindy101]

I am hoping for a change in attitude with the upcoming elections.. That this type of suffering can come to an end.

I am very sorry to hear about this Ollie- does not seem like Vienna is trending very postitive right now.

Ladies... I can only say this because I belive this is what swayed the balance for my family... Stay close to the immigration liaison at your Senator's office. Get them to feel sympathetic to your case. I feel that Vienna does take that under serious consideration.

Good luck to all of you.. I continue to pray you are all reunited w/ your families soon.

I am hoping for a change in attitude with the upcoming elections.. That this type of suffering can come to an end.
