I've been trying to get marriage visa things completed since May.
http://nvc.state.gov/ http://nvc.state.gov/
The payment system was down for almost the entire month of May. After finally being able to get through step 2, I've been stopped constantly. The entire social security website was down one night this month. I currently need my tax transcripts from the IRS. The online system for printing them out is down indefinitely and even the form to request they be sent by mail was constantly throwing up a technical error has occurred message.
- shepbook 11y agoI know that pain. Took me and my wife almost 5 years, near $2,000 and three interviews to get her green card. And that was with her already being in the states when we met and got married. Keep at it. The feeling when it's finally over is great.
- kalleboo 11y agoThese stories always fascinate me. At that point why even bother validating the grounds for the visa - anyone who would put up with a process like that deserves it! I immigrated to Japan - a country often held up as an example of xenophobia and resistance to immigration, and it only took a week for my spouse visa paperwork to be examined and approved. The only cost was for translations of some paperwork from home ($40 at the embassy) and then $20 for the residence card once I was approved.

- artmageddon 11y agoMy wife and I are trying to do the same thing, we're very close to applying for Adjustment of Status(for her), and are scrambling to make sure we don't miss any nitty-gritty details, which is proving to be quite the headache. Can you elaborate on why it took it as long as it did?
