So........ I told my parents tonight.

And...... THEY ARE HAPPY!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Actually I told my mom first, and she reacted with "I had a feeling this was coming! Your dad and I have already talked about what would happen!". As for my fear of her being upset, she said that was absolutely silly because all they ever want is for me to be happy. smile.gif

I tried to explain that there was a small glitch because of my income (and that I need them to be co-sponsors), but before I could finish, she said "Just show me where to sign!!". We then went and sat at the table and I went over the I-134 form and tax transcript forms. She asked if I wanted HER to tell my dad. Before I could answer, she called him in and said, "Gerry's moving over here and they're getting married. Come sign this." laughing.gif

So yeah, if you need more proof that all went well... my mom has already offered me my grandmother's wedding ring for me to use, asked me to model my dress, and started to plan for his arrival. She's even going to start looking now for an inexpensive car for him to use, and poke around for job leads. Heck, she even hinted at more grandchildren (I don't think so!).

My dad did react with "I just wish you could get to know him more in person first, and spend more time getting to know one another." I said "ME TOO!! (duh) And if you are going to buy me the plane ticket, I'll gladly fly over there and do it." He got my point. Hehe.

I'm just so happy tonight. One more major hurdle behind us. One step closer to being happy together.



And... our returned RFE has been received at VSC and case processing has resumed. innocent.gif


I'm so glad it worked out well for you ... I'm sure you feel a weight off your shoulders now. I was a little concerned about telling my parents six months ago, they had not met Stephen in person back then. They took it better than I expected -- my older brother gave me the 20 question, my parents just were happy. They met him a few weeks later and they love him! They can't wait for him to be in the US permanently.

Sometimes parents are just afraid to let go, and more afraid of their children being hurt. Again, I'm so glad they are being supportive for you! good.gif

Counting down the days for your trip Dawn ... I know you've got to be super excited!!!!!

Wooooohoooo ... unexpectedly, after not really checking today ... check my email 10 minutes ago, and we had our approval. We are both sitting here a little bit stunned ... almost in disbelief.

Thanks to all of you for continuous support & friendship, this place has made the waiting a little easier smile.gif

Here's hoping everyone who is still waiting gets theirs very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see you back Gaye ... the unplanned break from the net was probably good ... considering approvals keep rolling in (for some!). I too had hoped that maybe after the flight over here and then away for Friday/Saturday morning, that when we got in Saturday afternoon, we might see an approval, but nope.

I'm very hopeful though, I am sure we will all get ours soon. good.gif

With the crazy approvals/timelines, I know actually being with him for a short while will actually calm my anxiety and insanity over hoping for the approval!!

Have a safe and UBER happy trip Amanda. At least you will be spared the agony of checking for something that keeps saying "received and pending" good.gif

Be sure to have the grandest time with your S.O. rose.gif


Yes, I'm looking forward to a short change of space & pace! Although I have to work from there, I do have 2 three day weekends. He's got next week off, so I suppose he'll be distracting me while I try to work laughing.gif

I'm just not looking forward to the 10 hours worth of flying, but thank goodness I only have 1 stop and a 1 hour layover. I suppose it could be much, much worse. I'm sure I'll surface back on the boards a little bit while gone. It will be good to get a temporary break from the insanity of the web and constant checking & hoping for NOA2 ...

But I'm sure one of us will end up needing to check .... biggrin.gif So we'll still be dealing with the agony of "received and pending" just not being able to obsessively check on it wacko.gif

You know I looked at it again ... sorry, I do programming for my job laughing.gif debugging stuff is a daily thing for me. Anyhow, I see them in the code, but for some odd reason they don't show in the list for me once they are in an actual post. I dunno wacko.gif

Did you guys see the post on the K-1 General Discussion forum about how "unfair" everything is? I didn't know that celebrating and supporting each other on our own thread was being insensitive to CSC filers, but someone has taken offense...I don't stop into the CSC thread and celebrate, THAT would be insensitive...

The way I look at it, if you don't want to read it, if it makes you feel bad, don't read it!!!

Yeah, I've seen it too! I make a great effort to support everyone, regardless of what center. I realize, those of us at VSC might be in a luckier boat, because they are moving faster, but it's the same process and we know what it's like. My hearts go out to CSC filers - we might wait less time, but we still have to wait. Regardless, I plan on being around to support fellow January/February filers, regardless of the center.

Hmmmm... maybe we could stay at your place in order to save on hotel charge wink.gif .. j/k...

Hope we would really be able to visit the place someday.



You will!! You will! I'd love to go back -- I went as a child with my parents and brother, and went again in high school with a school group. But I'd love to go again as an adult. My brother just took his wife and daughter there last year for her birthday. One of teammates at work just went with her husband and kids. They have fabulous family vacation packages!!! smile.gif

But so you know in the meantime - Busch Garden Williamsburg is about 3 hours away from the Raleigh area. And Kings Dominion (a little north of Richmond, VA) is a few hours away too. They aren't the same as Disney World, but they are amusement parks too!! smile.gif

I have very few photos of us actually together (as one of us is usually behind the camera), but I have plenty of us separately at the same location! That counts, right? tongue_ss.gif


Indeed, great photos.

I am in the same boat -- we have very few photos of us actually together -- we've got the bad tourist shots (meaning, we asked another person to take a photo, and well they were horrible!! laughing.gif) I do have a lot of photos of him, and he hates having his picture taken, but I'm the one who always has the digital camera!! I'll have to see if I can dig any up!

Although I do plan on getting more when I see him next week, going to make him get over his hate of pictures of himself!!!

Hi Amanda, thanks for that. I actually create and maintain websites, write scripts and fix computers for a living so I do know I can hopefully recover my info at some stage but this was all the night before we filed soooooo that's why so much stress. Thanks tho, I appreciate the info!


I figured you were computer savvy after having read your post!!! I just thought I'd share the info on Knoppix, because I had never heard of it. I do programming and have for 10+ years, and still had never heard of it, and I thought it was a pretty cool piece of software.

I can only imagine how that was for you, I mean I went into a panic and it was 2+ months before we were filing. I'm sorry you had to go through the stress, but very happy you were able to get it all back together!!! I'm sure you'll be fine with everything you did send.

So now you can de-stress a little with it sent off. I just am happy to see you got to the point of filing. You've been around offering encouragement and support for all of us filing before you. Thanks for that!!!

Here's to a speedy journey for the two of you!!! good.gif

Hi folks.... well, we're official!

Well, as stated... we've finaly got the paperwork sent yesterday and we're stoked about that! It was no easy task though!



Congratulations!!!! I know you've both been waiting a long time for this ... I'm so happy for both of you.

Side note - I know the frustration of the computer problems, ran into a similar situation, but months before we filed. I found some software called Knoppix (it's basically like Linux) and with a flash drive and the Knoppix DVD I burned, I was able to recover all our old emails, chat logs, etc. and everything else I wanted off the harddrive, then reformatted it. So if need be, do a search online for Knoppix, you might be able to recover everything you need/want (just an idea).

Congratulations again, I hope the process goes quickly for you both and all the other April filers!!!! good.gif

I can only imagine the stresses in moving to a new country, and looking for a job, etc. I worry about my job being enough salarywise until Stephen can find a job. Especially with the other immigration expenses and upcoming wedding expenses too! wacko.gif But I've got faith in myself, and him, that we will find our way through (or live like hobbits!!!)

And yes, US staffing agencies were very helpful to me when I packed up my life, without a job, and moved to Houston the first time. There are a lot of different resources to help you find jobs, it's just knowing about them, or taking the time to find them!!!

One time, years ago, I changed the heading to say "Look At Me, Look At Me" laughing.gif Got all kinds of crazy hits that didn't apply to me at all!!! You are not alone in the restlessness, I hate when the economy is like this. I'm even heartfelt about Stephen coming here, knowing the job market is tight right now. He keeps telling me he doesn't care what job he gets at first, but that it will be easier to get another one having one to start with!

Houston weather??? I miss Houston weather ... I must be crazy!!!! After living there 6 years, I just got used to the heat & humidity!!!
