QUOTE (dbears @ Feb 28 2008, 12:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> least i be misunderstood, i know not everyone in the south are rednecks and i think those rednecks jokes are just that, "jokes"... it is the same way, here in my place, Filipinos from other regions always use our diction here when they want to make a character the butt f joke in the movies.. but people from my region don't really take those seriously. we always know better... the same way, me and my fiance just laugh about redneck jokes, he even says he is a redneck sometimes ("here's the sign")... but it doesn't really affect him in any negative way. Oh by no means was I implying anything bad. Southern men are gentleman at best After living in the south for 20 years and being surrounded by them, and having many of them as friends, I wouldn't want it any other way. I have no complaints about "rednecks" or southerners. I can't say a thing, I managed to pick up a southern accent living here for so long. Most of my family back in the midwest calls me a redneck now!!! Like you ... to me it's all a joke (as you said)! In the end, none of these such things matter. What matters is you found each other!! And soon, you'll be in the same place!!!! Edited by Amanda+Stephen, 28 February 2008 - 12:10 AM.	Amanda+Stephen	Female	Scotland	2008-02-28 00:09:00

My tarheel prince said he's already looking into shirts for me, one with confederate flag on it or a shirt that says "I AM A REDNECK GIRL", i guess he just want to rub it on me .... he is really crazy sometimes but i love him so much and when he uses that 'totally redneck accent" (that is what he calls it), i just die laughing, it is way too funny. Mmmm, sounds like a southerner through and through. I won't hold it against him. According to him, I'd be a Yankee. I was born in the midwest, but I moved to this area when I was 13. I've left a few times on my career path, but somehow ended up back again And yes, the southern accents, I've had some good laughs over it too. But then again, mine has me laughing most of the time with his UK accent. And the word choices ... What can ya do?!	Amanda+Stephen	Female	Scotland	2008-02-28 00:04:00

In my dream they were asking for my son's school record to prove that he is indeed 11 years old (my son is just 8 yr old actually & i have a 10 year old daughter) I think this is really getting into me... as in really really getting into me.

QUOTE (gujraja @ Feb 27 2008, 11:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I also think there's a luck aspect to it, but I do have some questions and curiosities: Did you all file with the same method as suggested by visajourney? (I did) , or did you guys go through the legal route, or a combination of many websites? I feel this could affect our results the most. Is there a way to see your "touch" history ? Or can you always see the last one only as shown by the "last updated" column ? Does that mean you guys check everyday to see whether you've been touched ? thanks! -gujraja I found this board when we thought we were ready to file, then after reading the boards, I went OK, we SOOOOOOOO are not ready to send this off. I'm so glad I found VJ and the guides. It was lots of reading and trying to figure out how/what/where, etc. It's been helpful from so many standpoints. The guides are great. The people here are fantastic!!! And well, who else is going to understand you but other people going through the same process, the same crazy emotions, etc. It's kind of hard not to check, especially with the January approvals!!!! You keep hoping you might just get approved too!! The only way I know to see the "touch" is by the last updated column!	Amanda+Stephen	Female	Scotland	2008-02-27 11:58:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2008 filers	QUOTE (Robyn @ Mar 10 2008, 11:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now I know the normal thought and answer to this but I'm still scratching my head trying to figure it out. Since Friday my case has been 'touched' 3 times . I'm beginning to worry. It's still way too early for approval (at least that is what i keep telling myself of course) but still. I pray i'm not in for an RFE anyone else have thoughts?? Don't panic, nothing bad, just means someone has been handling your file. Probably looking over everything to make sure nothing is missing, submitting the namecheck, etc. It is exciting though, because it means it's being looked at. My file was touched about 3 times within the 1st/2nd week it was received, then 2 weeks went by and it got touched again, and now nothing Most people at VSC have been getting quite a few touches in the first two weeks! A lot of people don't even notice touches because they don't OC like the rest of us watching for it. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better not to have access to the USCIS site, it makes it much more anxiety filled, checking, and not seeing it touched, or getting excited because it got touched. In the end, most people say it means nothing, other than your file is being handled, which doesn't mean anything more than that. Hope this helps a little! Just think of it as progress ... you'll be fine!!!	Amanda+Stephen	Female	Scotland	2008-03-10 10:53:00
