At the end of the day it is what it is. We can't MAKE them approve anything. It will happen when they get to it. All the fussing and worrying in the world isn't going to change that. We ALL want to be approved and I'm sure we are all hopefull we will get our NOA2 by the holidays but if we dont...we don't. Just gotta be patient!

ok wee i dont know if this is good news for us or bad news ......but i read in another post where a couple called for their interview appointment and the earliest date she could get was january 5th and she called them on 11/28 ......so do you think my hopes of having her here next month will be realistic?


I would say you would be cutting that awful close. You haven't received your NOA2 yet...That file still has to go to NVC after it's approved here and then on to the embassy and all that. I suppose it's possible she could be here by the end of Jan but not to burst your bubble you really need to have realistic expectations here otherwise you are just looking at being disappointed.

Our petition was last touched on Sept. 21, then nothing, apparently it's been forgotten on some desk to collect dust. how can we expect to receive anything any soon, if nobody even touches it? crying.gif


I'm an October filer, and mine was touched the day after I got our NOA1. I think they were just moving it from one desk to another biggrin.gif honestly, I have no clue why, but it was scanned and probably put at the bottom of the pile.

The NOA2's will come! or RFE's will come ... eventually. blink.gif



Files are put in storage boxes after the initial processing (cashed cheque etc.). They do not sit on somebody's desk for 3 to 5 months, waiting to be adjudicated.

I'm even checking my "junk" mail folder on my email. At least if someone would see a touch we would know we were on the right track. It's only 8.30 there soooo they are probably sippin coffee and debating on how much work to do today. They(whoever THEY are) say that most people decide within the first 15 min at work how hard they are REALLY going to work that day. Lets hope they've all decided that they want to be productive employees smile.gif

hi jkminney
sorry but i am an october filer - though i think i know why you fell 10 spots - the stats now starts from january of 2009. no more from december 2008.

september filers get your noa2s so we could start getting ours!

Yeah Lady I'm aware of why I fell that many spots...hence the NEXT post which said NEVERMIND. Believe it or not I've actually had an extra month of getting all this figured out...I'm not a complete moron.



well.... you did ask the American government to look into the intimate workings of your life.... that sounds moronic to me.... oh wait... i'm doing the same thing....

yes, it's crazy how time flies. It usually freaks me out but for once Im sorta happy about it. Now if only we could get some approvals. JFC!

For xmas shopping, Im shopping on etsy right now. I wont find everything I need there but I just found some cool stuff for my girlfriends.



I've never heard of etsy...what is that?

They say if you don't like the weather in Iowa just wait a little bit it will change! It's the truth we had snow here the beginning of October...one really chilly week and since then it hasn't been too awful bad. I'm not sure if it's the calm before the storm. I could just skip the 4 months that it feels like winter here smile.gif If I could keep it from snowing until after I get back from England that would be GREAT! I dont wanna have to drive in that crappy stuff.

Yeah that's the same as our last update 9/21. Ahhh well I guess we are still way early than the 5 months on the USCIS website so I'm just keeping that in mind and staying positive! How about this weather!?! 50 some degrees and it's end of Nov. I hope we keep this kind of winter all year. I can handle 50 degree temps!

That's no joke. I don't care if they are approving someone with a March filing date as long as someone is getting approved. At least we know that they are working on them. I am really hoping that they push through quite a few to give us good news for the holidays. It would be a pretty sweet deal to know that the start of the new year was something that we are all looking forward to so much. Fingers crossed!

Soooo. All these CSC sept approvals are popping up, and I just gave myself a heart attack over it. How? Well, I was reading one of the topics, and both my text message and email tone went off on my iPhone, one right after the other. I looked at my phone and was like "NO WAY FLSKDJFLSKDJF APPROVAL!?" and darted across my room, grabbed my phone....

The text was from AT&T telling me my bill is past due (whoops.) and the email was my App Store receipt from iTunes.

sad.gif!!!!!!


Ohhhh that SUCKS! I don't have text messaging alerts so I dont have to worry about that. I figured email would suffice! Did you have a happy Thanksgiving?


Yeah, I did for the most part. I'm just happy that my trip to my grandparents was relatively drama free this year, lol.


John actually said to me...You aren't bringing all that luggage when we go back to England are you? HAHAHAHA! I said no no...but I buying all of it! He just shakes his head and I know he's thinking she's such a spaz!


So I went to Merle Hay this morning I had 2 stores to go to....Target and Old Navy...what a nightmare! I stood in line at Target for nearly 20 min for my ONE item! I never shop on Black Friday...that was a good reminder as to why I dont!



Wow. I'm glad I didn't have to go out in it. I didn't know if Old Navy was doing anything big or not. Did you at least get anything good out of it? biggrin.gif


Well I bought a 6 piece luggage set for 34 bucks which I thought was pretty good. It's not samsonite or anything but I figured for $34 might as well get it! Old navy had fleece sweatshirt things on sale for 5 bucks. So I got one for each of the kids and one for each of my parents. I didn't have a huge list of things to get I just knew THAT stuff I wanted. It took me longer standing in line to pay than to actually get the stuff I needed. I think my daughter wants to go shopping tonight sad.gif maybe by then all the hard core shoppers will be napping and we'll be able to go in and enjoy it. Doubtful but here's to dreamin!!



what does one do with a SIX piece luggage set?



Travel in style with a family of four? yes.gif wink.gif

I say it's a freaking bargain! good.gif score!

Geeez. Another Matt. This is getting a little freaky, lol!



I know, right? the fifth one in September or something? lol


With the holiday tomorrow my motivation has taken a serious dive. I'm leaving work in 25 minutes because of an unexpected trip to the orthodontist for my daughter, then I have to go to the store to get Thanksgiving feast food...that place is going to be a nightmare.

I think I'll have John make a fire tonight and we can relax before I'm a cookin up a storm! John has already been here a month. We have another month to go before we go back to England. I hate thinking about the fact that his 2 month visit is half over and I'll only have a week with him back there. I can't wait till all this is done and we don't have to worry about how much time we have left to spend together.



I just got back from running all sorts of errands... 4 different stores, supermarket, co-op to get fair trade chocolate and coffee (good deed wink.gif), petfood shop for the dog... After 3 trips from the car to the house to bring it all in, I was really hopeful I would have a nice reward in my inbox. But no. Not even new approvals. Im going to make myself a mean bloody mary. There. And I will try to peel myself off VJ for the next 4 days. Get my mind off all of this.

I wish I had a fireplace!! so cozy. I wish it was T-day here too. I'd have an excuse to get drunk and do nothing for the next few days!

Is the british embassy fast at giving interviews? Because if they are quick, you might not have to wait that long until John makes it back for good. Im still hopeful we could get the NOA2 by mid-December, or at least before the holidays... you'll be back in January, right? Then an interview by February? Can he come pretty much as soon as he gets his visa?


Frenzyheart, will you post some of your engagement pix?? smile.gif Im sorry your man had to leave already. It always goes so fast. sad.gif Do you have any plans to see him again in the near future?

Im not even planning our wedding anymore. It was too much stress. I want to do it at the courthouse fairly soon after I get there, then we'll plan something nicer and with more guests later on. I'll just be so happy to be with him and not wonder for how long we can be together!



I think the British Embassy is fairly quick in comparisson with some of the others. The big thing is even though I've been married before I've never has a "real" wedding. It was a court house deal and it's not to take away from people who do it but for me....I just want to be able to do it the way we want and have family. When I got married before it was just like any other day and I want my friends and family there to celebrate our happiness. So John and I are planning on June 5th. We figure if we have an interview Feb/March time and he comes beginning of April then we'll still have close to a month after we get married to send off all the paperwork. I still have to fire my lawyer that we used for the K1 process...that's an entirely different story smile.gif The biggest thing for me is just knowing all this is done. If we had to wait a month after the visa was approved we would be ok...simply because we know it's done and we don't have to worry about it. I'm one of those people who's nature is to worry so I think for me it's harder than it is for John...him being Irish he's very go with the flow and easy going soooooo thankfully he reminds me to not worry it will be fine and I try my best not to.

I'm baking my pumpkin pie right now. I can't wait to put 2 big scoops of coolwhip on it! It amazes me how much it costs to have 1 big dinner...I'm gonna have to pimp someone out to pay for my turkey and stuffing!

Hey all,

I check this thread out all the time but just registered to finally post.

Canadian male here with American female fiance, we sent our application in mid-September, go the notice that it was received, but checking out case status we just keep getting "pending."

How many September filers have been approved already?

Getting a bit nervous... We're really hoping for a mid March wedding.


CSC has only approved 2 september filers. If you want to keep track you can go to Immigration Timelines at the top of the page and click on Igor's List. That will give you a list of the last 15 approved as well as all the people currently waiting...find your number on that list. Once you click on the timelines if you go to the left of that page there is something that says View my timeline, after clicking on that if you scroll down it will give you an ESTIMATED date as to when your petition may be approved. This is based off other peoples timelines and when they are updated.

Not to rain on your parade but if you have to go through Montreal apparently they are known for very slow appointments for interviews so I hope you are both flexible as to that mid March wedding.

Once again I'm amazed at people. She's mad he told private details regarding their life but she's on here moaning about it and going into further detail than he did....#######?

Hmm!! sounds like a great distraction from my uneventful day. Where can one find this trashy thread?




Eeeer... found it. Kinda made me cringe. ohmy.gif She does reveal a lot more than he ever did. And says he loves her and they are in a good place now. {or were!}


Talk about paranoid...she's a bit on the mental side I think. I just couldn't believe she was on there asking for advice on what to do? I mean WHAT exactly did he do wrong? It's girls like that who make it hard on the normal ones...well as normal as we are capable of being! HA!


No kidding. She does sound extremely paranoid. Feel kinda bad for her as it's probably out of her control, but still. I had a friend like that, she always focused on the one thing that was said that could be construed negatively, ignoring all the clearly positive messages around it.
On the other hand, women like that make us look sane and stable. innocent.gif wink.gif And its makes me grateful my relationship isnt f@cked up.
BTW, I liked your comment! laughing.gif


I guess that's true! We are sane stable and have healthy relationships.

As far as the comment goes...it seems like most people on this site and really friendly and helpful and that's great! BUT...in SOME cases I just sit here shaking my head thinking are you f'n kidding me? I am REALLY bad about being smart about things and in that situation the nicest thing I could possibly say and still let her know I thought she was a complete moron was that particular comment. Under normal circumstances it would have been WAY more harsh! HAHAHA

Ok did anyone read the thread about the chick who's mad that her husband posted comments on here with a different name and was basically talking about their private life on this forum? Once again I'm amazed at people. She's mad he told private details regarding their life but she's on here moaning about it and going into further detail than he did....#######? I don't understand peoples though process!



Hmm!! sounds like a great distraction from my uneventful day. Where can one find this trashy thread?

It's about bloody time. Roll on September filers. Hopefully we have a good week coming up. Would be nice to see a few approvals before Thursday gets here so we can all stuff ourselves sick and actually not feel like pulling a Mary Kate Olsen afterwards!

so back to Panda Watch day 75 (aka the visa journey)


Wow. it's kind of amusing and ironic that you say it like that! I have an iPhone, and as such, have a countdown app sorta like the countdown in my signature. What makes this so ironic is that the wallpaper I use for it is this:



(looking at that makes me realize that I forgot to put my phone on the charger last night. BLAST wacko.gif)


I had to actually sit and count...I'm not fancy enough to figure out how to have a countdown thing! I busted out a paper calendar! I'm kickin it old skool smile.gif

ouch kizza, you have to go to Montreal? they are struggling sad.gif I'm very thankful I get to go to Van, we're aiming for a May 22nd and as long as CSC hurries I should be fine... I'm not in stress mode yet... but I can feel it coming!!


yeah that's why I'm a little anxious to have things moving.

But, from what I saw recently, they realise people's lives are on hold and are trying hard to cut through the backlog. A big bunch of people got interviews in Montreal in the last while and Im really hoping that it wont be another 4 months before they set up another batch of interviews. But I read somewhere that right now Montreal in the top 5 slowest consulates/embassies in the world. unsure.gif

If it takes 5 months for the petition approval and 5 months to get an interview, I wont get my visa til July. cray5ol.gif


Doesn't it seem strange that someplace like Montreal has one of the slowest processing times? You have to wonder why that is. I'm not being funny now but there are SO many other embassies that have HIGH HIGH fraud and they don't take that long so why in the hell would it take so long in Montreal???? I guess not a lot we can do about it really. Sit back and hope.

ohh and jkminney I'd love some fresh baked goods!!! LOL... maybe when we're all in the US we'll get together and have bake sales for the CSC medical marijuana fund.... we can help others who apply after us not have to go through the wait like we did... we'll just make all the adjusters high and give em a stamp that says approved and for every puff they have to approve one application...

seriously I think we could do some good in the world tongue.gif


Well I've got my list of things I need to pick up for my bakeathon but I didn't include hash for brownies. I am goofy enough without having to enlist the help of any drugs! I'll tell ya what you cross the border with the hash and I'll make the brownies HAHAHA! Good luck and don't be callin me to bail ya out because I'll say I'm sorry I have NO idea who that person is smile.gif

Speaking of that...funny story...Johns dad bought a van off some fella years ago and unbeknownst to Johns dad the van was stolen. So he was pulled over and the police arrested him and they brought him to Johns house and basically said to John do you know this man? John responded No I've never seen him before in my life! HAHAHA! They took his dad to jail. My mom would have killed me!

FML stands for "F" my life. I dont know why it would show an I-130 on there. I didn't check the timeline either. There were 2 approvals for yesterday listed on there. At least it's something. My date has obviously changed quite a bit too but everyone just needs to keep in mind even if it takes till feb we are STILL within the guidelines of the processing time and as much as we like to think it will take less time than that we need to be sensible and know that it may take that long so no big deal.

The movie was good, although I would like to slit my wrists with a butter knife today because we didn't get home till 2.45 this morning and then of course I didn't fall asleep right away and had to be up at 6 for work...booooo! I'm drinkin diet pepsi like it's going out of style...caffiene is my friend smile.gif



@ Frenzyheart, very happy for you that Matt made it without any issues! Enjoy your time together!! kicking.gif

FML... I like. I'm quite a fan of "F*** me" too. I find the term rather eloquent.

Sorry you feel like ####### today jiminney, at least it's Friday (presuming you work mon-fri) and your daughter probably thinks your the coolest.

I know we should be happy with anything under 5 months for a processing time, but I have to admit Im hoping it will turn up within 3. With the wait in Montreal, if we're approved in December, Id still easily be looking at a March interview. And it is totally feasible. Its not like there are months and months ahead of us.


Maybe they will do a big push before the Christmas/New Year holiday just to give a us happy holiday season....I would be more than happy to contribute to their "medical" marjuana fund if they would. Whatever it takes. I'm not below bribes smile.gif I'm going to be having a holiday cookie/candy bake off with my friend on the 13th of December. We always go crazy and make a bunch of #######...I don't even like sweets that much, but I put them in fancy tins and give them as xmas gifts. Maybe I'll try that approach with the CSC...get my petition processed and you can have a tin of cookies!

As for my daughter thinking I'm the coolest...she better since I let her stay home from school this morning while I schlepped to work red/blurry eyed. I should have told her and John that I will be expecting dinner when I get home tonight, although I may not have a home left if I leave it up to those 2 to make dinner!

That one approval was an I-130 (married).

I see now my timeline has backslid again to Dec. 21-Jan.3. Not long ago it was Dec. 5-15? It's slipped almost a month now. I can't imagine how much more it will slow down next week, the week of Christmas, and the week of New Year's if it still isn't approved by then.

FML.

I think if she's not here by March I'm just moving there.


Are you sure? why would they be in the K1 - 129F list? For some reason I cant access their timeline, so I cant tell.

I'm staying positive, our timeline can get pushed ahead as fast as it was pushed back. yes.gif

what does FML stand for?

FML Fluorometholone
FML Ferret Mailing List
FML Famous Last Words
FML Full Maximum Likelihood
FML For My Life
FML Follow My Lead
FML Flexible Membrane Lining
FML Fiji Muslim League
FML Fashion Mailing List
FML For My Lover (Tracy Chapman song)
FML Florida Mathematics League
FML Forget My Life

Ummmm I would rather watch the movies have you seen the fellas they have in it? OMG! Although I'm sure one is young enough to put me in jail for thinking he's that hot but we'll pretend he's old enough....A few more years and I could be considered a cougar smile.gif



ah-hahahaha!

I think they say a 9 year difference qualifies you as a cougar. Over 45 years old, or a nine year gap with the yound fellow. Ive looked into it! ha! laughing.gif


HAHAHAHA! Well I dont qualify with the over 45...not even in a few years but I'm sure there is at least a 9 year age difference between me and that Taylor Lauftner kid sooooo I can officially be a cougar. Ahhhh something I've been working towards for a while. Finally...it's happened smile.gif I should have a drink to celebrate...oh wait...he's not old enough to drink I guess that's out!
