Dani,

I am sure Chris would feel really jealous. LOL

Oh well, I am off to securing some documents and clearance here to have everything ready when the approval comes. Still I believe I am the reigning queen of IMPATIENCE! heheheh

Take care everyone!

Dani,

I think you are extremely patient who has turned around and decided to be impatient because of all these madness! LOL

I do it at work too... and when I get home... I check it again. Even when I am eating, it's what plagues my mind. My fiance is getting jealous over USCIS... LOL

Lawyers - I want to be one, but I will be different. heheheheheh

Colin,
Ok so that NOA1 hard copy is not needed. But be aware that oyou need the hard copy of the NOA2 - that is actually something that Jess will send you to bring to the interview at the embassy. Have you registered an account online and track if your case has been updated?

Thanks!

Hi Colin,

Cancelled - a check that has been encashed needs to be in "cancelled" status to avoid duplicates in the future. This is just a banking term.

Ok, the way I see it, your check has been cancelled August 21? That means, they have an EAC and yes it is indicated on the cancelled check. Meaning, if thirty days have passed and you haven't received the hard copy in the mail, then you ought to call that number and tell them you haven't gotten anything.

Hope I answered your question.

Fred and Dani,

You have just met an extremely impatient person who checks that website 3-4 times times a day! Say hi to me! LOL

Oh, those lawyers - I wanna call them scammers. smile.gif

*nod nod*

That's why I ended in the hospital. I so badly want to be with my fiance. The waiting game is awful - one particular things I totally suck at as I am a very impatient person and I am used to calling the shots and controlling things and getting it done my way. Pretty powerful yeah - but this whole thing is a humbling experience.

god will hear me out though. SO I keep the faith. smile.gif

Any count down over 30 days... just seems like an eternity, probably better not to think about it at all until it's closer, a 90 day countdown probably puts you pretty close to going for a visit around the time you should get a NOA2... My next visit with my fiancee will most likely not be scheduled until her interview date is set... if I had a count down it'd probably be something like 150 days (and hopefully that's not hopeful thinking only).

All these touch reports make me want to go to the USCIS site... just in case!... but so far they are only VSC filers seeing them... once a CSC filer get's a touch I'll be on the USCIS site 3 or 4 times a day even if I don't expect to see anything.

Waiting sucks, but the more we focus on that, the longer it'll seem to take.

Hi Colin,

There is a way for you to request for the NOA1. My fiance was advised by the lady he talked to on the phone when he called in to have my name corrected on the NOA1 that normally the petitioner should call when the hard copy of the NOA1 has not been received after 30 days of receipt in the mail. That is so unfair. I hate it when that happens. How cruel can it get?

Have Jess call this number and tell them you need their action on your case: 800-375-5283. Take note of the EAC number on the cancelled check and register your case online via the USCIS website that way you can start tracking your case even without the NOA1 hard copy for now.

I am very happy that you and Jess will get to see each other again. Enjoy it and make each moment last- you won't even need places to go. You have each other... AWWW, that's really sweet of her.

Take care!

Hey Mark,

I have a feeling you will have one soon. It's really weird. I don't know how the whole system works there. Maybe they have people for different states? Oh well, it's not for me to know.

The bad thing though is because their automatic email notifications are not working. Any advise? That is really inconvenient.

Dani,

That's one of the things I look forward to. If only it isn't much of a pain in the a$s to go to the US anytime then I would be there every time I get the chance. At least my holidays will not be lonely. smile.gif

Hope I could meet you and Emilia for the holidays.

I know EXACTLY how you feel sis. You too Dani.

For me the hardest bit was watching Ewok change the predicted dates for our approval, so now my timeline just screams at me to enter my NOA1 date, a document we never got, and doesnt do anything of the slightest help.

Fred is goingt o a birthday party with his family. He is busy catching up with lovey.

Mara and I were just talking about how frustrating it is with all this petition and visa #######. What else do we have to prove. The people in their customer service hotline are not even helpful. On top of that, you have to wait forever to get a live person on the line. Stupid, crappy, useless process!!! This is so aggravating. I honestly, feel so drained and left behind. All the more I can't function well. I want to have something to look forward to, but with all the horror stories going on and other people with similar timelines gone and approved - is there really something to look forward to?

I want to cry right this very minute. I am so tired.

Sarah, you may need help from customer service. My fiance is with ATT and it shows the phone number and all so that's kinda weird with you. Sorry for the bummer. sad.gif

QUOTE (Yader&Sarah @ Jan 7 2009, 06:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
This is a totally random question, but does any one else have ATT wireless?

My previous cell phone company got bought out by ATT and now I'm confused.

Previously, when I printed my phone records, the numbers from incoming calls were shown, but now, it appears with ATT it only says, INCOMING CALL. which sucks, because you can't tell which ones are coming from Nicaragua. It only says when I call INTERNATIONAL, which is rarely, because I use a calling plan (I copy records from that too, but I know it's good to have direct).

Anyway, does anyone who has ATT know a magic way to make the incoming number show?

Thanks!

Uhm... talking about encouragement, I surely need some too. I hope and pray for everyone who don't have their NOA2s yet. I am also praying for all the rest who are going through the medical and interview phase. Have faith - you'll never go wrong. Sometimes, God has to feel your trust with all your heart, or make you do so, before giving you what you want.

Hey Dani! Missed you too, so much! My man is heading home as of this writing. He said, he'll call me when he gets to Detroit at 130pm EST Jan4. Oh well, here I am again. Back to the lonely times of counting days as to when the NOA2 is coming. The best Holidays ever sis. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Being with him is my addiction. Whew! And yes, crying moment at the airport when it was time for him to leave. I just absolutely adore him. God has blessed me with a wonderful man. Will send pics to your email, but I would have to resize it.

Gifts received for Xmas - just wanna share:

Canon EOS 450D with lenses and some other useful gadgets. Love it!

Zune MP3 120GB and some gadgets along with it.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Body and Scents Pamper Collection... oooh!

An engagement ring! Pretty pretty!

And so much more! Mom told my man he was spoiling me too much, I might get used to it.
