Hopefully someone will appreciate this. While time SLOWLY ticks as some of us wait for our NOA2, there is something AMAZING we can do:

Watch Seasons 1-3 of Bewitched on Hulu! This find made my day!

http://www.hulu.com/bewitched

LOL- that's awesome. I'm going to have to share this with my coworkers; I work at Hulu! I just started three weeks ago and it's been an amazing experience so far! NatPatBen, I believe you may have earned a shout out at one of our biweekly meetings! :-D


laughing.gif Sounds like it would be a fun place to work, based off their name & commercials. What do you do there? (If you don't mind sharing.)

I don't mind at all. And without boring you too much, I'll just say that I'm tasked with looking at all processes critically and find ways to make them more efficient. It's a great job and the most fun work environment I've ever had or heard of!

We got approved today. I still can't believe it. No touches. Not even a breath. Yesterday I was so depressed I was going to stop checking timelines for awhile, sure that we'd be the couple still sitting here next year...

BUT WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!!!
wow.gif

Congrats to all the other approvals, and Bono, yours is around the corner. No way I got mine and yours isn't coming any minute. *hugs*

Hey! Look at that!! Congratulations!!! kicking.gif That's awesome!

And thanks for the well wishes! I hope you're right blush.gif

I know what you mean and I feel the same way. Now that December is 50% finished, I'm getting some mixed feelings: Either we're closer to getting approved than ever, or we made a mistake somewhere that's set us back God-knows-how-long! blink.gif

But we're in this together. And I know that we'll be approved soon! I remember when I joined this forum four months ago, you made me feel part of this group right away and I appreciate that. For better or worse, we're still on the same page together. Hopefully we'll get our approvals together, too (and soon!) smile.gif

Congrats on all the approvals guys. So glad you're that much closer to being with your loved ones.

Are there many early December filers still left without Noa2's?

Yep! Right here! :-( I got my NOA1 on 12/8

You're not alone! But hey - still two more days left this week.

Does anyone else think that VJ's new forum layout (with the response tree broken down at the bottom rather than the full thread) is terrible? Its makes it impossible to read the thread like a conversation or discussion and just ends up separating the replies, bastardizing the comments from the context. ....not happy.... mad.gif


Not sure what you're talking about. I haven't noticed a change. I think there are forum settings you can adjust.

Wow - I can't believe we're finally at the point where we're talking about NOA2s and the packets thereafter! Fantastic!

- The original K-1 Guide (http://www.visajourn...om&page=k1guide) offers some details about what to include.
- Here is the download page for all K-1 forms, including post-NOA2 forms (http://www.visajourn...om&page=k1forms)
- And I thought these sample interview questions were worth looking at, too (http://www.visajourn...age=exampleq#k1)

All the best!!! - JB

PurpleFrog, I agree. I'm thinking mid- to late-April for the NOA2. VJ estimates are always in flux, but I think that date range seems accurate.

I'm wondering what's up with California. I may be moving out there before my NOA2 and seeing them slow down now is a bit concerning. Someone with the same NOA1 date as me (12/8) has an NOA2 estimate of mid- to late-March!! But I bet that'll change with the CSC's productivity dropoff.

I just wish I knew why the approval speeds were so fickle!! I feel like if I understood the process, and took the mystery out of it - made it more transparent - I don't think I'd be so anxious. I'd just relax and let the wheels of government churn!!

In any regards - whether I move to Cali or not, I will stay active in this thread and we'll continue this process together as a team!!

Let me extend my official, belated welcomes to BR_Joshua and Peet. Glad to have you. I have to say, I get a sense of pride in seeing how active our group is, especially compared to other threads comprised of folks who've filed at the same center and month. So - the more the merrier! Welcome aboard.

Hmmm.... mega-ultra-super-galaxy class yacht criuse ship, you say? Sounds like you might be talking about a mothership:



or maybe this is more your pace:



Actually, as I'm sitting here watching these two (two of my favorites bands, no doubt), it makes me wonder who is the better guitarist: Jimmy Page or Eddie Hazel. I know Jimmy Page is more commonly recognized, but once you hear Eddie Hazel you'll see why its a tough question. What sort of music do you all listen to?

LOL - If any of you see Eddie, btw, tell him I want my hat back
