Hey everyone, june is right around the corner and VSC has migrated to jupiter with our petitions it seems

MaryNYC- I'm doing great! enjoying the sunshine in NY and skyping MAD often!!!!

Cori & Rob- Thats a major bummer... as lame as it sounds, maybe it will help you focus on something else while VSC gets their act together.

Afoyoswa - Congrats on your graduation! Did the parentals attend?

Kimmie- That'll be a nice surprise I bet! Good thing you got to see your boo....I havent seen Frankie since march...and counting


VJ- I need a VJ App on my iphone

VSC- Pretty please, with cherry, sugar and caramel on top, approve OUR petitions this week (or soon thereafter) ......I've been a good girl all year, so Santa can come early .

Feb Filers - HUGS!!!!!

Rest assured that they will absolutely have to pick up the pace. The flood of "summer petitions" will not relent, and it's necessary that they do not fall behind. I think we should see above averages numbers of approval the next two weeks. I'm still hoping my timeline estimate holds true...We shall see.



Thanks for the positivity. I have tried to refrain from posting because I couldnt find it in me to mask my growing frustration with this process.

The missed birthdays, graduations, weddings, events...are pilling up and I'm starting to wonder if this would EVER end.

That being said, I'm pretty sure next week will be better. It HAS to be.

:huh:

Is there a pattern to these things at all? or do they randomly pick from the january pile?

I'm happy for the late january filer who got the NoA2 today, dont get me wrong, but there are others who applied a good 3 weeks before him/her and are yet to hear a word.

I guess I should have lower expectations ....

Does anyone need a job, because apparently VSC needs some extra hands.

What the heck??!!!


Can you tell my patience is wearing thin. I at least want to see SOME movement. Posted Image



This is becoming so ridiculous! With memorial day a few days away, VSC is taking their sweet time and it is working on my last nerve.
:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

I think something needs to be done...

Rally/Riot anyone?

Geeez., Darkmoonfaerie... it does seem like one hell of a day :( I just really hope that ex will be cooperative and sign the needed papers so you prolonged wait comes to a logical conclusion. It all will be over sooner or later, and fingers crossed you will have your darlings moved and settled by Thanksgiving!! (F)


Duly seconded. Its damn near unbelievable. I'm a lawyer and I cringe when I hear about things like this..

Oh, and the most exciting thing today: Aaron just called to tell me his birthday card arrived in the mail!!!! :D :D :D I sent it through snail mail on Apr. 24, and really didn't have a lot of hope it would get there at all, much less this quickly! His birthday is tomorrow, so the timing is PERFECT! YAY!

Yeah, they are still digging out and processing some really old petitions. But on the other hand, judging from the graph, they are very nearly done with December, so when/if they start processing any petitions at all again (!!! slow week, much? of course last week was, too, until the Friday extravaganza--both centers seem to really move in erratic spurts rather than anything steady), we should start to get a bunch of Januarys. But I'm really not expecting anything before mid/late June.

(Although has anyone noticed that their estimate range is getting smaller as time goes by? That's kind of comforting.)



Yeah it is comforting to an extent.

CSC approved an application today from January 5th. Could we really only be about a month away?



VSC is still handling december and even some november petitions....( yes there are 2 or 3 January petitions in there). I cant help but feel a little disappointed. I expected a slew of january petitions to be handled already. At this rate, it might be more than a month away for us.

Hopefully its not.

I hope you're right, Rose! And yes, I am starting to think about the next phase, too. I'm kind of hesitant to get Aaron working on the police clearance this early (I believe it's good for 3 months? it might be tempting fate to assume anything right now), but I have definitely been being more mindful about creating evidence of our ongoing relationship. We're talking on the phone and texting a lot more often, and I've even sent him a few things through the mail (remains to be seen whether they'll ever get to him!).

And in other news, I don't know WHAT was going on yesterday at CSC, but I like it!


I believe a police cert is good for a year, not 3 months.

At least at the UK embassy ...

I just realized I didn't post about my trip to the airport on Saturday! Suffice it to say that I am now about a million times more impatient, and a million times more hopeful, all at the same time. :wow:

It was also sort of...surreal, in the sense that: one minute, it was clearly Before, and they were apart with everything still up in the air, and the next minute, it was After and he was here and suddenly physically present in the U.S. and in their shared life, and all that separated those two distinctly different entire phases of life was the opening of a door. Amazing.

(And the highly sought-after, long-awaited K-1 visa? REALLY doesn't look like much!)

Haha, Nick&Ann--you had me all excited and thinking it was June 1 already! Darn.



Wow! I can only imagine how they felt. Soon enough everyone, soon enough.

Oh my god!!!! I was driving home and my phone chimed that I had a text. I was just going to ignore it, but I took a peek to see who it was from and it was those infamous digits that come at the top of a USCIC text.
I almost wrecked my car!!!! I got to the stop light, clicked on my mail, and there it was APPROVED!!!! I started bawling, Posted Image the car behind me was honking at me to go, Posted Image I forgot how to drive for a minute!!!! I have never felt happier in my life. I called Ray from my cell, and he knew as soon as he saw me calling because we never call, we text or skype....

Thank you guys!!! Approved!!!! Will write a proper review later but had a really good experience, no problems, very nice interviewer who asked the usual things (how we met, whether i wanted to work in US, if we'd spent much time with each others families, when our wedding was planned for). I was wiping away tears when she said i was approved and she said "stop it, or i'll start too!".

Called Andrew to tell him and I'm pretty sure he will need to be told all over again when he actually wakes up, i think he was sleep-skyping!

Thank you for all your support, jan filers, you all rock :star: I don't think it's sunk in yet but right now i'm gonna have a big glass of irish champagne (TEA!) xxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)
Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity
On July 20, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).
Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Just coming home from work like every other day. Saw the SMS, just said case updated but didn't say what.
I was trying to open up my laptop on the bus and get a signal. Then I realized I could just use the email app on my phone hahah.
Totally in shock, & beyond happy. I read the email over and over just to make sure. I don't know what to do with myself.
She wakes up in a few hours.... Thank God.

To those JAN peeps still waiting, you are in my prayers. Don't lose hope.
Made this image the other day, never thought I could miss someone so much.

They seem to be handing out a lot of RFE's... :(



I think these RFE's are their fault. They've had these petitions for so long and may have lost some info.

at least it shows they're working on them. Which is a good sign at the very least.
