I just found the website for the Congressman that deals with our part of NC. I emailed him, will this be sufficient? I had to fill out personal details on the screen, like our case no., SS no. etc? I'm totally over dealing with USCIS! I eventually was put through to a supervisor earlier after I had had enough of their parrot like answers from their chart, bollocks to that!! I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR THEM SAY APRIL AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this supervisor, lovely voice, very soothing, absolutely useless headbonk.gif He just repeated the same ####### all the others do, so when I asked him to contact Vermont, 'Oh we can't do that.' Why I asked? 'WE have no way of contacting them' Oh I said, how is it that a customer (dis)service department has no way of communicating with the department they are answering questions for? No reply. So, I asked, is it true my case has been assigned to an officer as one of your colleagues told me last week? I have no way of knowing that ma'am, our screens don't show that type of information?' So how was it your colleague said it had been assigned? 'I don't know' he said. So I can only assume she made it up. That has upset me even more. Honestly, I wish we'd just got married and dealt with them after the event, this is utter #######, its discraceful that they are allowed to get away with it.

It makes me sick to say this but I think you are right Nick, the pattern has always been about 65-70% of a given moth approved (on VJ data) before they seem to move on to the next month. I think those with RFE's will hear soon, they will not be forgotten but the rest of us? We may as well make ourselves comfortable, we could be here a while whistling.gif

Sorry to hear about your delay...at least you know it won't be too long now.....not sure about the security check being done so soon?? I thought cases were just boxed and stacked on shelves until an officer pulled them....then did the security check?? Who knows how they work.....well, it seems some of them do wink.gif

luv.gif I wish magic 8 balls actually worked.

And I would like to see how many August fillers there actually are because if you try to look at some of the timelines you get re-directed to the forum page, and some people i have noticed have entered in the NVC dates and not the NOA2 dates, and they are still on IGORs as unapproved.


And considering there are far fewer September filers left than August filers I think a good chunk of them are people that simply haven't come back to update their timelines. And what about the people with more than one entry?? I still think its a great tool but maybe someone here (like admin) could do a little audit and email these people right back to April and ask for an update?? Just a thought.

Its true, being glad someone else has been approved is good not just for them, but you then know that Vermont are actually doing some work and that there is one less case infront of yours (obviously this bit doesn't count when they approve people way after you haha!)

Our day will come.....just wish I could see into the future to know when......its the not knowing that makes it soooooo much worse!

I have my ups and downs.....up until new year I wasn't stressed at all, i knew I wouldn't hear anything before mid January......then the waiting suddenly became unbearable...last week I was a total nutter, checking every 5 minutes...I was totally impatient and like a bear with a sore bum. I'm a bit better this week....I just hope i'm not like a few July and Aug filers that seem to have been over looked by USCIS. Now, who knows how i'll be next week girlwerewolf2xn.gif (i've been waiting for an excuse to use that one!)

Ok, guys, again, you are going to love or hate this one...Got the letter from the congressman's office signed by him yesterday:
"Dear....
I am delighted to hear that your petition had been approved. I am very glad THAT I could help you with this matter. If you need anything else dont' hesitate to contact me along the process."

Well! What do I say?
Right! Contact your congressman!!! It can't hurt!


I think i'll wait until i'm 6 months past filing before I go down that route.....I sincerely hope we won't have to.

They approved someone who filed in JULY yesterday....fair enough they had to wait until mid August for their NOA1 but they've still been waiting since July...there is no rhyme or reason to how they select the petitions......you can't approve Oct/Nov people and then, 'oh look, heres one from July I just found on my desk', it can't be right!!

Oh yes they do don't they?? I wonder what their working hours are normally?? I have applied much thought to this, when do they start? Wjat time do they finish...now they work Saturdays too! Oh, my other question...how many people sit approving applications all day?? And how does their filing system work...I think things are placed in boxes so the most recent is on top...therefore gets selected first and approved before the older files lower down!!

What's happening folks. It has been a while since I was on. Due to some unforseen circumstances out of mine and Iuliia's control. Well, the good news. Got visa approval here in Kiev today. I will say, what a breeze and slam dunk. A lot of running around to do in Kiev yesterday, but I hired a driver and he did us well. Raining at the consulate this morning. Whipped out my US passport, said she is with me, front of line and in. It pays of to be an arrogant redneck at times. Iuliia did not have to even explain what she was there for. (She made me wear one of my nicest suits and she was in a beautiful black cocktail dress. We could have been going down the red carpet. Iuliia was taking nothing for granted.) We had our ####### together, in order, handed it to them, an entire mountain of pictures, correspondence, and financial info. One hour later, Iuliia was called up. First question, was that him with you? Da. Call him here. Officer asked for my passport and looked at all of the stamps for Ukraine and laughingly said "Are all these to visit you?" She said "No, but I was not allowed to see any other girlfriends for past two years." He already had seperated pink copy. Done. Then to Fed-Ex. Security saw me, put us at front of line, 2 minutes, gone. 9:30 interview, and by 11:00, having first bottle of wine poured at Fellini's. I know Anna, not your favorite restaurant, but one of mine, for lunch anyway. Off to Kharkov tomorrow, then maybe a few final farewells in Lazova, then the big metal bird on the 12th to Raleigh. NC has been short a redneck.

Jen, sorry to read you still don't have an interview date. Try threats.
Anna, you beat us by a month. Cold and rainy in Kiev. Imagine that.
Nat, I hope you can get your interview soon. When I get back, I will tell some in PMs what the hold up for a month was. Personal issues, nothing legal or marital, but the Nov. 5 interview date had to be cancelled two days before it was suppossed to happen.

For those still waiting for interviews, good luck and I hope they come quick. If your ####### is in order, do not sweat it. If I can pull it off, it is easy to do.

Glad to see everyone here has things moving forward. I have been busy trying to get ahead of work and take care of my customers. I am leaving on Sunday for Kiev for the interview. I will be there for two weeks. Not looking forward to the colder weather, but the sacrifices that I make. We are returning on the 14th. I can not miss any more of deer season than that. It ends Jan 1st.

Nat, I am have seen some people celebrate Halloween in Ukraine. Good party. Also saw people dress up for New Years like it was a Halloween celebration. Good times.

Ana, I sent you a PM. Who knows, we can fight over which restaurant. For lunch, Felinis, for dinner, De Javu or Marakeesh. Maybe we should let you pick. Talk to you later. I know that you are busy.

Jen, Keep the faith, you will get your interview date soon. I've got the first round for you and Bo at the Ale House.

I remember two months ago and we were all complaining and whining about this process, including yours truly, now it is GO time. It is good to see the happy endings. I hope no one takes that one the wrong way. It was not meant as a joke, but if you understand it, you can take it as one. I am sure that I am not the only sick one. Then again, I might be.

I have a friend who just started this whole process. Filed last week. I feel for him and Julia. Yes, same name as my SO. I just hope in the translation they do not spell it Iuliia on her documents. We have to get that changed. Too many dumb rednecks will butcher it.

I will let yall know when the eagle has landed.

Ryan, Glad to see that I am not the only man that cracked. I was going to shoot out the tires of mailman to look for my NOA2. Now I have gotten lucky and received an interview date quickly. 10 days until I fly to Kiev. I noticed that your local office is Lynchburg. I was all over VA last week, too and including Lynchburg. I have 5 customers there, some in Roanoke, and others spread out all over the Shenadoah Valley. Beautiful country. I deer and turkey hunt some near Alta Vista and the Smith Mountain lake dam. My exes new husband is from that area. We redneck it up. Stay strong, drink a beer, everything goes so fast once you get the interview date. Yabba, Grabba, brew.

Ana, We will be in Kiev when you are. I think that we will have some down time, just waiting on our scheduled appointments. Where are you staying at? I am assuming with your friends, or maybe your sister. I remember you saying something about your sister living at one time near the Golden Gate. Maybe I am wrong. I do not know Iuliia's plans for me. Okay, I know some. Lucky me. We might be able to hook up and hit De Javue, Obriens, Marakeesh, or Golden Gate Pub. Just please don't let her know what a redneck is. That will scare her. You might be too busy. I will ask Iuliia, but maybe you could give her a little advice in person. It is up to you and Iuliia if this works out. No problem if it does not. Just trying to fill time.

Nat, Still hoping for you to get your interview date in the next 2 weeks. Florida in the winter is a little warmer. How much longer are you going to work? Yes, I will be at a Halloween party. I know that some people in Ukraine get dressed up and party, how about St. Petersburg? I think some wear the same costumes for New Years. This past New Years, about half of the people were in costumes. What a party. By the way, that was not me in the Halloween card picture. That was my date. Oh, now you know better.

Jen, Hockey is going strong. The Hurricanes are looking good again. From west Raleigh you can only be 10 minutes from the RBC Center. Better yet, just hang at the Ale House. Much cheaper beer. I am busy as all hell until I leave for Kiev, but by the time we get back I hope that you have your interview date. Like I said, Ale House.

Nat, The day after I scheduled the interview, Iuliia scheduled the medical by calling them. She did not even have the KEV#, but she gave them her name. She only has to give them the KEV# when she goes. I forget everything that she needs. She knows it and has it. We have been online checking the consulate website. I know she has her immunization records, passport photos, and I do not know what else. If you can do it the day before the interview, like in Ukraine, I would do it then. Save you a trip to Moscow. I do not know the Moscow consulate rules. The medical is good for 6 months in most places, maybe longer. Check the Moscow consulate website to get the number for the medical and call them. I am sure that they can tell you on the phone or on the website what you need. Best of luck.

Jen, Still working late hours? Is the current nor-easter giving you rain or snow. I know it is hitting Maine. Just not sure where in the Maritimes you are at. Hopefully it misses you.

Happy days will soon be here.

Nat, Oops. I made a mistake. Our interview is Nov. 5, not the 6th. I am arriving in Kiev on Nov. 3, Nov. 4 Iuliia has her medical, then interview on the 5th. On the 6th we are travelling to either Kharkov or Lazova. I am suppossed to go boar hunting that weekend. I hope that comes through.

Jen, I hope that they give you an interview date soon. You have patience. At least you are done with the medical.

Nat, I hope that you can get here before the holidays. Have you scheduled your medical?

Have a great day everyone.

Beer at the Golden Gate Pub is on me. I never knew the name of it until someone here told me. I googled it, saw the picture, that is it. My apartment for this trip is in the same building. Maybe not a good thing. Ha Ha.

Nat, Thanks for the e-mail. I will send you a private answer, but THANK YOU.

Now, I am feeling guilty because things are falling in place for me and Iuliia and others are left hanging. I am a team player, but I will not trade places.

Tell them that you need a NOV 5 interview so that you can translate redneck to English for the CO. Just trying to help you out so you can be here for Thanksgiving.

Nat, I do hope that your update is your NOA2. Way to stay positive. I am thinking that you are soon. I will be mad if you do not get yours this week. Iuliia is busy trying to wrap everything up. When I talked to her she is taking care of everything she needs for interview and for leaving Kharkov. She picked up her police certificate today and gave it to the translator. I found out she has only been in prison 3 times. JK.

Jen, I really wish that we were in a race. I would not mind losing. I know when I cross the finish line. Okay, winner buys the first round at the Ale House. I am happy to do it. Must be a night with a Hurricanes game on. Also, the coach of the Hurricanes, his youngest son is on my youngest sons hockey team. They are good people. I hope that you get some good news soon and an early interview. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hate drinking alone.
