I know...it seems like no one else understands the kind of stress we're going through. My mom is just like "Nothing will go wrong. Everything will be fine." I'm always like "there's no way to KNOW that."



Craig is the one who tells me that every night when we chat/talk on the phone, and I always start with "what if"... he is getting sick of it.... oh well, 8 more nights unsure.gif



Be happy 8 nights is nothing tongue.gif, when i saw my appointment letter with October 15, i was happy yes to have finally the interview date, but, same time i was thinking that it gonna to be sooooooooo long. I will be busy for sure. Preparing the move and stuffs. But as you all know. Even extremely busy we cant get it out of our head.

But yes nobody else around us can understand.



See, I'm to scared to prepair anything, in case something goes wrong. So I just have everything sitting around in the rooms, waiting to get thrown out or go in one of the two suitcases! I haven't even booked a flight, but check every night if the flights I want to take are still avariable, cuz Craig doesn't want me to book it just yet... ugh, it's been a month since I had everything sent out, can't believe its already September, wanted to be with him so bad this week.

smile.gif sounds good! It's killing the final wait... I've got just one more week until the Interview, but get more and more sick because I'm scared and worried. Did you tell them to give you a copy of the vaccination documentation worksheet?


I know what you mean! I'm so worried that now that it's so close something will happen to make it all fall apart. sad.gif I know the odds of anything going wrong at this point are VERY low...but logic isn't helping me feel better right now. wacko.gif



Agree!! Reading all the reviews on here for the past 2 1/2 years of the embassy hasn't helped at all. Sometimes I have the feeling I drive everyone around me nuts as well, and my Mom is just telling me "oh well, then you won't be able to leave Germany"... not funny mad.gif
Meanwhile work helps, and I'm happy that so many pass the Interview star_smile.gif

It was just so easy.
For Paris I chose Dr Meyers, because she was the only one available on phone when I called.
She was really nice. She even gave a little gift to my daughter.

Yeah things are actually going great right now. (crosses fingers) Tina recieved a letter from the Frankfurt consulate today telling her to go to the embassy page for Germany to get the forms. We are guessing that was packet 3 because of the form numbers she was asked to fill out, though maybe Craig and Julia could confirm what I think with that. We have pretty much had everything together for the check list already so Tina mailed it back today or tomorrow morning.

The even Better news is I get to see her tomorrow!! She is coming for 10 days because friends of ours our getting married and we are both in the wedding party. I'm hoping everthing with her flights goes smooth tomorrow.

And to anyone that is still waiting hang in there!, I know it's frustrating as hell to watch everyone else move around you.



Yap, thats packet 3 in Germany, really boring to tell the truth! Thought something great is coming, and then its a letter with your name, casenumber, birthday and instruction how to visite the website! Hope she had fun getting everything ready smile.gif

Okay so I was finally able to make some phone calls today, First was my congressman, who I had to leave a voice message with, then I called CSC to see if i could get a live person. After waiting over 20 minutes the guy answered. I told him my situation about being over 6 weeks and my case hasn't made it to the NVC. He said he has an idea where my file is, but will have to order it which could take about a week, and then have it mailed to the NVC which he said I should allow 30 days for.

Has anyone else heard of this, them having to "order" a file. I asked him what happened and he wasn't very clear on it. Just saying he was ordering it right now and that I should wait.

So, in the mean time I am waiting for a call back from the congressmans office. I'll keep updating when I can. unsure.gif unsure.gif



how weird ist that? sounds like they put it away, and just wait for the time to pass and you to call. If they had send it (like they state on the NOA2) it would be somewhere else. Or do you think they took copies of it, and now get those out of the basement?? wacko.gif sorry that it takes forever sad.gif

I have another question......i checked NVC website and the service for phone inquiry is from 7:30 A.M to 12P.M. only? is this true? one more thing, what is a touch tone phone? I may sound ignorant here but I'm not familiar with that kind of stuff.


No idea if its true or not, but its until 12A.M., which is midnight!


Oh good, it's until 12A.M. Please somebody tell me what a touch tone telephone is. Thank you.


phone with buttons which make tones/noise/sound when you press a number... each number a different beep sound... and some people still got phones with a dialing disk (no idea if thats the right word) where you have to turn it to get to the right number.

We just got our approval email! kicking.gif

I got up early to talk to my Fiance before he goes to bed, as I have every day for 17 months, and while he was checking the weather on the internet he suddenly said "oh my god"...."hold on a minute, oh my god".... "case status, approval notice sent!". CIS apparently sent the notification email at 8.45pm on Friday night. Maybe I don't hate them so much any more wink.gif

So the curse of the 'last touched on 22 Feb' bunch is dissolving slowly. I had not further touches, just an approval notice.

I hope all goes smoothly in London, we might just make that November 29th wedding after all.

Congratulations to those heading into the next phase and my fingers are crossed for all those still waiting.

Thank you all for being here and adding info and stats - our approval matched VJ estimate almost exactly, and I am deeply grateful for the thread of hope that this gave me in the agonies of waiting.

Richard was too busy yesterday and doesn't get a chance to call them... so he will do it today.

150 days today.
I feel bad as possible.

I feel like someone is playing with a voodoo doll... i feel hurt physically...
I feel like if someone just say me hello i will fall in tears...

Why we got the slowest adjudicator from the slowest office from the slowesst center... its just not fair sad.gif crying.gif



We are in the same boat. Our's reached 158 days today. It's so upsetting. Last night I had a huge fight with my fiance because I keep bugging him to call them but he kept telling me to wait and wait but he called them up anyway and he was told that our case is now with the adjudicator and that we just need to wait for a decision. I have been complaining a lot both to my friends, my fiance and VJ but now I'm tired of complaining and all. I stopped checking Igor's list as well because it only frustrates me more to see those ppl who filed after us got their approvals. Just hang in there. Who knows NOA2 is now on its way to your mail box. I remember when my fiance filed the petition my aunt told me that if every thing will work out that means we are really meant for each other. I hope it won't be the other way around because I love this guy so much. He is my first love and hopefully the last one. I waited 3 years for this opportunity and it sucks that I have to go through this long process just to be with him.


Yep, us too (members of the now legendary "last touched on the 22nd February" club - lol!). Like I said before though, there's not a damn thing you can do about it, so why cause yourself any extra grief? Me and 'er indoors are totally philosophical about it - it'll happen when it happens. Trust me, it's the only way to handle this issue without uber-stressing.


I know it. I just need to vent and talk about it. Peeps around me doesn't really understand all. And they keep asking when i will move.


oh I hate when they do that... first thing when i get to work they ask if something has changed, and no one ask anymore how you are, just if there is any update crying.gif
