It looks like they are starting to do some november filers not much consolation to the 30+ october filers still waiting.


Actually, if you take into account some of those October filers haven't logged in since 2007 I'd guesstimate that there are 24 October filers left - of which we are numero uno.

They are saving ours for St Paddy's Day!!!

Ok Mercedes called tonight and spoke with a woman who was gruff and unhelpful.

Anyway, get this. They had my address as the one in Oregon. We checked back over our forms and we were correct - we put both our addresses as in Northern Ireland and Mercedes permanent residence in the USA as Oregon and we recieved our NOA1 here in Belfast.

They changed Mercedes' address for her, said we were within timeframe, and that was that!!! Said there was nothing unusual with our case and that they were filing in order.

So, to counteract the negative vibes given off by CSC we spent the last few hours looking at wedding photographers and are gonna book one this weekend before Mercedes leaves for Easter - think of it as a '**** you' to the nay sayers.

So don't be expecting anything too drastic from us over the next few days/weeks. Until we are the last people in line I'll bite my tongue and not moan too loud as I do feel for the people still waiting. Once and if we are last in line, oh momma ...

Have a good evening y'all!!!

I am worried I won't be able to find another one that will take me on knowing that I am leaving - I can't not mention it at an interview unsure.gif


I know that feeling ... i just passed up a job offering TWICE the money that I didn't have the heart to take knowing full well I'd be leaving them in the lurch in a few months.

You know what though? If it's not a job you'll need a reference from then when you leave I'd say take the job, keep schtum and hand in your notice. That's just my two cents ...

Oh, and in case you didn't guess, no NOA2 today either.

Yeah it's great to see December 2006 filers going through!! Just great!!!

Oh? What's that? It's December 2007? Say it ain't so!!! But CSC promise they approve in the order they receive files!!! Surely there's some mistake?!?

Well done to all you CSC filers who got approved overnight!!!

I don't think I'll check my status until last thing at night anymore as when I check it in the morning it takes me two hours to stop feeling sorry for myself and get my mind on my work.

Tomorrows another day!!!

"You're from Ireland, right? And you swore off alcohol for Lent?! Are you *sure* you're Irish?!?!?!?!"

Lol ... yes, I know, I know ... it's hard to believe but I haven't had a drink since January. And, for the record, I'd sell my granny for a pint of Guinness right now.

Mercedes goes back to the US this weekend for Easter so we are going out Thursday night and I think a snifter of port shall be in order. I'm sure God will forgive me one transgression.

Oh, that and the #### off bottle of champers that's awaiting our NOA2.

Still nothing (we have been assigned an officer on Fenruary 20th) since our call on Monday and I am getting stressed again - get back from 14 hour working day and nought!!!

Anyway, do you think if the beneficiary has kids it adds a bit of time and/or complications? Anyone else here in the same boat? I mean, unless the kids have been leading secret double lives they will clear any name checks ... but I was just curious!!!!

OK!!! Little Help!!!

We just called using the RFE trick and a very nice cool lady told M that we had been assigned a case officer on the 20th of February!!!

Sooooo .... nearly a week later and our Online Status hasn't changed, not even a touch ... is that bad? We are both happy and crapping it right now!!!

Any feedback is most welcome from members who have had this kind of information from the CSC!!!

R&M

PS AS we both live in Ireland she said"Is he your fiance or Spouse?" and when M said "fiance" she said we "should have applied for i130 as it's much quicker". One assumes she meant get married then apply!!!
