Yeah ... after his assistant's email I looked up his voting record on immigration ...

# Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border. (Sep 2006)
# Voted YES on preventing tipping off Mexicans about Minuteman Project. (Jun 2006)
# Rated 100% by USBC, indicating a sealed-border stance. (Dec 2006)

Mmmmm ... he's a Republican .. shocker ...

Do they really work Saturdays? Good luck to all this week - Mox, you are up for a bit of good news soon!!!

Thanks Eli.

I don't know if they work weekends anymore. For awhile they were requiring mandatory overtime, and we would actually see approvals over the weekend and sometimes even over a holiday. But lately the approvals have been happing on more of a M-F timeframe, so they've probably at least scaled back on any weekend work.


Truthfully, my estimated dates have slid back as things slowed a little late last week - I think we will hear about ours by last week of Feb or 1st week of March and we are expecting a RFE for an unsigned additional details page. You should have yours in 10 days at this rate Mox.

Looking around today, I noticed it's getting spring like here in Ireland - I spotted two birds going at it on a rooftop - (not 'birds', I mean real birds) - and it just reminded me that while it seems that this whole process is taking ages and time seems to be creeping really, really slowly while waiting for a NOA2, the world is still rotating at 107,218 km/h and it will happen.

Oh, M's Dad wrote to one of the Oregon congressmen to make an enquiry about our application. His assistant said to get back to him in 2009 if we hadn't heard anything ... I ####### you not!!!

See what you guys think - I just posted this in the K-1 section too but would like your thoughts!!!

I've been offered a new contract in the UK up until November which is a great opportunity career wise and it's DOUBLE the pay I recieve now.

The problem is it's a contract until November and we get married in October (provided we get our visa).

Can I take the job, go to the USA for our wedding then come back to the UK and finish the contract and then depart for the US full time? I know there are rules about this but I'm not clear if they make an exceoption for things like work etc.

And no, I can't start the job and then leave in October - it's a project one would have to see out to the bitter end!!!

It's over to you guys.

Well done to the recent August filers ....

Fiance Visa Joke #123,456

As you may know I bought Mercedes a little Daschund puppy for Christmas and we are bringing him to the USA when we move, he's called Vincent. We have to get him a pet passport (radies shots, etc) and I was wondering out loud, as we are getting a K-1 visa, does he need a K-9 visa? Geddit, K-9, canine??? Ok, so maybe this waiting has touched me ....

Nice work Igor ...

IF CSC could get up to four a day and IF they approve petitions in order then judging by your numbers Mercedes and I would be approved in 8 weeks - so March 18th-ish!!!! I wish/hope/pray that that's the case!!!!

Have a nice week everyone - I'm about to go headlong into a mad month at work so that'll help things pass along quickly - I hope you all can find some distractions too as this visa stuff can drag you down!!! It's funny but I find it easier now we are past the halfway stage to a NOA2 than I did back in say November. Keyword there is easier!!!

@Eli - remember that your projected date will jump a TON if someone who has been waiting ages has been approved - if they just approved someone who has been waiting since May then the average number of days is going to skew completely


Lol - my timeline drifts when there are NO approvals, think what a long termer will do to me? 'Can we postpone the wedding until 2087 darlng?'

I just had a crappy day at work and wanted to vent when I got back to the office and saw zero approvals the last two days!!! Sorry folks!!!

If this happened here in the UK it would be headline news and documentary producers all over it for sheer government incompetence. It's hard to comprehend how any government agency anywhere in the world - let alone the most powerful country on earth - can double the fee for a process and subsequently have that process take twice as long as normal. It boggles the mind!!!

And incidentally, if any of you are thinking over popping over to see your SO from the EU then do so while you still can. Have a look at this ... http://news.bbc.co.u...cas/7190788.stm.
