CONGRATS LILOU!!!!

as Aly has already said, I'll be dropping off the radar between now and thursday. Me and Nick spending the time together before he leaps the puddle back to NE. I'll still be doing updates occasionally but could PM's be directed to her for the next few days.

Have a great week all and I hope to see MASSES of approvals when I get back.

I know there were 9 people viewing while I was updating. I can't believe how big the spreadsheet has got. When I started it there was only 23 people on it, now there is 90+!!!!


Aly: it's coming...I know it.


Just an advance warning....tues and wed I'll be off radar as spending last 2 days doing stuff with nick before he goes home VERY early thursday. Then thursday 10am I get my 1st round of vaccination (thanks again DR for losing my records) so I may be slightly....bluurg!

WOOOOOOOAAH! I missed so much. Great to see so much action.

A big CONGRATS to all the approvals.

well better go update this spreadsheet. Keep the PM's coming and I'll keep updating. It's now food time and I'm hungry so gimme an hour to get them done. In the meantime if you haven't let me know of any updates use this hour to do just that.

I am in agony. Went into work, got handed £100 and got told...."go get xmas tree decorations". We just got a new 8ft xmas tree yesterday. Now my office is at the bottom of the biggest hill in glasgow.....the shops are at the top. So up I go, buy enough lights, baubles and sparkly things for an 8ft tree (thats alot of shiny things). Almost roll back down hill to work. Then the guy that was supposed to be helping build the 8ft tree and decorate...well his job has been on the line for ages due to his bone idleness.....WELL they chose this morning to fire him and I had to do it all myself. I've not done that much physical labour in ages.....i've got muscles aching where I didn't know I had any!!!!

Debz - I think I mentioned before but would it be worth adding a total under the days from Rec-NOA2 for both CSC and VSC to show the average days taken to get approved?


gonna do that in next round of updates, probably tomorrow.

Silly question: When the approved petition has been received at the NVC, do they update you on the USCIS website, or do you have to ring them yourself to find info about it?

I hope that makes sense...? tongue.gif

Not a silly question at all. I am actually wondering the same thing. Past the NOA2 stage, do we even login to the USCIS website anymore? Is it relevant? Is there a new website to check once we have the new case # from NVC, or do we enter this new case # into USCIS, or what?



Nope...USCIS website useless. You can call NVC to chase it otherwise wait for packet 3 to land on your door mat. At least thios is what I believe is the case. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

My file still not at NVC

My OH has been confident that he will be fine...but recently he has been getting a bit worried too...

I have gotten quite homesick myself during my extended trips to the UK....and I can not imagine how people coped with the vast distances before Internet, Skype, and email. Usually a long conversation with my mom or a friend back home will snap me out of it ( I LOVE SKYPE!!!!) but it does not hurt to be prepared with familiar things and comforts of home. Silly things like my duvet and my favorite crackers that I can not get here in the UK.
So, I am also making a list of things he might miss when we go to the US....TEA...for one, I think is essential....the tea in the UK is much nicer....branston pickle too.


Completely agree with you on the Branston! Cheese and crackers will never be the same for me again! Branston is a must!!


food:
branston pickle, tea, Irn Bru, haggis (real stuff), reasonable priced scottish single malt, HP sauce, houston brewery ale (infact just real ale), dragon palace (local chinese take away)...... I'm sure i'd think of more

TV:
father ted, red dwarf, little britain, still game

random stuff:
popping down to fox and hounds with my brother and his girlfriend at 5mins notice (or my dad), the solid rock bar in glasgow (loads of mates there), cathouse (rockclub in glasgow), braehead shopping centre (i know where to find everything), being 10mins from coast, being 20mins from mountains

apart from leaving family and friends the other hard thing is going through all my personal stuff and basically having to be brutal about what I'm taking and what I'm leaving. Initially it's going to be "don't NEED don't take". Will gradually get stuff sent over but it's hard, I'm quite a sentimental person.

Oh and still no movement on USCIS website... *plus* my projected date is on 26th Dec... grrr sad.gif

Sorry to hear about that weedebz. How many shots is that anyway?


from what I read......Tetanus/diptheria and MMR are only ones we need plus bloodtest to prove varicella antibodies (chickenpox) for AOS time. So not bad but I remember getting Tetanus/ diptheria at school and being very sick. MMR is 2 doses!

at it's not 7th as I said before...it's 6th. I'm getting them done after dropping nick off at airport so I'll be miserable and sore!!!!

HARRUMPH!

if there are others...let me know someone please!

Hello you!!!!

Ooohhh!! Well I just got an e-mail to confirm the sizes for two of my dresses (makes me feel pretty skinny which is nice!!! One is a 16-18 and the other is a 22-24!!!! My dress is a 16 but it was the last one in the store and I have huge boobs so tongue.gif) They are in a deep cherry red - not sure if I posted a pic... lemme see...

http://www.jajalum.co.uk/8212a.jpg

I hope that shows ok biggrin.gif Mine will be a lighter red biggrin.gif


I like american sizes....in american sizes I'm a size 8!!! over here I'm a 10/12. I've got opposite problem....I have wee boobs so some things hang lower than they should at the front! Horray for wonderbra!!

Those dresses are lovely. I was thinking red initially but as getting married 31st may decided to go for something more summery. The peridot is a nice pale green and my dress is a pale ivory colour. Flowers going to be Ivory roses, cream orchid and green ferns mixed in foliage. Sticking some sprigs of white heather in there for luck too.

I've just arrived. Had productive afternoon. Wedding dress all sorted and good as new after the wee disaster and finally sorted the dress for my MoH. We actually found one that we agreed on style and colour so bought it quick before she changed her mind. It's from davids bridal, full length a-line with embroidery on the top and it's in peridot!
