K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSMS text Visa will arrive Monday 4th Aug Finally!!!!!!!!
I just got a text message after work to say my visa will be delivered on Monday 4th Aug , by sms courier service.

I feel only now i can take a deep breath and relax , and actually talk about it!

My interview was on 7th July , and although the guy said i was approved sending in W2 and 1040 ,which my SO posted to me on the same day (god love him).

Then they sent back a DS 156 to be signed which i think i was meant to sign in front of one of the interview officers??

I just couldnt be happy about it , was anyone else unconvinced it was actually happening until the received that little but very important thing in their passport??

I have seen so many emotional sides to me i never thought existed!

So..... now i have until 4th Sept to get myself sorted , oh and little matter of a going away party to organise!



AND YOUR ALL INVITED! BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF ALL YOU GUYS I THINK I COULD HAVE WENT MAD!

(MAYBE I DID A LITTLE)!

I know this is not the end of the journey and more paper work is in front of me , but this that i feel right now is elation kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif and i wish you all the same on your journey

godamnit! if Nick was canadian this would be so much easier due to commonwealth! I hate waiting....I'm not the patient type. Plus my wedding dress plans gone askew so need to start the search all over again which is an added headache.

hello. I wish we could all get our approvals now....but still...feels kinda cool completing the next coloumn in the spreadsheet. Which brings me to my next point, few more updates to do so they'll be appearing in the next 5-10mins.

Jeraly, just remember....it's never "goodbye" it's "see you later". Easy for me to say with my Nick here with me until decemeber but then after 6months living together we'll need to go our seperate ways until I can go with visa in hand. It will be a big change after so long together.

ok another quickie.....need to get my VJ fix......my network should be fixed tomorrow or saturday, I miss the internet, can't get my ebay fix either!!!

Yey! my estimated date has gone from 7th nov to 4th nov (when I first started out it was 5th Oct :crying: ) I've noticed the may filers making progress slowly. Will be interesting to see if there is a lower than average august filing rate due to everyone rushing to beat fees, if there is maybe things will start balancing out again. I've not seen an August filer thread!

I'm hoping for a feb interview date and a march arrival. I don't think thats TOO unrealistic! Trying to stay on the slighty positive side of realistic! :)

A quick hello. My network still screwed up. My approval date started out as 5th October....It's now saying 7th November. What the hell has happened? Has everyone gone on holiday at once, has there been a mass exodus of staff. Don't they understand it's peoples lives they are playing with.....guess not, we are just numbers and pieces of paper that inconvience them between the morning and evening commute!

On a happier note I found out today I might be getting a nice bonus from work.....and whilst some people at work saying, new clothes, new furniture, payment towards new car....... I'm thinking....hmmmm AOS!

ok I'm here.....I'm not going to be around much between now and saturday due to the network breaking in my home so having to steal a few mins on my dad's PC. I'm gonna go crazy without my VJ fix.....oh well at least it stops me checking CRIS for updates when I know fine well there wont be any.

Keep PM-ing me with updates I'll blitz them all on Saturday.

Miss you all. Keep praying. It'll all be worth it in the end.

English muffin is right. To work in any sort of immigration or border control job you need to be a USC. Jeraly we can still stand at the door with a whip or cattleprod!!!!

I'm planning the dual thing.

Well I'm a creative/wedding photographer of all things. Anyone fancy checking out some of my work you can HERE I'm winding the business down now and managed to get a part time reception job on £10 an hour at a law firm to supplement income until I can head over.

I actually had great fun trying to explain US immigration to one of the partners in the law firm. He just looked at me and said "wow....rather you than me and I get paid to fill in forms full of jargon" hence to say the company I work for don't do immigration, just corporate, employment and property law.

Geordielover...we have the opposite problem....my parents here in scotland (my dad is from Jesmond by the way and I have lots of family there) are the ones that keep trying to talk me out of going. Nicks parents are great support. My parents are stressed about our age difference which is no biggy for us....I'm 26, Nick is coming up for 21. (my toyboy). I have very conservative parents who still haven't given up moaning that I went to art school to persue an art and photographic career (not a real degree or job apparently).

At least we have all filed. We are all on our way. The journey is going to be long, all you VSC-ers pity us CSC-ers, it will be even longer for us. Some May VSC-ers have started getting NOA2's. Still hovering around 12-20th april for CSC. The thing that gets me is that I really wouldn't mind the waiting if everything was 100% guarenteed at the end. It's the fact that you can go through all this and there is still a chance, for some reason, that someone behind a sheet of glass in london can say no! it could all be for nothing. Sorry....spot the person on the downer! I'm super stressed about the financial aspect due to our position of needing a co-sponsor and nick NEVER having filed taxes as never made enough money.

I wish I could stop myself looking at the estimated date. It just gets depressing to see the day getting further and further away, it feels like we not making any progress. I guess I keep looking as the optimist in me (and thats a very very small part) keeps hoping to see the date move closer.

yep yep yep...i know how it goes...I hold my hands up...I'm a bit of a control freak. I hate things being out of my control, I hate things being out of place, I hate uncertainty.........so you can see how this visa stuff gonna really test the limits of my sanity! I'm one of lifes organisers and I'm a tidy freak, I hate mess! I'm also incredibly impatient!

My cat staying here. she too old and timid to travel. It would be much better for her here...she is going to live out her twighlight year in the scottish countryside with people she knows. Will miss her like mad but it's the kindest thing for her. She goes off food for a week after a 20min car ride plus she recently had to pull herself through an illness which left her really weak.

We just sent standard UK pictures with the petition and I'm kinda worried too. I have been told that it's not TOO likely to result in anything for initial petition it's when it gets to interview stage that they get really picky about the photos. Thankfully there is somewhere here in Glasgow that will do them, I just need to find it!!!!

I'm holding myself back and I only check every 2 or 3 days but I'm still here everyday.

I should be able to make it to the chat session for a while at somepoint in the evening.

OK further update.....in "total days" on the spreadsheet you will now be able to see how many days you have waited since filing.....I knew all my PC training would be useful oneday just took some remembering how to do the formula, had to pull it from WAY back in the old grey matter filed under, "probably will never need to know but then again maybe!!!" exactly where all my high school algebra is stored!!!!!

the other things are swapping how I write the date...we do day-month-year, over there it's month-day-year. Also the american hatred of the latter 'u'.......flavour...colour.....

I think even still after over 18months taking almost daily, something always comes up and we are like...."what did you just say!?!?!"

Regards to accents......yeah I've found myself saying pants more intead of trousers also I say purse instead of handbag. Nick says wee occaisionally. The biggest things that cause hilarity for us are the simple ones like tomato and aluminium! I remember one time here we drove past faslane325 (the anti-nuke (and very smelly) peace camp) and he came out with "god damn hippies" that was it...I cracked up, tears streaming down my face whilst trying to drive! The other thing is as I speak a wee bitty gaelic I keep getting asked whilst I'm over there to just say something....I never know what to say!

hahaha. I get a few comments on my accent when I go across the pond. Because Nick is living with me here in scotland for 6 months he's picking up the occaisional bit of Scots and I'm picking up the odd americanism. Both sound funny in each others accents. He has even started saying 'wee' sometimes.

Everyone......Remember to PM me if anything happens with your petitions. I do read through the notes but it's easy to miss the odd one hidden away. I have a feeling it maybe a wee bit quiet on the update front for a couple of months. Anyone filing now is an August filer.

Here's hoping things speed up a tad.

OK tweaked title and added rae_and_scott to the spreadsheet and backed it up again...(I have run my own digital photography company for the last 2 years, I know the true value of backups!!!!!!)

Jeraly I think we should go take over running of CSC. We'd soon have them whipped into shape. Well you heading out that way.....I suppose I could restart processing in NSC as thats where I'll be.

Rae and Scott....will have you added into spreadsheet in 5mins or so

Billy.....I'm just worried that if we leave it open that things will get added out of order / info will be lost / stuff will get corrupted / we'll have same problem as before with multiple people trying to edit at same time. I have stored a backup onto my laptop too so if website goesdown all data not lost. I can assure you I aint going anywhere. Also once we all graduate K1 process. If we all keep in touch I'll start an AOS on sheet 2 behind that one.

Hope everyone ok with me doing this.
