It really sucks that you're being kept waiting so long, Sally. sad.gif But I'm really sure that the scan is merely a formality and that they'll find nothing wrong with you.

dbears - here's hoping that the officials hurry up and issue your visa soon! good.gif

Thanks friends for welcoming us to the list,

Let it shine with the word "Approved" beside every couple!

This is a sentiment I can definitely get behind. good.gif

Love seeing all those red approvals!

Damian's finally home with me!!


I am so envious!! Congrats on the homecoming! Liam is being the responsible one and wants to save up money before coming over. So here I am twiddling my thumbs again until Octoberish..... To keep myself busy I've started to research the AOS as well as how to pay taxes next year. wacko.gif

I know all about being the responsible one. sad.gif It's such a tough decision to make. I hope the time passes really swiftly for you. I'm hoping I can be in the US by October, too, but November is looking more likely; an extra $1800 can't really be sniffed at.

This morning Bella went to the embassy at 9.. Turned over the passports.. After hour, she was called to the window..

She was told she was approved dancin5hr.gif , go pay Domesa !!!

Bella and the twins called me all excited.. Finally, what a relief..

The strange thing that happened was the embassy kept the original birth certificates and baptismal certificates and the certified translations.. She asked to have them returned and was told it is better she go get all new documents.. Do they have any idea how difficult it was to obtain the documents to begin with.. geesh..

Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes.. We are much appreciative.. We wish everyone much success and a much easier road than we had..

J&B

Congratulations! But what a bother the embassy is. Keeping all the originals? wacko.gif

But woo, you'll soon be together now. biggrin.gif

Joe, I am sorry to hear your news. Hopefully they can issue the visa tomorrow. As for Bella's daughter's surgery, I hope that they are able to come to a conclusion and that she doesn't have breast cancer.

I am hoping you can be reunited as soon as is possible and I am sure you are right; at least with AOS you will be together.

I am so sorry to hear your news, Joe. What a thing to insinuate about Bella's own children! The process is really cruel, sometimes - we have to expose so much of ourselves with the petition alone, whatever is demanded of us at the interview just adds insult to injury! mad.gif

Well, Alex & I were originally going to file in September/October and I had sent all of the necessary documents and photos to him by the end of September, but he kept hesitating and then he didn't have the money (I sent him some) and then he was worried he'd not filled in the forums correctly. Each time was a different problem. I was pretty hurt initially because although he kept saying 'I want you here soon!' he wasn't exactly doing anything about it. Fortunately it's all worked out for the best and I don't think we could've afforded to be moving so soon, but it was very frustrating for me.

Unfortunately we've seen more Chrises in the past and I'll expect to see more in the future. Somehow I have the feeling that if the ball was in their court they wouldn't be supporting the stragglers and complaining about CSC but shouting their approvals from the rooftops.

I thought the £70 fee was only if you wished to receive it within 2 days? Everything else I've seen has said it's £35 and you'll receive it within 10 days. If he doesn't need to come over immediately, is that the better option?

They really should've been clearer on the requirements; I'm sure many people have been placed in the same situation as you and it's not fair!

Around half of the members still waiting haven't visited VJ in well over a month. (Going by the 'last visited' date on their profile). Hopefully many of those members have been approved but simply haven't updated their timeline.

I usually say I am 'visiting friends', which is true, because Alex isn't usually the only person I see - both times I have visited we've also met up with other people online even if that is not my primary purpose for visiting. Plus I am 'friends' with his parents. wink.gif

They ask how I met them (online) and whether I've met them before (yes) and then I'm usually through. good.gif

Yes - this is key!

Good luck, Miss Yoko. I, too, am sure you'll be fine - but I know how nerve-wracking arriving at US immigrations can be, so if you're like me you'll worry no matter what anyone says!

Oh - and have an amazing two weeks. It really will help the process!

If my mother can't fly she said she'd do her best to attend by boat/train - although I hope that doesn't happen because it'd be an awfully long journey. And I think many mothers' minds jump to 'children' when they hear talk of 'marriage' - I've tried to explain that it won't be happening for a couple of years yet!

You may not have a super-fast approval but so far you're within the average timeline for VSC - hopefully it won't be delayed beyond that! Keeping busy is a very, very good tactic though.

I'm down in London on the Saturday night for my dad's birthday - having a meal, tour and concert at the Royal Albert Hall and then sharing a hotel room with my sisters. Should be good fun! good.gif
