I am late going to the Ale House to watch the West Virginia/Colorado football game. There might be a pevo or two involved in this one.

Best of luck to everyone. The system they have sucks, but they think it is there for a reason. I will be back. Don't worry.


Pevo or two? C'mon, it's Ale House we are talking about, they do pitchers, ya know? smile.gif Have some of those fries with bacon and cheese for me, ok? Man, do I miss those!

Ana, where is the story about your trip to Odessa and the Black Sea? Might be something I will do in the future when we go back to visit.


It was absolutely amazing. We saw the many sights Odessa has to offer and spent majority of our time out on the yacht in the Black Sea. Even took part in a huge regata smile.gif Hit some parties, spent lots of time with my crazy uncle and aunt who are tons of fun. Overall, I think Dave really enjoyed that part of Ukraine. Definitely try and visit that place on ur next trips.

Conway, congrats on finally getting the approval! May it be a very smooth journey from this point on!

Alex, dear, hope u are feeling better!

Yevgenij, looks like we re in the same box or smth!!! Hopefully our approvals are coming in really really soon. To answer ur question about the wait time, it is around 70 days from Noa2 date to interview right now. In other words, once approved petition gets to Kiev they schedule interviews about a month and a half out. If we get approved together I might meet ur fiance in Kiev at the interview smile.gif.

Have a wonderful day people! *still wishing for speedy approvals* star_smile.gif

Dave made it home ok and is back to enjyoing the sunny weather! Can't wait to be there myself, but who knows how long it's gonna take now wacko.gif

Dairy, I need that smiley. Depicts my inner state that's for sure!

Steelman, sorry to hear ur love is sick. Hopefully she'll get better soon. And good luck in Chicago! May I say it's really brave of you to stay in Kharkov for a month with the cold weather we have going our way!

Yevgeniy, Privet & welcome smile.gif. We have almost identical timeline. Our NOA1 was May 29th, so keep me posted on your progress smile.gif. To know if you got touched just go to www.uscis.gov, go to to Case Status Online and register with a login & password. Than just add your case (NOA1) number to the portfolio and you'll see last updated date in the middle. When it changes that means a touch. Our last touch was on July 3, so urs should be somewhere around those lines too. OH, and may I ask where in Ukraine is your love?

Hi guys! Am feeling a bit better so decided to check on things... Between USCIS website acting up, June approvals coming in way before they cleared up May and all the talk about VSC slowing down even more I seriously have no clue as to what to believe now! I just don't know what to hope for sad.gif It's like that NOA2 can come in tmr and than it might be here in a month blink.gif

Other than that, hope u lucky jackpot winners are on fast tracks to the embassy smile.gif. BTW, Alex, how is it in Sweeden? And Jenny do they practice giving away dates if somebody cancels in Montreal if you keep calling to check?

Hi May,

Am still alive and kicking smile.gif Did not have much Internet access during our trip to the seaside, but was able to track Igor's list on Dave's blackberry. So did a little dance for each familiar name out there smile.gif So CONGRATS to all my dear friends!!!! Am so happy for Alex, Jenni, Gordon, Tarantula and Tiger smile.gif.

Am a bit upset seen all those June approvals while so many May filers are still waiting, but nothing we can do about it, USCIS is just unfair smile.gif

What's the worst is that all my plans of taking Dave to Kiev went down in flames as I got really sick, so he pretty much spends time with my family while heavily medicated me is snoring away. Tell me about bad timing. Hope I'll get a bit better by tmr to put him on the plane back to US sad.gif

My last ray of hope is thinking that our approval is seating in D's mailbox waiting for him to get home, lol wink.gif

Best wishes to all of us still waiting!!!!

Hello my dear May filers!

So sad to see our spirits going down, but looking at statistics page ain't raising my hopes either. Plus I recently found out about couple college friends who got engaged way after us and are already married courtesy of B2. I know, by going the right way we are avoiding troubles in the future (aka 10 yr ban), but why is the "legal" way so damn long and unfair?!!!!

Melannie, try to cheer up! Just think about the future you two will share!!!

Alex, am so happy for your nephew. Hopefully that was his last hospital trip!

Ok, I'll got to go and finish packing, lol smile.gif Dave is already somewhere in the air on his long trip to Ukraine. 6000 miles aint no joke!

I wouldn't say I am nervous, just overly excited. How are things with you, apart from stressing over Noa 2?

Melannie, hope u re feeling a bit better!

So now we have Labor day in addition to usual weekend off... is it just me, but weekends can't really be enjoyed that much just cause I know that both service centers are standing still?

Mellanie, WOW... that is one spread out family! At least you have many vacation options smile.gif. Is anyone from your family planning a trip to your wedding this year?

Gordon, four seasons in one day? Seriously? How do u handle that? I mean, I can hardly stand moving from cold sunny days to rainy evenings here in Ukraine. So all they say about British weather is true than? I've only been to London so far and guess we were lucky to get sunshine blink.gif

Our first petition package was sent in April and got returned a whole month later. So we ended up loosing those 30 days. Otherwise, D. and I would be as anxious as you guys are at the moment smile.gif I guess whatever happens, happens for a reason.

Susita, your stories cracked me up smile.gif You gonna have many more funny moments once Luis gets to the ol' good US of A smile.gif I guess I'll share my own experience as a dummy foreigner to illustrate smile.gif

I got my first car back in July of 2007 and Dave had a lot of fun with terrified me (I could barely drive) following him home from the dealer. As time passed I got better with driving and he stopped calling me everytime I went places just to make sure that both me and my ride were fine smile.gif.

A month later Dave's B-day was approaching and I went out to get his present. As I got back to the parking lot after the shopping trip, I saw my car with a huge dent on the passanger side and chips of paint and brokent light glass on the ground that indicated somebody JUST hit my baby car I worked for a whole year to buy! Paniced I run to the security booth and nice lady proceeded to help me. First of all she looked at the security cameras screen and managed to zoom the picture to show the dented side. A little rewinding showed how somebody was backing out into my ride!!! We called the police and she proceeded to fill out the form. Since I just got my tags, I couldn't give her a number and went back to the car to pick up my insurance and other docs. On the way I called Dave (who happend to be swaped at work) and cried like a baby. Anyway, so I get to the car, stick my key into the lock and it's not working. Only then I notice weird bags on the backseat and realize.... that it is not my car smile.gif. Same year and make, same color, but mine is three spots down the row as fine as I bought it! I felt like such an idiot. When I called Dave to explain the mishap, he wouldn't believe me. Well, to make it feel better, I still tell mysefl that at least I did somebody a favor by calling the cops on whoever hit their car smile.gif
