Finally after nearly 6 months....I check my email tonight and find that NOA2 approval notice sent 12-7!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! smile.gif

By the way there were a lot of approvals announced today. There are too many to announce so you can look for yourselves here.

The month's total is now up to 23 or maybe 22 because I think A&K and K&A are the same member. But 22 is not so bad! smile.gif


Wow. it looks like December could easily match November's totals. congratulations to all newly approved!

Hey guys, I was thinking of trying to call NVC either tonight or tomorrow.

I was just trying to get a feel for how easy it really is.

From what I've read it seems to be...call the number, hit the right prompts, give EAC number...and then that's it, right?


I'm not sure.

I'm working up the courage to do the very same thing. I'm gonna try in the morning and see what happens. Hopefully, they won't bite my head off! I've been a really good girl and haven't called anyone at USCIS during this whole process. innocent.gif

I only complained to the ombudsman via email! whistling.gif


both of you should call!!!!!!! they're not scary at all

im sure that they have your petitions by now...mine was recieved by them in 2 business days, and sent in another 2 business days

CALL NOW!!!!! lol


Does everybody who got their approvals are on NVC or on the way to the embassies????
Do you all have your NOA2 hard copy? Just wondering...


I got mine in the mail yesterday. i called NVC today. they received our case on the December 1st. It was sent to Moscow on December 4th!! biggrin.gif Yay!!!!!

yeah, I agree with you; I'd rather be at CSC in the current climate too... though I can also understand the anxiety of receiving no acknowledgement of your petition for weeks and not even knowing if you'd properly started the whole process wacko.gif


True, I suppose it would really suck if I didn't know if my petition was even received formally.

Oh, hell. my bad! Heck, I'd trade Service Centers with her in a minute. I didnt realize that's what she was talking about. Sorry. I still think California's faster overall. But since so many people never even get their NOA1 I wouldn't sweat that part. And it might take a few weeks to get their NOA1 or checks cashed. Some cases can be extreme for either service center.

I don't understand why in the world VSC is SO fast and CSC is EXTREMLY slow!!!!!! It's driving me up the walls..........why that difference??
It's not like ppl that have filed under CSC have more time,patience or what ever.We want to be reunited with our loved ones too!
Yeah this is more or less a rant but Gee come on now.
There's so many October Filers under VSC that have gotten their checks cashed and their NoA 1's issued while we don't hear a thing.Gee not even the ones that filed on the 1st under CSC have heared anything so far.Some ppl have filed 6 weeks ago under CSC and STILL no cashed check or NoA1!
Why did they get VSC 200 new staff members and CSC ain't getting NONE?!
NOT FAIR! Not to their staff in Laguna Niguel and definitley NOT to the custmoers!
Sorry had to say that!
Nat mad.gif


Are you stoned or something?? do a timeline search and compare VSC to CSC. Since the 1st of October there have been 28 approvals from California and only 6 from Vermont. A little math will show you why Vermont needs these 200 extra workers. I wouldn't be so mad if I were you. You've got a long way to go still and it could be worse, ....you could be waiting for Vermont. stay calm. And expect to wait at least 4-5 months for an approval. Good luck! good.gif

Hey Jeraly....i was just wondering something. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems you are always saying "Thanks" to people when they announce their news. I've noticed that you always write "Gratzie" when someone has good news. Doesn't it mean thank you? Maybe I'm just a moron. tongue.gif or I missed a memo somewhere..hahaha laughing.gif

It's bugged me for a while that I just couldn't understand what you were saying. Sorry, just curious.. blush.gif

Ohhhhh!!! Wait. i get it now. Just never seen anyone say it like that.. Duh.... sorry..hehehe

Did anybody send the money through Western Union? How do we check if they cashed it?



If you sent your money in the form of a money order, Western Union or otherwise, you should be able to call the toll free number on your receipt and follow the automated instructions. You will be asked to provide the receipt number and then you can find out whether or not your money order has been cashed. The downside is that you won't be able to learn your case number as you would with a personal check. They can only tell you if the money order has been cashed.

No - HPV is a really new thing - it's crazy - it's only recommended for girls under 12 and is not mandatory in the USA yet I have to get it because I am under 27. It is actually ILLEGAL to have if you are 27 or older!!! Because it is so new only one company sells the stuff and so they can pretty much charge what they want sad.gif

I would love to get it done in the US but I am not sure if I will be allowed or not... I think I should be because I only need it for AOS... does that sound about right to anyone else?

So which diseases is this HPV against? If it´s not mandatory in the USA then I don´t know why you would have to be getting it...Did your doctor say that?


It's on the US Embassy website sad.gif I think I can get away with getting it in the US for $360 like Rob said... £399 for a vaccine is crazy... I am just going to make sure I take print outs of everything that says K-1 is a non-immigrant visa and all the requirements so if they try to screw with me I can just wave it all in their face and at least have something to refer to!!


Holy $hit! I had no idea it was that expensive. And I didn't know it was mandatory. We have to do this for Sasha's AOS??

Dental update.....

Well, Peter had TWO tooth extractions, was full of pus and his sinuses were draining pus too...hope y'all already have eaten!

He's starting to feel a bit better...pain subsiding...but I'm amazed they pulled those teeth with so much infection going on! He said they gave him an 'antibiotic cocktail' to drink...3 grams of something (men never ask what...grrr), and he FAINTED from low blood sugar. Well , he hadn't eaten in three days from the pain.

Now...knowing how I worry and all...I'm just scared that he'll get some complication before he flies here. (Jeraly isn't the only one that over anylises things! ) I know he'll have a bunch of dental work left to do once we're married. sigh. I just hope he is recovered enough to travel in the next couple of weeks. He was SO ill from this! I've never seen him this ill.

Well..that's all for now. I hope everyone is doing okay.



Oh man. This sucks! But I'm sure he will bounce back quickly, now that the work is done. And he'll put those lost pounds back on, catching up on all the wonderful food he missed out on. wink.gif

Dental pain never really bothered me much. Even growing up. My mother would tear up and yelp as the dentist did their job. and she wasn't even the patient! I was in the emergency room nearly every month when I was growing up. I was a bit of a rambunctious kid and "stitches" was even my nickname for a while. I've always had a strangely high threshold for pain. Don't really know why. And it worried my parents a lot. Its really not a good thing. In the past xrays have shown that I was hurt much worse than I thought. Not fun!

Hey everybody! It doesn't have a lot to do with the K1 visa, but I need to share!!

My fiance sent me my Valentine's gift the 5th of February. They said it would take 5 to 10 days to go to France. Everyday I checked my mailbox and it wasn't there. Monday morning I went to the post office to ask them if by chance they got it and didn't tell me, but no, they didn't have it. I was sure that it was lost. or someone had stolen it. The gift inside is pretty expensive...
I came back home for lunch today, and there was a notice from the mailman that said that the package made it here and that it would be waiting for me at the post office tomorrow!!
So, tomorrow, I'll go there and finally get my Valentine's present, which is......... my engagement ring smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif In less than 24 hours it will be around my finger smile.gif


I'm so happy !!


Cecile


Wow! Congratulations on your engagement ring. And glad to hear it actually made it to you. But i have a question....5-10 days?? blink.gif #######? Are you telling me that he sent an engagement ring through the regular post? Helluva risk, dontcha think? FedEx or DHL would have gotten it to you in a day or 2. Even then I'd be afraid. never heard of someone mailing such a gift. Whew, but luckily you got it. good.gif

Once this month is up I'll draw up a list of us all so we can all keep an eye on touches and approvals!

My estimated approval date is now Alex's birthday...it'd be a good present but I'm still hoping that we may be finished before then.

As you probably already know, this is just a standard estimate based on other VJ members' timelines. Most of the time people are approved sooner than this projected date. But sometimes a few go beyong this date. There are petitioners from June and July still waiting. But not many. Good luck to you on a speedy approval! good.gif
