today is our 3 year anniversary of when we first told each other how we felt about each other time does fly. I tell people and they are shocked three years?!?! and I just think, can't wait for the rest of the years together <3

Thats a wonderful milestone - and it should be celebrated, Congratulations. Just think, you'll never have to witness this day apart again.

happy anniversary SusieLuvsPaul .. it feels good right?.. next year will surely feel so much better coz you will be in each others arms for good by then.

Happy anniversary!!!

thanks guys

I gotta stop obsessively checking my status! ah since some jan filers got approved i check multiple times a day! it's addicting hah

Yeah, I feel the need to use this emoticon ....

Somebody tell me how to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a bottled unicorn fart here, they said it is the only antidote for USCIS online stat & Igor's list addiction.... if you really want I could send you some

OMG ... I so did not need to read that post first thing this morning!!!!! But thanks for the good laugh!!!

LOl

OMG OMGOMG!!! yay!! just checked today woooo


he's coming in two weeks i'm wondering if the papers will get to him before he leaves so he can fill him out? and how long after he fills them out that they schedual an interview cause hes leaving april 5th, would the interview be that soonnnn??

ah! I think I'll just concentrate on being happy!!! hehehehe for today anyway then i'll start worrying about other things hehe cause I don't know waht to do at all after this step! lol

congrats thats so fast, im in awe of you

also wondering when your he get police records cause i have no idea of how long that takes! thanks okok no more worrying about stuff today! hehe

The police records for the uk only take about 10 days now, if you look at your local force website there should be details on there about police reports for immigration purposes.

Yay Susie!!!! So glad for ya!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations Susie! Hey, you were approved quickly even if they did lose your cheque! I'm not sure about the answer to your question - I think I'd be tempted to wait to send Packet 3 back until after he's back in the UK.

This is so great! congrats to all approved! I swear I have no fingernails left - I am so anxious!!
Has anyone taken notice what countries the SO are from? Do you think that matters - I mean I have heard it doesnt really matter but I can't help but think it does.
I am so happy for you all - celebrate!!!!

Cat

Well I imagine what country does play into it somehow!! But to what extent I'm not sure.

I've still got my fingernails, but I'm so very anxious too!!!

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee If not today for us waiting, maybe March will be a very, very, very good month

thanks u guys I hope you get yours very soon!!!

When he's here we will put together packet 3 and get more pics and stuff for interview and when he gets home in april he can get the police records and send the packet.

but for now i'll just celebrate heheh i'm like runnning around telling everyone some are like approved for what? then I have to explain the whole thing haha

Yes! March would be great... my daughter's birthday is the 20th so it would be a great gift for her. She misses Louis as much as I do and wants him for her birthday!


wooooooo!!!!

Yep, it's great fun ... if they could just understand without the whole explanation!!!

I'm still so very excited for you. These January approvals have me a nervous wreck (in a good way of course!)

I share in your joy. One side note. They've changed the way they are doing the police records request in the UK. My baby just found out today that not only did they increase the fee but he has to go through a ton more hoops just to get the blasted thing!

Much luck!

I keep seeing the problems people have with getting police records and I feel like we have done something wrong. I thought we needed it sooner so I already sent Louis to get his. It cost $2 and took 1 week! I guess it is just the benefit of a tiny island!

:-)
Cat

Yeah, Stephen went to get his yesterday. They said he should have it next week. Knock another thing off the list!

should i have paul get his police record now or in april when he gets back? what do u suggest?

So on a positive note.. what's everyone thinking for a wedding? I got my dress last month and it takes me everything not to try it on everyday

Oh I think about my wedding all the time. The day to celebrate the rest of our lives!
Summer wedding on the beach in Maine... sunset.
Basically a beach party with a little wedding in between!
A little Rasta..a little hippie and a whole lotta love! Woo Hoo!

Cat

He should probably order it as soon as possible...took Darren a few weeks to get his back...but we ordered it a while ago..

And today, I got the affadavit of support notarised; this week, I also got my employer letter...Now, we're just waiting for Packet 3...

Don't have the dress yet ... nor his kilt. Yes, we are doing a traditional Scottish wedding (kilts, bagpipes, and all). Actually having the ceremony on a terrace overlooking a lake, and the reception on the same property that night (open bar party!! wooohoo!). I think we've managed to get all the details figured out for the reception, and we just have the vows and scottish traditions to figure out for the actual ceremony. I looked at dresses online, but I think I'll hit the actual shops in April/May.

That sounds so nice - I come from a Scottish background but I dont see Louis in a kilt!! Skinny rasta in a kilt! LOL

We will all have to post pictures after the big events!!!!

There is the link to my dress.. Although the dress looks a bit different on me.. the model there is an idiot stick figure with no soul....

Ohhhh, I love the idea of a beach wedding. And sunset ...

There are so many possibilities for what you can do, enough to drive you crazy




LMAO ... yeah, well everyone's comment here seems to be, what do they wear under their kilts! In the end, we both just want a relaxed atmosphere and a happy time!

Because of this hole mess, i lose weight everymonth...and i'm fraid to have my dress done yet

LOL ... yeah, well aren't all the pictures of women in wedding dresses sticks? I don't fall into that category either Somehow I got a little extra hee hee.

The dress is very pretty!!!!!!

approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am so happy!!! I was screaming and scared the crap out of my daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OH THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you both!!!!!

It's gorgeous!...the dress, not the girl...get that girl a sandwich!!!

I'm having a problem with the dress thing...I have a very hourglass figure, but it seems that most of the dresses that I can fit into (14-16), will make me look dumpy (did I mention that I'm short too?)...any ideas?

And that's what I get for not refreshing the page before I message!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! THAT'S FANTASTIC!!!!!

I work at cvs pharmacy as a pharmacy tech and i was wondering should i get the letter of employment from the pharmacy manager or the store manager?
also do i make the letter and they just sign it?



and one more thing! what is the affadavit of support? and how to notarised?

thanks!

oh that dress is pretty i was looking at that dress myself before v. nice!! and congrats on the nao2 Iriecat!!!

Congratulations IrieCat! Wow, how many approvals from Vermont have we had this week? It's absolutely crazy!

All of us sorry CSCers are going to be talking about our NoA2s while you're all having your weddings

As for dresses...well, my mother's friend made my mother feel guilty for not taking enough of an interest in my wedding, so this evening my mother has asked if I'd like to go dress shopping with her next week when I visit my parents. It'll be a simple dress, however, as I'm having a garden wedding (well, more of a BBQ backyard wedding).

That's a really lovely dress you've chosen, KitEEgirl!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Dawn,

Same like me size wise... I really recommend going to David's Bridal. They have a women's section for us not too slim girls and the dresses are designed to specially fit different body types. My dress really is very flattering on me. I thought dress shopping was going to be depressing. I had so much fun!

If you go back to the link I have for my dress, you see they offer it in another style. The model there wears a size 16.....much more realistic!

Irie,

I think that's beautiful. One love sis.

Congrats!!! I'm in Maine too its nice to see another Mainer on here.

Congrats!!!

i guess i need to edit and add you to the vsc lottery winners... your the 8th on the last count

Lovely dress!

As long as the dress fits you perfectly I am more than 100% postive that you would be a very gorgeous bride in that dress.

I will pray you get you NOA2 & the actual visa in time for your wedding date.

We originally thought of having beach wedding here this year but since we changed plans and did the K1 instead.. I am hoping my SO would give me a simple garden wedding, I even told him his mom's garden is already ok for me but I think he is still looking for another place. We still plan on having a beach wedding here in the Philippines maybe 3-5years after so it is ok to have a simple wedding when i get there... Now, that BBQ backyard wedding would sound really kwel!

Do post your wedding dress if you'll get one next week.

Congratulations to all the VSC filers who were approved this week! I'm sorry to say I was MIA this week, but I found out Monday my company is sending me to London tomorrow (!!!) to work on a client for two weeks. Since it was such a last minute assignment I have been working my @ss off at the office to wrap up all my projects in progress. The best part is Aidan will fly over from Dublin next weekend to see me. I'm on cloud 9 that I get to see him unexpectedly before I go back over in April.

I am also doing a beach wedding in Marco Island, Florida. I will be doing my dress shopping in April. I have found a bunch of Alfred Angelo dresses online that I like so I'm really hoping one of those is the one. The last thing I want to do is drag the bridesmaids around to 10 different stores.

I can only hope my approval has got to be on the way soon, but initially I prepared myself for a May approval so anything before then would just be gravy.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
