Whats the average on days for that? If I'm counting right we're at 126 days now

Thats about right - before the latest slowdown we were expecting ours before the end of the month, now we are looking at mid June-if that. I get this feeling that someone said - "Why are you working on K1s, when you should be working on N-400s. K1s can't vote for Obama"

I kinda don't really believe that saying... K1 petitioners also vote


bleh, I do have a nasty feeling about this week... either they still have probs with their site updating so people will have to wait a couple of days more before they get their approval in the mail orrr (and this is more likely) we will have to wait at least another week before something happens because of days off and such.

Oh well.. I hope they start soon on us again.. the wait is wearing me out

Me, too...I've been so over-emotional the last week or so! I happened to catch the last 10 or so minutes of Anastasia on tv the other day and "At the Beginning" came on during the credits...I started bawling.

I am still hoping and praying to see ours by end of this month......call me an optimist hahaha

OPTIMIST!!

Ok I am doing big belly laughs over here! LMFAO!!! Love it! hee hee

I'm with sunny on this one!

Personally, I'm getting good vibes for sometime around Thursday, the 29th. Come on CSC, don't let me down!

That's the spirit! The kids are alright.

hi steven! my fiance also put "manila" on that question on the application form... i am currently living in "metro manila" as well and never leave anywhere else..

im just curious why it went to the HK embassy. u mean the NVC will sent it to the nearest embassy on your beneficiary's address??

hello po! seeing how the NOA2 would look like got me excited but can u tell what are the changes? i cant really get to understand why u point out at the dates and the A number. tnx!

I really really hope they're right but I feel like it is just false hope :/

Sorry guys but I have a serious hard time to keep positive about it.. I'll see it when it gets approved (or rejected or rfe'd) but until then I don't think I will be too positive about the whole waiting.

On a different note.. I did manage to get my birth certificate (had to go to a different city for it) recently so I got that all covered up. The i134 is also pretty much finished and I am having a pre-med exam next thursday (with results within an hour) just to get my mind of a possible rejection with that. I am probably just ok but yah, I am a stressing person when it comes to my health so to get my mind back at ease I am gonna do an early test (even though it cost me a some money (less than the real exam tho)).

WE'VE GOT ACTION people! Laura and Scott (JAN 23'ers) just posted their NOA2 approval from last Thursday!

CSC is alive, and we've got our first "Second-half-of-January-Filer" with a NOA2 in their hot little hand!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to them, and WAHOOOOOOO for us! Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for this action filled week!

Oh Holy Smokes! It appears we have another!!!!

USA1138 just posted in another thread that they received their NOA2 on Tuesday! They don't have a timeline published yet, so it's not popping up on Igor's (I reminded them to fill it out, by the way). But the great news is, their NOA1 was dated Jan 22, just like Sunny's!!!

Not trying to jinx anything here, just sharing some general happiness and encouragement with my favorite thread family members!

This must be good news!!! There are finally back to work, people from the second half of January, this is your turn now!

wow congrats!! seems i have to take my words back.. which i really dont mind at all

hhhoooorraayyy!!!!! we got our NOA1 by mail on the 30th of january so its quite close to the date when USA1138 got theirs! and their application will also be going to manila like mine!

well im just trying to get some positive vibes with it..trying to compare,,

OMG you guys ok I am seriously shaking of nervousness and excitement over here over this piece of paper! I want ours soooo bad I can taste it!!! PLEASE oh Lord sweet sweet LORD let us be getting ours within next week or two!!! We soooo need this happiness!

CONGRATS to those that got theirs and HOORAY to CSC for moving

Ok was just looking at USCIS online and it says in my portfolio thing as "On January 18th we received your petition for...." sooooo we sent it on the 17th but they have they received it on the 18th but then on my printed one it is dated the 22nd and then of course we got a touch on 27th as they loaded it into a dusty box....buttttt what I was wondering is if I have my timeline accuratley filled out on here?
Thanks....
omg I am so nervous this is silly hahhaahah.....

So apparently they are working on it again! Fingers are crossed here that everything is a-okay and no more RFE's to slow anyone else down and NOA-2 quickly on the way!

Later,

E

Good luck E!!!! My fingers are crossed for you that nothing else slows it down and the approval is on its way!!

Thanks Steph........We are pulling for everyone else here too!

Good luck everyone!

You sure it's the NOA2 you taste?

I mean, it is lunch time in my area so who knows what you tast lol

LOL well just waking up here haha! Not even 7:30 am so yup it is the NOA2 I am tasting.....hmmm hint of paper and lots of dust.....gosh hope I come home to that thing in my post box this WEEK!!!

Ok now I am wigging out gathering stuff and you think I can find receipt for wedding banquet room? Of course not! LOL...so emailed the lady to hopefully get another copy of that!

Ooh I am gonna be sneaking on igors list and here all day at work I reckon just to see if any more approvals pop up haha! Good luck all!!!

Better watch out you dont get a paper cut from that NOA2 in your mouth tho hahaha

Good Morning all. It's fantastic to see some activity again out of the CSC, time to get on a roll again. Congrats to the recent approval

That's great news E - your approval should be any time now. Good Luck!

Woo-hoo!! Congrats to the new January approvals!! Congrats to E on getting your RFE back and processing starting up again

Sunny, don't eat TOO much paper...I hear they can form bezoars and that would just be unpleasant.

OMG! That's exciting news! Hope we see some more this week

Well, we've already had three january approvals so far today - Congratulations to Lili & Matt, Jan 5 filers

Yes Congratulations!!!!

*waves* Good morning relationship twin. I was telling Dennis about all of the weird parallels in our relationships the other day. I still think that the four of us should get together once we're all settled.

Good morning Thats a great idea! We should definately do that! I finally got a pic of us up but my mom says it looks funny

I think it's a cute picture!

Lol... Thanks! Its one of the few we actually have. Levi is coming down end of June and he said we have to take tons of pictures and just change clothes for all of them so we have more relationship proof

hehehe...we were saying that last time he Dennis was here, too....strangely enough, Dennis is coming down at the end of June, too. We got tons of pictures last time he was here.

Hopefully this will be the last time they come just to visit!!! Wouldn't that be funny if we're driving home to stay at the same time?!

It will definitely be the last visit before he comes to stay, we won't be able to justify the cost again unless something un-thinkable happens and it takes a long time more...I'm really hoping to have the NOA2 before he gets here. It would be really funny if we were driving home at the same time! We could head out of Winnipeg together...give the Pembina POE a bit of a lesson in K-1's.

That would be hilarious! I can't believe how expensive the tickets are for such a short flight! Levi's was over $600 and its a total of about 2 hours actual flight time.

I know! It's ridiculous! We try to shop around for the sales, that's how we got his ticket last time and it was right around $500. This time it will be almost $600 unless something comes up in the next week or so. At least they pre-clear in Winnipeg...just in case customs refuses to let them in, they aren't stuck at an airport somewhere.

Well at least there's that! For sure we should have the NOA2's by end of June( hope and pray)! My nerves can't take much more

I'm still hoping you get yours by the end of this week! I'm loving these late January approvals because that means early February approvals are next and that's me!

it sucks how the other half of january filers breaks the "normally" 4 mos waiting time for the NOA2..seem like it will be from 4 to 5 months! NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it shouldnt be!

Who knows! Maybe its home in my mailbox waiting for me right now!!!!!

Ohhh...wouldn't that be wonderful!! Don't start planting that idea in my head, though...once we start seeing February approvals I'll probably go home every day on my lunch break to check my mail!

OMG its a good thing I'm 35-45 minutes from home or I'd probably do it too!

I'm only a ten minute drive, and I have a half hour lunch...it's just long enough to get home, check the mail, and grab something to eat.

Uh Oh you've already planned it out

You two are both nuts
