HOOORAY woke to two approvals from yesterday!!! Go CSC!!!! Gareth and I finally hit 39!

You are soo right about the stress of leaving your home country and your family and friends... I still have 3 months here and I am starting to have mix feelings.. I am happy that I will be with the man I love and be with him for the rest of my life and yet I am sad to be leaving my family and friends here.. I also have the fear that once I leave, I won't be able to see my father alive ever again which add to my torn feelings. Well, at least he is showing health progress since his last hospitalization compared to a few months back. I just have to think that my father is a fighter, always been a fighter so I guess he still have years and decades to live.

Re new letter of intent, I do not know if it is a requirement in the US embassy in your country but in the Philippines it is not, though I did bring a new letter of intent from Ricky addressed to the US embassy in Manila during my interview but they never asked for it.. i have not encountered anybody who was asked for a letter of intent here.. but of course it might be different in your home country.

If the new letter of intent will make you feel more comfortable and confident for the interview then I would say, go ask for a new one specifically addressed to the USembssy in france.

Loads of luck and God's blessings always.

Good morning! Let's hope this week brings more approvals than last week; although CSC did not perform too badly last week I like to think they can always do better.

A copy of his mortgage agreement
Recent paycheck stubs
credit card bills (proves financial ties to Canada)
his most recent utility bills
A copy of the entire petition
A letter from his boss stating that he was employed and was expected back

On a side note...it seems really dumb to me that pending visa petitions are considered suspicious activity...shouldn't it just prove that we're doing our best to do it lawfully and just want a visit while we're waiting? Seriously...WTF?

Thanks - exactly what I needed - ya agreed on that side note - but you know what these guys are like. Make no waves and they let you pass. For some reason you'd think that a filed K1 means we are doing everything above board. I bet if you said nothing they'd let you in just fine, of course that would ding you later when you tried to get in - "Why didn't you say anything etc etc"

OMG! OMG! Ok not gonna freak but I got a touch today!!!!!

Woo-hoo!!! At least you know they haven't lost it!

Ohh...one other thing that will probably be hard for her cuz she's a girl and I know this is really hard for me...pack light! If you bring too much stuff it will raise suspicions. Don't bring anything that makes it look like you're trying to find a job (resumes, etc.)

And you're welcome. I'm sure everything will be fine!

I just logged into check my status and it said my case was last updated 11/8/2007. I got all excited because the date had changed...then looked closer and was like "umm...wtf?" Logged out, logged back in and it's back to saying 2/14 for the last updated date.

I know im not a jan filer but i got a touch today too man i hope they approve it pretty soon

Whats up with that?!

I wish I could give you my NoA2!

I know about doing the math stuff When I first entered in my timeline info and I saw Igor's listing I was number 260 on the waiting for approval listing. It's been interesting watching the number go up and down as new people join. Now I'm at 200, but that doesn't mean I won't be at 210 tomorrow. Even though I realize that it doesn't make a bit of difference as to what my ultimate approval time is, I don't like it when my ranking goes down.

With all the waiting involved I've been thinking about ways not to let either myself or Olha to get depressed about all this. I want to redocorate the house - paint, drapes, new carpeting, and all that. Initially I was thinking that it would be good to do all these things before she arrived. I'm starting to think, however, that perhaps that is not such a good idea. I think having her spend time thinking about what she'd like to do, planning how she'd like things to look, and then actually working side by side with me to get it done, will not only give us both something to distract us for the next 6 months, but also give her that sense of immediate contribution to our new "family" when she is here. Once the fun of planning the decorating wears off, my next step is to encourage her to start shopping for her wedding dress, that should extend the good mood for at least another 45 days.

Anybody have any other ideas on how to help our SO's get through this as well?

Hi, I am new here tonight. I filed in Jan 08 and just got my 129F approved (CSC). I am awaiting my letter from NVC.

WE GOT OUR NOA2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to you both!!!! Good to see another CSC approval!!

Did you get the email notification, or was it the hard copy via USPS?

WE GOT OUR NOA2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Heather! I did wonder if that touch signified an approval!

CSC touches usually seem to mean something...it's VSC's that don't. I'm crossing my fingers that estadia's recent touch was also a good sign.

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!! Congrats Heather!!

Thanks Andrea I'm soooooooo happy Hard to concentrate on work LOL!

I can imagine!! Think you could go home on the grounds that you're too happy to be at work?

WE GOT OUR NOA2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
