Sorry

Thank you Anna and Erika!
What a beautiful morning! So nice seeing people getting approved ! It’s about time…



Thanks for the numbers !!!!!

You guys are now 136 and 137 respectively now.

Yes you are right!
There was a marsh filer (California) that was approved today! I hope you will get your approval soon….
I cant get away from the computer today, still haven’t packet yet, and I’m leaving tomorrow morning…

Its so exciting to wake up and see all these approvals today and all the excitement going on with the april filers. Can't wait for the party to get started in here! Hope Vermont keeps up with this speed.

Ladies & Gentelmen (drumroll....)

Out of 75 April filers 19 have NOA2s or 25.3%!!! I just hope they'll keep up the speed.

Alex, hope you managed to pack. Have a safe trip and lots of fun!!!!

it's so nice to see these approvals rolling through!

I've been pretty discouraged the past couple of weeks, really feeling the weight of the waiting process. Some days it felt like the end was so far out of site, now it's like a breath of fresh air!

I am so glad I found this site, it's been the biggest support base!

Let's see some more approvals!

Thank goodness for Approvals! They make me feel not so blah!

Bo is moving into our apartment tonight! *happy dance*
And I get to see him on Saturday *more random happy dancing - if you all could see me, you would LAUGH!*

I'm glad to see everyone is being so positive this week It helps to keep us all happy

Welcome to all the new people! Our waiting room is a great support place

<3 Jen

Ok boys and girls… Going to finish packing! Have to be up at 6:30 am!!!
It was a wonderful day, just love seeing the VJ family getting approved…
Stay positive and I will be around later!
Bye

Number 272 today...wow I was like in the 290's a few days ago...wooo hooooo. You guys have some serious positive energy....lol

Good to see more approvals ... Keeps me positive and smiling, though I can't deny that the waiting is driving me mad.
Just out of curiousity ... where's Igor's legendary list? lol

Good luck and fast approvals to everyone!

You got to love how they always do a huge push before the 15th when the timelines get updated. But I'm not discouraging them I just wish the 15th came more than once a month.

Well at this rate it will be well into October before I'm over. Still, that's within a 6 month time frame. It will be nearer a xmas wedding than an Autumn one.

Hows everyone doing otherwise? Hope your all well keeping positive.

Here you go: Igor's List - VCS

Just look for your names on the list of "Still Waiting". The very top are the latest approvals

William, I really don't like the idea of Christmas wedding ... How fast is Lara's embassy with interview scheduling?

Oh, Ukraine is down to almost 80 days from receipt of file from NVC and actual interview ... Jenni, now I know exactly how you feel BTW, how was Bo's big move in?

I just read somewhere, that it should pick up for us any day now, just because there weren't that many April filers. I'm not loosing hope!!!!

It's me who will be having the interview at the Embassy Ana. Lara is the US citizen.

As far as I know, It's about 6 weeks I get my appointment after the K1 leaves the NVC.

All I can say me...Sorry I should stop typing right after waking up.

Six weeks is not that bad... Should make it there mid-October... that is if they'll keep up the approvals

Ohh a speed up in approvals?! that would be lovely! Right now, the wait in Montreal (according to VJ) is 65 days! It dropped from 118 a month ago...we'll see how long it lasts though :S

William, that's not a too bad wait...6 weeks is enough time to get past the excitment and jitters and get your medical and stuff all ready.

Ana: Bos move was tiring according to him. Just did it last night, after a 12 hr workday...Boy was he cranky! Understandable though. We're both just trying to get through the next couple days until I can get there. I told him I would make sure he knows how happy I am to have our place

I'm glad to see everyone happy still...we're almost there guys! Soon, we'll be doing those happy dances that the April filers are doing!
<3 Jen

I saw that a May filer with an NOA1 of 05/09/08 was approved on the 14th of July!!! Isn't that exciting? That is exactly 2 weeks before my NOA1 for the I130... my I129F is a week after that... but still... APPROVALS IN MAY FILERS!!! I just wanted to post this here too in case some of you didn't see that and let you all know that there are some May petitions being approved! Yay! Hopefully we will be approved soon too!!!

OMG, really?! AHH don't get my hopes up! LOL!! Our NoA1 was the 14th! EEK

<3 Jen

We are now at 225. I don't want to get to excited. But I am

william_wallace we thought we would be getting married in fall too. So it will be a white wedding at this rate.

DairyFarmer, just wanted to let you know that the town hall you've chosen for the wedding is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't even think they have places like that in America. Even with the white wedding it will be be absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks Ana so sweet. The kicker is we actually don't have a choice. This is the only town hall available in our county. Guess we lucked out.

What number were you before dairyfarmer? I am now 270-was 272....slow but steady.
Everyone stay positive!

In the last 5 weeks we have moved fast!!! We were 270 ish and today 215.

And you are now 259 from the looks of Igor's list

130 for us. Alex is one place in front. Looks like I need a burst of nitro to whizz past her lol

I suspect she'd stick her foot out to stop you

Nah, she won't even notice lol. How are you today anyway Dairy?

Not too bad. Hoping there might be some sun this weekend :read praying: Hows about yourself?

Sun lol. We had some of that yesterday, looked promising until it pi$hed rain. Not too much today, got some errands to run later. Tomorrow I will take the bairns to the county show. Just hope the weather holds up. The north of Scotland is unpredictable weather wise.

Its felt like winter in Melbourne to me just a bit warmer. I really thought being up north (here in Edinburgh) the weather might be better than in London.

What county show? I went to Dunfermline last weekend and considering going to Loch Ness via Inverness this weekend.

It's the annual agriculture show north of Inverness. It's very big up here. I haven't been to It for the last few years, so looking forward to It.

You should go to Loch Ness, amazing place. I took Lara there last year. She totally loves Scotland.

I really love Edinburgh so far. Have only really be as far north as Kenmore / Perth, West to Drymen went to St Andrews a few weeks ago. Mostly all around Edinburgh Otherwise.

So I have a lot of exploring to do still. WHat else would you reccomend?

All depends in what you want to see Dairy. Glencoe, Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan Castle, Inverness. There's so much too choose from.

We filed in May this year as well. Good luck to you.

-David

I-129F Sent 5-24-2008
I-129F NOA1 - 5-28-2008

Good luck David. Hope you have a fast process.

Wow thanks dairyfarmer for looking me up on the list....i am the straggler in the group looks like...lol Oh well, I am not prepared for the stress of part two (NOA2) anyway...I am still recovering from the 1st step....although at the same time I want this to hurry.

So your from Australia dairyfarmer? I am in Arizona...very warm and monsoons-gorgeous!

Hello everyone!!
Nice to be back!
So glad to see the approvals, 15 in one week! Great, great !!!!
How is everyone doing??
Heard from someone that a may filler got approved but could not find it on Igor’s List!
Happy Sunday

It wasn't me Alex but I am trying my hardest to overtake you on igor's list lol.

How are you anyway, hope you enjoyed your weekend?

I’m doing just fine! made it safely to Portugal! So far so good! Enjoying the weather (37 degrees) and the beach as much as I can! Trying really hard to not think about this journey! What’s new with you?

Don’t think so

Nothing really new Alex. Lara is still on the mend. She had her MRI scan, she's still in some pain and discomfort since the car accident. It seems she has a herniated disc but she won't know for sure until she see's the Dr on Wednesday.

I'm just waiting patiently for the NOA2. Looks like that's not going to happen to August by the looks of things.

Hope your having a great time in Portugal with all that heat.

Is no news, good news? I haven't had a touch in nearly a month now.

I’m sorry about Lara!!! Sooo sorry…. I hope she will feel better soon!

We all are waiting for this “NOA 2” patiently its so frustrating! August is in 2 weeks!
But it seems like Vermont is finally working. I just want to be with jonathan in October!
Don’t know how busy the American embassy is?! Do you know where I can get that info?

Igor's list
Liz & Tim 111
Alex & Jonh 124
Gordon & Lara 125
Anastasiya & Dave 144
We are getting close!!!!

Looks like 1 & 2 on the list is a repeat so I think you can probably subtract 1 from those numbers.

We're in the 103 slot but I'm gonna call it 102 and keep my fingers crossed. (NOA1 of 5/19)

Joe

Oops. I suspect Gaura & Nitai at 57 & 72 are also duplicated along with April & Joel at 74 & 76. So maybe subtract 3. Still looking.

Getting no touch in 2 months is quite normal. Try not to worry about it.

William_wallace, so sorry about Lara's troubles. Hope she will get better soon!!!

Alex, glad you are enjoying yourself oh and getting a taste of heat You'll see lots of that in FL

Conway, we haven't been touched in over a month too. Nothing to worry about. All we can do is be patient.

Some good news: out of 77 April filers here on VJ, 28 have NOA2s, and that is over 36%.

Thank you Ana!
How are you doing?? Feeling better?
Trying to have fun here with my family and old friends… now is the time to do it! Don’t know when I will be back again to visit!
It’s funny , now that we are getting closer its when I miss Jonathan the most! Cant wait for this journey to end! Getting a little nervous for the interview… asked William before where I could see how busy they are at the American embassy In Stockholm ?
Do you know where I can get that info??

There's no info on VJ about Stockholm Alex.

I'm not sure if this link is any help http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=95 or http://stockholm.usembassy.gov/
