Hello everyone !!!
I could not find a thread for CSC April 08 filers and thought I would start one. I had found for March/April, but it was confusing for me to read through all the posts
My beautiful fiancee Oksana, resides in Tashkent Uzbekistan and we filed 4/04/08 and our last touch was 04/09/08.
I know that it is now a waiting game and I am a very patient man As for Oksana she is a little impatient with the process, but is coming around and is getting a much better idea about the process from reading much at this site.
I hope that the pace of the NOA2's being approved picks up very soon so that we can breath normal again and begin our wonderful life together.
I wish all April 08 filers the best of luck and Gods speed
Best Regards,
robertjay

you can add us and i have flown through uzbekistan on my way to work in afganistan wish you all luck and tell your so i sympathise with her patients is not my strong suit either
we are vermont though

Welcome, frostysoftyeaton !
That is a mouthful to say ! Thank you for posting. Your fiancee is most beautiful young lady & so tiny
My Oksana is getting much better with her patients and I always try to give her positive thoughts to drive back her pessimism Did you get to spend anytime in Tashkent ? I spent a month there last year in the middle of summer, boy !!! was it ever hot They do not have much in the way of air conditioning and it was hard getting used to the heat. Oksana is Asian also but is 5' 9" tall without shoes She is Korean on fathers side and Tarter on her mothers side, great combination
Best regards ! and again welcome !

Hello! At last there got a thread for APRIL '08 CSC FILERS, I had thought of starting a thread too but good I came to read this. I will inform about 3 of those April filers from Philippines I've been keeping in touch with. With Igor's list there are lots of CSC April 08 filers, hope they will come up.

Good luck to all of us!

frostysoftyeaton -- we got very close timeline.

Robertjay - good job!

Oh frosty, you're a Vermont filer, you should be getting your NOA2 anytime this month. Ours, I've set my mind for 4-6 months..

Good luck!

Finally hehehe! My fiance` filed the petition April 24 and we received NOA1 April 29. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!

I'll be checking this thread all the time. Thanks to AllRightsReserved for informing me, sis I have seen your thread about the pictures, that's great I have learned something from that. I have not filed the pictures yet, but once fiance` is decided if he will go back or not I will then file the pictures hehe...

Are you guys also preparing these stuffs that we will be needing? Just curious...

Hey all!

I too have been looking for the April CSC thread...glad someone finally made one hee hee!

My timeline looks about the same...end of April...it already seems like it was SO LONG AGO that we filed, but, sigh, we have to wait longer. I am really really *crosses fingers* hoping I get to spend Christmas 2008 with my fiance here for good, but I know until the Visa is in hand nothing is certain...

On the bright side, it looks like for a while there CSC was picking up the pace and moving the approval date up about two weeks or so. Let's hope they continue!

Good luck to everyone, and keep in touch with progress!

Heather

Hi Chef Cloe! Good we're adding up! CSC April '08 filers, GO.GO.GO!!!!!!!
Ayan, you can have prospects here for orders.

Welcome! Nice to meet you here. Yes, let's keep in touch, it will be very nice to update any progress with our journey. Good luck!

hope we could have some crazy chat again hahahahaha ayyyy soon once I finished the school I will bother you again on yahoo messenger hahahaha!!!

Hmmmm.... April K-1 filers at CSC must be very shy about posting
Thought I'd post again and see if any movement has begun for anyone. I have noticed that the K-3's seem to be moving much faster than K-1's. Maybe the pace will start to pickup
robertjay

We're just here, standing by.

NICE TIMELINE! ours is nearly the same. Best of luck to you and lets hope that CSC gets a move on it.

Hello all !!!
When I returned home from work this evening, it seems that CSC has got past the 4th of July holiday and again is on the move It is the biggest move I have seen since I filed
Lets all hope the pace picks up
robertjay

can someone xplain to me what igors list is?? thaaanks

Hi! Please add us to the list too

Her's the link for igor's list:

http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/igor/vjdata/default.aspx

Best of luck to all!

Thanks Michael & Maria
One question as I have never seen the Igor's list before.. but what does 'Last updated' mean? We were last updated on May 15th.

Thanks -x-

'Last updated' -- that's the last time a VJ member has updated a timeline. Some of those are left hanging 'coz they don't get to update anymore.
You're welcome!

Good luck April filers. It looks like things will certainly start happening in the next few weeks for you all. I am an early March filer, and we have already gotten some early March filer approvals. Yesterday was like USCIS "On a double dose of caffeine" They were cranking the approvals out so fast, I believe it is all about the back-up from our US Holiday that just passed last week.

But I am praying for all of you, and hope that we will all be approved by the end of August.

WE ARE APPROVED TODAY...YYYYYYIIIIIIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rite on guys gud for you best of luck

WTG !!!! cONGRATS
Welcome to April Filers pulache !!!
robertjay

add us to the team please too thanks


thank you how are things looking for the april dream team possible noa 2 date

Welcome Peluche!

Congrats!

Oh how I wish I wish I wish I lived closer to Vermont! I hate thinking that there is at least another two months for us CSC filers

On a bright note, 22 days until I see my fiance in Australia! I remember I thought I would just about die in April when seeing him again would be four months away, and now its three weeks. Let's hold strong guys, it's just around the corner when they will all be with us in America and our lives can be taken off pause

Heather

hello april filers,

finally im on of you now! thanks for making this thread, we all glad to meet you all!
glad to meet you all... Godbless and goodluck to all of us

Hi Spence & Lovie, it's nice to see you here. Keep posted!

Congrats frostysoftyeaton
Wish our case was in VSC but I am happy for you guys! Good luck on your upcoming medical and interview! God bless!

Me too, I wished we did filed at Vermont, but in that case it will be far from Michigan, whoaahhh , you know what that means. In a way am still thankful. The waiting just keeps us stronger...keep the faith you all!

Congrats on your approval!!


Shouldnt be all that much longer for us CSC guys, I have my fingers crossed for the end of Aug... Now a timeline from NOA2 to visa is a different story, Im just hoping to miss winter up here in cold Canada.

But 9 More days till i get to spend a week with my fiancee so that should make the rest of the waiting a little easier. Hope to see more of you getting approvals, Keep us all posted!

Keeping my fingers crossed too...end of Aug to mid of Sept. is just right. My prayers are all with you.

You'll be together again..wow, that's great..cant wait for my Mahal (love) to fly for a second visit....looking forward to some cheap fares this Aug.

robertjay

There got March 20 CSC filers approved at Igor's list!!! CSC is on the fast track!!!

I saw that too..Im so excited !! WE jumped 50 spots on the list in the last week alone.

SOOO glad to have found you all!! I knew there were some of us lurking out there! The wait is long but it's an exciting time knowing maybe within a month we could hear something.... so are we thinking our fiances could be here by November, or is that wishful thinking?
GOOD LUCK to us all!!!!! Sending everyone best wishes!

Hello marcos & Heidi !!!
Welcome to the CSC April filers. This is just my opinion and I am a very optimistic man, but once approved, things will move very quickly. You might want to look at your Consulate and what there times frames are for interview and issue of Visa to get a better Idea. My best guesstamation for me is the end of september to the middle of October. If the approvals at CSC keeps up with the current pace
It is impossible for an exact date, but I think most people can do the math to within a few weeks if there are no bumps in the road during the process.
Good luck, and again welcome !!!
robertjay

Ice cream for everyone my treat just get one, I am just so happy to see a lot of March filers approval from CSC... we're almost there April filers. Chill out!

Any cookies and cream flavor? Hmmm, this could be right in time with my mood swings.

Hiya guys! We're one of the Apr filer too! From their speedy approval for Mar filer, our time is coming soon. We've got 2 touched these 2 days and it makes me soooo nervous. Everyday I wake up the first thing to do is check up status! omg its so addicting....trying to be patient now.

keeping my finger crossed.....for everybody like me and hopefully all of us can get our approval soon!!!!

this is exciting, keep us posted I am wishing and hoping you'll get your NOA2 the next few days... yaaaaaaayyyyyy

That's a good sign, goes to show your papers are being worked on.

Good luck!

Hey all...don't want to get anyone's hopes up *fingers crossed*, but if you look at Igor's list http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/igor/vjdata/default.aspx there is someone on there that had filed their NOA1 MARCH 31 that just got approved!!! We could all be just around the corner!!!

Heather

Hi Heather, yes I have seen that and it made me hope... I hope to see early April filer's approval on the next following days... I am thinking next week there will be one or two April filers who will get NOA2 (I have a feeling)... Good luck to all of us...

Our filing is 04/03/08, I have all my fingers and anything else I can cross
Good luck all !!!
robertjay

RobertJay, I'm crossing my fingers for you too, good luck...

I am just wondering, is there any April filers here who hired a lawyer? I just want to know, thanks...
I also want to know if any one here have been preparing now all the possible documents that you can use as an evidence? Please share your preparations, thanks.

jeffcloe,
I did not hire an attorney, but had a company called Nevesta International fill out my paperwork then I just sent it in.
The reason I used Nevesta was they could communicate with her in her native language and that has helped very much and they did all the translation of documents from Russian to English. My opinion is, that the only time a Immigration attorney is needed is when you know you will have issues during your K-1/K-3. If no issues and your filing is straight up with no complications none is needed. I used Nevesta because they were very good with filling out the paper work right the first time and did not miss anything. I am not so sure, if I had done it myself.
I am getting ready to send Oksana her I-134. Along with this I will send more evidence of our relationship that has accumulated since our filing ... ie... phone records, E amails, Western Union transfers.
When it comes time for Oksanas interview, Nevesta will prep her for the questions that they will ask. There will be no misunderstandings because they will be speaking her native language. Oksana is very early in speaking English, but writes and reads it very well. The fee was $595.00, which for me is worth getting things done right
Oksana is very happy with the people that I have hired and is most comfortable with the process. There help has given her great confidence in this whole process.
This was me and I am sure that many people have went in other directions than my own.
Do what works for you and will get you the end results that you desire.
Best Regards & luck to you,
robertjay

Thanks for the response... For sure once our NOA2 comes we will need to wait for our lawyer to send it to us and he will be the one who will again fill up the I-134 for fiance` but you gave me an idea to show it now to fiance` so he can familiarize him self about the form, thanks for that idea.

Have you tried using skype to call Oksana? We want to try it, will it print the call history? Thanks...

Have never used Skype, but if you do a search here you will find people who do. I have heard good things about it.
I have been using Vontage for my long distance for over two years. I have 5 grown children and only one lives here in my city. So I am able to talk to the others as long as I want for $24.99 a month.
For calls to Uzbekistan the rate is .12 a minute and I get copies of all my phone records and pay my bill on line.
Regards,
robertjay
