henc henc

my fiance loves me for my big nose too
and my mono-brow

we haven't been to Aus together yet - well, even I have only been there once, in the last three years - but we plan to... he'll finally get to meet my parents then too

time frame goes: NOA2 -> interview -> leave the UK, after shipping stuff to US -> I arrive in Aus -> two weeks later he arrives in Aus -> two weeks later we fly on to the US

we'll see how much of that occurs; as the saying goes: people make their plans, but God has the last word

I know I'm not in your situation and I know the waiting is hard... but right now, when we filed the idea was people would be approved in 90 days - I am sure it was meant to be like that for a lot of people...

Unfortunately it's not...

An RFE is a bit of a bummer I must say... it does delay the process a bit - but your file *is* being processed. That means providing the evidence that is requested isn't something insanely difficult to arrange, onece you get it sent back you can expect your next contact to be an approval

I was dreading an RFE when I first filed - now I would quite welcome one

But it´s not always so easy...Byron sent his reply like 2 weeks ago and still hasn´t heard from them...and when he calls they are just mostly rude to him and tell him nothing

Better keep praying for a speedy approval than an RFE

I also send the RFE back on Sep. 27 and still dont have my approval. When we call the will say that we are still in the 60 days time frame. We really need to be praying for a speey approval.

oh cool..our time frame goes: I fly to cz in 2 days or so ...he comes to stay with me we don´t know when (choices are Nov, Dec, ~~Jan~~ ..don´t know about that...shouldn´t we be getting married?)...interview before, after or during...only God knows...2008 we get married and stay local

I know; my SO and I love to travel (even in only a total of four times together, we have been in Canada, UK, USA, France and the Czech Republic

), and now we'll be stuck there for however long... I keep saying 'when I get my parole', and you can HEAR him wince; he's always so apologetic about what he terms 'my stupid government'

(I love all the terminology... specially 'Alien Spouse'; every time I hear it I think of this:

look out for a change of avatar around the time I get married

)

Don't forget that you are also for her the "Alien Spouse or fiancé"

StillThePrettiest

Nov 8 2007, 09:29 AM

yeah, that's what I meant; I'm the 'Alien Fiancee' right now, but will shortly be the 'Alien Spouse', which is when I'll change my avatar to the above

oh, and it's 'for him'; I'm female

Well if they like Scott better I don´t mind

I like him better too

(So my poor English gave me away

Where have you been?

Nov 8 2007, 01:23 PM

henc henc

I like it as it is... already changed my avatar on my other forum, AND my name (you can change as many times as you like over there, unlike here

)

and Marta, your English is GREAT, and you should know that... better than some so-called native speakers I've seen in here

no, I suspected you were Marta because your style (and penchant for dancing smilies

) was a little bit more feminine than masculine

been to Prague four times, Cesky Krumlov twice (15 years apart! which makes me feel a damn sight older than I'd like

), and Roketnice (spelling?) once, where I learned to ski

also driven about a bit - as a passenger, so am less sure of exact places... drove from Roketnice to Prague with two German friends on New Year's Day, 1997... THAT was an adventure

Other forum? And you can change your name? I am envious

StillThePrettiest

Nov 8 2007, 06:29 PM

yeah, I feel pretty at home in Europe; I'm more than a bit apprehensive about how that's going to work out, when I move to the States...

my other forum is where I met my fiancé

along with a whole load of other friends...

and we change our names ALL THE TIME; occasionally we get into silly moods and then the name changes happen every few minutes; it can be tricky to keep up

FAR fewer people than here though, so we all know each other pretty well

Woah looks like VSC is getting back on it after a long while of inactivity! Hopefully all June filers get NOA2s before too long, and fill up the crates to send to NVC (if that really is how it works now!?!?)

Nicely done Bill y Bella Thanks for putting the stats together.

StillThePrettiest

Nov 12 2007, 02:25 AM

oh, BRILLiant, Bill; thank you so much

some interesting stuff there... look at the drop-off between submissions in July and August! not unexpected, but still... and I'm fascinated to see the parallels - and divergences - between CSC and VSC

for example:

numbers up until July show between 2 - 4 times as many petitions being received every month at CSC than at VSC, but August onward they're almost the same (which is part of what they said they were trying to do)
percentage-wise, we're way ahead on June, but still trailing on April
there's that WEIRD September anomaly at VSC... which we knew about, but still strange to see it as a percentage; it's quite significant really

of course, as always, the conclusions we draw aren't perfectly reliable, as it's a small sample, but still... very interesting

thanks again, Bill; I really appreciate it

I am not a big fan of monitoring touches but I think it is safe to assume that since you have not been calling or making other inquiries that your petition is on an adjudicator's desk.

Isn't that exciting?
