I'm sorry Mox,but gor uses a different date system than STP and I got used to her lists.On her's we were 154 on 1/20/08 on Igor's we are 148 now.Ya still 6 up but somehow I don't think that we would be 148 on STP's list.......????
Ya VERY impatient here.
Nat

Considering the lack of granularity for approvals, I'm not sure the dates used matters much. If you take a look at the latest CSC approvals they're across the board. Have to say though, I miss seeing StP's little monobrow around here. Come back StP!! COME BACK!!!! crying.gif

August 10.

Are people hearing by post or online status? I'd like to know because I keep checking the online thing and it just feels so disappointing. When Jon and Mary got approved yesterday I felt so hopeful because they received a notice the same day as me and I have a feeling that the packets were together even though they filed later because mine was delayed in the post until 15th August. I thought I was lucky that CSC honoured the postmark on my packet rather than the physical receipt. Anyway, I had hoped that their packet and mine were very close together and still nothing sad.gif

Sorry for rambling.

I'm glad to see CSC make a decent start on August filers. Congrats to those who've been approved smile.gif

I've actually got a script that runs against the CSC approvals and emails me when the list changes, so I'm cheating a little. smile.gif

It's so hard to say what goes on at the processing centers. It could be that yours was packaged in a different box, or any number of things. Most of them do seem to be from the first half of the month though, so who knows, you could be very very soon!
Jeraly
StP had the same notice date as me and that is when it really hit me hard as the days dragged on... I got approved a couple weeks later I think so it doesn't always work out like that - I am SURE you will hear something soon though!!
bakofoil
Thanks both for your replies. I keep checking Igor's list - it is very very good and saves checking around the forums. Though StP gave me a link to the VJ search results she used when she was updating manually and that was good too - except for the fact it refused to show sent date and that always irritated me. Which is why I like Igor's list. No offence StP - it was a VJ glitch. By the way, where is she? I miss her.

Ah well, another couple of weeks isn't anything really. I have to tell myself that because it's is really becoming stressful now. Basically because of the work situation I have here. I had given CSC their six months and allowed another couple of months for interview thinking that would be sufficient. It's so hard watching later approvals even though I am happy for them. Selfishly I want it to be ours too. I suppose it was the first time in a while I had felt a real sense of hope when I saw Jon and Mary's approval.
Jeraly
This might not be much comfort but...

When Jeremy and I applied and when we found out about the backlog/CSC mess we were thinking I wasn't going to get approved until about March/April. Once NVC got my case (a month after the approval) everything has moved so fast it is feasible that we could have made our original wedding date (decided not to chance it though).

Thing is we allowed ourselves 6-7 months. It took 5 months to get NOA2. So we figured it would be another 3 months to get the visa (based on the 6 month for the whole process, 90 days for NOA2 theory). Even with the huge delay, it still works out that we could have gone through the whole process in about 6-7 months (had we decided to go for it and get packet 3 ready to send of as soon as we had the LON number)

So even if you get your NOA2 late - it might not really throw things out all that much smile.gif Keep the faith biggrin.gif

If you ever lose a column, look at the top of the list where it says "enable advanced mode." Click that link and you'll get your columns back.

Hang in there kiddo, it's just around the corner! good.gif

I can enable advanced mode and twiddle around hiding columns I don't want etc. The problem is, when I do that it mixes up the data and I end up with K1's from 2003 instead of the last 20 approvals tongue.gif Which is usually when I throw my teddy out of the cot and moan to you wink.gif

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm sure it will be very soon too smile.gif

Thanks Aly. I had wondered about whether you could have made your original wedding date with the way things have gone. I think you made the right decision though. I think it would have been far too stressful trying to make everything fit into the jigsaw in time. Too many unknowns. You get to have so many celebrations of your wedding now I'm sure that when you look back in years to come you might even feel grateful you had the opportunity to share the experience with so many people. It's really quite an exciting and unusual means of doing things - and shows both yours and Jeremy's commitment to being together for the long haul!

I, on the other hand, was so relaxed about the process after that initial NOA1 worry that I've basically been plodding along thinking that I could basically go whenever it's ready, thinking that end of March/early April was plenty of time to have it all in the bag (well that would be 9 months I allowed)- until now that is! The past few weeks I've been really fretting about what I'm going to do for work when my current job ends and how long exactly i'm going to need one beyond that date. Mostly though, I'm just starting to feel dissatisfied with this temporary state of being.

It's weird how when you're waiting for NOA2 you have a time in mind (usually around the 5 month mark is reasonably safe) and so you know when you're within that time not to really expect anything. When it goes beyond 5 months it begins to get stressful, beyond six months the timeline is shot to pieces and you feel like you can't trust or believe in the process anymore. The people getting NOA2 in 3 months - I'm not sure I would have been prepared for a quick turn around like that. Yes, I want to be with Jesse as soon as I can but there are a lot of practical issues to consider. For me, six months down the road, the practical considerations are long sorted and I just want to have the next hurdle of this race in sight. NOA2 - NVC I don't care if it takes a month I just want to be inside the timeframe again. Hope that makes sense. smile.gif

If you look at each of the columns they have an up arrow and a down arrow. Each of those arrows will sort either ascending or descending on that colum. (sorry if you already knew this, it just sounds like you may not be clicking on the proper arrow.)
Jeraly
Haha - not too old skool wink.gif I never had the NES games because they didn't come out in the UK - Jeremy did though (still does I think somewhere...) I *do* own the re-releases on PS though biggrin.gif

babbles - you make perfect sense - you put it so much more eloquently about a 3 month turnaround than I do as well! I have really appreciated this taking so long - it has really straightened it out in my head that yes, it is a big deal but damn, do I want to marry this man if we are going through so much to make it happen - I think that is why I am not so worried about getting married as I am moving smile.gif

WOW so it's 6 of the 50 August Filers now!!!!! Great news!! Keep going CSC!!!

hi all, I'm still around; just been hugely busy and had all manner of crap happening... nice to know I was missed though smile.gif

got inked up today at New Scotland Yard! so that's one more thing out of the way... I didn't get a LOT of ink for my £60 so I'm considering lodging a complaint with the Met Police laughing.gif
there was a fire alarm test while I was there though - VERY exciting; urgent alarms echoing along the corridors and all the front doors going into lock-down - so the nice lady who had shepherded me through to the boring office where the fingerprint man was waiting behind a door, reading the paper (true) took me out the back way, and forgot to get my name badge back, so I at least got a souvenir for my money... of course the downside being that NSY records will show me as still in the building, so they're probably still in lock-down while they search the air ducts and drainage system laughing.gif

Natashabrenda, I considered that I had been so well and truly put in the shade by the spanking new Auto-List With Patented Bells and Whistles that I wouldn't need to do mine again... are you sure you still want it? I don't mind doing it if people like it but it just seems superfluous and rather primitive wink.gif

STP ya actually I really like your list and I got used to yours.So if you are in the mood and don't feel pushed :yes pretty please with sugar on top?! whistling.gif kicking.gif

Add one to the approved list! I have been working out of town and haven't had internet access. While I was talking to Mai Anh this evening, she wanted to look a word up in her dictionary. I took that opportunity to check my email. Well, wouldn't you know? There was the email from CRIS. I just couldn't believe it..............

Yay, I smell lots more NOA2's to come!

This is looking hopeful!!!

Gratzies!! CSC seems to be back on a roll again *hopes she hasn't tempted fate*

Can't believe there are a couple Sept filers in there as well - I think maybe someone has overlooked a box of July and fingers crossed they will dig it out soon!! I want to fill in more of the July spreadsheet!! Even if I *can't* freeze those stupid panes!! laughing.gif

Hmmm - maybe it is a firefox issue... maybe I should try in IE...

By the way, I received my email at 12:30 in the morning, so that would be 10:30 p.m. at CSC. However, I'm sure that's the automated system working overtime. But then, a real person DOES have to input that information. Anyway, I thought it was odd I received the notice at that hour. Don't give up hope! Approval may come in the middle of the night, apparently.

Thanks for posting this information. It's useful to know how and when people receive notification of approval. Makes checking the case update site seem more fruitful tongue.gif

before anyone gets excited (or befuddled) by the fact that the waiting list has gotten shorter by a larger number than those who have received NOA2s, I finally bit the bullet and removed anyone who was still showing as going through Nebraska or Texas... no one has shown an NOA2 from those centres for MONTHS, and face it: it's simply incorrect; if people can't show the right service centre in their timeline, then they don't deserve to be on the list wink.gif

Haha - well said! Thanks for doing that StP biggrin.gif Am currently on mum's puter printing out forms - I hate it! Takes so long and I am always scared something is going to be wrong!!!

Welcome back! Your post made me chuckle and I'm not going to argue about the pre- 30th July filers who will have filed through Nebraska and Texas. I presume they all got moved to either CSC or VSC anyway and people should have updated their timelines accordingly good.gif
Natashabrenda
THanks a lot STP !!!!!!!
I feel honored by that headline! innocent.gif
You know,it's just that James and me have been going by your list ever since you first put it out,so to us that's the offical VJ CSC waiting list and what we go by.
Thanks very much for taking the time to do it!!

Gratzies!! CSC seems to be back on a roll again *hopes she hasn't tempted fate*

Can't believe there are a couple Sept filers in there as well - I think maybe someone has overlooked a box of July and fingers crossed they will dig it out soon!! I want to fill in more of the July spreadsheet!! Even if I *can't* freeze those stupid panes!! laughing.gif

No September approvals as far as I can tell. (going by sent date, not NOA1 date.)

Hmmm - maybe it is a firefox issue... maybe I should try in IE...

NOOOOO!!! Don't do it! IE Is Eviiiiiil!!!!

Thanks for the list again StP! Igor's may be less time-consuming and give instant gratification, but yours shows me higher (83 vs 90). If I concentrate really hard I think I can get CSC to go by your list.

And totally agree on the service center thing. Makes no sense to list the original service center since it has zero bearing on reality.

Hah - I think I was just being lame... I figured it out... only my AOS sheet is confusing me now - you any good with spreadsheets moxie?

I have very basic spreadsheet skillage, but willing to help. Let me know if you need another set of eyeballs to look at it.

See what you guys think - I just posted this in the K-1 section too but would like your thoughts!!!

I've been offered a new contract in the UK up until November which is a great opportunity career wise and it's DOUBLE the pay I recieve now.

The problem is it's a contract until November and we get married in October (provided we get our visa).

Can I take the job, go to the USA for our wedding then come back to the UK and finish the contract and then depart for the US full time? I know there are rules about this but I'm not clear if they make an exceoption for things like work etc.

And no, I can't start the job and then leave in October - it's a project one would have to see out to the bitter end!!!

It's over to you guys.

Aha!! I just copied and pasted it all into a new sheet biggrin.gif Result!!!

No! The reason your petition is in a more favourable position on StP's list is cos you got your NOA1 before me...and a few others who got chucked in the back of a semi-truck for two months back in the summer.

You'll need to get your Advance Parole to be able to leave the country and re-enter, which usually takes at least a month or so. You can file for emergency AP (usually takes a week or less), but this is usually only handed out if there is a family emergency.

You included the $100 "processing gratuity" with your file, didn't you? ... Oh dear. You forgot to include the $100 "processing gratuity," didn't you? Tsk tsk.

See what you guys think - I just posted this in the K-1 section too but would like your thoughts!!!

I've been offered a new contract in the UK up until November which is a great opportunity career wise and it's DOUBLE the pay I recieve now.

The problem is it's a contract until November and we get married in October (provided we get our visa).

Can I take the job, go to the USA for our wedding then come back to the UK and finish the contract and then depart for the US full time? I know there are rules about this but I'm not clear if they make an exceoption for things like work etc.

And no, I can't start the job and then leave in October - it's a project one would have to see out to the bitter end!!!

It's over to you guys.

Have you booked the wedding? If not, then delay entering the US until November. You can enter the US and not use the visa (I think) but if you plan on getting married whilst you there it will have to be an unofficial ceremony since you cannot leave the US following a legal wedding until you have Advanced Parole which you file for with AOS. Leaving the US before you get AP would mean you gave up the visa process and you would then have to apply for K3.

Please correct me if I am wrong guys.

Thanks for the list again StP! Igor's may be less time-consuming and give instant gratification, but yours shows me higher (83 vs 90). If I concentrate really hard I think I can get CSC to go by your list.


No! The reason your petition is in a more favourable position on StP's list is cos you got your NOA1 before me...and a few others who got chucked in the back of a semi-truck for two months back in the summer.

You included the $100 "processing gratuity" with your file, didn't you? ... Oh dear. You forgot to include the $100 "processing gratuity," didn't you? Tsk tsk.

LMAO!! Thanks for almost causing me to spray hot coffee through my nose. That was funny. biggrin.gif


Doh! I thought a packet of biccies would suffice. I'm a cheapskate.

Luckily, I know StP will have a similar reaction if she sees that post.

Thanks Guys,

Nah I'm not gonna delay the wedding for cash and career - I'd rather be broke and happy than rich and pissed off ... Advance Parole - it makes people sound so untrustworthy!!!

Going back to ireland for Christmas will be out too then ... lol.

Well you could be there much earlier if CSC keeps up the momentum. If you're staying until October anyway - then another month might not make that much difference especially as there might be a period of time when you cannot work once you're there. The more money you have to take with you the less stress you're going to feel when you can't earn. That's just one pov tho. I prolly would bite the bullet and just go too if it were me.
