Oh and a question-
does anyone know whether the passport style pics for the medical and the Interview have to be NEW ? Or can I use the ones submitted with the I 129F for the Medical? Or if I get pics taken now can I use them for the Medical as well as the Interview???
Nat

They're technically supposed to be new. I would not use the same pics as you filed with. If you're certain that neither of you are going to change your appearance much before the interview/medical then it's probably safe to just do them now and get it out of the way.

I think they always ask for pics that have been taken within the last 6 months. So if you have ones left over from before and its still less than 6 months when you have your medical or interview i dont see why not. good.gif

Maybe the website is down?? After such a roll of approvals it seems odd that there wasnt a single one yesterday.........

K thanks for the answer to my question.So I will just go and get pics of my son and me done next week and use them for both.Here you always have to get 4 pics done so it would really be a waste of money if we had to go twice.And aslo this keeps me from getting a haircut.........LOL.Gotta keep my hair at least that length for the wedding,afterwards I WILL CUT IT again!!!
Oh and there is no Approvals out of Vermont from yesterday either so I say website is down.......

Congrats to Karen & Daniel, May filers who received NOA2 yesterday. Give them a big "zomg it's about freaking time" round of applause!

Oh, and here's the note from their timeline: "Took more than 7 months for CSC to send us an RFE for missing to fill in a N.A. besides the None under Family Name of Husband/Wife in form G325A of beneficiary." sad.gif

Glad you're approved now, things should start moving a lot faster for you now.

Well I'm just glad you're past it now. You'll find DoS a lot easier to work with. Congrats again, I'm always happy to see someone approved who's been waiting so long. You really deserve this.

Well..having just logged on and not having read any following responses, you would need new photos, at least that's what's required in Japan and what I've seen by posters from other countries. The Tokyo embassy even has a photo booth there since the size pics required are very difficult to find in Japan.

And since my puter froze up here at work yesterday...congrat's good.gif to all of the new approvals from the day before yesterday on! I got one congrats in and boom...dead computer sad.gif

Sounds like you had a real jerk of an adjudicator to me. Probably the same guy that started sending RFE's for handwritten dates on photos.

Yes, must be. It depends on the luck, and we were just unlucky. Hope things will move faster after getting out from CSC.

Wow, that's just ridiculous. I have read and been told by the uscis (rfe people) that the petitioner and beneficiary undergo name check/security check/background checks BEFORE the file is adjucated so that would explain waiting 7 months just to be told to fill in a blank with n/a. It's a messed up process.

I called again yesterday since the officer I spoke to Tuesday never called back like she said she would (oh yeah you're all nice when i'm on the phone and then probably threw my number in the garbage mad.gif ). The guy I got yesterday said "wait a minute, didn't you just call yesterday?" Me thinks to myself: "Wow, so you DO keep records of some kind organized and at your fingertips? Impressive." and explained how I called Tuesday to check on my file because in December I was told I could check back again in January.
I got the same answer that it's in name checks...no idea how long it's been there...no idea how much longer it'll be there...you can check back every 30-60 days, thank you. Umm WHAT???!!!

This is so crazy. I have never been arrested, have no traffic violations even, nothing. My fiance's record is just as spotless. I don't understand this. I'm so scared that they have me mixed up with someone else who DOES have a record or something.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I live in fear of it too, and one of the regulars in the Russian forum spent (if I remember correctly) over 4 months in name check. The hopefully good news is that this length of time in name check is rare. Most likely your fiance's name is similar to someone elses, and the computer kicked it out and said it needed a manual review. So what will happen is someone will manually review it, make sure your fiance is not this same person, and then approve it. Unfortunately this often takes time, and the FBI agent assigned to perform your check also has other duties, so it may not be his top priority. I wish the system worked better than that, but this is just how it works right now.

Be strong, hopefully you'll hear something soon. rose.gif

I wouldn't even consider it until you start seeing other December filers start receiving approvals. It's way too early to be calling right now.

Just got the NO2A hard copy in the mail. It is a relief to see it because there is always something in the back of my mind that I hope that email is not a mistake for another filers. Good luck to all. Mox, hope your next buddy. Sorry other filers but I got to root for the Bay Area home team filers. I thought I would see many more approval Wed., but this game sucks.

Wow! Way to go CSC. And Mox, you realize you're not allowed to leave this thread....ever. You are a great source of information. Thank you.

Haha thanks!

As of a few minutes ago: Phil & Jen. Congratulations!!

Yes, Congratulations to the recent approvies!

youwhooooooo! I went from 270 to 226 in one week! At this rate I'll be approved by the end of March. kicking.gif

err.... On second thought, why the difference between the two lists - The one that STP shows me at 226 while the other spreadsheet on this thread shows me at 250, Is it because people haven't been updating timelines or people no longer active? Just curious, I know I'm in this for the long haul. yes.gif

Congrats to Karen & Daniel, May filers who received NOA2 yesterday. Give them a big "zomg it's about freaking time" round of applause!

Oh, and here's the note from their timeline: "Took more than 7 months for CSC to send us an RFE for missing to fill in a N.A. besides the None under Family Name of Husband/Wife in form G325A of beneficiary." sad.gif

Glad you're approved now, things should start moving a lot faster for you now.


Yeah huge gratzies guys!! That is an obscene amount of time to be waiting around for! Am so glad you can finally move on with things - you're an inspiration to others who have been waiting so long - if we can get through this we can get through anything!

QUOTE(CBR @ Feb 7 2008, 06:55 PM) *
Wow, that's just ridiculous. I have read and been told by the uscis (rfe people) that the petitioner and beneficiary undergo name check/security check/background checks BEFORE the file is adjucated so that would explain waiting 7 months just to be told to fill in a blank with n/a. It's a messed up process.

I called again yesterday since the officer I spoke to Tuesday never called back like she said she would (oh yeah you're all nice when i'm on the phone and then probably threw my number in the garbage mad.gif ). The guy I got yesterday said "wait a minute, didn't you just call yesterday?" Me thinks to myself: "Wow, so you DO keep records of some kind organized and at your fingertips? Impressive." and explained how I called Tuesday to check on my file because in December I was told I could check back again in January.
I got the same answer that it's in name checks...no idea how long it's been there...no idea how much longer it'll be there...you can check back every 30-60 days, thank you. Umm WHAT???!!!

This is so crazy. I have never been arrested, have no traffic violations even, nothing. My fiance's record is just as spotless. I don't understand this. I'm so scared that they have me mixed up with someone else who DOES have a record or something.


CBR - I am sooo sorry they are still being a-holes. I logged on this morning (PST hehe!!) hoping that one of the 5 pms was yours saying to update you on the spreadshee but no luck sad.gif Am keeping you in my thoughts as you defo deserve your turn now - keep strong and know that whatever happens, things have a way of working out if they are meant to smile.gif

regrading the RFE trick. how soon in the process should that be done? we have only filed in late DEC 07 and it has sat since the check was cashed on 3 Jan 08?

I wouldn't even consider it until you start seeing other December filers start receiving approvals. It's way too early to be calling right now.


Agreed - Even before the huge July backlog they were quoting a 90 day turnaround before you should consider calling. On VJ they suggest that if it gets to ten days after your projected approval date shown at the bottom of your timeline then you should try calling then as well. Keep the faith - you will get there soon - things seem to (tentatively) be picking up smile.gif

QUOTE(mox @ Feb 7 2008, 09:44 PM) *
Congratulations to Watcharee & Thomas, September CSC filers approved today!

This is an extra special approval, best of luck to you both!



Gratzies guys - am glad to see that CSC does get things right occasionally and despite the unfortunate (ok that is a really bad euphemism but I am rubbish at this stuff) circumstances I am really happy that things have at least worked out in terms of your wedding plans - now get on with the planning and have a day to remember!!

*hugs to all* As most of you can prolly tell by now I have made it to the other side for three weeks so am a lot less stressed despite the non-legal wedding being on Monday - EEP!! Have normal nerves but nothing too untoward. Will prolly not be making it on too often though as will be in Hawaii for a couple weeks and before that am busy with wedding stuff. Jeremy is at work today though so thought I would hang out a bit before sitting and chilling by the pool! Sunshine is glorious and intend to try and get some color into my pasty spoty skin before the wedding!!!

Well once again I've lost track of who I've congrat'd

Uh, Mox... the correct verb is "gratzied," ain't it? I thunked that this was common knowledge, si man. Aly may be tempted to smack you for your ilitrisy. The good news is that we're not Italians, because then we'd have to write "ringraziamente" all the time, si man.

Incidentally, the EB (Ecuadorian Babe) got her DHL yesterday and liked everything inside, especially the several romantic greeting-cards in Spanish, purchased conveniently right here in Tejas (Spanish spelling -- get used to it). She did inquire why there were no fotos (Spanish spelling, much more sensible than ours) of me in it. (I have sent her all that exist, si man!) Finally, I have just bought my ticket to Ecuador (convenient 5.5-hour nonstops on Continental, including dinner both ways, and something like 4,780 frequent-flyer miles to come from it, to replenish those that I used the last two times). Si, man!

On second thought, why the difference between the two lists - The one that STP shows me at 226 while the other spreadsheet on this thread shows me at 250, Is it because people haven't been updating timelines or people no longer active? Just curious, I know I'm in this for the long haul. yes.gif

There are 3 reasons for differences between lists:

1. StP sorts the list by the NOA1 date. I sort the list by the sent date.
2. We are most likely using different criteria for filtering out timelines of people no longer active.
3. I don't know about StP, but I'm also including in my list the petitions sent to NSC and TSC that were then transferred to CSC.

I'm 202 on one list and 208 on the other - either way it's exciting to see yourself getting closer to the front of the queue!

Incidentally, the EB (Ecuadorian Babe) got her DHL yesterday and liked everything inside, especially the several romantic greeting-cards in Spanish

Very cool, things seem to be moving forward quite nicely.

She did inquire why there were no fotos (Spanish spelling, much more sensible than ours) of me in it.

I'm really coming around to the phonetic way of spelling. (ironically, "phonetic" is not pronounced phonetically. Huh.) Russian is a really difficult language to learn, but thank goddess it's a phonetic language (with rare exceptions). I think one of Nadya's biggest problems with learning English was that it's not phonetic. Well that and the fact there is no "th" sound in Russian. Phrases like "thank you" are tough (and humorous to me) because she has to really concentrate and enunciate. It comes out like "thhhh ankyou." smile.gif

Tank you, fank you... if she can approach the "th" sound, simply be alert to whether she has just taken a mouthful of crisp saltine crackers -- in this event, duck! Quack, man. By the way, what became of the pancake-bunny? The link now brings up a blank page. This situation is dire.

Let's hope no one turned him into a bunny-cake...that would indeed be sad, but probably tasty to someone? Ohooo

The "ir" sound in "Kirk" is particularly hard for her too. She can either do "Keerk" (with a rolling "R") or "Kuh-RRR-keh." We both prefer the former. smile.gif She is, however, quite adamant about the pronunciation of her own name. It is "Nah-dyeh" not "Nad-ee-yah."

If you're at work, it's quite possible that your company blocks Flickr. You'll have to get your pancake bunny fix at home I'm afraid.

It didn't block it before, but if Aly confirms its continuing presence, gratzies on the discovery. And why would I want to neuter the bunny in the first place, much less at home?
