You always get lost somewhere! But so glad you had such a wonderful time. I had a peek at your photos too, you look beautiful and what a gorgeous place you found for the wedding.

Hello to Everyone from snowy Russia!!!

First of all, a big Congratulation to all the recent approvals!

And also to update everyone on our own progress here, Elina had her interview on the 27th, and was approved. We got the passport with the visa stamp on the 29th. Now we are getting packed and ready to go. We'll be flying back to Cali on the 5th. WooHooo!!!

YAY!! Gratzies!!!

Now for admin - you flying into LAX or somewhere else? I'll fill in your info on the spreadsheet

Hrmm... I can't find you - AHHH!! I thought you were July!! OMG - this is making me feel "old"

Thanks Aly!

Nope, I'm an August filer. We've been around here for so long though, it's not hard to get confused. After a while things start to blur.

We'll be flying into SFO.

Great to hear from you Igor! Congratulations to you and Elina and a safe journey home. I am so excited for you

Congratulations That is awesome! Best wishes and good luck!

Igor, congratulations to you both!!!!! Woot!!!

Please do a report on the POE. Nadya will also be coming through SFO and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. The last time I came back from Russia I went through SFO and found the experience to be pretty organized and efficient. Of course I'm USC so my experience is going to be from that standpoint, but hopefully Elina will have an organized and efficient process too. Certainly having you by her side will help.

Again, congrats!!!

Hey everyone,

Let's hope for a good week at CSC. It's our 154 day anniversary since sending our application in and this time 222 days we will be getting married.

Now, everyone do that jedi mind trick this week that the CSC drones will clear our file.

R

Will do my best!!!

CSC had better do something. I look at the CSC list today and I have actually gone backwards over the weekend. How frustrating to be down to 105 and then pop back to 108. Still way back when I first was on the list I was a little over 300 and now the list ends in the 200's so there is some sort of progress.

I know what you mean, I can't get past 200 - perhaps this week will be the week! Good luck to you and all CSC filers!


Also, congratulations to Karya & Kim, July filers that were finally approved on Friday!!!

Amen to that .......... we are number seventy something on the out of normal processing time.......

Activating Jedi mind trick...NOW!

Way to go, Igor -- si, man!

Come on Obi Wan, lets try it again - the drones are not responding. Who ever is managing the CSC has got to be embarassed at the way the VSC (which is only a third of the size) has been approving more petitions.....makes it hard to show up at the cocktail parties. Lets Go CSC!!!!

Help us Obi Wan ... you're our only hope!!!

No...there is another...

(gawd I'm such a geek)

Well a typical Monday from CSC. They do absolutely nothing. They have twice the applications of vermont and do half the work. This is starting to get ridiculous.

I'm starting to think that CSC has gotten the directive to put priority on the citzenship files so they can get more voters in for the november election.

Impressive... most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well...

Keep Squeezing..... the CSC approved two October filers today: s&m and ShaSha & Chris Congratulations to you both and good luck on your journey!!!!

Patience has become something very real to me at this point. Good luck to all of us CSC filers.

Day 156 since we sent our package away ... been assigned an officer desk since the 20th of February ... this is he ...



Seriously though, not funny!!!

What a great DAY ! I woke up and found our NOA -2 waiting for us !! I hope that everyone who is waiting experiences the same soon !!!!!!!! Oh Happy Day

Congratulations, Chris & Olya Best of luck on the rest of your journey!
AND I couldn't agree more, I too hope the rest that have been waiting so long, get theirs soon!!

Wow!!! Congratulations you two - this is great news. Best of luck with the rest of your journey!

Oh yeah, don't forget to update the timeline

Congratulations to all recent approvals!!!

Congratulations for the 4 approvals of the beginning of this week!

Gratzies! Glad to see at least they have one officer who is awake

APPROVED - checked online and it says that the petition has been approved and that NOA2 has been sent to us!!!

Dood luck to all those still waiting - you will get there!

Cheers,

Mark

Congratulations markjo!

Congratulations to Fabian & Speirs!

Gratzies!!!

After feeling a bit down because the Vermonters are getting through so fast I have finially hit 100 in the K1 list. I will be in the single digits any time. ( Hey I will take any reason to celibrate )

There's a chance I might crack 200 I keep making a run up to the line, only to fall back at the start of the new week when prior filers join the site - or some people set up two profiles (you think they'd share the password).

Congratulations on today's approvals, keep em rolling!

Well if it helps, most people never go into the top 50 before being approved. So subtract 50 or so...congratulations you've just cracked 200.

gratzies to me!!

Congratulations, markjo, Best of luck on the rest of your journey!

Another Congratulations to Jia & Don, October filers who were approved today


And I officially broke the 200 line as well, a special thanks to you two!!

Woot! Congrats!!!!

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to report that we've arrived home last night. The POE at SFO was a breeze. Sure helps going through together; we went through the USC line this way and the officer didn't even ask any questions. Just took the packet, opened it, took a brief look through the contents, informed us about the 90 day limit, had Elina do the biometrics, and that was it.

So happy to be home together again!

Congratulations! Must be wonderful!

Best of luck and much happiness to you both.

congratulations welcome to the USA

Welcome home Igor and Elina!!! I'm so happy for you both...hopefully Elina will adapt to our bay area weather quickly.

Thanks!

Not that she needs much adapting, she's lived here for half a year before, but she is definitely enjoying a nice sunny day today

Yeah, it's been great weather here too, just a couple hours south of you. She couldn't have picked a better time of year to come. She'll get to enjoy the entire summer from start to finish!

Oh My Goodness! Jeff just called me! We received a letter from the NVC dated the 3rd of March stating that our I-129F has been forwarded to London already! We didn't get a touch, an email or an NOA2. I am so happy I thought this day would never come, but here it is! Thanks to all for the support and guidance, you are a great bunch of people, I oculdn't have gotten through this without your help! (A very happy) Angela xxx

Woohoo! Congrats!

That's great news!!! Nice to know you both got through the USC line as well - I am going to be flying home with Jeremy in June and will want to go through with him Not sure what POE yet though - prolly LAX



Gratzies! That is great news! London is pretty fast as well so you should hear more soon

Congratulations - gotta love those stealth approvals!!! Good luck on the next step, you're almost there!
