[size="4"][/size] OK !!....I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ONLY FOR CANADIANS (WHICH WOULDNT BE SURPRISING HAHA)

BUT IT SEEMS THAT A NEW VACCIN IS NOW REQUIRED (GARDASIL) AND IT THIS FOR WOMEN BETWEEN 11-26 YEARS OLD... IT TAKES 6 MONTH TO HAVE (DIVIDE BY 3 SHOTS) AND COST BETWEEN 100-300$.

"On another note, I asked (Because i was curious) about the new vaccination (Gardasil) for women ages 11-26. Dr. Chana said that it is a new requirement and is very expensive. You should get it done ASAP. "

SOMEONE THAT GO THEIR INTERVIEW WROTE THAT...

SO MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT WITH YOUR COUNTRY AND EMBASSY.

LUCKY ME....I'M OLDER THAN 26 YEARS OLD HAHA

we don't need it in ukraine. i just had my medical done two days ago. on the other hand, may be they just didn't say anything because i, too, was older than 26

i personally don't think it's very expensive considering what it protects you from (HPV that can lead to cervical cancer.) besides, if persos is covered with health insurance, it can be for free. my two girlfriends in NYC had these shots done a year ago and they were not charged. i'm sure they'll feel safer than me for years to come, at least at this....

oh well...

Yeah, CSC have hurdled themselves back up to a massive 1 approvals per day.

Jan 25 2008, 02:06 PM

Hey now, give em a break. It was a short week because monday was a holiday. That's an impressive 1.25 per business day.

I beleive these are the first petitions that were actaully sent in august to receive NOA2. That's what is a big deal to me. The previous several weeks, they've been cleaning up from may, june and July... so they are obviously moving onward.

Just wanted to add another NOA2 to the list of approvals this week - we got our email this morning

VSC though, not CSC.

Hope everyone is doing well - I've been trying to stay off the forums as much as before, I was going a bit crazy with all the negativity (impossible not to be, right?!).

Will keep ya'll posted on our future progress

CSC filers, you finally have something to be happy about. CSC cranked out an impressive 6 aprovals ont he 25th! That's more than we've had for a whole week anytime from before christmas to present. Mox, you have reason to cheer up yet?

In my best Larry David impression, I can say I'm doing pretty, pretty, pretty good!

CSC finally did start processing K-1's again, and in fact gave VSC a run for its money this week. Sure would be nice to see 6 approvals per day going forward, that would clear out the remainder of the July filers and all of August over about the next ~3 weeks, and all of September a week after that. I won't hold my breath for it to happen, but it would be a pleasant surprise. Go CSC GO!

I hope so all also Mox. I've been out of the loop this past week, just reading the VJ updates the few minutes I've been on the computer each night. Glad to see things are picking up. I knew it was a matter of time and things are back to normal. Hope they stay with it to get past the Sept. filers.

So it seems like people who filed at VSC will start to get their visas in possession as early as March, with the majority of the VSC'ers getting visas in April. When do you think us CSC filers will begin to see our visas issued? I think late April at absolute earliest and May will be where we see the majority of September CSC filers getting visas issued? I will be happy with a first week of May visa issuance or sooner (preferably sooner).

How long it takes you to get your actual visa in hand depends on your consulate. Every consulate is going to be different in terms of how far out they're scheduling interviews. And since we don't even have that much data to tell us what kind of approval rate we can expect going forward from CSC, it's really anyone's guess as to when we can even expect approvals and then shipments to NVC. As for me, I'm expecting my approval from the CSC anwhere from about mid-Fabruary to mid-April.

All of the above is my long-winded way of saying "who knows?"

HI
I filed mine the same time as you did.. I am optomistic that the time line will fall within your estimated time line. I am going to see my fiance in Italy in Febuary and will return the beginning of March. I would be so happy if I got notice noa2 in March.
Best of Luck to you and your fiance..

With the consulate we'll go through, I doubt we'll have the visa until august at the earliest, and that's if everything goes smoothly and there are no more big delays.

Larry David is the co-writer of the series Seinfeld, and the star of his own show on HBO, Curb Your Enthusiasm. The reference I was making is his catch-phrase. You can see an example here at about the 1:18 mark. It's probably not as funny as I think it is.

Yup, it's 3-4 more weeks before NOA2, it's still 3-4 weeks from CSC to NVC, and once it arrives in china, it takes about 5-6 months... the first 2-3 months they even take a look at the petition.

Do you think i might get information on whats going on with my case if i call CSC directly? To do that i guess i would need to come up with a fake receipt number. Can anyone give a modified version of theirs to use?

Do you think they'd actually bother to check up on it without a receipt number?
