Breathing! All that happy dancing does tire you out!

congrats to all of the October filiers who received their NOA2. Hopefully mine will be coming this week as well. In the meantime, I'll be sipping on some Remy Martin. hahaah.

OOh....pour me some in my snifter too!! I have to wait a few more weeks (hopefully sooner) for my NOA2.

Well James called them on the 26th,so we got touched on the 26th and the 27th-normal.BUT-we got touched AGAIN today........... Approval (finally after several ppl that filed after us got it) coming in for us??????????
Nat

I do hope you get your NOA2 soon, Natasha! I hope you get the good new soon!!!

Keep your eye on that USCIS website, Natasha - I bet this is it!!

OMG OMG OMG!! We have been approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its off to the NVC!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meridien are you a psychic????
Good Luck to everyone who's still waiting,it is nerve wrecking but I can tell you the second you see that e mail saying Approval Notice Sent you feel like a mountain has been lifted off your shoulders.
We are very happy!
Nat

Congratulations to Andres and Diana and Natasha!

CSC finally seems to be picking up the pace a little. And yes, it really does lift the weight of a mountain off your shoulders.

Awesome!!! Congrats!!

MERIDIEN, If you are psychic....can you give me your prediction of my NOA2 date? LOL

CONGRATULATIONS Natashabrenda..bet you are ALL smiles now...knew for a fact how you feel...HEAVENLY!!!! dancing with you! Goodluck to the rest of the journey!

Congratulations NatashaBrenda and Andres and Diana.

Congrats everyone!

Congratulations!!!! This is an exciting week for the October filers thread!!!

LuciansGirl - my psychic powers say that you will get your approval within the next 7 days....

It's a very exciting week, indeed!!
7 days sound good to me....thanks, Meridien!

Congrats!!! Woot!!!

I called and got through to CSC on the 26th and the guy said my case had been assigned to an officer recently, but that's all he could tell me. Anyone know if that means anything? I got touched the 26th and 27th following the call.. I wonder if some officers are slower than others.. hehe

It could mean everything, or perhaps nothing, as far as the wait is concerned. The one thing we do know is CSC is working on a lot of October filers right now. Some people called, some people didn't call. In both scenarios, couples have been approved. You are right on my time line and my first touch was the 27th. Hopefully for everyone, there are many more coming!

Good Luck

Congrats!






Congrats!

congratulations to the new approvals! I'm hoping for mine soon!

I was just checking to see if you got your approval already:(...

I hope Meridien is right and that you'll get your NOA2 in 7days... 1st week of March will be D WEEK!!!

Good luck sis!

Hi my dear friend, dbears!!! Thank you so much for the well wishes!! I really appreciate yours and everybody else's encouraging words. I hope you get your NOA2 soon....I know you will. Keep me posted, sis!!!

i hope we all get ours soon seeing as we're so close in timelines.

i'm so happy for all the recent approvals even though i won't deny i'm a tad jealous.

oh please...........how many of you can honestly say you're not quietly cursing when you see VSC filers whizzing through. lol

we've resisted the urge to call..... and will now just sit back and wait.

the thing is i'll be in Dallas next week for two weeks training. i'll of course see my SO as he's going to fly out to see me so i know it will be worth it, i'm just hoping we're together at the time it does, or when it does come through.

what do you reckon? where all the clairvoyants at?

We will get our NOA2 soon, Roselinda!
That's great you will be with your SO next week....it'll help with the wait. It would be a nice bonus though if you get the good news while you're together.

Wait! Who's the clarboyant? Who do we have to talk to so that we can get an idea when our case will be approved?

Who wants to take a bet on ours?

Besos,

-N

They have touched us 3 times this week and I hope to get NOA2 before March 15....

Wow, I hope the good news comes soon, al and lola!! Hopefully next week you'll get it!!

I think we may get ours by March 24th. The number 24 appeared in my dreams late last year and I couldn't figure out why I kept dreaming of it. Then last week, I dreamt of number 3. It would be freaky if we do get it on 3/24.




Hang in there, nineta!! You may want to ask the Mighty Meridien for his predictions!

Thanks much for the "hang in there message"!

Mighty Meridien, would you be so kind and let us know a little bit more?

Thanks!

-N

This might be a stupid question but I think we all know how these little things pop up in our heads throughout this whole process! hehe
Anyway, I got my hard copy NOA2 in the mail today. And it says that the packet is being, "forwarded to the listed consulate." There isn't a consulate listed on the actual NOA2 so I'm wondering if they mean the consulate we requested on our paperwork. I'm just wondering if there is any where that I can check that they are forwarding it to London as my fiance has dual citizenship in the UK and New Zealand. Thanks!

The Mighty Meridien has peered into her crystal ball and sees an approval this week for Al and Lola...Here is my happy dance for their upcoming approval...

I will keep you posted with other predictions as they come to me...

I have a question that's going to seem pretty stupid, but I have to ask it. Background info first, and then the question.

When you go to the "Guides" here, on VisaJourney, and look at the example G325A forms (one for the petitioner and one for the petitioner's fiance'), they are exactly the same. Down at the bottom, there is a bold rectangular space where the APPLICANT is supposed to write their full name and A number, if there is an A number.

Because it is unclear on the "Guides", the question is: When the G325A is filled out for the alien fiance', whose name goes inside that rectangular box at the bottom?

I think that I am the applicant and my alien fiance' is the beneficiary, so my name should go inside that box, even on my fiance's G325A. Am I correct?

Tars

You are filling out 2 sets of G-325A. On the set for yourself, you are entering your own information. Thus you are the "applicant." On the set for your fiancee, she is the "applicant," so her information goes in those boxes on her forms. If you or your fiancee don't have an A-number, enter "None."

I forgot that it actually says "applicant". That does make it pretty unclear. Basically it is a poorly drafted form used for multiple purposes. But yes, as Mox said, you put your name as "applicant" on the set with your information and your fiancee's name in the "applicant" box on the other set.

We are supposed to get 8 inches of snow with heavy winds tomorrow, so I will be home all day with nothing to do but obsessively call the NVC to see if they got my petition.

Sorry, I did not see this post sooner. Congratulations on the NOA2! If he is living in the UK, they should be sending it to London. My fiance also has dual citizenship (UK/Canada) and ours will go to Vancouver.

I called CSC today using TBone's tips...spoke with a very nice officer that gave me Barry's A number...checked where my file was...then told me...it's still on a shelf and has not been assigned...~sigh~....but...she said they are currently working on October apps and mine may be another month....

We filed around the same time, debbylyn. I really have to pray for a lot more patience.....but i know the day will eventually come when we receive our NOA2.

It's good you're visiting your fiance....helps to take your mind off this terrible wait.

Good luck to us all still waiting for approvals!!

Good Luck to you too! Hopefully we will get some good news soon!


I'm lucky to be able to get the time off to visit Barry for 12 days....coming up soon...I can't wait! Then back home for more waiting....

Hopefully by the time you get back, you'll have a surprise waiting for you in your mailbox, Deb!!

Ill be checking my mail from London everyday I'm there...lol....and the website too!!!!

I hope this is my month

I filed on Oct. 9 and still nothing from the VSC stupid RFE

I would even take a RFE

It always seems like nothing happens on Mondays, or it is notoriously slow for approvals. Here is wishing, hoping, praying.. whatever it takes, to get both service centers to unleash the NOA2's!

It will be nice to see October rocking again! Good Luck!

According to my timeline I should be seeing some kind of movement around 11th March.

I can't believe how we've resisted the temptation to call.....lol

Although my SO has itchy fingers right now.

The only reason I am calm is because i'm off to Dallas on Sunday for two weeks work training, so one way or another I will get 'bleedin' touched

I'm going to keep spying on Lucian as we're so close. So watch out guys, I'm on your case......lol

Another congrats to any new Octobiler filers i've missed. ''What?'' ''Me? Jealous? NEVER!!''

RFE Problems

I received a RFE on 02/19/2008 and responded on 02/20/2008. On 02/22/2008 received email notice saying that the document was received. Since then I have 3 touches in a row on the 25th, 26th and 27th. After that nothing no update or anything. I have called twice and no one can tell me anything but that my case is under review. Has anyone had a similar experience.

Hi Roselinda!

You should get your NOA2 way before I do cuz you filed in September. But it's good you're going to see your fiance....it will definitely help break this agonizing wait.

Good luck to you and to all others waiting for approvals (including moi).

OOh! by the way.........my dad is from St Lucia......lol!

I was there a few years ago in Dennery. Is that spelt right?

Managed to pick up all the 'naughty' patois words....
