well thanks for thinking about us poor CSC filers. we are so untouched an unloved. but i am glad you guys are flying. maybe the CSC will get embarrassed into working a bit harder. Congrats to all recent approvals

just wishing every one a happy day

we are one step closer with each setting of the sun so

hang in there

Yay! So glad to hear it. Maybe the CSC will start getting more on the ball.

WE JUST GOT OUR APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe it. Almost forgot to breathe.




My heart goes out to all those couples that are still waiting for their approval. You'll make it through!

OMG!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks Laura. I'm sure you two will be next. Fingers and toes crossed for you!!!![/color]

Thank you

I'm expecting the unexpected....trying very hard not to get my hopes up.

Congratulations!!


Will CSC ever catch up?

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations!!!!!!!

It's good to see movement at either centre (although I will admit there are days I wish we were going through VSC). Congratulations to anyone who gets lucky and gets processed quickly!

I'm just happy to see my name moving up the waiting list of VJ people going through CSC - gives me a sense of getting closer to being approved!

Another December approval - exactly 2 months from NOA1 - NOA2!!!!

They are picking up the pace.....I wish you all luck!

Thank you!!!

I am in chock!! It is like everything is just spinning around me...
I really have to cellebrate today!!

WOW.. my babe is getting a big kiss today!!!
-Yes I am visiting him while we are waiting.. I am probably going to get the letter from the embassy before I even get home to Sweden (April 7th) But that is ok I am just so right now I can't really put it to words.

Who knows how long I had to wait if I didn't have you guy to help me - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I'm sure you two are going to have a fantastic weekend!!! I hope this good fortune will follow you throughout the rest of this process.

Congratulations!!!! this is awesome

I'm completely amazed at the fast turn around from Vermont lately. I pray they keep it going and it spreads to all the centers

awesome congratulations

congratulations

Wow!! Congrat!!!

VSC is doing really nice work.

Thank you so much!!
I am having my fingers crossed for everyone out there too!!!
I know you ALL deserve an approval NOW!! To wait is hard, but to wait and be apart is even harder, I am lucky that I could drop everything at home to be with my man during the wait. But I guess the wait isn't really over yet but I feel excited about the future now that we have gotten one step closer.

I even bought a new pair of shoes just now.. I felt like I had to celebrate a bit for myself before my honey gets home from work.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

WOW!!!! Congratulations. I think you're the 1st Jan. NOA1 approval! My NOA1 receipt date was Jan. 2.
Best of luck to you both!
TJ&Alena

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who got approved!!!!

congratulations to everybody who got approved ,,,,,csc filers are left behind ...well its not our time yet we need a lot of patience... it will come soon.....lets pray......

October filers are starting to get approved so I guess we need to wait two more months.

Stay strong!

I'm hoping this week is the week Nick and I get our approval!!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Same for us! Our NOA1 date is just a few days from yours so I am always excited to see you post.
We're keeping our fingers crossed!

VSC is cranking them out! I hope you December filers see your approvals this week! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

CSC seems to be picking the pace up at least. Best wishes to you folks.

My heart goes out to everyone who is still waiting for an approval.
Be strong - just think you are getting MARRIED THIS YEAR!!!

Just thinking about that makes me so excited!!!
Anyone have an input on some nice wedding ideas for a civil wedding?!

I've been having a really emotional day. I've cried a bit and just felt overall sadness. I miss my Nick terribly.
Your words really helped.
so, thank you.

If it's of any help, I know what it feels like. This process is an emotional rollercoaster, especially since you can't be with the one person that means everything to you. I've had plenty of meltdowns and even though we got the approval last week, I'm still not my emotional self. All I can say is that the positive side of those really bad days and a really good cry is that you usually feel at least a bit better afterwards for a while.

Hang in there Laura. All the wait is worth it in the end. In a few months we won't have to communicate with our SOs over the phone, Skype, email anymore.

You'll make it through. My thoughts are with you!!! I'm sure the approval is on the way!!!!!

Laura, I'm sending you warm hugs ....

I guess it is always different to be wishing congrats to people who have filed before you but when you start seeing people who filed within your time frame and even those who filed later than you getting approval left and right, there is just a painful sting even though you are genuinely happy for those who got their approvals really fast.

I'm praying you get your approval this week Laura... and I am praying all those who have been waiting for months will also get their approvals soonest... and I am praying for CSC to keep up with VSC soon... Sending hugs to everyone

God speed!!!

Thanks hon
You know, I'd say I'm a pretty positive person. I'm always able to tell others to stay positive.
It's not the length of time. We only filed just over 2 months ago. I prepared myself for a 4 to 6 month wait. It's seeing others around me who filed at the same time and quite a bit after me being approved that sucks. I feel left behind.
Thanks for your words sweetie



Thank you sweetheart! Your words are very kind and I appreciate it very very much!!!

I hope that all of us still waiting get our approvals very soon!

We are not frequent posters, but frequent readers of December K-1 forum. If it will be any comfort to any of you, I want to let you know that we received our approval notice vial email today stating that a letter was sent in the mail (NOT snail mail - USPS is my beloved employer:) ) on 24th. Don't ask me how they send a letter on Sunday.

I-129F was sent via USPS on Dec 9th to VSC and received on the 10th (not a bad service for the price huh)

NOA 1 was received after a couple of days.

My beloved noticed a touch on 2/17 (like most of you had)

She noticed another touch today, 2/25

Just saw the approval notice in email.

My guess is that everbody with a touch on 2/17 will get the approval notice sooner or later. I heard that cases are being split between employees and different employees work with cases of different difficulties and some may take a bit longer than others. (I am not 100% sure if that's the process).

Good Luck to Everyone. I know how frustrating it can be, but good things shall come.

Muthue and Jochan.

congratulations!

Take heart Laura, you have encouraged alot of people. I think you're REAL close to NOA2. (Hope all of us are!)
Heading back to Ukraine Friday for a week - but I know after that it will be quite some time before I see Alena again. Anyway - stay busy - go somewhere - do something because to me when I'm home doing nothing that's when it can get a bit tough.
Take care and best wishes!!!

Thanks sweetheart!!!
Have a wonderful and safe trip to see your Alena!!!
Smiles.

I got touched 2/17/08 and I didn't notice until today. WOOT
Best wish to everyone. I hope we get ours NOA2 this week also. That would be awesome!

By the way, what is the next process after we get our NOA2 ???

Your case is sent to the Visa Center and one month later to the consulate of the fiance country, the consulate then get in touch with the foreign that has been petitioned in the case.

Hi there...we are sending the package tomorrow....I hope its okay...we are very excited...good luck to you guys!

At the rate CSC is going I think the earliest I can hope for is April - which would be wonderful - but it does bite a little bit seeing people who filed just before and some even AFTER we did, but who are lucky enough to be going through VSC, getting approved already. Don't get me wrong, I am utterly delighted for everyone who gets approved in such a speedy fashion, but it's difficult when Mark is returning to the US next week and I'm left knowing I won't see him again until I get to move over there because we can't either of us afford another visit this year. It's even harder when he's saying to me that he doesn't want to wait until the fall to get married and would marry me tomorrow if it meant he could take me home with him.

Ah well, all the waiting will be worth it in the end! And maybe we'll get lucky and get our NOA2 at the beginning of April - which means I might be able to move as early as July

We got touched on Monday the 25th. i called that day a did the RFE trick, I was told she couldn't give any info since the system was back logged. so i am guessing this touch only means she entered my case number in the system. but hey at least i hope this means our file hasn't fallen behind a desk.

Hoping for our NOA2 tonight!!!
It's our 16th month anniversary today! LOL

I'm so hoping you get your NOA2 soon!!! Very, very, very soon!

Thanks sweetie!!
I hope everyone still waiting gets theirs so soon.

I hope so too Laura! Then I can finally quit stalking you!!

Good Luck on getting it tonight

Stalkidy stalk stalk stalk!
NO don't stop, I kinda like it!! LOL
