I wuvs ya too, cuz! So happy about your NOA2!

oh, everyone's being so nice; I'm getting all teary <- happy

one of my housemates started crying when I told her in the kitchen this morning

Congratulations on all recent approvals !

I can't help but be nice to a fellow monobrow! Me must stick together! Its monobrowtastic! (Did ya notice my new customer member title??? )

Its great that your room mate gets it! I also have been so lucky to have friends and colleagues truly happy for me to reach this milestone!

*group hug*

That's great news! Congratulations!

not only did I see your custom title, julez, but it inspired mine, which up til a few minutes ago had been the highly imaginative 'platinum member'

and yes, SO lovely when people understand... otherwise they see you turning cartwheels, and say excitedly 'oh, did you get your visa????' and you have to say 'oh no; I won't have that for months yet' and they're all

Very nice new customer title! So glad I was an inspiration to you! Monobrowed megalomaniacs of the world UNITE!

StillthePrettiest congratulations! That's awesome!!

congratulations stilltheprettiest!!!!!!!! wonderful news!!!!!!!!!

i wish i had a unibrow

oh, and btw, ive always wanted to comment on your signature, but never have....its HILLARIOUS!

sure?

Congratulations StillThePrettiest!!!!

is that your fiance?!

oh wow wow, thats terrifying

i take it back

what is packet 3?

packet 3 is a checklist of documents that the embassy will mail to the beneficiary

it will tell you which documents you need to mail into the embassy, and which ones you will need to bring with you to the interview...once you turn in packet 3, the embassy will mail you packet 4 which will tell you your interview date

go to that link for the packet 3 from the embassy my fiance and i are using, in tirana...it wont be exactly the same as yours, but it will be similar

Some embassies are combining packet 3 and 4, in which case you will only get one.

yea, why cant they all do that? its so much more efficient

COME ON VSC!!!!!!!!! Where are all the approvals! pleeeeeeeease don't slow down now...

no, my fiancé has a bit more facial hair... and fewer teeth

thanks guys - i just wanted to make sure that i got the lingo right. I did get a list from a fellow VJ'er about what to expect from the embassy in Guyana and also what I should get together before our interview. I just wanted to make sure I wans't missing something in between.

I love the Adjudicator Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea, that is hillarious

Just been catching up on the other thread and this one... Congrats on all the approvals in the last week!!! I am so glad they are finally moving again!

Sorry to hear about your RFE Steph I am sure it will be something simple

approvals? anyone?

hey , just saw another one:
NOA1 08/10 NOA2 12/07

CONGRATS!!!!!

VSC is sleeping today it seems

OO an approval, congrats!

Thanks! I am feeling better about it today. It is what it is. I will send in what I need to as soon as I get the letter and start the waiting game again. I just hope it won't take forever.

Congratulations on all the approvals today!!!

Thanks!

I didn't get an approval today, but I picked up my wedding dress. Can't be a bad day

awww that's awesome!! i picked mine up about a month after i filed for the visa, not knowing when I would ever get married!

If we ever get approved, Bella and I are going to name our next child Adjudicator.

Congratulations guess u survived Mordor

I agree it's a silver lining that they won't be wasting my time checking for a touch.
I got a response from my Senator's staffer re my inquiry. They said as of 12/5 (one day prior to 6 months) it is with an officer and I should hear shortly. Yeah right, I'm so optimistic now that they said I'll hear something shortly... darn the website is down (sarcastic smiley)
At least they know it exists (probably just 'found' mine 12/5 when staffer called). I'm kind of at peace with it as I don't expect much from them or my senator at this point. It's like a traffic jam now, just turn on the radio and it will be over when it's over

OK. Unless I am going blind, we have had two approvals announced by members who never updated their timelines. Won't you please, please, please update your timeline?

APPROVED HERE!

Congratulations!

A new approval:

Giselle & James (gisedavis). Sent 7-25, NOA1 8-22, approved 12-7

That makes 18 for the month and the week not including the 2 who have not updated their timelines.

November is now up to 90.

Bill? Where is your stinkin' NOA2? I check all day everyday looking for your announcement! I think I want your approval almost as much as you do!

C'mon VSC give Bill his NOA2 NOW!!!!! I need to be able to relax!

Yeah come on VSC, give Bill his NOA2 and also in addition to that please give me mine, because it's sitting right next to his....!!

*mystic Meg voice*

Bill will get his NOA2 this week

so will Jeraly... oh PLEASE make it true!!

There have been so many approvals from late July that I began wondering if May, June and early July had really been skipped over. So of course I had to do some research.


The lack of late June and early July approvals reported recently makes sense because it looks like those periods are 3/4 finished. The question still remains as to why May and the 1st half of June is lagging behind. It could be petitions from May have more than the normal number of RFE's and complicated name checks. The first half of June could have the same problems but it seems strange that only 63% of petitions have been completed when the second half is 78% finished.

The other thing I see is that despite the many approvals, there is still a long way to go before the second half of July is complete.

Thanks guys! Given how VSC has open petitions stretched from April to July, I am thinking I might be approved today, the end of January or anywhere in between.

I know; the uncertainty is the killer, isn't it

and what you said above was pretty much - like, close to word for word - what I've been telling people who've asked about our progress

I'm sorry to be a pest but do you think you could split this to show whats left at each of the service centers? Thanks again for all of your hard work on these reports!

The figures here are only for VSC. I did not do CSC. Maybe if I get some time later I will do CSC also.

Thanks Bill for all the info! As the July approvals started pouring in, I thought we might just be approved but looking at all the data who knows when!

Bill, How'd you get all this information?

VJ timeline searches. It is simple to do as long as you remember that VJ excludes the opening and closing dates in the search.

here's another approval announcement which I saw in another thread!

Petition sent to VSC 07/26 NOA2 12/06!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
