Let's keep in touch and encourage each other. Jing

Still waiting patiently!

Though I am seeing a bunch of approvals for VSC and August filers.

We are with the same timeline. So we may get our NOA2's at the same time.

Hey guys!

ME TOO!!! I have the same time line.


Much luck to all of us.
- Vanessa.

(ps. can't wait for them to finish working on those late July cases and start with the August ones!!!)

I'm a July/August filer. Can I join both threads? Will you allow it?

Approve me NOW!

i don't know which topic i belong in!
can i join, too? i just want a little approval, just a sweet, little, no-nonsense, uncomplicated, little approval.


may God give me patience,
hz

Welcome! I look at it this way, the date doesnt really matter that much we are all in this together anyway. good luck!

Oh dear God! This waiting hurts

Yes, this is a open forum and everyone is welcome. Good luck.

I say: hang out here, and in the July filers thread; that way you double your chances of someone to talk to

and if you're at CSC, we have a sweepstakes; please have a punt if you're so inclined
(actually, you can have a punt whichever centre you filed at, but I figure you're probably more interested if you're a CSCer )

Hi everyone we are still here, no approval, no touches. "We" are litterly addicted to checking the USCIS site daily, which is not good i know. "A watched pot never boils".

By the way, can someone instruct me how to put my time line on the bottom of my emails and posting and responses?

I know what you mean... ive had ups and downs checking USCIS website or not as well.


About the time line: look on the right top corner of the page and go to "My Controls" and then to the left you click on "Edit Signature"

Ok thanks for the info. I think I got it.

"A watched pot never boils."
I completely agree... I'm trying not to look at USCIS anymore because it always says the same thing. I just want to know... i just want to know... i just want to know...

Do you think that stress can kill brain cells? I've been loopy lately.

But at least it looks as if VSC is moving. That's good!

Watching the pot anyway,
hz

if my recent experience is anything to go by -

YES

Yes I can't stop myself from checking multiple times a day either....I just keep imagining I will see somthing change and hope that it happens. VSC does seem to be moving though ur right...keep it up VSC!!

Dear God...
We've been touched!
Now I'm even more nervous!

Yay HZ! Im so excited for you! wow!

I'm praying that your approval come soon, very soon! please let me know when u get it!


Cheers and much luck!

It's been 110 days and nothing - not even a touch. Congrats on those who got touched! I find hope in the fact that they started approving August filers - I saw at least 2 approvals so far so I'm going to be patient and wait. I'm hoping to be approved by the end of this month or in Jan sometime. After then, I will start freakin out. And I agree with you guys completely - this process is like watching water boil!! Too bad we can't bribe them into working faster. Kinda like you give a dog treats for doing tricks - we should be able to give VSC doggie treats (a bone) hehe - for each approval they put out - LOL!

Here are the August Stats - I don't know how to put the info in the post itself so I uploaded the file.............

Thanks for the statistics Munesh and Suzie!!!! It's very nice.

And don't feel so discouraged I know this might sound as a cliche... but i know that they have received tons of applications before ours (August ones) so I bet they have a whole lot of work from these before fee increase filers.

We might hear something in another month.

Stay positive and thanks again!

We got the NOA1 in late August but have never been "touched". Does that mean that we are still months and months and months away?

I don't think we're months and months away - I think when we hit the six month mark (which will be Feb) then we need to start calling them. They already had a total of 33 approvals the month of December so at least we know they are working and they are making their way into August.....

We got our NOA2 yesterday I filed the last day before the rate hike to TSC and it was rerouted to VSC and took over a month to get the NOA1. Then on the 4th and 5th of Dec we got touches and then nothing. I received the NOA2 yesterday dated for the 4th and the letter from the NVC today dated for the 10th. Still no update on the USCIS website so hang in there!

Thanks!

We are giving it to December 31. If no reply, we are moving to Canada and will settle there.

Don't make such drastic changes just yet - give them time. They are still currently working on some June/July filers and making their way slowly to us August filers....patience is virtue and we have to have faith that the process works. It's working for so many others.....our turn just hasn't come yet........that's all..........

Wow great to hear! Soon the approval should arrive also.

my sisters husband is from Morocco btw

come on VSC!!! touch ours too!

That is very true.

yeah, hadyu; I'd caution against too much hastiness too (unless moving to Canada is what you WANT to do) - it could easily be later than the end of December, even if they keep working at the current pace

as for touches - they ARE over-rated, and while they're fun to get, they don't mean much... the only touch on my case was about eight hours before the approval, and it was sheer luck I saw it at all, as I logged in RIGHT before going to bed, and by the time I got up in the morning, we had the NOA2

Thanks V and Everybody!
Of course, you'll all be the first to know if there is ever any news...
Let's keep positive. I really believe they are working at VSC... maybe like turtles, but still working...
Hopefully we will all know something soon, inchallah.

C'mon VSC, give us some more approvals this week!

APPROVED!!!

i knew December would be the month for August filers! Keep um coming VSC!

Wow!!! Congratulations!!!
What a great message.

Alhamdulilah! Alhamdulilah.

But do tell: did you receive an e-mail? or you saw on the website?

CONGRATULATIONS!! !



HZ I'm praying it's your turn! I'm so excited that it's your approval coming!

Congratulations!!!!!!!




When did they receive your application?

Both, first I checked USCIS website and then saw it in my email. It showed one touch (update) on 12/14 also.

Still no touches, no approval. I am getting so frustrated. I hate this waiting game. In the meantime this stress is pulling my relationship apart. How does anyone manage to survive this waiting game?

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On December 17, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.




OMG We are so happy.

Congratulations.!!
Many blessings to you on the rest of your journey.

Sending another note to say: Hi to all August Filers.. and the entire VJ family.
I've been visiting this site so often, I feel like it's about time I said 'hello'.

Good wishes to those approved..
Much patience for those who are waiting, like myself.

WE WERE APPROVED TODAY AS WELL!!!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hello "P1 and P2".... I guess you're pretty close to get your approval too huh?!


CONGRATULATIONS Semi and El!!!!



Cheers,
Vanessa

Thank you Vanessa, its your turn next!!! I am praying for you. Keep us posted!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Congratulations Suzie!!!!!

It's so nice to see them working on August petitions.


Cheers,
Vanessa

OHHHH I pray that God hears you! I'm freaking out! haha

Hello "P1 and P2".... I guess you're pretty close to get your approval too huh?!

===


Hi Vanessa.!

That is my hope, yes... that I'm getting close. Not sure what I'll do w/ my time if I'm not looking at the computer/checking status.

It's been a lesson in patience.. Some days better than others.
How are you.?

Karen.

Thanks Vanessa! I'm praying you guys get approved soon!!!!!

Lets wish for some post christmas approvals!!!!!!
I know it's coming soon. PLEASE!!!!!
Hope that all of you waiting receive a NOA2 soon.


Hopefully the holidays don't slow things down too much.

Much love and blessings.

J

oh yeah how do i add my timeline to a post??

It sure is quiet..has anyone from late July or August received any touches or approvals in the last 10 days?
Just wandering if most people are off this week....and may not really start back to work till after the New Year...

In case anyone is wandering about my time line...ours is the weird case where we have two petitions...one is May and a duplicate that was sent in the end of July and they are telling us they are going to go by the duplicate (that THEY ask us to send because THEY said THEY had lost the first one...and then THEY found it in California and the duplicate was sent to Vermont...so long story with short review)

So anyway...we must now wait in hopes that they will get to ours soon...
