APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[Tarantula 0]

Oh yea, we're a lot like the people of Belgium up here! You'll fit right in!

Sorry, had to write people of Belgium because I'm having a senior moment and can't for the life of me recall what the people of Belgium are called.Then suddenly I remembered a waffle I once ate! Oh yeah! When you come over can you bring waffles?

Suuuuure I'll bring the waffles ... they're Brussels Waffles actually. Just like French Fries, they're actually Belgian Fries ... Brussels Sprouts is correct though, so is Belgian Endives.

You were almost there when you had your senior moment. We, people of Belgium are called like the waffles ... Belgians Greg calls me a Spicy Waffle though ... but that's a whole different story

Good to see people updating their timelines ... so people like Joe and myself don't have to go through the list over and over to see when members had their last login ... Keep em rollin' VSC. We're waiting!

Again ... congrats to all new approved members!!

I just got off the phone with the Frankfurt Embassy our interview appointment is 2008-08-26 at 7.30.

First Embassy and then they send me from there to the Medical.....

Iam all nervous but happy....

For thoose who are still waiting I hope yall get approved real soon.

I called VSC today and chanted:

You must

You must

You must approve Kim & Russ

Over and over until they hung up on me! It won't be long now!

Did I mention I was a cheerleading coach for MANY years??? That cracked me up! Let's hope they listen to you!!!

So my RFE was delivered to VSC today DHL - no touch though or anything.

Why do you guys think that is? Maybe tomorrow I'll get a touch or something? I sure hope so. I'm a nervous wreck.

I just want to know that they received it and it didn't get stuck in somebody's pile of junk, and that it actually makes it to my adjudicator's desk. If I called, do you think they'd tell me?

As long as you know it's there I wouldn't worry too much about a touch. Wont be long now girl!

Hey its ok, I got approved today, so im very happy

Congratulations Jer!!!

Glad you're on your way Gaura. Most of my paperwork is done and ready to go so i'm just really looking forward to getting on with it already!

S&D.. thanks for the kind words. I have no animosity toward folks that filed after us who have been approved. I'm happy for all. I just feel bad that we've waited so many years already... then having to wait for that stupid decree and even more years... it just seems so unfair.. but... it is what it is and me stressing about it even more isn't going to do any good. I already know what it's like to live with this man and I just want our life back... that is what's keeping me going! I know it's coming! I just hope it's very soon!!!!

Steph... woohoo congratulations!! Not too long for you now!

Well I got up early today so I came into the office rather than sit at home to work. I've got a busy day ahead of me that should help keep my mind off of things a little bit anyway. Don't you worry though, I will be refreshing the uscis site all day long and will be sure to let you know if something good happens! Have a great day April... best of luck to all!

I got mine too on 08/08/08. I would love to have your opinions and help in preparing further steps and preparation required after the NOA2 has been approved....What should be the next step after this? So we can avoid any unnecessary delays..

Regards,

Amrit & Rob

Big time congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could help you more with the process after NOA2, but with my approval being overturned, I never really looked into it.

I did order the tax transcripts for the spousal support form. They are nice little summaries that stand in the place of the original tax returns. I just called some cheezy 1-800-1040 tax line and the process was automated and I had them within 5 business days.

Best of Luck,

Brian

Just to vent, this STINKS.

I am back to checking the USCIS visa updates for touches on a daily basis. I just wish that I had been RFE'd back on July 3rd instead of getting an approval. Having that NOA2 is sweet.

It was so nice just realxing until the next packet arrived with not a care in the world.

I know I created the situation but VSC did not help by waiting almost a month to overturn my approval and now another two weeks since my RFE was returned.

Okay, I feel better now.

Of course, I am respectful of the fact that many people are still waiting for their first NOA2 and wish the best for everyone.

Hey everyone!

Took Gareth to the airport yesterday and his flight has landed in England this morning. Haven't heard form him yet but I will soon.

It was sad and I cried but not as much as last time because he's going back to finish this process up and get back here for good. Can't wait for that!

I'm about to call the NVC to see if our case got there and see about when Packet three will arrive.

Congrats on the approvals!

Yes! Don't come up here or we'll send you home full of implants and alien babies! B)

I live in Saratoga so I have more than enough "foreigners" invading my space right now! Can't even find a place to sit in MY Starbucks!

All these worlds are yours except Upstate NY

Attempt no landing there

Use them together

Use them in peace....

I'm just chock full of questions today aren't I?

Hi,

Expect to see your status change to "Evidence received, processing resumed" by tomorrow. You will probably get several touches after that. And you should get your NOA2 in about 7-9 days. This is what happened to me and another VJ member.

Good luck!

Thanks!!

Thanks Tom! I still haven't seen any update with my case - it's just about lunchtime, so let's hope something happens by the end of today or I'll really be nervous. I was wondering if I should call them & ask if they got it? It's a legitimate concern seeing as DHL screwed up my next day delivery and it didn't arrive when it was supposed to, I may as well tell them I'm just checking to make sure that it arrived WHERE it was supposed to. LOL

I don't know what I want to do, ugh. I'm freaking out.

The link should have the London embassy's phone number.

I think to get the DHL tracking number for your package, you'd call the NVC (I found out the hard way that you can't do the automated system, you have to speak to an actual person (and be sure to be ready with your number & such)) and ask for it. I think.

Hi Stephanie- I wouldnt bother calling the embassy its major expensive!!

Call NVC on 603-334-0700 - ask them what date they sent your package

Then go to do the DHL website and search for post sent on this date with the reference code (you will find a post about this code and how to search for your date if you search VJ for 'how to track by DHL' and follow the instructions)- I figured it out quickly- and found all the packs that were sent out on the date the NVC said they sent mine- you will see a list of all the countries and mine got there in 4 days, delievered to London and signed for (all on the DHL site) it took DHL four days to send to every embassy all over the day- it seems to be a standard time- so just find out from NVC when they sent it and add 4 days to the date!

London got my packet three to me v quickly after that!

Tomorrow I am off to the Ukraine. It has been 4 1/2 months since I have seen Alyona. 36 hours and I again can give her a huge hug and kiss.

Good luck to all remaining April filers, I wish you a speedy remainder of your process.

I want you all to have your NOA2's before my return on Aug 26.

Hey guys...

Still no touch yet or update and the package was delivered yesterday morning. I'm kinda nervous. I figured they would have inputted it into the system or something by now.

Otherwise, I'm hangin in there.
