Hi Everyone,

Wow, I'm surprised that this older VJ message thread has been brought up again, as for a moment there, I thought it was lost somewhere in the VJ archives....Oh well....

:star: Thanks again, to all who voted and posted in this poll/message thead, as this is helpful and entertaining to me and everyone else on VJ too. :star: And to those of you who still haven't voted and posted, there's still time to do such before the results announced of whichever happens first, that is!

And no, you don't have to be a US Citizen to vote in here either!.... :thumbs:

Lol...I agree, in the grand scheme of things, the Baby is definitely more predictable than the USCIS. And to tell you the truth, I'm still not too optismistic about the VSC getting much done any more efficiently and quickly either, as time and time again they have been this way for such a long time. Heck, with all the time that one spends waiting for the USCIS, they can be doing other things (like...umm...waiting for a Baby...) that are more important instead!

On the bright side, the I-751 VSC cases are being transferred to the CSC...so who knows...that can change things around too...in terms of "which will happen first for AntandD?"....

Ahh..the story continues...."Which will arrive for AntandD first: 10yr Green Card or Baby?"...

Until then, good luck Everyone, on the rest of your immigration journeys too!

Ant (Still waiting at the VSC, Still waiting for Baby...)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for voting and thanks for all your positive feedback too. I'm impressed to see that so many VJers are interested in this topic, just as much as I am.... :thumbs:

To those of you who haven't voted/left feedback yet, there's still time to do such before it's too late.

And yes, I'll definitely post the results of this "I-751 first of Baby first" poll/election here in this message thread, as soon as I have one and/or both of the following happen....

By the way, just to let you know, that my I-751 case was transferred on March 2nd from the VSC to the CSC (see here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=183204), so this could be an interesting 'twist' when it comes to the "result" of this poll/election....

Still, waiting for such a long time for both the I-751 to be approved and the Baby to be born does make it quite nerve-racking, both emotionally and physically, indeed!....:clock:

Good luck too, with the rest of your immigration journeys too! Stay tuned for the results soon!

Ant (Still waiting and wondering "which will be first?"....)
