hello all!

help i don´t know what to do... i tried to enter various times into my account thinking my password was one thing....when it was another (i had forgotten) .... now my account is "blocked" ...and i cannot rediscover my password because my "secret question" isn´t working. so i don´t know if we´ve been "touched"! it´s killing me. any advice?

also, i´m curious how does this work, i know someone who applied after me and already got approved. maybe because it was California....but other than that, how could this be?

thanks!

that´s depressing...

Congrats to everyone who´s been approved! hopefully we´ll all be soon...i like to hear those optimists who say in April!!!!

They tend to sit in a box from the time they get it until they get to that box... then, it takes as little as 15 minutes to review & approve you. It's very easy to get upset over the people who submitted later but get approved sooner, or over how little time it actually takes them to review your paperwork compared to how many months you wait..... but getting upset doesn't move you closer to the goal.

Whenever I'm starting to get frustrated, I work on the next set of paperwork. I've gathered all my stuff for the I-134, so now (well, going visit him tomorrow! but when I get back) I'll start on the EAD & AOS.... the more I do now while waiting, the less I'll have to do when he's actually here with me.

Awesome!

VSC had 8 approvals yesterday. The downside is none of them were mine. haha ;)

I hope they keep up this pace and don't just stop like they did on Tuesday.

Holy #######. I just got approved today!!! :dance: I checked my email first but nothing from CRIS but went to their website and saw that I was approved. What sux is that I've already booked a trip to go see her. April is when I'll be leaving but now this. I should be happy and I am but now I don't know what to do. I had a feeling that I might be approved before my trip but couldn't be certain that I would. I'm thinking maybe I should just take this trip and when she's approved for her visa, take another trip to go get her.

i think this is whats going to happen to me and angela - im leaving next week to go spend a week in paradise with her - were going to tagaytay, palawan - to el nido and puerto princesa so i figure this close - quickest way to a approval is be there lols. im bringing everything with me she will need for the interview - every form as been printed or reprinted - now all thats left is hurry up and wait - i know it want be long. but hey - at least you still get to see your sweet heart - and have you checked ticket prices lately - there cheap again :D
