That's great news! I'm really starting to get both excited and worried at the same time.. no VSC filers had anything yet? I really hope they pick up the pace! I could use some good news myself, haha.

Before Journey:

Met online in 2002 as friends. Fell in love in 2005. Got engaged in 2010.

K-1 Journey, January 2010-July 2010:

NOA1: January 29. RFE: April 21. NOA2: June 4. Interview: July 15. Visa in hand: July 20. POE: July 22.

July 24, 2010: Married in front of 150 of our loved ones on a beautiful, sunny day. Living happily ever after and oh so thankful that 5 years of a long distance relationship and 7 months of a visa process is condensed into one line.

Wedding pictures! Because I'm shameless. http://s956.photobucket.com/albums/ae47/AmeriDaneWedding/

Adjustment of Status Journey, January 2011-March 2011:

January 25: NOA1 for AOS and EAD. Feb 5: Bio appointment received. Feb 7: RFE. Feb 11: Sent RFE response. Feb 23: AOS transfered to CSC. Feb 25: Biometrics. March 11: EAD approved! March 19: Received EAD. March 21: AOS approved! March 25: GC in hand!

And we'll live happily ever after.. for the next 2 years, anyway.

Yeah, I feel both excited and worried as well. I have been reading the Oct/Nov/Dec filers and while most have their good news stories, there's still a few laggers that for no reason, other than government incompetence, are stuck in the long waiting process while filers months ahead are getting approved. I know me and my beautiful baby are staying upbeat and positive, but I also know that it could be a long journey ahead. We are bracing for a long wait and praying for a short one. :blush:

And my god! What is happening to VSC? When I filed in Jan, you guys were almost 10 days ahead of CSC, now it's fallen to about 16 days behind CSC. :wacko:

I guess there's nothing we can really do for now but wait. It would probably help if I could see my fiancee, but at this rate I probably won't see him until May or June, blah.

I'm gonna guess that the blizzards we've had in the northeast haven't helped the process much. For a few days (at least in NJ) businesses were closed simply because they couldn't get enough employees in thanks to the snow. I'm not sure how bad it is in Vermont, but I know they get hit pretty hard too. February had 3 or 4 major snow storms, let's hope March is a bit more forgiving and that March brings plenty of approvals for both CSC and VSC!

Yeah, I have google earth on my system, I was just being lazy and bored. :whistle:

I hear ya! It's only been a little over a month for us and we're going crazy! Especially with some of these early approvals..

I'm in San Diego, California...just moved here from Alaska about 6 months ago. Was there through 17 winters! Now I live where there really isn't a winter :dance:

Good luck on this journey!!
