Please don't shoot the messenger...but get this. I just looked at the CSC list of current processing dates. After being stuck at March 6th for an eternity, they've finally changed the I-129F entry. It now says February 23rd. Apparently the CSC's odometer is going backwards. UGH! I'm just glad God is bigger than USCIS. I'm praying for all of us CSC filers--past and present--to be out of the black hole much faster than imaginable.

And here's to more weekend approvals...

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.

I assume that's meant to protect them (CYA) since they don't have to respond to you if your NOA1 date is not 30 days past their posted processing dates. Nice work, huh?

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

Time to get out the guns. I am thinking grenade launcher!!! :lol:

Just kidding, of course.

This really sucks, our case, although approved, is rotting in CSC. NVC is talking 4 weeks now! :wacko:

What a cluster ** over there!!!

At this stage, approval is bittersweet, in that you are over the hump, but with your case still hanging around there.

Argggggg. I need a drink!!!

To add insult to injury, my Laptop computer crashed tonight and had to reformat the hard drive. I lost some significant data. On the good side, the computer has never performed so well. So it's all good.

Cheers guys!!!
