[killing distance 5]

hi all Vermont K1 fillers. you can see that i have a lot of time and distance. so im killing it!!

this is what i did. i installed google earth on my pc. now its version 6 beta. they have added some new futures but one of this it is particularly interesting to us who have eyes and ears to Vermont. so if you open google earth and search for "USCIS Vermont" it will show you the building where those escargots and turtles are working on our K1's.(no offense to animals).now if you click the clock icon on the top bar "show historical imagery" you can see the same building and the parking lot in different times. 6 shots are available starting from 99, 03, 04, 08, 09 and 2010. my favorite one its 2004. very clear shot and you can count the cars on the parking lot. :) nearly 140 cars are parked that day. it must be around 9-11 o'clock in the morning judging from the shadow on trees. so its a full working day for our loveley USCIS adjudicator officers. now... not all the cars there belong to "people who make couples happy" but let say in 140 cars must be 50 of them who works on files. from this 50 lets say 10 who only works on K1...hmmm ok... 15 who works on K1... happy now!! WHERE IS MY NOA2???

i must say here that the the number of cars parked there its +/- the same throughout years. the most desolating image from this building comes from January 1 2010. its a day off, and has been snowing. so i think now to all that snow that fell this winter (( and the days off...

i have a question for you: can escargots drive cars? ))

to all K1 Vermont out there. hang on... we will make it. we just need to use a little bit more sense of humor to end our endless days )

Thanks, I needed the humor. Waiting for Vermont also and feeling down about the length, so your post was welcome laugh.

And we wait...

Why cat you guys be patient, otherwise you putting your case in jeopardy. Just be patient and everything will be fine.

That's easy for you to say. You got your NOA1 on 4/26/10 and got the NOA2 on 8/4/2010.....a total wait time of around 3 1/2 months. Most people on VJ nowadays will have to wait 5+ months to get an NOA2. Everybody has their own way of dealing with the frustration of waiting. Just let them deal with it in their own way. It's all good

That's a great post. This is an awful wait. Laughing makes it much easier. Thanks.

Um, no, not really.

There is a reason Congress has such links on their site. As a U.S. citizen, I intend to use ALL avenues open to me when they become open.

This was so cute, It's things like this that allows me to keep smiling and hoping. Thanks a bunch, I'm going to google earth right now to if anyone is working on my petition

Correction: Most people wait over 5 months for an RFE. This guy got RFE'd after 6 weeks.

Contacting your congressman/senators will never put your case in jeopardy.

Good for u . You have been approved . You are not in this situation now

Very mathimatical .. you must be an engineer or GIS satellite.. Or just a normal K-1 Vermonter who learned through pressure and patience.. lol

I agree... no amount of persistence can hurt and at minimum it will help give you something more to do to pass the time... I personally am trying to make sure I have everything ready for the next phase of the process to avoid the possibility of any additional delays.

Thank you for that tidbit re: google earth... now if only they had realtime updates I might actually have one more thing to obsess about daily other than checking my case status on the USCIS website or looking on here for some hope that perhaps someone around my filing date (sept 22nd 2010) actually starts getting approved etc...

On a good note... I put in a call today as the two weeks had passed from the last call as advised and got through to a Tier 2 officer who was nice enough to tell me that the new date of cases they are working on has been updated to: SEPT 11th. Which means cases on or around Sept 11th are now being worked on - (remember they update their system with a new date every 14th of the month). She was kind enough to tell me that I can call again in 11 days (random number) if I haven't heard anything at which point they will file a service request which as some of you already know means more waiting and possibly more requests... but I will stay hopeful and say that we are all doing this for the noblest of reasons... how is it that we prize ourselves on diversity and yet our country doesn't yet believe that we should be free to LOVE and marry whomever we chose and live with them here with rights the way we can almost anywhere else in the world.

i'm starting a movement (one I'm sure that's been done before but hey its never too late to join the bandwagon): "V-Free LoVe" who's with me?

On a side note, for those of us on here in love with a Brazilian, I read an amusing article the other day in one of the two major Brazilian publications here about how our governments are in talks to eliminate the visa requirements altogether. Let's hope that this does in fact happen and that perhaps people after us may not have to go through the same torturous process just to get married in our hometowns!
