May 2012 Filers

[BrockUK 26]

yep - I'm good at daydreaming about the future.

Yes I've seen them, I was going to ask if it was a time machine.. but I didn't want to make wild assumptions!!

HAHA! I knew you woulda known! Everyone knows about the delorean!!

Why not make that daydream into a reality? (Yes I used to be a salesman many years ago!) Right now I am going through with my fiancee the wedding plans (dress, rings, dudget, venue, flights, flowers, catering etc...) and i tell you that is making the time fly by!

With all the bad news right now about her health problems looking and planning for our future is the only good thing we have going. Randomly saying this but OMG i saw a user on here that got her NOA2 in 16 days!!!!!!! She sent her petition off something like November 11th 2011 and got it on the 27th!

Wish we could be that lucky lol!

The Delorean is the model of car they used in the films for the time machine. It's a very nice piece of work, even if it has certain '#######' bits in the design.

I didn't know it was called a delorean though.

we are talking about that, but both of us are not too keen on something big and fancy, we are deciding between Las Vegas (I have this thing for a wedding officiated by a fake Elvis) or Hawaii - but that was also my fiance's first wedding. It will be winter and kinder to my friends/family to come to Hawaii. I'm contemplating Vegas for us, then tell people to come to Hawaii for a celebration.

Being in NZ is helping the time pass, if I get secured in an assignment here and have to pack up my apartment in Sydney, it will also help. anyway..

I imagine the quick approval was an expedite. I doubt it will happen, but the trends I've looked at from last year is that May filers get approved alot quicker, it all depends on how fast they work on the approvals before us. estimating the 5 months will keep you sane though. don't hope for earlier, if it happens, consider it a blessing. prepare the info for Packet 3, have that plan in place. I wrote that out last night.

ahhh so its the model of the car.. no wonder, loved the movies, never got into that much detail.

Sweet!! that would have been awesome to see it!!!

OMG can I please come to your wedding that sounds awesome!!!!!

I would love to do something like that, but my fiancee and I are looking for a venue in her state of Tennessee (due to her disability). It's rather challeneging to find something that will cater for her and my family.

But in my mind I'm like "You know what, its our day so we will do what we want! Maybe even do a pirate vs. ninja theme wedding!" LOL coming from a family of lawyers and doctors I don't think that will do down too well!

Erm...don't mean to be stupid but what is Packet 3? Is that before or after NOA2? Who recieves it?

Oh and I know you live in NZ (land of the sheep, no offense!) but do you have any ties to Australia? If so I NEIGHBOURS!!!!!

.............You just made me have an orgasm with that photo!

[BrockUK 26]

*coughs*

I think we have your record well beaten.

I mailed it on May 7th, got the email notice 9 days later on the 16th, and the hardcopy didn't show up until 20 days after that on June 4th.

I am guessing this is how you reacted, I know I did!

Hey guys

Since we're all in the same boat in terms of waiting times, thought I'd come here and just write about how down I'm feeling

I'm back in the UK now after spending the last 9-10 months with my fiance. He came back with me for 2 weeks and had to return on Monday. It's only been 2 and a half days but I just cannot cope at all I have a few things to keep me busy as I know that's the most important thing, but the time difference is horrible. It's making something that is already hard even harder. I can't eat properly, I'm getting only a little sleep, there are tears in my eyes all the time. Does it get any easier??

I wish October would get here sooner, I can't bear missing him this badly

haha.. well I wanted a midget Elvis but fiance said 'no' seriously there is a midget Elvis in Vegas, but I don't know if he does weddings. I just want to have a fun day for us. I have never been a big wedding kind of girl, and hes not keen on one either.

a simple, but nice wedding in Tennessee will be lovely, a theme wedding will be fun. thats my kind of thing for sure.. having a laugh, I don't want pretty and traditional. but we are not planning on having family really. maybe my cousin and shes allll for the theme wedding. haha

packet 3 is the first lot of documentation after your NOA2 from your foreign consulate.

well just to confuse you.. I'm from New Zealand, but I live in Australia. however... I'm currently working in New Zealand. seriously. its confusing right!

haha you Brits.. you all love Neighbours!! thats filmed in Melbourne, Home and Away is Sydney, where I live.

Lucy, we are all in the same situation, at least you both can go and see each other in either country. Many of us do not have that option. You will have to rely on Skype, and expensive phone bills to see you through. It will be OK, you can make it.

VJ just pushed me out two additional days on my expected NOA2 dates. This is after being pushed out a few days last week. uuggghh

Oh, I know, you're right, it's the same for us all with this waiting and anguish. I don't think I can visit again anytime soon though because I already spent so long over there in so little time that I'd look suspicious at border control - I was almost denied entry back in April so I'm even more wary now :/

We're May filers to....here's hoping for the best!

Welcome!

[sk8rpatty 17]

I fly back to Canada with my fiance tonight. He was allowed to come back to the US with me two weeks ago due to my Father's passing. It was great having him here, even if it was short time. I'll return to the US on Monday and then we wont see each other for awhile

I'm thankful for every moment I was able to spend with him. Next week we'll be back to the waiting game....
