YAY!!!! Hopefully the on-line case status will work for you. I didn't have anything until it was approved. Your file should go to the new service center in Kansas, I believe. Hopefully that will be quicker than your local office, but I know people have been getting told time-frames of anywhere between 6 - 12 months.... I really hope it's faster for you. When will you be visiting him again?

I hope it goes fast but I am prepared for a long wait. I don't have my plane ticket yet but I am planning to go to see him in January.

The online case status shows that we are in "initial review" whatever that means.

I also wanted to wish good luck to you. I know this is such an exciting time for you and I am praying for you guys to have a successful interview and have him home with you soon!

The case status for us always said something to the effect of "case not found." The day it was approved, however, I could access it. I don't know what's worse, seeing "not found" or "initial review" for the time spent at USCIS. LOL Initial review just means it is there. More than likely in a box waiting it's turn. Eventually, it will make it's way to a desk, upon which, it will still say "initial review."

January.... that will be good for you. I keep teetering about October. One moment, it seems like an eternity, and the next it seems so close. We will both be devastated if he gets AP or denied. It just seems too perfect that they scheduled it while I'm there. We were not expecting that timing. I knew it would be October, but I was thinking it would be earlier... Oh well. I just know that I will be sitting in the cafe by the consulate and just going out of my mind!

Thank you for your prayers and wishing us luck. Most days I'm pretty confident, but there are those days where I worry. We will be ok, and so will you and your husband. Make sure you study on the next sets of paperwork for the NVC. A few people lately only submitted 1 of the 2 police/court records, and you saw I had the newer birth document. So make sure he is clear on which ones he needs to send you at that time. Remember, they are only "good" for 3 months. I'm having my husband get all new ones to bring to the interview.

October is close Happytobe - and I know you are nervous about the interview. But just try to think about the fact that you will be seeing your husband and that you will actually be there for the interview. Whatever happens that day you two will be together. Just try to be positive and be happy that this exciting time has finally arrived.

When it gets my turn I will be going crazy too LOL. I am already worrying about obsessing about all the little things they might nitpick us about. I have heard about them giving people problems because they did not have a wedding ceremony which we did not - because we did not want one. I'm nine years older than my husband and apparently that causes some issues too. But we have spent a total of five months together in Morocco on two separate trips and by the time he interviews we will have spent more time together so I hope that helps. I am a worrier though - I will worry until he is here in Florida with me.

Again good luck. I will be thinking of you on interview day and I will be checking to see what your post. I pray it is good news. I hope he can fly back with you. That would be so wonderful for you.

You are so wise, Abbi. I would much rather be there with him to discover the news. I had partially been hoping that I could sleep through the time at the interview, so he could wake me up with a call.... LOL But you are right, it's going to be nice to be there - especially if it's not good news. I do worry that the app that I did for my ex-fiance 5 years ago is going to affect us negatively... But I can't worry about that too much. You and I both worry needlessly, I think. Many of us do. It makes me very grateful for VJ.

You are going to be fine Happytobe. Yes you might get AP. I hope not but it is a real possibility. If you do just remember that is NOT a denial - it is just so they can do name checks. I hope you don't get AP but just be prepared. I have a good feeling you will be approved. I know this is Casa and we have to be prepared for anything but just stay positive (easier said than done I know). You and your husband have a lot of proof of your relationship. You will be with him on the day of the interview. That is good too. And whatever happens you will be there together.

You and I have to stop worrying so much (smiling). Again - easier said than done!

I can't wait for January to get here. I need to hug my husband!
