WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Sophia, it was really freaking me out that they "touched" you on 10/16 but weren't approving you. BUT GREAT..... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In email, I actually received TWO CRIS messages. So I think their email system is messed up. Some people get none.. some people get two... go VSC organization! :blink:

OK, Mirla..... you must give them a call ASAP!!! After your approval, I will be able to rest at night when justice has been served. :dance:

I called and they said it should be about a month more. The rep was sympathetic though and even said he don't know why he can't offer premium processing to me as he said he does all the time for employment based petitions. This whole concept drives me mad.

Then I just gave some congrats to someone with CSC who didn't even file until June 8th, and the petition even had to be tranferred from NSC to CSC and still got approved already. Happy for them and sad for us who have waited so long.

Congrats Soch. You sure waited long enough.

WEIRD... I just got home and found the NOA2 in my mailbox too and it says Notice Date of Nov. 15 and is actually postmarked Oct. 17 (the day before I called).

My suspicion has been confirmed... Soch's and my petition were in the same pile laying somewhere in the back. ;)

I anxiously wait to know if perhaps Pat will be getting one for Mirla today....... :thumbs:

I spoke to my Schnitzel (thats what I call him) and he is as excited as I am. He can not sleep although he is on a business trip and must wake up early... we have a 6 hour difference. So excited... sipping red wine :)

:thumbs::dance: Congratulatons to all VSC Approvals!!! I wish you all well and God's Blessing.

One of my favorite singers is Reba McEntire and her song: Forever Love is BEAUTIFUL.

To all of us who's waiting for our love one to join us:

Forever Love by Reba

The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew.

We'd spend this life side by side.

I still feel the same though you're so far away.

I swear that you'll always be my...

Forever love. I promise you.

Someday well be together.

Forever love. I wont give up. no matter what.

Ill be waiting for you. forever love.

Minutes and hours and years may go by.

But my heart knows nothing of time.

So don't cry, just keep me right there.

In your dreams. and hold on to these words of mine.

Forever love. I promise you.

Someday well be together.

Forever love. I wont give up. no matter what.

Ill be waiting for you. forever love.

Love is the road to our destiny.

Nothing can change what is meant to be.
