VSC better start to crank out more approvals to make my SO happy by the holidays... :wacko: This is starting to drive HIM nuts for the FIRST time since we started...there were three of us with an noa1 date of 6/19...two of those were approved...One (thats us) hasn't heard yet...So now he is worried something is wrong..that we will be denied or have to wait longer for RFE. Pray for him that God gives him strength.

Same here....Oscar had prepared his life to be here with me for the holidays and now that will not happen.....We have people getting NOA2 now a couple of weeks after ours and we here nothing.....Oscar keeps asking me about ...WHY???? and I keep saying....I DO NOT KNOW........vsc is inept....vsc is lazy....vsc is managed badly....vsc just does not care....You choose.......this is very frustrating...Lora

It is frustrating..I keep telling him its all in God's timing..but i know this knowledge doesn't always make one feel any better. We have a huge wait on the other end to. 4-5 months AFTER interview is the Cairo Embassy average to wait...some have waited a year AFTER the interview for AP to end. Its horrific what they put these people through. Amr is just worried we will end up with RFE..but I had past names used...past marriages to verify...and one with an immigrant here on J1 when we married...so I'm sure they will take a hard llook at our petition. Plus with our age gap..him from a "high risk" country. Im not worried...just suspect we will have a bit more of a wait...he just sees others getting from our time area...and wants to be here so much to. Actually, its the FIRST time he's been this way...up till now its been ME.

I think Oscar and Amir(?) should talk....our stories have alot in common besides you and I being neighbors....Oscar has been telling me for months to have patiences but this Irish American girl from New Jersey has none......Now yesterday he was the one going on and on about the length of time this is taking......and I am the one saying we are so close have patiences......but to be honest I am just about at an end.....that is why I keep trying to come up with things to try......call people...email people.....talk to everyone but nothing is working......and we all are at USCIS's mercy and God's grace......Lora
