Hi Y'all. I am new to this wonderful website. Like many of you, I am a mid June filer with :blink: no touches of note (one touch early on at the end of June). I share your sentiments about how messed up the system is and I feel the roller coaster taking me lower and lower every day. Sara, my fiance', is stressing about this heavily and this forced separation is weighing on us greatly. Our relationship is wonderful and we will weather this storm but this is one we should never have to endure.

There are a few things I'd like to share -

-My lawyer's paralegal finally broke down after much prodding early this week and called the VSC (oh yes, "Service" is our middle name!!!!). She was told that they were currently processing applications dated May 19th and that they are averaging one day's filings per day. My response to the paralegal was that the VsC person was being "less than genuine" with her due to the fact that petitions are being handled totally out of order. Her response: :wacko:

-My congresswoman sent in a letter on my behalf early in November (3 weeks after her staffer promised me that she would). Yesterday, I asked her staffer to inquire again as nothing at all had happened. She said that they now must wait until the end of December to call due to "Congressional protocals". That sounds bogus to me.

-On Wednesday, I wrote both Senators and I have not yet heard anything from them. They will certainly be getting calls on Monday a.m.

As my peition is rapidly approaching the 180 day mark, I am wondering what effect if any will my calling the VsC on the 180th day? Do any of you have experience with this? If so, will it do me any good or will I just get told to call back in 30 days?

Last, I just want to say that I am very impressed with the great support that all of you have provided to eachother. Just reading posts the last few days has been inspiring.

Unless someone posts something in the next 9 minutes, we have a total of 85 approvals for the month of November.

Course, we could also get some additions later of people who find out later/ update their info later / etc.

But hey, 85! :dance: And I think at the outset of the month when this started we thought we'd be extremely lucky just to hit 60!

I wonder how far back we'd have to go to find a month that saw more approvals out of VSC?? In any case, this is really great!

OK OK OK....I CHECKED THE USCIS WEB SITE....and............

NO, nothing yet...Im NOT approved yet...........

BUT................

Ive adjusted to the idea of waiting...........FINALLY. Thank you God. Im at peace with it. STILL going to do something about it IF I can...IF for no other reason to feel better, and maybe make it easier in the future for others AND our AOS. But...I"ve adjusted...mostly due to you people here. You are so kind, caring and truly understand. Who else can understand better than you all who are traveling this road together with me. We share the same feelings, emotions, fears, joys and heartache. Everytime one of you posts for Mel and Syl or Mirla or anyone else...I can FEEL your empathy...that you truly KNOW how they may feel. THAT inspires me...you guys are my heros...every last one of you. I am truly happy for those of you approved....and...so thankful u have stayed to encourage, cheer us on and share your progress. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. Its still hard to see others that filed 2-3 months after me get approved...but I can now count it ALL joy to have this issue. Cause the working of my faith will create patience in my life. So that I may be mature and not lacking. Thank you to all of you...thank you God for the peace only YOU can bring into our lives....

God bless you all....
