Gratz to the approvees :)

Am beginning to despair but know there is nothing to do but wait... Just wish I could do something - even if it didn't speed up the process at least I would feel like I was getting somewhere...

I just checked the mail and nothing... :( This wateing is horrible...... Why does our country take so long with this. . I think goverment officals really don't care about anyone but themselvs.. This is so frustrating. I had too much faith that I would get it in the mail like others did. It's just not fair that my future is on hold due to "red tape". I just want to cry..

exactly how I feel! USCIS seem to be the kind of company where you need to fill in a form requesting a form to fill in a form requesting what you actually need. I can imagine their office being full of managers delegating tasks to not many workers whilst hold meetings requiring coffee and cream cakes in which they spout out buzzwords to make themselves feel important.

sorry...needed a rant

Tim and Ramzis.....I hope you get your approvals soon......gets you out my way for a start (no offence meant!) :)

Jamie, it wasn't advice, it was an opinion; very different things

and I didn't say the calling was 'rich', I said their reactions are to be expected if we try something on false pretences and then get called out on it

I don't mind being disagreed with, but I'd rather it be about things I actually said ;)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Well, when you guys get your approvals today (how's that for trying to be positive?), there are still plenty of seats in this waiting room (the one where we wait for CSC to send our NOA2's to NVC) and we can all celebrate the fact that at least the NOA2's are here. At least it hasn't been a 5 month wait (just 2-6 weeks) here like it was for the NOA2! Hopefully they start sending those out to NVC soon...please!! Edited by u2rsobad

What I think is a shame is our goverment doesn't give us any dorect way to check status. And by doing the ref trick I would say one out of ten times there is more info given then the other options in the menue. I don't feel bad in any way doing that..... We are paing for this process and as a customer I feel it is my right to know status. If going through there menue could get me to someone that was actually there I would go through it in the corect manner..

Just a thought

I understand what that is like - I spend all day calling car dealers to see if they have our cars on site to collect - most of the time if I don't know which option to press, I tend to opt for the "hold to speak to an operator" one just because I know that the person I speak to has a better chance of figuring out what is going on at their end or at least who I need to speak to :)

I'd opt for a human being every time :)

Wow I was looking at the approvals for this week.. VSC has only had one approval this week. I am pritty sure there isn't a fire there to explain only one approval. God bless America

Roger that! Their service is pathetic!! They are too busy approving all those employment visas (taking care of big business) and refugee processing, and receipting, and trying to get their ####### together after their brilliant management decision to close the TSC and NSC to K1/K3 petitioners. What a bunch of BS.
