Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[DongDong 0]

Thank you, STP, for the list again

The Chinese website is running pretty much true to VJ. The ratio is about the same...There were eight VSC'ers, August /September NOA1 dates and two CSC'ers with July NOA1 dates, posting approvals this last week that we could see.

Congrats to "LB & DR" - they got NOA2 approved by CSC - so that's 13 this year so far!!!

Interesting to know that. On the Vietnamese language website, there seems to be an disproportional number of VSC filers, who are moving somewhat faster than CSC filers. This is causing a slight amount of tension lately, but we are working it out. I feel we are so lucky, we can understand each other very well (both linguistically and personally), and don't get into a full-blown argument over this, as other couples have had the misfortune of doing.

I can't give you such specific numbers, unfortunately. Hang in there, everybody! Like the song says, "Our day will come!"

Thanks for the new list STP - but sheesh <lol> at 5 CSC approvals for the week, and me sitting at number 195 - that would be like 39 bloomin' weeks from now for an NOA2... I really hope that they pick up the pace (back to the 20-30+) they were doing pre-Xmas, or maybe they have and just a stack of peeps haven't updated their timeline (the ones that think us number crunchers are nuts LOL)...

I STILL have my thoughts and fingers crossed that everyone who filed up to the end of September will see their NOA-2 by mid February....

have a GREAT day folks

you're all welcome

and I am SURE that CSC will not continue at this pace... don't get discouraged, people; it's demoralising, I know, but so far it's a TEMPORARY slow-down, and I think we have every reason to be confident that it will not continue for long

*praying that I'm right*

I hope so too!! I need good news and distractions at the moment!! My chilled out nature while waiting for NOA2 has diminished and now I am sat feeling ansy all the time about the wedding, about the move - I feel like I am going crazy and I just don't know how to make myself feel better - I know I am making the right choice and I awnt to move to the US but I just feel really lame and stupid!! I think maybe post-Feb once the wedding is out of the way and we can start looking at building our life together (getting a place to live etc!!) then I might settle down a bit as I will have somethign to focus on but in the meantime... I don't want to feel this nervous for the next five-six months!!!

Thanks for keeping us all up to date with the list, STP. I appreciate it. I'll be happy when you can take our name off (if only to give you one less to keep up with....hahaha..... ).

Uh I don't know how to feel about being # 1..... I'd rather be # done, but that certainly isn't happening very quickly.

I've called but I keep hearing the same story...."on an officer's desk."

I'm thinking maybe they should try looking up his butt....maybe that's where it's been misplaced....

Of course I didn't suggest that....I get the distinct impression those people don't have a sense of humor..... Is it because they live in California? (just kidding.....)

I certainly don't want to hold the record for the longest @ # 1.

Maria's ready to come home....

Ding ding...opening bell for CSC, who just arrived to work 15 minutes ago. Let's hope that all those approval stamps that were eaten by wild hyenas last week have been replaced.

They were eaten by pancake-bunnies.

John (just above), when you call and talk with one of the ImmigOffs, be sure to have them send a polite-yet-insistent e-mail to the officer up whose butt your file has been... uh, on whose desk your file purportedly is. The rectums at CSC should be not for files, but for wildcats -- hungry, and never declawed. Si, man.

Haha - yeah well my OH is from Cali and seriously - he is fine but have you ever dealt with Immigration at LAX?!?!?! They are the worst I swear... no sense of humour, like robots... have really scared me about going through immigration next month :/

Love NorCal - so pretty and leafy and nice. Fell in love with Shasta, want to go to Sacramento because we drove through on the 5 and it just looked so nice... Still lots of NorCal I want to see Good excuse for a visit when I move!!!

Oh - just had a thought moxie - we can go on random road trips - meet at a central point then caravan 'round a few states as a foursome - would be awesome... we can collect other people if they want to join as well - would be a VJ caravan!! w00t!!

[Jeraly 4]

But how cool?! We could meet in SF or something then drive east through all the dodgy mountain roads... ever driven the G-16? That was an experience!!

Sacramento just looked really nice but we didn't stop - I don't mind hot but then I am going to be living pretty much in the Mojave so I might as well get used to it... providing I tan ok I don't think I will mind!! Ok moxie - you and I are going to have to get some serious planning underway - it's this sort of thing that keeps me excited about moving

I was born and raised in the Bay Area (San Jose), then moved to Stockton a couple years ago to buy a house. My mom still lives in San Jose, but I hate going back there because the traffic sucks. It might be hotter here in the summer, but that's what the AC is for. After being in the Sacramento Valley, I like it. Even if I could afford to go back to the Bay Area, I doubt I would because I hate to waste my day sitting in traffic.

Exactly the reason I left Mox. I wish I could get my mom to sell her house, retire and move closer to me since I will be taking of her when she is older. So, are you in Santa Cruz Mox?

Off the subject, I hope we begin to see some CSC approvals this week. I am very strong willed, but I hate this waiting because I have no control over the outcome. My girl is getting uptight about the wait, but I tell her to look on here and she will see that it's not just us. No one in the CSC system is getting approved. I was just looking at the immi timelines and it apprears that the bulk of the July filers are done and that the people that aren't just haven't updated on VJ. I still have 17 days left on my Jan 31 guess from your CSC sweepstakes. I'm still keeping the faith, just very frustrating when I see VSC filers getting approved. Hope we see some actiion this week and bring up the moral around here.

No way!! We stopped in Monterey last time we were up there

Hey moxie - you're a bit of a whiz on things like this... You know how to track the package with DHL? I can't seem to figure it out I just wondered if you had any bright ideas... I feel like I have exhausted all possibilities...
