BTW I'm a vodka guy. I like vodka martinis and *love* screwdrivers. Lately a friend of mine has turned me on to mimosa's though. It's kind of a girly drink but tasty. (mimosa = champagne and orange juice.)

Uh, Mox, girlies are tasty. I used to be really bugged about kissing chicks who wore lipstick, until a buddy pointed out that "it tastes female." And, y'know what? Si, man.

Next time I'm in the hospital (the real one, not the insane-asylum whose day-pass I'm still VERY badly abusing), and I'm intravenously given inotropic solution, I'm going to request one of those little paper umbrellas to go with it. Si, man.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

What about the ROUS's?

I don't think they exist...

would you beLIEVE that at my staff Christmas party, while talking with a group of at LEAST ten people, different genders, a range of ages, a couple of nationalities, I made a PB reference and NO ONE got it! I looked incredulous and said it was the Princess Bride, and none of them had even HEARD of it, let alone seen it... then they got all smarmy and said as I was in the minority it must just be a little-known thing :angry:

buncha eejits :P

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.

Oh dear - I am afraid I could get evicted from this thread for not knowing any PB quotes :unsure:

On another note - I am looking up David Letterman top ten pics - nothing seems to be in a high enough res that I could use it though so if you come across anything then I am sure I could work with that :) In the meantime I might just stick to the gorilla idea :lol:

I do not think...

No. No, I won't do it!

Well the good news is that CSC increased their approval rate from 0.67 approvals per day to 0.75. I have no top ten lists or snappy witticisms to accompany that observation, which, I suppose, can also be thought of as good news. :)

Tomorrow is another day.

How about wappy snitticisms?

Good gnus (polite antelopes?): After about 8 fruitless tries during the day on an expensive calling-card, because Work Frowns on Placing Unauthorized Long-Distance Calls on Workplace Money Even Though Employees' Personal Cell-Phones Can't Pick up Signals Indoors, I waited till I got home, called the NVC at around 11:45p their time, and learned that the NVC sent my papers to the Guayaquil consulate on January 16, si man! I didn't ask NVC when they themselves received the papers from the CSC, so my diligently updated VJ Timeline is now necessarily up-screwed. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the consulate to holler, and how much time there will be pre-interview to coagulate all the Evidence, si man.

You June & July folks who are still suffering from Lack-of NOA2 Syndrome: CALL the blinkin' CSC at least once a week, and be SURE that you are talking NOT to one of the contract-employee front-line losers, but to an actual Immigration Officer. I credit all of my progress to the reality that I was able to bypass the rude, clueless mofoes and talk with people who were capable of helping and who cared. Si, man.

Enough seriousness; pun-time: If a caviar-producing fish performs open-heart surgery, is he a qualified cardiac sturgeon?

Moxie's CSC Top Ten List

I like it! The number one reason might be a bit confusing to someone who's never seen my sig, but then the number one reason on a list is usually lame anyway, right? :D

Lol - I thought the same thing... I figured it could be taken that you could be a gorilla or something... but still - it makes me laugh and it is now on my visa page alongside the London Embassy interview questions and Debz' CSC prayer :) Might put the maps in the same list :)

Here's hoping the 0.75 per day rate improves today!!!

Indeed! I'm really hopeful we'll see some significant movement soon. The sooner they get caught up on everyone who filed before the start of August, the happier I'll be. I'm pretty resigned to a six-month wait... but I don't want to be looking at an autumn / fall 2009 wedding! ~ Hannah
