Lots of approvals and TBone's fiancee seems keen on him visiting... ahhh balance is finally being restored to the universe! (or something like that)

Am sat here waiting for Mark to phone me *is excited* as I haven't really talked to him since last week due to him being uber busy at work and then away for the weekend with friends / family stuff (his Dad's birthday).

I'm tired - all this nervous anticipation is wearing me out.

And you should maybe take a lovely chocolate bribe with you just in case Aly!

Settling into married life

Waiting on the EAD, AP, and AOS

"A" team... WOW guys... I hear you... I am currently bouncing around here in Adelaide... sun is still shining, I am in the midst of packing for my "trip" to the USA tomorrow... GRIN... my darling man thinks I am not getting in till Saturday... <grin> so I will be a massive surprise for him on his "thursday night" after his brother picks me up from the airport and takes me home... AND I am going over there with a NOA-2... I LITERALLY just about fell off my chair when I read the email, and I was just EXPLODING with happiness and excitement, my poor kiddos did not know what was going on LOL...

MOX... YOU ARE NEXT... at least within the week... I FEEL it in my bones...

Oh man oh man - the only way this could have felt better would have been if I had been with my honey when seeing that (LOL - instead of screaming down the phone at him while he was asleep :blush::blush: ) now - just the actual interview to go, and then the BEST day of my life when we actually get married... OH WOW I cannot CANNOT wait...

have a GREAT GREAT GREAT day everyone...

GO CSC, GO.... YOU ROCK....

well you do get what you pay for...) :)

For every act, service, or even the thought of providing same, my standard fee is $5,000.43. Si, man. The heart is leaping, the energy is back, and I might actually sleep tonight, si man. Could this be the arrival of my NOA3?

USCIS is SOOOO incompetent!!!! I haven't even gotten my NOA2 yet and already they are handing out NOA3 to May filers!!!! Someone needs to be fired! Write your congressman! Write the President! Light up the Bat Signal!

there are definitely people on here who are still waiting for their NOA2 longer than you have.

No sense in getting worked up about it.

how do you think the people who are stuck at 1, 5, or 10 feel?

my routine: wake up, check status on fiancee and uncle (separate visa sites), cuss out U.S. immigration practices, get ready for work...etc.

:lol: I think moxie was being ironic though - he knows there are people waiting from before him but a lot of us know how it feels when you see people who filed around the same time as you getting approved. He is just saying it tongue in cheek - he knows that there are others who should get theirs before him but he has also started seeing other Sept filers getting NOA2s which would make anyone ansy - I was the same when I was waiting :)
