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

[TBoneTX 48,160]

Well once again I've lost track of who I've congrat'd

Uh, Mox... the correct verb is "gratzied," ain't it? I thunked that this was common knowledge, si man. Aly may be tempted to smack you for your ilitrisy. The good news is that we're not Italians, because then we'd have to write "ringraziamente" all the time, si man.

Incidentally, the EB (Ecuadorian Babe) got her DHL yesterday and liked everything inside, especially the several romantic greeting-cards in Spanish, purchased conveniently right here in Tejas (Spanish spelling -- get used to it). She did inquire why there were no fotos (Spanish spelling, much more sensible than ours) of me in it. (I have sent her all that exist, si man!) Finally, I have just bought my ticket to Ecuador (convenient 5.5-hour nonstops on Continental, including dinner both ways, and something like 4,780 frequent-flyer miles to come from it, to replenish those that I used the last two times). Si, man!

youwhooooooo! I went from 270 to 226 in one week! At this rate I'll be approved by the end of March.

err.... On second thought, why the difference between the two lists - The one that STP shows me at 226 while the other spreadsheet on this thread shows me at 250, Is it because people haven't been updating timelines or people no longer active? Just curious, I know I'm in this for the long haul.

There are 3 reasons for differences between lists:

1. StP sorts the list by the NOA1 date. I sort the list by the sent date.

2. We are most likely using different criteria for filtering out timelines of people no longer active.

3. I don't know about StP, but I'm also including in my list the petitions sent to NSC and TSC that were then transferred to CSC.

I'm 202 on one list and 208 on the other - either way it's exciting to see yourself getting closer to the front of the queue!

Well that and the fact there is no "th" sound in Russian. Phrases like "thank you" are tough (and humorous to me) because she has to really concentrate and enunciate. It comes out like "thhhh ankyou."

Tank you, fank you... if she can approach the "th" sound, simply be alert to whether she has just taken a mouthful of crisp saltine crackers -- in this event, duck! Quack, man. By the way, what became of the pancake-bunny? The link now brings up a blank page. This situation is dire.

Let's hope no one turned him into a bunny-cake...that would indeed be sad, but probably tasty to someone? Ohooo

TB - things seem to be looking up!! Great that she got the package and liked it!! Let us know how the visit goes!! You headed over in March now?

And no pancake bunny?! What is the world coming to?!

[Jeraly 4]

*checks* Ah yes - pancake bunny all present and correct!! Man I hate laptops... they are detrimental to my multi-tasking and I want to go sit outside in the sunshine!!

[TBoneTX 48,160]

The "ir" sound in "Kirk" is particularly hard for her too. She can either do "Keerk" (with a rolling "R") or "Kuh-RRR-keh." We both prefer the former. She is, however, quite adamant about the pronunciation of her own name. It is "Nah-dyeh" not "Nad-ee-yah."

Now, if only the BRITISH could learn to speak English, si man...

If you're at work, it's quite possible that your company blocks Flickr. You'll have to get your pancake bunny fix at home I'm afraid.

It didn't block it before, but if Aly confirms its continuing presence, gratzies on the discovery. And why would I want to neuter the bunny in the first place, much less at home?

You headed over in March now?

Si, man.

Easy enough to check. Go to http://flickr.com and see if you can see anything.

Aha -- blocked, man. But you're dodging the question of why I should get the pancake-bunny fixed at home. A veterinarian should really do that, si man.

I just thought being from Tejas and all...you know...you might be into that sort of thing.

How dare you call Texas "Tejas"? Are you one of these illegal-immigration apologists? Are you trying to say that the national language of Texas should not be Redneck... er, English?

Interestingly, in South America (Ecuador, Peru, parts of Colombia), people eat guinea pigs (called "cuy") as readily as we eat chicken. Indeed, in Ecuador, I have personally espied, with my own eyeballs, restaurant signs with "cuy" (in medium and large sizes) advertised colorfully right next to "pollo" (chicken). (I have not seen fotos of pancake-bunnies down there yet.) There are also streetside cuy-vendors. For all that one would want to know about this delicacy called cuy, and for delicious recipes, see: http://gosouthamerica.about.com/od/cuisine/a/cuy.htm

and do a Google search on "cuy" to see two images -- pre- and a serving idea -- right up top. Si, man.

Awwwwww...so cute! The live ones are kinda cute too.

"The only good cuy is a DEAD cuy." Si, man.

I have a sincere apology to make. I have thought long and hard about how rude I have been about StP's lists. After all, lets not forget that she takes the time to create this list as a service to others still awaiting NOA2 despite the fact that she has long since received hers. It was incredibly insensitive of me to criticise the list and for that I am truly sorry.

I like the list. I do. It's a good list....

....because I'm not on it!!!!!!!

Give us some DETAILS, Woman! Si, man.

[Jeraly 4]

Trust me - there are more details there than you could ever wish to know - hence the disclaimer at the top

Had enough of cooking myself - made the favour boxes by the pool then came back inside. Not sure that lobster-bride is a good look!!!
