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!!!

You should aspire to look like a well-done cuy (q.v. recipes). 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01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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(!).

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.

hmm... innaresting

I don't recall ever seeing those names before... which means either:

1) I am less observant than I think I am ;)

2) these people have recently changed the names that display on their timelines, or

3) they created timelines for the express purpose of displaying an approval

as I say; innaresting ;)

Thanks Eli.

I don't know if they work weekends anymore. For awhile they were requiring mandatory overtime, and we would actually see approvals over the weekend and sometimes even over a holiday. But lately the approvals have been happing on more of a M-F timeframe, so they've probably at least scaled back on any weekend work.

Truthfully, my estimated dates have slid back as things slowed a little late last week - I think we will hear about ours by last week of Feb or 1st week of March and we are expecting a RFE for an unsigned additional details page. You should have yours in 10 days at this rate Mox.

Looking around today, I noticed it's getting spring like here in Ireland - I spotted two birds going at it on a rooftop - (not 'birds', I mean real birds) - and it just reminded me that while it seems that this whole process is taking ages and time seems to be creeping really, really slowly while waiting for a NOA2, the world is still rotating at 107,218 km/h and it will happen.

Oh, M's Dad wrote to one of the Oregon congressmen to make an enquiry about our application. His assistant said to get back to him in 2009 if we hadn't heard anything ... I ####### you not!!!

Hi there, I just checked your always updated VJ Timeline and realized our case wast last touched (ACCORDING TO YOUR STATS) on January 28. However, when I log into my account at the USCIS Website, it says it was last updated on November 29.

So... who do I trust? ;) Don't take me wrong, I want to trust you and hope your stats tell me something new. We're ready to get our NOA2, believe me!

Thanks much!

-Nineta
