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

[jentastic 0]

After browsing the forums more and more recently, I have to admit I'm rather curiously speculating on the NOA2s of ramzis51, Scott and Marta, and Tim Y. It's got to come through soon for all of you! So great to see it happen for u2rsobad and afterforever in the past few days. Hopefully CSC doesn't get all slow and completely useless again.

And all the touches Jamie76's (as a June filer) gotten lately have made me even more anticipative...

Hey guys, I haven't really been following this thread. BUt congratulations to all the recent approvals, including afterforever!! Yeah to you, now can you throw some of that my way so that I can get mine..... Okay, so the real reason why I'm posting is to ask if someone can make up a current list of people waiting for NOA2. Maybe there is one, if so can someone let me know. THanks have fun ya'll

Believe me, I have been sending out my mojo to both you and Ramzis. Hope you both get approved this week.

Just wishing there weren´t those 24 April and 59 May filers that are still waiting...when will you get out of our way? 111 June filers waiting for you to get out of our way

Is anyone going to be doing a new list like the one the bszoom used to do??

Im sure that would be greatly appreciated by everyone on here! (If one kind person has the spare time needed to do it that is!!)

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Maybe

That data is only as reliable as the people who update their timelines. I would guess most of the pre-May 25th CSC filers who are waiting on that list aren't still waiting in real life.

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

well there are still people waiting from year 2006...we thought they just didn´t update their timelines, but they said they were still waiting...so ...no fun for them

Thanks, jentastic. I'm still floating on cloud nine and waiting for ramzis and other May & early June filers to joing me (actually all filers, but those that have waited for what seems like forever to join first)

Come on CSC...keep the ball rolling!!! I have many friends here anxiously awaiting approvals!!

Actually, most of the pre-May 25th filers are indeed still waiting. I've chatted with several of them and unfortuately they are waiting and trying their best to be patient. The same goes for those who filed at VSC.

I was just wondering...ur2sobad...how did that happen that you have been dating for 11 years? Didn´t you wanna get married after like 7 years?

LOL..I knew I wanted to get married after 1 month! But, he wasn't ready. I lived over there for 15 years, about a 10 min walk to his family's house at the bottom of the hill. Lots of factors played into us (me) waiting. I was divorced (not very socially accepted there), had 2 children already, I'm older (no prob for him, but was for his dad) and to his family's dismay..I'm not Japanese. He's several years younger than I and wasn't ready for an instant family with me let alone being written out of his family (his father's threat..then stating "no foreign blood in this family"). Due to a death in my family, I had to move back to the USA and after being apart, he's decided he doesn't really care how his family feels, he's not going to live any longer without me. That's the jest of it in a nut shell. They say good things come to those who wait...well, I've done more than my fair share of waiting

Agreed Good luck to you both

Scott, re your comments about staying positive:

You are exactly correct. I read an earlier post where some guy was trying to get something going about writing letters to Lou Dobbs and Oprah. He said he was happy he could be an example to others. A letter to Lou Dobbs? to Oprah? When I stopped laughing, I realized the dude was serious about himself (or herself, whichever it was).

The point is this is a process we have to go through to get to something that is important to us. I believe that my government is doing what it can to protect our citizens, in a manner it thinks correct. I'm not smart enough to suggest public policy, but I think it should be based on something more than selfish interest. Quite frankly, I doubt that the civil servants who carry out policy foresaw the coming of recent problems. It appears that they handled those problems as best they could, given the resources available to them. And I, for one, am not interested in pouring more money down the government drain to merely shorten the process, if it is in fact working efficiently. I doubt anyone here has the knowledge to intelligently comment on the efficiency of this process and I suspect if they do they are probably sympathetic with those workers who are on the wrong end of someone's anonymous wrath.

Calling somone names (retard, etc.) simply because he/she works for the government is baseless, tasteless and spineless. I feel bad for those workers who have no choice but to sit and to listen to the braaing (I think I spelled that correctly) of sheep with their incessant complaints about which the employees can do nothing. The guy comes in in the morning, punches the clock, does the best job he can while he's at work and goes home at the end of the day (just like most of us here). Making derrogatory comments about our government is safe in a venue that provides anonymity. Saying it in a public place may be a bit more hazardous to one's health. (Not from the government, but from someone who takes offense about such comments.) Constructive advice and suggestions will always be useful, but ignorant criticism yields no benefit.

Scott, yours is the logical approach. This is one part of a journey. Our view is similar to yours. We do what is in our power to speed up the process and we are optimistic about the outcome. We, too, choose to be patient but attentive to what is happening. We eagerly look forward to the day Maria comes home. When this process is over and she is finally here, we will have lifelong memories (fond ones) about all we went through to get her here. And we will have learned about ourselves and each other in the process.

We're getting close; very close, and it gets more exciting every day. Originally we had hoped she would be home for Christmas, then New Year's. Now it looks like we're going to have the best Valentine's Day ever. And if it's later still, we'll still find something positive about it, whenever it is.

Good luck to you, Scott, and to all of us.

To u2rsobad,

It is very nice that you guys have dated for 11 years and finally marry. I have been with my fiance for 7 years since my junior year in highschool as an exchange student. And I wan not able to disclose about him to my family for a long time. A few months ago, my great grandmother died and everthing in my family was changed and finally I told my family that I am planning to marry and move to the US. And my fiance (USC) came to meet my family and actually my parents liked him. He is well educated and has a decent job even though he is a new graduate. And we are not planning to have a child, so my parents agree to let us marry
