September Filers!

[TheATeam 0]

We've been thinking that the last week in February is feasible. I guess we'll see, but anything MORE than March and I'm going to have an issue!

Welcome to December, September filers!! How's everyone holding up? Seems like this month will be the "doldrums" for us Sept filers. Too far away to really hope for progress, but close enough that it seems just out of reach. Argh!!!!

I reckon you guys will start to see some action in January... that's NEXT MONTH

Ah December... boo. I'm holding up by drowning my sorrows in egg nog and crazy coloured christmas-y cereal. I've actually been making a list as to how to enjoy my possibly last Canadian christmas in awhile. So far, that list consists of stuff to buy and bring with me when I move.

I'm holding up alright, its driving my Fiancée crazy however. Everyday she asks me if there is any update.

Well thanks a lot StillThePrettiest, now you've got me all excited. And not just about your hawt unibrow! Someone please give me a tranquilizer that'll put me out for the next 30 days.

@Daly: What could you possibly bring from Canada that we don't already have here? We have hockey now, you know! :lol: (sorry, just trying to live up to the dumb American stereotype...)

@ChrisC: I know what you mean. My SO doesn't really understand the process, and has pretty much left it in my hands. About all I can tell her right now is that the interview in Moscow will be in the spring. But she's starting to ask about firm dates so she can make plans. And dangit, we were planning on her staying with her friend in Moscow, but she had to up and get herself married and leave the city. And lodging in Moscow is crazy expensive. Pretty inconsiderate of her friend if you ask me.

WEEEEELLLLL <grin> I for one, am feeling ON TOP OF THE MOON today... ahhh not for what you think (an NOA-2) would be just the most wonderful gift right now...

just wanted to share...

BUT - I JUST bought my wedding dress... WHOOO HOOOOOOOOO....

oh you must all go and look at it...

Davids Bridal, style VW9340

http://www.davidsbridal.com/search.jsp?sea...ch_query=VW9340

and the BEST thing is - I have had my heart set on this dress - and by accident came across someone selling it on EBAY (brand new, never worn) for LESS than half price including shipping, my size and all... so rang the lady selling it to ask a few questions - all on the up and up... so paid for it... and she was already boxing it up to send to me... (too funny though, she is sending it to me here in Australia, and she's in the USA - just in case I need to get any alterations done)... and it will arrive here around the same time as my DARLING USC fiance will arrive (as he's coming here for Xmas) <grin> could have had it shipped to him (but would have been too worried that he'd take a sneak peek) LOL...

So I am dancing around feeling pretty darn good about everything, and at the rate that our application is going - we are probably looking at an April interview and moving over there in May... so a late May/early June wedding which for this dress will be absolutely perfecto.... and for a second marriage, I don't think this dress is too "weddingish" or over the top - if you know what I mean... ??

have a GREAT day folks

I'm very excited that it is December! Shortly after we filed, I bought tickets to visit my dear fiancee towards the end of december, knowing how very long the wait for NOA2 would be. It'll be exactly what we need.

It sounds so good to hear everyone so positive! The christmas season must has gotten into into eveyrone....and on top of that I think we are all realizing that our turn is coming just around the corner. I know that for me I am not happy to spend another holiday season away from my fiance, and yet I have to believe that these weeks will pass quickly and soon enough we will be in January! That is definitely a blessing.

For those of you who get to visit your SO for the holidays...enjoy it! i will try not to be envious, esecially since I just got back from Chile a week ago.

And for those of you buying wedding dresses that is awesome! How fun. I know that I was super excited the day that I bought my dresses and since then has decided no matter when this visa comes through we can get married--cause I already have the dress! haha

I'm thinking of hoarding crazy amounts of Shreddies, Clodhoppers, Rocky Mountain Soap products and some local homemade canuck stuffs. That's all that comes to mind so far. And no worries about the American stereotype; My USC keeps reminding me that canadian bacon is available there as well as indoor ice rinks for emergency re-Canadianize moments.

Tracy, that dress is BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to buy a dress. Right at this moment though we're not sure we'll have a big wedding. It may just end up being a quick legal ceremony at the courthouse and then a celebration on our first anniversary or something like that.

OMG! Thinking about possibly getting approvals next month sounds SO amazing right now! My fiancee just left this evening and I'm so sad and tired, even though I know he'll be back up to visit me at Christmas time. (as much as he just LOVES Canadian winters! ~giggles~)

@ChrisC

You mean EricC?

Derrr...yeah. I have an online friend who goes by "ChrisC." You can see my confusion...

That dress is gorgeous Tracy! Your SO doesn't happen to read these forums does he?
