Hi Guys...

and A-Team & MOX ..... ooooh the dress is great isn't it... thankyou for saying so... (it has certainly cheered me up, was feeling "as we all do" a bit flat about this process) but now have a smile on my dial (AND NO... <GRIN> HE doesn't read these forums LOL)... I just hope I can look half as good as that gal modelling the dress, and take his breath away a bit on our wedding day...

now my 15 yr old daughter (and my 10 yr old daugther-to-be) are both wanting to know what I will have them wearing... <grin> they think because I managed to score my dress at half price that we now must have money to burn <grin>

I also must say just how I FEEL for all of you who won't be spending your Xmas with your loved ones this year... I am VERY fortunate that Steve is flying out here to have a good old "Aussie" xmas (a bit different than cold OHIO LOL)...

.... and seriously DECEMBER and early January (cause of the silly season) tends to "whip" by anyway, so before we know it we will be mid January, going into February....

and just think folks.... all of those experiences and wonderful special days from next year onwards we will always be with our loved one...

September filers will pretty much just have to get through Valentines Day :crying: and then probably Easter, being that it is in March... BUT our interview dates SHOULD all start happening from late March through April & May.... my heart :innocent: is set on a February interview date (UMMMMMM BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT going to happen) <grin> So now I am honestly thinking with the speed up that we are seeing on the adjudications, that my kiddos and I will be at a late April interview up in Sydney, and then flying over their IMMEDIATELY afterwards... they can at least spend 2-3 weeks in school before Summer vacation to get to know some kids... and then I am thinking a May 24th Wedding... :whistle: well that is the thought process right now (I will put a blank check box on our invites just in case) <grin>

FYI on some of the stats that I had done on another thread.

Filers for K-1 (all centres) 1st June through 30 September

as at the end November...

652 - k1 records filed between june/sept.

614 - have NOA-1

205 - have NOA-2

447 - waiting for NOA-2

15 - days average from filing to NOA-1

125 - days average from NOA-1 to NOA-2

11 - have interviews

80 - days average for those with interviews from NOA-2 to interview date.

SPECIFICALLY for September filers...

82 - k1 records for Sept. (all centres)

74 - with NOA-1

7 - with NOA - 2 (congratulations)

3 - with Interviews (double congratulations)

have a GREAT day folks

Hi everyone! Since I've never received NOA1 I called USCIS today and they found me on their system and they told me I have a receit number starting with WAC... They said if I want another receipt(NOA1, since I never got one in the mail) to write them and they will sent me another one at home.Should I go ahead and write them?

Also with the WAC number I will check the status on the USCIS website?

Thanks!

You won't ever need your NOA1 notice for anything, so if you don't want to bother with it then don't worry. I'm a completest though, always feel like I need to have every scrap of paper. So if you're like me, go ahead and request it.

Also with the WAC number I will check the status on the USCIS website?

You can. Go here. You can just check the status online without creating an account, but it's easiest if you create an account and then add your receipt number to your portfolio.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for answering..I made an account also and added the case number to my portfolio.

Now I have another question.. What does it mean when someone gets "TOUCHED" will that be showing on the account I made?

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.

actually, part of all the shake up round the end of July was to make the distribution more even... and it's happened; if you look at petitions filed after August 1 they even out considerably :)

You're also check your mail from previous address even you've changed it. I will not change my address unitl I receive NOA2 (too risk, I read somewhere on VJ).

BTW, Sept filers. I haven't see any touch yet. Did you guys get touch? I know it's too early, but can't keep the silence.
