Hello to you all, you lovely, lovely people. Haven't posted here for nearly a year - I'm in with the September filers too, posted off late in the month but we haven't even received NOA1 yet so I've absolutely no idea where we are or what's going on. I'm the non-USC of the pairing, and I've just driven my beloved to the airport after a fabulous week together so I'm quietly falling to bits and hoping for some good news soon...

Just wanted to wish all filers a Merry Christmas and hope 2008 brings good things too all and have our loved ones with us for next Christmas. This process may seem like it takes forever, but in the grand scheme of things, a few months (ok maybe up to 6-8 months) is not long at all. Take care all. We should be happy and thankful that we have some one special in our lives.

Wait a minute, I thought the Winter solstice was about a week ago? Dec 22?

Someone needs to hang around and watch the forum. It won't be me, as I'll be leaving shortly to see my Fiancee as well. I should be back just in time for my predicted first Feb aproval. It'll be great.

I just checked the USCIS website ad their processing time......for california center says that visa k-1 is back at 6 months waiting................woohoooooooooooooooooo....is that mean that they are working faster now???

But I'm kinda confused here.....the normal deadline was 6 months to be approved and have your visa in hand but now is it just for the approval of NOA2 ?

I'm getting really sick and tired of all that *&^^&&^& but I'm putting my trust in Gods hands to make it happen faster....

Anyway I have the chance to be with my honey for the holidays so I'll try to not complain to much. BUT GOING BACK IS ALWAYS SO HARD ON BOTH OF US

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU !!!!! MAY ALL YOUR WISH COME TRUE...ESPECIALLY THE ONE WE ALL WANT

I also think January will be our month. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Here is my positive thinking that helps pass the time:

1. This was my last Christmas without my filipina.

2. This will be my last New Year's without my filipina.

3. This will be my last winter without my filipina.

Haha. And the other day when I was scraping ice from my windshield I was thinking that I can't wait to ask my beautiful Jocelyn to do that job for me. Haha, I just laugh at that vision. But really I don't think she would do a good job because she would only be able to reach a little bit of the windshield so I would be looking out the far left side of the windshield as I wait for the defroster to melt the rest.

Can you tell I'm bored of this waiting?
