Maybe we should start drinking early... for the New Year?

I'm telling you. . . drinking makes it go by faster. . . or is that the passing out/sleeping for lots of time. . . I kid, I'm not that bad, yet :yes:

I don't drink much either, but I may start :whistle: I am hoping all of us start getting approvals around the 120 to 130 mark... truly, I hope I am wrong and it is earlier... but then again... there is drinking :thumbs: as you say to pass the time or pass out!

I don't drink at all... maybe i should start...

I am passing my time by trying to plan the cheapest but elegant wedding ever... its frustrating enough that its extremely time consuming. It doesn't take my mind off the fact that I am lonely and extremely frustrated with this entire process, but it does remind me that end result is well worth it.

My friend got ordained over the internet and is going to marry us, then we are going out to eat as our wedding. The process is frustrating. . . and I concur the end result is well worth it.

My Dad is going to marry us at his home church in Fort Worth. The venue will be free and they do not mind the fact that we don't have an exact date. Its going to be a DIY wedding; which is fine since I am a graphic designer, and my mom is an artist... creativity comes in handy with decorations, invites, etc. Small wedding Small cost :yes:

I have mid summer in mind (hoping for earlier of course)... I figure with our relationship this has been a seven year process so a few more months is doable... I remind myself that in just a few months things will be a lot better and this wait will be just a vague memory.... Plus my hair falls out when I stress too much! I cannot have bald patches when he gets here... not cute!!

No that infi is NOT correct at all.There's way more May/June/July and August Filers STILL waiting.And NO September NOA2 so far.Not from CSC that is.

I know how you all feel,I'd much rather be approved right now too,but thanks to all them "smart" ppl that have tried to beat the (not even 300$ for the I 129f) fee increase we all have to wait several months longer.

Am I upset about it?! You bet I am.Personally we would have much rather paid 500$ more and be approved within the normal 90 day timeframe then having to sit here and wait God knows how long just because some ppl think the 285$ saved on the I 129f is worth waiting several mnths longer to be with your loved one. :angry:

Now as for OS fee increase I can sort of understand that but NOT for the I 129f.

Lets just HOPE that the backlog will soon be history and all of us October Filers will be approved in February.Maybe even late Januray,which I seriously doubt because ever since 12/19 CSC handed out only 12 NOA 2's. And that's 11 days...........

Let's hope and pray that we see at least 30 NOA2's next week.

Go over and look on the list in the Waiting for NOA2 from CSC,the last one was issued 12/19.And hoping for a new one as soon as the person making the list returns from the holidays.

Best of luck,much of patience and speedy approvals fopr all of us!

Just keep in mind that 2008 will be our year.We will all be approved,get our Visa's be reunited with our loved ones and can finally get married to these special ppl that are patiently waiting for us to get our paperwork done.(James I LOVE YOU!)

Nat

Met on May 17,2005

Got engaged on Sep 15th,2006

Came to the US for good on Jan 27th,2009

and we got married on March 28th,2009

GOD , grant me the serenity

to accept the things I can not change

the courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference!

I beg to differ ... look at member ID CamyCar.

Carina & Cameron Colombia California Service Center NOA1 2007-09-18 NOA2 2007-12-18

They posted this on December 19th ...

"NOA2 Approved

Hello everyone. Just an update. I received an email today that our I-129F has been approved! It is on to Bogota!! We are so happy and thankful to all of you that have blazed this trail. It is exciting to see so much action in December. Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

As I said, one September filer has an NOA2 ... but they did post their forms in on 2007-08-27 sp maybe I am a day off!!!
