Waiting on the VSC to make a decision?

Coming here and saying he shouldn't have done that does not help.

"Coming in here"?

Topics are separated into threads so there is not a cacophony of multiple discussions going on at the same time in a single thread. Nobody (with the probable exception of CE) owns these threads, not even the OP. We are all VJ members, and nobody should be discouraged from posting in any particular thread. There are plenty of non-September filers who post in the September thread, we even have Canadian filers drop into the Russian forum from time to time. I could list dozens and dozens of other examples. Of course, I really didn't expect a big hug and open arms from some of the regulars when I posted my criticism (although I have posted in this thread before and was never asked to leave), but as a VJ member I wanted to voice my opinion on a trend I was seeing in this particular thread. I did so in a respectful manner, and I was as non-confrontational as I could be given the circumstances. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, and I certainly knew it would rile the poster I was addressing. But I think we're all adults here and hopefully we can take a little bit of criticism. What we do with that criticism is our own choice, either ignore it or accept it. But let's not get into the whole "get out of our thread intruder!" mentality. Disagree with me if you will, that's cool, but respect my right to post within the guidelines of the TOS and I'll respect yours.

I said "coming here' not "coming in here"

I fly all over the place and I think I have posted in every forum. I post everywhere and put in my $0.02. In no way was I implying that you should not post here. I am one of the last people to say you should not post where you choose.

I think my choice of words was poor and that is my mistake.

Let me rephrase: Saying that he should not say what he did does not help.

Posting a message that says "Another approval today...filed in October. BS." right after that filer posts their approval is a slap in the face, even if it's not a direct response to their approval message.

The person didn't even post here. I took it from the statistics. Seriously, I will congratulate every person that is approved here, even if they filed 3 days ago. I'm not angry at them, I'm angry at the process, or lack thereof.

I want everyone in this thread to know that if you filed before I did and I am approved before you, feel free to be pissed off. I will still be happy, but you have every right to be angry and voice that displeasure. In fact, if I'm approved before Lora, that will be total BS.

Wow that is neighborly of you to be pissed off for me.......

Thanks for your point of view........I know you understand mine

Ah, gotcha. Fair enough, my mistake also (and first). I'll agree to disagree with you on the rephrase.

You're the one that wants to move on. I'm willing to move on. So drop it already. Or not. *shrug*

well considering this had nothing to do with you just how he was being so nice for understanding me and how I understand him.....and sharing a little light humor.....Oh well sorry for you misunderstanding

Help!! I just read on IRS this: If you need an actual copy of your return, you should complete and mail Form 4506 (PDF), Request for Copy of Tax Return, along with a check or money order for $ 39.00 per tax year made payable to the "United States Treasury". Allow 60 calendar days to receive your copies.

Within two weeks for transcripts...which is fine....but 60 days for the other ones?!?!!?!? Is that true??? Do I really need them? I have photocopies.....can I take those photocopies and transcripts???

Hey guys..I just heard back from our congressmans office and they received an email back from their

inquiry and it said that our file was in the "processing unit"....has anyone ever heard that term used and

if so....do you know what that means?

Of course, that statement was followed by the statement that they (the congressman) could call back and check

in....are you ready for this....."30 to 60 days"....YEP....I know all of you are totally and completely shocked by that

statement!! :wacko:

Oh. No, I'm not surprised at all. When I hit six months I asked my congressman to look into it and they said that I'd been with an adjudicator as of 11/28. (i'm unclear if that means that the crate was simply checked out, or if it was being worked). That was followed by the statement that if I hadn't heard by January I was welcome to call back. This was right around the 29th, or so. I called January 9th because I still hadn't heard and she said that I should really expect the NOA1- NOA2 process to take a YEAR, but if I hadn't heard by mid-February I could call back again. I'm sure if I haven't heard by Mid-Feb and I call them back again I'll be told to call back again in March.

Bah I tried to edit this and it got eaten.

We're gonna get approved eventually Charlene, just you wait! And, its worth it no?

And extra to everybody here that's offered suggestions, tips, commiseration, encouragement, and shared lots of laughs as we all wait. You guys have all been wonderful and I'm grateful that I have all of you to share this time with. If I was going it alone I'd have gone stark raving crackers by now!

Yeah I was afraid that it meant nothing....but I was just curious....I guess everyone is down it seems and quiet the last few days...I totally relate...

I have got to focus on something else...or this is going to take its toll on me....

I hope the next time I pull this up there will be better news!!!!!!!!
