Wow, it's already April...

I mean I turn 27 on Monday...and I still remember havin' my sweetheart home with me for the month of January as if it was yesterday.

Scare them with a shutdown and my how they move

Money is a the universal lubricant to get things moving!

Congrats!

It's a sad state of affairs.

Thank you both Janis and Jen for sharing your experiences, it was definitely very interesting to read them! Now that Ive read your posts it seems more than obvious that they would have all that info on their computers. And yes it is definitely better to be safe than sorry, so being prepared for anything is the way to go It's funny though that neither of us has been questioned at all (meaning me and Josh) on our multiple visits - especially me of course. Id imagine that the POE officer would've said something when I told her I was just there for a vacation if she saw that I'm in the process of immigrating to the country. Maybe I just look so innocent or maybe she was tired and didn't feel like giving anyone a third degree that day.

I'm really hoping I'll continue to be just as lucky when I next cross the border. It's going to be a 2-month visit this time so I'm going to prepare with a letter from my employer as well as a bank statement of sufficient funds to support myself and a copy of the whole I-129f package.

On another note, do you guys know what all this talk about a government shutdown is? And that possibly postponing the progress of all pending applications even further? Im thinking this is all just talk and won't have a real effect on K1's but who knows... I hope Im not just freaking myself out here for no reason

If anything, it'll just add the long wait that we're all having to go through. From what I've been reading the only thing that'll go uninterupted would be the United States Postal Service. >_<

Oh gosh, what a mess. They are already playing with our lives ... won't someone please give us a break

I was just thinking the same thing.

They are very quick to cash checks but yet when people need something it tends to take forever and a day.

Then again, I'm just venting a bit.

watching alot of people get thier NOA2, it just gives me renewed hope that soon enough it'll be our turn. Especially with some people in Feburary getting the lucky 'Golden Ticket' and getting thier NOA2 in less than 40 days.

They sure do process those checks quick, don't they!

I was thinking that same thing. Quick to cash the check...

This is a slow and what seems to be rather flawed system. But whatca gonna do?

Congrats!

This gives the rest of us alot of hope!

And we wait.... Thank God for Skype and email and texts.

Luckily me and my girl both have Blackberries so we used Blackberry Messenger alot!

That and Vontage mobile FTW!

Amen to that!

It is the most frustrating process I have ever experienced. I am NOT a naturally patient person, but this process helped me develop more patience than I ever thought possible for me. It is not easy at all. But... it's worth it.

My fiance and I have this thing we say, and we tend to say it almost every night because we miss each other so much:

Him: "Tell me you love me."

Me: "I love you."

Him: "How much?"

Me: "Enough to deal with USCIS for you."

Him: " "

That made me laught...so going to use that.

New January Filer here!

Just like everyone else, just simple 'doing my time' as it seems.

Thank God for Vontage and Blackberry Messenger! WOO!

Nope! I'm running Windows 7 and just opened it no problem for Vermont data.

But us running Vista...not so much.
