VSC = "Very Slow Center"! They do have the same resources as CSC but still.....

Vermont, Vermont, Vermont, for Chrissy's sake, why sleepeth thou? California is light years ahead of you!

I hope VSC picks up the pace....full speed ahead!

By the way, your profile says you filed in California - but the list in the thread shows Vermont. Maybe someone who knows how to could move you over from Vermont to California

I go to that website. Once you get your noa1 it will give you a case number. You can create an account, and log in, and get the updates. I hope it will work with the i-751....at least I'm going to give it a try.

Yes and yes....for me too. I got emails for both. I am electronic processing....and was informed by email for both of your questions.
Anyone want to correct me? And tell me that this did not happen? Everycase is different...but this is MY experience.

Ok, I was born and raised a Jersey girl. I am educated, well liked and proud to be american. I married a foreign man. Everyone kept telling me to find an american....I didn't find one that suited me. Yes, we american women are strong willed, strong minded, but we are passionate, compassionate....like all other women. And yet, we are supposed to sit back and allow other people trash our country? NO! I did not ask my husband to come here! It was his choice! And, I would have gladly moved to his country (before the Syrian revolution started). But that does not mean I like my country any less, or his less. I will not judge anyones country without being there, and seeing firsthand what it is like.
But do not dare speak ill of us, and expect us to sit back and allow it! I will defend my country! And I say again.....IF YOU DO NOT LIKE US, OR LIKE MY COUNTRY.....THEN LEAVE! PLEASE DO US THAT FAVOR! And same goes to all american born citizens who want to bash the USA!

Amen to that! Finally! Completely agree! Don't like it here, don't come.

Amen to that! Finally! Completely agree! Don't like it here, don't come.

You know the one great thing about America that you are so freely exercising right now? Freedom of Speech. Can you speak freely about and trash your wife's country if you were to move there?

SOMEONE has to stand up for us!!! This is like, the 2nd America bashing thread in two days that I've seen!!!!

Amen to that! Finally! Completely agree! Don't like it here, don't come.

I salute you!!

As an American I can say you're welcome to go somewhere else if you're just going to b!tch about the country you're so desperately seeking to either come to or bring a spouse to.
You know, I've been seeing a lot of America bashing threads recently on this board. I know everyone is frustrated with our immigration process -- I am too (and I'm American by birth-- family has been here for at least 500 years, no lie). However, if all you guys can do it talk ####### about the country you're either trying to move to or are trying to bring your spouse to, why don't you look into another country??? You don't HAVE to deal with "pigheaded Americans" or our "lack of health care" or "snide remarks." No one is holding a gun to your head and saying "MOVE TO AMERICA." So.... calm down. Stop bashing the US. Seriously. It's getting really old.

I live in South Jersey. We are close to Philly....our news, sports, etc. are all based on Philly. So I completely understand about the news, and unsafe neighborhoods. I personally stay away from Philadelphia as much as possible. I remember one time, took my kids to the Phila. zoo....we made a wrong turn, and ended up in a very bad neighborhood. i had my kids get down on the floor of the car, and lock their doors! I was terrified just driving through! I can't imagine how you feel living there! Is there any way possible of moving to a suburb of Philly, or just into a safer district?

To all MENA filers here......if you are as upset and discouraged as I am....about the slow moving of NVC.....call and speak with a supervisor. I just got off the phone with a supervisor. They are much more kind, and helpful. She told me exactly what to do, which I did just 2 minutes ago. There might be something stupid holding up your case, that the operators don't know about, and the only way to find out is from a supervisor! Good luck to all! ( I was even crying on the phone - feel like a dork, but when you wake up every day not knowing if your spouse is alive, because people are being slaughtered in his country every day.....you can't help but cry! And yes, I said those exact words to the supervisor too!)
i mean, to all filers.....

I completely agree! Those levels are low. As far as the planned pregnancy.....I do agree...although I had my first child young and unmarried. But now, with this 2nd marriage, we took precautions so I would not be pregnant! And we agreed not to even attempt a child until he has a job, and we are definitely stable.
Common sense....is not all that common.

I got a guy this time, and he had no problem giving me the iin! Woo Hoo! Every little bit we progress makes me so happy! Now to find the link for the invoice page, and bookmark it!

ok, I was laughing when I read your replies. Born and raised here in New Jersey, I see many things that we americans do take for granted. Its just our way of life, and we don't really understand that we do have many extras. Myself, I never really found americans to be overly friendly, especially to strangers. I never was. Until I met my husband. I stayed away from foreigners, especially those from the middle east. But now, I do find myself seeking them out, and welcoming them to the USA.
There is one thing I favor about other countries.....the pace of life. America is all about "instant gratification". We want it now. I like the more relaxed countries.....I could never tell my boss...I'll come to work when I get there.....ha ha ha
I am glad you all found things to like about America....and keep the replies coming, I get a chuckle out of some of them! oh, and WELCOME!

Yes, I got my NOA2 on March 9. I called NVC today, and still no case number! grrr....however, everyone I have talked to....male and female....have all been super nice to me. So, I will wait until Thursday, and call again. It will happen when it is supposed to....have patience and faith!

My husband lives in Lattakia, Syria. It seems ok where he is. All of his family is in the same town. I have requested expedites based on the tragedy, but was denied. He can't and won't talk about anything going on there, but I know he is safe. I was there in September, and Lattakia is safe.
