  1. ROC sent! bit later than I wanted, fun with procrastinating as was *focusing on being pregnant with twins (*read.. sick and barely functioning!).

      Congrats on your twins! Just got my approval so yours is probably around the corner :)

  2. So we just booked a trip to Florida today for Mid April. Hoping you will make it out there by then too!!

      Well I hope so but who knows.. they are so damn slow its depressing. Trying to stay positive at this point. I am doing the fine tuning so I am ready to go as soon as I get the go ahead with nothing to slow me down. Very stressful and seems there is no chance of TSC speeding up but at least the medical and interview are quick here. Sounds like you guys are doing well :)

      Thats what I figure, when it gets to NZ, its fast, doesn't feel like it at the time, but it is! So that part could be all said and done in 4 weeks. At least they are starting on July. I'm still in shock you have your NOA1 :) eesh, weekends suck pretty bad when you are waiting. I know you are probably well up to speed, but if you need anything, let me know.

  3. Stalking you.

      I saw your message earlier and now can't find it to reply to.... don't know what I did there...

      Anyway, yes, I'm still here and hopefully we will get some news soon. Ho hum... I hope they get it right this time and actually I'm too scared to think too much about it. They have slowed right down again and we are at 5 mths.. just over... so something should be happening. My life has basically come to a standstill. Kevin just can't wait for the day. I have been d...

      I do drop in occasionally to check on you and see how July/august filers are going. As long as your papers are in order, you should be fine, and I hope you get a very sympathetic adjudicator, who sees the huge screw up they made. I can't believe it's been over 2 years since I saw you in Auckland, its been such a whirlwind! For us anyway. I look forward to the day that you finally get on that plane!

  4. I just saw your timeline on a post.. crazy! you still don't have AOS approved yet! eesh! I hope things move along for you soon.

  5. HI again, just checking in to see if there is any movement. Though actually getting an NOA1, is probably a step ahead of the rest of the applications. so not much changed that the 2 service centers are on different timelines huh. will they ever get it right? will check back again soon.

      Hi there... yes.. well its a slow trip as always but I'm hoping for December and of course it could be a lot longer as we all know. So long as it's a 'Yes' and really soon.. and I'll be happy. Told myself I wasn't going to check the status but have already..haha and keeping an eye on Igor's list just to get some idea of the pace... How are you guys doing?

  6. I'm late to your party! and Congratulations your little one must have arrived!

  7. Hi! just dropping in for the first time in months and months and months. reminiscing on those torturous months we waited! Hope everything is well!

      Hi! I just started poking around here again. ROC is not that far off (need to file the first week of Jan). Ugh, one last time through this dance. Things are great! Jordan will be home in 8 days from his last off shore assignment and will be home for awhile. His next contract is out of Long Beach where we live....yay! So, I'm still playing the waiting game, but much easier knowing he'll be home for sure. Hope all is well with you!

    2. sk8rpatty

      sk8rpatty

      Ah #######, clicked the wrong spot and deleted your comment. I did read it first...lol Glad to hear things are good for you! Be sure to let me know if you end up near So Cal! It would be great if we could meet up somewhere. Jordan will be home in 48 hours...but who's counting? haha

  8. Andie! I just logged in to see how things were with you and saw your update! how exciting!! holding my breath for this one!

    1. Andie

      Andie

      hahaha... not much gets past you does it? Yes I kind of sneaked that in.. very very nervous. Right at the very end of July.. It has been received but that's all. We should get the NOA1 in a few days.. so I guess I'm an "August" really. All sorts of ups and downs.. health, his new job etc. etc. He sent one about 2 mths ago.. got lost in the post and only a ripped envelope came back... So he got straight onto it and did a new one and I immediately sent my replacements over.. H...

      well it was quite a coincidence actually, I must have had a sense about it, after the last email I sent you, I just felt you were a bit sad, so didn't want to bother you too much. If I imagined the distance I felt back then, and then intensify it ten-fold, then I might be close to how things feel for you. so I'll pop in from time to time to check on your progress! I'm very excited for you!

  9. Hi.. Just checking in on you, hope you are well.

  10. Green card in hand.. Ahh time to chill for a few years :)

      Congrats!!!! I just got the text that his status has been updated!! AOS card in production! A lot faster than I had orginally thought it would be :) I was thinking it wasn't going to be til December!

  12. Thanks, I need to review all our stuff, I've had it ready so long, I can't remember what's in my folder! I'm looking forward to being done for a few years! And congrats on making it through!

      Kassil&Tierce

      Yeah, we're now just waiting on he actual physical card. It'll be so nice to just be _done_ for a couple years...

    2. SweetDelish

      SweetDelish

      Yep, the card and then drivers license and a job and the knowledge I can leave the country and get back in again! Yeah, mines been a big old mess!

    3. Kassil&Tierce

      Kassil&Tierce

      We've got an ID card coming in the mail for her - the work card and SSN were enough for us to be able to apply for one for her - but it'll be so nice that the only thing I've got to worry about for a while is teaching her to drive.

  13. Hooray! Interview notice received, set for Sept 12!

      Good luck! We were approved just this Monday, and the 'Welcome To America' letter came yesterday! Good to see we're going through together.

      Yay! Finally! Good luck!

  14. File is lingering in Honolulu despite following all instructions to get it moved. Infopass in Memphis to get it moved, waiting, waiting, waiting...

  15. Hi, I see you are at Fort Campbell or moving here? I just saw your message in the military section and I think you should look into it more, I think you might be able to get an expedite, I'm not entirely sure though, depends where the OCONUS base is??

  16. Hi Patty.. just checking in, i see that you have completed AOS! Congrats! now you can relax, 'see' you in 2 years!

  17. Yay!! So happy for you!

  18. I never bothered with the status, I don't think mine changed! I just remember getting the email to say it had been sent, and it arrived the next day - I lived in Sydney metro though. it took 10 days for mine, longer than most. they didn't respond to my email asking when I could expect it, until AFTER I had received it. hopefully you get your email today. fingers crossed.

  19. passports arrived yet? what day do you fly??

  20. HI Brock, hope you are had a wonderful Christmas with your fiance! I look forward to hearing an update from you soon!

  21. Hi! how are things going? you must be in Canada at the moment?

  22. Married now for 13 days, met the entire family and now back to reality and AOS!

      thanks! Haha, I'm much less enthusiastic about AOS, but it must be done!! first step - SSN - leaving the house in half an hour to head to the office.

    3. kitkat1985

      kitkat1985

      LOL how fun! I'm going to take my fiance after we get married to get his SSN, that way i can change my name while i'm at it!! lol but still over 2 months away! :)

    4. SweetDelish

      SweetDelish

      well it was easy, and I wish I had been able to change my name at the same time, so that was done, marriage cert is ordered. as soon as we get it, there is going to be alot of activity with military stuff and AOS. but at least now you can just relax and wait out the interview date, have you all requested that if an earlier interview date comes up you'll take it? I did, it was only a week earlier, but still, I was grateful for it.

  23. Congrats on your approval!!
