Well hello to the November filer thread - Part 2.
 
It's been a while since I posted glad to see Geo, Art, Vogann, and others are more than holding the fort down.
 
Just loving it here in the Philippines.
Well today is Day 107 since NOA 1.
3 day weekend which means no processing on Mondy
 
Noon here so I ran the USCIS app.
I show only 8 cases left out of over 350
from 10/31 receipt date.
 
 Petition Approved 
 
15 weeks and 2 days for our NOA 2
 
Congrats to all the recent approvals and NVC activity.
 
We already have an appointment for CFO next week which is specific to Philippines.
 
Hang on for others still waiting doubtful you will have to wait 107 days.

Its time and money issue. As much as want her to fly and visit me (since i don't have visit visa to see her) and pay for her flights (which is also not a problem cos I have stable job), we can't just sit & relax while we crack our heads if we will make it or not to meet the poverty guideline. Lucky for those who earns a lot, but for us - her job is the most important thing to take care of right now. Saving up is the best thing to do for now too. I don't wanna be a burden to my fiance when i relocate to the US and be jobless for few months.
 
We'll be together soon! I know it's not just me & you're right, this place is like my therapy haha. We're all in this together.

I have to agree... Circumstances we need to take while the petition is on process. Visits is impractical for us at the moment ($$$$ issues) as we're both working full-time and preparing more for the future than the wedding itself. Can't afford to be broke right now. haha Plus flights from west to east is not affordable.
 
We can do this. 14 months... i have to  applause you for it. We haven't seen each other for 5 months and it has been a roller coaster ride for us to the point that we almost pull out this application. long distance is not my thing. I'd die for another 6 months of waiting im telling you haha.
 
Stay strong!
Val

LOL im the same  Can someone direct us to correct NVC number? haha
 
I have already asked my fiance to ring them last friday but they haven't received it yet. She was on hold for like 20mins :/.. i Believe she rang this (603) 334-0700 but have to confirm.. 
 
Gonna ring again tmr. We're 7th Feb noa2
 
Val
 

I was off the radar.
 
Congrats my dear friend!  
 
SO happy for you!. CHEERS!!!
 
Val

It isn't easy...even just a couple of months and I am losing it. Spend a lot of time skyping too. Usually 2x a day. We're all in the same boat as the long distance waiting game plays out. 

 
 
 

@kurt&eva I am praying I'm not looking at a 7 month wait for NOA2.  I've been praying for record breaking productivity.  I can't even imagine what that's been like for you.  We have to basically wait for Africa to go to bed before our wifi from South Africa is good enough to have more than 5 minutes with each other.  We knew at first sight.  I saw my husband and he saw his wife.  We had 10 months apart before he proposed, and ever since then I have flown to him every month.  We are praying our miracle comes soon.  This teacher is out of personal days and having to take unpaid time off.  He says if anyone asks him to describe Hell, "It's the distance between me and My Love."    

Congrats Jim, you have waited a long time for that

Congratulations!!

Congrats Jim!!

Great!! So happy to hear that you guys finally got approved, that was some waiting.Things are moving from this point on. My case was in NVC for 2 weeks now in Taiwan will be delivered to embassy rather  American Institute in Taiwan, there Monday ( Chinese would be upset if I called it embassy) Hopefully in a month or so she will have her visa. New life on head of us.     

I got NOA2 already!???

Thanks for this geowrian! Maybe im not reading the chart right, but why does it show 59 cases touched and your count says 94? Are the other cases from earlier weeks and dont show in the spread sheet? 
 
Congratulations @JimJesDuma!!! Well deserved! Sorry you had to wait so long, but I second the others in saying that we are all so happy for you and Jess! 

You can do the CFO class, but they won't stamp your passport until you have the visa. Once you get the visa, you can just have them stamp it without doing the course again.

It's about time!!! 
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! We are so happy for you and you're fiance!! Yipee!!
 
Quick question, I thought they do not accept people for CFO if you do not have your visa yet? Just read it somewhere. Anyway, where will she have it? I think there are only 2 places in the Phil who does it. Thank you. 
 
 
Again, Congratulations!! Worth the wait!

Wow! Yey. Congrats ?

Congrats Jim!!!Finally you got it
