Oh my.
 
I guess its just the way we are. This was a convo a couple weeks ago in the morning:
 
him - good morning beautiful
me - good morning darling
him - did you sleep well?
me - I did darling. How about you?
him - I did  Had dreams of us living our life together.
me - awww those are great dreams
him - they are

lol if I did that, Scott would assume I'm drunk lol

Ha I suppose not. My Chris is very romantic. Course I am bad and send him a naughty text while I know he is about to go to a work meeting. He will text me back after and say damn woman I had to find me a binder. HAHAHAHA its our running joke.

Yeah... that's just the way we are.
He just got up for work and I texted him a) I love the way we are, and b) we're screwed AND IT'S ALL HIS FAULT lol

We are used to be apart, we are used to be happy together... too  much sugarcoating would make it unbearable for me.
Plus, not being so "overly missing" will make it easier to deal with his job. Army is no fun for being a spouse. He has 12 hours workdays, he will be gone on trainings, or even deployments... 
Sweet talking all day would drive me nuts. 
So we goof over the time and then hug and be united forever... or at least until the army makes him go somewhere.  

I couldn't agree more!

That's who will have no problem using screenshots to prove an ongoing relationship! 

What do they say - Absence makes the heart grow fonder? I think goofiness makes the absence easier to tolerate

I know right??

"Can't it be fall already?"
"Please no! My escape plan isn't finished yet!!!"

We don't have a lot of whiney and cheesy stuff but we have a lot of inside jokes. I am not going to include something like "there is a nail in my head" 

Thank you for sharing @pajobra!!!
I need to train him better, haha!

Nah, seriously. I'm loving THE hyper introvert. He's refusing to express feelings on social media/chat.
I do respect that, and I can deal with it very well, since I'm the least girlish girl ever. 
I had to get used to that first, but now it totally works for me, AND I can read between the lines!

So... since no one in charge for my visa can read between his lines, I will keep it with facetime call logs since January, one screenshot of each FaceTime since last week and some pics together from before.

I hope it will be enough. But, since they actually just want proof of an ongoing relationship, this must be proof enough. 

HA thats awesome.
 
Our convo this morning started off with him saying   him - I miss you   me - I miss you too so very much   him - I know you will be here   me - yes   him - It will be so much better then   me - yes yes it will be   him - what have you been thinking about this morning?   me - About our first meeting in Rapid City.   him - Rapid City was magical   me - it was and you are   him - so our you. Our relationship has continued being magical-better and better   me - oh yes my darling   And from there on it got a bit um yes anyway hahahaha until he had to get up and have a shower and go to work. I am off work today. lol

I see, thank you!

I told Scott, if anyone ever wants our chats.... we're screwed. And it's all his fault lol

Example:

"I can't wait to finally move!"
"Help! Help!"


lol I love my moron! <3

I am screenshotting one or two conversations per month, trying to find something meaningful, like discussing our future plans or important aspects of our relationship (we both were married before, and, as you can guess, not happily, so we learned the importance of communication the hard way, and we are trying to do our best). We don't really text a lot because we video chat every day, but still I can find at least something for every month.
If you wish, I can PM you one of my screenshots.

Happy Monday March filers!  We are in the last week of April!! One more week/day/minute closer to being united forever with our loved ones!  This past weekend I went through my messenger conversation from the past couple months with my fiance to pull screen shots to prep for the interview. Woah, I did not realize how much we actually talk!  It took me a lot longer to scroll through than I thought it would.  And just reliving the memories from the conversations was fun and interesting. I saw were I got a little bit over dramatic with the stressors of our K-1 journey and it made me laugh. 

Nope, our case got routed to CSC as well!

According to the official page, the CSC is working on Nov 15th 2016, by end of February. 

End of January they stated middle October. 

So if it goes on like that, it should be:

End of March - December
End of April - January
End of May - February
End of June - Our time has come! 


IF it keeps going steadily like that!
I wish they'd update more often... they updated to "end of February" on April 18th.. *yawn*



 
I WANT TO MOOOHOOOOOVE!!!

Hah, indeed!
 
What I noticed the other day, looking at the raw data for January someone posted in their thread, is they are quite steadily working on that month. Even when people always left behind (in that month as well as December or November), the 21th of April there were a majority of cases touched up to the 19th of January... So my math says still 3 months roughly  

Agree, but sometimes I think it might have to do with people not updating their timelines too. Specially since that feature wasn't working for everyone a week ago.
 
Anyway, I find more peace of mind in checking the scans for previous months filers than the average timeline... Even when one can always be the one left out. So nothing written in stone 

I was wondering about that as well. Because I just took screenshots, and it's like 10 shots since February 2nd.

So although not many people are calling me (for gods sake!!), it's still plenty.

But I'm a data messie... I hate deleting ... things ... haha

But since it's only April it might be better do delete the "invaders" to not make the poor officer hate me ^^
 

Yay, Im glad I could help 😀.  When I used a screen shot to submit with the I129f, I cleaned up my history by deleting every call except the ones from Kris so it was more readable.  I also had him do the same and he sent me his screenshots so it showed the complete history. 

I don't know what's exactly the issue, but you can contact USCIS if there are any mistakes for the names, dates of birth etc. USCIS has a e-Request portal here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do

My fiance and I were talking about this last night because I think I will likely get this second job I applied for meaning I can't travel to see him and he is saving up time to come get me when I have the visa. Gosh I hope we get it before winter sets in because driving across the dakotas in winter is not fun! Been there done that! LOL Well our chats go from regular to I miss you to naughty pretty quick. We plan on putting in our skype logs of calls again. Screenshots of the vid chat oh I like that idea gonna borrow it. lol Chris and I vid chat every evening. But I suppose thats the benefit we get of only being an hour apart timezone wise. lol 

Hey fellow Anonymous Whiners!

Thanks to everybody, who helped me out with my checklist!

For the tax returns: I've asked a girl from my area, who just went through all this, and she said that tax returns are needed for AOS, not for K1. So a little less pressure!
Just to inform you!

Question to those who aren't travelling through the process:
What kind of evidence for the ongoing relationship could we use?
I don't want to use chat logs, because besides some kiss smilies we don't sweet talk AT ALL haha (We're weirdos, we only do that on camera).
We also don't whine around how much we're missing us, or anything. Because it doesn't make it better. And I don't want to sweet talk just to have evidence to screenshot. Neither wants he.

Scott and I have a ritual: Facetime every Sunday. And I decided to make a screenshot of that from now on. So I have one for every week!

I was talking to him about that, and he meant that the fact that we're saving the money and vacation days for our wedding will be enough. Escpecially since he's in the military and it is very hard for him to get leave. He tried to come here RIGHT NOW, but they took forever to decide if he can have leave or not, so it was too late, and he didn't take the leave.
In summer he can't have leave (school installation), and then it's not worth planning anymore because I will come for good, and we'll need his leave for wedding and vacation.

For me; I only have about 15 days left, will need some here, and then want to take the rest to get over there earlier.

I wonder if that might cause irritations later... What do you think?

Oh, and since I saw someone from Salt Lake City:

Greetings!
It's so nice there! My future in laws are in West Point, so we went to visit in October!
Beautiful landscape! <3 

And one more, since you all are talking about it:
My estimated date for NOA2 has moved from June 21st-June 26th to June 22nd-June 28th. But that was a week ago already; since then nothing changed.
I hope I can keep the schedule!

Hah! Just saying my fiancé works in Salt Lake City and lives nearby (he's not originally from Utah). I spent three months there early this year, plus another two months last year, so yes, I can agree it's a nice place... though so cold in winter! Amazing how nice people are there when you do something as simple as going get groceries to the supermarket. Miss that
