  1. Well everybody----I took the big chance and called again today----The lady was pretty nice. she said my case was assigned on october 15!!!! But the officer still is reviewing it!!!! I have had no touches, no nothing, I'm about to lose it-----sorry to say -----the FORMER patient one, Alane & Ramzis (F)(F)

    Hang in there, Alane....you are the inspiration for our group...don't give up now...we're all counting on you for strength...it's going to happen soon for you and for all of us....

  2. We've been touched everyday lately too except for Sunday (oct 28th).. not sure if it is good or bad! nervous!

    Hey, Tim:

    When do you think you'll get your noa2?

    Well my guess was monday so who knows. I think they are having too much fun touching mine Or maybe they are using it as A place mat. I have gotten a touch every day since friday. Except saturday. That makes 6 now.

    I pray it is our time soon.

    hmmmm.......we have not had a single touch......In fact, I'm thinking about touching myself just so I know what it feels like......

    :lol::lol: that is too funny :lol::lol:

    I don't think touches mean much. Lots of people don't get any.

    Well, I've heard of women who won't touch their husbands

    and I've heard of men who won't touch their wives;

    I've heard of women who won't touch other men's husbands

    and I've heard of men who won't touch other men's wives,

    but I wonder what it means when one's government won't

    even touch you?

  4. Other item: An immigration attorney to whom I'd spoken recommended that I send in the I-134 (or whatever the "financial support" package is) along with the original I-129F. I did this. Two questions: [1] Could this be slowing down the processing of my I-129F? [2] Will I have to resubmit a fresh I-134 package during the next step of the paperwork process, or can I simply send a notarized affidavit to say that the finances are materially the same as they were in May?

    I don't know for sure so sorry in advance for answering. I also sent mine with the I-134 and mine seems to be taking longer too. I have gotten touched Every day since Friday and suspect it is the affidavit of support slowing things down. My roommate that submitted his at the same time I did was approved on the 18th and the only difference between our petitions is I sent mine with the I-134 and he didn't. After I had already sent my packet I read on VJ that it isn't recommended to submit it this early in the process.

    Thanks, Tim, and thanks to the others who have replied. If it's true that the I-134 slows things down, there are two lessons: [1] Avoid sending unnecessary material that will confuse morons, and [2] 99% of all attorneys give the rest of them a bad name!

    Hahahaha Isn't that the trouth. My ex-wife's attorney comes to mind.

    Hey, Tim:

    Thanks Tim...you just proved that the case# has no relavance to approval time. I hope they send many approvals out next week!!! Good Luck to us all!!!! :)

    Haha mine is wac0717..... :P I do think that they will send out many approvals this week! It would be an exciting week for me lol..

    And I think you will get yours so soon! Just be optimistic! :yes:

    Ben & Yuki, is it possible? hahaha our WAC goes right after yours, ours is 0718.

    Well there we go!

    Yes, I think it is possible! Our day is coming soon! :yes:

    Just keep updating timelines everyone! :dance:

    This all seems like good news. Ben & Yuki, our # is 0719

    Which means you are right after us since we are 0718 :yes:

    Uh, I hope that's what it means.

    Good luck.

    Maybe we should all meet @ the service center, line up in order and do the conga dance. I doubt anyone's done that before. That might make them laugh and process ours just to keep in the spirit of things. Nahhh.....they would probably shred our files to see what we came up with next.

  8. Scott, re your comments about staying positive:

    You are exactly correct. I read an earlier post where some guy was trying to get something going about writing letters to Lou Dobbs and Oprah. He said he was happy he could be an example to others. A letter to Lou Dobbs? to Oprah? When I stopped laughing, I realized the dude was serious about himself (or herself, whichever it was).

    The point is this is a process we have to go through to get to something that is important to us. I believe that my government is doing what it can to protect our citizens, in a manner it thinks correct. I'm not smart enough to suggest public policy, but I think it should be based on something more than selfish interest. Quite frankly, I doubt that the civil servants who carry out policy foresaw the coming of recent problems. It appears that they handled those problems as best they could, given the resources available to them. And I, for one, am not interested in pouring more money down the government drain to merely shorten the process, if it is in fact working efficiently. I doubt anyone here has the knowledge to intelligently comment on the efficiency of this process and I suspect if they do they are probably sympathetic with those workers who are on the wrong end of someone's anonymous wrath.

    Calling somone names (retard, etc.) simply because he/she works for the government is baseless, tasteless and spineless. I feel bad for those workers who have no choice but to sit and to listen to the braaing (I think I spelled that correctly) of sheep with their incessant complaints about which the employees can do nothing. The guy comes in in the morning, punches the clock, does the best job he can while he's at work and goes home at the end of the day (just like most of us here). Making derrogatory comments about our government is safe in a venue that provides anonymity. Saying it in a public place may be a bit more hazardous to one's health. (Not from the government, but from someone who takes offense about such comments.) Constructive advice and suggestions will always be useful, but ignorant criticism yields no benefit.

    Scott, yours is the logical approach. This is one part of a journey. Our view is similar to yours. We do what is in our power to speed up the process and we are optimistic about the outcome. We, too, choose to be patient but attentive to what is happening. We eagerly look forward to the day Maria comes home. When this process is over and she is finally here, we will have lifelong memories (fond ones) about all we went through to get her here. And we will have learned about ourselves and each other in the process.

    We're getting close; very close, and it gets more exciting every day. Originally we had hoped she would be home for Christmas, then New Year's. Now it looks like we're going to have the best Valentine's Day ever. And if it's later still, we'll still find something positive about it, whenever it is.

    Good luck to you, Scott, and to all of us.

  9. Thank you, Captain Ewok....it's working fine now.

    By the way, I would guess that you hear this regularly from others, but I'd like you to know how much Maria and I appreciate this site. The amount of information you have provided us during our process has been invaluable.

    We are grateful for what you do for us and other couples in our situation. It facilitates our understanding of the entire immigration process, and it assists us in making plans for Maria's eventual trip home.

    We continue to turn to the visajourney site for accurate, useful and dependable information necessary for our journey.

    Thanks again to you and the entire vj team.

  10. I could use some advice regarding a technical problem I am experiencing:

    When I go to the Philippines portal, the contents of those pages do not fit onto my 19 inch monitor. This causes me to have to use the bar at the bottom of the screen to view the entire contents of the page by moving the bar from right to left. This happens only when I go to the Philippines portal page and it just started happening on those pages this past week. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or is this a website problem?

    It is not a big deal, I am just curious if I am doing something wrong or is it something else.

    Thanks.
