Awful. Want to merge this into our "Illegals" thread?

Thank you for your detailed report. Your reaction (post-traumatic stress) is probably typical for VAWA recipients. Even approved claims? Do you have a reference for your statement? If so, it will be highly valuable to have.

1. Relax. 2. This is the easiest part of the entire process. 3. You'll feel like an eagle soaring through the sky when you're finished. 4. A big part of the great feeling is updating your VJ timeline with this penultimate step. 5. See (1.).

I echo OldUser... and your clarification means that it's great news for you.

Fingers crossed. Let us know.

Thread is moved from the USCIS Service Centers forum to the US Citizenship Case Progress subforum. Unsure about San Antonio. Maybe someone can comment. Really sorry to hear this news, and you're certainly feeling deflated. Have faith that it will happen.

Congratulations!

It might be something ridiculously simple, such as a missing signature or unfilled-in blank. Wait for the letter. If it's a complex issue and you want our help, we'll need to see the precise wording, with all personal identification and case numbers masked.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. landed in Quito Many (one Manyzen) minutes early, si man. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/645478-good-luck-hurricane-harvey/page/9/?tab=comments#comment-8772648

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: Our concept of Sunday is not to leave the casa, conceive we man. On this Sunday, we had to leave the casa Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- times, si man. The first leaving was to retrieve a FedEx that had been sitting at Mama T-B.'s old casa since Manyvember Many'rd -- si man, Manyvember Many'rd -- until someone thought to notify us, and man. Fortunately, the response deadline could still be comfortably met, still no excuse man. On the way from this retrieval, we procured lunch, procure we man. Lunch was from Subway*, ingest we man. *WUOC + gift card, F$WM Someone then came to our casa to buy a Mama T-B. item, Craigslist man. We then watched the first part of the NFL game, boring man. We had asked ex-Mrs.-T-B. to swing by to help us with something quick and to take stuff to Ecu for Mama-ex-Mrs.-T-B., ask we man. Of course, ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "Come at 1 to bring your stuff and retrieve Mini-B., si man. My Uber leaves at 2, si man." This was our second casa-leaving, man. Mini-B. adjourned upstairs with a full bag of lime-flavored cheaps, ingest too many wee man man. We watched the rest of the NFL game, boring till last 2 seconds and happy ending man. Mini-B. then wanted something for din-din, hungry or bored wee man man. He requested, got, and consumed onebowl of chili-no-beans, ingest wee man. Din-din for us was onecan of Italian green beans**, ingest we man. **expired 2 years and bought from supermarket dented-can bin, F$WM Watched a Better Call Saul episode***, watch Two Guys man. ***only Many (2+1) left, sad man During this, Mama T-B. phoned Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- times, call senior she man we man man. Mini-B. then remembered forgetting his protein bars for skool snacks, we knew it man. We wrangled our sole LL and left the casa, Many'rd casa-leaving man. We retrieved skool snacks and fed little orange mini-miu, cute mini-miu man. Mini-miu didn't want to socialize, antisocial mini-miu man. In addition, nobody had left any miu-food for him, man. The upshot of the above is no Sunday siesta for us, no zzz we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Must visit Mama T-B. on Monday, mandatory man. Must service mini-miu once or twice on Monday, service mini-miu we man man. And that was/is our thrilling and zzz-less Sunday, report we man.

We envision that someone needs his medications drastically adjusted, hallucinations man.

Does this mean "no letter about biometrics had arrived" or "a letter arrived, saying that no biometrics are needed"? I perceived the latter, whereas OldUser seems to have perceived the former.

Happy to hear it! What a great feeling!

What a great end (almost) to this long process -- you deserve to feel great. Thanks also for your detailed report, which is of value to many.

Shoe Manufacturers Rush To Design New Nickel Loafers U.S. — With the penny no longer being minted, shoe manufacturers announced that they were working hard to replace the old penny loafer slip-on shoe design with an exciting new nickel loafer. Penny loafers got their name from teenagers in the 1950s who placed pennies in the leather slots stitched across the saddle of the shoes. But with pennies now obsolete, shoe companies were rushing to design the world's first nickel loafer. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/shoe-manufacturers-rush-to-design-new-nickel-loafers

Federal Judge Overturns Solomon's Verdict; Baby To Be Cut In Two JERUSALEM — What had been hailed as one of the wisest decisions of all time was declared null and void today, as a federal judge overturned King Solomon's verdict and ordered a baby from a recent maternity dispute to be cut in two. People throughout Israel had praised the king for his shrewd judgment in the case, in which two women each claimed to be the baby boy's rightful mother. Solomon had wisely suggested that the woman who was more willing to give up her rights to the child than see him come to harm was the baby's true mother, but a federal judge ruled that the decision was not legal under Israel's constitution and that the baby must be chopped in half.

Sunday! Time for our thrilling Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY People call me skeptical, but I'm not sure I believe that. Boss: Why are you late? Me: Why are you so obsessed with me? "I" before "E," except after "Old MacDonald Had a Farm..." I love asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, so I can get ideas. Out of coffee?! That's grounds for divorce. Friend: Want to go on a run? Me: From what? Every time a mullet reaches shoulder length, an angel gets a jean jacket. We really used to print out four pages from MapQuest and travel like pirates. The best things in life are free. The second-best are expensive.

I concluded long ago that the maximum number of pennies that anyone ever needs is 4. Were everyone to cash in their "change" jars, root through their car ashtrays or consoles, and similar, the national penny supply might increase substantially. An obstacle is the disappearance years ago of coin-counting machines in banks. Now, the only such are in supermarkets, and they suck a percentage (17%?) from what's dumped in. Who in his right mind would dump large containers of coins into these machines only to lose money? In addition, many banks refuse to accept rolled coins, assuming that anyone wishes to go to that tedious effort beforehand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Penny's Quiet Exit - a Small Step Toward Fiscal Sanity On Wednesday, in the shadow of Benjamin Franklin's grave, the U.S. Mint struck its final circulating pennies, ending a 232-year tradition born from the Coinage Act of 1792. What began as a sturdy copper disc capable of buying a biscuit or a candle now costs the government 3.69 cents to produce — more than triple its face value. Pennies are currently (until Wednesday) minted at the Denver and Philadelphia Mint facilities for circulation, and the San Francisco Mint produces proof pennies for collectors.

Thrilling Saturday non-GS/ES report, see man: Awoke >1 hour before alarm, and sigh man. Mama T-B. didn't need us, minor miracle man. Miu comparatively undemanding, undemanding miu man.

We were catered to by "the" Chinese waitress, very friendly but not-young and rather plain she man. Her name, per receipt, is "Shirley1," shirley there's a Shirley2 or even a ShirleyMany man. She asked us about an English word on the Fox News channel, ask she we man man. She talked in Spanish to customers at the next table, delighted they man.

Serviced expectant miu upon our casa return, mollified miu man. Considered mow-lawning but wisely chose a siesta instead, zzz we man. Awoke before alarm consequent to shoulder pain, and sigh man. Inspected backyard lawn, inspect we man. It was acceptably short and growing evenly, conclude we man. We therefore mow-lawned front yard only, semi-mow we man. One sweatband was consumed, low humidity and nearing sunset man. Refreshed Mama T-B.'s remaining listings on Craigslist, renew all we man. Within half an hour, someone texted to inquire about an item, probably sell on Sunday man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Mini-B. to be delivered earlier than usual on Sunday, ex-Mrs.-T-B. flying to Ecu man. We can watch the NFL game, watch Two Guys man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Buddy of mine grew up in a very small town in the flatlands of West Texas. He said that, on one particularly windy day, the town chicken laid the same egg 4 times.
