Have a good time Jen ... I was thinking the same thing, our file is on another pile.

I'm holding up as good as I can ... though it's hard again to be positive and be a sunshine all of the time. I want to scream ... maybe I should use Melannie's smilie to express how I am doing right now, lol!

Have a lovely day fellow-filers!

Hey Kim! Got approved today!!!!!!!!!! I'm dancing naked right now!

Joe

I just woke up ... good morning all! Have a wonderful weekend ...

That's all for today sweets ...

Hope you're all having a great day!! And congrats on the approval(s)!

Woooow!

Well cause john and I use the same login and he has been flirting with hannah so much I thought I identify myself. Just in case

But yes I look like that now and again.

Way to go Suzy! Happy NOA2 day!! I'm very happy for you.

I don't know who this guy Al Fin is but I hope Luis doesn't find out about him!

- melannie

Woooow!

Tarantula sorry you missed your love's B-day! Hope you made it ok through the day. I know it was kinda rough for me...

How is everybody doing today? It's almost end of Thursday by my time and still only one approval . And Igor's has been weird too, looks like we are getting more and more timelines added daily, cause instead of going up with approvals we are going down.

I'm doing ok today, but the postal service is driving me nuts. Greg sent me a package with all of our stuff last week, and I still haven't got it ... It was a big pack so maybe it just takes longer than an ordinary postcard.

Hope your day is fine!

Oh Sandra I’m sorry that you can’t be there to celebrate with him…. But next year sweetheart!

My nephew is still at the hospital but we are praying for him to get better soon, because we miss having him next to us! Thanks for asking!

Happy birthday Greg

I just passed the wishes ... he went 'yeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy!!!'

I really hope your nephew is going to be well soon ... *sends tons of healing vibes*

So Greg is in the band? How cool is that... what type of music do they play?[/color][/font]

Currently he's not 'active in' the band, but he used to be in a couple of bands in the past. He manages his best friends' Pink Floyd tribute ... They're actually very cool and pretty good.

Morning Sara

I’m so sorry that you not going to be with Greg on he’s birthday!!!

Thanks sweet one ... It's today it's his birthday, I kinda promised him a NOA2 for today ... We'll see ... lol

How's the little one?

Best wishes for fast approvals for May folks!

We just moved one place! Thanks to Suzy & Luis over at April who finally got approved!

We too ... I was getting worried to be glued there on the 61st spot ... 60 is better ...

Have a nice day May-filers!!

Hi May-filers, hope you guys are doing good this evening, or whatever time of the day it is where you're at ...

Ana ... I know the feeling. I'm already bumming myself. It's Greg's birthday next week. I had plans to visit him, but let it go because of not knowing how this freaking process would develop. So he'll have to be satified with a cake on a postcard instead of me making one for him ...

Gordon ... I hear you. Would you mind if I come roll in the poo with you if we get there before Turkey Day?

I don't even want to get started on the hopes I had of when to get home to Greg. Urgh.

Alex ... I'm doing fine. Though Greg's band is playing a gig tonight, so I'm here ... skypeless lol. Btw glad to hear about the little one!!

I just noticed we're 63 on Igor's list. But that doesn't mean anything ...

congratulations!!! B)

Gordon, glad to hear that!

Greg was away last night, they had a clambake dealie at work, so I was keeping myself occupied since we only briefly talked on Skype ... Yes it is therapeutic in a way, Ana lol.

I had my blood tested recently, and got that (can't remember the exact name) flu-shot, tetanus and the first of two hepatitis shots ... I don't need gardasil, since I'm 32. My doc told me I could get it too, but I think I had enough shots for a while. That tetanus-renewal did hurt for 5 days ...

Besides that I've collected the certificates, photographs and all of the other stuff. I also had my diploma's translated. I'm not so happy with the translations, but it was done by an honoured translator, so I guess it's alright.

This weekend I'm going to go through stuff-to-take-with-me and make an estimation of the volume, and have a price made to ship it. I am still going to workout 2-3 times a week, just to keep myself busy.

I'm wicked tired btw ... think I need to catch some early zzzzzzzz's tonight!

I know my file folder has about 15 pieces of ties-to-Canada evidence!

....

Thank you all for the kind words yesterday, and I again apoligize for my negitivity Hopefully we will start hearing good things soon!

What do you consider pieces of ties ... I only come to one; my job or maybe two, if a bankaccount counts ... I live (officially) with my parents, have no properties or anything here.

Jen ... it seems like the waiting is wearing most of us out right now ... no appologies for your rant!

And you're right: "Vermont! It's time to start driving in a few higher gears ..."

Have a great week VJ-ers!

I have about 10 ties. Pity there in the wardrobe.

How are you doing? And Lara? Is she still on the better hand?

My fiancé received packet 3 and no medical instructions and I e-mail the lady from the consular in Montevideo – Uruguay on Monday. Still no response ….

...

Love

Sandra

Good luck!

They have 6 months to approve a case. In two or three days the official 'processing times' list will change and there'll be a date around the 15th of February. But luckily for most of us it goes quicker than that.

Oh that really sucks Jeroen ... good luck and ... kop op eh man!!

Oh yea, we're a lot like the people of Belgium up here! You'll fit right in!

Sorry, had to write people of Belgium because I'm having a senior moment and can't for the life of me recall what the people of Belgium are called.Then suddenly I remembered a waffle I once ate! Oh yeah! When you come over can you bring waffles?

Suuuuure I'll bring the waffles ... they're Brussels Waffles actually. Just like French Fries, they're actually Belgian Fries ... Brussels Sprouts is correct though, so is Belgian Endives.

You were almost there when you had your senior moment. We, people of Belgium are called like the waffles ... Belgians Greg calls me a Spicy Waffle though ... but that's a whole different story

Good to see people updating their timelines ... so people like Joe and myself don't have to go through the list over and over to see when members had their last login ... Keep em rollin' VSC. We're waiting!

Again ... congrats to all new approved members!!

Here is the rundown on Igor's list going into the week of August 11...

(at least up to my spot at 65, sorry to be so selfish)

#2 repeat, subtract 1

#5 approved already, subtract 2

#22 very sad...pregnant, broke up, she is withdrawing petition ,subtract 3

#28 didn't indicate service center in profile, is posting in CSC forum, I think it's a CSC case, subtract 4

#42 duplicate, subtract 5

#44 "Russ & Kim", pornography related delays

#48 Gaura & Nitai, already approved, subtract 6

#50 Suzy & Luis, VSC awaiting nude photos of Peruvian supermodel "Luis"

#56 Want to know what slows things down? Professional petitioners maybe? This person wonders if he'll have any trouble...applied for K1 in 2006, approved but he was unhappy with product on delivery and returned to sender. Applied for same person Jan 2007 had interview appt in June, canceled 2 weeks before interview because he had decided to "date" someone else Apparently the product quality had not improved in the intervening 6 months! Now applying for her a third time! My my, what will happen this time?! Anyone else who has been through this situation please run over and tell him what to expect!

Did someone say something about dysfunction? Of course, you can see this is a new paragraph so the question has nothing to do with anything written above!

This cracked me up ... that's why you've been obsessively checking off everyone on the Igor-list? lol *cheeks turn red, I've done the same thing and constated that there are probably 15/20 petitioners who lacked updating *

Must be us upstate NYers who need something to obsess about!

Congrats to all the approved VJ-ers ... and a superspeedy approval to all the rest of us!

I know Alexandra, I didn't want to come across desperate or hysterical ... just keeping yourself busy, enjoying family and friends that's the way to go. I'm looking forward to the future and keep smiling doing that ...

I know the feeling dairy ... I wonder, does going to the fitness have something to do with the visa-procedure? I started going a while ago too, lol ... Sweat the frustration of the waiting off.

I haven't looked at the USCIS-page in ages, so maybe they picked up our file and put it back on the pile ... who knows? I should stop looking on Igor's list too, I'm driving myself insane here doing that.

Sorry to hear Alexandra and Gordon ...

I'll just keep sending good vibes to all of us filers ... Have a great weekend!
