Not a happy bunny...just found out our I-130 application is being handled by the Rome office! So who knows when we'll hear something because London has no infomation to provide xx

case number arrived this morning! xx

still no news on where my application is or what the outcome is...

So being sent to Rome slowed us down. It rubs me the wrong way that people who filed in March have approvals AND case numbers but our I-130 was approved June 20th

is hoping our I-130 is approved xx

enjoying few days I have left with my husband. All this immigration stuff is on hold whilst we enjoy being together again xx

Approved!

is trying to stay sane, just wish they would show they were making some progress! xx

Argh! They're moving so slowly!!! xx

should get used to these knots from waiting, they are gonna be around for awhile!

NOA1 we're on the map!

What do you make of the update on the website...10 months for the whole DCF process, surely everyone would be better off filing in the US who are moving faster? xx

Good luck with your application, hoping that the process is swift for us both. No information on your page yet, would love to know a little about you and your husband. Hoping for quick NOA2 xx

Your little boy is just adorable! xx

Oh, well I hope your NOA1 arrives soon. Once you've had the application returned once it's easy to drive yourself crazy thinking something else will go wrong. I've not heard anything, I don't expect to. I sent all the information required and I don't think I'll actually get approval until around May. Things aren't moving very swiftly right now. When does your hubby l...

Don't despair, our application got sent back because of an oversight with his UK residence card. Fixed it and sent it back the next day, notification of acceptance was sent a couple days later. It's easy to get stressed out but really you just want to enjoy the time with your husband and baby before he leaves xx

Hi, Just wondering if you've filed and received your NOA1 yet? xx

is waiting on an interview appointmet...still hoping to leave in October xx

Oh, that would be great if you could. Obviously we all want to be with our partners but with such a young baby it seems cruel for you to have to be separated! xx

I know, I'm really disappointed because going into this I thought it would take 3-6 months for the whole process. Now, I don't think I'll make it out there until November. Of course, I am always hoping that they mean for people filing now it'll take 10months. Like, from April onwards and the rest of us can stick with the old process times. But I doubt it...only time will tell...

If not, you should be! You'll get a lot of great advice there too! xx

Oh, I'm sure you'll get your approval soon. Stay strong and prepare for the next step! xx

Flights are expensive but if you shop around you can sometimes get good deals and of course it depends on what time of the year you fly. It's difficult being apart and I'm so glad we can fit in a visit or two whilst this process is going on. Keep your chin up because you guys are finally going somewhere, we're still waiting on the I-130 approval! xx

Congrats on your marriage, how is all the paper work going? xx

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying married life, that's what its all about. I have my interview tomorrow! xx
