January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

The world is a wonderful - and beautiful! - place.

Jetskiing sounds like great fun, Jeroen - I'd definitely be doing that! Aah, I've never seen a bad photo of Hawaii. I'll definitely have to visit one day.

Oh - and it's my and Alex's two year anniversary today!

I may not be online tomorrow, so I'm going to say it now... Happy Anniversary to you both!!!

Cecile I'm in Missouri and we don't have the ocean but we do have lots of lakes with beaches that you might enjoy You should definitely check out southern Missouri in the ozarks sometime.... Very beautiful there and lots of beach/lakes in that area and only a few hours from where you'll be. Its a nice inexpensive get away.

Ok OK OKKKK nope no NOA2 yet BUT my impatience got the better of me and I tried the little "Shake your NOA2 loose" thing posted here haha...

Got a super nice lady who was checking into my case etc...and then we got disconnected!!!! Well called back did same thing and luckily got her AGAIN! Well we laughed a bit and then I expressed my concerns etc..told her of the email stating about security checks etc...well she said that is something they send out to people all worried that are still within their first 180 days!!!! Soooo anyway we talked a bit more and I mentioned how I knew people that were approved already that filed in February...well her answer to that was just as I suspected that the cases get divided up and basically some are faster workers than others!!!!!!! ARGHHHH. So I said "Well I think I got the one on vacation then and anyway I can be moved to a faster persons desk" She started cracking up at that one so here's hoping she does something for me! SIGH

So yeah I officially hit my 180 days next week so we shall see what happens....she said most likely I will see approval within 60 days ughh hopefully before that but shoot that is better than another 180 days plus like we were starting to think!!!

Thank you all for continued support and keep those prayers and positive thoughts coming for our NOA2 to arrive!!!

What a relief! I am happy to hear that it won't take 180 more days. you must feel a lot better now!

[sunnybear 0]

Heck yeah it does bring some relief for sure! Let's just hope my person truly isn't on some long extended vacation and it is actually processed SOON. She said that the good news is that we are being processed already as it has been looked at and sent in for the usual security checks etc...so fingers crossed they get that back ASAP and then the adjuicator gets to work!

Sadly it is hardly sunny enough... When I went there last year in August, it was quite cold. At that time, my brother had surf classes and at the end of the class his fingers were almost blue. I hope this will be better this year! I actually never went north, well, not higher than Paris anyway.

I would have liked to travel in Europe before I leave, but I never took the time to plan anything and I'm happy I saved my money. There are so many wonderful countrysides in Europe that I have never seen! But I am sure there will be many different countrysides in the USA too, just different ones

Haha yeah, when you think about it, the world is small and yet oh so big.. oh well, I like to travel so I'm sure I will be seeing some more of Europe later on

I am happy that the security check is just a standard reply... do hope the guy who is holding your case would stop sitting on it and find something else to sit on so he could now approve it.

crossing my fingers that you would get the approval before this month ends.

Update:

I called NVC on monday & they didn't receive our petition yet...she told me to wait until today, so I thought "yeah right, lets see you give me same answer again..."...I called today & they received AND already sent it off! Now it feels like we have to act quick, about when the embassy receives it, so I can inform them of his new mailing address! Ahhh! Probably by the time I call them...they will probably already have sent the packet 3. blah.

P.S. It's starting to feel surreal. As if this progress is going to fly right by & I am going to be running around like a beheaded chicken.

Great beach pictures, by the way! I'm originally from Puerto Rico, and now I live ALLL the way in Washington State. I miss the beaches from Puerto Rico. The "beaches" here are NOTHING compared.

Good luck to all of you
