Having lived in New England my entire life, I can't imagine a winter without snow! We've had feet on the ground for months now! It's beautiful but this is the time of year it all starts to melt and the mushy grass and empty gardens start showing through. That's not so nice.

I dont think that is going to happen, hardly any approvals coming out now

VSC had 28 approvals last week. ..and that figure is based on just those who actually updated their timlines here at VJ.

Hoping to see LOTS of approvals in the next week too!

We file in 5 weeks and 2 days! I hope you all don't mind me living vicariously through you as we wait.

Hey!

I know exactly what you are going through. We had to wait to file our petition because my divorce wasn't final. The time will go by quicker than you think...and the VSC has sped up so much that the wait won't be too bad!

kitegirl, thanks so much.

We've waited many years ...at least during these last few months we can see a light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm glad the VSC is moving along so quick again. Too bad CSC isn't doing the same.

I know...I feel so badly for them...it's not their fault that their applications are at the slower service center...the whole thing is so unfair...

These applications should be processed in order, and it shouldn't matter what service center does it!!!

hope today´s gonna be a manic monday of approvals!!!

[dbears 1]

No recent approvals yet but there are 2 who got their NOA2 last week but just updated their timelines... there is also a couple who have encountered roadblock and had to move the filing date to march.

Well, CONGRATULATIONS are never late, so here's a SWING OF JOY for: Stephanie&Mauricio who received NOA2 on feb. 29, 2008 and Lisa&Ritesh who recieved NOA2 on mar. 2, 2008.

To Liam& Sam who got RFE, i hope you could share what the RFE was and I pray that you will get NOA2 soonest... I read some people here received approval a few days to a few weeks after submitting what was asked for in the RFE... So your NOA2 is probably on its way

My heart & my prayers goes to wifetobe (nathaniel&theodora)... i hope everything will be ok for them and that there will be no more roadblocks along the way.

For the rest of the January filers still waiting.... I believe we are all winners already when we met the love of our lives... The love that we share with our SO is the greatest price in this visa process and I hope this frustrating waiting game will never take our eyes and our heart from the real price: BEING WITH OUR ONE TRUE LOVE.

Let's continue to hang on and keep the faith... we will all have our approvals soon.

Awww dbears you are too too sweet! The good news was that the RFE was over something minor. I forgot to check a tiny "yes" or "no" box on the I-129F. I couldn't believe it and felt like such moron considering I had gone over all of the documents several times before submitting. Oh well - I'm only human. I signed the paper immediately and sent it next day air. It was received on Saturday (Thank you to the mail room for being open there!) It was very comforting to hear you say that people responding to RFE's get back on track - I was curious and worried about how much this would slow down our process.

I just wish they could have sent me an email or something explaining why all the touches (my case status online never said they were requesting more info). When I got the RFE it all made sense.

Good luck to everyone else too!!!

And here I was sure you were about to get lucky! Well, at least you know they're working on it and now that they've got it back it shouldn't be long now!

[KitEEgirl 0]

I'm sure it won't hold you up too much. If it was something simple, the adjudicator probably wants to close the file out:)

I was convinced we were going to get an RFE and surprisingly didn't. We left several spaces blank on the I-129F...for example, Names of Spouse... He didn't have one, so instead of N/A we just left it blank. I was pleasantly surprised when we got our approval email

See.. now i'm nervous because our file has been 'touched' quite a bit these last few days.. Made me go back through my paperwork to see if anything could be missing. Hope your case gets back on track ASAP now though.

[psiprez 3]

We got touched today!!!

At least SOMEBODY is doing SOMETHING with it, aside from using it as a coaster (I hope!).

I hope this means that approval is on its way. I saw a February filer got an approval today - amazing!!! Good luck everyone, I hope it's a great week for all of you!
