Filing in March

[Ana&Jeff 0]

This is weird guys. I clicked on your timelines and I noticed that there is a date range instead of one date. Something new? Well Dutti's said June 11-18 and I thought that's freakin' Wednesday. She's going to faint just to see those dates. And Ana, yours said June 13-20 and I thought WOW, I said Friday the 13th. I wrote them down because I was going to comment. Then I went back to somebody's and it had all changed. In one minute it moved forward a week. So crazy. I guess the timeline guru has programmed a date range now. Kinda fun.

Thanks for dropping in Dutti. And where are Darren and Chrissy? They are those Cambridge people who are beating the socks off us in the Oxford/Cambridge race for the visa. (That's an England inside joke. A big annual boat race rivalry.) We wil concede now, because they have an interview and we asked for one after mid July.

This is weird....yesterday my timeline said July 3 and today it says June 17 to 23

Wow 17th THAT'S NEXT WEEK!!!!

George I think those computer are a little crazy maybe they change always when someone get a NOA2 and post here ( I am guessing)

wow yeah looks like they have made it a week range rather than a specific date

Have a safe trip tomorrow lovely. You've been trained by the best in the world and we are super proud of you! teehee.

I have just put on my wedding dress for the first time and didn't feel beautiful at all ... I felt fat and ugly and I wanted to cry. I knew this would happen. The dress is huge! I'm only 5ft (if that) so I always knew it was going to be a bit long but I mean it is seriously LONG I need to chop off so much i could make a mini dress. The hoop cuts into my waist and it makes a fold on the dress so it just looks like its all too small ... or I'm too big. Ahh and I tried it on with my parents present and they were obviously only ever going to say that I looked lovely which just made me even more mad. I need to lose another 20lbs at least! Ahhh I'm so disappointed.

Well rant over. I took some pictures with the hope that I could show you guys but I hate them and would rather show cut the dress up than have anyone see me in it again at the moment. I'm getting my butt down the gym tomorrow.

Ok seriously ... rant over ...

I hope everyone is doing well, I can feel some approvals coming tomorrow :idea:

Lots of Love xxx

Bex don´t be sad!!!!!!!!!!!! is just like that the first try, it is going to look better after they start cutting and puting pieces on the right place and make it fit better.

HEre in Brazil we have tradition about 15 year birthday... on mine my parents did a huge party spent so much money that is probably why I don´t want to have a huge wedding party...anyway I had to wear those hugeeeeeeeee dresses and yes they make you feel fat as thin as you are...

but on the last week I made the woman make some adjustments, more than what it was supose to have hahahah my mom only saw that later it got to look better but still

I felt like a the cake of the party....

Huge dresses NEVER AGAIN! hahaha

Good luck at the Gym!!!

I am doing pilates ( love this) and is helping to make my body more flexible but it doesn´t make me spend that much calories so tomorrow Iam going to start swimming and when JEff get here we are going to do Squash, let´s see how is it going to work on this crazy hot weather hahaha

Hi everybody. Guess you've all gone to bed but jmmr Maria by this time. Oh and Ana. Speaking of where we all are, I have added a couple more names to the map--Pandora and Dutti. It's getting crowded in some spots so you'll have to drag and zoom it in. Pandora's dude is covering up Alan. You guys can visit each other. And don't forget to drag over to Thailand. Kinda fun. Looks like Alina is in the mountains when looking at the satellite view.

I've been busy planting more flowers. I went to buy a few to fill in the ones that died because they can't take the heat and sun any more. I ended up buying some sun lovers, and new ones for the back, and fertilizer, etc. I worked to get all that out because I just knew it was about to rain. There were dark black clouds, and rumbly thunder, and lighting to the north, and I did a rain dance......and it didn't rain. So now I'm having to use the sprinkler to water all that stuff in. I think it's been 32 days since the last rain. It's a bit unusual.

Timelines: Capt. Ewok said he did a new algorithm and 65% of the people should be approved by their first listed date and 85% by the second date. And said there all always exceptions and it was weighted towards being a little longer than it likely will be.

Hope your move goes well Alina. Won't be long until all of you will be making the BIG move. Ana, you must be talking about your Quinceañera. Those are popular here too in Mexican-American families. Those are huge affairs.

Bex, honey bunny, sorry the wedding dress adventure left you blue. Those dresses almost always have to be altered. Maybe you need to ditch the hoop being you're so tiny. My daugher had something that looked like this http://www.knotthegroom.com/images/product.../MMS-2412-3.jpg with this kind of waist. http://www.knotthegroom.com/images/product...inchwaist-2.jpg Very smooth and flattering. You don't want the dress to look like it's wearing you. (Oh there I go being Mother Goose again, but I do have experience shopping at 12 different bridal shops in Houston times two weddings. I know my stuff. hahahaha)

I made this bouquet for her wedding portrait for less than $10 from Walmart roses and some stuff I cut out of hedges at a Walgreen's drug store parking lot.

Yep, I do weddings.

Well that's it for now. VIBES~~~~~~~~~~ to the USCIS for those waiting.

Hi, I've been a lurker of this thread...

Nich-Nick... I must have missed a couple posts, but what is this map you speak of?

We're also March filers... the waiting is tough,.... glad am able to share with this forum tho.

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Nich-Nick... I must have missed a couple posts, but what is this map you speak of?

It's not a Visa Journey thing. It's just a personal webpage that hasn't been posted publicly.

Glad you dropped in. The waiting is tough, especially for those who filed in California since many of us who filed in March at Vermont are getting approvals already. But I guess it gives you hope of things to look forward to and how to get ready for the next step. Good luck on having the patience to wait it out. None of us have been that great with patience, but at least you can share the pain with people who understand what you're going through.

I read in the April thread that some people felt harassed by friends and co-workers, who doubted them and made their wait even more difficult. They would keep asking "are you sure he's going to marry you? Why hasn't he already done so?" They didn't understand how long the process takes. I hope all of you who are benefiaries haven't had too much trouble with other people making you feel bad.

Packet 3 received and returned and the checklist returned to embassy June 11. Sent all kinds of paper to my sweetheart for the interview. Now just waiting the interview and medical date in KL.

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Wow. Good for you...moving right along.

How did you get an approval from California in only 40 days with RFEs even? Are you pulling our leg with your timeline?

[KimandRuss 0]

Glad to hear things are moving along for you Mark.

Not to step on any toes but just in case he didnt come back I thought i'd just let you know that he filed for an expedite because of a serious medical condition.

It's of great comfort to me to know that the uscis does the right thing sometimes.
