Thank you Johan & Anne !!! I did fill in my timeline!!!!

[Laura+Tom 2]

I haven't heard anything yet. We haven't contacted NVC but I'm probably just going to wait until packet 3 turns up on my doorstep. I am going to delay sending it back anyway as I have a trip to the US in April. Because we are having a few issues we aren't rushing anything.

[winifredbee 1]

WOO HOO! Our begging worked! We just got an email from the embassy with packet 4 attached AND an interview date of April 13th at 8am (if you read my earlier posts they were saying May or June)!!! That means we can hopefully return together on the 19th!!!!! Just thought I'd update you guys!!!!

Wow Chelsea! This is great how did you make this happen so fast? I have been in Managua so I missed a few updates. I did write the Embassy here to introduce myself and they wrote back in 30 mins. A very good sign. They can't do much until they have the packet. Maybe I will do a little calling today just to see. It has only been a few days but I really want Balvino to come back with me on the 30th. It may be possible. I am so happy for you!

While you are waiting for the Approval it feels like us against the world. Once you have progress something changes. Balvino and I feel it. He is away for a few days which I think is a good thing. This is hard and I think it will be harder once we are in the states but we love each other. Good Luck.

Hey everyone ....now it is out turn to dance :dance:

''Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 3, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.''

Thank you guys for your comments and support. I need to figure out now what comes next....maybe to call NVC in couple of days.

As for Ruby_mtl I wanted to say that if he/she follows the pattern ( I mean for the ones that got touched) most of them got their approvals in the mail.

So I think you should check the mail .....Good luck to everyone.!!!!

Congrats imgarn! And I totally agree...Ruby, your's is probably on the way! I got touched a Thursday and Friday and didn't get it in the mail til the following Friday, so you've still got a day or two!

Disculpen, solo quiero saber de parte de Uds. si nos pueden mostrar el favor a nuestro caso en cuanto a la fecha de la entrevista. Porque mi comprometida, o mi fiance, viene del 9 al 19 de abril, y me gustaría poder ir junto con ella a la entrevista durante la fecha que ella estará aca. Si nos dicen de antemano, podemos estar ahi, no importa la hora que Uds. digan, entre el 13 y el 17 de abril, cuando su oficina está abierta. Por favor, queremos tener toda la comprensión de Uds. para nuestro caso para poder ir juntos a la entrevista, porque estos 10 dias son el único tiempo que ella puede estar acá en Guatemala. Tenemos la mayoría de lo que nos van a pedir en la entrevista. Les suplico con todo mi corazón que por favor tengan esto en mente cuando hagan la cita para la entrevista, pero tampoco quiero ser mal educado o grosero en pedirles esto. Solo quiero que me muestren un poco de consideración.

Muchas gracias por su atención a este asunto,

Josue D. C****

It worked! I don't know who made the final decision, because the first email we got that said May or June was in Spanish, but the reply to this one that gave us the date of 4/13 8am and attached packet 4 was in English. Someone who had gone through Guatemala last year said the ones at the front from Guatemala tend to be not as nice as the Americans who actually do the interview lol!

Talk to Yader & Sarah, they got through pretty fast in Managua, right???

Hang in there, you two! The online system is not very reliable so keep checking your snail mail!

It'll change back once you get the packet and the interview date. Then it's "get your tail moving to get these papers done, that medical scheduled, those pictures taken, etc!!"

Anyone had luck with taking their own passport style pictures? I'm thinking about taking them of him once I get down there since we have a couple days before the interview.

I know the feeling.

There are about fifty couples on the list for VSC in OCT 08 and we are still seeing oneses and twoses from AUG and SEP. The real bummer is that we are starting to see more NOV aprovals than OCT.

You're in Texas M&M?

I'm in Houston.

Thanks Davchels for the support it does make a difference SW01 I live in Nottingham England my fiance is the petitioner he lives in Houston...it's rodeo season over there at the minute isnt it??? Makes it harder because we met this time last year. Like you say when you see November being approved and what seems to be the rest of middle/ end of October it makes you feel like they have forgot about us?? The other feeling I have is feeling guilty for moaning about not having my approval when there are people out there that have been waiting far longer than me. I think situations like this can make a couple stronger or tear them apart... it's definately a test of faith!!!! I am Michele by the way

Hi Michele. I'm John.

Yes (or maybe I should say Yep) The Rodeo started Saturday.

And yes, waiting and waiting while applications get approved is a little bit hard on the nerves. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it but wait. Can't help having the feelings that go with it either, unless you're a Vulcan or something.

Called NVC today and the representative confirmed it arrived yesterday and gave me our case number. I have heard horror stories of cases being held up there for months. . boy, oh, boy!

Well I got home from work and checked my email and I found this;

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 4, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I was really surprised since I wasn't expecting to get approved until the middle to end of March. So now I am off to fill in my timeline and phone my Fiancee. She will be really surprised and excited!

Also Congrats to all who were approved as well in the last few days.
