Well, I'm going to say that I'm frustrated. TSC has managed to put this off to almost the last minute. As you all know, my wife and I were blessed on my last visit to see her with a child. She's now into her 2nd Tri-Mester. I know that TSC is also aware of the fact that my wife is now pregnant, as they have congratulated me on a few occasions when I have spoken to them. But now I'm starting to do the math, and the days are quickly ticking away for the approval. With the way TSC has been moving cases to the NVC, as I watch both threads.. I'm going to have to plan a trip back to be with my wife for the birth of our child. If I would have known then, what I know now.. I might have just done the paperwork to stay with my wife. So I could have been there for all the wonderful things that go with having a baby. I had faith that things would move quickly.... yah... I should have known.

So, even if we get approved and receive the NOA-2 in the next 10 days, it might not be possible for her to travel. As we're dealing with all the extras that go with this entire journey. So, it's now my plan to begin to plan the trip to be with my wife when the baby is born. I have no more faith in the system that is supposed to move quickly thru applications and make everything right with the family. I'll let you all know when we receive the NOA-2, and get the approval.. but it's probably not going to come quick enough. We're now at Day 200+ since we filed.. and nothing from them at all. No help from Senator Udall of Colorado, and nothing more from TSC at all. SO.. TSC.. you won.. I give up, as I want to be with my wife for the birth of our child. I will say that I've learned something from this process.. and I want to thank you all for your support, and I will continue to support you all, and pray for you all as well. But reality for me, is back to be with my wife, so I won't miss anything in regards to our baby being born.

Thomas I know how you feel. but dont loose faith.. we are in all this together and lets pray something happens. f it makes you feel better, I will be 210 days by the 6 of February.. I have an approved expedite and nothing.

When TomJoyce, Eguzzi and me finally get our NVC Case Nrs., it will definitely skew your "average" to the right!! 71 days for me since NOA2.

You're definitely right it will skew my average. I'm hoping though that everyone who got approved gets an NVC number quickly and that TSC cleans up their act. An NVC case number should be obtained within a week, not more than a month.

schools and govt offices plus some businesses have been closed since yesterday, now snow is on the way .. I have a feeling that they will be closed for the whole week because the temps are staying the same.. is not until saturday and sunday superbowl day will be better and then next week another cold front... ugghhhh when there is deep freeze .. ice on roads... for sure they close.

I second all of this.

It truly is shocking how Wade is being treated. Especially when I see approvals and expedites through to interview that were submitted in November.

Aide from Congressman's office called me about an hour ago while I was still at work, at home now since I was felling like fecal matter. It was a direct response to the email that i had sent earlier in the morning. He was nice and cordial but was not happy that I had CC'd the reporter with the email and I said that I understood but was taking all measures to get some traction with with is going on in this fiasco. He has made contact with TSC but no response from them yet, I passed on to him that TSC was closed yesterday due to the weather.

Our situation is truly the "Perfect Storm", literally and figuratively.........................everything going against us.
