A bunch of CA got touched one week in March when they were digging through the boxes to expedite Japan. I haven't seen any trends from VT showing the same thing, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The VT center is about a month behind in approvals than CA, however, they have the same relative # of approvals in 2011, so hopefully VT will catch up soon. The same thing happened last year with CA when they stopped working K's for a while.

I just combed through the VSC Dec Filer's and there are at least 1/3 of them that are not active and some have 2 ID's for groom & bride (at least on this site). When I looked at the numbers of how many there are for Dec, I thought wow, I wonder how many have withdrew or left? At any rate Dizzy and Bec are right about the stats on Igor's... if you want more accurate for Dec, look at ours. We are the active ones and it weeds out the double identities and inactives.

James, you are still going to submit a recipe from China (JoAnne's region), right? I mean, our cookbook wouldn't be the same without you two! And, btw, now that you're closer to your wedding... have you been doing the Fitness Challenge along with us? Ahem... c'mon James, let's hear about you now, ya stud! lol

Mari

Great news for JoAnne & James!!!

On the fitness front I went to the gym yesterday 30mins of cardio and 20 on abs and obliques. Congrats on the fondle. How do you know you were fondled?

Go to your USCIS profile on website, pull up your Stats and then, go to 'account' and look for update. (I can't remember the exact word).

Thanks so much for the invite, Mari & Kadri. Here's my timeline:

When Being Added To The Timeline DONT FORGET

To tell us the date you sent your I-129F, the date of NOA1 Hardcopy and any "fondles" ("last updated" on www.uscis.gov)

you may have had!! Without all 3 data items our averages get all messed up. And find out where you were routed! VSC or CSC?

p.s. I would really hate to split us up, but because the timeline is growing so large the only way for it to fit into an image format would be to separate CSC and VSC, as much as I don't want to do it.

So either I get rid of the folks who aren't active or we split it up.

Bummer.

Oh, and yes, Mari. I want to kill you.

LOL... ok first don't kill me! I really filtered out the VSC when I went through as well as CSC. Anyone not active I took note and no invite went forward. But there are a few on our Timeline now that I think we can remove. Adi & Pim is one (non-active since Jan), and since Girl with A German is going DCF then we can take them off too. What I was trying to relay earlier was that the VSC list for Dec looks BIG, and that's when I noticed that some of them had double accounts; we have one couple James and JoAnne (Naughty! lol) who does but I am guessing they only use Jame's account. I really weeded out that list and in reality check, it makes the waiting list for VSC people... SHORTER than it appears on Igors! Yippeee!!!! That's why you should hug me, not kill me lol...

Luv u Dizzzzy

This just in from our Decemberite, NEKO (Japan)!!

APPROVED and set for INTERVIEW!!!! :dance:

I saw that timeline and I am amazed at how fast they are moving! Sonoko and I got our NOA2 at the same time as Neko and she still hasn't heard from the consulate. Well either way with the looming shutdown if the US Govt, everything might be put on pause anyway. But, what's a few mor day, weeks, or months!?!? Just as long as it isn't years and it happens before our petition expires or they approve an extension!

I also saw Japan hand another big quake, I hope it does calm down very soon!! Scary times over there!!

With much love to everyone!

Shawn

Shawn, since you are the first Groom on this Decemberite Thread to officially say, "Love to all" ...

You get the Fondle Award for the MONTH!

Thank you Mari!!

VJ and this Dec 2010 community have been a huge help for us, so thank you very, very much everyone!

I am having my medical tomorrow, and interview next Thursday... I am so excited!!

@ Shawn and Sonoko san,

We are surprised to see how fast it's going through since we got NOA2 email notice... we have never seen them work this fast. It almost scares us...

Hey by the way, I am getting a Sanshin soon. I can't wait to learn how to play! Love Okinawan music!!

and yes, we had another big earthquake last night... please calm down, mother earth...
