January 2011 Filers!!!

[Eve&Josh 5]

Hi everyone! I just got back yesterday from my vacation visiting Josh in the US, and I thought Id let you know that everything went perfectly smoothly at the POE. I was actually a little disappointed that no one asked me any questions, just the normal "are you here for business or pleasure", since I was so prepared

Dulles airport POE in D.C. was definitely the most efficient and quickest one Ive ever gone through! A little excitement would've been fun though, and I would've loved to have a real story to share with you!

Another piece of news, we've decided that I will move over to the US in the beginning of June (/end of May) to spend 2 months there waiting for NOA2 with Josh. My employer is luckily very supportive and allows me to take 2 months off and then come back for a month or two to give over my projects for good, as long as I can be available to work a little from the US during the summer if needed. I am SOOOOOO excited!!! By August I will hopefully have my NOA2 and can then get my medical and have my interview. Fortunately the Consulate in Helsinki seems to be very quick with giving Interview dates, it seems that it only takes a week or two to have your appointment after letting them know you have all the paperwork ready. Im having a meeting with my boss tomorrow to talk through the details about being gone for 2 months, so hopefully we can work everything out! SO EXCITED!

Anyway, I hope y'all had a great week and things are going well - Ive havent been on VJ during my trip.

Hugs, Eve

Glad everything is going well for you! So exciting. I was shocked by the lack of excitement at the border too. They didn't even ask how long I'd be visiting, but it felt good to be well prepared.

Hi all,

I'm a little late joining this thread, but I'm also a January filer! Sent off our I-129F packet on 14 Jan 2011 (from Hawaii) and the notice date on our hard copy NOA1 is 26 Jan 2011. Please kindly add me to the list.

Thanks!

Im glad to hear things went well for you too! I know it's stupid, but seriously I was looking forward to even a tiny little interview - I spent most of my trip over (2,5hrs to Amsterdam and then 8,5hrs to Dulles) preparing for it in my head so I was really disappointed about their lack of interest in me I was also bringing over a big suitcase full of books and whatever I thought I will want to have after the move and will not miss before, so I was hauling two huge suitcases for an 8-day visit - they didn't care about that either although I've seen warnings here not to bring too much stuff with you since they might consider that suspicious. Oh well, I should be happy it went so smoothly and hope that next time will go just as well :-)

No problem at all!

Glad you got it figured out.

Looking over our timeline page, it looks like quite a few of us at CSC have gotten touches in the last week or so.

It's outrageously selfish, but I'm rather hoping that VSC start fiddling their numbers the same way CSC have been doing lately.

Adds a nice sort of "lottery" element to proceedings.

we are in the system as well Touched on Feb 28

So, I mentioned a while back that during one of Kata's last visits, we went to a local hockey game.

The two of us ended up on the 'Kiss Cam' at the game.

I remember thinking at the time that it would have been neat to send screencaps from that with our petition.

However, I never had time to follow up on it at the time.

Well, a few weeks back I contacted the hockey organization (The Chicago Wolves) and they were awesome enough to offer me a DVD of the 'Kiss cam' moment if i was willing to make a donation to their charity organization. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity and gave an enthusiastic YES! So, after only a week or so's wait, I have the video of us from the hockey game!

I've already taken some screen-grabs, but I thought I'd share:
