Goosh darn freakin' holidays!!!! I'm going out of my mind. The July filers avg is 141 days and we're at +30 to that now!!!!!!! I swear to God I'm not going to look at the USCIS site EVER AGAIN (let alone every 10 min's all day long).

It's a good thing I don't know where the CSC office is or I'd head over there and slap somebody.

Okay everyone, I've been off the radar again for awhile...post holiday recovery stuff. I'm moving and panicking a little. Yay! people seem to moving along with interviews visas plane tix etc! I'm soooo happy! I gathered the patience to call NVC but I got all spacey on hold and when they answered I thought I was talking to USCIS and they said the file was still there...and I got all bummed not realizing it was not in California anymore. So I'm really happy that it's not in Cali....soooooo that means it will be in London soon and we'll have packet 3 on it's way. I'm rambling again I know but I have to cram it all in one long paragraph because I haven't posted in soooo long. YAY everyone!

I promise...I have not had a drop of anything to drink. I'm just excited about the visa is gonna be soon and we're all gonna get MARRIED!!!!

She will receive the packet 4 telling her what to bring to the interview along to the interview and the dates of her medical and the interview.

I think they also get the DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230 forms. I may be wrong on this.

I just looked at the website http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp and it told me my Medical Date is February 26 and Interview is March 4. Could this be? It seems so early...and the embassy hasn't even received the petition yet.

Oh well....

Wohoo for me!

Sorry I didn't get back to everyone before bed time on the other side of the world. I got busy with my daughters tonight - homework, homework and more homework. Boy, I think they kill kids with homework these days. I don't remember having that much homework in 1st and 3rd grades! Whew.

Anyhoo, the guy at USCIS was not helpful at all but just told me that I should hear something in a couple of weeks. I said to him that's what they told me two weeks ago. He said "ma'am petitions take time." I also said that there were July filers with RFE's that were getting approvals and he said "ma'am every application is different." That was about it. So, when I got the touch for the 15th, I knew that it was from the call. And then, this afternoon, I checked again and there is another touch. I hope that you all are right and that my approval is right around the corner. I am praying and trying not to think about another RFE.

Tomorrow is another day - we'll see what it brings...

Debz - how is Nick? I hope that he's feeling much better. And just a tidbit of advice on the cough. The best thing for a cough is ice chips. Doesn't sound like it would do much but believe me, sucking on ice chips works wonders for the cough.

Take care!

Nick has been really ill for the last few days with flu like stuff...just had email from his mammy, he's developed pnuemonia and is really sick. All I want is to be there with him and for him but I can't be and it's killing me.

It's been kinda cold in Nebraska the last few days, and getting colder and snowy. I sure hope Nick gets to feeling better soon.

[Jeraly 4]

Awww Audrey - I really want to hear more from these touches - I am so excited for you that I swear I must be almost as excited as you are!!!

Debz - how is Nick? Ok - I will text you in a bit to ask as you won't get on here until you get your new router prolly but still

Oh! And huge gratzies Jeff/Lenie!! I have updated the spreadsheet!!! Please can everyone check and make sure your info is complete and correct?!?! You can find the spreadsheet here

[Jeraly 4]

Gratzies!!! You're almost there now - must be reassuring to have the end in sight!!

Haha - FFVIII - your avatar is of the two main characters from the game Final Fantasy 8

Ah yes! I haven't played many video games since the first Call of Duty.Hehehe Nevertheless I should have known. Really I chose the avatar because we kinda look like them.

I am going bananas people! I am in Italy and am flying back to stinky LA next Tuesday ALONE. No word from Naples about our packet We'll be calling again today and at least we are getting a headstart with the forms that I've downloaded.

A toast!!!! May we all be approved ASAP!!! Chin Chin

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - It's the one downside to where I am going to live - the lovely wind off the ocean blows the glorious LA smog over - sometimes you can't even see the mountains - booo!!!!!

Barely have time for video games myself although I have a lot of them - My DS is cool though cause I can pick it up and play for a little whereever - when I am having a real session I need to settle in for a whole day

[StillThePrettiest 3]

OK, I don't know WHY this should be the last straw, but this morning, it just is... got the complete run-around from the police last night; no, they don't do fingerprints, I have to go somewhere in Stoke Newington for that; they give me a number... it's the wrong number... the wrong number people give me the right number... there's only a message

I try calling again this morning - it's engaged for more than an hour and a half - when I finally get through, they say yes, I have to come in to NEW SCOTLAND YARD to get a fingerprint check, and the earliest appointment they have is Saturday January 26, would I like it? oh, and it will be £60 please; they only take cash

I am SICK OF THIS

I am SICK of being treated like some second-class citizen; I have never committed a crime; I have always paid my taxes; I have never been on the dole, in fact I have never been anything but a benefit to society (I was first a teacher and now I work for a charity, doing global development education and therefore am not exactly flush with cash either)... and of course when I walk out the door on the 26th, my pathetic page of fingerprints clutched in my hand, then I have to send off to Aus for the actual check (as I mentioned yesterday, I've already GOT a farking police check from Aus, but without fingerprints - I emailed the Australian Federal Police and asked what I needed to do, and they sent me the form but never mentioned prints)... so that's weeks wasted, AND the fee I've already paid (it wasn't much, but hell, who wants to waste ANY money at this stage in the game?) and another - higher - fee to pay

sorry

don't often rant, as most of you will know

but I am SICK of all these pathetic hurdles to get into a country where I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LIVE

I like it here

perhaps I'll stay

[Jeraly 4]

Aww hun - sounds like you'ev been given the right runaround... I know what you mean - sometimes I get like this - I'm not even always really p*ssed off - I am just in dire need of a rant at the stupidity and bureaucracy of things!!! Maybe you should consider getting your OH into the UK... it's not too late you know and would mean you avoid paying the AOS fees at least
