I'll add Jeremy to my insurance as soon as we get married which will be as soon as he gets here. Hopefully you can get a short term/temp insurance and only need it for a month or so. It's so overpriced. What about traveler's insurance? Jeremy used something like that from Canada whenever he'd visit me just in case something happened (no health ins. in Canada).

I have a nurse friend that broke her ankle while in Europe (can't remember which country). She was amazed at how cheap it was to have it fixed, casted, then re-casted because she had too much swelling. She was able to pay for it out of pocket!! That would NOT happen here. Unless you were a millionaire lol. It's just too expensive.

3/5/11 sent LOC paperwork

3/9/11 date of NOA

?/?/?? biometrics appointment

Oh and just an update in case anybody saw my earlier post this morning about the 13" of stupid snow I had to deal with this morning...my tendinitis (wrist) is killing me, my legs still are freezing, my shoulders hurt and I got my visit from aunt flow which results in a migraine for me! So I think I'm going to be in dire need of a Butterfinger or something like that tonight.

Unfortunately everything is RERUNS so no tv for me.

Audrey, how much snow did you guys get? You're kinda in the same path for storms as me.

Hehe - yeah we will prolly get married pretty soon after I move - Jeremy has really good insurance through his work as well although I can't remember all the ins and outs - I just know it is one of the best types - can't remember what it is called :P

@Agnes - you couldn't look like an elephant if you tried - you're beautiful!! And if you put on a few pounds your OH will love you anyway :D Fortunately for me, Jeremy is 6'4 and just under 280lbs so I will always look tiny next to him :luv:

Ok - supposed to be reading e-mails from wedding planner!!!!

We got 12 inches. Yuck. I am very lucky here that my landlord comes and plows and shovels me out. He's great. I guess I have it made. I have a 5 car garage and a big deck this is 325 square feet and he shovels and plows it all.

It is so funny - your Aunt Flow is visiting - me too. And I am feeling very down tonight because Phil called me at work at 4:55 my time to tell me that he will call me on the cell in 30 minutes and have not heard a word from him. I'm just upset because we talk every night and he has done this to me before. I know that he's fallen asleep - but it doesn't help that I feel "forgotten". We usually Skype but because he's at his brother's house for the night, he calls from a "free" cell phone that his brother has.

This process sucks too - and my favorite is Butterfinger and Snickers - so pull up a chair and let's eat candybars!

LOL

Our RFE was for further evidence of a relationship and they also wanted divorce decrees. They already had them but because they were not signed by a judge or a court authority, they requested them again. They received our evidence on the 28th of December, but we are still waiting.

I haven't gotten my NOA2 yet. I called the NVC to see if they have received my package from CSC and if CSC simply didn't send the NOA2 or post my approval or send my e-mail (like has happened to a few here).

I got my NOA1 181 days ago which is 40 days longer than most of the rest of the July filers. I do realize that I filed at the end of the month and all but avg. processing times are avg. processing times and for them to all-of-a-sudden start taking 28% longer to process is BS

Oh and please stop telling me to update my timeline okay... it's up-to-date. Heaven forbid that I contribute to bad data on here by keeping my timeline out-of-date.

*hugs*

I wish I could say/do something... I just don't understand whyu CSC are so ####### right now - moreso than they have been I mean :lol: Even though I have my NOA2 I still look at these Sept/Oct VSC approvees and feel a bit bitter, saying gratzies through gritted teeth... I mean I am happy for them but there is still part of me that feels like they can't know how hard it is to wait, they can't appreciate it as much as us July-ers will... Of course that is unfair and unfounded but it just kinda creeps up and gnaws at me :P

I have high hopes for CSC - It sounds horrible but the fact that the late-July-er seem to be caught up at CSC for so long suggests to me that once CSC get their @$$£$ in gear again, there will be a flurry of July approvals - I just never thought it would be this bad - I wish I could swap with someone :(

This might be a stupid question, but did you do the RFE trick yet?

Sorry to hear that you have not got you NOA2 yet. I guess it was wishful thinking, my assuming that your calling NVC meant that you had. Hopefully you will be out of USCIS hell soon. The first piece of mail that I have got, during this entire process, has been from NVC... at least they seem to be on the ball and if they get it they do notify you promptly.
