I got my new Texas bean bag now to help STP get in the spirit. yay!

Yes, she did say that my information was received - at least that's what the website says. She was of no help.

Some day this will all be a blurr.

It wouldn't be possible for me to move to the UK - I have two small girls that I cannot leave behind and their father would never allow me to leave the country with them. Our only option is for Phil to move here.

You're right Jeraly - I have until the end of the month. GO 8 BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked the question - will I get my NOA2 today - This is what it said...

I hope you can read it.

Yay!! That would be soooo awesome!!

And I LOVE the Texas beanbag!! Wowo - I didn't realise what I started!!!

Approved for visa!!!!

Hoorayyyyyyyyyyyy... Steve had his visa interview in Sydney today (30 Jan) at 8am, which went very smoothly despite a couple hours of waiting. He was thanked several times for having everything ready and in order, and the only questions they asked were when we were getting married and where we'd be living. Easy!! Nothing about the affidavit or any other forms, and no asking for evidence of our relationship. Oh well! He's leaving from Sydney tonight so they're sending his visa via Express Post.

Only 2 weeks and 6 days now!!!...but who's counting So many of us are so close now - just think how far we've come!!! Thanks to all fellow July-filers for their information and support - you've been a tremendous help to us both.

Congrats Jennybeni! So happy for you!!!!!

It looks like we'll be in a slight delay for Peter sending off his packet 3. He called the army place, and it seems they didn't send his papers when they should have. This was back on December 18th. So they are putting a 'rush' on it. We shall see. He got his blood drawn today for a chicken pox titer and they said the results would be ready in a week.

It's looking like our Spring break wedding will be a bust unless a miracle happens. If that's the case, we might as well wait until June too....I won't have any more holidays the rest of the school year unless I take time off work. I went on a little rant to Peter about his procrastinating things again....about him not following up on the papers sooner.....he got mad at me ...I think we're both feeling the impending reality and a bit of stress . Anyone else getting the little 'rumble of reality' feelings?

I do feel though that meeting and getting to know him has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am happiest when I'm with him. I am happy alone but knowing he is there. When I focus on being with him rather than being in this unpredictable system I do feel genuinely excited about the prospect of starting over with someone who fits me so well...

PS Meant to say: VERY much agree with the above; you put it very well, babbles

Approved for visa!!!!

Gratzies!!! I went and checked yoru timeline ready to update the spreadsheet... But I already did it - I'm too organised!!

[DanielParul 50]

Hey everyone, been off VJ for sometime, I think I need to vent my frustration now.

We got our NOA2 on 11/20/2007 and the case got filed wrongly at the DHS. It did not reach NVC till Daniel got someone at the USCIS to actually get the file back from DHS and send it back to them after putting a note that the case has been delayed already and needs to be sent to NVC. Case got sent to NVC and we finally got our case number on 01/24/2008.

We just found out y'day that our case has been put under admin review. This has become a joke!!

Ours was a military expedite and they have delayed it in all the possible ways that they could..

Its just killing me to think that this could go on for some time and time is what we are running short of now as Daniel gets deployed in a couple of months.

Has anyone been under admin review and the case got done in a few days / weeks..

Please, need some words of encouragement and that its all going to work out.

Oh I am so sorry to hear of all the mess - it must be so frustrating - have you spoken to your congressman?

If it is any help, weedebz was put under administrative review on a Friday and it was out by the Monday so don't give up hope yet

Let us know how it goes and keep the faith - we will all get there soon, hopefully for you it will be sooner than most!! Nice to see you back as well - if you want me to update you on the July spreadsheet then just drop me a pm

*hugs*

Mox - thanks for the wonderful post. I read it to my fiance and he had to laugh - it's great!

He pointed out that people mistake him as an Australian when they hear him talk in the US. It's funny!

I'm so sorry that you are having all these problems. We just got out of Administrative Review, took 3 weeks but I did get my Senator's office involved so I don't know if that moved it along a bit or not. I would definetly contact my Senator and/or Congressman.

Good luck!
