Happy Wednesday! I hope you had fun in Ireland, SMASHROX.

dbears - d'aw, group hug

Dawn, now that you're REALLY into it, I bet you will out do yourself last time, you'd now have more sense of authority on the subject of immigration. :thumbs:

Now i need to sleep, it is already 2:52AM here (Thursday already ).... Good Thursday morning to you in the other side of the world...

Sweet dreams to me

o00o how was Ireland? I wanna go there one day I love to travel

It was great although how can it not be when you're with your SO? Weather was cold but I will put up with it if it means seeing my honey.

hey all!

i am new here and i have a question about being "touched". what exactly does that mean and how would you be able to know if you are "touched". would you find out through the USCIS? i recieved my NOA1 on jan. 14th and i really dont know if i had been touched.. does this mean that if i had not been informed about being touched that they are not working on our case?

thanks for the help!

hello and welcome to VJ and to the january filers thread!

Since you already have your NOA1 you can use the case number found there to check the status of your petition or you can also register to be able to monitor touches.

"touch" is when your last update date changes from the last time you check you status on USCIS site (provided you have registered an account). and pls don't stress so much on the touches, we are still early on our visa journey so touches at this point may just mean somebody moved our file from one desk to another or from one filing bin to another.... if you will read through the post on the different threads you will see that there are a lot of people getting approved without getting any touch until the day they are approved. i don't know if i had explained it well but i hope i have somewhat ease your worries a little.

Good luck to your journey and may we all have a speedy approval!!! and pls :thumbs:

Hey everybody! It doesn't have a lot to do with the K1 visa, but I need to share!!

My fiance sent me my Valentine's gift the 5th of February. They said it would take 5 to 10 days to go to France. Everyday I checked my mailbox and it wasn't there. Monday morning I went to the post office to ask them if by chance they got it and didn't tell me, but no, they didn't have it. I was sure that it was lost. or someone had stolen it. The gift inside is pretty expensive...

I came back home for lunch today, and there was a notice from the mailman that said that the package made it here and that it would be waiting for me at the post office tomorrow!!

So, tomorrow, I'll go there and finally get my Valentine's present, which is......... my engagement ring :) In less than 24 hours it will be around my finger

I'm so happy !!

Oooh, be sure to post photos!

Receiving a parcel - even when you know the contents - is so exciting!

My Valentine's Gift arrived today, too. Alex sends my parcels to work so that I'm always in when they arrive. I have a webcam! I also have a Diablo box set (the computer game) and the Tintin companion guide. Now I just need to complete my Tintin book set.

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

Yes, I will post photos

A webcam is definitely a good gift when you are in a long-distance relationship! And Diablo is fun. that's going to make time go faster.

I wish that the technology in the Ukraine was up to snuff so I could do the same thing with my honey, they're still in the 1990's as far as that goes. I have to think of other things to make the time pass.

Wow! Congratulations on your engagement ring. And glad to hear it actually made it to you. But i have a question....5-10 days?? #######? Are you telling me that he sent an engagement ring through the regular post? Helluva risk, dontcha think? FedEx or DHL would have gotten it to you in a day or 2. Even then I'd be afraid. never heard of someone mailing such a gift. Whew, but luckily you got it.

I know, now that I think of it, it's a little silly. He told me he would insure it, and mail with all the tracking options they would have. I guess we just didn't think of sending it with FedEx or DHL (well, at first, I told him I didn't want him to send me an engagement ring, and that I would prefer him to send me something cheap (like a $20 ring, or something even cheaper). Now that you say it, that's so weird none of us didn't think of FedEx or DHL! But it made it here, that's what matters

Poor you! *hug*

I was without the internet for five months last year - okay, it wasn't that bad as I still had it at work - but I wasn't able to hear his voice; it was very frustrating! So you have my sympathies.
