Hi Munkins,

Naww I'm just trying to sneak by so they don't notice me. :innocent: You can't piss them off or it will be "off with your head" :yes: It does say 12 to 15 weeks and today is our official 14 weeks so they still have one more week to torture us. :lol: Unless they update the list and change it to 15 to 20 weeks. Wouldn't that just be my luck. :whistle:

I'm sure we will hear something soon. Hope you guys get good news at the interview and don't need to go through this.

Happy Thursday,

Vicky

You know, I always wondered about that... I emailed them a couple of weeks before the denial. Tom had booked some time off work and wanted to take me to Scotland and I wanted to find out when we might hear something. We were afraid to just go to Scotland and miss their call. I have always wondered if I messed things up by emailing. I might have called attention to our case and they just grabbed someone to finish things up... someone who didn't know that the embassy had determined that our case was to be treated a little differently.

I certainly hope you get good news soon Vicky. Its so hard to put life on hold for so long. I wonder if they have any idea of what that is like. It affects so many areas.

...and we never did go to Scotland. But we will...

Thanks mary.

Yeah it's so hard just not knowing. Can't make any plans and If you do you get it in your mind your going to jinx the out come. Sort of like dam if you do and dam if you don't. (i know how to spell it, just trying to be nice) :lol: You just keep second guessing everything. Wondering if your hardship letter was good enough. If you did the best you could on it or if you could have done better. Just a million things go through your mind and I guess you just have to stop. But it's sooooooo hard not wondering. I guess you just have to hope for the best and keep your fingers crossed. You know I think the last few weeks are the hardest. It's been 38 weeks since I filed for the K-1 and I'm so ready to hear something. I'm just tired of wondering.

Anyhoo ..........Just got to smile and keep going.................on and on and on and on and on and on. :thumbs:

Vicky

:D Geez I was all worked up about my whining I forgot to ask Mary........ so are you getting all settled in now? Feeling somewhat relazed and rested yet?

What's the waiver for? I thought London was supposed to be pretty good about processing those. :(

Well London did a big overhaul earlier this year. They are doing more waivers from other countries and I think they have changed or added some personel. It seems to be a little different now that it used to be.

Thanks Val,

I need all the support and prayers I can get right now. I appreciate them so much. I seem to be turning into a flaming basket case right now. I think the ladies I work with are ready to shoot me with a traquilizer gun. :yes: They aren't brave enough to get close to do it so they thought the gun would work. :lol:

Think I'm going to give up thinking it will be any time. Think I would be better off thinking of sometime in January. :whistle: I'm trying my hardest not to whine but sometimes I feel like exploiding if I don't rant.

Jeez I hate feeling like I'm not in control of anything. I hate that because I always have a plan or a way to figure things out. This time it's out of my hands. Just wait and worry. :( Oh well I guess one of these days it will be over with and I'll be ashamed and embarrased for being such a big baby. :D

Thanks again,

Vicky
