Called USCIS this afternoon to report a fake RFE. When she said there was no RFE I did the 'ol "well as long as I have you on the phone do you think you could tell me where my case is?" At first she stuck with the "they're still working on July 19th cases" party line, but I said that last time I called I was told it was with an adjudicator and asked if she could please tell me where in the process my file was. She put me on hold for almost 5 minutes, came back, and said we were approved.

I completely did not expect that answer. At the risk of damaging my oh-so-manly image on the Russian forum, I started to ask her if I heard her right, and then sorta choked on my words. She said "alright now, don't start that because I'm going to start crying too!" So I re-grouped, asked if I had heard her right, and she said "yes, you heard me right, congratulations!" Then *she* actually started getting choked up. I told her she had just made my week, and she could hardly answer me. It was surreal. :)

Anyway...damn it feels great to finally be on the other side of the fence. I know there are still other fences, but they don't look quite so high...

Absolutely! :)

You betcha! Drinks are on me tonight boys!

Dangit, Nadya won't be up for another 7 hours so I can't share the good news with her yet. But hey, if I get lit over the next 4 hours, I should be able to sober up over the next 3, right? Right?!

Instead of going out to the bar to get a beer, why don't you stay at home and watch Lifetime you bumbling Mary. You could sit there in your housecoat and furry pink slippers, paint your nails and listen to some Sarah McLachlan while sipping on white zinfandel you Nancy boy.

Just kidding man. I know those tears and the getting choked up were all side effects of the stress relief of getting through the VJ process, not from being all "mushy and stuff" inside.

Congrats! Won't be too long now.... then you can cry about your interview date you sissy!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

That was a magical phone call...not what one might expect from the USCIS, but it confirms we're all human.

Let me congratulate you and your fiancee on your K-1 approval!

Thanks man!!

omg, you had me laughing for several minutes over that post. :lol: Well done. What I had meant to say in my post was that I choked on the ribeye steak I was eating at the time. Yeah, just a little gristle caught in the 'ol wind pipe. I was eating it while riding my John Deere tractor. The one with the beer cooler and gun rack. It happens sometimes when I'm running over hippies. In my tractor.

KIRK - CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND NADYA !!!!!!!!!!!! Time will start moving very fast now. Look out Monterey :dance:

Thanks Buck! I talked to Nadya this morning and she was really excited. She said "interview in April?" and I said "I think more like May." She said "I am think April." *sigh* I'm gonna laugh if she's right, but I'm definitely not holding my breath.
