January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[Levi_Heather 0]

Good morning all Hope everyone is having a great day! I hope Blake finally got to tell Olga the good news and Andrea I got your pic and its hilarious!

Glad you enjoyed it!! I'm nervous and anxious and unhappy today...I have this weird lump on the floor of my mouth and lots of little tiny bumps all over...I'm going to the ENT today to have them checked out. My GP's comment was "Well...it doesn't LOOK cancerous. You should have it removed."

Well what reassuring words from your GP I'm glad you can get into the ENT quickly to have it checked out though and try not to suppose too much Andrea... It could be just a swollen gland or something but I know its hard not to worry when you don't know for sure.... I'll be thinking about you and hope everything goes ok.

lol peepz.. my SO called NVC again today and they told her the petition has been sent to Amsterdam 2 days ago instead of yesterday lol..

I guess it makes sense in a way, though. The reference says EXP 16 JUN 2008A so that would indeed be 2 days ago, but the actual pickup date of that one (which is the one I found on the DHL site) was the 17th and since there was no other one around it had to be that one meaning that, I think, the date the NVC tells you is actually one day before the actual pickup date.

Oh well, I just leave the date on the 17th as it is the pickup date

I tracked the package and it went from Portsmouth, NH to Portland, ME and from there to Wilmington, OH from where it went to East Midlands in the UK, where it is at the moment (quite some travelling lol)... I think it will arrive in the Netherlands tomorrow and then, hopefully, real soon I find the information package in my mailbox

hi all!

i have a question for you guys!

i m stil wating for NOA2 and feel very depressed i don't understand what take them so long...

do you think that the fact that I studied in China for a year is a problem???and the fact that i got my 6months tourist visa for the US in Beijing???

I have no idea but could be! I am currently stuck in security so they say and I filed week before you. I lived overseas due to the fact I was married to a guy in the air force but am now divorced.....so maybe they have to wait for security checks to come back from each place we lived? No idea.....Good luck and hope we both get NOA2 SOON!!!

Same for me too - I lived overseas for 3 yrs (but I was a kid) so that's 3 of us who haven't gotten our NOA2 yet and maybe it's related to that...

So I have a question did you put you have been a US citizen the whole time then? I did. Also did you put you had been a resident of US the whole time? I also did since the only reason I lived overseas was with military spouse and we were always told no matter what we were still Michigan residents no matter where we lived on military orders.....really hoping if this is the hold up it won't take toomuch longer!!!

Well USCIS did an update they supposedly up to Dec 8,2007 applicants now according to their site hmmpppfff.....so Gareth and I are now up to number 20 on the list....too bad didn't even wanna make it that high! I am so scared we are gonna be one of the ones bumped off the list due to be waiting even longer than what USCIS says

Trying to keep the faith here though and hope and pray we get approval this month!!!!

Yay! He said definitely not cancerous...apparently it's a growth of lymph tissue and it's somehow related to my allergies. He also gave me some new allergy medicine and very detailed instructions on how to make it work properly.

I'll be pulling for both of you. Sounds like a tough situation to be in...

Well, I am a naturalized citizen, so I put that. And for the part about living outside of the US for more than 1 yr, I put the overseas address. I'm thinking maybe another reason why mine is taking awhile is because my guy's last name is common. It's a little frustrating at times, but there isn't anything we can do until it's past the 6 month mark... and even then, contacting a representative won't always do any good... but we'll all be fine! We talk about how we'll handle it if they end up taking forever or even denying a visa, so no matter what, we will be together. I would just like to have it played out like it did in my mind - quickly!

Hellow fellow January filers at the CSC. There are a lot of you out there, but I don't see many of you posting in the regular January filers thread. I don't begrudge the wonderful speed at which the VSC filers are being approved - Congratulations to all of them - but it points out how different the experience is for CSC filers vs. VSC filers. While the January thread is full of great news about approvals and touches, etc. we CSCers have our own issues to deal with. For myself, I know it is difficult to empathize with a January filer who voicing impatience with a process that is so much shorter than the one I am facing - it may not be "fair" that our processing times are so different, but its also not fair to rain on their parade or dismiss the concerns of the VSC filers. There is also the relevancy - when the CSC side is talking about approvals the VSC group will be talking about interviews or weddings.

So how are you doing? Are you frustrated, concerned, or excited? Knowing the wait that sits in front of you, how will you use the next 5 months. If you think this is a valuable thread then please add to it. Regardless of CSC or VSC, I hope we can all support each other on this amazing journey.
