January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

lol.. cécile, you are right.. I am a stresser lol xD

I just got home and found packet 4 in the mail with my appointment for the interview (have to call for medical tomorrow morning)... lol, even the customer service said they couldnt have had it but still they seem to have got the mail with my checklist

Again all that stressing for nothing... when am I going to learn :S

Haha!! Congratulations on your interview date

Poor sunny, I bet!

I believe I've mentioned my accident-prone sister here before; the one who is always losing things/having things stolen/getting into scrapes that are never entirely her fault. Anyway, latest story (I can't ring up my parents without hearing of yet another escapade) is that the other night my mother received a phonecall. My sister had been to a concert in Belgium and was able to get a lift back to Tunbridge Wells but had no money to get back to my parents' (100 miles away); could my mother drive out and meet her? The reason she had no money? She'd snapped her credit card. How had she snapped it? By sitting on it.

Maybe when you go back to your parents' home, they will ask you to watch her 24/7, and go to concerts with her, just to see if less accidents happen

I hope you'll get your packet 4 soon, it shouldn't take too long now.

Thanks so much Dbears I believe that is how I got through to them around the 10th of June....we then received an email stating this which I am not sure if I ever posted the email on this thread but this is the email we got....

Soooo yeah it says not to call again but WHATEVER! I am hoping and praying this was a generic response as it says to give them ANOTHER 180 days ummm NO!!!! So I will wait very impatiently until they post the new processing times and then start my calling, I plan to try and get through to the actual person handling our case at this moment as I want to make sure that it is not the fact Gareth tried to come to visit in December and got denied that is holding us back! The whole reason he got denied is they feel he was going to try and stay over his allotted visa time! So yeah we are a bit frustrated and just want a clear answer! Neither of us has even had a speeding ticket!!!

Just called the doctors office and the place where I have to get an xray and monday will be the day for my medical woohoo

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

Time is going to fly by for you now, Jeroen. You will be in the USA soon. I have noticed the weeks seem to disappear once all the final appointments are set.

Yesterday was my going-away party with my friends from Paris. It feels so strange to say goodbye to everyone. And the feelings were not the same for all of them: there are a few ones that I really felt like it was our last time together, and for other ones, even though we knew it was the last time, it didn't feel this way, it felt like we would be together again in 2 weeks. Really strange. They bought a nice card and wrote sweet goodbye words on it, I felt all emotional again, almost going to cry This morning I feel very tired! I'm glad I don't have anything to do at work anymore.

I hope so.. there's a downside tho, I can't quit my job before October (taking the notice in account) while I was initially hoping for September but oh well, 5 weeks extra on top of the whole mountain should be doable

Cool to hear you had your going-away party.. I doubt I get one as most of my friends already left the country haha.. I'll probably do a dinner or something with my family but that's cool too. I can imagine it all feels so final, like you will never see them again even though you might still see them once in a while (over the net or by visiting your birthcountry (I will try to visit my old country at least once a year)). I was a bit sad a bit earlier today, I was searching for addresses of ministers or judges to do our wedding and at once site I was reading the texts which will be said during the wedding and I was initially like 'wow, its getting close and so final'.. oh well, I can imagine we will all be home sick when we're there but as long as we can cope with it then we should be ok

October instead of September? wow that's kind of sad but still, you will be preparing to move out of the country, so time should fly by anyway. And after that, you will be spending your lifes together

I will probably have a dinner with all my relatives in the next weeks. Saying goodbye to my parents is what is going to make it a lot more real and final! I'm sure the next weeks will be full of strange emotions again...

[sunnybear 0]

Oh you guys you are almost to the US and to your loved ones!!!!!!!!!! Man oh man I know you have got to be so excited! But yes I am sure whirlwind of emotions as well. Good luck to you both and it will all be ok

Thank you for your sweet words

I keep hoping your approval will come very soon, that way ALL of us can be excited!

[KimandRuss 0]

There's got to be such a whirlwind of emotions leaving and I hope you all get through it remembering all that's awaiting you. BTW... It's not 'goodbye'.. it's 'see you later'. The world is (obviously) not as big as we all once thought it was.

Jeroen.. good luck at your medical. Hope it goes smoothly. I'm sure Cecile is right, it's all going to fly now. Boy, I can't wait till then!

Sunny, still have my fingers crossed that they move you guys out of the check and onto approval soon!

[sunnybear 0]

Hmm remember how I contacted state rep last week or week before....(all my days seem to smoosh together lately) anyway still haven't heard anything back about that either?! Does anyone know if they even contact you back or does it depend on each rep I suppose? All I got was the automated response when I first sent email to him....

Do you have a phone number to contact them? you could ask why they haven't answered you yet.

I know, but at the same time it does give me some more time to get everything done and it gives me some more money to save, which I kinda need when looking to the things ahead.

It might be kinda hard to say goodbye indeed, like you said, it will be full of emotions indeed. Good luck with it tho

It is an exciting time indeed... I'm so sorry you still haven't got your NOA2.. Everyday when I pop into this forum, I still hope to hear the good news of you having your NOA2 as well. Keep in mind though, your exciting time will come for sure as well!

I agree, it is not a final goodbye at all (in our case we might even decide to go back to Europe in some years of time, Michelle kinda wants to do that later on..).

And thanks I think it will go smoothly. The people I talked to were really nice and I think it will be ok indeed
