Filing in March

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Well maybe i souldn't b***h that much since i have my owh faults.... I DRINK BLOOD...Bruuuuhahaaaaaaaaa

Good one Aleena. You have a very funny sense of humor. And I do like to eat ice, but doesn't everybody? Guess not.

I see somebody else posted an approval for the week but we don't know when they filed. I added two more names to our list that don't have complete timelines but have a NOA1 date, so I stuck them in the March list. It looks like we're about 85% done. I'm surprise early Aprils didn't start popping in this week. It jumps around some with how the approvals come, depending on how the boxes got filled and who picked them off the shelf at the USCIS. I guess I will do a Sunday update of the March filers list.

I just noticed there was another March filer (NOA1 3/28) who was approved last week and just posted their info today. That looks like positive news to me. And since none of the early April filers have seen any action yet, and looking at how the end of March timeline has been getting filled in with NOA2s pretty consistently over the past week, it makes me think that they are trying to get all of the March boxes off of the shelves and complete before they pick up the April boxes, which seems fair to me!! There has been a bit of jumping around among the dates at the end of March but none of it has spilled over into April yet. My guess is that as soon as they plow through the rest of March (hopefully in the next couple of days!!) they will move straight into April... Let's hope that's the way it goes at least...

@ you aleena! That was so cute. I don't think I tend to eat ice... well except when I was in labor with my three children. I can, however, tell you that I suffer severely from allergies (we're talking anaphylactic here) and having the air conditioning going instead of the windows open makes a HUGE difference for me. I agree... we're spoiled! And I love it!

Danielle-Jusin... awwwwwwwwwwww Try to be happy... it's coming!!! Hopefully this is your week! You too Jessica!

It better be! I think i've been pretty patient with you March people!

xoxo stay strong people!

Morning Marchies

Did you all have a good weekend?! Alan and I had a little chat over the weekend which was nice. Its a bit hard to find time for each other at the moment as he has his 4 year old son staying with him. He was really understanding and appreciative of what I'm doing which I needed and we have picked a tenative move date dependant of everything going ok at the interview which is pretty exciting. I'm not gonna talk about it too much though, it might be a bit premature seeing as the visa isn't in my love sick mits yet.

It's gone a little quiet over the weekend, hopefully thats because your all out celebrating the last of the NOA2s. It's time for April now ... March was SO last month!

Lots of Love

Packet 3 sent back to the embassy this morning! yaaaaay!!!!

getting closer

later this week i will call and schedule my interview and my medical! i am soooo anxious! and i know it will be very soon!

my medical will be the day before the interview, so i won't have to make two trips to Bucharest. I will stay at a very very dear friend of mine. She lives and works in Bucharest. we don't see each other very often but when we do...we have a very good time. so one more reason to get excited!

i keep having weird dreams though...like last night i dreamed i missed a flight....and i was looking for a nother ticket...

there is a lot of tension and i can feel it even when i dream at night...

so looking forward for this to be over....

JESSICA you are right about USCIS trying to get rid of all us Marchers before they move on to the anxious April filers. Which is totally fair... Didn't use to be like that some months ago... So you can be confident that yours are very very close

hang in there!

hope we have a happy dancing Monday! just like we did last week

vibes....

where is our little Brazilian friend?????? Dancing Forro with her honey...I bet!!!!!!

wonder what Tuty and Erin are doing.... Miss them....

[BexandAlan 0]

Woohooo! Congrats hun, nearly there! Alina and Lee sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G ... you will be soon!!! Maybe not in a tree, hmmm probably not in a tree. I have been having weird dreams too! Our minds are just over worked with all this stress I guess. I'm really jealous Alan and Nicholas are having such a good time together, I feel really left out I'm so ready for us to be a family!!

I miss Tuty and Erin too I hope they are well. I've been sending some good vibes to both of them.

Its a lovely day here in Nottingham, I think I am going to take the afternoon off and sit in the sun

That's great Alina. You're just moving right along.

Yes, they're dancing Forro and sipping drinks on the beach and he's singing that Forteleza song to her.

Its a lovely day here in Nottingham, I think I am going to take the afternoon off and sit in the sun

Well you should take off and enjoy all that lovely British weather while you can because you're going to miss it. Or not

I think you should ease back on the work and be a lady of leisure. When is the wedding and did you ever get happier about your dress?

HI and Good Morning. It's JULY already. Does it seem like the time has flown by to anybody since we filed? It does seem faster once you get the NOA2 and all the agony and uncertainty of waiting gets better. I just wish they would hurry up for you Jessica. I think you're just a little different case because you're not residing in the US right now. Somebody at USCIS is saying, "Hey Sam, what do I do when the petitioner lives abroad? They didn't teach me that in training." "Oh, just put it aside and we'll ask Bob when he gets back from Hawaii." Arrgh!

And July reminds me once again I don't have a great idea for Nick's birthday on Saturday. Guess I'll just have to wrap myself in a bow with Happy Birthday tattooed across my bum. I think we'll go eat Mexican food. He likes fajitas and Margaritas. Here we have Tex-Mex, as we call it, and it's so good. Anybody who's been away travelling wants that first when they get back. My daughter returned from England on Sunday and of course had to have Mexican food for supper. Speaking of my daughter, she started a new job yesterday and was so happy with the place. She emailed several times during the day saying "I love this place." They gave her a whole office of her own, a Blackberry phone thing, free gym membership and lots more money. She is chuffed, as the Brits would say. Often when you decide to jump off and make a change in your status quo, it turns out to be a great thing. So everybody who is stressing about the big change you're making...I hope by Christmas you are all sitting in America saying, "I love this place."

Thanks for remembering those of us Marchers still waiting, Nich. And there are still quite a few of us. There was even a new timeline added over the weekend of a late March filer who is also still waiting... Now that there's been an approval for an early April filer, I really hope they don't just start skipping right over us!!!! USCIS better get their butts in gear this week before the holiday weekend rolls around!!!! I wanna dance this week!!! And I might cry if I don't get to...

You might be right, Nich, about me living abroad, but I really don't see how that should affect anything. If anything it should speed it up, since they should be able to see that we've been living together for almost 3 years!!! Wishful thinking, I know...

It is soooo funny that you said that... You know it might actually happen because Lee is very passionate about hunting and in the winter hunting season he spends a lot of time "sitting in a tree"...lol.... and the deal was he would take me with him next winter and teach me how to hunt.... Can't think of a funnier picture...lol... Me holding a shot gun??????? Better not be around me! And plus... i even feel sorry for dead mosquitoes...lol

hope tou are enjoying lovely England winter

Congrats for your daughter's new job NICH!

When are you flying to England????

I haven't been really excited with my career lately... But i know there will be a new start for me and i do have an idea about what i want now...And i gave a very good feeling about it

JESSICA...you will get yours soon...i know it...and it will give you a whole new perspective on things... At least you have the advantage of being with your man throughout this process and i am sure that makes the wait a lot easier

I got my police certificate today. turns out i am not a commy terrorist... yaaaaay!!!!!

i am a little nervous about scheduling my interview... as far as i know the consulate allows you to pick the date if they have it available... so ...

Nr. 1....i am still waiting for Lee's notarized latest tax return (only found out i need it notarized after receiving P3) which he mailed out last Friday.... So i want to leave some time in between and make sure the envelope gets here ... My medical has to be a day before interview and i will go to Bucharest a day before that...which means 2 days before interview... Hmmmm.....

Nr. 2...Lee's birthday is next Friday (11th) and i think it will be the nicest gift if i got my visa on that day... There is a risk it gets screwed up though..... Hope not... Why do i always have to have negative thoughts?????

Nr3.....if i set interview date 2 weeks from now...there will be too much stress and tension on both sides because Lee is having his sinus surgery that week...

Oh Lord! And when you think about it is is only complicated in my head... I guess i will find out when i call the embassy on Thursday...or maybe i will get really anxious and call tomorrow.... hmmmmm Maybe they won't even allow me to pick the date and they will set it themselves...

all these thoughts kept me awake for a few hours in the middle of the night...and when i went back to sleep i dreamed about me and Lee going to my GRANDPARENTS ' WEDDING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

God help us......

hehehe I think that's a wonderful idea and can't think of anything he'd want more! Kudos to your daughter!

Jessica... I do hope you hear something this week!

Bex.. Aleena.. how are you girls holding up?

[Dutti 0]

How's everybody doing?

Well, today was one of the nicest summer days we had so far in Belgium (it is actually HOT!)

So, we're going to enjoy it as long as we can (although there will be plenty more nice days in Hotlanta for sure!)

My friends organised and amazing bachelorette party last weekend (a bit early, but since everybody is on holiday the following

weeks, it was the only date available).

It was an unforgettable evening!! Champagne picknick on the riverbanks of the Schelde in Antwerp (the harbour police even

took us for a free boat trip on the Schelde when they saw us having fun...how cool is that!)

And since there was a big Gay Pride festival going on near the river, we had some nice side animation as well!!

Never saw that many muscular sailors in my life

Well, it was fun, that's for sure!

So I definitely had an amazing time and the best friends in the world for organising this lovely evening!

I just found myself a new pasttime today...tracking the package to the Embassy...

I read on a couple of threads how you could track dhl packages from NVC, and yep,

it worked! Of course it worked...we got the info on VJ right!

So our petition is on its way.....oooooh!

The people at the embassy were so kind to give me an appointment already, so I'm going to be

in Atlanta before I know it!

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for everybody still waiting, and maybe you will be

even able to make up some time like me with the following steps of the journey...

Maybe the NOA2 takes a little bit longer, but in the end it might all just even out!!

C'mon, we need some more approvals before the long weekend there!!

Jessica and all the others :thumbs:

hahahI wish we were dancing friday Jeff got here at 4:30pm and guess what?? no luggage with him.... yes there we went to discuss with the company that didn[t want to fill a claim because it was the second company and he didn[t do the check in again because the TAG already had this flight number and his destination and bla bla bla It was reallyu stressfull and I didn[t want o make it even more so we decided to come home and ccall delta. BEcause of tat I had to cancel the weekend on the beach and buya feel clothes for him on saturday and sunday I got the number of the Lost Lugagge from the airport h first landed here in BRazil in SP and they founded so luggage only on sunday and sent it here on monday so now Iam more relaxed I fanally got stop playing my new games that I got as a present from Jeff and came here to send some life sign hahahahaha besides that is been really good been with him all the time and huging =) so yes even with the luggage thing Iam really happy now =) besides I got a Nitendo DS hahaha so I am turning into a game girl because of him. hahahhaha

Dutti, sounds like a wonderful time! Sounds like fun. I'm glad you found the tracking info and now know your petition is on it's way. How exciting!!!

Hi Ana, too bad Jeff got his clothes back! Naked is not such a bad way to spend the time together! Really, i'm glad everything's sorted and that you get to spend some time together. Enjoy.
