February filers at CSC

[reef@pol 0]

We just got our approval email!

I got up early to talk to my Fiance before he goes to bed, as I have every day for 17 months, and while he was checking the weather on the internet he suddenly said "oh my god"...."hold on a minute, oh my god".... "case status, approval notice sent!". CIS apparently sent the notification email at 8.45pm on Friday night. Maybe I don't hate them so much any more

So the curse of the 'last touched on 22 Feb' bunch is dissolving slowly. I had not further touches, just an approval notice.

I hope all goes smoothly in London, we might just make that November 29th wedding after all.

Congratulations to those heading into the next phase and my fingers are crossed for all those still waiting.

Thank you all for being here and adding info and stats - our approval matched VJ estimate almost exactly, and I am deeply grateful for the thread of hope that this gave me in the agonies of waiting.

Keep Hopeful!! Your time will come. They pick and choose to approve people so randomly. i don't get why they say they are always in "order." They're weird. ALSO!!! Keep in mind that "technically" they are working on January... and Look! They've actually started approving March filers...so really, they're much faster than they give themselves credit for. Be thankful for that too Keep patient and keep your hopes up Your time will come soon. They HAVE picked up too.

Mucho Amor!!

Yeah I see they are approving March filers and according to Igors list there are still October, November and December filers still waiting.

This is true, but not accurate because if you look at "updated last" a lot of them were updated A LOOOOOOOOOONg time ago; which means they most likely have been approved but haven't logged on to VJ. I don't know... I'm just trying to motivate you into feeling better, but ok. I say it's better to look up to things rather than down. I ALWAYS try to look at the Positive side of everything, it sure helps me feel better and helps me not be so depressed. Just be patient, your time will come.

I received yet ANOTHER letter from NVC today. That makes 3 identical letters just dated differently.

Huh that's really weird! How long did it take from when you called NVC to when you got the first letter? I might have asked you that before, but I can't remember now

Edited...I suppose what I really mean is how long from when NVC shipped it did you get the letter.

So I'm a little confused. What letter does the NVC send you?

The NVC sends you a letter when they forward your petition to the embassy...I think it just tells you what date they sent it on and to expect to hear from your embassy or call your embassy to get further instructions. Just my assumption...I haven't actually seen the letter (yet), I'll give you more details when I receive mine.

The letter just states that they have received your approved petiton, and that it will be forwarded to the appropriate embassy within a week. It has the INS number, case number and beneficiaries name on it. I had actually called AFTER the first letter was sent out. I may call again tomorrow, to ask why I got 3 letters. It's just nice to see things moving so quickly now, after what felt like an eternity at CSC. My fiance and I did use the time wisely during the wait though. We used it to get closer and strengthen our relationship. If you can make it through this, you can make it through anything. I just wish that they would get the rest of the jan-feb filers approved.

I'm trying to post a scanned copy of the letter. I hope this works, so people can see what they are going to get in the mail

Awesome. Thanks guys.

My Fiancee and I made good use of the time to get close as well. We do most of our communicating through the phone, so my phone bills have realllly sky rocketed. She's been very patient with all of this, as anyone who goes through this process needs to be.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their support and answering any questions I've had, and probably will have throughout the process.

Look at you right on top of things Jon!

Dennis and I joke that we'll almost never have all out fights because we're too good at communicating! Although I'm sure we'll still have some, as any healthy couple does. My phone bills have gone up quite a bit, too...even though we mostly talk via Skype.

That's what we're here for. We've all had questions and someone else was nice enough to answer them. I hope all of those still waiting get good news this week! It's about time they paid attention to us February filers!!
