APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[Sal and Jay 2]

Thanks sweetie! I hope so!

I sometimes think that becuase of the speed us January folk got approved it has raised expectation, which I can understand.

I can still remember the shock at getting approved so quick, I realy hope you get your soon!!!

VSC has a long history of fast approvals...that being a few weeks from noa1 to noa2. The slow down last year really skewed the data and messed with people's expectations. Last September I expected we could wait up to 6 months for this part since we didn't know when they'd be caught up with the backlog. Many of last year's April filers were approved in a month. So in January when everyone started getting approved in a months time I thought they were just getting back to their norm. They seemed to be for a while but now it appears it's a little longer again, for whatever reason. All I know is that right now, looking at recent data, it's looking like approx. 60 days for an approval.

They claim to go by received date and not noa1 date but there is no consistency for approvals with either number when looking at the data ....so, to me it looks like they throw all recently delivered files up into the air and hope they land in a box.

The only think we know with any certainty... is that there is no certainty!

I choose to remain cautiously optomistic and believe that it will be a mid-June approval for us.

p.s. GO GET EM SAL!!!

Lol Kim thought Id be really nervous but i think the problems with my medical have had an impact on that.

I was keeping up with your medical and the scare they gave you.

It's funny how life puts things in perspective for us, eh?

You've had your nerve racking moment... tomorrow will be 'pie'!

Thank you, everybody! I makes me feel less like a drama queen when I know other people feels the same... I still feel miserable, but I know it'll get better...

And yesterday we got a touch!! lol

Oooooo we've been touched!!! I feel so dirty....and I love it!

Well, we havent been touched.. No one even blew in my ear.

I am getting so depressed about the whole thing. Lots of crying jags

and feeling like he will never be here.

He was staying with relatives recently, b/c we thought this process would be

done much sooner (my divorce held it up) And now he had to find a temp apartment.

He just moved in yesterday. Today is a holiday there and his family came over

to give him a "house warming" I feel so sad, that its yet another experience another

day that we are apart. As much as I know its not true- because we are waiting for

our k1- there are days it feels like living our live separately is moving us farther apart

and not closer together. Every party he goes to every wedding without me.. it just makes

me cry. I am tired of feeling so sad all the time. Our lives are on hold - I dont enjoy anything

any more- I am just so obsessed with this whole friggen thing!

awwwww Jill I'll blow in your ear if ya like.

Distance may seperate you but you are still a couple and still very much in sync with each other.... him moving into an apartment sorta puts a damper on things i'm sure but try to remember, it's just temporary! When you miss him... write him, call him, text him.. whatever you do. Even if he's not able to get it right away I think you'll find that it will help you a great deal just to release those thoughts/feelings. When you're out... talk about him. Make him a part of what your'e doing.

We're lucky in the respect that Russell was living here for so long that everyone around me is anxious for him to get back home too. It can be frustrating having to explain the process to everyone when they ask when he'll be home but I find that it makes me feel much closer to him and makes him a part of 'my day'.

In any case, keep posting, keep talking and remember that you're on the down slope now!!! It's been a month since they've had it already.... wont be long now!

Touched again today! Ahhh if only it had real meaning and purpose! I guess it's good knowing it's at least still there!

I can't imagine the weekend will hold too much good news for either center but let's hope there's at least a couple adjuticator's browsing files at their cookouts!

Have a great weekend Aprilers... stay safe!

PiP..we must be in the same box! Our petition arrived on the 16th so it would make perfect sense. We are being fondled an awful lot! Did you send any kinky pictures?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Here's hoping that those touches mean your files have been placed on someone's desk for processing!

I really hope Vermont can keep up the speedy approvals; it'd be a real shame for them to slow down again so soon.

LOL...hahaha...i think if i did i would have been touched everyday!!!lol..just kidding.....

Still no changes after 4/22.... I wonder if they're looking at our file, just keeping it on someone's desk, or just forgotten about it! The good thing is that no one else (but for that one case) from April has been approved yet... Let's just hope the wait won't be too long now.
