APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[Nicoxcx 1]

Very good idea Graham, must be a Scottish thing hehe, me and Steven seem to be a wee bit to stressed and arguing quite a bit recently!

Great News Brian, I hope you celebrated this news with some sort of toast Your last touch was a day before my last touch, so you also have settled my mind quite a bit on the touches front! Let us know what it feels like to see that HardCopy NOA2 in your hands, I can only imagine the emotions it will stir!

Well, I got my approval today.

Congrats Brian!

Do you recall when your last "touch" was prior to the approval?

[Ana&D 0]

I just had the one touch about a month after filing like most people get. I remember checking my account around lunch time with no new touches on July 3rd. Read my email this morning at work and there it was in my inbox. And the approval email was sent July 3rd at 7:48 PM.

So in my case no touches meant little.

Your mileage may vary,

Brian

I must admit it is neat to be #1 on Igor's Approved List.

However, I look forward to the day when I fall off the Last 20 Approved List because so many April filers have joined the club.

Congratulations Brian!! Nice feeling isn't it?

Sorry to hear that some of you are arguing/bickering with your SO's. Alan and I have argued more over these last 6 months than I have ever argued with anyone. We haven't seen each other since Jan 3rd and I think that has a lot to do with it. If you can plan trip or even just arrange quick weekends away together then I would say do it. We thought we would be fine waiting for the visa and ok we have gotten through it but not without some trials I could have done without.

Fingers crossed for more NOA2's (although there are a few March filers I would like to see cleared first)

Congrats Brian!

I can only imagine how good seeing that NOA2 must have felt! It makes us may filers look up a bit though, knowing that we're not too far behind!

I can relate to arguing lately, the heat and stress of the paperwork, work in gerenal and everything else can get to us. But I'm Southbound to see Bo in 12 days, so I think that will make a world of difference

To those of you with RFE's, I'm sure that it won't be a big delay...just knowing they looked at your case is a good thing Good luck to you, we're all wishing the best!

To all of you April filers, I, and the other May filers, wish you all speedy approvals this month I will be sure to congratulate everyone!!

Hey Guys and Gals quick question.

All my papers that were sent to the VSC state me and my fiancée will live at my Oakland drive location (my parents house were I live now) I recently bought a house and settlement is august 5th. on my I-134 I put I currently reside at my parents house (assuming I get my noa2 by august 5th) I am also putting that I own real estate with a mortgage of 170,000 (my soon to be new house). Not sure if it matters but my current salary is 42,000.

My question is should me and my fiancée just keep going with the story that we will still live at my parents house since my parents aren’t moving? Or during the interview should my fiancée tell them that I just purchased a house? And update the address of my new house on any documents she brings for the interview?

thanks

Are you going to Rio for the interview? Have you ever been to Rio? Does Luciano know anything about the medical and vaccines? I wonder if I could start doing that before getting the NOA2...

Yes the interview is in Rio, I believe all Brazilian K1's go through there. I have spent my fair share of time in the Rio International Airport in passing but never been into the city - I would love to be able to go there one day though! it looked beautiful from the air! Lu has already taken his medical exam in Belo Horizonte at one of the approved civil surgeons - they said the exam is valid for one year so he could take it any time. He got the vaccines while he was there because they were free but we're pretty sure that its not required while hes in Brazil because of the medical stuff thats required for a marriage in the states so you can go either way with that i guess. ahhh im still just over the moon im so excited I keep reading the email over and over again!!!

Congrats to those who were approved! I think it's not going to happen at this point for us, though... Probably we'll be forgotten and perhaps get that approval just before Xmas, if ever. I really feel like quitting now..... I'm starting to think it was not meant to be.

Congrats again to all who got their approvals..

This is a bad day for me..I noticed we made a mistake on filling up the form pertains to Q 17 which asked if my fiance and I are related we checked yes but answered N/A on the follow up question asking for the nature of relationship eg uncle...

Dont know what to do...Should we wait or should we call right away..

Please help me guys..
