Congratulations ChristophandEvan!!!!

This is great news...

Highway Star ~ I know it's easy to get discouraged, but I promise you they will answer your petition, they HAVE to. It's just annoying that you have to wait, I know, but don't get so discouraged. It will happen for you, and when it does we'll have a party in your honor!

What a great week for Vermont!!!!!!!!

WOW, that was quick. I am almost out of the top twenty approved list. It seemed like that list never moved when you were waiting to get approved.

I really hope that it is someone I know that gives me the final boot out the door.

That is wonderful!!! Congratulations. Good to see VSC working at the end of the week!

Raffaella, doesn't hurt to call but I agree with Sally (hi Sally! ) and everyone else... this is just the way it goes. Been watching them do this for a year now... no rhyme or reason to it...some people just wait longer. Not so long ago the wait was 6+ months so i'm trying to be thankful we're not back there. It's extremely rare that a K1 is not approved at the uscis level so I wouldn't worry about that.

Pink (pim)... i've been watching your timeline since we were both touched around the same time. I think you might be right and I do hope it's this week we are soooooooooooo ready to be done with this! 10 months is far too long to be away from the person you love.

Nice to see you Brian! Any news on interview yet?

Graham and Meagan... where are youuuuu???? I know you're together but say HI! I've seen you lurking!

I've been trying to keep myself extra busy so I don't make myself crazy. We're so hoping for an approval in the next week and then to rush the NZ Consulate along to get Russ home asap. It gives me peace to know that NZ is such an easy Consulate to deal with (knock on wood).

Have a great day April... bring us more!!!

Still nothing.. And getting close to the four-month mark. I wonder whether it would be any use if Michael called VSC and asked why people who filed later than us are being approved... What do you think?

Firstly, congratulations on your choice of user name: I had that blaring out at ear-busting decibels on I-44 a couple of weeks ago on the way to Branson. You may or may not know that large swathes of I-44 (i.e. most of the Eastbound stretch between Springfield and St Louis) used to be historic Route 66, and it don't get no better than Gillan, Blackmore & co behind the wheel of a car on arguably the most famous stretch of road there's ever been.

Anyway, I digress.

We filed in february and are still waiting - so I hear ya about people getting approved before you do. Annoying, but nowt you can do I'm afraid.

I know there is nothing I can do, unfortunately.... I would like to say a lot of things about this process, but I will hold my tongue in order not to hurt anyone's sensibilities - and also to avoid certain members from telling me, why don't you stay where you are?, as I was told last week .

Damian, thank you for mentioning my screen name! I am a HUGE Deep Purple fan, and in general I am very much into all Seventies' rock music. This is how Michael and I met... I am just a passive music lover, while he's a very good bassist, and can play some other instruments as well. Hopefully I'll be able to go to a lot of gigs when I move to the US!

Amber and I also met through rock 'n' roll - an AC/DC music forum, to be precise! I like a lot of '70's rock too (except Led Zeppelin - sorry, I just don't get them) especially Deep Purple. When I knew we were going to Branson for the weekend I deliberately went into WalMart just to buy the greatest hits CD for the journey!!!!! When "Highway Star" came on, I depressed the accelerator, turned the volume up to 10, and just enjoyed being alive!

You will LOVE the U.S. if you're a rock music lover - nobody does rock 'n' roll bars/gigs etc like our American friends. And unlike the U.K., there's a classic rock station on the dial wherever you may be. If you're ever in the St Louis area, I highly recommend KSHE95, or US97 if in the Springfield/Branson area.

Long live rock 'n' roll!

There must have been another handfull of approvals - we've moved up to 69 on Igor's list. Congrats to those getting the great news!

[Nicoxcx 1]

We are 42 on Igors list now! , I am hoping for an approval next week!, It would make my year hehe

[william_wallace 8]

Congrats to the April filers that got there NOA2. Looks like igor's list has been moving a lot this past few days. Last week we were stuck at 155 for a few days, now jumped up to 130.

Good luck to the rest of you who's still waiting.

Morning April...

Long live rock n roll.... Cept i'm a Zeppelin fan too. My ex plays a few instruments and has played in a band as long as i've known him (20+ years) ..and I just love to sing anywhere and everwhere... music has always been a huge part of my life too. Now my kids. Our cousin is Mistress Carrie from WAAF in Boston. Lots of rock stations here too... everything but country (sorry) and ganster rap is good by me.

Damian, nothing better than a long stretch of road, wind blowing in your face and a good tune in your ear! Ok..well there's a few things that come close.

Dale, are you tracking your petition with DHL? Very excited for you.

Cmon vsc...we're still waiiiittttinnnggggggg

I hear ya about singing anywhere and everywhere; I do that all the time - when I'm loaded! You ever use Limewire or something similar? If you have, you'll know how incredibly addictive it is, and how before you know what's going on, it's 7am, and you've drunk a case-and-a-half of beer, and 2 packs of cigarrettes!!

Anyway, point being, I was well into a Limewire session (about 3am I'd say) and Skynyrd's "What's your Name" was playing at the time. I had my earphones on at the time (you can guess what's coming now, right!!??) and you just know that whilst you THINK you sound just like the singer on the song, in reality you sound like a sack of fighting tom cats on moonshine! Anyway, suffice to say that 'er indoors emerged from her slumber with a face like thunder, and shot me the kind of look that would kill a man stone dead - I piped down after that!

Ah, beer and rock music - truly a winning combination.

that is too funny.

I actually do sing in public and used to even get paid for it so I hope i'm not too bad! Although, after watching some of those fools on American Idol thinking they can sing I did ask my love.... I'm sure I have a cut of my voice somewhere i'll see if I can find. We used to go to concerts all the time (having a cousin in the biz is helpful) but it's not so much my thing anymore. I much prefer a lounge in my pool or a good hard run with good music in my ear now.

Umm I actually have over 1/2 a terabyte of hard drive space almost completely full up of movies and music from every genre and generation. My love is HUGE music fan ...and a downloading fool. I host my own server as well so if we ever run of out space.... Awfully convenient, no?

I do enjoy an ice cold coors light and perhaps a shot or two of tequila here and there ... although I don't seem to need it .... but I gave up the cancer sticks in the early 90's.
