it's so nice to see these approvals rolling through!

I've been pretty discouraged the past couple of weeks, really feeling the weight of the waiting process. Some days it felt like the end was so far out of site, now it's like a breath of fresh air!

I am so glad I found this site, it's been the biggest support base!

Let's see some more approvals! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Thank goodness for Approvals! They make me feel not so blah!

Bo is moving into our apartment tonight! *happy dance*

And I get to see him on Saturday *more random happy dancing - if you all could see me, you would LAUGH!*

I'm glad to see everyone is being so positive this week :) It helps to keep us all happy :)

Welcome to all the new people! Our waiting room is a great support place :)

You got to love how they always do a huge push before the 15th when the timelines get updated. But I'm not discouraging them I just wish the 15th came more than once a month.

Well at this rate it will be well into October before I'm over. Still, that's within a 6 month time frame. It will be nearer a xmas wedding than an Autumn one.

Hows everyone doing otherwise? Hope your all well keeping positive.

Here you go: Igor's List - VCS

Just look for your names on the list of "Still Waiting". The very top are the latest approvals :)

William, I really don't like the idea of Christmas wedding :(... How fast is Lara's embassy with interview scheduling?

Oh, Ukraine is down to almost 80 days from receipt of file from NVC and actual interview :(... Jenni, now I know exactly how you feel :( BTW, how was Bo's big move in?

I just read somewhere, that it should pick up for us any day now, just because there weren't that many April filers. I'm not loosing hope!!!! :no:

It's me who will be having the interview at the Embassy Ana. Lara is the US citizen.

As far as I know, It's about 6 weeks I get my appointment after the K1 leaves the NVC.

All I can say :bonk: me...Sorry :blush: I should stop typing right after waking up.

Six weeks is not that bad... Should make it there mid-October... that is if they'll keep up the approvals

Ohh a speed up in approvals?! that would be lovely! Right now, the wait in Montreal (according to VJ) is 65 days! It dropped from 118 a month ago...we'll see how long it lasts though :S

William, that's not a too bad wait...6 weeks is enough time to get past the excitment and jitters and get your medical and stuff all ready.

Ana: Bos move was tiring according to him. Just did it last night, after a 12 hr workday...Boy was he cranky! Understandable though. We're both just trying to get through the next couple days until I can get there. I told him I would make sure he knows how happy I am to have our place :)

I'm glad to see everyone happy still...we're almost there guys! Soon, we'll be doing those happy dances that the April filers are doing! :dance::dance:

I saw that a May filer with an NOA1 of 05/09/08 was approved on the 14th of July!!! Isn't that exciting? That is exactly 2 weeks before my NOA1 for the I130... my I129F is a week after that... but still... APPROVALS IN MAY FILERS!!! :dance: I just wanted to post this here too in case some of you didn't see that and let you all know that there are some May petitions being approved! Yay! Hopefully we will be approved soon too!!! :thumbs:

DairyFarmer, just wanted to let you know that the town hall you've chosen for the wedding is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't even think they have places like that in America. Even with the white wedding it will be be absolutely gorgeous!
