Hi, Alex and all

I am also getting a little upset these days.

when i applied in May, VSC processed cases much faster. now CSC is catching up.

Luckily I prepared this in the beginning of august.

and made sure some very busy schedule for myself these few weekends

It's August. many people are in vacation. So is USCIS

Natalia

Hi May filers! Just dropping in to see how your spirits are holding up. It seems like once they start approvals in your month it gets so much harder to wait. You really get obsessed with checking USCIS and Igors. I think it's the hardest time. So I just wanted to wish lots of good luck. Once you get the NOA2, there's so much to do and it goes fast. If you haven't been doing it, start working on the next part. There's things to order and more documents to puzzle over....you know those ambiguous questions that you wonder what the heck they mean. Don't be one of those people that start a thread called "NOA2. Now what?" Get ahead of the game on the rest of the journey.

Just thought I would throw in something to take your attention away from the dreadful waiting, but it probably won't work. So hang in there just a little longer.

Catching a flight to Northampton tomorrow. I will be down there a few months. I'm just thinking if I need to come back up to Scotland before my interview.

Are you having your mail forwarded? You'll get a P3 checklist to fill out and send back with the DS forms. And you have to take the interview appointment letter (Packet 4) to get in the Embassy. Also your certified birth certificate (with parent names on it), police cetificate, divorce decree?, military records?...don't know your history. I haven't read this whole thread, so maybe you've done all that already.

My case was touched today, but haven't got an email yet. It's so close for all the May filers... I am so anxious. I keep wondering if the status has changed. I am hoping their emails are a 24 hour turn around time and that's why I haven't got word yet. Either way, even if the status hasn't changed, I'm glad they are at least looking at our case.

For myself as one of those at the CSC I am sorry to say I have little sympathy for the timelines of the VSC and CSC merging.

It seems unfair that b/c we live in one state we should be delayed waiting to be with our loved ones, and yet it happens. It would be my hope in the future the two service centres will run concurrent so nobody feels disadvantaged.

Right now being away from John is VERY hard. He has asked me to stop counting the days but I feel I am going mad some days. 2 months 28 days since I was with him.

Did you see the USCIS processing timelines have been updated and I'm not sure about the VSC but the CSC has gone BACKWARDS!!!!!!!

I'm going through the very same thing. Chantal is having a very hard time with this. That leaves me trying to comfort her most nights.....telling her to stay positive.....it will all be over with soon.......blah blah blah.

The problem is.....some of those days I'm comforting her.....I'm down in the dumps myself. As many of you know....it's a real bi*tch trying to comfort someone when you feel the same way they do.

I want to know what is going on. I want an explanation from these people as to why we seem to be at a standstill. I think each of us deserves to be updated. They have our e-mail addresses. I signed up for the email service 4 months ago and havent received one email yet.

Hang in there Dairy Farmer. Remember that getting mad or sad or upset only hurts you and your psyche. It won't speed this process up, and might make things harder on John. Remember that he's having a very hard time, too.

I'm not an eternal optimist by any means. Anyone who has read what I've written in here knows that. LOL

But, I do know that its vitally important to control our emotions through this. Keeping the downs from getting way down means a lot.

Try a new approach when you talk. Think of things that you will do when you get here and talk about them. A new house, a child, a vacation, the wedding. HAVE phone sex, webcam sex....whatever you have the capacity to do.

Just get up in the morning.......each morning......and be thankful that you have found the one person that you cant live without. A lot of people never find that type of connection. Focus on that notion...and try not to let your attention divert away from it for too long.

Did I mention to have phone sex or webcam sex?

Have a great Friday everyone,

Ryan

This is so stressful !!!

Was really hoping to see/hear good news this week.

Ryan

Thank you so much for the advices!

[DairyFarmer 1]

Ryan I know you are right. Its usually me who is the up one of John and I. So when I get down its bad for both of us.

I just feel let down. At least everytime an update came through in the past they it was at the very least moving forward. Going backwards even if it is only 3 weeks is a kick in the guts. Especially when you add the 4 weeks of the update, makes it 7 weeks total.

Okay here is my resolution for the next seven days I will not complain about the weather in the UK, or about the USCIS. Everyone help me please.
