congrats to those with approvals today. this does start to suck majorly though. out of the 20 last approvals only one had a noa1 earlier than ours. still waiting. frustrating.

I feel you morre.... USCIS is still trying to convince me on the phone that they are currently processing FEB applications. I cannot believe it... The only hope that they are giving me is that if it is not approved by Nov 13 they will further investigate my case. GREAT :angry: Well, I guess the only thing I can do is trying to be positive. K1 will be there eventually.... Congrats to all approved.... :thumbs:

Nat, try to stay halfway warm. I forgot that they don't turn on the heat for the apartment buildings for a while. I remember in kharkov last year they waited until the end of October for Iuliia's apartment. Not the most desirable thing, waiting for the weather to get colder for someone to decide heat is now needed. I do hope the heat is turned on when I go back. Actually, I hope it is in October and she has no heat, but a visa in her passport.

Hi Kirk! Yes I am trying :) Anyway I hope it will be turn on soon!! ^_^ Let's hope there will be heat in the building and visa in her passport.

[/color] Ana - Thank you very much. Yeah, I was a little worried that I couldnt pull off the trunk trick without having it written all over my face. Glad I didnt have to find out.

Jenni - Thank you very much. That would be great, and I hope the date is much sooner than any of us think

Tarantula - Thank you very much for the kind words

Marmite and Luckytxn - Thank you both very much

Nat and Jack - Thank you guys very much!!

I very much appreciate the words from all of you. Thank you for taking the time to say congrats.

And for those of you still waiting, who should have received theirs before me, I only can say I wish and hope that you're next.

Maybe you should ask Alex to say that. Cause it sure worked for me when she did.

Ryan

Still so happy for everyone :)

Got the email from NVC today that said that they sent the petition off to Montreal a couple days ago *didn't give exact date, but I'm gonna try the DHL trick* - it says it will take 10-15 days for Montreal to get it....umm, I know mail is slow, but that's kinda pushing it eh? LOL Just like all other USCIS timelines I guess...widely exaggerated so they THINK they won't disappoint people :)

So, I did the DHL tracking trick and it looks like the petition left NVC yesterday by DHL and is on its way to the Consulate in Montreal from The DHL office In montreal as of 10:25am (it was the only one going to montreal on the list, so I'm assuming it's mine :))

So yay! Looks like the Consulate will have our stuff by this afternoon :)

You are so welcome Ryan :) !

How is Chantal doing? She must be in heaven…

John called NVC today and they said that our package left last Friday 12/9 can that possible? Just after one day? Maybe we should call them again and ask for the tracking number!

It looks like you are going to spend the holydays with your sweetheart, crossing my fingers :) !

Time to tap the keg. Just heard from my arch enemy CRIS. It seems that they took my threats seriously. They were scared. I will be nice to them now.I guess that I can leave the mailman alone now.

We got approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to check it twice just to make sure is said "approved." I will take back most of my threats that I made towards VSC. Most, not all. I have to rely on them getting my petition to NVC. It said I was approved on the 15. My case status still says pending, but I got the e-mail. Time to call Iuliia. She will be happy, I think. Just kidding.

I am glad to get out of everyones way and let them get their approvals. I am really pulling for Nat and Ana. I've got to stick with the Russian speakers. No offense, just my home team. Now to get an interview date and see if I am going duck or boar hunting. Yes, what a man, I am going to help her immigrate and I am thinking of what I am going to hunt when I get there. Just spending quality time with her uncle.

Keep it up VSC.

Hey alex :)

I would assume it was possible :) they just know how kind you are and decided to ship it out fast! :D You will be here soon enough, how long is the embassy wait?

I dont think i'll get here for Christmas unfortunately...the wait times in Montreal are about 3 months, and I'm SURE they're gonna be way slower coming up onto Christmas. If nothing else, I will be home to see my friend have her baby at the beginning of December and another friend get married on the 30th or December. It would have been nice to be here with Bo for our birthdays (his is Jan 5th, mine is Jan 20th), but Im thinking it's gonna be Feb. Oh well, he's worth the wait :) You all will have to give me POE reviews when you come over so I'll know what to expect.
