May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC

[Hannah+Vito 0]

I think it's the proof of meeting/relationship that gets me most anxious. I keep thinking of *new* things to add to the application, and then keeping scanning and sending Chris more documents and I'm all, "Check your e-mail! Print those documents! Life and death!" I feel really nervous that I'm not the one mailing it off to CSC because I've been reading up like crazy on the process and Chris really hasn't. I find all sorts of new things to worry about all the time.

You know what? I was too! Vito even had 130 pages of skype chat that he didn't know what to do with. But the others were really helpful and said that the petition is to establish that you have met within the last two years and at the interview is when you establish bonafide relationship. So in the end we sent photocopies of my tickets from the last trip, copies of some tickets for his train with my name on from said trip, I think he sent a reciept of his trip when we first met and photocopies of the stamps and picture pages of my passport. Then we sent some photos of us together and I think in the end he did sent a small selection of the chat but not too much. I must admit I did find other bits I wish we had sent but It was too late by time I found it. If they need more they can rfe us. Worrying just gives you an ulcer.

get him to sign up to here if you want him to read up more.

Yes, tell me about ulcers! Wow, the first month after I sent our I-129f out to CSC (May 29th) I kept thinking of this and that and even things I would need later in the process and I drove myself nuts. I have my moments when i feel like there is so much ####### to wade through that it seems impossible that there will be a day I am with him again. Then I have my days where I think "Erika, why worry 99% get approved you need not worry." Then the sad days, the blah days and some happy ones thrown in between. Then........it starts all over again.....stress stress stress.

Happy day when we can all look back and think "why did I worry so much?" Instead, we will be upset about the socks on the floor or how he keeps leaving the toilet seat up or her annoying friend or how she talks on the phone during dinner....whatever.... I look forward to the day he is with me everyday and all the annoying and wondeful things that come with it.

Happy day to all!

well said erika,

it's refreshing to know i'm not the only person(s) going crazy over this whole procedure.

I think it's finally sinking in for Sarah...we had a long talk yesterday about it, and she was stressing out about things we're not even ready for (AoS, flights, jobs etc)...

I long for when we get to start the next stage of this process. Waiting is so hard.

I love the 15th of the month the VCS and the CSC get cracking and when the update comes through those out of servicing standards jump off the list.

So first I'm happy and then I get the guilts about being higher up when others are now on "Still waiting for NOA2 from CSC K-1 I-129F up to 3 months beyond the CSC processing time"

I really don't want to end up on that list.

Neither do I...though it looks like March filers are getting theirs going!

I think we're looking good...We're at 250, so it's good to see progress!

I don't mind waiting a bit longer (for success that is, I have been tortured enough by the wait alone and not knowing), I just pray that I don't get a f-ing denial or RFE and provided enough info. Paranoid to hell about that.

I didn't give a mountain of evidence (we only took two pictures together, not realizing we probably would want more, plus few phone records, even though I can supply an absolute mountain of them, along with emails, and several things sent through DHL), that's for sure, but she did go through customs when she visited here (her one trip to the U.S. and only time seeing me) with the destination given as the hotel and address that I submitted to the USCIS, as evidence, showing my email confirmation as paying for the hotel room on my credit card with the same address info.

i'm sure you will be fine, and if any of us do get rfes its not a denial just that they want more or we missed something and proof they are working on your case. i know vito sent in seven photos and photo copys of my two visa stamps. i think he sent in a small selection of skype chat but not much i can't remember how much and a photocopy of a train ticket when i rode his train while he was working but it has only half my name on it and not got specific train time on it so could have been any of those that day if it wernt for his holepunch. oh and a photocopy of my itinery and plane ticket. anything else i'm unaware of

Its great when a plan comes together!

I'm hoping for another great week, but don't have a goal just yet, will wait to see how Monday goes. I would love to sprint to the finish now.

Its easy to stay positive when things are progressing a bit faster!

Yeah I went down from the 260s to 235, then jumped up to 236, then 237.

Checking Igors is more addicting than crack.

Yesssssssssss tell me about it...at this rate we will all be approved within 2 months or less. How the hell do I go from the 290's to the 240's in 1 week?? Wowwww What number is everyone else?

[stardusted 0]

Igor's List is a new discovery for me, and much more fun than the USCIS website. We were at 273 a few days ago and are at 244 right this second. Crazy movement.
