well the attorney we spoke to before filling did say their financial year was sept to august and at the begining they hire more staff and then towards the end they get put else where. though to be honest i think its more to do with the fact that we are getting further away from the 2007 summer when they uped the filling fee apprently it took them longer because of the extra load they had.

Just being silly, just wanted a PM.

I think you maybe referring to the one next to your own timeline on VJ. This can change when people on VJ update their timelines. The dates are averaged. So it can go back and forwards, based on the total of all relevant info. We jumped too

how is everyone? Vito and I had amde it to 140 on igors last time i checked good huh? hope everyone is doing fine. i'm nackered just done a charaty gig at the bar where i work so custom was quadrupled even though it had to be done indoors as it was peeing down with rain all day and noise volume was amazing.

hmm they say things start happening around the hundred amrk on igors.... do you think they can get through 40 approvals in two weeks?

how funny the timeline is saying the first possible date of approval for us is the day after Vito arrives for his visit.

One can only wish.. for a speedy process and a hard working adjudicator having their petition.

Place your bets.

i'm suprised one of my regualr bar flies hasn't already been in the local willam hill already and put one on

thinking about it, thats what 20 approvals next week and 20 the week after, its possible plus next week is the 15th of the month,proccessing time update week plus a sudden surge in out put too. i recon if we have the same luck as the appril lot we will at least see the first may filer in the last week of august.

hmmm i wonder what odds willaim hill would give me? did you ever get the story of the elderly terminally ill man who won a hell of a lot off of them, some thing like 100 thousand cos he bet that he would live longer than the six months the doctors had given him?

really old story

I'm not as optimistic, but I'm certainly not against having that many approvals!

It's really a dream scenario, since I'm going to Greece for Xmas+New Years, for me to visit there, with Betty having her visa in hand, so she can come back with me. Anything that heightens those chances, I'll cheer for more than my own hockey team.

my dream senario is to be able to have my interview and medical while vito is here from25th sept till 9th oct. but the timeline is suggesting thats when the noa2 will happen, but we will see dreams still do happen, or wouldn't be engaged to the most amazing man right now

i think january visa complete approvals would be the complete outside amrk for may filers, who knows if you get your noa2 in sept, and not may go through the greece embassy as you say, she amy even have her visa in hand well before you intend to visit.

We have to expect weekends to be slow, unfortunatly. I'm trying to look forward to the update on the USCIS processing dates this week, and a big jump.

Trying to stay positive, it only took 3 weeks between the first March approval, and the first April one. Looking at it that way, a few of us may see approvals late this month.

Melannie and I met in a speed dating cell phone application. Strange but true! How'd you other May filers meet?

I'm a barmaid in a small hotel, in New F$$$ all to do Romney, and right before i went in to open up the bar at 6:30pm (thurs 23rd aug 07) my dad tells me there are some Americans staying in the hotel, well i got in and Vito, his dad, and his dads friend were already in there with drinks, . Vito turned around and saw me and just smiled at me. after that he kept turning and smiling at me. then he tried talking to me, then for the next three nights he was super glued to the bar and asking me if i wanted to go for a walk with him. on the sat night we had a charity gig and my sister was there, and she invited him to come with us the next morning shopping in a near by town, so on my day off we spent the day together (26th aug) and the rest is history as they say. so i'm glad they chose to come to my town even if i thought they were nuts too

We both visited this one game forum, got fed up with their childish rules, went to a user-made alternative forum, started actually noticing each other in the forum's little chatbox. She was going through a majorly hard time with her ex, who was utterly paranoid and insecure of everything. Basically a little girl. Came from Germany, refused to speak Greek, treated her like ####### because of his own insecurities, yadda yadda. So he's back in Germany now being happy, and she's being treated like a woman should be. We never visit either forum or chat anymore, just talk via Teamspeak/Phone/IM.

The short version is, we were friends for a while, I initially tried helping her manage her relationship, until eventually all the details creeped out, and helped her leave it. After I thought she was past the guy enough, I decided it was worth myself trying to be with her. We were highly attracted to each other, and it was more than evident when we met in San Francisco. Kinda made plenty of people feel uncomfortable the way we kissed in front of the baggage claim. I imagined everything would go smoothly and it did. Just one of those things where things just click on every cylinder. Communication is perfect, and all of the.. *other* things.

Both of us came into the relationship with realistic expectations, as well as patience and understanding, and it's that which is enabling this relationship to make it through what will likely be the toughest time. And for the record, not all people are rational. We both manage each other's bad sides well.

Btw, for you Britfolk, here's the story of the only time I ever went to England, in 1999... trying to type this fast since I'm off work in 3 minutes..

Mom was involved with an Englishman, who turned out to be just as insecure as my ex's ex. But while we visited, had an ok time. Stayed on a house boat in the Norfolk broads area for 3 weeks. Got seasick. Had an ear infection. Visited MANY Virgin music stores.. and there's no shortage there. Never see them around here. The music was ridiculously expensive compared to the cost here (import tariffs, perhaps). Wished they would take me somewhere fun since I'm not much of a "cathedral" or "sights" person if there's no lively entertainment like theme parks (which they apparently weren't into). I had my first ever migraine while there in England, and to put it in perspective (since I had never had one before, and never had once after), I was walking across one of the streets in one of the towns (Norwich?) and it was pounding so bad, I couldn't make it across the street, fell to my knees, put my head in my hands, and just gritted my teeth.

I actually rather enjoyed the pub food (not sure if this is a good or bad thing), and the beer was very nice as well. There was a girl that piqued my interest at the time, who is not important now.

When I left, I kinda had an ear infection. I tend to get sick everywhere I go that's not in California or the West Coast. When on the plane, you know, when your ears pop.. well.. my ears wouldn't pop. Wasn't so much a problem on the ascent, but for the descent, it was the worst plane experience ever. My head felt like it was going to explode. Tried gum, tried opening my jaw, tried everything but they wouldn't pop. Finally it felt like my ears just blasted like in those cartoons that is followed with the sound of a train "toot"ing, to signify one being mad.. ringing.. then nothing. Deaf. Was like this for 3-4 weeks. Being like that sounded like when you're in the shower and you have water+soap in your ears. You don't hear sounds, you hear movements and reverbs. I heard my own heart beating when I was running. Was pretty messed up.

Hopefully my trip to Greece for Christmas will be much better.
