I understand the reasons why you are so desparate/anxious to have a noa2 before Vito gets there, Hannah. And I really, truly hope you get it this week. For Melannie and I it isnt going to matter much if its this week or next, and if it were possible I know we'd gladly let you cut in line if that was an option.

I hope you'll get yours this week, but I also hope you'll be able to stand the disapointment if you dont. USCIS seems to be much better at letting us all down than they are at anything else!

Ain't that the ###### truth.

I know most of you have seen the thread about why USCIS processing times are growing these last couple months.

I wonder if its true, or its just another of those rumors that runs rampantant about the men-in-black.....I mean USCIS. I think thats one of the biggest problems, how little they tell us about whats really going on. Its run like some type of secret police organization or something.......

I'd just say it's a lot like other government administrative jobs. I see this in my college campus too, when I worked there with the staff as a campus library lab assistant / admin. It's an attitude of "I'll get to it when I get to it". It takes the employee committing murder to lose their job. This is what concerns me about the adjudicators, if they're in the same position. Then you're entirely at the behest of someone else, much like your chances of getting turned back at POE with a pending K1.

Anyways, plenty of people do get their approvals so I don't want this to make it seem like I'm cynical. Just realistic, but very upbeat about it. In all honesty I didn't expect my NOA2 until January. When it gets into November and still no NOA2, then I'll get concerned. I sure as hell hope not though.

Hannah, have you started putting together Interview stuff? That takes a lot of time. I started in August and man, it's a lotta work. I'm compiling chats and emails (I drained my printer's ink cartridge at work...oops...... .. and I have to go through and "censor" which ones I can include ) Also compiling phone and skype records, an album of pics, photocopies of boarding passes, etc. That's something you could do in the meantime.

I'm getting ready for that too. I've been saving all call logs from Vonage and ready to print them out. Looks like it's about 150 pages of phone calls. In the first month of Vonage, a year or so ago, when I was doing part time work study, full time school, I was averaging 8,000 minutes a month with her. That didn't include the cell phone time. Now, working full time, its around a reasonable 3,000.

Not going to include many chat transcripts as they include personal data, same with emails. I think the 2394829034 phone calls we have, as well as my UPS receipt sending her birthday present, is enough. It cost me $250 to send her birthday present, about as much as what I spent on her presents. Ouch.

"HERE HERE" - SRVT!

Weekends are slow, but we have seen a few approvals in the past week, which is great! We are following.....

I have everything ready - mock forms filled in, police report, med docs, passport pictures, tax returns (his), lots of evidence and all that is let for me to do is print off a few phone bills. Ahhhhh.... Just waiting on the go ahead from CSC!

How is everyone else doing with the next step?

[cca 13]

haha. yeh you are right but don't get me wrong i'm not unhappy that everyone else is getting their approvals, i'm really happy for them, i'm just finding the being kept hanging harder and harder knowning that it could/couldn't happren any day now, and i really wanted Vito at my medical if not my interview. but i need the nvc number for it.

i was with Vito in april too that was my last holiday.

oh and i allways need a good talking to, thats nuffing new

Hey Hannah, Just a quick question..you keep saying about having vito there for the medical but dont you have to wait for package 3 in order to book your medical?Or is thee a way you can actually do it before? (if there is im doing it )

Ive put a 4 week wait (well now 3 weeks ) till i get my package 3 from my NOA2 date...Just curious

Apparently you just need your number from the Nvc that apply to your case. Well thats what I was told from countless asks on here.

I have been told this....

"You can't schedule the medical until you've been given an appointment."

From what I've read, you can schedule your medical while you are waiting for Packet 3 to arrive--I believe one of the January filer's fiance did that. I think you just need your embassy number (for UK filers, it would be "LONXXX..."). I could be wrong, however...
