Yep, you are so right jokalu - apparently positive has no place here in this thread. Peeps just call names and attack you while defending their "right" to be obnoxiously pessimistic... It's appalling that some of the reactions were just, well, mean. As though no one had any right to look for any good anywhere because certain people are hell-bent on making everyone else just as miserable as they are.

I sure won't be looking for anything good here anymore.

I cannot begin to tell you how this pleases the rest of us.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I will join in your sadistic pleasure by doing the Happy Dance of Approval. Yep, not only did I get approved on time, but I also had missing documentation sent after the fact matched up perfectly! I sent an imperfect petition, and it was the likely cause of my approval coming a few weeks early because someone picked it up out of a pile and decided to just work on it.

Not only that, but the NVC mistakenly had the wrong embassy listed to send it to originally, but when I called to check I was able to get the error corrected in one day! Yep, one day. They were awesome. I'm a Lucky One. Doing a Happy Dance. Right here in front of you.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Or choke on it, whatever pleases you most.

Sod off. You're boring..you know that?

Oh..just go away. And take your superior attitude with you.

Oh, I'd be glad to leave everyone alone with their misery; unfortunately, it seems to be permeating everywhere.

Then perhaps this forum is the wrong place for you. There are others.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I think all of this is getting a little out of hand. I mean, if you're upset that you're away from your loved ones, vent about it. And if you're trying to be chipper and upbeat, share your positivity with everyone else in hopes that it will make them feel better.

I agree that this thread has been a bit more depressing this past month than it has been helpful. And if you don't like that (I can't say I do, but hey...everyone is under stressful circumstances) there are two ways of dealing with it. You can be all like "YOU ARE SO SPITEFUL AND MISERABLE. HOW DARE YOU BE UPSET THAT YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR NOA2 LIKE ME!", or you can share your optimism say "Hey everyone, remember why we're doing all of this! LOVE!"

I choose the latter.

And wow, Labhrais...just refreshed my page before I sent this...and now you're just being nasty.

Yes Cham, let's change the subject! Things are going well here. I'm fortunate enough to get to visit Sebastian a month from yesterday, so we're both very ecstatic and have been busy planning out our visit together. Our wedding/elopement planning is going really well, too! I have my dress, we have our venue, our photographer and we're working on our vows. Sebastian is writing a song for me to walk down the aisle to and we've decided to plan a big vow renewal reception at Christmas next year, so we're planning that. Lots of joy and love all around for us! Now we just need the NOA2. From the bottom of my heart though, I hope that every single person who applied before us is approved before we are. It's been difficult, sure, but I feel like we're taking things in stride more than a lot of people here are and I want those who are struggling more to have it before us. We're both very young, don't have overwhelming economic burdens, have been able to squeeze in one visit and, perhaps most importantly, we don't have kids who miss their mommy or daddy. You guys all really do deserve it ASAP and I'm anxiously keeping my fingers crossed for loads of approvals this week!

As for the wedding ring question, Sebastian got his when he was visiting the U.S. this summer. He wanted to wear some sort of engagement ring too (which I thought was really sweet!) so we bought his wedding ring and he's wearing it on his right hand. We'll switch it to the left on our wedding day.

I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what I want. Something with white gold and diamonds. The Christmas sales should help! We thought about having ours engraved too. I think this is South Carolina's motto or something, but Dum Spiro Spero means, "While I breathe, I hope" and we both think that really sums up a lot of our relationship.

And I absolutely love yours, Shannon and Nick!

I like that one, we should send it to USless !!

I agree about the border thing. I wish they'd give some sort of provisional paper that takes the uncertainty out of travel while this is going on. We could afford extra trips but who wants to roll the dice with $1500 and get turned away because a customs agent didn't get their coffee that morning.

iahmjpinoyDo you read your posts before you hit the Add Reply button?

Corinthians, yes I do read my post before I hit "Add Reply" button, otherwise my post would REALLY offend alot of ppl that don't like getting straight talk :unsure: . I like to think that we're all adults and don't need our hands held cus we can't handle the short separation that we are going thru.... I'm sure everyone had a 'life' before meeting their SO, did that all of a sudden go away and now your life only revolves around your SO??? :whistle: Sometimes tough love is hard to swallow when you keep feeling self pitty for yourself cus you're not getting what you want as you watch other ppl getting theirs... In real life, life is never fair....

Visiting your SO doesn't mean only coming to the US, how about visiting them in their country if you have the money so they won't risk getting denied and wasting the $1500 for the trip.. :whistle:

Seriously, I just want to thank the ppl that gave me 'congrats' and in a way wish I didn't post my approval as it seemed to cause a lot 'moaing' by others..

Good luck to everyone and happy holidays... and speedy approvals to everyone!!! As I'll be leaving this thread as it seems more ppl are getting depress/upset as they see others getting approved, which is pretty sad...(yeah-yeah, I know, YOU have the RIGHT.. :bonk: )

Ingats lage!!!

(to anyone who might take offense to what I just posted, feel free to get the last word in if it will make you feel better :thumbs: )

"No saan nga makaammo nga nangtaliaw ti naggapuanna, Saan a makadanon ti papananna..."
