I bet they have a big sticket on their monitors or phone that says the samething over and over, HAHAHAHAHA.

But I can also imagine the volume of calls they receive from frustrated people who are waiting and waiting and looking for answers, when when when!

PM me for any AP or AR relating to the NBI

They have to have a sticker and every singel one of them says the same thing. Well i don't think anybody wants to call them if they do whatever they suposed to do.

Well vermont filers, it looks like this may just be your week, so far VSC has approved INFINITELY MORE petitions than CSC, that's right, INFINITELY MORE! With that kind of ratio I don't see how vermont filers could make it to the end of the week without an approval.

The down side is so far it's 0 approvals CSC and 1 VSC... all I can say is CSC apparently has two speeds now, warp and snooze...

Where can I view this information? i would like to know the number of Vermont approvals. Any website?

Oh Lord we are all a mess, by the time our SOs come to the USA we will be so F8K%d up that you guys will need the blue pill :rofl: and the girls K-y Jelhy. :rofl::rofl::devil::rofl::rofl:

Yikes, august is a thread full of injury prone people with medical problems... proof this process is stressful?

Next time I talk to my fiancee, she'll be telling me about her medical, today is a huge day for us, I think if the medical goes normally then we are home free! (Well, with the exception of the visa not being delivered before the flights are scheduled to leave... but going to try to pick them up instead of get them delivered, all mail people end to have a hard time finding her house, not just the regular mail but UPS and DHL, etc).

Yes this is true,

Since I got back from the PI the ankle that I sprained and thought was ok swelled up and had to be wrapped again due to the cold weather, I can't wear contact lenses for 2 days now, havent has a decent nice sleep since I got back on the 16th, lastnight I was able to manage 2 hours of sleep, better than nothing eh?
