Maybe Fred.... I'm starting to wonder if this is all going to turn out like Mr and Mrs Smith..... Or if VSC has just taken to using my file as firewood to keep themselves warm over the winter....

your file? What file? You dont have a NOA1 right? What makes you think they have a file? SORRY, just kidding - probably not so funny for you. I am sure your NOA2 will come soon.

Congrats Dispozo!

.... I kill you!!!!

Lol just joken, I know they have it, they are warming their tooties and roasting marshmellows by it whilst we speak....

Edit: Woot! Queen!!! I demand VSC and CSC stop jerking around the August Filers, get off their butts and send us our NOA2's, and some of those roasted marshmellows whilst they are at it...

What is up with CSC?

It seems that both centers cannot BOTH work fast at the same time...it would be a MIRACLE if both warped approvals at the same or fast rate...

but it is always either VSC way ahead or CSC way ahead...

:angry::wacko:

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)

Oh my goodness... I can't stop my tears. Approvals are really coming in.

Mara, MARM, Dani, Mia and all the others still waiting, you are all in my prayers. This experience has been really humbling and I can't believe just how much strength everybody here has. Thank you all guys for being each other's support system ever since the start.

My mother is in the hospital right now as she has been feeling faint since Sunday and is having some pain on the right side of her tummy. When I brought her to the hospital last night, they found out that her blood sugar was at the 400s and they were all trying to bring it down the whole night. She's now still at 160 and they will monitor her for the rest of the week. I am glad she finally went though as she hates hospitals. I was feeling really down earlier. But seeing all of you getting by and exploding like crazy when someone gets an approval and pushing each other up, I still consider myself lucky. What are the odds that people I have never even met personally would be my friends and would be the very set of people who would hold my hand (virtually :) ) and try their best to put that smile back on my face. These things surpass religion, culture, race and geography. The Big Guy up there has every good reason why we are all here. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

Ok guys... Let's bring 'em drums and party poppers and rock the house!

USCIS - WE NEED THOSE NOA2s NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will go back to Mom now. Hang in there everyone! Talk to you all soon!

People and business could be adjusted to bad weather up north. Considering that they see bad weather every year. I think that snow should not effect their working days.
