yeah that's what i got last friday... my papers have been excepted (rfe) and now it's in "final review" i am trying not to worry but it's starting to get difficult not to. :unsure:

Congrats Rajaa! You are so close! I am not too far behind you. We have everything done at the NVC except I was waiting on the ds 230 and docs and pics from my hubby. I should get that today or tomorrow and will overnight it to NVC. In Montreal they are already booking Dec interviews. I am hoping for an interview late Dec, but it may actually be Jan. I saw the post from you and had to say hello! Good luck! :thumbs:

Is there a spreadsheet tracking August approvals? Can someone please post the link. I have tried to find it on my own but have been unable and I would like to see how the August people are progressing. Thank you and good luck.

Aw CHD...here's a HUGE virtual hug for you.

Hang in there...everything will be fine.

Just think positive thoughts. Everybody had problems as a teenager.

Teenagers ARE problems. :)

Just remember, your husband is waiting for you at home.

The medical and interview are just formalities.

Just Satan knowing that he is being defeated!! :)

Really, I know what it is to wake up after a dream and you have that feeling ALL day!!

How would they know about psychology issues in your teens? do you have to tell them that?

You will be fine!

CHD, Please don't do this to yourself. Stop worrying and I understand the level of frustration but I promise nothing will happen in your interview or at the medical exam.

Keep your life for your husband and don't destroy yourself over these unimportant matters.

After all you are wife of a USC and you have rights to come here.

This is battle ground of our life; if you worry about every single action then you will certainly lose the war. Be strong as you have always been which has resembled a strong lovely couple.

Cheer up, you are almost there :dance:

PS, those nightmares are because of too much stress.

Thank you for the encouragement guys. And shrewdgal, they will know because I have various scars that will be obvious in a physical exam and require explanation, so there;s really no way to avoid it coming up. But yes, I just need to stop thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong and just focus on the end reward. Once I pass the medical I'm sure I'll be much calmer for the interview.

Check the Canadian forums...they may not even ask you to get undressed completely.

Plus, the doctor may not even ask about the scars if he does see them.

Think positive.

Hang in there CHD, staying positive is the key.

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

I was holding myself to say this at the very end but I should say it now:

People, We really flew through NVC with all RFE and day to day basis issue but when you look back we all did a great job. We have been helping eachother for every single issue that we had and that is the VJ family all about. I should thank every single one of you for keeping this thread alive so at least I can learn alot from this process. I don't want to name everyone here as my keyboard may break but I really appreciate all this hard work. "Shpat, I am not talking to you"

Well, as the life goes on and LingginL is busy till Nov 4th and Lars is busy till Nov. 4th and Martina is busy till Nov. 4th - What is going on on that day? I am not very busy except school work (Doin some Thesis)....

Happy another weeekend folks and enjoy your time,.
