First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to LUISH and Birdie on their NOA2!!! Fab news!!

woo hooo gratz looks like its just me and Kat&Allie left ( well of the active posters)

I think you are right, amberL, this is likely to become a very lonely thread indeed. You and me... Let's hope some of the others September filers who have not been approved yet join us soon...

If the recent VSC trend in approving petitions with RFE is correct (about 3 weeks after they resume case processing), we should get approved this week. What worries me is that it looks like one September filer got their 2nd RFE recently so now I'm worried we might as well. I know I should think negatively but it's getting more difficult to keep optimistic... And you know the worst thing is that I cannot bring myself to congratulate people who have been approved from November already. Feeling horrible about it but for crying out loud, let's get through June, July, August and September first, finish them off and then move on . Oh, well....

I’m feeling a bit down since I had to say goodbye to my baby yesterday but having him over here even for the weekend was precious enough. Just wish we could see each other that more often .

Hope this week will be a good one for all of us Sept. filers at whichever stage in the process we are.

hey guys, so i am trying to get organized, i am on the embassy site, and i cant seem to find where i DL packet 3 from, http://dublin.usembassy.gov/index.html

So i called the embassy and not 1 person could tell me exactly where to DL it from??!!

Please Help me. Maybe i am over looking it, but i honestly dont see it.

You are right, the Irish site is not all that usefull.

Try this link to London Embassy http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/iv/iv_15.html . All other forms needed for the interview are linked to in the little brown box at the top right hand corner of the web page. I wouldn't think you'd need any further forms although your checklist might be different from London one. What I'd do if I was in your shoes, is to fill it out and print it and wait for the packet 3 to arrive and see if there are any differences. If not, you'd be ready to send everything the next day or if lucky, the same day.

Good luck.

I definitely feel the same way as you, i cant congratulate november fillers who are being approved now. We filled way before them and have had to wait even longer then they did and why? no one can give us a satisfactory answer. Essentially we didnt do anything , we just got bad luck and are being forced to be apart from our loved ones longer. And the longer this is taking the more of an emotionally unstable person i am finding myself. I snap and am just generally very crabby, trying to make the best of it but i didnt think i was going to be 6 months to approval... and the thought of a second RFE makes me even more worried. Anyways hope your visit this weekend was fun. 2 and a half weeks til i go and see my hunnie! Im excited, but had a rough weekend...

Yea, I was beginning to feel pretty crappy too. To occupy my time and to at least make myself think I was making a difference, I began writing so many letters to government officials. Luckily, before I could really begin my onslaught, USCIS approved my petition (hehe).

Not really sure if it was the infopass appointments, letters I wrote, phone calls... or if it was just my time. But at least I knew that everyday I was doing something to show myself and my fiancee that I really did care and I really was serious. Corny? Yes. Did it help me? Yes.

Anything to get us through this waiting period... I've started making beads jewellery last night and it definitely took my mind off the NOA2. And I enjoyed myself immensely. Also, I'll have plenty of "sorry to leave you behind" gifts to give away once this waiting is finally over.

I just hope that we get an update on the website since my baby's computer decided to go belly up yesterday so we can't even get an email. Talk about timing

Well that is a nice idea to do to pass the time, I started packing a few boxes of just nick nacks and junk really, but that prolly didnt help, made me more anxious so dont do that lol. I got up early today and saw a touch today at 7 am, and im in the same time zone as VSC. Interesting. Well hopefully this is our week. or next week maybe. Or the next week...

[Kirsten UK 2]

AAww, I hope you both get your NOA2's this week.....someone at VSC seriously needs their backside kicking for taking so long, it just isn't acceptable to be approving November filers when you have a stack of September (and perhaps even earlier) files to clear......all they need to do is check the info you sent back...how long can that take????

Hello everyone, just stay positive and you all will be approved soon, I know it's very difficult staying away from your love one, but remember this: THE LONGER YOU WAIT , THE MOST EXCITING WILL BE WHEN YOU ARE FINALLY TOGETHER", we all are on this together,m and this is the best place to find comfort and support....

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND BLESSINGS....

Thanks everybody for your support, it does mean a lot. And you guys who've been approved, thanks for coming back and checking on us and thanks for your encouragement.

I know what you are trying to say Luish but I've had enough of waiting. I want to be with my baby NOW. Had enough of keeping my life on hold until somebody at VSC finally decides to dust some long forgotten files.

Well, I'm 3 days short of 6 months wait so will be moving over to 6+ months waiting club soon. And by the time I'm finally approved, I'll be ready to open jewellery shop with all the spare pieces I've made in meantime. Currently trying different designs for napkin rings to see which one I like the best.
