Well, mail run was unsuccessful. Only thing there was Nights in Rodanthe from Netflix. I guess I'll just have to make myself some comfort food, watch that, and have a good cry...maybe afterwords I'll feel better! :star:

Congratulations on all the recent approvals. I just got back from JA and I was hoping for a surprise NOA2 but none so far. I am getting excited seeing so many october approvals though because I know its coming real soon.

Congrats to all new approvals...I must admit, the excitement of seeing others being approved is dying a little. I'm still very happy for everybody but it's hard to see everybody getting approved and we don't even have a touch. I guess it's just me being tired...my kids are trying to adjust to crashing at grandma's house since I just sold my apt...so not much sleep here. Plus, as I said before, I'm expecting a RFE...so I NEED some movement already!!!!

Let's stay hopeful people...approval will come for all of us :)

Because i was too stupid to put LOADS of proof that we met within the 2 years of filing....all we put were the birth certificates of our daughters! We see each other almost every 2 weeks, so we could've put alot more...but trust that I'm ready for that RFE!!!! BTW my SO is Trini....goooooo west indies!!! LOLOLOLOL

Tom and Carol, you said you were signed up for automatic emails and didn't receive any? And your online case status didn't change either??? I'm going to check my mail box right now!!!!

Yea remember when i asked you about that email that said i got transfered..... i called uscis and the lady told me i was not transfered??? so i am assuming the email was my approval cause thats the date on the noa2... My online status still didnt change... this is what it says.... I have NOA2 sitting right beside me.

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

this morning florida time (feb 25) my fiance and i were chatting and i was so sad cause i miss him so badly and felt so low cause all we can do is to wait till we hear from them.

checked his email and there was no email from cris. he left to go to work then i dont go much in uscis to check our case cause everytime i go there i turned seeing case pending. AND cant believe this morning i saw WE GOT APPROVED last feb 23'2009!!!!! "i acted like crazy im crying same time jumping and shouting for joy i even kissed and hug everybody here at home!!!! and i used to pray to have it on my mom's bday (feb 25) or this month and it was a miracle we have it this month and found it out on my mom's bday too. hehehe

thank you god, thank you hubby, thank you vj and the people here!!!

Ok, well thats good that you are prepared for it, it usually does not take that long for the NOA2 after the RFE is sent back from what i have read. Thats great that you get to see each other so often its so hard being lonely for a couple of months and for some years.

LOL, yeah im definatly feelin the West Indian Love
