I see that October has reached 50%. That was fast but now I am going bonkers. I am excited and the edge of my seat waiting. Who knows?! Good Luck today everyone! It sounds like there are a lot of teachers here. I miss my students in New York. I am looking forward to getting back to the Art Room once I am finished with this journey.

Where are you in the meantime? Are you in Nicaragua???

And yes, it did reach 50% pretty fast! Hopefully they won't start with too many Novembers til they get through most of October!

Yes, I am in Nicaragua teaching English and studying Spanish. I wanted to spend some time with my man before he came to the States. I figured being around me 24/7 would be one last thing he would have to adjust to once he was in the states. If we hear soon we may be able to get through the process and he could return with me at the end of March. If not I will return and hopefully come back to do the interview and fly back with him. I do not want him to be alone. I was thinking we would hear soon but now I have this feeling that it may be longer. Either way we are in it for the long haul and we will take it as it comes. I sure hope you hear soon. It must be so hard to focus on work. Do your students know what your dealing with? Mine where always so nosy. 'Hey Miss you look tired'...'Hey Miss something wrong?'...'Hey Miss you got a man?'

I am sending you NOA2 vibes...

LOL, oh yeah they're nosey. They are always asking "Is Josue here yet?" haha, they know nothing about the visa process and don't understand why he's not here yet. Shoot, what can I say? Before embarking on this process I didn't know anything about the visa process either and even now that I do I still don't understand why it takes so long lol...

Thanks for the vibes, and I send them back to you. It would be awesome to be able to bring him home with you, I'm going April 9-19 and I was hoping there was a chance he may be able to return with me, but it doesn't look like that will work out. Spirit Air (www.spiritair.com) flies pretty cheap and goes to Guatemala, might go to Managua if you wanna check it out. But...it only flies to some major cities in the US so it depends, but he'll most likely fly to DC (about 3 hours from me) but a one way ticket midweek is only $210 after taxes...that's for May.

Chelsea,

Thanks for this info about the flight. I have heard of Spirit and I think they do fly out of Managua. I hear of people flying into Miami. I have enough sky miles with Delta but I could save those for a few domestic flights. I may look into it. So do you think you will get through the process in enough time to go in April and return with your man....I think so. Congratulations again!

Thank you everyone for your benedictions. I hope that those still waiting receive theirs this coming week, which seems quite probable in light of how many petitions have been approved this past week.

It was great telling my fiancée. "Honey, guess what I received today?"

"You got my sweater?"

"Yes! It was sitting outside my apartment when I got home. It fits great. I love it. Thank you."

"Your welcome. I am so glad you like it. I wish I could see you in it."

"Oh, and we got NOA2 as well."

"What? Really?"

"Yes."

"Wow! I'm so happy."

It made her day. Anything that brightens her day is ok by me.

Chelsea,

So do you think you will get through the process in enough time to go in April and return with your man....I think so. Congratulations again!

Yea, Spirit gives nothing fancy, no movie, nothing free (bring a credit card if you want a coke or some chips), but they are the only ones I have seen who actually have one way tickets significantly cheaper than round trip. But again, they don't fly into that many places to the US, but DC has worked out for me several times since it's only 3 hours away from where I live. I know if you are planning to use your Delta skymiles, it's as much for a 1 way as it is for a round trip, so you might wanna save those for a RT visit ticket later!!! Just a suggestion, I am saving skymiles too and hope by next summer we can have at least 1 free ticket to go visit his family!

I sure hope he will be able to return with me in April and I'm actually kinda nervous that the interview might be before I arrive so I won't be able to bring the papers, I'll have to mail them and that makes me SUPER nervous - I don't want to risk losing originals of my birth certificate, divorce decree, and a scrapbook I'm working on! But if the interview is while I am there that will be the best timing ever!!!

Best wishes to all who are still waiting - VSC approved 52 this week!!!!! Keep it up and we'll all be talking about the interview/travel arrangements soon!!!!!

It made her day. Anything that brightens her day is ok by me.

Your's was a lot calmer than I was. I was on the phone with my mom and went to check the mail, not really expecting anything important, and I see something from USCIS. I rudely interrupted my mom and said "OMG I got a letter from the citizenship people" and almost dropped the dog's leash and the phone while I was shaking and trying to open it. I opened it nicely halfway, then got frustrated and ripped the envelope, looking for "Approval Notice" vs. "Request For Evidence," which I was fully expecting! Then I started saying "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG we got approved!" then immediately started crying and I mean not just tears of joy, but bawling, hyperventilating, etc. My mom kept saying "Chelsea, I'm happy for you, it's ok" and I just said "I gotta call Josue, I gotta go, I gotta go call Josue." The timing worked out perfectly because he had just gotten in the house and he was on his motorcycle before so he wouldn't have been able to hear me well. He said "hello" and I was crying "They approved us! We got approved! I have the letter right here in my hand, the first touch was an approval!" and he started with the "OMG" and the "Really?" and it was Friday at 4:55pm EST, so I said "I gotta go call NVC in case they close at 5" and I called (btw, they are open til midnight EST but I do think it's only M-F) and this guy named Clark asked for receipt number, petitioner's name, birthdate, and beneficiary's name, birthdate, confirmed my email, and asked for Josue's. Then gave me the case number and said "It looks like it already left for Guatemala on the 25th." Then afterwards I called Josue to find out what his family had said when he told them, then my mom called me back to see if I was ok, etc. But it was a good day - almost forgot I was sick! This morning my headache reminded me

But you all hang in there, you will all get your approvals very soon. It is a feeling without compare and I wish it upon all of you! Now to figure out what's next
