Hello November Filers. My fiance and I are going to be filing hopefully this coming Monday which will put us in the December filers category.

I just wanted to say that reading all of your posts to each other and seeing the support and such great hope you guys have make me teary-eyed :cry: ha. I just wanted to say I wish you all the luck in the world. Everyone deserves the love of their life right beside them and I hope it's a happy ending for everyone on here.

Keep your chin up because every day that goes by is a day closer to seeing your loved one. Love doesn't give up, you'll win this one way or the other. :thumbs:

Hi Joe,

Nothing yet here, not that I expect anything soon, but fun to keep checking.

We seem to be moving on Igor's list, we are 297 after being as high as 322. CSC is cranking out approvals. Watching for the first August filer to get an approval, maybe today.

Hi,

I noticed a November 2008 Vermont topic, but didn't see one for California. Just sent my K1 in today- used fed ex because post office is closed today for Veteran's Day, so no mail. I guess we will see how it goes... Anyone else so far this month?

No new news on my case but wanted to share an observation. Seems like I've seen quite a few NOA2 approvals for September 08 filers. Could be a very good sign if it continues to be a 3 month wait but of course, we'd better not hold our collective breath! Happy Holidays to all and hope those of you who get to be with your sweeties have a purely blissful time!

Merry Christmas to all the November filers.

Joe,

Have a great holiday trip.

I'm off to see my honey in January. Hopefully these are the last holidays apart.

Merry Christmas to all the November filers. Looking for a late Christmast present (NOA2) around March/April.
