Congratulations! And I hope VSC finishes up the week on a roll.

There doesn't seem to be any rhythm nor reason to they way they process things. Logic seems to be almost thrown out of the window! Imagine if everyone else worked like that and you were standing in the queue at the supermarket and they missed out the person at the front, served the next person, then missed you out and went 5 people down the line! :rolleyes:

Wow. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly be more impressed with VSC...

2 more approvals today. Now that's progress...

:blink:

Why do they keep approving everyone around me and not even breathing on my petition?

My fiance left today and it feels like the end of the world. I want my Noa2 :(

Congratulations to all the new approvals this week!! :dancing:

To all those that are still waiting for approvals i know how crucially painful this wait can be, especially seeing everyone else around your timeline getting their approvals. Stay strong we are all fighters and we've have been going strong since the beginning. The end will soon arrive, i feel lots approvals coming in the weeks to come, this month is THE month.:star: I'm personally saying a prayer for all my Dec. VSC filers for approvals soon, cuz i want to celebrate with everyone else. :dance:

I feel sooo bad for people like you. It's s not fair. You were a month before me. I don't understand how this works and why it's sooo unfair. I really hope you get yours soon!

Your words are soothing and encourging that so many of us in this process truly feel the same struggle at times, very late at night, just thinking about that damn file sitting on a desk, in a cabinet, our lives almost hanging in the balance. I wonder if that processing agent looks at that file as someone's life or just a security threat. A bit dramatic, I know.

The way I look at it...41 years to find the true soulmate to my dying day is so worth waiting for. (L) Life is a journey; grab it, hold it, experience it, and never, ever let go.

To all of you, us, who wait in the wings for our NOA2 and approvals...our day is coming. One more day of patience towards a lifetime of bliss and experiences with the one you were TRULY meant to be with.

Ok, the soapbox just crumbled beneath me....lol. :P

This is a great forum and I appreciate those who put their time and effort into sharing and believing in a true purpose.

Hi everyone, first time poster (I think?). I've been around for awhile, but thought I'd join in the fun. Milena and I are waiting as patiently as we can.

I don't have our relationship timeline up yet, but we've been together 4 years. It's been an endless struggle with patience. I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A NOA2 would certainly brighten that light!

Best of luck to all of you.

Oh, quick question - I saw another petition for a Brazilian in here - if Milena is from Sao Paulo, does she still have to go to Rio for her interview?

Thanks in advance.

-Ken

BR_Joshua have fun! lol

Everyone else, maybe if we sing Vermont a song they'll work more efficiently :) lol

I think something uplifting to make them happy and work faster. But I don't have much of a singing voice so maybe I should play the spoons or something like that! :whistle:

I hope VSC gets on a roll and shows VJ what they are made of. I feel guilty that I was approved this week while so many others are still waiting. Waiting sucks - especially when you can't do anything but wait :angry:
