We got approved today. I still can't believe it. No touches. Not even a breath. Yesterday I was so depressed I was going to stop checking timelines for awhile, sure that we'd be the couple still sitting here next year...

BUT WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!!!

Congrats to all the other approvals, and Bono, yours is around the corner. No way I got mine and yours isn't coming any minute. *hugs*

Hey! Look at that!! Congratulations!!! That's awesome!

And thanks for the well wishes! I hope you're right

Thanks, BL2B! I hope you're right! I'm getting a little concerned

Does anyone know if VSC operates on Good Friday?

[AmyStan 0]

Good Friday isn't a federal holiday, so VSC should be open. However, a lot of folks might take vacation time so it could be slow.

Thanks for the update AmyStan. As you can see, we are still clinging to hopes of an approval any day.

Love this site...provides us support during a time when you want to just pull your hair out.

Thanks everyone....for those of us still awaiting our approvals, keep the faith. One more day of waiting is one day closer to being together forever.

Thanks. I'm #176 right now and for a long time I've felt that #175 is the "magic number" for me. We'll see whether that feeling comes to any fruition.

I do hope 175 is the one for you. The day before I got mine I kept on 'seeing' random numbers that kind of 'stood out' in my mind and those numbers were the date and time we were approved... it was weird.

I kind of came up with a theory this week...(clearly you will notice I started going during this process)

When people ask why the approvals dont come through in the date order they're received. Other than those that get RFE's, I'm thinking and using small scale here. If you can picture what Im going to say it might make some sence

Lets say there are 10 people at VSC that work on these files, so there are 10 boxes standing there. As the petitions come in they dont all go into one box, they get divided between these 10 boxes. On a day there's only 6 petitions that come in, so each one gets put in a different box. The next day there are another 6 petitions that come in, the first one of that days batch get's put into box no 7 and so they go on dividing the petitions between the boxes. The big thing here is there's only 2 people that work real fast and smart, so they get through their box of files before the other 8. Thats why we see some of the early filers only being processed later....it's those 8 people who dont work smart

Did I just write all that?

You're right on point BL2B, but you know what they need to get there act together and approve the rest of our December filers.

You're not crazy for that theory! I believe that, too.... that some people work fast, some work slow, and some work at an "average" pace. That's why I usually hope that my paperwork is in the box of the fast workers.

Fully Agree, we all filed together, joined this thread together, supported each other along the way, so we now need to move forward together.

In the name of love we need our fellow December filers get their NOA2 to continue the journey together with those already approved

No approvals for today? Come on Vermont, it has been a terrific week for us December Filers don't let us down on a Friday.

Just some further information regarding our case, National Visa Centre received our petition from Vermont yesterday, so those of you who've had similar NOA2 date to us give the NVC a ring to check if your case has arrived.

You will need your Receipt number to hand and make sure you know your partners Date of Birth

Number to call is 603-334-0700, press 1 for English speaking and then 5 to speak to an Operator.
