I am hopeful for the visa to process fast, but also hoping it will take either exactly 6 months for the whole thing or a little more. My honey is in the army for a year and we filed it soon after he began. Maybe we'll delay interviews to that he's still able to get here within the allotted 6 month period after the visa is approved.

AHH I sometimes hope not to get lucky and get it all finished in 4 months! Very flip flop on it, I'd love to have him sooner...I miss him :blush:

01/23/2009 ----------Leave Athens and my Honey for the processes to begin

02/10/2009 ----------Beginning of Greek Military Obligations for 11 months

03/21/2009 ----------Stationed to Rhodes

07/16/2009-----------Meeting in Spain for 6 days!

08/27/2009-----------Stationed to Nevrokopi

01/10/2010-----------Gets OUT of the Army!

02/16/2010-----------Interview!

02/24/2010-----------Lampros arrives in WA!!!

He didn't just want me long, he wanted me a little longer than forever... :3

Hi Feb VSC guys, sorry I have not been very vocal on the thread but have just had amazing news that Julie and I have been approved!!! We are so excited. After the last few weeks of nothing happening we were getting pretty frustrated so this is such a blessing. We got our NOA 1 on the 2nd of Feb so 3 and a half months is amazing. I wish all the other Feb VSC filers the best of luck. Cheers, Chris x x

Congratulations Chris and Julie! It is so great to hear a Feb VSC filer get an approval! It seems there have been a few approvals starting to trickle out (via post) and I hope this is a sign of a flood to come over the next couple weeks.

Thanks for sharing your great news and I hope NVC and USEM are equally as quick!
