"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Oh Boy I think I messed the heck out of that last post with quote overkill! :rofl: I guess if u include too many it freaks out on u.

me too. When all my stuff was stolen in Costa Rica back in March of last year it took me forever to replace everything. The passport was Number One. I had to go and wait in line in Phildelphia for one hour only for them to tell me I had to pay an arm and leg and then come back in an hour.

He just doesn't want to be wrong I think.

Hey Steve...good to see you. How are you making out at NVC?

Thanks ... I feel kinda bad that I haven't been around much this week ...

I'm calling Kiev tomorrow. They should have the paperwork by now and I'll be trying to set an interview date. Looking at April 20th ... I'll let everybody know ;)

Since we are going K3, now it's just a matter of some paperwork for Ksenia. She downloaded packet 3 from the Embassy site and has it all filled out already. She'll get her police records in 2 weeks and she & Sasha are getting their medical next Friday.

I think I have everything I need ... except a plane ticket to Kiev :(

welcome beta :)

Yes ... welcome! :thumbs:

I just got off the phone with USCIS. I made sure I was the first bright and shiney voice they heard today...

I received an RFE for medical. Same one I received last time when I requested and expedite due to my daughter's condidtion.

I called this morning to find out WHY they sent that to me since that was not my reason for the expedite request this time. She checked in the sysytem and she read me the expedite request. It is stated that I requested ERROR. Must have been a computer Glitch from yesterday. She did tell me all the computer systems were down yesterday. That includes VSC. So, that could be the reason we didn't hear anything at all .

So do they pack up and go home when the computers are down or do they continue to process the petitions???

Today is HUMP DAY. An approval today would get me over the hump.

I sent a huge box to my husband and his family VIA a Costa Rican delivery company. I sent it 2 weeks ago. I was informed that it would arrive today. I really hope it brightens their day.
