Thank you Lisa :) We will follow both and whichever one gets there first is the one we will go for. There is a big chance they will both get to embassy together unless our lawyer is super competent and can get us out of NVC for CR1 in 3 weeks then we can either get a May or June interview for CR1; If not, K3 might get out of AP early May (considering the 50-60 day average stay that Vjers seem to be stuck for K visas at NVC) and again we would be looking at a late May or more likely June interview. But I would love to hold the crown though ;) I need a QUEEN smiley with a crown on her head here :lol:

I almost posted a hit and run today but opted to simply post once I got home so I made it safely without hitting anyone on the way :rofl:

Jen, I love ur humor :lol: Jason might scare them into finally entering ur files and assigning u case #s!

My husband has been dealing with that for a long time now.. It has taken so long that people are constantly asking him "whats up man?" "did she file?" "is she not doing something?"

there is actually a rumor in Irbid now that we got D'd. :wacko:

i know it annoys him and adds to the irritation.

Jenn! Friday the 13th is lucky! :devil:

YOu sound like your in a good place about everything Gs, glad to hear :star:

"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!

I also want to thank u all for the support. I am feeling mushy 2nite :luv:

Happy Friday the 13th! :star:

If there is magic ~ praying it comes today cuz Lucky Thursday didnt work for us at all :(

Today is day 269 for I130 & day 209 for I129F, according to a call I placed to uscis around the 21st of Feb I was told it "shouldnt be much longer for a response & we should receive a reply way before uscis deadline of April 1st since our RFE was only a request for the foreign language marriage certificate."

Tomorrow marks 9 months since we filed our I130 ...

Well April 1st is 17 days away - are they really going to wait until the last day to approve us? I mean this is really just becoming really ridiculous.

Hope everyone hears whatever news your waiting for (F)
