Happy news can be found in the February 2009 Filers topic. It's exciting to look at their thread (and timelines) now and again to remember this IS gonna happen (for all of us!)!

Problem is in China, February is Lunar New Years (airline tickets are way more expensive). A huge family celebration that last about two weeks, so that will delay us in getting back. Good thing is all the family will be there so the Visa will be a great party enhancement. I hope the interview comes in Dec. (or earlier) so we can leave before New Years, or Feb. so we can be there for the whole family.

We kinda expect the NOA2 to come in July-August which will be cool because I will be there in China.

Wow, I just looked at the timeline data for CSC K1 filers and Feb. ones ran about a month from NOA1 to NOA2! There were hardly any K1s filed there in March so I think we all are in progress (fingers crossed).

Actually there are about 74 K1 filers in March @ CSC which is more than any other month this year so far. I am still hoping to receive my NOA2 by end of July 09. Good Luck.

There are not 74 listed in the K-1 timeline here which is what I looked at (I thought). Where did you get your data?

Has anyone ever seen this: http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments...fe_of_uscis.pdf I found it interesting. It looks like USCIS is keeping busy.

FYI - The above link is filtered to Unapproved Petitions and thefore does not show ones already approved. You can filter it to All Petitions to see both approved and unapproved, and get the numbers per month. Hope it helps!

Yep, I was looking at something else. No wonder we're waiting, the Marchers are clogging the pipeline!

Haven't thought about when to get married yet. I just want him in the country first. Plus most likely it'll be small. A few friends, a cake, some champagne. Done. We want to have the BIG wedding in Africa.

we are doing the same thing, we just said we'll get married in california just as soon as they approve us, then have a big wedding back home in Australia, I've seen some really nice places on the Sunny coast for a beach wedding.

"Sigh"

Try Oceano Dunes SVRA south of Pismo Beach, CA. You'll want to stick to the north side of the park - your wedding party can park their vehicles and you'll have facilities and not too large of crowds. The place is magical and you can return there on your anniversary - or just to rent quads!!

ooooh sounds very nice, is it near san diego?

Oceano Dunes is on the Central Coast - Near Morro Bay and Hearst Castle. Great places to visit while in that area. Don't forget the Clam Chowder is incredible there!
