April 2009 Filers

Only three approved? I lost my engagement ring

how did you lose your engagement ring, lost it in a bet that you would get your noa2 today?

I took it off to do the dishes that is what i remember. I don't know what i did next

*hug*!!!! I'm so sorry, I hope you find it.

Far as them jumping all over, you have to realize, it's not as if we're all in one big pile in perfect dated order... We're all thrown into mildly organized boxes on a shelf, boxes that are then taken out by individuals and processed on their time. Although it isn't very much fun, it's somewhat understandable that Mister A might be working on Box 1 (containing files 1-80 ), while Mister B pulls Box 2 (containing files 80-whatever) and starts working on that himself.

And then, of course, when File 25 can't be found in Box 1, 2, 3, whathaveyou... That's when it gets really fun.

How about when MR B takes a month or 2 off for maternity leave and the box is left sitting till she gets back...

Like I said, we got a management problem and it needs overhauled quick. Fire 3/4 of them and bring in Marines

You feel just like so many of us, to bad there wasn't some justic in all of this madness, but all we have is to wait for these people to get off there behinds and do what they are paid for, WORK and put out all noa2 for the April filers

Humm seems like a very slow day today (other than one May filer who got a NOA2)

Well, I guess this is how the March crowd feels...hahaha. 70 something left in April (plus all those left in March and let's not even mention those before them) and they have started May...that's about what it was with March right?

Yeah looks that way. It will be 5 months for me in a couple of weeks and after that I am going to start smoking..and drinking.

Hahahahaha...me TOO! And I'm talking hard liquor, none of that sissy stuff...haha. I'm laughing so I won't cry my eyeballs out!

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with my Raspberry Smirnoff Twisted Ice coolers... They may be sissy, but they taste sooo goooooood...

Mmmmm thats my favorite. I wish I could have our NOA2 as soon as possible so I can taste it again. I guess red wine will do for me right now since we're just starting our 4th month. In 2 weeks I might be considering going back to smoking and hard liquor too :cry:

So are we (march and april filers) forgotten already? I know its too early but I'm starting to feel really miserable :unsure:

Don't worry *hug*, they haven't forgotten...they just have a fire under their you know whats right now...haha. I think they will be all over the place, just like someone else said We just have to pray for a little luck

And don't worry, I feel a little miserable sometimes too...it's hard being away from the one you love! It just proves our love and commitment to that person, and that's beautiful

I dont know what would i do without my VJ family

Me either...this is where I find comfort

Ohhhh and as far as firing and hiring marines...I'm all for it...woooo-ha. Or maybe they can hire those construction workers from the cell phone commercial that get things done in 2 minutes....that's what they need! Whatever will get their behinds moving and us closer to our loved ones!

If you were to ask me, I would say fire all of them and bring in only people that has been threw this visa process them self, then I bet you would see the petitions fly out of there in record time. Get some people in there that has felt the hurt and the pain from being away from the one they love and want to be with, like all of us have felt.

Who has been feeding you this kind of information? There is no way a box of March is still on the shelf and all of a sudden WOW we are into May. No way will I beleive that they could pass up so many petitions and move 2 months ahead. We got a big problem, and it is called management!!!!

I didn't say it was on all of the old files were waiting shelf. I said that multiple people are processing files at any given time, and so it's not always going to be in an order of sorts.

There was a long FAQ that described how the offices worked from a former employee's perspective. I'm not in any way disagreeing that management is lacking over at VSC (and most government offices). I'm simply saying that one person could be particularly slow in processing one batch of files, while another employee has moved onto another set.

And I 100% concur about bringing in employees who had only been through this themselves. Imagine how emotion the workplace would be though...

Hi everybody, well in 1 weeks time after receiving the noa2 email.. I received the hardcopy noa2 and then I called NVC they already had the case file, gave me the case number, then today I got the NVC Letter!!!!

I know what a hard thing it is to wait... but take a little comfort that the rest of the process seems very streamlined and working very good and quick!

Congrats!

Immediate next step? Breathe sigh of relief, I'm sure. And maybe, if you haven't already, start filtering through what files you need to have gathered for the Packet 3 list, as some of them can take a couple of weeks to come in the mail, etc, if you don't have them buried away in a closet somewhere.
