Hi All

Congrats to all the filers getting approved! I know that Anna and Majid have dates very close to ours, so it brings me hope. I don't post much but I do read VJ daily and have been following the progress online.

We filed on April 23rd with a NOA1 on April 28th. We haven't gotten a touch yet, but I'm really hoping that it is any day now. It is really rough just not knowing what is happening. If I could plan, then I would feel like there is some control....

On the upside, our lawyer in Thailand (retained before I found VJ) says that the embassy is working quickly as they are not currently processing a lot of student visas that slow down the cycle at different times of the year. He says that interviews can be had in as short as two weeks instead of the usual 6-8 weeks. We have all of our paperwork just about ready to go except for the affidavit of support. The only reason that is waiting is that I am interviewing for new jobs. Hopefully I will be able to send that by FedEx tomorrow.

So hopefully in the next few weeks I will have a new life! I know that next year will bring wonderful things for us all.

Cheers and stay positive!!!

Chris

Good things are on their way soon, have hope. :) You're lucky, though, if the embassy is moving quickly. Montreal is having a heck of a time scheduling everyone, as it's the only consulate in Canada that deals with the CR1/IR1 visas, and only one of two consulates that deals with the K1. Even after NVC is done, I could be looking at a long wait.

OMG OMG OMG guysss we got the approval !!!!!! My hands are shaking I cant type but OMG I cant believe it!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Yours are comingggg too guys hang on

Congratulations! Another approval. :dance:

That is just fabulous news. :dance: Congrats John&Desi!!!

I didn't post much either until I got 2 'touches' this week. I was hoping that meant news of an approval or at least a RFE, but nothing since Tuesday. I think I'm going more batty now that that happened. Do they not have my email correct? Is there an RFE coming? Did they forget to update the file? Is this just standard torture for USCIS?

Congrats to all the recent approvals!!!

Maybe they're just enjoying reading that package of yours? :) I'm sure you'll hear something soon.
