....... Hopefully we will start to see some approvals soon, the USCIS black hole has been the longest 2 and a half months of my life. Get to head back and see her July 5th for 2 weeks!

good for you to meet with you wife again! i am cancelling my trip that was scheduled tomorrow because of real estate transactions, swine flu and being not knowing of when USCIS approves or REFs our case.

i don't think i can rely on the online case status, i don't see ANY update/touch since USCIS initially received my case, i rush home everyday after work in hopping to see something in the mail, i wish i would never deal with USCIS again in my life!!!

Happy 4th everyone! NOA2 will come, hope it comes SOOOOOOOOOON :blink::star::thumbs:

Sorry to hear about having to cancel your trip, I probably should not be going back so soon with as busy as work is but already been away from her longer than I ever had been since we met. I am thinking the same thing about the USCIS online system, not a single touch since mine was received. I got bad enough that I check the mail at lunch, was REALLY hoping to have it before this trip so I could give her some good news. Got the rest of the stuff together that my lawyer wanted me to bring for the next part of the process at least, does anyone know if it is ok for her police reports, medical, etc to be dated before USCIS?

the police reports is usually good for a year, but check with NVC for the country, not sure if you can do the medical now.

Anyone got tips on how to print out our call history from Skype? We both have good high speed internet so have been using that a lot more than chat since you can actually see each other, it saves the history but was wondering if there is a better way than just printing screen shots showing how much we talk. Hopefully we will start to see some approvals soon, the USCIS black hole has been the longest 2 and a half months of my life. Get to head back and see her July 5th for 2 weeks!

Hey there!

Sorry I couldn't reply to your note earlier because i wasn't on the internet for a week or so.

But on SKYPE is a forum and you can download chat history from Skype!

I did it but i just can't remember it anymore how I did.

Let me think... How i got there...

I think through visa journey, there was a question about skype history

or i did use google?

But when you type history or something like that at the skype website you will find a link on that skype forum how to get this!

And it works pretty fast!

Sorry i can't help you better, but there is a way!

Good luck!

Hello, does anyone know about visa pro? They email you your case status. I received an email from them and on their site it said my case was last updated 7/7/09. Does this mean i had a touch but it doesnt show on the uscis website?

Im confused and hoping.

Thanks, sweetcitywife

Hey all,

My husband and i got finally military expedite on our case after his commander wrote a memorandum!

Yesterday they approved it and USCIS website says last update 7/7/9 we got a touch!

It took a while for this expedite because at first they were not helpful at military helpline, so we started to email with them and before we knew what we had to do... than my husband was in training, but now expedite is approved!

Hope our petition get approved soon without RFE's and wish that for you all!

Take care!

That really sucks! They need to start. How hard is it to just check a file and to at least see if there is missing or not? Give us a status or something. Even a touch would make me feel comfortable right now. 3 months pass by and nothing?

We have been doing video chats, it actually saves a history of the call time, date, duration, etc on your computer but I can't find a good way to print them out where it is not just screen shots of Skype with the history displayed. Figured that is better than nothing but just wanted to know if I was missing an export feature for them or something

i did print that history, like from when my husband called me or i called him on skype, date, time, duration etc.

Its like you say, better something as nothing!

what i'm wondering though is if they took 3 months to expedite your case

then it looks like the rest of us are really gonna have to wait the full five months then :blink:
