[Starlight95 1]

I'm going home to be with Brian soon! I had been pleasantly approved for that to happen three hours ago.

God is fabulous!!!

CONGRATS!!!! I was just thinking about you and had no doubt in my mind that you would be approved. My prayers came true . For some reason I kept thinking tomorrow. Maybe because we in the states are a day behind.

@ken love: gratz to the approval! (and to everyone else)

i had a bit of struggle only on "proof of engagement" as i was not sure how to show that we communicate regularly - we only used skype to call each other, we dont email on a regular basis, we dont do snail mail...so i printed out receipt payments from paypal for our skype credits, my facebook emails with his mom, a few pictures, receipts and his boaring passes for his first and second visit..

after looking at my documents, the CO asked me some basic info, jasons bday, my bday, jason's job.. then the convo rolled to...

CO: so how did you and jason meet?

Me: we met on myspace, then we started chatting and we found out we play this online RPG game, Ragnarok and we started playing / talking almost everyday.

CO: what game was it again?

Me: ragnarok.. its an online multi-player role playing game...

CO: so what do you do in the game?

Me: oh you create your character then you level up your character till you reach 99.

CO: how do you do that?

Me: (i was confused) uh, how do you level up?

CO: yeah, do you just sit in the game? (smirks)

Me: oh no.. you get gears and kill monsters and you also play with a guild. (i was trying my best not to laugh at this point lol)

CO: oh ok. (*pauses to look at my evidence of relationship) - so how do you guys communicate?

Me: we call and chat on skype. he can also get online too.

CO: i see your skype bills.. i thought skype is free?

Me: well, you can get credits with ur CC /paypal so you can make international fone calls on a cheap rate..

CO: oh ok. (*looked at some more papers then handed me back my "evidences) so what's your plans when you get in the states?

Me: well, he is going to pick me up from here in the phils and we will travel home together,he works 2 weeks straight in the slopes then he has 2 weeks off. so when we get there, he will be going to work then we will get married on his next hitch home

CO: (*looks at papers, pauses..looked at 6 out of 15 pictures i presented) which state does he live?

Me:Alaska.

CO: you'll be there during winter. cold. good luck!

then said "congratulations, your visa is approved" then handed me my pink slip

woot ~~

hmm.. i am not sure if they are the ones who give you the medical exam schedule in your region.. but i know for a fact that here in the Philippines, you SHOULD have to have your medical exam at least A WEEK BEFORE your interview. let me know if it's the same for you. because they need time to send the medical exam results to the embassy .. and they ask this from us so that should anything go wrong during the medical exam, you still have time to set things right before your interview date.

good luck.

Canadians can get the medical after the interview if it just ends up happening that way.

We just get RFE'd for it and then we just send it to them and they finish processing the visa.

Hi all,

I got a NOA1 from CSC on May 15th but there is no word on NOA2 and only one week left before the 5 month processing time deadline. A few questions for you all:

1 - Is there anyone else in a similar situation?

2- Can the NOA2 be delayed past the 5 month processing time?

3 - I see that some people have "touch" in their timelines, what does that mean?

many thanks in advance...

Hi,

I also received my NOA1 around may 15 or so. On the advice of some great people (Starlight95 mostly) I contacted my representative about a week ago. Today I got an email from the representative saying that I was approved for the NOA2. I'm sure that the congressional inquiry played a part in getting the approval. So,... my thoughts to you is to contact your Representative today.

Update: After a service request with USCIS and two congressional inquiries, my petition was finally approved yesterday (10/28/2009).
