JULY 2009 FILERS FOR CR1

[And_Sam 44]

If you only know what i've been through you wouldn't say that dear....we also have had a failed petiton previously...but i waited patiently.... i believe yours will come next..God bless...

No, I don't know what you've been through, and vice versa, but this isn't a contest of who has the most difficult circumstances...it's just frustration and a polite request for a little consideration for those still waiting...

I am still luckier than most, as I have only been waiting two months and not nearly five like others, and I'm also able to visit (theoretically) on the VWP, but as a citizen of a low-risk country with (what seems to me) an airtight relationship, I find it hard to understand why others who filed several weeks after me and from higher-risk countries are being approved so quickly, even though I'm very happy for them of course.

Well however they pick and choose who gets the NOA2, I am glad it is moving quickly...I have looked at other people waiting times to figure out how long the waiting time for the NOA2 from Egypt are and it does seem to take longer than a couple of months..But I am still hoping and praying that we might be a little quicker in getting approved!!!

Take Care and God Bless Us all...we are all aiming at the same goal!! To be with our loved ones!!!!!

And I do LOVE seeing more and more people getting their NOA2s!!!! I look forward to seeing the time lines daily to see how many people are approved each day!!!!!! It gives me hope!!!

When i checked my status online and i got TOUCHED,that was the day CSC has forwarded our papers to NVC as our NOA2 hard copy is dated september 16,so have faith people as you will be next

You all of course are in my prayers....

I have faith!!!!! And hope and prayers!!!! It will happen soon!!!!!

I wish I knew why ours has not even been touched. I am making myself nutty wondering and worrying why some go through so quick and others wait longer. it seems like a very infair and disorganized system. I hate that we cannot evn check until 5 months pass. At least we have a visit coming up soon! I worry about the POE agent every time one of us travels since they hold so much pwer. He is bringing prrof of job,motgage etc back home and copy of ticket for next trip here with his mum. I hope we move to necxt step soon. Come on NOA 2!!!

other july filers got noa2.. .. barraquillera. NOA2 WILL BE SOON FOR ALL. CSC IS WORKING FASTER THAN WE WERE WAITING.

I hope so. I keep checking every day and it is so hard when I see other people flying through; It feels like we were forgotton.

By the way, I like your new profile picture.

MsSheka it's already working!!!! I just checked our status online for the first time today, and guess what - exactly two months after NOA1 we have a 'touch'. Ok, so it's not an approval, but hey, at least they looked at the damn thing - well I hope they did and didn't just move it from one desk to another, unless of course it's been moved from the slow desk to the fast desk ;)

Hehe me too!!! the only reason I only just checked for the first time today is because my husband lives in California, so I live on his time and he lives on mine...and I know there's no point checking until 9:30ish...and hey presto, a touch...it's not an approval but it's something!!

I'm so happy when I see others getting their approvals, and of course some cases are slightly more complicated than others, but seriously, what happened to 'process them in the order that we receive them'?????? how on earth can people who filed in September already be approved in a record time of 17 days (gosh, you jammy so-and-so, what wouldn't we all give eh? ) when there are so many people from March, April, May, June and July still be waiting? If we got a touch, I hope you get one too very soon

OOh I am sooo jealous ! But I'm happy for you. I checked ours again and we have nothing. It still says last activity 8/6/09, recieved, Initial review. I feel like we are stuck on hold. Our whole life is on hold until we get this visa. I know the next step is a long wait too. I need a hug but he is too far away. It's a lot harder than I thought and I feel like I am losing hope some days. Maybe I'll feel better after I see him.

Nooo, don't be jealous! I've not seen my husband since 11th July although hopefully he's coming here in three weeks, and even then it'll only be for a very short time...it's not just our lives that are on hold, but also that of my family too due to complicated circumstances, and it's so very hard. A hug would be wonderful I think we don't realise just how tactile relationships are until that part is missing. At the moment I'm just happy that someone has finally looked at our application, I don't want to get too excited in case it's another three months before we're actually approved :crying: :unsure:

sorry, I love smileys, I think they make all the difference online!

I have a stupid question. Will it say "touched" when I login? Everytime I look I still see last activity is on 8/6 and I want to scream. Ok that's a bit of an exaggeration but it doesnt make me smile.

I like them too. Wow, 3 whole weeks! I left Scotland 3 days after we wed but I went back for a few days last month. he arrives here in less than 2 weeks. I just hope we have covered all the possible POE concerns so he can come on in with no trouble. I think I would go to pieces if they turned him away.

No, the date simply changes...I was so used to seeing 07/22/09 (sorry, that still doesn't look right to me lol) that I did a doubletake when I saw 09/23/09
