I cant understand how people who applied after us are flying through while we are just stuck. It must be we got the laziest reviewer on the planet! Maybe he/she has something against brits! lol

Yes Boston is said to be the most european city in America. I love New England. It's way better than the old one! The life style is similar to home and Boston is the closest airport. But the winters are sooo cold! I didn't know what cold was until last new year.

I wasn't gonna say I told you so but.....walking a mile to train in minus 10 degree weather was not your best idea. I'm just saying.....

:rofl:

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

I understand the frustration here too!!!! This is why I love seeing people before me getting approved. Not only am I happy for them, but it helps to see that they're not always skipping over me. My hubby's from Finland-pretty similar to the US/UK, etc...except they just speak funny! :D ....I've looked at Finland timelines on VJ and they all took forever! I don't get it!!!!

I also couldn't imagine waiting for five months. Wow. I've been waiting since 8/19 and I'm going crazy already!!!

Have faith everyone!!! I was kind of worried it was going to take longer than everyone else's because of where my husband is from but that didn't seem to matter at all!!! I just hope that everyone else gets through ok too!!!

See you on the NVC thread!!!

This is exactly what I mean - an Egyptian guy approved more quickly than (and before) a British girl when usually males from the Middle East take much longer than everyone else (and yes, of course it's unfair that's the situation, everyone should take roughly the same time). Ah well, back to waiting :)

I think alot of it has to do with what paperwork is turned in with the actual application, ie...I-130, on the petitioner's behalf that is really looked at. I don't think they really care about where the beneficiary is from until they get to the NVC because that is when they want all of their paperwork.

Good luck everyone!!!

I don't have Glaswegian habits. I come from the civilized side of the country!

Hehe, sorry to any Glaswegians out there, but I love Edinburgh, such a wonderful city :)

Boston that cold? Are you not hardened by the North Sea lol?

Yes I thought I was hard and I could handle cold but when I stepped outside at new year I screamed like a little girl! It's the kind of cold that you worry your ears will snap off!

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I LOVE FLORIDA! MY SUNSHINE STATEm1235.gif

I love your sunshine state too and we intend to be back as much as we can. I thought Disney was for kids and I'd be bored until I went there. I defy anyone to go there and not have a great time. I'm not sure I could handle your summer tho. We went in February and there were days I almost burst into flames!

Well you did kick our backsides (it censors the other word!) in a war once but we've forgiven you for it now! We even let you stay here on the 4th July. We're very nice that way so how about returning the favour!

I wanted to use my charlie card on the train! It was worth it. At least I was clever and wore a hat! I might have looked silly but I would have looked worse without ears.

I think everyone should be treated equally and fairly no matter where they come from and the USCIS should be doing what they promise and doing them in date order. But they are not so if they are gonna let people jump the queue it should be us nice brits that get there first! Lol.

Wow, thanks Scot! That's so nice!!! We wonder why we didn't figure that out 22 years ago (well, almost 22 years!)...guess the timing was off. We do have a pretty original love story on VJ! I'm so glad I found him again.

You have such a funny sense of humor-Scottish peeps crack me up! My grandpa was from Kirkintillich. I'm sure I'm totally screwing up the spelling but I'm too lazy to google it. So I'm 1/4 Scot!!!! I have the red curly hair...

I agree, and I do wonder if perhaps we didn't submit enough evidence...my husband is the type that follows things to the letter, so even though I encouraged him to send more stuff he stuck to the requirements asked, eg only one affidavit of support...typical man if only he listened :whistle: :whistle: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :P :P
