Isabel, you make me laugh. Just a couple of days ago, you agreed people should relax. May I quote you?

.. considering the fact, that some of us already received their RFE's per mail and returned it (two days ago??), how can you expect that they already work on that? Give them at least a week or two to sort things out. Remember there are only humans working on these cases, no gods.

Keep your pants on, girl!

:whistle: Isabel

We all do, there are days that I check my case 100 times, and they are days were I don’t even open my computer, and think that soon it will be approved and by me checking it’s not going to make a difference. I think that we all go throw this, the waiting is horrible, but isn’t a thing we can do, but wait.

There's nothing like helping others to pull yourself out of a self-absorbed state of worry and waiting. I just spent half a day shopping for a shut-in and visiting her. I didn't think of the visa once.

Some smarty pants should figure out a way to harness the untapped potential of visa petitioners who need something to do to take their mind off things. What a city we could build!

I'm still waiting for my packet from Montreal. I sent them an email because it has been 6 weeks that we have been approved and no packet yet. All they wrote was "sent it again". :) thanks!

but then I called them to make sure they had the right address also. Hopefuly I will not have to wait long for my interview, once I have booked it.

At least they answered your email. They never answer mine. Also when it comes make sure it's the right packet, mine was wrong then they had to resend it. As for the interview. It's been almost two months since I sent back Packet Three and still no word. My husbands calling Montreal today to check about the interview, Let's just hope it's set ........................

:lol: you are awesome! I figured something out to keep myself busy. I decided to study for the TOEFL and GED. I love studying so its gonna be a good thing to spend my time on.

BTW we abandoned the K3 today. It is just totally stupid to wait for both, since the processing time of the K3 would almost be as long at the embassy as the CR1 takes to go through the NVC. So no way we are spending more energy on that. I can spend my energy on daydreaming and learning, since I was so smart and cancelled my flat and job by the end of July. :wacko: Yea....never ever rely on what they tell you. :P

Wow, Isabel, you're the awesome one! Taking matters into your own hands and having a clear plan for the next while. You'll make a great teacher and come out of this a sane woman, with a visa, a diploma, and some chinchillas (?)

Looking at your timeline, it seems the I-130 chugged along fairly quickly. But you dropped the K3 fairly quickly. Did you base this on any anecdotal evidence? Or did you simply decide you'd had enough angst? What's your esimated time of arrival now?

:dance: chinchillas are my pets :), I attached a photo. Well I need at least something to keep myself sane :lol: . Otherwise I am going nuts :blink:. I dropped the K3 because I wanna be able to work upon arrival and I dont wanna have to worry about it anymore. I"d rather wait one more month instead of having this crazy emotional rollercoster all the time. I called my embassy and maybe they can do something for me. I need to call them back next Monday. Hm...my estimated time of arrival depends on what the lady tells me next Monday though :) . I keep my fingers crossed that she can do something for our case. Now I can relax a little. Since I know it is gonna be another two months (what I think) until I arrive in the US if everything goes wrong. So hey without having me worried about that stuff I am a human again :dance:. I love that feeling.

Hey and it WILL save a lot of Money.

No k3 visa approved here....sadly.

Hey isabel, I"m amazed your I130 got approved in 111 days. Is that normal? We are still pending..and we applied almost seven months ago.

that is a very good question. It knocked me down as well. Seems like we just got lucky cos our case went very quickly through Vermont, which usually is the fastest SC.
