Wow! There are some old K-1s on that list. It's about time! Good for them! They should be ahead of us for sure.

PS Good morning too! I'm finally up!

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!

My hubby's at work so our emails are flying back and forth...when I'm not scrubbing toilets. ha!

CSC apparently took a couple of days off, but VSC kicked butt yesterday. Oh well...next week is a different week! This is just throwing off my plans a little bit. I may have to fly off to visit my hubby in November...

I was up at 6:30AM, running. People at work call me Forrest Gump :)

Off to my folks house in Lakewood. Good mom-cooked dinner and tomorrow I act as shuttle driver taking them up to Seattle for their cruise. Here's to hoping I have good news to tell them when they get back :)

dang! i thought i was in the august thread!..... :blush:

i posted this over in the july thread *toinks*

I'd just want to validate what my wife (Señora Bonita) says at Post # 395. The funny thing is that, up to this minute, our case status at the USCIS site still shows as under Initial Review. We have not received any approval email from CRIS either. But today, I received the Approval Notice, dated September 16, 2009, from USCIS. Our last touch was on September 17th and that was when this approval letter was postmarked. We can't rely on the website for updates no more, so, I recommend that you sort your mail attentively!

To abbie and maritoni - many thanks for congratulating my wife! :thumbs:

ooh yeah huh. our last touch was september 18th & when my hubby went & checked his PO box today guess what?? there it was!! our NOA2 hard copy dated september 18th yay!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: when i checked online today it still doesn't say approved. we have been approved a week and we didn't know it! lol

oh well, we got our NOA2!!!! woohooo!!!

now its NVC time!

for those still waiting, i will keep you guys in my prayers. well all of my august friends are in my prayers! :star:
