September 2009 Filers! CSC

[kizza 1]

Ok this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the K1 process!

I'm SICK of buying presents! Presents for the boss, presents for co-worker, presents, presents, presents...UGH!

Vacation next week just is NOT close enough!

I hear you about the vacation next week. Can Not Wait!!

I have been in denial about xmas and presents. Aside from fun gifts for the girlfriends, nobody's getting anything from me right now.

I'll get something for my 6yr old nephew for sure... cuz he's always fun to get presents for. But everybody else is so difficult!!

You're getting a present for your boss, you brown-noser!? haha!

Well here is how it went down...

Tomorrow she is taking all of us for xmas lunch and we all bring a 10 dollar gift and basically exchange but you can take other peoples gifts and whatnot. So another coworker came up to my desk and says we should get diane something blah blah blah. I was sitting here thinking that's why I baked for 7 hour yesterday for...I got these xmas tins to put all these cookies and ####### I made and THAT was my gift to my boss...heartfelt and all that....so I emailed my co worker and told her I wouldn't be participating in the gift giving to the boss since we are doing gifts tomorrow (boss is participating in that) and that I already had something in mind for her. I'm sure I'll be on the ###### list with the co worker but I did go back and tell my boss look I'm not participating because I have 2 kids and family and a trip to England next week. I'm giving you something but it wont be from the group so that's why my name isn't on the card. She laughed and it said it was ok but I didn't want her to think I was telling her to F off.

Hehehe, you know I was totally joking... but I think you are right. 10 bucks here, 10 bucks there, it all adds up. I think homemade xmas treats trumps a store bought gift in such occasions.

PLUS... what does 10 bucks get you nowadays anyway!? I find it so frustrating to be spending money on crappy presents that look super cheap when as I said, it really does add up in the end. That's why I like homemade stuff. You actually spent time doing it.

Yeah I dont know...this gift giving thing for 10 bucks I dont know what to get. Maybe I'll buy something in my size so they HAVE to give it back to me LMFAO. That will teach them to ask me to participate in their stupid reindeer games!

hahaha! Matt's brother always does that at gift exchanges. He gives something he wants. Last xmas he got a flood light.... not surprisingly came back home with it!

I participated in a gift exchange with the canadian forum and the price limit was 15$, but in the end spent at least 20$ because I felt like it looked too cheap otherwise.

I have a question for anyone who has gotten NOA2 so far...how long should I wait to bug NVC. It has been 10days since NOA2 issued, but the automated system says "not on file yet." Any thoughts? Thanks!

What the hell is going on at CSC, has anyone found anything in any other threads to shed light on why they basically have stopped cranking?? I didn't realize that they would have a holiday slowdown....

Mondays are always slow.

Anyway, sorry to say my expectations are just about nil right now. Maybe that's when it will happen...

Holiday slow down? More like pre-pre-pre-holiday slow down.

I usually have pre-holiday crank-ups myself.

I think you could start bugging NVC already, from what Ive read elsewhere.

My way of thinking is if I don't get it this week I won't get it until after the first of the year. I'm sure plenty of people working there will be on vacation the next couple of weeks soooo this week is pretty much it I'm thinking. It would be fantastic if something happens between now and then but I'm really just trying to keep myself on a constant reality check...not the cheeriest way to be but at least I'm not feeling so desperate this way.

yeah... I agree with you.

I do wish someone would report a touch though.

Are they already busy drinking eggnog at CSC?

It is already going to be 3 months since my NOA1 tomorrow and still no word. I really wish we would get the NOA2 before X-mas but seems CSC is in party mode.

NVC doesn't log K-1's in their automated phone system. You have to press 5 to speak to a real person and then ask about your case. You're probably already out of NVC and don't know it.

Okay, so I called NVC today and found out that my petition has been forwarded. So..once CSC gets off their duff and hands out some NOA2s here is what to do: call NVC at 603-334-0700 about 5 days after your NOA2, press 1 for english, then 5 to be put on hold and wait. They will ask the case number WAC##########, your name and birth, fiance(e) name and birth. Then they will tell you if it is received and if forwarded onto the embassy. I am sure that someone earlier in the thread added this, but I just wanted to pass it along.

Does anyone know how to determine receive date to embassy? Do I call DOS for that? Okay..more waiting..

Thanks! Ill paste it a Word file so I can find this easily when finally comes the time!

Ive seen people stalking a DHL page, seeing packages being sent out to respective embassies, but I dont know where you find that.
