VSC! Listen up! You're not done until you get through all the rest of these people waiting! :angry:

Don't make me come up there. We've offered you all sorts of coffee and baked goods. I'll write you into the acknowledgments of my thesis if you just approve the rest of the November petitions already!

Believe me, I've seen these people frustrated and you DO NOT want them to be waiting for 5 months, because the phone calls you will get will not be pleasant. So just give Anwesha, heisable, justar, Carol&Nigel, and ALL the November filers (VJ members and not) what they so truly deserve!

To all my November friends: you've got all this community to still lean on as much as you need. Do something special for yourself, and complain and freak out as much as you need to. We're here for you.

Hugs, and best wishes for continued mega-processing out of the VSC.

Thanks a lot Megan for your good thoughts and actually to every single member on here.So far nothing but a few touches .

We did get a touch consecutively on the 2nd and 3rd but nothing beyond that.

I am really going to have to stop thinking I am super jinxed.

I have had bad experiences with the USCIS.I was so thinking karma would catch up with them and they would make me a happy girl this time around,but well!

But thanks again for your support everyone!

Awesome. Sharing your relief.

Come on, VSC, 2 days of this week left to get rid of all other Novembers. Then you can start Decembers on Monday, so you guys can start sobering up - USCIS official warning - drunk in charge of an NOA2 can lead to packet 3 carnage!....Trust me, alcohol and packet 3 is a lethal cocktail...I tried it once....
