Yes I am a big kid. :devil: snow please come in bucket loads!! Don't wack me over the head please Rhonda again.....

Sorry :lol: I haven't loved the snow SINCE I was a kid - I used to pray we'd get enough for them to cancel school so we would get a day off! :yes: Now it sucks because I have a 25 mile commute each way and the snow and ice doubles my drive time.

Welcome home Mike! Finally...

6'8'' wow, that is tall.... so you can say he really did sweep you off your feet.

I am so happy that this is finally behind you....

I filed for my husband February of this year, USCIS took almost 7 months to approve our case. Our case was then forwarded to NVC where all the requested documents were sent. They received all our documentation and entered them into their system on November 1st. I was told that it takes 2-4 weeks for the case to be completed, yet ours is still being reviewed, while I've seen others in the same visa category send in documents 2-3 days after ours and have gotten their case completed no later than 2 weeks and sent to the respective embassy. Now this makes me wonder how NVC works, just a little confused I guess. I call daily to find out if there are any changes but not yet. :angry: I am trying not to get fed up but this not easy to do atall. :help:

I would say that if you're not mentally strong to deal with this process then don't do it. By far this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and all because I want to live a normal life with my husband who I've know since I was a child. **sigh**

I know; there seems to be no rhyme or reason on how they process accounts. I hope you get an approval soon. I don't know why the K-3's and CR1's take longer than the K-1's. If you ask me they all take to long :angry:
