December 2009 Filers - CSC!

[MeggyMo 4]

You're welcome from me too. I hope your CSC to NVC journey is smoother than mine! 2 1/2 weeks and no one can tell me (at either end) where my application is. Insane.

Man Casper I can't believe you are still waiting on that. I am constantly checkin VJ to see whether you heard anything new.

This is just crazy.

I wish I could help but all I can really do is keep hoping that you guys will hear something soon.

Angelo and I are really rootin' for you and Diana

[MeggyMo 4]

Any good news my awesome December filers??

[Y&E 12]

Still waiting, MeggyMo And you?

[MeggyMo 4]

Well I am just waiting on Angelo to finish up the I-134 form. I should be faxing my checklist to Vancouver this week though!

I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was a rainbow. 'Ah, good news today,' I thought. But then I realized the rainbow was only half, just one side, and I knew it would be partial good news; and so it was. Today after countless e-mails and phone calls to the CSC and NVC, the "Ombudsman for Customer Relations" of the USCIS sent me a one line e-mail: "Your application has been sent to the NVC today."

Uh, was that sent again today? Or, sent for the first time today? My NOA 2 said it was sent on April 12th, three weeks ago. And, what--or whose--incompetence kept it from going out when it was supposed to? I'm going to find out who the CSC reports to, I have a letter that needs writing...

So, at least it looks like my application has left CSC for the NVC today. A mere 4 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days after it was received by the CSC. Government in action. MeggyMo, are you sure you want to come here?

Well hey that is great news Casper! I know it took a lot of effort on your part to finally get an answer out of them but at least you know that it has been sent for sure!! I am really happy to hear that. Now you just have to keep calling the NVC and get that good news that they have received it! It will happen quicker than you think

But yes you probably should write a letter and find out EXACTLY why this went on. I mean was your petition lost on the way to the NVC or what!?

Hahaha yea I am sure I still want to come. I just truly don't understand why things like this happen. It should be a simple procedure but in some cases apparently not. But see now that you have had this little set back everything else should run smoothly for you.

I am kind of worried since Angelo and I haven't had any hitches in our case that something is going to happen near the end. I really hope that is not the case!

I sure am getting antsy to move to Ohio and be with him though. I have already got myself into that mindset that this is no longer my home and that I will be with Angelo soon for good. I am just getting super impatient and want it all to be done with! As I am sure everyone else is feeling that way as well

That's great Caspar. Hopefully this means that you've had your fair share of hold-ups with your case and the rest of it will go smoothly. I hope that your case goes smoothly too, Meggy.

Off to scan my updated vaccination report to prove that I've had 2 MMR vaccines and see if the Nurse at the Medical exam place can send an updated version of the form to the embassy since I still don't have an interview date. Thanks for the reminder of the I-134 Meggy, must chase Yuri up on that.

Thanks a bunch!

You had to have 2 MMR vaccines? Maybe I have had two and I just didn't look at my vaccination records clearly. I did just go get an updated TDAP shot. Hurt like hell for 4 days!

The nurse told m I was completely up to date on my shots so I am sure I am.

Ya you always gotta get after them to do that silly form. I have been gettin on Angelo's case now for weeks that lazy butt. Oh well he actually just finished it today so he will be sending me everything real soon!!

I am really hoping you guys hear about getting your interview date soon, I am basically crossing every ody part I can for all of us December filers! I am basically one big Canadian knot!

Yeah, you have to have 2 dates to prove that you've had 2 MMR (the original as an infant and then the booster as a teen) but my suregery back home noted it down wrong and it only showed 1 date. It was easier to simply have the booster again than to have an immunity test to prove that I really did have full immunity. Thank goodness, the MMR hasn't made my arm sore like the Tdap did!

[MeggyMo 4]

Ok I just checked it out and I have two MMR shots so that's good!

Yea oh that TDAP. I seriously couldn't move my arm for 4 days afterward!

Oh well it had to be done. I find I am saying that a lot lately when it comes to this process

Good Morning December Filers! Glad to see there is still progress being made out there in Visaland. While enduring the interminable wait to see if in fact, this time, my application really WAS forwarded from the CSC to the NVC I have been filing out forms and gathering documents for the eventual embassy visit. I've just about finished all I can do and am now waiting for Diana to do her thing in Donetsk (Ukraine). She's a little stressed but holding up well.

Get this, remember before I said that she had given notice at her day job. Did I also mention she had also a one-person financial consulting company which she needs to close? I told her to close it too. Well, a couple days ago she came back and said the process to close her business in UA will take 3-6 months!!! Now there's a bureaucracy to be proud of! I told her to start the process now but we are NOT waiting 3-6 months for it to complete. After she is here, we marry, we do the AOS, then if necessary she can go back and finish.

One other funny story: Day before yesterday I called the CSC to try and get independent verification that my package was, in fact, sent on Monday. The second level agent I spoke with in exasperation with my incessant quizzing said, 'if we sent you an e-mail Monday saying we sent the package why do you not believe us?' To which I replied, 'well, Officer (whoever), I also have in my hand an I-797 that said you sent the package on April 12th but you really didn't, did you?' There was no reply, only a promise to have his supervisor call me which of course, she has not. *sigh*

Just gotta keep on keepin' on!

Hey there Casper,

Wow I can't believe it will take that long to close all that! JEEZE! But yea get her over there and then she can deal with it after I mean it is of course important but you guys have waited long enough that can be put on the back burner for awhile!

Hahahaha oh wow well good keep on their butts about it and of course you don't trust them! Real soon when you call the NVC though you will hear that they have it and it will be smooth sailing from there for ya!

Still waiting on slow moin Angelo to send me the stuff. He has it all he just needs to print it out! So hopefully by tomorrow he can send it all to me. I am getting so anxious for the intrview date.

I just got back from the doctor and had full blood work done to make sure I am super healthy and no surprises for my medical! I am apparently all good so I am super happy about that!

My packet was forwarded very quickly from the NVC to the Embassy but after that it has been a wait.

I called last week to check the status of it and the person was out on leave. Called on the day she was supposed to be back but she was out again. So I finally spoke to her and she asked me to get the documents ready and have my foreign fiancee call the embassy for an interview when she has all the paperwork ready. (no letter of anysort was sent)

It's only within the time of 3-5pm that they take calls for interview dates and my fiancee called yesterday but didn't get them, will wait for next week now :/

Oh and that is exactly what I hate about Fridays now! Well at least you guys got a hold of someone and are on the right path!

You will have to tell us as soon as you can when your fiance gets the interview date! YAY DECEMBER FILERS

Wish I could say that after a touch (4 and a quarter months after NOA1) on April 29th that something progressed. nope. Our Senator representative´s inquiry caused a touch only. Still waiting for the magical NOA2. Going on 5 months. In the meantime we are on a countdown for my trip to Ecuador. 34 days to go. If California isn´t on our case this week, I´m not even sure if we will get to the interview part while I´m there....and we were thinking originally he would be postponing the interview until mid June! Yikes!

Come on California! We want the whole family to come home in July...
