Our case got touched again today.. maybe they're reconsidering the RFE? Just hopeful thinking, but kind of weird, I thought when they send an RFE they put the case on hold. Stop playing with my heart, VSC.

Probably got handed over to the clerk to mail the RFE. The like touching things over there at VSC.

[Lohninck 2]

They only like touching when they feel like being mean. Jerks.

[Jared and May 16]

A whole lotta touching going on...

@Lohnick - keep your head up, an RFE is not the end of the world.. Just respond quickly and you'll have your NOA2 in NOA time.. Bad joke.

[Lohninck 2]

Yeah, it's just more of a pain than anything. I'm still glad they at least noticed my case and didn't just decide to forget it and let it collect dust. An RFE is better than having to wait the full 5 months without a single touch. Congrats on the visa in hand, the picture is adorable.

[Jared and May 16]

LOL thanks.. She's going to yell at me tomorrow when she sees that I posted it..

[Lohninck 2]

Got the RFE in today! And yes, we missed A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION. Whether or not I've been convicted of a crime/military cirme/etc. I don't know why I must have missed something so stupid, or that I didn't catch it when I looked over the packet a thousand times, but I'm SO GLAD it was just something dumb on my half. :) I'm sending the response today while it's still early via UPS so it will be in Vermont by MONDAY. I feel so relieved. My fiance is ecstatic, too. I'm feeling a little bashful but oh well. Is that an approval I smell on the way?

Lohninck-

That's actually a pretty common RFE, many people have posted that they've missed answering that question on the I-129F.

Good news is that as soon as they receive your response they'll finish procssing your petition. I'll bet you an ice cream cone that you have your NOA2 7 days after they receive your response!

Best of luck to you!

Yeah, I think I was just confused as it was under the military section, but I guess I was so stressed out when filling it in that I skipped it completely.. and over again.. and over again.. and so on. But it's all fixed now and I already sent it with UPS so it will be there guaranteed by 10:30 AM Monday, with signature and confirmed delivery. I don't mess around when sending my stuff to the government. We're happy now and I feel like I can rest easy for the first time in months. Come on, VSC, you can do this! Thank you everyone again for supporting me during my stressed out insanity, I don't know what I'd do without VJ.

Glad to hear that it is something very minor !!!!!

Good evening all,

Tonight I'm writing with a somber feeling, what a really crappy day...

You all know that I involved my congressman to expedite our NOA2 in an effort to get Vanessa here quickly so I could enroll Miranda in Englishes classes and get Vanessa's emergency advance parole due ot her mom's poor health (she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon and liver cancer about 1 month ago). Her mom's prognosis was not good (she was given 4-6 months). It was Vanessa's mom's wish that we proceed with the K-1 as planned and not to delay it.

Today about 9:00am Vanessa's mom died at home with her family next to her - it was something we'd all been preparing for but never saw happening so quickly. When Vanessa called me at the office to give me the news I was absolutely shocked and deeply saddened.

This is supposed to be an exciting time in our lives, full of anticipation about the future and the changes that will be happening in our lives and the woman I love more than anything in the world is dealing with a profound loss tonight. I offered to get on the next available flight, but in true Vanessa fashion - she told me not to waste my vacation time, that nothing more could be dopne for her mom and that Vanessa would be ok. What an abolute awful feeling to know that the woman I love is hurting and we're separated by 3,000 miles.

Our interview is scheduled for May 14 and I can't wait to get off the plane to see her and to hold her, to let her know how much I love and respect her strength. It's even more imoportant now that I get my girls home with me as soon as possible so I can help them heal.

Thank you all for your support and the kmindness you've shown us during the last few months. Please keep Vanessa and her family in your thoughts and prayers - they'll be greatly appreciated.

Love,

Alan

Hey Alan, Really sorry for you and Vanessa. I know it's tough to deal with a loss, I lost a brother some years ago and the memories never die. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Vanessa and I also pray that you guys have a quick journey through the Visa process. At least you two have found each each other and I'm sure you will both find years of happiness together!

On a side note....My Wilma passed her interview today! She'll be here May 13th!

[garnet80 1]

So very sorry to hear the news, Alan. Will keep them in my prayers.

[Lohninck 2]

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Alan. If you're the religious type, you know that she's in a better place, and if you're not, at least you know she's no longer suffering and is finally at peace. We will always continue to support you as much as you support all of us. I know you and your girls will be reunited sooner than ever and after time things will feel happy like they should. Keep strong for your girls. We love you here.
