Got my approval email about 40 minutes ago! :D 65 days from NOA1, which is way way faster than we were expecting, and we were afraid we'd get an RFE because we had no boarding passes or hotel receipts. Keep your heads up guys, VSC looks like they're picking up the pace something fierce this past week!

Best of luck to each of you! :)

CONGRATS! That's pretty awesome. I'm a little bit afraid of an RFE too, because when my fiance and I first met up (back in 2006) we had no idea that either of us would be getting married in 2010 and never kept any boarding passes or stuff like that because it just seemed like trash, so I could only print out some itineraries we had floating around (some dated back from 2007) and whatnot. We'll see though. I'm still in good spirits. Congratulations again!

Before Journey:

Met online in 2002 as friends. Fell in love in 2005. Got engaged in 2010.

July 24, 2010: Married in front of 150 of our loved ones on a beautiful, sunny day. Living happily ever after and oh so thankful that 5 years of a long distance relationship and 7 months of a visa process is condensed into one line.

Wedding pictures! Because I'm shameless. http://s956.photobucket.com/albums/ae47/AmeriDaneWedding/

Well guys, I do not think its fair that CSC is working very fast and people who are even applying after my application date reciving NOA2 and we are still waiting.they have to find the way to work on applications faster in VSC.

Well a lot of Dec VSC guys are still waiting so that might make it fair. Anyway, CSC is more random than VSC and they seem to be picking a few files randomly.

The touch should mean some action. You'll hear something soon.

Good Luck

If you have some patience left in you - wait a week. That way, when you call, you are running a higher chance of not just NVC having received a petition, but also hearing the news that NVC has sent it on its merry way to the consulate.

I appreciate your comments, but as always, don't take everything I say as the ultimate truth. Everything I have learned about this process was from the collective knowledge of other VJ members. It helps to have good and kind people around who will selflessly help others to go through this grueling process
