Hey Congrats....!! :thumbs:

Now it's your turn Christina!!

I certainly hope so! Seeing all these 25'ers get approved is giving me a boost of faith.. maybe next week will be mine? :dance:

Before Journey:

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

K-1 Journey, January 2010-July 2010:

NOA1: January 29. RFE: April 21. NOA2: June 4. Interview: July 15. Visa in hand: July 20. POE: July 22.

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/

Adjustment of Status Journey, January 2011-March 2011:

January 25: NOA1 for AOS and EAD. Feb 5: Bio appointment received. Feb 7: RFE. Feb 11: Sent RFE response. Feb 23: AOS transfered to CSC. Feb 25: Biometrics. March 11: EAD approved! March 19: Received EAD. March 21: AOS approved! March 25: GC in hand!

And we'll live happily ever after.. for the next 2 years, anyway.

YEAH!!!! Things are happening.

I wish they would just do this whole thing in order- but that would be too good to be true!

Hopefully soon!

I would have to agree with you there they don't seem to be doing anything in order.. Seeing that theres so many later jan filers being approved way before the ones that did theirs earlier in the month.. How is this being justified?

We first met online 2004, but things started to get serious in Dec 2007. Made my first visit to the USA in march 2008 for 2 weeks. Then returned again in Aug 2008 for 3 months.. Then i came back to the UK for 5 months to return back to the USA April 2009 for another 3months.

If you learn to accept that this process is not about justice or fairness it'll be easier to endure it.

A little insight though, the pattern I've seen with VSC, is that once it starts processing a month, they don't care if you filed on 1st or 30th. They process it as a whole.

So basically, any day is fair game.

Слава Україні!

As MAPT says, VSC is a complete ####### shoot.. We saw Dec 20th NOA1's being approved before Dec 2nd, etc...

It's a warped game of musical chairs, you just gotta home your box ends up on the desk of the adjudicator that's ready to plow through em'..

NVC finally got my package today and to my surprise, they are going to forward it to the consulate in Nigeria tonight. How lucky is that?

congrats abbeydcool. Things will work in your favor by the grace of God.

Have you already printed the packet 3 for your fiancee? You know she can get them printed at home instead of you sending them to her from here. It will save you postage weight.

All the best
