It's my turn to cool the hostile's down......

Wait your turn!

I've been around "THIS BLOCK" before..... read into that. I know first hand how a petition progresses. I've seen the K1 first hand, 2 times..... I think I have smartened up this time though. All I can say is I know how you feel. It is very stressful seeing no touch's, approvals or even others approved with dates beyond your filing date. I've had the congressman involved and all.....

If you want to keep your sanity. relax...... there is no sucking up here.... we are all in the same boat. If USCIS reads this then they all know how we feel. My personal feeling, I'd be willing to bet that FEB and March filers were extremely high and/or the Chicago lockbox mis proportioned the petitions to even the load.

I not only want to see my own petition to be approved, but I want to see movement. But not knowing how many petitions were really filed in Feb and March, and then factoring in how many are members of VisaJourney....... we can only speculate. There are just to many unknowns here to jump on each others throats.

If you want to blame somebody....... Blame Bush, everyone else does!

That is the best junk e-mail ever!!!!! No prob for the insdie tip. Now you can come join us all the way in the NVC June group (I have seen you posting a few things). So, that means that next week you will have your case number and then be able to give them the e-mails for you and your wife. Then the last week of June you will be getting the AOS/DS3032 e-mails and be able to pay that first fee. Yippeeeeeeeee!

*Note to everyone: I will be getting this excited about all of your approvals!!!

Your wife must be sooooo happy right now. Yay!

I saw that you posted "inshalla" some where so to you I say, "alhamdullilah (sorry for the crazy missssssspelling"....you know what I mean though. At least I hope that is the one that means "to God be the glory".

Hey Teya .. Yes, she was excited. We both were.

Inshallah means "god willing"

Alhamdolillah means "thank god"
