Good morning ... :blush:

So, my SIF failed today. About bloody time. Still have no idea what the Embassy had to do with it. Maybe we were gonna get hit with an RFE for 2009 taxes and the Embassy decided it could be provided at Interview. Either way, I don't really care now. No more NVC - well, sort of until I get my interview.

I love youse all ... :star:

Ok, I am back and I cant wait any longer for my SIF. When do they update the payment portal again? 9am and 3:30pm is it? Maybe I should try calling again and finding out what the heck's going on. But it discourages me everytime they ask me to wait some more.

What say people?

hang in there bro! but another option is to just distract yourself with doing other things. maybe you go to a movie or something tonight? what you need is timepass that will have you doing other things. or maybe you can ask for some kind of travel assignment at work (if you are fortunate enough to work in such an environment). you have to do somehting that doesnt make you just stare at the clock and the calender, or you will truly go mad!

You WILL get it - just hang in there. your PCC was the only source of your RFE and they already acknowledged that; so in a way, it is sort of ok, since there is nothing else wrong. its just a matter of opening the mail and checking the box off, so dont worry. you've done what you can and now you WILL get the SIF!

No hubby hasn't met our daughter neither which is killing him. He wanted a little girl so bad! Yes, I too wonder after hubby gets here how will Gisele act towards him. As far as now she is pretty friendly with everyone but who knows a month from now.

Well, best of luck to you! Hope you SIF soon! Are you FB?

Tats and Cheyemo - you are amazing women! hope your husbands appreciate that! i cannot even imagine what you would have gone thru giving birth alone, w/o your husbands there. heck I truly consider myself blessed in being able to go visit my wife last week and just being w/ her (that stupid #### cloud could have ruined everything, when considering that i booked my tix on the 16th to fly out on the 18th!). hang in there; you will be reunited with them!
