Is this a general Q to any one?

VSC. Signed by D RENAUD.

Sorry, this orginal post was sent to the wrong area.

I-129F mailed to VSC June 18,2010.

I-129F delivered to VSC June 21,2010.

Waiting, waiting for NOA1.

July 12, 2010 VSC states petition was rejected (no reason given) and was being returned however they did give me the case #.

Waiting, waiting, did not get returned petition instead got hard copy of NOA1 in mail on July 26, 2010 with

different case # (very strange!!!) I have not seen anything like this on VJ.

NOA1 dated July 20, 2010 (way too long) 29 days since delivered.

Check cleared July 22, 2010.

Received NOA1 hard copy July 26, 2010.

"Touch" July 27, 2010.

"Touch" Oct. 3, 2010 Yeah!!!!, at least something.

YEEPEE!!!! Finally NOA2. Dec 30,2010 got cell text at 4:04pm, and email notice at 6:00pm that our petition has been approved.

Now for the rest of the process, should not be so long now!!!!!!

This long wait has been very stressful for both of us, now we can make more plans for the rest of our lives together.

NVC got our case on Jan 4, 2011 and was sent to the Embassy on Jan 6, 2011. Thank you Lord!!!

We now have our MNL case number!!!!

So yesterday was exactly 2 months from my NOA1 date. I was hoping that since it was 10/10/10 it would mean something lucky would happen.

Nothing yet..

It will happen soon....please let it happen soon!!

It will it will!!!

On my end, I'm trying real hard not to get stressed out because unfortunately we have to wait for our NOA2 before booking FH's trip home to Nigeria for a new passport. I am so tempted to just have him go back now while we're waiting because that trip will be at least two weeks. But I don't want the police certificate he also has to get from there to expire. Granted it's 3 months validity but I would hate to waste money. Hmmm....

I have barely even thought about my Visa since I've been visiting my fiance, so it's been a blessing that way. Thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing. Seems VSC has started to at least show that there are people actually THERE ... nothing from CSC yet, though. Good luck to everyone. :) Been 2 months since our NOA1. Doesn't seem like it, though.

My fiance is thinking the same thing about me. I keep stressing over it more than he does... he's the calm one in the relationship lol.

I really do like that everyone seems to care about everyone because we're basically all in or have been in the same boat.

Thats so funny you guys say that as my fiance thinks the same, he is like if you just chilled out about it then it will come through!! Just wish that would be the case!

Sorry July Filer crashing August posts! :blush:

This waiting is terrible but in 4 weeks I am off to spend the holidays with my OH so that cushions the waiting a little bit!!

It's the same for both of us too. I'm the paranoid one sometimes :)) And he's so sure of everything and all... :P I wish I could be more like him. And that's what I'm working on right now. Like I said, sometimes I lose control, but in most of the time I'm very optimistic. :D I even think that our process will be over by the end of the year and I'll be able to spend Christmas with my honey!! :P

Anyway, September Filer crashing August posts as well. :innocent::star:

Ok so mini rant:

I'm having such an awful day. I hate Tuesdays. Some days I feel really in control of myself, patient and rational and confident that this whole visa thing is going to be just fine. Today is unfortunately not one of those days. I know I can't really complain too much about the waiting because it's only been 2 months and I know I'm lucky to be at VSC but sometimes I just get overwhelmed with how sick of this whole thing I am! :( I feel like my relationship is in such a rut too. It's awful, we both know we love each other and want to be together but the separation is causing our relationship to stagnate. I called my Fiance today on my lunch hour and neither of us had anything to say to each other. We just sort of sat there in silence. It's sad, horrible and pathetic all at the same time. So after we got off the phone I was feeling depressed and went across to street and bought a bag of skittles which just made me feel worse because now I feel nauseous, fat and depressed. Great.

Also, not that this has anything to do with anything, but I somehow managed to turn the clock on my cell phone off and now I can't make it go back on. I think it's broken because even if I switch the clock display setting to "on" the screen is just blank. Ugh. Tuesdays.. :(

Ok, rant over. Sorry!

I gotta tell you, sometimes I feel the same. We feel the same, me and my fiance. But he's always stronger than me. I'm trying to learn how to do that from him. :unsure:

I'm just like you, sometimes I feel so depressed, other times I say to myself: It's going to be fiiine, we have a real relationship. I don't think I'm afraid of the interview, but I can't stand this waiting game, it's killing me(us...), we've been together since 2007 and it was all about waiting all the time. So I'm getting sick of it. There's not so much time left, but well, there are some days when I just can't control myself and I cry like a baby. :innocent:

But THIS process WILL BE OVER and WE WILL BE WITH OUR LOVED ONES!! Just think about that. I don't know if my reply will help you, but I figured I could at least try... :luv:

Hugs,

Sunshine

Thanks, I appreciate your response. Sometimes you just need a good cry, ya know? It's cathartic.

The stupid thing about this though is that even if his visa was approved tomorrow, he couldn't move here until March 20th because thats exactly 90 days before the day we're planning the wedding. Long distance is just so damn hard!! :crying:

Hmm... I'll go immediately after the interview with my fiancé. Anyway, yes... sometimes you need to cry, at least... sometimes crying makes me feel better. But lately I do feel better, I'm confident, I don't know what's happening, maybe our NOA2's closer? :D
