*cheers for the recent approvals* Woohoo, go, CSC, go! :dance:

@marjus' girl & jennieann: Usually, I'm one for following the rules myself, but I do think it all depends on the embassy. I would do your research first, and make your decision based on what you find. :)

There seem to be a lot of people here who see the view the more recent filers who have gotten approved before the 5 month timeframe as the "enemy". I'm sure there isn't a single Sept/Oct filer that is

Bah, wouldn't let me edit to add this response. I hate posting after myself.. :P

@bigbigblake: Uh, she was here for 2 years? IIRC, even with the visa waiver program, it's only good for 90 days, at which point she should have gone back to Canada. You may very well have problems down the road, since the ensuing overstay was more than 180 days. You might be able to get a waiver for the 3-year ban she's going to trigger, but I'm not the one to talk to about that. Someone else on VJ recently went through something similar, but I'm blanking out on zir username..

I know its absolutely ludicrous to feel ancy at 2 months, especially when for personal reasons my wife can't move here to the states until early August, but I just want to see some kind of progress on the case at this point. I'm going nuts, and its only been 2 months.

On a side note, I'm super happy for all the TSC filers. It really looks like they're getting their approvals quickly, and their NVC case numbers. I hope they are all approved and into NVC quickly, and the whole log-jam gets sorted out for them. I'm ancy at 2 months, I think I'd be psychotic at 7.
