Thanks!

I'm so happy that we can be actively participate during the NVC stage and contribute to making the process go quickly. I think that's what bothered me so much about the USCIS stage...not being able to do anything!

Congratulations!!!!! Glad for you!

I am waiting for e-mail from NVC... My husband called and got our nombers. And now, as I understood, we need to wait for e-mails from NVC..

Don't worry you aren't the only one with the feeling of being left out . I have stopped checking VJ intentionally because it was driving me nuts . I can't bear to see dec approvals and not seeing ours so I won't be coming here as often as I did . I'm middle of no where as my husband isn't the kind who tells me every action he is taken so I have no clue that if he approached any congressman or not . It's sucks

im in the left out group too :crying: hopefully this week ..i will be writing my congressman soon too..i already wrote my senator and I am waiting for response..

Thanks again lbjr

Marjus'sgirl, have you called your senator since you wrote to him/her last? Try to call rather than wait for a response. I'm sure they are busy and will probably pay more attention to those who call them a little more persistently.

I definitely understand how you guys feel left out because that was me for the past month. Other oct filers were getting their approvals and I wasn't but I hung in there and eventually got mine too.

My advice is to keep calling your senators/congressperson and email your service center too. I sent VSC so many emails I think my receipt # was probably recognized by whomever processed it when they stumbled upon my file.

Good luck to those still waiting.

I just got my email too. I had a half-written rant earlier today but work intervened so I never got to finish and post it. 4 months and 28 days between electronic notifications. I hope Sally gets hers tonight still too. I'm not sure what time it is in Albania but she's only a couple of days ahead of me on the submission.

I am still going to write my senator though. This process is the suckiest thing I could imagine putting upon a newlywed couple and seriously needs to be fixed. The penalty is just too high for those of us following the legal process.

Jan-2009 - Met online

Mar-2009 - Became a couple

Sep-2009 - Met in person (2 weeks in Jakarta)

Jan-2010 - Denied B1 visa

Thank you for your wishes and support :) So when should we start calling NVC ? or whst is the next step?

I just got my email too. I had a half-written rant earlier today but work intervened so I never got to finish and post it. 4 months and 28 days between electronic notifications. I hope Sally gets hers tonight still too. I'm not sure what time it is in Albania but she's only a couple of days ahead of me on the submission.
