VSC all the way.............dont know whether to be happy i found VJ site or not. Before joining the site i was happy to simply plod along the journey, now i am obsessed about being touched or not. Sure, i have gotten lots of useful info here (which i am yet to use) but my recent obsession with wanting to know who`s gotten NOA2 or not leaves much to be desired leaving me less productive. 4.42am e.t and i am on this site....Sheesh, i gotta get a life outside NOA, AOS, EAD and dont lets forget the almighty RFE.

I think if i had used the new form (which i clearly saw online but figured hey the old form has 6/30 exp. date on it) around 6/22/06 when i mailed my 129F package, i may have squeaked past the April avalanche of RFEs being returned and perhaps gone further along the process without getting the RFE that sat in the postoffice for some 2-3weeks (while i went looking for shells along some caribbean beaches). Mailing RFE back to VSC on 7/31/2006 and getting receipt notice on 8/4/06 certainly caused, i presume, some delay in my case.

Ah well!!!!!!!!!What to do but remain obsessed???????????

p.s I've been touched two days in a row now - lets hope that it's either good news or someone dusting off a pile - not that they can't make heads or tails of the petition.

Well, I don't think that my petition has been there long enough to collect any dust yet, but in a perfect utopia, I'd like to see all of those who have been waiting FOREVER get approved tomorrow and then the rest of us get approved by Monday.

How's about that for pipe dreams?
