January 2011 Filers!!!

I recommend that no VSC people check Igor's list this morning, it will only frustrate you! Nope no need to look, cause it is still the same! The last processed petition was on March 23rd.

However, the CSC people must be jumping up in down from joy today! WOW, thats a lot of processing! You guys are officially over a month ahead of us VSCers...

But nope, this is not me complaining... just in case you were wondering! I'm working on not letting the lazziness of VSC get to me. Instead, I am just really happy for the CSCers, and hopefully this means that VSC will be speeding up things soon too!

Ha, and you know what I just realized; about two weeks ago I made a vow that I would not look at igor's list again until April.... ummm.... totally forgot about that one!! So, guess I'll have to make a new one. For me, no igor's list until April 10th!

Anyone else who wants to take the challenge and join me on this one, feel free.

Have a good day everybody!

Hi all,

I went down to the US for a 10 day visit over spring break. I just got back and wanted to let you all know that my first post-filing border crossing went fine.

I brought a letter from my employer and a mortgage statement, as well as a copy of the NOA. The officer asked me where I would be staying (with my fiance). He asked if we would be getting married in the US, and I said we had filed for the visa. He confirmed that I wouldn't be getting married on this trip (definitely not) and that's it. Didn't need to show any of my documents.

I always take the train across the border, which in my experience is a particularly low-hassle way to cross.

On the way back into Canada the guard asked me if I make this trip often and if this is the usual length of my trip. Not quite sure what that line of questioning was about from the Canadian side, but I said yes to both and he didn't ask anything further.

It's all a bit of a mystery to me still -- what are they looking at on those screens, anyway? Do the dates of all my border crossings show up?

Yup, they know every time we cross the border. When my fiance came to Canada a few weeks ago they let on to him that his name was linked to my name and they knew i had a K1 Visa pending. That was just the Canadian side.

well vsc has finally done something!!

Looks like a few people took a few days to update their timelines too..

Good to see!

VSC always seems to rattle a load off at the end of the month to keep more or less within its 6 month timescale.

Im pretty confident that the estimation given my VJ will be about right, mine is currently between the 4th and 18th july. Just over 6 months. I can deal with that as it should mean i can get my medical and interview done by early sept

haha! I will not check igor's, i will not check igor's, i will not check igor's!! AUMMMMMMMM!!!!

one more day closer to April 10th (checkint igor's).

Hey, I like this short term challenge. It makes me more concerned about waiting for the 10th just to check igor's againr rather than focused so far out in the future! And, my guess is i will be pleasently surprised with the progress of VSC when I finally check it again!

Have a good day everyone!

Haha, I felt tempted to look, but wont!

[Diana and Chris 25]

Im happy today. For whatever it means to VSC, we are passed the half way there. (This is, of course, for the 5 month mark)

As for the waiting, so far so good. Easy peasy. Just missing him like crazy, but loving him more and more as days pass by.

Oh, and It seems like I'm going to be living at Dallas when I get there, baby has to relocate because of his new job.

The best of days to all of you!!

Ahh, find the January family here, new to VJ too!

Hi to everybody!

[Jen and Mario 2]

Hi everyone,

Happy Half way point this month.

How is everyone?

Its been a while since I have been on to check how everyone is doing and to see any updates. Anyway, as I was reading a question came to me so I thought I'd ask you all about it. I'm heading to the Netherlands at the end of the month. Does anyone think I should take something with me as far a proof to return? Or maybe our NOA1? I know its a big deal for everyone coming here to the US to have all their proof but is it the same the other way around?
