Hey guys.

Im just dropping in to update.

I had a brace fitted on my top teeth this week to align themm a bit, so i have appointments every 6 weeks which i know will break the next few months up for sure :)

On a diff note, i fly out to see Ashley in Dallas next friday. Cant wait!!! Im taking with me my itinery, a letter from my employer stating when i have to return to work, my business cards and my dental appointment card.

I have also persuaded my gp to ive me my MMR and Tdp vaccinations, so il have those when i get back.#

Ashley and i also signed upto our first apartment this week, she moves in june 1st so itll be all there waiting for me for when VSC finally get doing something.

You CSCers are laughing atm, theyre rocking!!! while vsc, although managing to do 12 on monday, have only done 4 since this week.

A week into April and still almost 50% of Sep to do!!

I know people always say 'yeah but VJ only represents a small percentage so theyre prob approving petitions elsewhere' but im not bein funny, they havnt been approving elsewhere for 6 months!! Theyre shockingly slow i just really hope they hurry up!! I want my NOA2 by end of July latest!!

DO YOU GUYS THINK THATLL HAPPEN??

It's a sad state of affairs.

A lot of people actually updated their timeline later so checking the VSC list now, it shows 42 approved petitions between the 4th and 8th of April. That's not bad AT ALL in my opinion. 15 of those were on the 8th alone, I guess the government shutdown scare got people moving :thumbs: Hope they keep it up!

I hope you have a great time with your honey, how long are you staying? If it's no hassle, tell us about your border crossing experience...I'm personally flying out to see my fiance in 26 days, and it's always good to hear from others in the K1 process who flew to the US to visit :)

All in all, VSC approved 48 VJers this last week. Not bad. That's their highest weekly approval rate for VSC since the week of the 31st of January. I really do hope they keep moving, now that they don't have to worry about a possible shutdown and can just concentrate on approving our petitions :lol:

I'm only staying for 11 days too in May, because I'll be in the middle of my semester so it's already the longest I can stay and miss classes. Blah :( but anything is better than nothing!!

And thanks, I appreciate it :)

Got the acceptance e-mail at 12:22am this morning 01/11/2011.

The weird timing of it makes me wonder if they aren't sent out at automated times from the system.

Because I doubt anyone is working at just after midnight.

It's a relief though.

Hehehe. I'm an April filer (filed last week), but I received my e-NOA1 text and email at the same time of night as you did. It caught me by surprise also. I was expecting it to come during more normal business hours.

Yeah all the recent approvals are exciting!! VSC is picking up the pace!!

I am pretty certain their system must update itself every night at midnight, hence the late approval notices. I think that maybe all the emails go out in mass at this time.

Congrats to all the approvals.

Hope everyone is doing well. I finally was able to travel to Russia after a plane mechanical failure caused me to need to reschedule the trip. I uploaded a new picture of my fiancée's surprise to see me. Shortly after this picture, she fell to the floor in complete surprise that I was indeed there. Now the only thing that could make this week better, is to get good news about the petition while we are together...that would be COOL!!!
