THANK YOU ANGELA or DAVID BADGER!! good.gif

YAY!!! Finally! :D

Wait, let me see if I understand you properly. They did finish loading out petitions on the truck, they were rounding the corner at the book depository, turned upside down on the grassy knoll (because of the snow), and Lee Harvey Oswald came back (another conspiracy theory?), saw the problem, and moved them to the book depository because that is where he works?

2nd RFE, this time my daughter's petition, and guess what they don't claim for the passport but for a TRANSLATED birth certificate. In Europe we have multilingual official documents, and it's exactly what we submitted, they are askeing for an english version of something which is already in English :bonk:

People I've never, never seen such a nonsense.

Do you imagine me going to see a translator and tell him to translate something from English to English???? :bonk::bonk::bonk:

Unbelieveable! Are they blind? Don't they see the English there? Sometimes people are so careless that they don't see the other language there. I wonder what my RFE will be. I called USCIS and even a tier 2 doesn't have a clue on what my RFE was about. How long did it take your RFE to arrive in your mailbox? I am just tired of this whole process.

Congrats to all those who got approved. Sorry I'm not in a cheerful mood since yesterday. Hope everyone gets approved this week.

Well, that was quite a journey, and the blessed relief of being out of TSC is a HUGE stress buster.

If I personally, have learned anything from this experience, it's that firmly pushing DOES work. It's VERY sad, but it seems at TSC, he who shouts loudest gets listened to. We made quite a few noises today.

I want to than Path2 USA for his email addresses and telephone numbers. We'll never know what did provoke this, it may just have been our turn, but we did push today.

I'd advise all you still waiting for approvals or notices to be like bulldogs in your approach to TSC.

THANK YOU all for your kind words of encouragement, and we look forward to all moving on to the NVC together.

Here's hoping for more good news tonight...BRING IT ON!!
