I'm really worried now. If Ice's family finds out what we're doing, they will try to contact te government and stop him from coming. If we don't get approved soon, we might have really big problems...

Any advice?

Hey Nicolette, I'm sorry I don't have any experience with your type of situation. My only advice would be to post in the Thailand portal and see what experienced VJ members have to say. I hope we all get approved soon too...

Thanks... I did repost in Thailand Forum and they said not to worry about it. But now what worries me is why he was so calm when he was telling me that we might have to wait a few years and do a CR-1 visa instead....I was panicking!! How can he be so calm??? "If I'm not out of here by the end of October, it might have to be the end for us. Unless you are willing to wait fours years for me to finish school. Don't ruin your life for me." How can he be so calm?!!!! :(

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

:( Ugh, I'm sorry you're going through this right now. Maybe he's getting scared about leaving Thailand? Maybe he has pressure from his family to complete university (in Thailand) so he's digging in his heels? I would ask him. My heart goes out to you and I'm sending you a big virtual hug.

I have the same feeling, Nicolette. Ice was just being calm so as not to make you upset. You know... fear breeds fear. I know you would wait for him if you had to, though. However, I don't think you'll need to do that. It's just a feeling I have. :thumbs:

Thanks....you're probably right. I'm the one who overreacts and he's the calm one. He was really supportive last time I talked to him. I really hope we get approved soon...

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great and blessed holiday weekend!

Does anyone know if when you get your 2nd NOA, do you get the text / e-mail right away (provided you sent in the form) or will you get the notification at 1am just like the NOA1 ?

I see someone already got their NOA2 today, 9/6/11, and as the time draws nearer (and the excitement too) I'm more curious when to expect the text message... I'm hoping it's right away and not delayed.

We filed 5/19/2011 and are still waiting!

Close to my date... Welcome to the May Filers! :thumbs:

Yeah we're still waiting too.

I wish Ice would see the discussions here because he is getting more depressed each day. There is only so much I can do.

And something happened last night that we need some advice...

Ice went to the hospital to ask some general information about the medical. We haven't gotten NOA2 yet, but we wanted to be prepared. They thought that he wanted to DO the medical, but he told them "Can I do it later when I get a case number?" and they said "when do you think your interview date will be?"

He told them hopefully the end of Oct or beginning of November, and they told him that he should do it now because it is "rude to think that the doctor will just be available when you want him to be...he is very busy and you should just do it now!"

So, he was pushed into doing to medical today and then at the end they told him to come back the next day with a case number. He repeated to them that he didn't have one. Now we're wondering if we just wasted our money.

Do you think they can keep those results from the medical on file (hold) until we get a case number so we can finish the exam (vaccinations)? Or do you think we'll have to do it over again?

I called the hospital but they refused to speak to both of us and told him to come back in tomorrow. :/ (sorry so long post)
