January I-129F filers

[sabi 148]

don't say that!!! yeah, this week has been disappointing. i wanted to feel so excited about it, but i'm feeling a little instead - realising it's still gonna be at least 3-4 months before i'm out there, assuming it takes another few weeks to hear, NVC is being slow, and london can make you wait a while for an interview date a month or six weeks ahead. grrrrrr. i wish we hadn't spent so long putting together our packet, at the time we just wanted to enjoy our engagement and the holiday season and didn't want to rush into visa paperwork, now i wish we'd just sat down and sent it off the day after we got engaged - i'd be there by now (maybe!). no point thnking about, i know.. but hard not to!

fingers crossed for a flurry of vermont activity today! thinking of everyone xo

haha ok ok sorry!

Yeah I know. I was thinking that myself... we were talking about marriage since November but hey it is what it is and we are better off thinking what we could have done

I just realized a lot of my positive thinking is based on how many people are approved during each day and what we forget about is that there are hundreds of petitions in USCIS office and us Vjs here it's just a small % of them all. So if we don't see approvals here, it doesn't mean that people are not getting approved some of them are simply not on this web site or they don't update their status immediately etc

Mine has always been around "now" but GAH each day seems to feel worse and longer. I know I'm technically a December filer (or am I january?) but.... fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

The problem is, the reliability of this site depends on people,,,, they have to come on and update their timelines. So according to THIS site only one approved yesterday at VSC... but a lot of people never return to the site to update which skews the numbers. I think we are all in good shape! Sending good vibes to all of my January Peeps!!!

[sabi 148]

Yes we need good vibes! Every day I'm waking up to a thought that it's going to be today... And falling asleep a bit disappointed ... The closer we get the worse it makes me feel... Our future in stranger's hands

I know what you mean! Last night, my iphone went off 2 times like I received a text message and I was excited because I thought "YES It's VSC saying my petition has been approved!!" but no ;((( both times it was one of my stupid games sending me push notifications ;(

Right. And then you have the folks who don't have the correct Service Center in their timelines (e.g. use Dallas Lockbox or Texas Service Center), which throws off the stats as well.

I am checking those folks too. However there was no approval recently in their "Texas service center world" either

Just noticed a quote in your signature!!! I absolutely love George Carlin!

haha yeah that's how my fiance was driving me crazy! When we were on skype 24/7 before I was noticing sometimes his phone's light being on and straight away thought it was a notification. I even woke him up on a few occasions.. of course it was just a game push notification.... crazy!

That is my birthday kittylondon, maybe I can send my birthday candle wish to you and you will get it then! Mine says May 31st, but I am hoping USCIS will have pitty on me and approve for my birthday...

So do I. One of my all-time favorite comedians. I wish he were still around because he'd have so much material nowadays.

I have relatives who are nurses as well as friends who are and man, the stories they tell. They're saints to be doing the work they do. I bow to nurses.

And then I have my grandmother who was a teacher. I'm glad she's retired because the kids nowadays are so bad!

yes he would... He was one of the wisest and funniest people walking on this Earth! I am sure he would also have something to say about us waiting for months to be together haha! one of my favorite is the one where he talks about flight attendants ! Everytime I fly I think about him

someone mentioned last week that this Wednesday we will see December < January approvals! The day isn't over yet...

[L+T 71]

According to my calculations , next week is transition week. Good News!

Monday and Tuesday will be # December Approvals > # January Approvals

Wednesday is hump day and will be # December Approvals = # January Approvals

Thursday and Friday will finally be # January Approvals > # December Approvals

I LOVE LIDIA, I WAIT YOU!!!

So far correct for VSC according to VJ stats, 1 Dec approved mon and tue vs 0 Jan for these days. 0 approved wed for both, so they were equal... Hope the thur and fri predictions is also correct with big approvals!!! This weeks approvals so far is pretty lame.
