Can't believe all these RFE's but at least the approvals are trickling through also. Good luck everyone, whatever stage you're at.

Also, i love all the wedding dress chat - any of you ladies on pinterest?

How exciting that your interview is coming up soon!!

I'm on Pinterest, but surprisingly don't have a board for wedding stuff. Instead, I have a folder of bookmarks for the assorted items stored in Chrome.

I added you on pinterest :)

Adding you too, MissAAA :)

Hi Sabi, I thought my appearance here went without notice, but I knew if anyone welcomed me it would be you. The wait for our file to get to New Hampshire seems unbearable but what right do I have to complain when I consider your situation. I'm sure that you'll be approved very soon. I'm so looking forward to seeing your post when you get the good news. Good luck! Tommy

Yes, the wait for the papers to get to NVC seems unbearable after waiting so long for the NOA2...I am quite guilty of complaining a lot here! It feels like you are finally getting somewhere only to be waiting yet again. Sorry for all of my complaining, guys! It is even worse now that is around/past 6 months for many of you! Ugh. I can't imagine....ours was just over 5 months...it seems like we were right before CSC actually started working hard. 6 months would have been unbearable. So now we just await our interview date...which will not be in August since that schedule is out already :( I think the dang embassy is totally backed up with applications since the situation in Honduras is deteriorating daily...everyone wants out!

NOA2 @ 7/20/2012 6:15PM EST

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On July 20, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).

Glad to see your approval!! Love the picture mosaic good.gif

Congrats Rui&Kate and Mrjohnblack!

Omg I can't believe all those RFEs! They ARE just stamping them out over the stupidest things that don't really matter I bet just so they can delay the process and buy themselves more time. Just like the "passport photos being too big" really? I don't think so... They don't even use those for anything I don't think except to put a face with a name.... London embassy requires another set of passport photos for the visa....

I hope Paul, Sabi Vos, Tex and the rest of you guys hear something soon! This is $@&%ing ridiculous!

Thank you for keep us in your thoughts!

Anyway, I really do hope for some news next week! It will be 185 days for us on Monday and I would hate to see myself and the rest of you guys still not approved, hitting 190 days...We've been saying it each week, however now seeing the USCIS getting into 18-20th petitions gives me hope, that this madness has to end next week...

Yes. My Congressman should be taking some more intense action on Monday.

Since our contact person at the congressman office is away this week, do you guys think we could contact our senator instead? or should we wait and follow up with the congressman we have contacted originally? Although they are not too helpful and I am really worrying at this stage that our petition is lost somewhere or that we will get RFE! I just want to make absolutely sure we've done anything we could to speed things up!But I don't want to annoy all those people we contact, as that might only slow things down? ny thoughts on that?

Yeah you see Tommy, we post a lot in here and not everyone is as nuts as me to read every single post since my last visit :) plus it's a weekend so many people are just not visiting here that often :) If you said hello on Monday, you would get a flood of welcomes :thumbs:

Anyway, I really do hope for some news next week! It will be 185 days for us on Monday and I would hate to see myself and the rest of you guys still not approved, hitting 190 days...We've been saying it each week, however now seeing the USCIS getting into 18-20th petitions gives me hope, that this madness has to end next week...

Sabi is correct Tommy! I missed your post but did see your quoted post! Welcome to the thread!! :D

We are leaving on Monday (with a stop in Toronto Monday night) to head down to Texas to visit my hunny! So I may not be posting on the thread much this week. but I am sincerely hoping when I get back online that I see many of you with approvals!! :)
