Hi everyone,

Congrats to those who got approvals. For those who didn't, hang in there. Your day will be coming soon! I just checked USPS and our RFE reply was received on Saturday. Today, they changed from RFE to RFERR on the USCIS website. Hopefully this is a good sign that they'll move quickly! I'm fairly swamped with work today and tomorrow but will try to run the numbers later on tonight when I need a break.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Initially filed for K1 visa - Feb 23 2012

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've abandoned this application

We married on Aug 24, 2013 in a small ceremony in MA

We'll be applying for a CR1 / IR1 visa as soon as we are able

Watch this space for updates!

Hi everyone,

Congrats to those who got approvals. For those who didn't, hang in there. Your day will be coming soon! I just checked USPS and our RFE reply was received on Saturday. Today, they changed from RFE to RFERR on the USCIS website. Hopefully this is a good sign that they'll move quickly! I'm fairly swamped with work today and tomorrow but will try to run the numbers later on tonight when I need a break.

They did almost the same with me. My RFE was received 9/11/12, and they updated on USCIS website from RFE to RFERR on 9/12/12. I wish for all of us a quick decision soon. On visa journey website, the estimated wait time for RFE at VSC is 15 days, Hopefully !!!!!!!!

I wish if VSC do specify certain day(s) to go over RFE Responses that they received.

I'll have to look them up again and post some links. Not too sound a bit girlie, but I'm really looking forward to my fiancee putting on my wedding ring. *cough* *cough* me man, strong :P

We actually have what we call "sparkle parties" on SKYPE when he shows me my wedding set and then he takes the laptop outside so the sun hits all the sparkles... It makes us happy ...

So I really understand your sentiments.

The Bulgarian Embassy sends the letter via post too.. It took me 5 working days to receive it. (I called the embassy - they told me they sent it 5 days ago. I freaked out. Immediately after I hung up the phone my mother texted me that the letter had arrived :D )

But UPS -> USA - Bulgaria is taking forever!
