In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

Here's the nifty part. While seeing the same "Initial Review" appear on your screen (or hopefully Not!), you'll notice your case number is displayed in the upper right corner. It's not sound programming, as it is displayed in a text field, not just text. But because of the way it is displayed, you can click in the box and change the last digit (or two or three) to see other petitions status. It doesn't reveal anything personal about the other petitioner, but you can see the date and their status to compare against yours.

Make sense?

Thank you Tigerflower! That's pretty cool! Well there's the two files before mine that are still in "Initial Review" status too. Appreciate you for sharing this with us. :-D

I'm planning on leaving mid-October :) I hope they will tell me right away if I get the visa. Once I know it, I will be booking my flight. There is still so much stuff to do though! Visa-related, I am now somehow really glad that the only things I will have to bring with me are my passport and the invitation letter. It feels good not to even think about documents that I might notice to have forgotten once I am on the train. :lol: I have a good feeling, I hope it will prevail.
