What's the main song in your wedding ? Let's share

[Andie 147]

I hope tomorrow is your day, my friend!

- and I hope the same for you. I'm too scared to plan anything further.. but its nice to hear other peoples ideas. We've both been married before, so I guess we're thinking of something simple.

Goodness sake, in the midst of this craziness of waiting and WAITING, I think I've lost my mind completely. QUESTION: So I've been checking on the USCIS site to check the status of my case. It says that they received my petition on March 8th, however, on my NOA1 it is dated for the receipt of 03/08/12 and the notice date of 03/12/12. Is my NOA1 date 03/08/12 or 03/12/12? I was thinking March 8th but I am getting myself confused when checking the timeline to find out the NOA1 date. If it's indeed March 8th then I've reached the 207 days mark.

Same thing for me... I used 3/8 since everything on the USCIS site says that date. I had 3/12 initially, but changed it to 3/8. So yes, you'll be 7 months on Saturday like me.

Is it normal to be feeling super resentful, hateful, and plain crazy?? The file before me received a RFE dated 8/20/12 and the file AFTER mine received a RFE dated 9/28/12. Pretty much there is only one other I-129 petition besides mine left sitting in "Initial Review." I am going to call tomorrow to my attorney and USCIS to pitch my fits. This is utterly ridiculous--I'm screaming bloody murder!!!

I wonder if yours is one of the files in my stack that I'm watching? Did you use an attorney to file?

I edited my timeline on VJ using the receipt notice date on USCIS case status because that's when they received our application.

I hear you. I went through all sort of negative emotion while we were waiting for NOA2. Just have a little more patience it will come.

My case # ends in 2493 filed on March 8th. There is only 1 other file besides mine that is on that date. No, initially when I sent my paperwork, I did it myself. Last month, my relatives and parents thought I had screwed up on my paperwork so my parents insisted on hiring an attorney which I did for the sake of peace (tired of listening to them nag on and on about everything with this process). I mean it's already stressful for me as it is dealing with the waiting, but to have others around you--family/relatives question me and my ability to properly file paperwork too? My goodness...Anyhoo, I don't know Islandgirl, most likely we may be in the SAME stack of files that the idiotic morons are purposely looking over day in and day out. What a waste of my tax money!!

On Nargie's list it has almost everybody's case numbers. As you mentioned in your last post it ends with 45 I can see that. HoneyBoo-Boo wrote hers in this thread before but it must have removed by the moderator because you guys' post contains private information (case numbers). As I remember HoneyBoo-Boo has the one ends with 93.

AmazingLove, I'm in venting mode tonight. Sorry. I'm trying with every ounce and bits and parts of me to be patient. Goodness, I don't know how many times in a day that I recite the Serenity prayer out loud and under my breath. Anyhoo, I will try to do better with being patient.

Islandgal, don't you start fretting. I think that's what really gets us messed up in our heads is when we see others' files and worry that that might happen to us too. I know this is funny comin' from me tonight since I'm in such a bitter mood, but THINK POSITIVE! Okay? I'm praying mighty hard for all of us who are waiting, especially one of our members in this thread who's petition is from February and they've still not receive any word yet. God Almighty, please help us stay sane during all of this!

HoneyBoo-Boo, I read one topic you posted, you said that you forgot to include Statement of Intent from both of you? is this true?

Yes, I did. When I realized this, I had my fiance sent me his and then I mailed it off to Vermont in July with both our letters. *sigh* Please God, don't tell me that that's probably the cause of the delay.

This is plain crazy. My head hurts. God grant me the serenity....
