UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

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,

Folks, I just got approved. I'm so sorry, for I know you deserve to get it before I do. VSC has taken something that should be a celebration and made it very awkward. I'm sorry, my friends. I will NOT abandon you as you wait...we are in this together!

Congrats Tigerflower!!! I am very happy for you!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I have to admit I have checked USCIS twenty times this afternoon.... Since tomorrow's USCIS's weekend and they have Monday off, maybe we'll see something next week?

OMG I Can't believe my eyes

We are approved too yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Im jumping and screaming of hapiness

I will be there for y , until all of us have their approvals

Vroum! Congratulations!!!! I hope the rest of your journey is smooth sailing!!!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats Vroum and Tigerflower! About time I say!!!

Does anybody know how long it takes for the RFE to come to you, I tried calling USCIS to ask if they can tell me whats the RFE about so I can start preparing, but of course they refuse to tell me anything.

Also has anyone tried making a 2nd visit with the VWP while waiting for this K1?
