NVC Filers - April 2012

Thanks so much, i tried going through trinidad's portal, but rarely trinis do their timeline so im curious..

Silly people I much prefer people who fill out their timelines completely Not only does it feel good to put in dates, but it really helps out others!

You can always try whispering all of them and see what they say...

You're welcome

I whispered a few people last year with questions about their timelines. Helped me out a lot as I gathered data for my spreadsheet to predict time frames

it is fun! you have to be creative sometimes...you know?

I'm getting the feeling that I wouldn't want to be either! Don't imagine it will help the agents that part of my husband's email mentioned that Riley the NVC operator yelled at me and made me cry

Cheers for husband

Really? You've heard of it? Awesome! And now you know a participant

I know lots of useless or not so useless things

IT is wonderful to talk to people going through the exact same thing.

For a while I couldn't log on here and read things during the USCIS stage. We had such a long wait, I hated seeing people that filed months after us getting NOA2s, flying through NVC, and getting interviews, while we sat in CSC. (for the past year, we have been the longest to get through USCIS, with out an RFE)

It got to the point we doubted ourselves. That we made the wrong decision and I should have kept my application for PR in Canada going. It took forever to get through USCIS, but there was a silver lining to that. Darnell, of all people (LOL), pointed out. Because it took so long we could get an IR-1 visa and tell USCIS to stuff it for the next 10 years. Or we could file for his citizenship after three years of his IR-1, and tell USCIS to stuff it for good!

Then I started to cheer up. I started to make friends, I found an awesome kindred spirit in Shell. I have someone to share triumphs with, and someone to cry with me. I have a whole community of people that UNDERSTAND!! Sure, your family backs you up, but they don't understand. They don't know what it's like, the paperwork, the stress.

When I see people getting their NOA2, their cases complete, getting interviews it makes me happy. I get excited for them! They now have their happy ending. Eventually we all will have ours too!

yes the stress. And different people get worried about different things so then your worry doesn't seem so bad.

You cry on me, I will be forced to go to Winnipeg and cry with you!

I'm starting to think they've doled out all the Montreal appointments for May and I'll hear in another week that we'll be June.

Should I buy my ticket to Winnipeg for May 15th-ish, or wait it out a little longer?

Not that I want you to have to wait, but do I get the $50.00 if I'm right?

I'm reading through the posts and multi quoting, when I realize I'd better stop or my response will take an entire PAGE of posts!!!

Thank goodness for Skype. And free long distance to Canada!!

Mr. Sheeshka and I spend our entire evenings and weekends with Skype on. At night we both go to bed and talk on the phone until we fall asleep. With the two hour time difference, he usually listens to me sleep. He has said it's hard for him to fall asleep now with out a phone jammed between his head and the pillow! There's been more than one occasion my alarm goes off at 5:30 and wakes him up at 3:30!

I BELIEVE in Skype. Skype is what has kept my husband and I communicating day in, day out, night in, night out. Thank God for Skype, Magic Jack, and Blackberry Messenger. We're also thankful for overseas calling plans and calling cards. Sheeshkabelle, you guys aren't alone... my husband and I spend hours together doing our separate things and then talking about it... on Skype! It's so bad that one day he was looking for something and yelled my name to help him look for it, forgetting that this wasn't one of my visits!

You're welcome - anytime!

LOL sometimes Trav's alarm wakes me up through my skype headset!!!! GRRRR!!! I don't wanna be up at 4:30!

...Not even for love huh

That's a BEAUTIFUL post... and I identify with what you're saying. This is such a unique journey - it's so comforting to find a community of people who know EXACTLY what you're going through, who offer help and advice, and who are generally understanding and non-judgmental.

I think I'm gonna miss THIS thread when my case is complete, interview date set, visa approved and in hand... what do y'all say, REUNION anyone???

I was just on the phone with my Wife's senator office and we email them the same package that was sent to NVC, i call them back to confirm that they have it, they do. Now the woman was about to call my wife to get from her signature before taking action, Yay!!! i am being proactive
