Hey May filers. I hope those that have been approved are busy organising for their interviews. And those that haven't, are keeping your spirits up.

Patty I hope you are enjoying your break and the visit with your fiance. I agree with you about feeling for those that can't visit for one reason or another. I feel fortunate, albeit a little miserable at the moment - post holiday blues.

my SO is off to San Antonio for a month today, I'm sulking a bit as the time difference is going to be harder, I've been spoiled by only having a 2 hour time change from Hawaii(although hes 22 hours behind) and once daylight savings starts in NZ, we'll only be 1 hour different in time. Its Sunday here in NZ today, and I haven't left my apartment all weekend or spoken to anyone, I'm just wading my way through a bag of York peppermint patties that I bought back with me :wacko: - I need to get a grip. I'm going to get out today, time to get back into the gym again and other things so I can stop staring at my countdowns 5 times a day :blush: I have 9 days till I go to Sydney for my medical and police check, 33 days till my SO is back from Texas, 75 days till I leave NZ and its 99 days till Xmas. :P

ok guys.. hang in there, it will be over soon. (F)

Hi all, I know I'm a little late to the party but I'm a May filer too. It's getting harder to wait the longer it goes but I figure we've got to be getting close by now.

I just got home and catching up on email & VJ. I had an awesome visit! 7 days in the Western Caribbean...ahh. Way too short tho. I'm feeling the post holiday blues as well. Back to reality and work tomorrow. booo

We faxed our P3 stuff from a Kinkos/FedEx store in Tampa. After the fax went we were woohooing and hugging in the middle of the store. I'm sure people thought we were crazy getting all excited over a fax.

Hey all,

I just got back from two weeks with my man and definitely cried my way home. Had a great time all the same and I am looking forward to this being over. Definitely noticing how this wait is affecting us and I hope that it's not going to cause problems I was afraid of when I first considered long distance.

ANYWAYS! Glad to hear of peoples progress! I'm getting excited to see how many March filers are being approved right now. We'll be next before we know it

yay! for me, the first couple of days was ok, it was the weekend hitting that set me on a low, for the first time in years, I couldn't wait for work on Monday. <_<:lol:

haha I can totally imagine the excitement in the street though!

hmm we can't fax our stuff, Australian consulate doesn't accept scanned or faxed documentation. I did get my serology test done today, I inadvertently went to the NZ US visa medical centre, its just the medical centre directly across the road from work, the doctor was lovely, I wish I could do my medical here, she helped me out and talked me through the process I'd go through in Sydney anyway, she knew exactly what to test for, and my chicken pox test may take longer so shes going to email the doctor's office there, and write me a letter to take with me. above and beyond! ahhh I can't wait to get it sorted out.

I am doing a take 2 on my canadian passport renewal too. who would have thought getting foreign passport photos done would be so complicated!

I have started doing a bit of wedding planning too. :blush:

yay! I'm glad that you are so positive! I doubt any of you VSC'ers will go too far beyond 5 months, maybe 6, but I think that will cap your wait time. (F) over half way already! it won't be long.

...Wow. Their email followups really leave something to be desired. Prior to the notice of a RFE, I called the NCSC, then 15 days later emailed the CSC with a request to know what's going on and what address they have for me. It was a polite paragraph-or-so of an email. Today, nearly a week /after/ the bloody RFE, I get a response email. 'A request for additional documentation was mailed to the address of record on 09/12/2012.'

...Seriously? /This/ is the followup email response that took nearly two weeks for them to produce? Man, I knew government agencies were barely competent, but this is just insane. u_u

Yep. I'm giving them one more day before I call the NCSC (_again_) and try to find out if they actually sent it to the correct address. :P

I can only imagine your frustration level at this point. I really, really hope you receive it soon and it's something easily resolved. An April filer I know got her NOA2 about 10 days after sending the RFE information back to them. Hang in there!
