What Patty Said.. it should move fast after the RFE, I'm sure you will be getting a wife for Christmas. :lol:

I was originally hoping, with how fast the CSC /was/ moving, that she could potentially have a husband for her birthday, but no amount of A Wizard Did It is going to make that happen now. She'll have to settle for the package of Stuff we're going to send her.

Awwww, they have been approving the RFE's really fast so there is still hope. Keep staying positive, although it is a challenge.

I guess the first step is to get the darned thing first in order to respond! Christmas isn't that far away. I hope the VSC May filers will have their NOA2's by then aswell, VSC are most certainly cranking them out at long last, I'm still expecting to see the first batch of April filers to get approved by Friday if not Monday.

Yeah, I called the NCSC today. Not only can they not tell me what address it was mailed to, I was informed that I should allow up to 15 days (!) before I contact them about it not being here. Apparently, the government expects _everything_ to take half a month. So I get to keep obsessively checking the mail until I get it or until the 28th. u_u

This is doing nothing to improve my already-low estimation of government agencies, I fear.

I've been thinking of packing in work and staying with my love for a month while we wait. Is that risky? We were on the road to calling it a day this week and something needs to happen

AnnaLouise, you are the beneficiary correct? in that case, and I assume you are in the US now on the VWP, you can stay, as long as you don't overstay your 90days, to be on the safe side, leave at day 88 or 89. If you can afford to do it, then do it!

So how did all ya'll meet your other half??

Back in May of '08 I went on a 4-day cruise by myself to celebrate my birthday. I was hagning out in the piano bar and started chatting with the entertainer and made the mistake of buying him a beer. LOL We talked a lot more throughout the cruise and ended up dating after. I work in the port that the ship docked in so I was able to meet him for lunch.

I entered into this very cautiously, being that he is a cruise ship entertainer after all, but he turned out to be a wonderful person who has brought me so much happiness over the years that I'm ready to take the next step with him. (L)

That's our story! What about yours?

Hah. I wish.

No, the odds are looking like the hyper-intelligent beings at CSC probably sent it to the wrong address again, so in a couple more days I'll get to call them back and see if I can get them to give me useful information somehow. u_u

We met in Sept 2011 while I was working in a bar restaurant in Maine. It was all by chance that we got together. His friend had just finished the Appalachian trail and was in town for one day to meet up with my man. It just happened that he was Scottish American and got excited when he saw this Irish pub that sold Guinness ( a bar my now Fiancee never went into) ANYWAY they came in on a day I was working and I took one look at this man with a handsome beard and I was sold! What made it more coincidental is that I worked/ was good friends with a girl whose boyfriend worked with my fiancee and her boyfriend just happened to drop by to pick her up from work and bumped into my fiancee that day. So I asked who he was and two weeks later we were introduced and that was it. We were inseperable.

Twitter. She saw some comments of mine about a wbgame via a mutual friend of ours, and corrected my mistakes on some math I'd done. Then we started talking regularly, moved to IM and then Skype, then she came to visit back at the start of this year, I proposed to her (by making a video game for her to play with the question at the end), she accepted, and now I'm stucking waiting on a RFE that probably got sent to my physical address rather than my mailing address.

Currently getting my passport renewed so I can go visit her - if we're lucky, we can arrange it so I can be there for her interview, but the way the CSC is faffing about with our case it might just be a regular visit - which will be more than good enough for me, even if I'll want to just bring her home at the end of it.
