I'm sorry if it seems insensitive for some of us to talk about NVC stuff in this thread. I can't speak for anyone else, but it surely wasn't my intent to be insensitive. I have come to think of many of the people in this thread as friends that have been a huge support to me going through this crazy journey. I hate to leave and not post in this thread, when I have gotten so close to many of you, just because I have moved forward to the next step. I'm may be on he next step but I am still going through the same journey as the rest of you. But, I do understand how you must feel, and will move on the to October NVC thread. I hope to see many of you there soon! Take care and God bless....see you in the next phase!!!

I think its rude to shun people that have moved onto the next phase. As long as it is only one or two posts and doesn't take the entire board off topic, then what is the harm? I have found the people on this topic much more polite and willing to answer questions...we've bonded over shared frustrations and are willing to offer guidance and support and to share information with each other. I've tried posting questions in other topics, but I always end up coming back to this one with my tail between my legs because I either get ignored or receive terse replies.

Its not as if those people are saying "HA HA HA! I'm on the NVC STEP and you AREN'T!"....They're just asking for information...lets be happy for them, guide them as usual and continue to make them feel welcome. Who knows, maybe later on, when we are in that step and have questions, those people ahead of us will be able to provide answers....not so much if we are rude to them now. unsure.png

Not trying to be rude to anyone and NEVER said " stop posting here" .... But this is a thread for people waiting for an approval.. The NVC info doesn't apply to us.(YET) It is very difficult to read NVC information for the rest of us who are waiting. NOBODY said they are bragging or rubbing it in.

If I want to know something about NVC, I goto the NVC or send a PM. just sayin.

no need to get defensive. Just asked for some sensitivity.

I think SHUN is a harsh word and never anyone's intention. ALl I said was it is insensitive. There are threads for each step of the way...

So "CHILL" and have a little empathy

I know all about VJ, I've been around since 2008... I am still in contact with MANY members from years ago. I get the "VJ LOVE"

Thanks Jmack and Deltagal for being sweethearts and understanding the post !heart.gifluv.gif

Couldn't have said it better myself! yes.gif

This thread is a sort of "home" for a lot of people and posting little updates about their steps in the journey is just a way to keep connected to the people they started with. I enjoy reading about everyone's latest updates and accomplishments on here and I get excited every time people reach a new milestone. When I was still prepping to submit our documents, I scoured every monthly filers thread and found it super helpful to read all the updates from people and see them post about each new step. Let's stay positive and happy for people, even if they're further along than others in their visa process.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians!

Guys..... i knw i am goin to ask somthing off topic.... but really need ur suggestions regarding AOS.

My wife is going to visit me very soon... and we are planning to go back together to US (fingers crossed)..... In the mean time, if we got NOA2 and then we need to submit AOS. Then few queries below:

1. Can someone another submit all the documents for NVC process on her behalf.

2. Do she need to submit her job letter to NVC for AOS (as she is going to resign from her job before coming here) or its only income tax return that she can submit.
