:huh::huh: What a ride? You were at Stop 1 for a heart beat... you waited barely over 2 months for your N0A2. How about the people who are still waiting from March, April, May, June, July and August? They're taking a ride or a shafting... whatever you want to call it. It's not your fault that CSC approved you ahead of them. Congrats to you and yours. BUT.. "what a ride?" Give me a break.

We have to support one another.

Maybe that "ride" was not over 2 months but longer - before the application was even mailed. Some couples have been dealing with long distance for a very long time.

We never know what people are going through.

We never know what people are going through.

:no: How does a dozen or so people saying Congrats support me? I'm over 100 days into this with no valid reason for a delay other than incompentence at USCIS. You wait for 100 days or more and then you come back to me and tell me that we're here to support one another. We're all here to get approved. Only a very few of those who have gone ahead actually come back to lend their support, such as Gary with his timeline updates. He doesn't have to do that but he does. That's support. Jumping online and saying "what a ride" after only 60 days wait for your N0A2 isn't support... that's happiness for yourself and telling everyone here serves what purpose? Sure they have a right to express their happiness but no matter what you or anyone else says.. those who are still at CSC that are over 100 days of waiting for their N0A2 really only want one thing.. our N0A2!! I hope you get yours sooner than later.. but only until you've waited and waited and waited some more can you ever understand how any of us feel about it. The clock starts ticking when you you submit your application. How long you waited and were away from your loved one BEFORE you submitted your application doesn't add into the waiting time AFTER you submitted it. Gee.. just because someone waits a year or more before they submit the application for a K-1... that's supposed to make us all feel sorry for them?
