I thought I'd make a thread that allows us CSCers to discuss our upcoming approvals, as all the other threads seem to be dominated by VSCers or TSCers.

Our time is at hand, and just when it is, it seems that CSC is really slowing down. My fiance and I were hopeful of an interview in early October, when I will be visiting, but now that might be in jeopardy with the slowdown and we may have to settle for a late November interview, the next time I can come. I do want to be there for the interview. So it goes. Maybe, though, some adjunctators are just on vacation and will return to action after the 4th of July weekend. So we will see. :)

How about the rest of you? Any of you excited about seeing an approval soon? :)

Are you kidding? ABSOLUTELY.

When I was starting to see March filers get approved, I was very excited! We're hoping to have our wedding at the end of November, on the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who (yes, we are that nerdy... we met in a Doctor Who forum) which we can do if we get approved soon!

Haha, that sounds awesome. Yeah, we've started getting heavy with the wedding planning ourselves. Of course, we cannot officially book or reserve, send out invites, anything like that, but we have already picked out the place, gotten reception ideas set, music selected, and she is even having her wedding dress made. We have a tentative hopeful date too - of December 29th. :)

Me too, I even started looking at the numbers near mine for the first time yestarday. Seems I am in a batch of several I-129F filers within 20 to the left and right of mine. All with "Initial Review" of course.

I'm weighing in. October filer here. Y'all keep your chins up!! Your approvals will be coming soon!! Things happen eventually. I didn't think the waiting would ever end. My girl arrives here Saturday...the wait DOES end!! Good luck everyone!!!

Congratulations - I bet she is very excited.

You are officially the coolest people on this forum.

Yeah, I'm hoping for an approval by early August, as anything after that would mean a push from our targeted October interview date, given the 2 months average time it takes from NOA2 to interview for the Philippines these days.

The reason I think it might be vacation time for some of those adjuctators (besides it being a holiday and summer) is that I noticed last year, too, it picked up in July after a slow June for CSC.

Honestly there really isn't any wedding planning for us. It'll be the two of us, the officiant (a friend of ours), and our closest friends (who are like our family here in Chicago). I have a nice vintage dress, he has his grandfather's suit. That's all we need or want.

I did the whole traditional ceremony for my last marriage. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy laughing.gif

Also, the beautifully-creative Firefly wedding! <3
