Thanks for the link! Tak, masz racje. Mamy nadzieje. smile.png Hey, if my wife is up to it would you want to talk to her on skype or something so you guys can vent to each other or talk about the process in Polish? Just let me know and I'll PM you her contact info if she says ok. smile.png I'm sure she'd love to talk. No biggie if you don't want to talk. wink.png

Thanks so much for keeping your fingers crossed! As it stands we're planning on the child being a Lublin baby, having dual citizenship and never having to go through the struggles his/her parents went through with immigration. smile.png

Oh wow, it's great to know that I'm not the only one who worries. My wife is the exact opposite of me and let's everything roll off of her back and is always positive. I have so much to learn from her. She truly is my model in life and my better half.

Ok, I'll wait for our hard copy. Thanks again for the info!

Would love to have someone to chat with here in Poland about this immigration struggle :)

Not a bad idea for the baby to have a dual citizenship! Will still keep my fingers crossed for you guys to have her visa approved by then :)

Hah that's funny... my husband is just like your wife! always cool, positive and happy :) And he has the biggest heart... I too try to learn from him not too worry as much. He always tells me " Close the tabs, baby!" .

But I can't help but overthink stuff ;)

I hope we also got our NOA1 email. No way to find out now cause my husband is asleep. Hopefully not having nightmares after the Skins lost their first game... Boo.

:)

Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

My husband sent ours to Chicago last Tuesday and he still hasn't received a notice back - should I be worried?

Welcome Vlntine I don't think u should be worried right now. Did u sent it overnight or per regular mail? Just read thru the other post of previous months some people didn't received the email at all.

Good luck for u too.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks Blueberry Pancake for the invitation over here. I am excited that I got my text and email of receipt of the paperwork today. I only sent it in last week. I sent it to the Phoenix Lockbox. It has already been sent back to the California Service Center. Seems kind of silly since I'm in California already....hah! Only government works this way! rofl.gif

Anyway, very excited and hope this process goes fast for all of us! What do the processing times look like for all of us? I'm hoping it's going to be better news than what I've read in other forums. So, good luck to us all! Let's get this party started, USCIS! dancin5hr.gif My hubby is in Amsterdam for now because he has his job there. I'm in California. So, hopefully this won't take too long...I want him here. In the meantime, we're going to probably try for him to travel here. Some people have said that it will be a challenge with immigration--some officers are nice and let spouses in and others are very tough. Crossing fingers and toes!


My husband sent ours to Chicago last Tuesday and he still hasn't received a notice back - should I be worried?

Vintine, I sent mine last Tuesday as well and only received the text today. So, I think it's ok. May just be a delay in the mail. I haven't received the paper copy yet--only the text and email. =) Hope that helps rest assure you! :)

APPROVED 2/13/2014! dancin5hr.gif Day before heart.gif day. rose.gif

Welcome Jenmatt smile.png

As long as your husband shows enough strong ties to his home country, he should be fine... letter from his employer, mortgage, lease etc. Good luck!

Why was your case sent to CSC?

My husband sent ours to Chicago last Tuesday and he still hasn't received a notice back - should I be worried?

Welcome Vlntine smile.png

When was your petition delivered? Like Murf&Reggie said- some people never get their NOA emails and are never able to check their status online.

Give it a few more days! smile.png

Great! I'll send you her contact information shortly. smile.png Thanks for the good thoughts and wishes! We're keeping our fingers crossed too! smile.png

Crazy how we're in the same situation but opposite. smile.png So you guys are living apart too? He's in the U.S. and you're still in Poland? I can't help but overthink stuff either. wink.png My wife is my guide in this crazy thing called life. Always keeps me on the straight and narrow path. lol

I hope you get your email too. Stinks you didn't get it yet. sad.png

Alright! smile.png

I think overworriers like us subconsciously seek out partners who are super positive and happy ... and have qualities we lack...to balance us out wink.png And teach us how to just f'ing chill! Haha wink.png

Update, update! We did get our NOA1 via text and email on Monday night. Just before midnight. Yay! The status already shows initial review smile.png
