ok 5 days of positive day countdown for Lengs83!

Day 4 positive thought :

This process can be super stressful at all times! instead of concerning yourselves with the process talk about the things you want to do together when you finally do finish the process and be together. also I would suggest those who are not busy to find a hobby or something to do in between time to keep your mind busy with other things. if so I promise this process will feel like minutes instead of decades..

stay encouraged !

( didn't count the weekends nor Monday for holiday :) )

ok 3 days of positive day countdown for Lengs83!

Day 3 positive thought :

Look at this process as just that... a process.. with every process there is a season and a end.. don't make this process your marriage, meaning don't lose love , don't lose hope, don't lose faith in why you started in the first place. you and your spouse are married no matter what country you to will reside in at the end of all this..

stay encouraged!

hi@all

i have some news,

earlier today my dear hubby called uscis once again and miraculously got to speak to a supervisor who first tried to feed him with empty phrases like "pending consideration"., call again later and so on, but my hubby was persistent(oh i love him so much :) ) and now they will do a research on my daughters case and we should expect an answer in 5!! days.

i need everyone to pray with me and send good thoughts to the universe so we will finally get good news for my girl!

well just called the call center and VSC is currently approving cases fromSeptember 2014. She was shocked that i put in 3 requests sofar and none of them was ever routed to the CAO (Customer Assistance Officer) which is the oversight office for the service centers. she said their policy is that if a case is not resolved after 2 requests they are required to send it higher on the 3rd one which never happened. so she said to call monday after the 60 days are up and put in a request to the CAO

you know from all the times i have called she is the first one who actually knew what she was talked about and actually looked into the case. i will say that they also assume we know nothing or dont do research first and they can get away with the bare minimum effort, until you ask them the hard questions and put them on the stop, lol.

It would be funny if it comes now in the next few days
