I generally agree with what you have to say on this forum but I must take exception with this last statement. Maybe we should in more cases down here but it just ain't our way or Boston harbor would

136 people aren't going to change a law. 136,000 people maybe. The count is so low because we at VJ are such a very very very small piece of the prospective immigrants out there. Also, I didn't "come

Received NOA2 today by text/email. Total shock. No letters/calls to Senators/Congressmen etc, No clue why we got so fast approved. I feel awful for those that have waited for ever and still waiting. Thought I would post this to maybe give some hope that TSC is speeding up... just not from the top of the pile unfortunately.

I'm at a loss of what to do next, wasn't prepared for this! I'm really truly sorry for those that have waited..my heart aches for all of you. I really expected an approval sometime next year.

I (Todd) am the petitioner from the U.S. / Beth is in/from Philippines :thumbs:

So how bad is it that now I'm telling myself that NOT getting approved right now is a good thing? I was thinking that a December or January wedding I can stomach, but projecting into the future I'm not sure I want my anniversary to fall that close to the holiday! Seriously, can you say "rationalization"?

Hi all, I have posted a new topic(below), if you guys have any idea, let me know also. thanks.

I need help, I am so happy that finally we got our NOA2 but then I realize a big potential problem. We have already planned our wedding on 10/3 this year and my fiance just got the NOA2 last monday (7/28), it seems like most likely the interview will be scheduled around mid-Sep, after they approve it, they will take his passport for visa printing, and it might take up to 2 weeks or more for him to receive the passport which means he might not have his passport with him in Oct.

But he NEEDS the passport to travel to the US before Oct, the wedding has been planned more than half year ago and most money has been paid, his friends and fmailys have also bought the tickets and booked hotel, we cannot pospone the wedding. I am really worried now, any idea how we should manage this situation?

I'm not sure you can do anything... I know people who have applied for other visas and they were told that there was nothing that they could do because they knew in advance that they would have to surrender their passport. My only suggestion would be to keep checking to see if any earlier openings come up for your interview.

Ummm, you probably shouldn't have set a date for the wedding. You are uk, & it seems they send the visa within a week of the interview. So, provided the interview is 2 weeks before your wedding, you should be ok. It may take longer though...hopefully not.

Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck.

I am the petitioner.
