Soloenta, I read what someone wrote about your font size. I am very sorry. Sometimes people comment on things without consideration for circumstances or feelings. My father just had cateract and LASIK surgery, which did not go well. My heart goes out to you.

I guess ignoring the person is just the best thing to do. People make comments and laugh without even considering the person's feelings. Its really bad if that's how people treat each other here.

Awww thank you so much Tbthree thank you your so sweet and I'm so sorry about your father I pray he get's better soon. Mine will get better with time but I will have to have it done again but this time by one I'm sure is the best.

Yes I heard about the comment I know who it's from so it's no big deal I put that person on ignore. My parents taught me that God may take his time but he never forgets when someone hurts one of his children. So I leave it in his kind hands to do what he sees fit. I would be so afraid of seeking God's wrath at this stage of the game the journey isn't over yet. And mind you I wish no one harm not one not even her. I only wish her well. :D. Thank you again. (F) (L) (F)

You have a very kind heart. I pray you get the second surgery done perfectly. You are in my prayers. (F)

Hi Soloenta, and Samareen 23 I have been following you guys since I130 thread (february). I new all the stress and ####### we all went through from uscis. My pd is June 2013, stayed in national benefits center for 6months, then shipped to Nebraska service center in Dec 2013. Then waited for another 4months till approval on April 10, 2014. Got to nvc April, 29. Paid fees June 4, iv July 17, scanned iv July25. Damn checklist for aos on august 22 sent checklist august 26, and scanned august 29. hopefully won' t get another checklist. I know how you guys feel, I feel exactly the same. I miss my daughter so much, no one cares about our plight. I was a silent watcher on saylin's thread till you created this fantastic one. I hope and pray we all get cc's soon. I am pulling for you soleonta for next week. and samareen 23 you are next my dear. you'll should continue to keep the faith, this too shall pass.

Going through last winter, worst in 35 years in toronto (worst in my lifetime lol), I kept telling myself that this is the last one and I can tough it out.....well now im sure im in for another round of bitter cold and nasty snow storms. yay.

That nasty winter didn't spare the US anyway... I believe it hit 50 degrees below in Chicago. Propane prices jumped nearly four-fold during January across the US.

Hopefully, you'll cross the border in time to escape the worst of this winter season.

Thank you so much, God willing one day I will have it done again. You know we have to think of all the wonderful people we've met here for me that would be you. Saylin, Samreen, MoBar, Jsumner and his spectacular wife, Austin so many to mention all of them and look at all those that have posted here. They way outnumber those that aren't so nice. :D(L)

No worries girl(soloenta), you are truly a sweetheart. You always have kind words, by God's grace I hope you have a beautiful married life with your husband like my parents. A true soulmate. I do not like fresno, and Bakersfield I call them cow and hick town. Although I want to go to san Diego, I love that city. I really hope we all get to meet, it would be great. So how is the job market in cali. I left my job at Kaiser permanente(claimes adjuster).

Geez, I left yesterday with 2 pages and now there are 7 pages of soil for me to sift through. People should just stop posting anything so that I don't have to read anything at all.

They have until the 20th of this month to get back to me before I start calling and getting crazy because they think this whole process is a joke.

So far though (FOR ME) NVC has been decent with their timing, I'm trying to be patient until my calender deadline is reached before I get crazy because USCIS was just so terrible for me. A year and a half of my life wasted by those people.
