The NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[AustinCanada 681]

I'm all over the place with a million thing in my head

I hope your OCD is under control!

Soloenta, are you going to start the diet that alepenaflor sent?

I am starting it tomorrow since I try to be as much of a vegetarian as I can be ( don't tell this to my mom, or else she'll start forcing me to eat meat ) I will be replacing the meat dishes with either eggplant or squash.

I'm a fish, chicken, beef, lamp and pork "vegetarian".

Well if organizing my huge closet according to cooler pattern and style of clothing is not considered OCD then it's under control lol

I guess my main problem is that I never know what to eat so I just eat without thinking. Well gotta get in the groove to get back into shape.

Can u share it with me plz? I didnt see it posted on this thread. Feel free to PM me. Gotta start getting in shape...especially with the holidays coming up soon. I've gained so much weight with all this immigration journey stress and of course life. The saddest part is that i literally got a bald spot on the right side of my head. ? so alll to say...need to start eating healthier, go on a diet, get active, and not stress ? how is that possible with NVC?! Sorry just had to vent but Im glad NVC seems to be getting better.

Good luck on ur interview Romi! Cant wait to be at that stage! ?

[Maria&Abdo 102]

God willing!

Exactly totally random, so much for first come first served. I think it's on purpose. I would be easy to make the process more officiant but they just don't want it to be efficient.

God willing you and Samreen will be next What joy that will be. I hope they are speeding up not just being NVC.

Would it make a difference?

Hahaha must be an amazing feeling.

I hope so! Samreen deserves it and next wk will be her week!! ?

With all the randomness of NVC scan dates I have a feeling NVC will get thru Sept quicker and go thru October for a quick CC for u Soloenta. On the other thread i saw sept scan date along with oct 6th scan date. ?? So there's hope my friend. God willing soon we will be reunited with our loved ones for sure in 2015!! Insha'llah

[samreen23 461]

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes. Praying hard for a cc next week! I can't believe i m actually going to have to check in another Nvc thread. 7th thread

[samreen23 461]

A friend of mine got case complete email today. Scan date Sept 12.

*** l wonder how NVC works, skipping dates at random***

They must have a AOS package with last aug scan date. Because since they got an email their cc would have happened a week back. Yup Nvc is a mad house.

[Maria&Abdo 102]

A BIG CONGRATS TO ALL THE RECENT CCs!!! ???????.

FOR THE REST OF US WAITING.....LET'S PRAY SO NVC KEEPS UP THE PACE SO IT GETS BACK TO THEIR OLD STANDARD....30 DAYS....SO WE CAN ALL GET OUT OF NVC QUICKLY.

By the grace of God, CASE COMPLETE!!! as of this evening

Last scan date: AOS August 14th, IV Package: Sept 19th

Got a checklist on 10/21 to submit wife's original documents (birt certificate, marriage certificate) instead of copies (they were certified copies)

Instead of getting the original documents from overseas, I called multiple times until I spoke to a superviser. He asked some time to review the file.

It took about 1 week for him to receive the file.

And today it was reviewed by the same superviser and case completed. AOS status changed to N/A within 10 minutes of superviser confirming case complete.

Congratulations!!! For some reason, they always question marriage certificates from Pakistan. Had the same issue and supervisor resolved it. Alhumdulillah.

I would have never thought I'd see such a vegetarian but there's a first time for everything welcome to the club

Surely!! I'll PM you, I'm pretty sure alepenaflor won't mind

Awww I'm with you on that bald spot!! I've lost so much hair I'm actually thinking of just shaving it all

Thank you sooo much!! We need all the luck and prayers for it I'm praying for everyone to be done asap with this, this waiting period really sucks!!

7th NVC thread!!??

But....... next week is going to be Samreen's week! Fingers crossed!

[romii 150]

I can never understand how people become such organized

I literally have a huge pile I dig through to sort each month, but no use since it becomes a pile again a day or so later

Yes and not counting April cuz I got approved 23rd April and Nvc had not recieved my case till may but oh well...next week it's going to be over inshAllah unless I get another checklist *shivers*

Same here I m glad my husband is not a neat freak otherwise he would have kicked me out of his room in a week

[Soloenta 2,218]

To be honest I just felt relieved for the waiting game..don't be surprised if you are not super thrilled like you expected to be months go ... I don't know if it's just me but this has been a rough journey ! I'm just glad it's about to be over .

Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful but not jumping around from joy like I imagined I would a year ago .

Oh believe me when I was told I had CC I was relieved but not thrilled, partly because of the very long wait and the errors that happen with this process but because I'm scared of AP which most everyone in Egypt gets unless your Christian. So I do understand completely.

Soloenta, are you going to start the diet that alepenaflor sent?

To be honest no, fruit and veggies are so expensive since we're in a drought so I can't do the diet. But I have a great recipe for a tomato veggie soup you can make it Beef Veggie or just veggies.

Going to sound strand but it's a copy cat for Campbell soup.

One 64oz/2 quartz Vegetable juice

Package of frozen veggies / can use fresh but frozen is faster

Half a bag or 1 to 1 1/2 cups barley this helps lose fat and if it's hulled / not processed much, much better.

hulled/not processed barley must be soaked all night or 24 hours then cooked first in plenty of water.

One can 18oz/1pound 2oz Tomato paste

Cilantro I think its Coriander in some places, correct me if I'm wrong. I use a lot but use to taste

Salt to taste.

I add Garlic to taste

Optional,

1 pound ground beef, I grind my own you cut on fat but can use chicken breast put in chunks in processor and ground that way.

Directions,

Cook Barley first when soft throw everything in hahaha and fill the bottle of Veggie juice with water add that to the pot also

Cook until done add Cilantro at end.

Serve Weight Watchers say you can have as much of this as you want it doesn't count.

I let it cool then put in Ziplock bags and freeze so I always have it at hand if I'm starving.

Usually can't keep it long my sneaky parents love it so much they steal it from me hahahaha
