Sure. Here you go http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/138-adjustment-of-status-case-filing-and-progress-reports/

This is for a different stage of the process and we are probably not able to answer all yoru questions as we are focused on getting to the USA/getting our fiances to the USA to get married. All the very best to you :)

I feel so mixed on the fact that it'll be my 8th month wait soon. I'm so happy that it's going to be that late so I can b*tch about it, but I'm so pissed off because why the c*nt is it taking this long. It shouldn't.. Waiting this long is completely unacceptable. I'm utterly irritated and I want to explode someone's head the way the mountain did it in the game of thrones. I'm fuming.

Yes! We kid about that too. Of course convincing them that it really happened is going to be another matter, entirely!

Amen to that.

''Kids it took ten years to get together.''

haha exactly!

on a side note, I see your interview is scheduled! How exciting for you both! It encourages me at least to see London is relatively speedy - looks like you got interview two months from NOA2. If we could get ours soon, I can still hold out hope of M getting a July interview, which would proably mean my September wedding would still be ok lol.

Thank you :)

Yes, keep your hope for your wedding date. You've left a full year from when you filed. As long as you have all your things together and are ready for the next step at each stage, it moves fairly fast once you're out of the service center. Even if you had a mid August interview, you'd still be able to make a September wedding, depending on how much preparation time you need after POE.

I think the frustration we were dealing with last week was feeling like nobody is taking this wedding seriously anymore. I'm sure it's more my perception than reality, but our 'hopeful date' has changed so many times .... heck, it's changed through three out of four seasons while we sat at TSC .... that it seems like people don't see it as something that's real anymore.

Probably a silly question, but have you guys been able to check your USCIS case status online this weekend? Someone posted in another thread that they checked today and saw they were approved last week, but got no notifications. This has happened on a few occasions. In January there was a period where there was nothing updated online for almost a week and notifications only came out in the mail. So much for this new, wonderful website!

Thank you for the encouraging words. I only need him here 2 weeks before the wedding, that's about it, so pretty much here at the end of August. I finally hit a breakdown today - my mom said something that hurt my feelings indirectly. It all came out - I cried for a good 45 minutes lol.

I thought I was good when I was just under a year out from filing (sent 9/19, wedding this 9/12). But as it creeps closer and I am reaching cancellation dates, I'm getting nervous - but thats bound to happen. I know people say you are foolish for booking stuff, but at least I know I won't get an RFE for that.

Yeah, I've been checking daily - All I ever see is the "My case was received ...blah blah blah"

I totally get it. The only way to make peace with myself and how upset I was, falling apart multiple times a day eventually, was when William pointed out that it was OK to be upset. We earned it. I recall one of the earlier melt downs I had was when my mother made some reference to how we "Should have done our research before we made plans ....." She didn't mean it as an attack, but when you're so exhausted and just trying to get through each day one hour at a time, not knowing when it's going to end, everything is personal and everything hurts. I didn't handle it well in the end at all and it got so bad that there were a couple of days I didn't even get up and go to work. For someone with a track record of about 5 sick days in the last decade, that spoke volumes of how soul destroying this seemingly endless void had become. I started posting honestly about how it affected me recently because I remember feeling like I was the only person who wasn't coping and everyone else was getting through this. Now I realize it wasn't just me and there are probably many feeling the same way I did at the time. So while I was too embarassed to say anything before, I hope that admitting to it openly gives someone else comfort that there is nothing wrong with them. The problem lies with a cruel, cruel system.

I really appreciate your honesty - and the fact that you continue to stick around :) This group is so comforting and it's really nice to know you are not alone through all this. As much as my friends and family care, it's very hard for them to grasp the true feelings as to how this wears on you. I've been trying to put on a brave face, joke about things, etc. I guess I just really needed to let it out earlier - I felt better afterwards, and at least I didn't eat a gallon of ice cream :) I feel like every night I sit around glued to my phone/email/VJ just waiting to hear news of NOA2's. I'm really looking forward to when I am not controlled by TSC.

I'm wishing you all an approval this week! When I spoke to a lady from the NVC on Friday she did mention that they are expediting K-1 visas because of the delay at TSC. Hopefully this is some consolation that once you leave TSC the rest of the journey should be swift! Praying for you all! :)

Hey all! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Fingers crossed for a productive week at the TSC and that this forum floods with approvals! They need to make up for last week!

[ Spring 2005 ] Met online, in-game (WoW)

[ February 2012 ] Finally admitted our true feelings after years of staying hush hush!

[ March 22, 2012 ] Made things official!

[ April 13, 2012 ] Met for the first time in real life and fell in love!

[ July 8, 2014 ] Got engaged!

[ September 10, 2014 ] Filled out paper work

[ September 19, 2014 ] Receipt Date

[ September 23, 2014 ] NOA1

And after 246 hellish days (8+ months) of being trapped in TSC purgatory....

[ May 27, 2015 ] NOA2 :)

[ September 16, 2015 ] Interview at the US Consulate in Montreal!
