I'm pretty sure we all would like to see everyone get approved. You're like a rain cloud.

Geez, thanks, that's not offensive at all.

In any case, the lucky ones seem to be those with a Receive date of Jan 5th - so we will probably see more approvals in that cohort over the next few days!

Hi Everyone, I've been stalking this forum for MONTHs. I was thrilled to see a Jan 2015 filers forum but truthfully I was more excited to see that there is a Jan 2015 TSC forum. I barely squeaked int

I'm going to run the risk of going against the grain here and maybe upsetting some of you. Comparing your cases to other people's in an exercise in futility if not frustration. No two cases are alik

I apologize if it seemed offensive as that wasn't my intention. Sarcasm isn't very readable over the internet.

So what's everyone's summer (or winter) plans? My kids and I just signed up on this website called kids in parks which will help you map out parks in your area who participate and it includes special fun activities and animal/nature information which is unique to the park you're visiting. My fiance will be here for two months and we are going to spend weekends visiting all these places.

I'm going out to visit my fiancé in July for a week. Hopefully I'll bring along good news...but only time will tell!

At least visiting will break up the separation time which is really good. Other than my trip...working and hoping for a speedy NOA2 and smooth process thereafter :)

Hello fellow Jan 2015 filers!

I filed through a lawyer thinking it would be safe. That added two months to my filing. Now waiting and waiting. When I see CSC timelines it reminds me how unfair this world is.

Well I will be in touch!

Thank you

I almost filed with a lawyer back in September and ended up doing it myself and waiting until January. In the long run I'm glad I didn't file with one but wish I would have done it sooner.

Perhaps another two months (realistically) for us beginning to mid January filers...

A month or less would be better however :)

Just hoping for by mid August so I can help him fill out the paperwork.
