We saw some action on out petition yesterday, unfortunately not what we wanted. Got an RFE and have to wait for the hard-copy to see what's missing.. It's still progress I guess.

I hope the rest of you guys just get approvals :)

From the RFE sent and received on this site and another, after you submit evidence, it picks right back up. From what i have read, when the officer gets RFE he/she goes back to petition.

Please hang in there...

Is it just me or are they approving March dates from end of month up to beginning? Seems kinda backwards. just a pattern I see on immifairy and here on the VJ forums. March 3rd still waiting and going out of my mind :-\

Who knows how or why they do what they do. Even though i am a March filer, i was a March 17 on IF list....have you made any calls?

This entire process is stressing me out! TSC received my case March 4 and still NOA2. Every time I call, they tell me my case is in normal processing dates...(definitely is not normal) it will be 8 months in November, while people who filed after me seemed to be getting approved. Some even already married. Does anyone have insight on what the issue may be.

Congrats to all that have left TSC and please don't forget us-we still need your input about the next steps and the Embassy specifics

Congrats even to those that received an RFE-at least someone is looking at your application.

For those still waiting it's no longer a visa journey. It's more like a visa gulag. BUT, keep the faith and as another poster said, keep busy with what you'll need when your fiance'(e') arrives, your wedding plans, and for me simplifying my life so I can spend more time with Jose and less time doing other things. Can I streamline anything like the budget or finances?

Also for me I want to spend more time thinking about the marriage-the wedding is just one day. What can I do to make our lifetime together better? A wedding is one thing-a marriage is another. What can I do to ease the cultural differences we have? We do things very differently, which is what I love about this relationship, but how can I make that easier on both of us? How can I make him feel less "alien" when he's here? There are things I can do besides focusing on how f'ing long my application has been at TSC

Sorry I didn't mean to sound so positive. But there it is!
