Progress thread for TSC filers now between NVC and Interview Stage

[dizzdemey 31]

I'm literally sick to my stomach waiting.

[CheekyMonkeys154 27]

I hope they are working through weekend to get things done. Mine went from AP to issued in hours. Guess they are working hard.

I'm not sure how they are doing things, but it seems that the priority note sped us through.

Feel guilty for getting it issued so quick, but I'm extremely happy.

I think that the issue is here, this thread was specific for TSC people but yours actually went to cali and not Texas. So you have been waiting 6 months less than we have. So people do tend to take issue with that. Because you got issued the same day as we did and you filed 6 months after I did. This thread was specific for people waiting several months for an NoA2 from Texas. But you I realize are actually from California not Texas and have been waiting a lot less so you will likely find that people will not be so happy about that on this thread. And I know she's pregnant but a lot of us have wedding dates and children. Just to give you some idea why people will be a little upset about it.

Agreed. Scott hadn't seen his 15 month old son in 14 months (his only son and for medical reasons we cannot have more children) my older boys are devastated and our wedding is in a few days. My heart is literally breaking right now. This waiting for months in Tsc and now this are a struggle

I apologise for being happy I get to go home.

I won't post here again.

No need not to be happy to go home. Everyone should be and has a right to be. You just seeemed to not understand why people were upset so I was shedding light on the subject so you would just understand where everyone is coming from.

[JamesRenee 47]

You missed the point. No one should be getting prioritized over anyone else at this stage. And then expect others who've been waiting over 300 days to be happy you just got bumped in front of all of us. We would also like to have our loved ones home as well. There should be no priorities for anyone unless it's a humanitarian reason.

[MSCastillo 27]

I think the stress of all these situations and the unknown is what makes it so frustrating to see people speeding through and makes people even more frustrated. Never on a personal level to you ,because deep down we all know that this process is rubbish when all you wanna do is be with the one you love.

Congratulations for you tho BryterMoon!

And for you guys waiting i hope you hear something today! you've all been waiting far too long

[CheekyMonkeys154 27]

Yes exactly well put, regardless of who it is people speeding through is like a punch in the gut, it is not specific to whom it is.

[dizzdemey 31]

With all this being said, are the updates from the actual embassy...as in its almost 6pm in London? I know someone said they think London is working through the weekend but I can't find anything.

[JamesRenee 47]

We are told by every government agency throughout this whole process that there is no expediting of visa cases. Example- no one should get a sticky note on their case to move it to the front. The personal level is when you come onto a thread of people who have been waiting over 300 days seperated from their loved ones and essentially brag you've been issued your visa in front of all of them. So it is a little personal- yes. And it is absolutely wrong. This isn't about being frustrated- it's about being angry. And we're all angry right now.

I'm going to respectively disagree with your outburst towards BryterMoon. Understandably emotions are high, but I don't believe he came on here to intentionally "Brag" to the TSC members that have waited far longer than they ever should of had to wait. This thread is in the UK portal and even though it's title states it's for TSC that is somewhat beside the point and here is why... When he joined in on this thread it was after the bad news about the systems being down. He introduced himself and told his story about the baby, etc. You all welcomed him here. You made him feel safe and secure and that he was amongst fellow UK friends in the same boat. Some even said how their heart broke for him. Then for whatever reason his Visa gets issued abnormally quick even under normal times, but what ever that's not my point. My point is... He was giving you all a "Progress Report" that his status changed to "Issued". It was information and confirmation that our embassy was moving forward. You should be happy with the progress to know that yours too will be processed. The fact that it angers some that the embassy is processing out of order should be neither here nor there. No one can control or answer with any certainty how they go about the process. Therefore, even though you may be angry at the system. That's your entitlement how you handle emotions and keep them in check or not. But let's not lose focus that we all want to know what is happening and if progress is being made or not and the only way to get that information is to share information. If people get attacked on these threads then no one will be willing to update with information in fear that someone will come and belittle them.

Remember to be kind to people... Even if you feel like they aren't kind to you.

And I will whole heartedly 100% respectfully disagree with you. Don't come on here and try to judge me or anyone else. You just came on here to get up on your soap box and that's the last thing any of us need to hear today. We expressed an opinion. Last time I checked we have freedom of speech in our country. And plenty of people exercise that freedom all over this forum. So if you want to give a speech on proper behavior- I suggest you go into every single thread today and give your same speech you just gave to all of us. And if you had been more informed before posting that you would've recognized that the reason people are upset is not because of the embassy processing out of order- it's because he had a sticky note put on his file to expedite it. So although you may feel entitled to defend him for some reason- you really have no business coming on here and judging anyone... Ever hear the phrase people in glass houses? Right- so don't throw stones. Edited June 26, 2015 by JamesRenee

I would like this comment removed from this thread by a moderator for violating VisaJourney code of conduct. Referring to "too many bitter people" indirectly and making an unnecessary insult
