Mary and I are together in Costa Rica for a nice long weekend. I will post some updated statistics on CSC filers when I get back next week. Congrats to Jan filers with NOA2 already and Godspeed to the rest.

It seems like such like such a long wait, but we will get through this! :whistle:

Happy Easter!

Thanks, Milenka !!

One good thing about CSC taking so long (cup half full perspective) is that it enables he and I to save more money.

BUT the wait will drive me nuts, and then I'll go crazy. (cup half empty) ... e.g., having conversations with doorknobs. :wacko:

So, I've planned a trip to Istanbul in July. (cup half full, again)

Then I saw what it'll cost given the price of oil (cup half empty) ... which means my bank account will be half empty! :blink:

So, if anyone at CSC or the embassy suggests that I don't have much money saved in the bank, e.g., to sponsor my fiance, I'm going to bite their nose off!! Then lecture them on the time it took to receive CSC's NOA1, and the time we had to wait to receive CSC's NOA2, then the turtle-like pace at VSC ... followed by the months waiting for the one-petition-per-day consulate in Turkey. Surely, they'll dispute the assertion, but I'll not be dissuaded.

Then I will rant about having to fly to Istanbul to see my fiance with my own eyes. I'll explain that after this long, I was beginning to think he was a figment of my imagination (given I've started talking with door knobs). :wacko::wacko: They'll ask my fiance if he's SURE he wants to marry me (????)

Signed,

M and M

P.S. Thank God he loves me, and has a good sense of humor(!).

LOL....keep the good humor!

I agree! How I WISH I were vermont, but I'm not and a little piece of my dies when I see a fellow february filer getting packet 3 or 4 (hehe very little piece, but hey, I want to be dramatic! ;) ) SO, anyone else obsessively checking Jan filers to see if anyone over there has an approval yet???

Hi

YES... OBSESSIVE CHECKING GOING ON!!! Hahaha... sorry, but I am getting a little manic and check every day for something...ANYTHING to have changed. CSC- STOP SURFIN' AND LOOKING "KEWL" ...... process our files dagnammit!!

Good luck and I hope no more little pieces of you die..... that would be very sad :crying:

Keep us posted.... JD x (F)

I'm not obsessively checking if any January filer has gotten NOA2's but I did notice something that may offer a little ray of hope. Per FWA-guy's page, in Nov there were 83 petitions, in December 77, while in January only 65 filed at CSC(this includes the forwarded ones from NSC and CSC). That means that when the January NOA2's start rolling there will be less of them that CSC has to issue, so we February filers may get our turn quicker than expected?!? Less petitions to process, the quicker they can finish all of them for that month.

Dunno if that helps any of the obsessives out there, but its a little food for thought.

-P

Where did that data come from? Very interesting!

Hey, Congratulations to you both ! :thumbs: This is not only great news for you, but also for us. It seems CSC is moving right along.

Best wishes to you Carl! (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Where did that data come from? Very interesting!

fwaguy normally does a sheet every week showing who filed when and whose gotten NOA2.

And yes, there may be less VJ filers for January, but lets not forget that this site is only a small sample of everyone actually going through CSC.

My earlier statement about the # of Jan filers was made on 3/20/07, since then more January filers have signed up to VJ, or updated their timeline. According to the latest fwaguy's page update there are 72 January filers.....still less than the 84 in December....the total February filers is up to 86 already. Is January traditionally a slower month for # of petitions filed, perhaps?
