Hi Everyone,

 

I've been following this thread since early December and  have finally decided to comment.  I have a 11/21 NOA1 date and I'm just here patiently waiting like you all, but I must say that this thread has been a great resource for me and also extremely encouraging.

 

I live in a state away from most of my family and my other half is thousands of miles away, so reading the daily post have been my "support".  

 

You guys are an amazing group and I wish you all success and greatness in your upcoming nuptials.

 

xoxo

Welcome out of the Immigration Hell Closet. LOL..

Thanks for speaking up.

 

Join the November Thread Party this is where all the action or lack thereof is at.

Yeah, hard to know what happened.  Thanks for looking into it, Geo.  I was hoping some Nov 28 cases had been touched.  Wishful thinking. ;)

Me too. I thought the same thing when I saw the scan pass them. Luckily, I have all past data compiled into the MS access database, and have a query in there to give me the history of each WAC (as you can see). So I can see old statuses as well as their current status.

Who knows if all is done correctly can not RFE, think people don't fill things right and missing lot of info that needed to be submitted 

What I meant was that if the adjudicators are low on numbers for the week, they might pick through the files to find easy RFEs to get their numbers up for their audits.

Soon its Valentines day! So Congrats to all who have gotten their approval already & for those who are still waiting, enjoy the journey with your fiance :) You will have your time and its very soon! As for me it has been just 3 days & I'm still in cloud 9 celebrating each day like a boss. haha (while fiance is complaining she has to work work work work - nonstop like Rihanna does :jest: but of course she's very happy with the approval)

 

Our journey doesn't end with our NOA2, im happy to be part of this group and hopefully we'll stick together all through out this process!

 

@JimJesDuma Safe travels! Bring me back some Pinoy chicharon on the way back! :jest:

@geowrian thanks for the daily updates, you have no idea how it eases our daily struggle of waiting. cheers! :jest:

 

Stay strong everyone and happy weekend!

This gives me great comfort as I'm in similar situations as those above. Case numbers above mine are for receive dates several days after mine. Glad to know CSC going by receive dats and not WAC numbers. Thanks for your research.

ahaha! That woudl be awesome! But my biggest hurdle is my work commitments...being on government projects with strict deadlines pretty means means I am only available to take week+ vacations at a couple intervals per year.

 

Thank you~

Well happy Friday to the thread! :dancing:

Congrats to all the approvals this week.

Things really are moving.

 

For 10/31 there were 364 cases and as of tonight there are now 38 left unworked.

Today is DAY 100 from NOA 1 for us. 

I have a feeling I will be one of the final 3 cases to get approved.:protest:

 

Tomorrow I will be off the the Philippines to visit Jes again.:wub:

I never in  a million years thought by the time I took this trip our case would not be approved as that was over 3 long months ago.

I filed a few days before Halloween seems like an eternity.

 

Anyway so glad to see all the filers come out of the woodwork and contribute to the thread.

 

This will be my last post until the end of the month.

 

Vogaan, Art 786, Valex,(L) Mzladyq, Jing, Reboot 1, fishe23a and others and especially Geo don't let this place fall to s.h.i.t. when I'm gone :rofl:

 

I'm sure many of you will be well past NVC and have interviews scheduled by the time I return.

 

Take care till then :cry:

 

:dance: Enjoy the winter I'm off for some fun in the sun :dance:

 

Here is one of our many destinations.

Safe travels, Jim! Have a great time with your loved one. 

 

Your NOA2 date will be February 14. USCIS knows how special you are and is preparing the best Valentine's surprise for you ?
