I love how everytime I check my time line my date gets pushed back 3 days. Wonderful.

Anyone else feel like ####### after conversations like this:

Person X: "How much longer until your wife gets here"

Me: "Oh i still have a couple more weeks until i know shes approved. and then its about another 3 months until she comes over"

Person X:"hey you've been saying that for a couple months now!"

Me: :(

gah. love it.

Ah, I usually get them on the CSC part. And just when they're like "OMG, that's terrible", I explain that's the short part of our journey. Montreal is truly a beacon of disappointment in an already dismal process.

But I try to stay positive. I have a friend who immigrated here from Russia, and it took her and her husband 7 years to get their green card. Neither of them were USC, but compared to her horror stories, I figure it could be much worse.

The most frustrating part to me is knowing that had I filed just one month earlier, I'd have gotten an NOA2 around day 85 or 90. I must be around 105 right now.

You know, that's what I really thought too. Even the late March filers fared better than us. I wonder what happened?!?!? :wacko::unsure: Is this just bad timing for us April filers??! Aww :( :( I'm on my 108 days already... <_<:angry:

Well, we got some great news today, I checked the USCIS site and it said we were approved and our Notice was sent out yesterday, July 26. Of course we are very very excited, Just wanted to come by, update our time line and post here to reassure others to hang in there. We shared the same date as many of you. So you all should be next.

I must also say, i only called once using the RFE trick, it was a week ago today and the lady said our case was on route to a case worker. It hadn't been assigned yet but she said, it was "on route". We never got a single touch, not even when i made the call, none whatsoever and today it just said it was approved and sent to us. So do not worry if you dn't get any touches.

Good luck everyone!

My fiance just informed me that we got touched today - 07/27/2007!

Totally legit - we haven't called or emailed the service centers, so it means someone is alive down there and looking over our case.

Hopefully, the end is in sight!

Person X:"hey you've been saying that for a couple months now!"

Me: :(

gah. love it.

I hate that. What's the worst part- is that the regular customers at my store know my situation- so EVERY TIME one of them comes in to shop they are like "So any news on the Visa?! :]" And I'm like "No... :crying: " Although, it does make me feel really happy when they start to complain about how ridiculous it is that people just walk in illegally and all of the "poor, innocent, and wonderful people" who want to do it the right way are put through the gauntlet.

Yes... I'm a wonderful person. Thank you :innocent:
