Wow. I was busy looking the other way for once and when I looked back there it was. At some point today our status changed to approved on the site, and I received an email from CRIS. Our NOA2 was issued on 8/3. I think I'm in shock b/c I don't know what to say. I'll be sending good approval vibes to all our fellow April filers, and everyone else who has to go through this in the future! What a ride - and that's only to get to the 2nd step!

I'll write again after it finally soaks in that it really happened.

Mel and Daniel, hope and pray that the touch wasn't generated from your call...just good news around the corner!

For those who have tried calling using the RFE trick, is it only through calling specific times that we can speak to a live person at CSC?

Were approved...yay!!!! God is really Good....

CONGRATS :dance:

NOA2!!! I just recieved an e-mail from CRIS that our case was approved on 08/03!!! It is interesting that I called on 08/03 morning using RFE trick and was told that our case was not assigned to an officer yet; and today found out it was approved on 08/03!!! Hope everyone else will be approved really soon!

Congrats.. you had a NOA 1 of April 24 and you filed April as well..

Congrats to all the new approvals!!! :dance::dance::dance:

CSC is finally getting everyone approved and that makes me feel a lot of relief.

It is a little bit ridiculous though- that people who filed a week before me (and many others who still have yet to be approved) got approved a month or MORE before me. -_- I really hope that the new system they implement takes care of ridiculous delays like this so that future filers won't have to deal with the additional heartache that the delays cause.

Dear fellow VJs,

I'd like to start by congratulating those who have gotten touches and getting approvals. Those who got touched, I'm pretty positive that you should expect an approval this week. For some reason, I've slowly lost my excitement about getting my approval this week.

Everyday, the hurt piles up. I can't forgive myself for putting the person that I love the most in this situation when I can just easily go home and stay in the Philippines with her. I mean, I'm the one who left her anyway in the first place because I am a citizen of this SO CALLED GREAT NATION. I mean it is, but again nothing is perfect in this world. There were plenty of times that she has cried over the phone because of loneliness and longingness for each other and I am completely running out of words to say to her. She would always get the reply, IT WILL COME SOON..though I know I'm just lying to her and to myself. The waiting is so unbearable especially when there is nothing you can do and so helpless. I don't want her to suffer and be in a position where she is so unhappy due to the situation. I want the person I love to be happy because that is what she deserves. But I feel like I am weak and can't do anything for her. Text messages, calls, emails.. she deserves more than these. I know that she knows how much I love her.. God knows I do.. Lord, you know our hearts desire. I leave this to You for this is not in my control, for with You NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. I will just be waiting, but to trust You with everything in my life. I know You have a reason why it is taking this long, but I know You are reserving a beautiful plan more than what I am expecting.

Sincerely,

Kits and Faith
