APRIL Filers!!

[kits_24_faith 0]

Checked this morning, and I'm touched again. I'm hoping approval comes soon. Kits, I know it's tough and it's heartbreaking and the time apart is heart-wrenching and it feels like u can't do anything at all to make the other person feel better. I am guessing we have all been there at at least 1 point during this process and may be there again before it's over. Take faith in that u are taking the steps to say to your partner I am willing to go through this horribly, long, extended, stressful process for u and only u. I love u more than words can say, and I'm willing to go to whatever lengths to spend the rest of my life with you, because u are my soulmate, without whom my life would be incomplete, and I won't be whole until we are married and living together forever. It does look like there is a lot of action at the CSC these last couple of weeks, so take heart and keep courage. It's a long process, and ur screen name is appropriate, cause we all gotta have faith in God and his plans for us. He will lead us through the tunnel and through to the other side. Good luck to all who are still waiting!!! (I include myself until I hear of an approval for sure )

Thanks a lot.. Faith is her name.. so she is MY FAITH.. she keeps me strong.. I know I couldn't not do this without her.. and I know without God I cannot do anything.. so thanks and let's continue to pray for each other and those who are still waiting for their approval.. God bless

Kits, I really know what you are going through. My fiance and I have been going through it OVER and OVER for the past 2 years. Seeing eachother for 2-3 months, then being seperated for 4 or more months until the next time we saw eachother. The waiting is excrutiating- and I can admit that when we're seperated like this, we're stressed and easily bicker even about the most ridiculous things because we are way to emotional from the seperation. Your NOA1 is after mine- and I just got my approval last week. Just hold in there. I know everyday seems like an eternity apart- but I can honestly say (that for me at least) having the approval will relieve a lot of the worry and stress. Please hold on (for yourself, your fiance, and for all of us here hoping for the best for you at VJ), because the odds are in your favor to hear about your case this week.

I spend a lot of time crying about how much the seperation hurts- but I also feel relief knowing that once this is over with- then we can (all!) be together with the person we love for the rest of our lives. And, I also like to think that perhaps the worst will be behind us after having to go through such an ordeal before even getting married. Don't blame yourself so much- I know that my fiance has no idea what to do when I'm upset- and I'm sure he feels just as bad as you (and he's not the USC!). You blame yourself because you love your SO and you don't want her to hurt- and that makes you a good person- the problem is not you- its the appauling way that our government deals with (legal) immigration.

You two will be together sooner than you think. And until then- you should both know that everyone here is praying for your approval!

Thank you so much for the encouragement.. it really helps a lot especially from someone who is going through the same.. It is still Tuesday so I'll keep positive this week..if not.. I guess I'll have to face another week hehehe.. it is hard.. but this is life..

Hey Gang,

I'm back in the US after spending 28 days with Lena in Ukraine. Had a great time, and it was my 3rd visit in less than a year. I'm (we're) praying that as today makes day 120 since mailing that ours will come soon as well. This is emotionally taxing on both of us, and we had a tough goodbye, especially since this is the first goodbye we have had without really knowing when we will see each other again.

Once I arrived home last night I found two (2) pieces of mail from Homeland Security. I was overjoyed, and then upon opening them, I found two copies of the I-797 receipt notice for the NOA1 which, they never bothered to send out in April. I was happy at least to know what the damn envelope looks like, and what an I-797 looks like as well. These I would imagine are the result of my call last Monday the 30th, when I was told then that our petition had been called up for adjudication. I showed a touch the next day on the 31st.

I crawled out of bed this morning, and checked email, nothing from CRIS but when I checked online, we did have a touch dated 08/06/07. I checked it again later in the day and we had another one dated todays date. So, maybe...just maybe....it will come this week.

Congrats on all of the approvals that have been filtering in already this week. I hope the rest of you waiting see approvals soon as well.

I just called using the RFE Trick, and talked to a man there, that said there was nothing going on with my case right now... so i asked if it had even be assigned yet, and he looked for a minute, and said, "no mam, it hasn't been assigned yet"... i almost cried right then...

Watch your online account. If you have a touch tomorrow he most likely was actually checking on it. Your day is approaching, things seem to be moving faster now...keep the faith.

I know the feeling, but don't get too down, you're still about in the median timeline for approval for april filing from the timeline searches I've done.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw your post earlier on today but I started doubting when I noticed it was getting late. I really wasn't expecting anything when I got the call... Even when I realized whom it was, it still didn't ring a bell. Then the surprise came. I would have started celebrating but I've already drank my two beer quota (lol) and I am really tired.

Good luck to everyone... The approvals are definitely coming...
