No we were not approved yet. We are June 26. Would have been great if we were but we not as yet. I was just telling Josiah congratulations on their approval.

I obviously need my glasses, . Consider that my pre-congratulations then,  lol.

I am  hoping to be in the U.S. in February.. Since we will miss Christmas (it's very important holiday for me), we are planning to do late Christmas. The good thing is if this is gonna be really February there might be a snow day in DC  so it might be even better than in December  so... if you will ever see an article in Washington Post saying about two idiots who are wearing Santa hats in Feb - you can be sure it is us

Hate to say it but I was thinking the same thing!! Looking at the numbers though I realize I could be a brutal 200 day plus May or April filer.  Our times is coming soon. I am thankful to have such a wonderful community to go through this process with. @John & Rose---here is to your countdown NOA2 next week or not --you are 7 days from being with your love. I am excited for you. I hope that when you are there with Rose  any anxiety or stress about this process is melted away and forgotten about. You are guranteed to have a great week next week no matter what.

Rose is a great calming influence in my life. I am very calm and comfortable now. I know this will happen soon. It isn’t months anymore. It is days and maybe weeks. Next week I will be in Manila with my new family and somehow I doubt if I will be overly concerned about approvals.

My other half got stuck in the great snowfall of Baltimore a couple of years ago. He was on call for a roofing company servicing they're trucks, lorries, and cranes. It. Was. Awful. Stuck out there for 2 days, the snow was that bad. They're normally pretty good with the plows. 

My first time landing at BWI, there was a lot of snow, but the runway was clear, roads were gritted... Much better than the UK. We get a dusting and EVERYTHING grinds to a halt. Trains, buses, drivers turn into brain-dead zombies... 😳

 

BUT, SNOWWWWWW. Proper snow. 😁😁😁

Worst part is, I thought I'd be out of the UK and in Atlanta by xmas..... and avoid that disappointing dusting - at least out there I wont be expecting or hoping for snow haha

Oh ok, he lives near Baltimore? I went to college there...they’ve really improved the inner harbor since then...and I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily “proper snow” compared to what we get in NY haha 😄

Hey everyone!

 

I am here with the weeklies of this week!

 

A really Important thing that everyone should know.

The numbers are not low, they are just spread to 3 different months at once.

 

I am going to do a overall analysis tomorrow (I don't know why but I was too sleepy this whole day)

And show you how actually the numbers are still wayyyyyy better than what we thinks is happening..

 

Add around a 10 to these numbers 

(when an rfe changes its status I only count the latest status... and yes yes I just realized I was doing it all the time...

So if I look too much in the past and an rfe for example became approved it looks like they touched less than they actually did.)

Don't get too excited it can still snow in Atlanta. I used to live down there when I was younger and I have seen it snow  5 -6 inches one year. Oh, that was fun.

He lives in Middle River. 

I went to the Inner Harbor, to walk off the Captain Crunch french toast from blue Moon II, in March. Was really nice. Went drinking in Canton with the guys from 98Rock. 

I love it so much there. 

Old Bay is the nuts!!!!

At least there it will be a nice surprise, and not an expectation or hope that leads to disappointment....

England gets the rain, and USED to get the snow, but now... nothing! Just rain.

I guess you weren't on the Yorkshire's coast on Thursday where 5 inches fell  during the day, roads closed and of course everyone panicking

I agree it would be a nice surprise. Seems like we don't get the snow we used to either. I Live in St Louis, Mo area now and even this far north we rarely see a good snow fall during the winter anymore. Heck 3 days ago it was 75 F degrees  outside. Felt like summer.
