ATTENTION : MAY FILERS ... lets keep in touch!

I think they are "ON" to the old RFE trick. Officer Ortega was very skeptical about my RFE worries. Maybe she was close to telling me, "liar, liar, pants on fire!" HA! Wouldn't that have been a hoot!

I am sending all kinds of good, good, good, good vibe-ations your way... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was hoping we'd get some more good news today, maybe we will as it's not 'closing time yet' and I didn't get my official notice until nearly 3:30 PT yesterday, so there is still time in the day for some good news.

Fingers crossed!

Ever Hopeful,

Annette

I did call CSC again today, I was straight up about getting a chance to speak to a real human. I told then I pressed all kinds of buttons until I finally got to hear a live human voice, that it was a long time coming for my approval. However, they did tell me that our file is still in the "Mail Room" and ready to be assigned to a case officer. So I will just keep waiting, keep being positive minded and letting time be my best friend.

This time we have away from our loved ones demonstrates our commitment and determination, it shows our true love and desires to hang on and wait no matter how hard or difficult the situation may become. Never give up, Failure is a trickester, he will trip you up when you are at the closest point of success. Good Luck

I once read a story about a miner, he headed west during the gold rush days to stake his claim.

He finally made it to Colorado, staked his claim and started digging. Sure enough, he struck Gold. He covered the hole

and headed back east. Once he made it home, he borrowed as much money as possible, purchased the finest drilling equipment, hired men and headed back west.

This Miner went back to that same place and started digging, he did find a lot of Gold there, it was coming fast, he was dreaming of being wealthy.

Then one fateful day, he hits dirt. The Gold Vein dried up, they kept digging for a while but finally gave up.

Fortunately for him, he had found enough gold to pay off all his debts. This miner found a local junk man and sold all his

minning equipment for just a few hundred dollars.

Well, this old junk man saw an opportunity, he hired a proffessional surveyor, the surveyor was

an expert at surveying fault lines, he said that there was still gold nearby. The old Junk man started digging again.

Well, as luck would have it, the gold vein picked up only 3 feet away from the old vein, they gave up 3 feet short.

Just 3 feet away and the original miner would have found a very large Gold vein, so large in fact that it would have made him a multi-millionaire. The Junk man did become a multi-millionaire.

It pays to be paitient, sometimes we can find our selves just 3 feet from success and wanting to give up, never give up. Failure is a true trickster, when success is the closest, failure will try to trip us up the hardest. Keep going

forward and don't look back.

Good luck guys, hope this little story helps. Maybe some of you have heard it before, maybe some of you are thinking of giving up, don't do it. It's a true story, I just don't remember the names.

I just called CSC and they said that my case has been assigned to a person eventhough I don't have touches or anything like that. I used the old RFE trick but I was like like hey.. i wanna know what's going on with my case. So anywho they said I should get a notice of action within 60 days. Well I hope that is good news. It makes me feel better to know my case isn't just sitting around. SO YEAH!

That's good news okspider!!!! I used the RFE trick but it didn't work for me....Zeenush also said it didn't work for them either so I think this doesn't work in VSC anymore!

Congratulations for the couples who got a proved and way to go for the one who got touches!!!!!!!!! :dance:

I have't checked my case online yet, haha! I think I'll do it later...

--MIRLA.

I am glad that you got someone nice - my person was not nice and informed me it probably won't be assigned to anyone sono- grrrrrrrrr hoping your lady is right!!!!!

best to everyone-good luck on fridays

She told you it probably won't be assigned to anyone!??!?!?!?!?!?!? What a bee-otch!!!! The first time I called I talked to someone with a bad attitude and told me to called customer service.....I haven't tried again. I just checked my case status and no touches!

Anyways, I have faith on what Zeenusah was told!!!!

I might try to give a call tomorrow!!!!

Come on! The day is not over!!! ALWAYS P-O-S-I-T-I-VE!!!!!!!

--Mirla.

I know we have different service centers but man the person I talked to was a real a-hole! Maybe they constantly have sticks up their butts!

aww kenny you are so right. It really sucks waiting! I swear us people going through immigration have to be some of the toughest in the world because we go through so much stress! I am just praying for everyone who is going through this. We just all need to keep our heads up no matter how far away the end result seems!

Great story...thanks. Just goes to show that patience is a virtue. The stock market is similar...you buy the brightest technologies for the future and patiently hold them through a roller coaster ride until you are richly rewarded...it does require a lot of patience!!! However the visa application is different...if the file is sitting in some high school flunky's office for four months gathering dust it speaks poorly about the system in general. We don't give up...but think about Plan B...which is to move to a different country where both of us can live happily ever after....I must admit we are getting close to Plan B.... no touches since the application was received by NSC on May 7th!!!

Good luck to all...and congrats to the May filers who made it...

I was just wondering if anyone from Canada has gotten a NOA2 yet because of the May filers so far which by the way Congrats are from other countries haven't noticed any from Canada that I can see, either that I'm missing them somewhere,,gosh I hope there are some just to give us a little hope!!!!

I AM APPROVED AUG 23 2007

Congrats!!

Lots of congrats to you!!!! Hey, on your timeline it lists dates in April and May for your NOA 1 issue----which one is the right NOA1 date? If the May 23 is right, then CSC is truckin'!!!!

I'm not sure anymore. The last time I called USCIS, I was informed that my NOA-1 date was 04/27. However, on their website it says CSC received my file on 05/23. All that matters to me now is NOA-2 or burst.

To all May filers who have received their NOA2's in the last couple of weeks. How close was your actual approval date to the adjudication date posted by VJ?

Again, congratulations to all the May filers getting NOA2's.

Kenny,

You are really brave to call CSC so many times. I really admire you.

My CSC NOA1 receive date was only one day after yours, so I hope you will get your soon.

Good Luck!
