I have the same problem here! To be fair I didn't like tap water where I was originally from, either, but it's worse here. Even the shower water has a really odd smell, compared to what I'm used to!

Here meant to ask - did you get your taxes sorted or are you going to wait for your SSN? OMG, I'm so super excited to your life unlocking with a SSN

November brothers 150 days today!!!!!!!

RFIE has been delivered back to USCIS. Probably one of the fastest TAT they've had. It had been delivered to our mail box less than 24 hour before it arrived back with them.

 

And on the topic of tap water, I've never really liked the taste of anything beside that of my hometown's (Independence). Even filtered bottled water always tasted wrong. I've always thought anything in the Southwest US tastes like it was filted through dirt. Since Blue Springs gets their water treated with Kansas Citys, and the Missouri river has been flooded pretty badly, we're using Independence's water for a short time and I'm so happy about it. They placed 3rd for best tasting water in the world about 10 years ago. Matt says US water just makes him feel more thirsty though.

I've still 18 days to go til I get to 150 days LOL!! But loving the positivity. My timeline now shows a mere prediction from next week onwards for the next 2 weeks (which is open-ended). I was initially predicted late April/Early May so dramatic decrease LOL. It'll be interesting to see if it's accurate, of course understanding it's only a guide. I think some expedites have made it decrease quite a bit though

I didn't realise Matt was from Wolverhampton area. I went to teaching college in Worcester and had a great friend from Wolverhampton

LOL! I'm afraid I don't  

 

It was a beautiful town. Must make a trip back there sometime. I meant to ask, and I understand you get a RFIE but was your VJ timeline reflective on the date that you got the update? I think my VJ is far too good to be true and I know it's only a prediction...

We got our taxes sorted out; hopefully they'll get the ITIN done before the SSN, I don't want that to cause issues! 😂 But we have at least filed our taxes, so if there are issues then in theory we still filed in time and can fix it...I hope

Dear Novembeauties:

I'm truly sad. 

Instead of trusting this process to run smoothly, in a professional and timely manner -as it should be-, I'm here, praying they don't mess it up a zillionth time. :(

This is totally not right.

Awwwww!! Try not to be sad. I see you don't have your timeline filled out for EAD/AP - the reason I say that is if you did, it could give you a prediction to give you something to look forward to in the interim. It could be something to look for. My timeline is going crazy at the moment, showing AP anytime from 6th when I last checked. It keeps fluctuating. Although that date is a little ridiculous it is something I guess. You are not on your own. Everyone's here for support, to let a big vent out and to have hope. Hope is the best remedy.

 

I can promise you that they will get round to us and they ain't going to trash/recycle the files. They HAVE to adjudicate at some stage (soon, I hope!) ❤️

Thanks for the support. 💚

I didn't fill that part of the timeline precisely to avoid those predictions and therefore further frustration. 

Seeing others who filed after us getting interviews, does no good to my mood. All seems so random!

I do hope we all get approved soon.

I get that! Timeline predictions is a good way to pass the time and gives you something to look forward to. The VJ average is 150 days-I know that's just based on the data from members and not a full representative. My VJ  timeline was bang on for the K1 but the EAD/AP may be another story. 

 

I've just given up on the GC interviews. My LFO is super slow and wouldn't expect anything until around Feb 2020. But the good thing with the combo card is you can get on with life and do things most 'normal' people do. 

 

We will get there, I promise! ❤️

My predicted dates on my VJ tine line still keep decreasing even after I recorded my RFIE in my timeline. Atm my predicted date has decreased so much that its before my actual RFIE date. The random email we all got the other day from VJ stated EAD April 12th and AP April 16th but those dates are not reflected anywhere on my timeline even after inputting my RFIE data. 

Safe to say that the predicted dates on our timelines have nothing to do with any of the data ON our timelines (even if they are updated with an RFIE) but moreso the data they have collected as a whole.
