Awesome Jasmin!

Us February filers are slowly completing the process, aren't we :)

For detailed timeline, see member timeline data.

My DS-230 was reviewed Wednesday and they REF'd it becuase I screwed up and sent them an "Extract" of the her birth cert. Well, they say that for her country they require and extensive. We should be sending it this coming week and hope to make the Nov 15th cutoff for completion of the case.

It's like I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and NVC turned it off. :devil::devil::devil:

Oh well, I'm not too upset because we didn't make the Oct 15th cutoff anyway and were going to have to wait till next month. So I will do the impossible to make it next month.....

I guess, I need to start looking into RFE coversheet.

BTW - Stabu, It's good to see you're back!!! It wasn't the same with out you. What will we do when you guys get your visa and abandon us? :hehe:

Hi Geist! I see that the interview is coming up soon! Just wanted to wish you luck!

Thanks! Wish Stabu luck too....I'm hoping he doesn't screw it all up now that it's in his hands ;)

I hope to be on here Wednesday telling everyone we have a Visa!! (does that remind anyone else of the couples who say "we're pregnant," when really only one of them is pregnant?)
