OMG OMG OMG... I just hit 'reload' on the 'Check status online' ... and

HELL HATH FROZEN OVER.....

WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I would have gotten this young man's name. Call Thursdays at 9:30 AM, Mirla and Soch. Maybe Soch somehow jolted this process by calling a few days ago?

Please.. I am praying for Mirla. Mirla, screw your lawyer.. just call up and act innocent, and say "it has been over 5 months, there must be an RFE or a problem..... can you please look into it for me?" *with a sweet voice* and MAKE THEM LOOK AT IT!!!!!

If you get a dud officer, just call back everyday.

May the flood-gates open and shower you all with NOA2s

....

I just called and went clicked through to the RFE through the menu this morning and got transferred to a VSC officer. Of course, I played the "Well.. it's been 5 months now, I can't help but think you must have sent out an RFE and I just never got it..."

He went away for 5 LONG minutes.

He came back and said "Actually, we will be sending out something soon... an approval notice. You should get it in a few days."

To be quite honest, I don't want to get my hopes up... but I hope to gawd he's not pulling my leg. I told him "Thank you so much and have a great morning!" Maybe I should have said "a PRODUCTIVE morning" for pumping out those NOA2's.

If this sincere voice was bullshitting me, I will have lost all hope in the system.

Gail!!!! So he put you on hold and tell you they will be sending an approval notice???? So that means you're approved????? My God!!!

About your last lline....They can be really aholes you know but I don't think they are that bad to make up something like that......soooooo gooodddd luckkkkk!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Mirla, you have to be next!!!!

Thanks Zee!!! Come on VSC!!!!!!

[Jason-Sasha 1]

I know this wait is hard on everyone..lets keep positive. VCS is working....remember....we have far fewer petitions filed (on VJ) than CSC...so if we only have 25% of their approvals, we are on track. Its not how MANY CSC approves...its the percentage in relation to over all petitions filed we need to watch.

CSC in the last 6 months took in 481 K1 Petitions. While VCS took in only 130. We have only hold 27% of the total visas filed in the 2 centers....soooo

in the month of October they've had 49 approvals. VCS has had 7. So the percentage of our approvals compared to theirs is almost 15%. A bit behind but not by much....only 7 or so petition difference. Bearing in mind..MOST of those CSC'ers approved sent their petitions IN May and waited longer for noa1...so even if noa1 is JUNE..they waited since MAY for this just like some of us here...hang in there...it will turn around soon.

VSC is working? Barely. And at a pace that will result in all of us waiting a very long time for our approvals. You have been telling everyone that it will turn around soon for months. I guess eventually you will be right but it has not happened yet.

VSC has 27 VJ K1 petitions sent in May that still need to be processed. Since the first of October they have approved .35 VJ K1 petitions per day. Do the math.

I will feel positive when I see some positive results. As of now all I see is VSC dribbling out approvals at a pace that will put them farther and farther behind.

Yeap you are right..its a hopeless issue....I try to hard to stay positive...Dont u think I cry to at night over this stupid process?? But do you think thats what other WANT to hear??? Be my guest..YOU can be the bearer of negativity...as for me..I've had enough of it here. I can't continue with the constant down plays and hopelessness....come on....where is your compassion for those that need a boost? Huh? Its hard enough waiting...When was your noa1??

Im done...im not sure I"ll be back for a bit...I can't handle this anymore...I h urt to...but I can't handle the extra load of "reality" everyone shoves out. Sorry...Thats me venting...and yes...I took offense to your comments that I've been saying this for months...but it never hurts to TRY to stay positive and HOPE for the best Bill....

DON'T LEAVE!!

I totally agree with you and get extremely frustrated with the choice to be negative on this board. There are some things in life we can't do anything about and this is one of them so we should be supporting each other to get through it instead of sending each other to the pharmacist for more Xanax. Byron had made a topic for venting, labeled venting, I was hoping that would catch on so some of the pessism would leave the board, but no such luck. So we're sitting ducks. I certainly want to try to stay positive. Everyone here needs to vent sometimes, the problem is when 99 out of 100 of your posts are venting, then it brings everyone else down. Let's try to get through this together.

amrssnowangel,

hang in there,

everyone's frustrated and just venting. Ppl aren't intentionally trying to bring anyone down or hurt their feelings. Your positivity does help!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I don't think Bill was 'venting' as such, I think he was trying to be realistic, and it's something I value about him... but I also value amrssnowangel's positivity, and I think the two can co-exist very well together

I think I got really lucky and might have got an officer who cares.

I really want Mirla and Soch to get out of this left-behind mess soon. Let me know if you need any help.

Empr,

Congratulations! About time!!!

WE do all need to "vent" but venting and simply being negative no matter WHAT is said...just bites. It brings me down more than it should. This IS where we are SUPPOSED to get support...but I guess the "realists" can't see where its ok to HOPE for the best and yet PREPARE for the worst. My adjudication date falls further and further away...Im not trying to say that im special...but I NEED my SO here. Im starting congestive heart failure..and LAST thing i need is to come here and be handed a plateful of negativity. Im sorry Bill....but I've tried soo hard to stay positive here...Its not easy...Does your mom have Alzheimers?? Is she blind? Is she such a severe diabtetic that if u feed her 2 carbs to much she flies off the meter??? Do you work 7 nights a week just to be home all day to go to doctors, shop, pay bills, cook, clean and struggle with medications? My mom is on over 20 medications, my father 15, My father has dementia...my other half..the one whose to be sharing this is 8,000 miles away...So Bill, tell me...why CANT i stay [positive...out of those here...you'd think I'd have the RIGHT to be negative...tired, and wanting my noa2 just as much as anyone else...but u know...im not going to come here...deal with negative words each time I try to say sth positive. Soooo, im moving over...I can't do this. I have to many other things trying to bring me down. I have my own mountains to move. Im sorry if im ranting..but today...was all I could take..I come here to feed off the positive vibes.. I've tried to encourage others, I've tried to not just complain but take a stand for what we ALL want and need, encouraged others to fight for what is right and take action to be heard. I dont have time for negativity in my life...im tired. Sorry everyone for the rant..im just not sure I can continue with this. Every day I come and not only find my adjudication date moving away..im facing another day here ALONE to do what I do. My brother is of no help..my kids live to far away, I have no time to socialize to create a network..so i do this ALONE.. Do I need my SO here"? YES. Good luck. I pray God gives you each the strength, courage and patience to make it through. I for one..will continue to be inspired by my daughter, by my mother who raised me without the center part of her brain..and by my SO...who gives me encouragement every day to go on. I just need a break.

Sorry if I offended anyone or you Bill. I just sometimes dont understand why you can't just be positive. We are all realistic here..we KNOW the wait times we are looking at. Just TRY for once to see the glass as half full and NOT half empty.

Let's try to get through this together.

Maybe someone should start a thread for group hugs and pom poms. Maybe it would do better than a separate thread for venting. I appreciate the realism from those presenting it in our thread...the May folks represent the most senior members in the thread and have suffered the longest. If the baby is ugly, it's an ugly baby no matter how you look at it. VSC is an ugly baby. Approving 1 person in how long isn't such great service to us...there is no rationalization that helps our situation. They (USCIS as an entity) is failing us--dishing out terrible service to US citizens is a disgrace to the US. On top of that, this process is for many of our loved ones, their first impression of our country. What an awful representation...disgusting actually.
