OK... :dance::dance:

I feel a little better, i just want this to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how you feel Byron. This whole process seems to be all about waiting and waiting and waiting some more. I know I received my NOA2, so that wait is over but I started a new wait to get my petition to NVC. I am at 15 days into that wait.

I hope you and Mirla get your NOA2's very soon. I know it is not much comfort but you will get through NVC quickly. Hang in there.

I'm sorry afterforever, I'm shock to find out that your petition didn't make on the same trip as mine. What was that Nov 1 touch all about then?? :angry: They sent out a crate on Nov 1, so why not send the rest of the approved NOA2 at the same time too??? I can't believe this!! :angry: :angry:

Thanks MR2nice. Nothing surprises me about USCIS anymore. I have no idea why I got a touch on Nov. 1st. Did you call NVC today to find out if they received your petition or did you get something in the mail?

I saw a couple of VJ members called today and got the news that the NVC received their cases on 11/2 so I did the same. The lady told me they received it on 11/2. I was positive that your case was there. I'm hoping that maybe they haven't gotten around to entered the rest of the cases into the system since they came by the thousands. Maybe you can try to call back in a couple of days. That's the only other explanation I can think of right now.

Hi everyone......I live about 20 minutes outside of Washington, DC and just got back from my Congressman's office......It actually was interesting.....the liason with the USCIS called the Vermont Center and found out our case is with a case worker since November 1.....they said that because of the length of time they have been taking to process the cases that they are having to do an extra security check on the petitioner(from Noa1 until now) to make sure I have not committed a major crime or something......Also that our age difference......I am older then Oscar makes our case a red flag case for fraud........I know that earlier in the forum someone asked about that and they do consider that......I said the the liason that more older woman are dating younger men now and she said her husband was 10 years younger then her....but he lived down the street from her not in another country were someone has the right to scrutinize the relationship.......So I at least know they have it on someone's desk.....Oh please God say yes.....Lora

Guys,

I am so depressed. Right now I am just crying....this is not right....this is not right! These people are not fair to us at all. How do they want expect me to feel when they are keeping away from what makes me happy. I am so angry...all that I can do is cry. I have been trying for so long to be strong....I just can't do this anymore. I just can't do this....no this is not right.

They must want us to break up with our SO's

Missy1, it will be okay. It is not right but we have to stay strong no matter what. I do know how you feel, we all do. I have no intention of letting them win, we will get our approval soon. Thank God for you all for your strength, guidance and prayer.

We are all going to get through this and be stronger for it. No one, not USCIS, NVC, DHS, the embassy and all other government acronyms can keep us apart.

The waiting is torture but the end will only be that much sweeter when we are ALL reunited with the ones we love :yes:
