Holidays apart are the worst. But finally I will have a New Year's Eve with Sasha. This would have been the 3rd one apart. Still wont have Christmas together though. But at least we'll have Russian Christmas together. This will be the last holiday season we all have to suffer away from our fiance(e)s. Knock on wood!!

Jason,

Where you going to be in Russia? I am going to be over there about the same time, Leave here Dec 27th and come back on Jan 8. I will be in Sochi.

I think a lot of us were counting on the old USCIS timelines to have our SO's here by the holidays.

I am happy though knowing I will be with my fiancee again in January. The best part of all, is that

she will be coming back with me. As hard as it is right now, at least I am starting to see a pin hole of

light at the end of the tunnel.

Your right Byron, we all know this process could have gone faster. We have seen the people who have gotten

approvals in 30 days (must be nice), so we know it is possible. Hang in their everybody because someday this

will be just a bad memory.

But at least we'll have Russian Christmas together. This will be the last holiday season we all have to suffer away from our fiance(e)s. Knock on wood!!

I will spend this Christmas alone. No SO, No kids, No parents here. Just me. But thats ok. I know my SO will meet me online for the day and make it special somehow. He always does.

Byron, Im feeling you. I"d say hang in there, but thats har to do when you are at the point of your heart melting. I certainly understand, for all of us, how hard this time of year is. Im just thankful to have found the love of my life. Im thankful that even though we are apart at this time, we know we have the opportunity to close this distance. Im thankful for all of you here...the support, the HERSHEY KISSES!!! Im thankful that Vermont is responding a bit and we see some movement.

I know its hard to find things to be thankful for when we so want our loved ones here..but dig deep...what are YOU thankful for?

:protest: OK, IT'S TIME TO SEND THE CHOCOLATE KISSES!!!!

I PLAN TO ISSUE THE PRESS RELEASE FOR MONDAY. I THINK IF WE START ORDERING FROM

WWW.HERSHEYGIFTS.COM TOMORROW, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THEY SHOULD START TO BE BOMBARDED WHEN THE PRESS RELEASE COMES OUT.

DON'T FORGET TO ADD A MESSAGE WITH YOUR ORDER(S) AT CHECKOUT. LIKE 'HURRY IT UP ALREADY' OR ONE OF THE EARLIER SUGGESTIONS FROM AMRSSNOWANGEL, ETC.

SHIP THEM TO:

P NOVAK, ADJUDICATORS, AND STAFF

USCIS VERMONT SERVICE CENTER

75 LOWER WELDEN ST

ST ALBANS, VT 05479-0001

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

LET'S DO IT :dance::dance::dance:

I'll order mine today....

How about a note like:

KEEP THOSE K APPROVALS COMING!!

I'll send my share for the press release as well..

Thank you for your hard work on this...

Guys, dont think that just because they are moving that it means it will STAY moving, this habit repeats itself with USCIS where they get more work and have delays...we must keep the pressure on

Have you sent your kisses today?

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

I see many complain that others are approved out of order, some have to wait ungodly times for noa2. So what have you done to help? This is my plea...get off your seat, go to www.hersheygifts.com and make that contribution. For as little as $20.00 you CAN make a difference.

I SENT MY KISSES.... HAVE YOU????????????? We have no right to complain if we aren't willing to stand up and take action. We can't be heard, unless we use our voices loudly. We cant enjoy the rewards if we aren't willing to commit to the hard work....

SEND THOSE CHOCOLATES TODAY!!! Make a difference. Dont think that your small contribution of a box of kisses won't matter, they do. If everyone gives something, no matter how small, it adds up. It makes us noticed. Don't let US Wendy's, Virgillionaire's, and many others hard work go to waste. Your contribution does matter, it CAN make a difference.

WWW.herseysgifts.com

For as little as $20.00 you can make a difference. Will you be one the simply sits and complains?? Or someone who takes action, who likes to make change happen???
