Well I guess we can only hope things improve... must be having a down day :(

Try not to worry too much about not making it in time for your plannned legal wedding in Feb. If you do get the approval in Dec and receive Packet 3 in a timely fashion, you can submit your checkist with a request for an expedited interview date, making sure to include evidence of reservations/payments for the wedding. London are typically very accomodating.

While I am still bummed that the NOA2 is taking forever, I am happy cos I am seeing my fiance tomorrow!! :luv: We are having a long weekend together in Canada.

Apparently things have slowed up at the NVC as well though so I don't want to get my hopes up too much... Just have to keep my fingers crossed I guess - at least I have a backup though :)

Great news about the visit - oh for a long weekend in Canada!!!

well, it might happen :yes:

all I can say is: don't borrow trouble... it will work out, one way or the other; one would be better than the other, of course, but either way you end up married to the man you love, and you get to spend your lives together; that's gotta be pretty good whichever way you look at it :)

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 know it is just so frustrating - I have to stop myself from saying "I wish" five hundred times a day!!

I have now slipped to December 8th. Phil wants me to quit looking at it - it doesn't help my mood at all. I just eat more chocolate!

But, he is coming this weekend and is going back on Monday. I'm glad that this goodbye won't be as tearful as he is coming back on the 26th of October for a 10 day stay. Can't wait! :dance: It makes the process go quicker when we plan visits.

Indeed - I know Jeremy will be over for Christmas but we haven't booked anything yet :)

Ok well mine slipped all the way from Sept. 27th to Jan. 1st today! Holy Moly! :help:

But someone in another forumn told me that it could be processed anytime sooner because it's just a projected date.

Are they factoring in Holiday seasons breaks and stuff like this now?

Yep. We think they'll be approved at the same time even though we applied for one before the other. So much for speeding things up.
