Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

Oh, and I just have to ask: Where the heck did everyone go?!?! I just saw a tumbleweed blow by...

Oh we are here - just way too p1ssed off to write - we slipped back to April 1st estimate today - ironic date or what!!! So when we applied it said February 28th - now it's a full 33 days later and that summer move to the USA looks more distant every day!!!

Mox, that CSC Top Ten just killed me ...

I know what you mean. I slipped to March 13 from my date of February 10 when I first filed. My SO has been operating under the assumption that our interview will be in the Spring. I mean, we all know that it's not good to make plans around this process, but I wouldn't have thought a 4 month window would be too much of a stretch. But I see that Moscow are starting to schedule interviews for March, so...yeah...unless something happens soon it doesn't look like a Spring reunion for us.

Thanks! It was one of those days where you either laugh or cry, and I need to keep up that manly image I've worked so hard to build.

If this happened here in the UK it would be headline news and documentary producers all over it for sheer government incompetence. It's hard to comprehend how any government agency anywhere in the world - let alone the most powerful country on earth - can double the fee for a process and subsequently have that process take twice as long as normal. It boggles the mind!!!

And incidentally, if any of you are thinking over popping over to see your SO from the EU then do so while you still can. Have a look at this ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7190788.stm.

Yours has got to be right around the corner. The one good thing I can say about CSC right now is that unlike VSC the (very few) approvals that are coming through seem to be in order. So you're close. VERY close!

As many others have said, it's the uncertainty and lack of helpful communication that makes this process so difficult.

A bit more information from USCIS would certainly help relieve the tension for everyone who has gone past the six month mark.

I hope so. Thanks for the kind words. It helps - a lot

I'm not a CSC filer but I have noticed that there is less activity these days. . . I miss the flurry, when one could refresh the page and I have six different threads to read. . .

Well folks, it's my 40th birthday today. I'd hoped (not too hard, though) for a nice birthday present, but I guess it didn't come.

I do have a bit of dark humor, though. As I was standing in the express line at the grocery store, I noticed a guy who chose the regular line next to me, which just a few minutes prior had a large order being checked out. That man was on his way out the door, and I still had one person in front of me. You can guess my thoughts. "That is the Vermont line, and this is the California line, I guess." I kept my thoughts to myself, however, as I'm sure that analogy would be lost on anyone in that store. Thought y'all might find that humorous, though.

In other bad news today, I was in negotiations for a house today, a house that my love has only seen pictures of, but I still consult her for advice on these matters. Negotiations on price bogged down however, and I walked away from the table. I hope I made the right decision.

Plus, I froze my butt off today at work. It's snowing. OK, I'm really pushing the relevance to this thread now. I hope y'all had a nice day. I'll stop now. Life is good.

Happy Birthday !

:lol: I think this might have to be posted somewhere on my website along with the CSC prayer... Will e-mail to self and sort something out

Use and abuse with my blessing.

I know how that feels - when something just isn't going as you thought and then *everything* seems to be going against you... Keep the faith - you *will* get there - whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Agreed. And as the poster implied, keep your sense of humor. If you give in to the bitterness, it will consume you.

The grocery store story was funny, and I have to admit I've had similar analogies enter my mind. Stuck in traffic and seeing that other lane that's going faster...so I jump in that lane and it immediately comes to a stop while the previous lane starts moving again.

The top ten was great, Mox! Thanks... and were there any animals hurt in the process of making your post?

No, but there was one slightly embarrased Ninja when he very unstealthily tripped over a mop bucket just as he was getting into deadly striking position. Fortunately the CSC staff were too engrossed in "Buffy" to notice.

Haha - I find I am sat at work refreshing in the morning then when I get real busy in the afternoon everyone appears... starting to think I smell or something...

@Mox - will chase Jeremy up to make a nice page for me to put the top 10 on then I'll pretty it up or something... actually I don't even need to do that... I'll upload it as an image file then link directly to that - result! You can link to it then from your siggie or something if you want - I am running out of space in mine - have too many links and dunno which ones to cut!!

@Eli - remember that your projected date will jump a TON if someone who has been waiting ages has been approved - if they just approved someone who has been waiting since May then the average number of days is going to skew completely It's not an exact science - weedebz got approved 3 weeks before her projected date... mine was pretty spot on though

In some good news - I got approved for an Amez card today - not sure when my credit limit is yet on it as I only got the pin number but figured they wouldn't send me that without a card to follow so...

I am still laughing at the top ten... " but only slightly less known is this" CSC, " Iocane, I'd bet my life on it"

What about the ROUS's?

I don't think they exist...
