You have a point though, TBone, I have heard horrible things about TSA at other airports, but I promise you, if you come to PDX (Portland)- DE checkpoint between 4-9am (my shift) you'll find we're a bunch fun loving, kind and respectful officers :) PDX got best US airport the last 2 years running, but we've had several passengers tell us how awful they are at other airports. Just don't lump me or my crew in with them :)

I had a funny experience at the PDX airport with TSA a few years back... I'm sure you are really nice though. :)

Ah -- note my distinction that the CSC employees would be the TSA washouts -- distinctly different from the TSA-ers still on duty, especially at PDX. :)

Aly, "TSA" stands for Transportation Security Administration (our screeners at airports).

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

So... customs?

I thought that once someone enlightened me it would all become clear and I would kick myself... but I never heard of them :lol: Owel ;)

And I thought training to be a teacher taught you all acronyms :angry:

Moxie has also disappeared... I was hoping to corner him for some random post-wine chat for 45 mins or so... ah well - I think he mentioned something about speaking to Nadya tonight... or was that yesterday...?!!?

Well, I've been a teacher most of my adult life and now work 3 jobs including for TSA as a security screener (we check you, x-ray and check your bags if necessary) before you go to the gate for your flight. The gov't has more acronyms than any organization I know. I thought when my ex got out of the military, I would be finished dealing with a life full of acronyms...then I got the job with TSA this past June...here I go again :wacko:

Busy day for me at work here, been in and out of my office. What is the world coming to when they expect me to actually do real work? :blink:

oooo, Babbles; all excited about your touch :D

and T-Bone, I agree with the others, who seemed to be cautiously hopeful on your behalf :)

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.

Gracias, StP. I believe that I interpreted her "bye" correctly. I may not hear anything until Friday or thereafter, when the DHL is to arrive. My IMBRA guy who introduced us, and who is deaf as a post, and who does not comprehend differences in time zones, has been trying to call me, leaving messages but no callback number; it should be interesting trying to scream the details at him. Off-signing now until late tonight, si man.

You can call them and ask them. Tell them your CSC receipt number and ask them if they received it and when. If they received it they can tell you your new case number.

NVC has customer support answering phones till midnight eastern time. When you call and, after going through prompts, it switches you over to hold, you will experiense and pause of total silence, don't worry you are still connected, just wait.

If it's too busy it might kick you back out and tell you to call back later, just keep trying. The two options you can try choosing from the menu are 2 and 5.

Since our approval date is the same, I'd venture a guess that your petition is also already at NVC.
