Congrats Deron, I'm glad to hear that you've made it to NVC. It won't be there long, mine got there on the 31st and I found out tonight it was shipped to the consolate on the fifth, and that includes losing a day due to Labor Day. You're on your way now! Personally, it feels great to know it is out of the country and getting closer to her.

Best of luck for all who are still patiently (or in my case, not-so-patiently) waiting.

Seriously, how do these people get away with it? I am sure that if any of US her at VJ acted that way at our job we would be fired in an instant! It's so disgusted that day in and day out all of us VJers are doing things right and getting treated like the scum of the earth for it.

Did she have an hispanic accent? If so, I got the same lady, and she was rude to me too. She called me a liar also ;) As for how they keep their jobs, it's a government job. You can't get fired even if you lie under oath ;)

Yes she did. Sounded like she could hardly speak English too.

As for not being able to get fired- that's ridiculous. I think that government employees should be held more accountable than Johnny Nobody working in retail/fast food.

Sorry to report this so late, but since my fiance was here with me, I kinda forgot :whistle:

My fiance and I had the interview in the Finnish Consulate last Wednesday (Sept. 5th) and got approved the same day :dance::dance::dance: (I know, I will update the timeline :rolleyes: ... )

I'm now officially a K-1 visa holder, and will soon be travelling to marry my sweeteheart and start our life together.

Visajourney has been a great help to us. And I wish all of you, our fellow April-filers best of luck and may your turn come soon :thumbs:

That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Praise Jebus :innocent: I finally made it to NVC. After 116 days waiting for my NOA2, it only took 36 days to make it from CSC to NVC, but on day 152 I feel amazing!!! All sarcasm and joking aside (hope no one takes offence to the Homer Simpson saying) I am absolutely stoked, I actually have my case number that I can use to get an appointment. I am going to call Monday and see if the call center will give me one without the embassy actually having the physical petition. I've been told this is possible so why not give it a shot. Anyway, have a great weekend and to all a speedy journey...

-Deron

Congrats my friend!! Finally man!! :dancing: After NVC, it should be pretty quick from now on... ;) Yay!! :D

Thank you so much for your congratulations everyone (L) It now feels like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders.

rambaldi: Our interview in the Finnish consulate wasn't exactly a model-case. I think it was because they allowed my SO to be present at the interview, which, first of all, took place in the waiting room, second, by a Finnish person and in Finnish!!! (Luckily, or in purpose, the waiting room was empty by then)

The questions she asked me then, were:

1. When and where did we meet (followed by talk of how communications and meeting have changed:online etc.)

2. Asked if the man sitting behind me was my fiance :P

3. Asked about our future hometown

4. Asked why we decided to get married in US instead of Finland (followed by talk about how stupid it was to change the CR-1-process :P

5. My profession, SO's profession

6. Checked out fiance's I-134 and said he seemed to be well-to-do... (I had no idea if that was a question, so I kept quiet :P)

And that's that. No need for photos or e-mail etc. (Altho we had all of those just in case)

That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Hi everyone and congrats to those who are speeding along in the process!!!

We're still waiting for our paper NOA2 - my OH is going to phone California this week to chase it up. The NVC got our bits and bobs on the 23rd August and I haven't recieved anything from the London Embassy as yet, but it won't be long now! I'm guessing they have it as I haven't phoned or anything :blush:
