You are a stronger person than me Jeraly. I think that if I were in your situation any my visa did not come soon enough then all my family and friends would be coming over for a wonderful engagement ceremony instead of a wedding one. The thought of a K3 after the long process of a K1 would be too much for me to bear.

Well it seems I might be able to enter post-NOA2 and have my "non-legal" wedding then wait out the res of the K1 but we will see - we can only take each day at a time and we can't change anything now so we just have to trust in the fates :)

well, CSC once again crawls to start the week... one approval to VSC's seven :angry:

Grr yeah - although we have had JCochran approved now so things are looking up for us later July filers :)

every day? or, like, even every hour or so? no no no; who'd do a thing like that? *nervous laugh*

nervous.gif

That's why I invented the USCIS drinking game. Here's how it works: Every time you check your status, take a shot. If you get a touch, take 2 shots. If you are approved, take 3 shots, declare yourself the winner, and go to bed. Wait until tomorrow to tell us all you are approved so that you're not too inebriated to scream and shout in gigantic purple letters. =P

Some observations based on my own experiences: The more I check my status, the longer it takes me to check my status. Eventually I am physically unable to check my status. Problem solved!!

:lol:

That sounds like an awesome game... what's everyone doing Friday night UK time?!

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 count 9, am I wrong?

Dec 5 - 1

Dec 4 - 5

Dec 3 - 3

Maybe someone earlier entered their date wrong and corrected it, thus losing 1 for the week.

Mika & Brian show 'Nebraska' as their service centre, but Nebraska sent them all to CSC, so it counts as one for us... Texas counts as VSC :)

Ahhh good, I would have had some explaining to do if I got Kathy banned from the sweepstakes. :whistle:

I didn't think about Texas petitions either. Good to know.
