Trail-mix, do you mean that Sierratango started the process (I-130) back in 2008? And then obviously put things on hold for awhile before continuing? So that could be one theory why the NVC to interview went quicker? Does that person/couple ever post on here anymore?

Sorry, I'm an idiot about these things, but wehn I want to go on to edit my timeline - how do I do that? I didn't see anywhere to edit, or I may be blind. Thanks!

Yes, starting back at his I-130 filing, but I don't know if that is the actual reason, or if they did indeed put it on hold

The easiest way to edit your timeline is by clicking on My Assistant (top right of this screen) and clicking on Edit/Add my timeline - if you mean the actual timeline?

That My Assistant pop up is so handy.

Yeah, Sierratango hasn't posted for quite awhile...which is especially unfortunate for those of us who have done Electronic Processing, given that he is the first person from VJ who went that route and has already had a successful interview.

We could have learned a lot from his review of the process. :(

Ya, that's too bad he/she doesn't post on here and can't give feedback - it's so awesome that people who've already been through the process are willing to help out others like us - means a LOT! Is there any chance there was an error with their timeline? It just seems insanely fast compared to everyone else!

Trailmix, I added my case complete date....b/c I *think* that it was complete today because I got a "sign in failure" when I went to the Payment Center tonight!

Oh before I forget, I did some wicked fast organizing and I was able to give them the information they requested and a bit more butter for their bread. If anyone gets into the same situation, and you are located near the consulate when you stay here, you can just hand it in to the guards and they'll take it up for you.

I should hope proof of my sponsor having almost half a million in assets is enough! Good grief lol

I totally agree with you, Wyatt... but that whole thing is starting to be a real bummer. Hopes up! Hopes up! OH, nothing. What? Nothing again? Still nothing?

I'd rather live in the abyss of the cranky and such than allow myself to be be let down every damn month!

STARTING to be a real bummer? Hon, even for ME, who has had a better than average trip through CR-1 process, this thing has been buttcrack central for months!

I just find it's better for me to get my hopes up and be let down than to live in the abyss of the cranky. Maybe once I've been to the apogee of the same ride a few times I'll take the abyss over the optimism!
