Hello Everyone....No, I didn't forget about you all.

I hope everyone here has gotten some progress, if not an approval, in their cases.

I'm still waiting, but my case is very different and very complicated. Still waiting to see if USCIS will reaffirm our first petition......and if not, will they go ahead and approve our second petition. Anyhoo, I'm happy to see that most of you are through the thickest part of the fog.

P.S.-I'm back in the U.S. Had a few 'close calls' in Albania and figured I'd better go home to finish fighting this battle. Besides, thanks to this lengthly and cumbersome immigration process, I am OFFICIALLY 'broke'.

Cheers, Wendy

Sorry to hear that Wendy...I was hoping things would go smoother for you this time (F) (F) (F) (F) (F) Hope you get your deserved approval really soon :thumbs: Did you have fun in Albania?

Hey, Congrats to you Lora :dance: and also Charlene :dance: . I had a feeling you'd get a quick interview there Lora, just a few more weeks now!

I thought I was out of the woods when our case made it to the embassy, but they have a FUBAR new interview scheduling system with no packet 3 or 4, have to call to schedule but they don't tell you that you need to call, it's $9 a call and it's never the right time to call ARRGGHH

That's understandable. You've been waiting patiently for sooo long to get to this interview. I'm sure you've gone over it thousands of times. You're going to be just fine. I'd really love to visit all the places in your photos. Looks really fantastic! Someday..... :)

We got a police certificate a little while ago, thinking ahead, and in Feb they changed the sort they require. Now it has to have a photo on and all sorts, so we're waiting on that, and a few other little things to send back Packet 3. Pete rotates shifts and he was on nights, and getting things done wasn't going to happen. Maybe an interview in May? We'll see. We're planning on getting married end of Sept :D

Congratulations to both Lora and Charlene. I'm incredibly excited for both of you!
