It's par for the course I think.......At this point it is just amusing to me that they seem so very proud of themselves.......Basically I am thinking it just was incrediable bad timing on all our parts and total unpreparedness and lack of vision on there part....I hope in the long run they can learn from all of this and plan there next increase in fees with increase in processors.......

ooooo look at that list dwindling!!

Good to see you trinner! Let us know when she gets her interview date!

[Scott and Iryna 2]

In the beginning of the month, VSC had really been cranking. The week of March 2nd they approved 39 petitions (NOA2), 31 on the week of the 9th, and 21 on the week of the 16th. But this week has been pathetic... only 8 approvals so far... Maybe a bunch of the folks took Easter vacation this week? I sure hope it picks up again next week, as I have recently discovered that I am not nearly as patient a person as I thought I was...

Good to see you trinner! Let us know when she gets her interview date!

Thanks! I'm extremely grumpy with myself... I did soooo much research about the filing process, and spent time toying with generating lists, etc... and I realize now that I didn't do enough learning about the post NOA2 requirements. I mostly knew everything, but didn't realize she needs things like the long form of her birth certificate (she only has the short), etc. So I'm costing us time (a week and a half) as we are gathering the other things we need instead of being able to respond to packet 3 immediately.

But I hope that we will have everything on 3/31 and can send the checklist to the embassy then.

I bet you are getting excited... the time is getting very close for your petition filing...

[psiprez 3]

Can't believe we've moved up to #21 on the total list (both a good and bad thing).

Glad so many have been approved who were waiting before us... but it's getting frustrating.

Is it the RFE holding it up? Who knows. I'm trying not to blame them for being too picky, but I can't help but think our RFE was a bit of a stretch. Apparently a birth certificate and all pages of my valid passport were not enough proof of identity and citizenship. Had to send in expired passport in maiden name and SS cards in maiden and married name. I also sent in certificates issued by our church for my baptismal and marriage.

Pffft.
