Howdy Everyone. Once again today, I thought I was going blind. Like last night's touch that led me to question my eyesight, the email this morning again made me do the same. My approval came in. Finally. Finally. Finally.

I am hoping, wishing and praying that this is a trend for us long waiters and that this step will be complete for all of us very, very soon.

I am off to work now where I cannot write to the forums but I am hoping for all of you.

Ciao!!!

:dance: Congratulations :dance:

I hope we will follow shortly. All this waiting is driving me nuts :blink:

Is there another step that makes some get to NVC faster than others?? I understand they send them by the crate, but once again...why are some gone? And others still in limbo???

Man Discovers Black Hole On Earth

An Omaha man recently discovered a black hole here on the surface of the Earth, where physicists had long thought them impossible to exist. "I wasn't looking for a black hole" he said "I was just trying to get a visa for my fiancee". Skeptical astronomers and physicists alike were quick to deride Mr. Smotherman, the accidental discoverer of the phenomenon, but his findings were recently verified by the renowned physicist Dr. Ima Phake.

Says Dr. Phake: "In a normal black hole, the gravitational force is so strong that no substance, not even light itself, can escape it's awesome power. In this new form of black hole, confirmed to exist at the National Visa Center in New Hampshire, the bureaucratic tangles are so dense that no information of any kind is able to escape its grasp. It's really quite remarkable." When asked how he was able to verify the existence of the black hole at the NVC, Dr Phake responded "It was actually simplicity itself. I began by using their documented 'preferred' contact method: email. I set up sophisticated sensors capable of detecting even the most minute particles of information, then sent them an email request for case status. When my equipment failed to register the receipt of any information whatsoever I began to grow very excited. But there are other ways of information emission so I checked those too. I called and accessed their automated system, but as near as my sensors were able to detect, there was no information at all present. Lastly, I contacted them directly and spoke with an entity which described itself as "Nomad" or possibly "Nimrod". It was difficult to discern due to the poor connection, quite possibly caused by the immense no-information field that must be present there, and this is when things really got interesting. While speaking with this entity, not only did my equipment fail to register the presence of any information, but all of the documents closest to my telephone began to have the ink sucked right off them! This information 'dead-zone' was so strong that not only could no information already located at the NVC escape, but it was also sucking up all the information in its vicinity! I expect to post the video of this incident on YouTube later today Also, my name is pronounced 'Pahake'!!"

Mr. Smotherman was not available for comment when this article went to press, but in a previously released statement he had this to say: "I was never trying to discover anything as startling or important as this black hole. I do not seek fame, nor notoriety, nor monetary gain from this thing. I only want to find out when my K-1 visa paperwork is being sent to the embassy in Moscow! Nothing more! Is that too much to ask???"

If they are CSC filers I'm not surprised to hear that. For whatever reason, it takes ages for them to get to NVC. I confirmed yesterday that mine is there already and I was only approved last Thursday. Seems VSC still gives us one slight advantage. But I feel so bad that the CSC filers have to wait so stinking long. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

Probably not reported as most don't think this is worthy of reporting! In fact, I didn't update my timeline, but will right now. :blush:

November 9th? From VSC? I was not aware anyone from VSC was waiting that long. Based on the posts I have seen I thought VSC sends the approved petitions to NVC in less than a week. CSC on the other hand is extremely slow.

So calling DOS will give me a new case number to? I don't have to call NVC as well too? That would make things easier.

This was discussed here yesterday and as far as I know you can find out everything you need to know from DOS. Please let us know if that is not the case.
