On a side note, there is already at least one lawsuit against Paul Novak and Michael Chertoff. I couldn't see the specifics, but it was definitely pertaining to immigration issues.

I am still waiting for the ACLU to investigate and get back to me

well interesting .....I just got an email from my Senator and she told me that VSC told her........ "this case is in the processing area as of 1/10/08 (today)—the petitioner should be hearing within approximately 30 days".......she keeps following up for me even without my request.....at least I have been impressed with her continued interest....she also told me they are actively working on some kind of hearing.......which of course I would be interested in testifying on behalf of all of us......the clients......rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......I hope and pray this can be fixed.....too late for me, Virgil, Ric, Charlene and Mirla but maybe for the future.......Lora

I am APPROVED!!!

Receipt Number: EACXXXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On January 9, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I am approved and can finally move on in the process and sad at the same time because there are so many people that are still waiting and have been for a long long time

I will still be active here, because I dont have anything else to do, so if there is anything anybody wants me to still do (letters, chocholates, poop, etc) just let me know.

Woo HOOO!!!

As a side note, I tried to call using the RFE trick today because I thought I might be getting close with all the Sept filers approved lately, I couldnt get a RFE person and it kept kicking me to cust. service so I tried back about 10 times and still couldnt get a hold of one so I just let it take me to the cust service people. This is at 430pm CST. The cust serv rep told me that my case is still pending and I was still in the 6 month timeframe. She added they are currently working June 19th petitions. I check the CRIS website at 730pm CST and it shows approved. Shows what they know.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I understand your question right, it would mean that say your 6-month mark is was December 30, then 30 days out of that would be January 30 or later.

I think.

I saw that. I know. Ignore it. Good behavior is boring and we all desperately need a place to vent some frustration.

Yeah but they aren't saying 'six months' anymore. They're saying 'currently processing June 18'

so.. is it not six months anymore at all? Is it June 18th plus six months plus one month? my brain baffles.

Congratulations to all recent approvals and visas!

Faith, I am so happy you are being moved along and wish for you a speedy consulate process!

Lora, I think of you every day. Stay strong. It's coming.

I first posted here at visa journey back in September when my SO was denied entry back into the US on the VWP. It was many of you who answered my questions and set us on the path that we're on now. The waiting. Thank you all again for taking the time to answer a newbie's questions during a very difficult time. Since then I have come back every day to check on the progress of your petitions as I educate myself on the process. For some reason I felt drawn to your previous VSC thread and have followed this one since it's start.

As it stands now, Russell has been back in New Zealand for 4 months. I finally (after more than 2 years) had my court date for my divorce in December and we will be able to file for our K1 in April when it's final. Yes, I will be overnighting to VSC the very day I receive my decree! Things are moving along for us but it will be some time before Russell can come back home. Happily, I am travelling to NZ a week from Monday to spend 3 weeks with my love. My mother (whom the tickets were a gift from) will be joining me so that she can meet his family and see the BEAUTIFUL country he is from. I cant wait!

I am utterly disgusted by this entire process and my heart goes out to each and every one of you still waiting to be with the one you love. I'm sure you feel for anyone that has to endure this but it certainly can not be easy to watch as others who filed so much later be approved.

The real reason I posted.... selfishly, I want to thank you for being such a strong voice in this process and working so hard to make the changes because I am one of those people who will be filing in the months to come and I am hoping beyond hope that the VSC straightens up before then! If there is anything us lurkers can do for any one of you waiting please feel free to ask.

My best to each of you. I'll be watching.

[rae_and_scott 1]

Ah, yes, I think it would be Dec 18th + 30 days then. 7 months from their posted date, as you said.

Yeah but they aren't saying 'six months' anymore. They're saying 'currently processing June 18'

so.. is it not six months anymore at all? Is it June 18th plus six months plus one month? my brain baffles.

Correct.

But we all know that what they say has no basis in reality, so try not to let that bit get you too stressed.

woooo...screwed up those quotes. sorry!
