Hi everyone! I want to say first that I am "nobody" as far as taking it upon myself to post this...I just move threads (like *many* others), but I just thought I would start this thread as a reminder...maybe if it could get bumped up for a day or two, more people would be aware.... :thumbs:

As you've probably noticed, there have been a *huge* amount of moved threads lately--primarily in this forum. That's because (just a recap for those who don't know) a number of people (myself included) had a discussion in the site discussion forum and reached a decision (ultimately the Cap. Ewoks decision, obviously) to create a subforum to this one for all the congratulations posts...or...I received my NOA1 or NOA2 posts...or March filers, April filers...etc etc etc. We figured if we could keep ALL POSTS EXCEPT K1 QUESTIONS in another forum, it would be much easier for those who *do* have questions to get them answered.

Often there are so many celebrations going on (and YAY for that, right??!!! When we were doing our K1 petition I *always* posted my celebrations too!) :) that people's questions get bumped off of the page rather quickly and so they never get an answer, or not as many answers as they otherwise could have.

If you have a thread moved from this forum, it is most usually (but not *always*)moved to the subforum directly below this one. There is, at least as of now, a link left to the moved thread anyway, so if you simply click on it, it will bring you back to that thread.

Just thought I would try to further explain the WHY of all of the threads being moved once again, as there have been a great deal questioning it lately. Bottom line is just trying to ensure that those who have questions don't get lost in the shuffle.

One major point that has to be made is that it is NOT to discourage *in any way* the celebrations....we've all been through this process, or are in it now...so we all KNOW how big it is to get those NOAs, touches, approvals, etc...and how good it is to commiserate with people who filed about the same time as you. Just please put those threads in the subforum below....then they can still be there but won't need to be moved, and this forum will remain clutter free and open for questions! Everyone happy... :)

This was just a lil' reminder and mainly also posted for those who may not pay attention to the site discussion forum and not realize what's been going on with all of the threads moving...I certainly hope no one has been offended by it...celebrate away! Just please post it in the proper place and that will reduce the clutter of "this thread has been moved to..." here in this forum.

Good luck to all on your journeys!! :) M.

Edited to add: and yes, I definitely see the irony of posting this in this forum...as it's not a K1 question...but I'm certainly sure you can see why I *did* post this here! hehehe :P

I think the subforum should then have a different title that better reflects its intended content otherwise most people will never understand which forum to post in. Visa case filing.... that covers many posts.

Yes...it is kind of confusing I agree....maybe go to the site discussion forum and in one of the related threads make some suggestions?

That's the very reason I made this thread...I think a lot of the reason many threads still have to be moved is because people don't know where to post what. I tried to list a few specific ones, but basically if in doubt...it only takes a moment...go to that subforum for a couple of minutes and see what type of posts are there. I think if most people did that they would catch on quickly enough...you could also look at the links still left in this forum to give you an idea. (I mean "you" in general of course!)

If everyone would do that, it would cut down on the clutter in this forum from threads being moved, bigtime. :) I'm going to try to keep this thread near the top for a couple of days..hopefully many will see it. :) M.

eta: to me, visa case filing is pretty ambiguous as well. Also, many would be quick to add that you are *technically* filing a petition (I129F), not filing for the visa at this point...but I know what you meant ;)

Basically, the subforum should be used for any and all K1-related "celebration" threads and case progress....such as NOA1, NOA2, touches, RFE, etc...anything that's not a question to be even more basic! :)

Is there are way to put a link directly to the subforum at the top of the k-1 discussion forum page so that posters/browsers don't have to navigate back to the main forums page and then forward again to the subforum?

Just a thought.

So anyone can move posts? Not just the official moderators?

I actually dislike the new, split-method. Yes, the "hey i got approved" threads take up space, but oh well. And even aside from that, it seems like there's be a ton more moved threads lately. maybe I'm just noticing it more because of this post. makes it very hard to find stuff again.

But so be it.

TimsDaisy,

I agree with you, somewhat; but maybe I am just to used to the way things were and don't care much for change. I guess sometimes it CAN be good.

As I stated previously, I think that if there was a link to the congrats page at the top of the general discussion page then it would simplify the process of navigating to the "split method" as you called the new subforum. Also in my opinion, it would be even better if that link opened in a new window.

As with all of my posts, this is simply my personal opinion.
