[Hannah+Vito 0]

I thought blakes January thread was an exellant idea

and all three of the other may filer threads i've found are mostly vermonters! and i've not seen many May CSCers posting, surly there is more than that?

so i thought i would start this thread to cure my bordom while my i-pod syncs

so come on guys where are you? come out and play

It's always a great idea to keep up to date with the people who filed the month before & after you!, (and the same month ofc) So being an April filer I thought I would come in and say Hello and welcome! , Heres to a speedy journey!

Congratulations to all of you for making past the first great hurdle - which is actually filing the petition. I'm glad that you've started this thread because the waiting game, especially for the CSC, can be both draining and sometimes demoralizing. I've found that the support of co-filer's to be a wonderful way to get through the ups and downs of this time. Good Luck to everyone and keep the discussion flowing....

We will be filing in the next couple of days. The application is with Chris in the States right now and just needs his passport photo. I am constantly nervous and keep checking VJ for anything I may have missed. I guess here begins the waiting game. Once we get our stuff off to CSC I will add a signature.

Here's to staying sane through the process.

Just take it one day at a time and remember to breathe. I thought I would feel so much better once the petition was off...but really, that was just the beginning. When you feel bad, let yourself feel bad...and when you have a good day, don't feel guilty for it! It's ok to have a good day, even when you're waiting and you can't be together. We're all in this together and we'll make it through.

Hey stardusted welcome and I hope you have a smooth journey. I know what you mean by nervous. We sent ours off on the 30th of April and I'm still constantly trying to work out if theres anything we did wrong or missed out or anything remotely bizzare that will crop up and cause problems. but I guess I'm just a nervous person. Someone has to only look at me and I feel like I've done something wrong even when I havent.

To all who have made it.. congrats

To the once who are all most there or have started getting any reply sort of from the USCIS/NVC/Consulate.. All the very best in all that has to follow and i hope and pray you get your visa

To the once sailing the boat that i am.. please help me when you hear from any of the centers...

My fiance who lives in CA has sent the petition to the center closest to him - Laguna Niguel on the 15th of May 2008... i am here looking at the internet to check and estimate time on when he would get his first letter and what to do after he recieves it.

We have sent all the documents asked or mentioned on all possible websites about the K1 Visa and we also have met in person 8 months back.

Do keep me posted on every step that you go forward with, this way it would ease out the process and i wil do the same if i hear from USCIS any earlier than you..

I'm in .. we filed two weeks ago (May 5) and not a word back yet.. by mid week I'll call the bank to see if the check has been cashed. We filed to Vermont as well.

Best of luck to all.

Hey, great to have more company!

What you are waiting for next is your noa1 which a form of reciept from csc. I think it has noa1 on it in brackets and a numerical code for the form which I can't remember right now and on wrong computer to bring up the copy.

Vito is also in Cali, and he sent ours off on the 30th of April. The recieved it on the 1st may and generated our noa1 (this is the date it has on it) I didn't arrive at his until at least the 4th I think. After you have your noa1 its a waiting game till noa2 and from what I gather with csc its about a 4.5 to 5 month wait . I'm guessing that as there have been a few january guys approved this month. Hope this helps

I'm in .. we filed two weeks ago (May 5) and not a word back yet.. by mid week I'll call the bank to see if the check

has been cashed. We filed to Vermont as well

I'm not sure about Vermont, I think they are taking a little longer than csc to dish out the noa1s, you are not the only vscers I've seen on here commenting about this. Look out for William wallace on here he has a may thread and filled and Vermont in early may also. Look in my profile and see if my post in his thread is still there. He was having the same problem. But the bright side you'll be looking at a lot shorter wait for your noa2 that us cscers as Vermont is way quicker on that.

Best of luck to all.

are rats i did it again sorry conway the reply to your answer is in your quote. Stupid pod thingy

Sarah and I will be filing later this week. I'm just waiting for her pieces of the packet (G825A form, letter of intent, passport photo etc) and then it's all ready to go!

We'll be filing at the CSC so hopefully they'll get the ball rollin' and we can get a speedy approval!

I think it's the proof of meeting/relationship that gets me most anxious. I keep thinking of *new* things to add to the application, and then keeping scanning and sending Chris more documents and I'm all, "Check your e-mail! Print those documents! Life and death!" I feel really nervous that I'm not the one mailing it off to CSC because I've been reading up like crazy on the process and Chris really hasn't. I find all sorts of new things to worry about all the time.

You know what? I was too! Vito even had 130 pages of skype chat that he didn't know what to do with. But the others were really helpful and said that the petition is to establish that you have met within the last two years and at the interview is when you establish bonafide relationship. So in the end we sent photocopies of my tickets from the last trip, copies of some tickets for his train with my name on from said trip, I think he sent a reciept of his trip when we first met and photocopies of the stamps and picture pages of my passport. Then we sent some photos of us together and I think in the end he did sent a small selection of the chat but not too much. I must admit I did find other bits I wish we had sent but It was too late by time I found it. If they need more they can rfe us. Worrying just gives you an ulcer.

get him to sign up to here if you want him to read up more.
