As of today i have all the immunizations, papers, affidavids, p3 forms pre filled in, etc for my visa, but STILL no word from VSC.
Today is day 30 from when my petition was handed to an officer to look at, a little over 100 days sofar waiting in total.
I just wish this was over already, i should have sent mine in december i guess, it seems most of those are already approved.
My other half is also slowly losing all faith in me returning anytime soon, i wish i could be with her already![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)

it is very frustrating thats for sure.. most people are happy to go thru Vermont I think..they are generally pretty speedy but the odd time they seem stuck on a case.
we are coming up to a year since we sent in our application to california.. not happy in the least I can assure you.

We all understand the frustrations, though. After this is all over with, you will look back and not realize just how fast the time flew by and that it wasn't as bad as you feel it is now. I'm sure you two will be approved soon.
Good Luck,
Jamie

I understand your frustration well. As is souls canuck, I am also approaching the 1-year mark since I filed with CSC, and we haven't even had our interview YET!!
Mind if I join you in having a depressing day??

Thanks for the support, i agree that i am lucky to go through Vermont, sometimes it just becomes hard to accept that the only reason you arent with the one you love is that some person has to decide over paperwork (and that goes especially for people in other service centers).
I'm making the best of it and doing the things i know i will miss once i leave the country i was born. I'm lucky to have the time to do it so i can leave without feeling it was all so rushed.
Thanks again.

They might be doing one of those security/fraud checks on your case which can cause a delay

Originally posted by Darkie Darkie, we filed through Vermont on December 4th. We had to re-file because of a lack of info and have been re-counting the days since. Today, Valentine's Day, my fiance' is 3,840 miles way, five time zones ahead. We speak on the phone almost daily but it's not enough. Yes, every case is different, but as you said, we are at the mercy, discretion and ability of someone else. We cannot control this part of our destiny and lives so we wait. I am very sick today with a stomach virus and a heavy duty sinus infection. I had to miss work (I work as a patient transporter/attendant in a hospital) which is rare for me. I work to make the bucks I need to get my baby here. It also keeps me focued on our goals. There are many things one can do to fill the time waiting. Tom Petty said it, "the waiting is the hardest part", and he was right.

Speaking of Vermont . . . I received an RFE in October (one week
after the 129F for K-3 was approved) for evidence of the marriage. I
felt sure I had not left out the copy of the documents (Chongqing,
China) but I assumed that they had been misplaced so I copied them
again and mailed them off. Well, I just saw on the website that they
have sent me another RFE. Since all the documents were approved by
MBC, I can't imagine what the problem could be.

At the moment I am focusing on looking forward to the end of the month and a short visit from my fiance to celebrate my birthday. It would be wonderful to be approved by then so we can say goodbye at the airport knowing it won't be long until we see each other again on the other side of the Atlantic.
