Anna, that is funny. I was just getting ready to send you a PM to see if you had called them, as I know that we have the same NOA1 date. What business do you have reading my mind
The guy that I talked to told me that mine left the shelf to the desk on Monday, so helpful there will be a coffee ring and donught jelly on it soon from an inspector looking at it. Did the tell you when yours went to the inspector? Now that Soliels brothers are approved, I think that we are next in line

I'm just waiting now for the rest of your December petitioners to come through - and then we can force Scott into thinking of throwing a virtual BBQ :-)

Scott, I had called NSC, yesterday, when I found out your's had moved. First time that I've gotten someone so rude. She said she didn't know why I was calling, as it wasn't even time yet for my approval. I told her that others had been approved around my date, that's why I was calling. Anyhow, she said for me to call back on the 150th day and hung up. So, I called today Evidently, it moved yesterday, cause the lady I talked to today, was polite and asked what the officer told me yesterday when I called. I didn't realize they kept track of your calling in, but they do. So, I told her what I was told and she replied that she could tell me it was on it's way to an officer And for me to have a good weekend. That I will do!

Anna,
Don't you wish that you could have told them what you really felt
"Why are you calling"?
A) "I am calling because my family and future are being tied up by a system that hires idiots like you to work for them"
B) "I know that I should not be calling as my life is more or less just a waste of space and the future of my family can not be nearly as important as the the five minutes that it would take for you to see where my petition is"
C) "I think that I dialed the wrong number. I was really trying to call the psychic freinds network, as they seem to be more reliable"
D) "I am calling because I needed to talk with someone as sad and miserable as you to feel better about myself"
E) "Is Elvis there?"
On the serious note, (If a BSIS employee reads this), I am jut kidding. I have had a few rude people on the phone, but also had many very nice people. The guy that I spoke to a few days ago was a super nice person.

Its true that we have had nice people answer the phone. But its also true that they could never make up for all the rude ones. The first time I called the lady was just so nice and sympathetic and I think she gave me the wrong view about what it would be like to call the BCIS.
And I'm not trying to take any cheap shots at them either. The fact is that when it comes to k1/k3 visas they should not wonder why we are calling and why we are concerned. They hold the key to our future in the grips of their very slow system...is it any wonder that all of us dont' go nuts that have had to deal with NSC???
It is doubly unfair to first put us through this type of a system and then question our motives when we want some answers.
We could all get approved today and that would still not fix the process that we have had to endure.

I'm glad yours has moved onto a desk Anna.

But for that nightmarish phone call, I would have never found this wonderfully supportive community otherwise, because it was the sheer desperation to try to find answers that drove me to the 'Net.
That's worth a lot. I would call CSC and tell the phone guy from January thanks, but I suspect he's still under the rock his heartless, mindless, sadistically passive aggressive, spineless body slimed out from under to take my call in January.
P.S. Officer Velasquez in April is the only reason I don't wax more poetic on this subject. She didn't restore my faith but she at least poured some salve into the wounds.

Oh, I don't think any of us will ever forget the price that we have had to pay for wanting to simply share our lives with the one we love.
I personally will never forget that in this country of ours we have decided to treated immigrant workers like kings when it comes to this issue while Americans suffer. And don't get me wrong...I don't want immigrant workers to suffer either. As long as anyone is seeking the same type of immigration (bring over a spouse or a fiance) they should all get to deal with the same process.
The people I feel worst for are green card holders in this country. They can only petition for a spousal visa and the processing time for that is 5-7 years. I don't believe that anyone on the planet can think that is fair.
I'll give you an exaple that will prove the point. If today I'm an immigrant worker in this country waiting for a company to sponsor my green card - then I can go out and get married to a woman back home and bring her back right away (at least from India)...
But if before I get married and bring her over; some company comes through and gets me my green card then its a 5-7 years wait for her to come over.
I doubt there is anyone that can explain why it works that way.

Lots of awful situations under the current system. Not as bad but one which I also find very saddening is that GC holders cannot petition for elderly and often frail parents with no-one available to care for them. They have to wait until they are USC's.
Ok, so we don't want a flood of elderly, incapacitated people ( although at least they wouldn't be taking jobs so that puts shut to that one) but who wants to choose between an elderly widowed parent and spouse? Many of these GC holders will be USC's in 4/6 years or less anyway - it would be decent I'd think if the BCIS could at least consider some relief on a 'case by case' basis. If the parent can be supported adequately by the adult child I don't see how it could be claimed they'd be a burden on the state.
